Peter sayeth somewhat otherwise, who writeth that they are fed in error, and that they eat together with the company of the faithful.

Clouds without water. The two similitudes which are in Peter, yet to one end he knitteth into one. For, each nippeth the boasting. Because these varlets, albeit they promise many things, yet they are barren, and empty within. As the Clouds that are driven with the storms give hope of rain, but by and by they wast to nothing. Peter addeth a similitude of a dry and empty Fountain. And Jude coupleth divers Metaphors to one end: that Corrupt trees: as at gathering time the strength of trees decreaseth: After he calleth them Trees without fruit, plucked up by the roots, twice dead. As if he should have said, there is no juice within, how soever the leaves appear.
