no marvel if his logic and philosophy halteth; and his infirmity so contracted may increase so far, as in the end to bereave him of common sense. He contents himself as his manner is with saying, that Interpreters do generally expound it as he doth; some few he confesseth understand it other wise, but most concur with him, to wit, that, it is delivered in earnest; what a jest is this as if any Interpreter was ever known to say, that our Savour spake ⟨p. 40⟩not in earnest. Neither do I know any that interpreteth the place as he shapes it, as if our Saviour spake according to the opinion of weak-minded faint-hearted men only.
