Hitherto the Evangelist hath set down the several heads of Christs1 Sermon more at large; but from this verse to the end of the Chapter, he handleth briefly the points which follow. This verse dependeth not upon the former, but herein our Saviour Christ lays down a new point of instruction, directing his Disciples, and in them all ministers, unto that Christian discretion which ought to be observed in the dispensation of the word of God. And his direction is here propounded in a prohibition of giving holy things to dogs, or casting pearls before swine: which is enforced by a double reason, least they tread upon you, &c.
