VERS. 18. They are the enemies of the Cross of Christ.
VERS. 18. They are the enemies of the Crosse of Christ.
IN these and the following words, is a description of these in ordinate walkers, which the Apostle speaketh of, they are described by their disposition: First outwardly, that they are enemies to Christs death. Then inwardly, their belly is their God, they glory in their shame, and they mind earthly things. Then by their end, which is damnation. They are pointed out and described to us, to the end we might take notice of them: by the Cross is not meant the sign of the cross, as the Papists fondly imagine, but Christs death on the cross, whereby was made satisfaction,1 and redemption, and reconciliation.
