Not which are vpon the earth but yet in another sence This kinde of speaking is as much as if he had sayde I haue warned you that earthly thinges are not to be regarded yet must you trauayle about this that you mortifie the vices whiche detayne you in the earth And he meaneth that we as long as the vices of the fleshe doe florishe in vs are earthly but we are made heauenlye by the renuing of the Spirite After whoredome hee putteth Vncleannesse by which worde he putteth all kinde of wantonnesse wherewith lecherous men defile themselues Vnto these is added 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 that is in latine Mollities whiche is englished inordinate affection which comprehendeth all the allurementes of Lecherie Although this word doeth otherwise signifie perturbations or trouble of the mynde and vntemperate motions contrarie to reason yet to this place doth well agree mollities Why couetousnesse is called the worshipping of Images seeke out of the Epistle to the Ephesians lest I should doe one thing twice 6 For which commeth I reproue not Erasmus for translating it is wont to come Yet because the present tence is in the Scripture often taken in place of the future tence according to the manner of the Hebrew tongue I chose rather to leaue you the reading that was the meane whiche might bee fitted to eyther sence Therefore he warneth the Collossians eyther of the vsitate iudgementes of God which are dayly seene or else of the vengeaunce which once he hath denounced to the vngodlye and which hangeth ouer their heades and yet shall not bee manifested before the last day Although I willingly allow that former sence and exposition that God who is the perpetuall iudge of the world is accustomed to punish the wickednesse wherof he speaketh And by name he sayth the wrath of God shall come or is wont to come vpon vnbeleeuers disobedient persons rather then threatneth to them such a matter For God had rather wee shoulde see his wrath in the reprobate that feele it in our selues When the promises of grace are openly pronounced euerye one of the godlye ought no otherwise to embrace them than as properlye appoynted for themselues And so lette vs feare the threatninges of wrath and destruction that that which is allotted which is alotted to the reprobate may bee vnto vs a document or lesson In deede God is often sayde to be also angry with his Children and sometime hee doth sharpely chasten their sinnes But in this place Paule is in hande about eternall destruction the viewe or Spectacle whereof appeareth in the onelye reprobates In summe as often as GOD threatneth hee doeth as it were trauerslye set out vnto vs the payne that wee beholding the same in the reprobate maye be feared awaye from sinning 7 In which ye did walke Erasmus did ill for that hee referred it to men translating it thus amongest whome for Paule without doubt meant it of vices in which he sayth the Colossians were conuersant at what time they liued in them For Liuing and Walking differ one from another as abilitie to doe and doing Liuing goeth afore and Walking followeth Galathians the 5. chapter and 25. verse If you liue in the spirite walke also in the Spirite By these wordes he declareth that it is an heynous thing if they being any longer addicted to vices to which they are dead by Christ are giuen ouer vnto thē Loke the 6. chapter to the Romaynes It is an argument taken from the priuation or taking away the cause to the priuation or taking awaye the effect 8 But now c. That is seeing you haue ceased to liue in the fleshe For this is the force and nature of mortification that all corrupt affections are quenched in vs so that hereafter sinne engendereth not in vs his accustomed fruites Whereas I haue translated it fuming in greeke it is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which word signifieth a more hastie or heady kinde of heate than is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 And here he reckoneth vp kindes of vices that are contrary to the former as you may readily see 9 Lye not one to another seing you haue put off the olde man with his deedes 10 And you haue put on the new man whiche is renewed into knowledge after the image of him which created him 11 Where there is no Greeke nor Iewe Circumcision nor vncircumcision Barbarian Scythian bondman nor freeman but Christ all thinges and in all thinges 12 Put on therefore as the elect of God holy and beloued the bowels of compassion courtesie humility kindnesse long suffering 13 Forbearing one another and forgiuing if any haue a controuersie against another as Christ hath forgiuē you so doe you also 9 Lye not When he forbiddeth lying he condemneth all maner of subteltie and all euill practises of deceite and falshoode for I doe not take it as meant of slaunders onely but generally I make it contrarye to sinceritie and true dealing therefore I might more briefely thus translate it and I cannot saye whether also better Lye not one to another And hee prosecuteth that his argument of the societie or fellowshippe whiche the faythfull haue with the death and resurrection of Christe but he vseth other manners of
