This verse containeth the application of the former testimony unto the particular persons whom it concerneth: setting down who they be that are scorners and followers of their lusts: namely, scorners are they that make sects, separating themselves from the people of God: and followers of their lusts be those who are fleshly, and without the spirit: which words being applied to these seducers, fasten two sins more upon them. The first whereof is, that they are makers of sects. The second, that they have not the spirit. For the former, the word signifieth a singling and separating of themselves from the Church and people of God, and consequently the making of sects to themselves: neither may this seem strange that there should be such persons that make such separation; seeing it is the nature of every sinner to fly from the presence of God, as Adam did: and Peter when he had seen a part of the glory of Christ, bad him depart from him for he was a sinner. The prodigal son must have his portion apart, and will not be persuaded to live with his father; and every ungodly man withdraweth himself unto perdition, Heb. 10.38.

For the former, the word signifieth a singling and separating of themselues from the Church and people of God, and consequently the making of sects to themselues: neither may this seeme strange that there should be such persons that make such separation; seeing it is the nature of euery sinner to flie from the presence of God, as Adam did: and Peter when he had seene a part of the glorie of Christ, bad him depart from him for he was a sinner. The prodigal sonne must haue his portion apart, and will not be perswaded to liue with his father; and euery vngodly man withdraweth himselfe vnto perdition, Heb. 10.38.
