Now the difference of these two may be this; By dogs are meant obstinate1 enemies that maliciously revile the ministry of the word, the doctrine of God, and the messengers thereof: such a dog was Alexander ⟨p. 440⟩the Copper-smith, 2. Tim. 4. 14. & such were many of the Jews become soon after Christs ascension, who reviled the Apostle Paul, and Barnabas, and blasphemed the doctrine which they taught, Act. 13. 45. and of this sort are all convicted obstinate heretics. By swine, are meant obstinate enemies that do contemn the word of God; either because they will not admit reformation of life by it, such as Ahab and Her•d were; or because they scorn & mock at the word of God, as they do, of whom Peter speaks, that mock at the promises of Christs second coming.2
