The corruptions of the Churches of Galatia.

Gal. 1. 6, 7, 8, 9. I marvel that you are so soon removed, from him that called you, to the grace of Christ, to another Gospel; which is not another; but there are some that trouble you, and would pervert the Gospel of Christ: But though •e or an Angel from ⟨p. 42⟩heaven, preach any other Gospel to you, than that which we have preached to you, let him be accursed— Chap. 3. 1, 2, 3. O foolish Galatians! Who hath bewitched you, that you should not obey the truth? before whose eyes—Are ye so foolish? Having begun in the spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh? Have ye suffered so many things in vain—chap. 4. 9. How turn y• again to weak and beggarly elements, whereto ye desire again to be in bondage. vers. 10. 11. Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years; I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed on you labour in v•in—v. 16. Am I therefore become your enemy because I tell you the truth? Tell me, ye that desire to be under the Law—v. 29. As then, he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the spirit, even so it is now (The Legalists persecuting the Apostles) Chap. 5. 2. Behold I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised Christ shall profit you nothing. V. 3, 4. For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole Law: Christ is become of no effect to you. Who ever of you are justified by the Law, ye are fallen from grace: v. 9. A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump. 12. I would they were even cut off which trouble you. Chap. 6. 12. As many as desire to make a fair show in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised.
