7 Ye did run well, who did hinder you that you should not obey the truth. 8 The Persuasion is not of him who hath called you. 9 A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump. 10 I am persuaded of you in the Lord, that you will think no other thing: he that troubleth you, shall bear judgement, whosoever he be. 11 And I, Brethren, if as yet I preach Circumcision, why as yet do I suffer persecution? the offence of the cross is done away. I would to GOD they also were cut away which trouble you.
7 Ye did run wel, who did hinder you that you should not obay the truth. 8 The Perswasion is not of him who hath called you. 9 A little leauen leaueneth the whole lumpe. 10 I am perswaded of you in the Lord, that you will thinke no other thing: he that troubleth you, shall beare iudgement, whosoeuer he be. 11 And I, Bretheren, if as yet I preache Circumcision, why as yet doe I suffer persecution? the offence of the crosse is done away. I would to GOD they also were cut away which trouble you.
7 Ye did run well.) He doth of a set purpose mingle the reproach of their present backsliding, with the praise of their former course, that being ashamed they may the more willingly return into the way. It is a token of wondering that he asketh them who led them away from the right course: whereby he may make them the more ashamed. I thought good once again to turn the Verb [Greek or Hebrew] to Obey rather than to Believe: because now already they had embraced the purity of the Gospel, and were carried away from obeying it.

It is a token of wondering that he asketh them who led them away from the right course: whereby hee may make them the more ashamed. I thought good once againe to turne the Verbe 〈non-Latin alphabet〉 to Obay rather than to Beleeue: because now alreadie they had embraced the puritie of the Gospell, and were caried away from obaying it.
