Verse. 1. Who hath bewitched you?
Verse. 1. VVho hath bevvitched you?
Here Paul excuseth the Galatians, and layeth the fault upon the false Apostles. As though he should say: I see that ye are not fallen thorough wilfulness or malice:1 but the Devil hath sent the enchanting false Apostles his children amongest you, and they do so bewitch you in teaching you that ye are justified by the law, that now ye think otherwise of Christ then ye did afore when ye heard the Gospel preached by me. But we labour both by preaching and writing unto you, to uncharm that sorcery wherewith the false Apostles have bewitched you, and to set at liberty those which are snared therewith.
