Verse. 2. This onely vvould I learne of you: Receaued ye the spirite by the vvorkes of the lavv, or by the hearing of faith preached?
He speaketh these words with a certain indignation and contempt of the false Apostles.1 If I had nothing else against you but even your own experience (saith he) yet have I enough. As if he should say: Go to now, answer me I pray you, which am your scholar (for ye are so suddenly become doctors that ye are now my masters and teachers): Received ye the holy ghost by the works of the law, or by the preaching of the gospel? With this argument he so convinceth ⟨p. 94⟩them that they have nothing to reply again. For their own experience is altogether against them: to wit, that they had received the holy ghost, not by the works of the law, but by the preaching of the gospel.
