continue_v the_o troubler_n of_o the_o people_n of_o god_n belike_o these_o seducer_n to_o bring_v the_o apostle_n doctrine_n into_o contempt_n suggest_v otherwhiles_o that_o he_o do_v so_o preach_v

especial_o the_o false_a teacher_n among_o they_o be_v very_o apt_a to_o vaunt_v themselves_o as_o great_a patron_n of_o the_o law_n yet_o the_o apostle_n show_v that_o herein_o they_o do_v extreme_o fail_v of_o a_o due_a regard_n unto_o the_o law_n of_o god_n that_o they_o walk_v not_o according_a to_o the_o law_n of_o love_n according_a to_o that_o law_n which_o in_o just_a comprehension_n do_v include_v whatsoever_o the_o law_n enjoin_v but_o they_o be_v bite_v and_o devour_v one_o of_o another_o to_o the_o endanger_n of_o the_o utter_a ruin_n and_o destruction_n one_o of_o another_o as_o

fall_v into_o 1_o a_o accuse_a supposition_n and_o 2_o a_o threaten_a caveat_n 1_o the_o apostle_n suppose_v do_v accuse_v the_o galatian_n at_o leastwise_o many_o among_o they_o of_o be_v bitter_o bend_v one_o against_o another_o of_o bite_v and_o devour_v one_o another_o and_o 2_o in_o the_o caveat_n the_o apostle_n threaten_v they_o with_o that_o which_o will_v certain_o come_v upon_o they_o if_o they_o go_v on_o in_o that_o unlovely_a unlawful_a course_n which_o be_v no_o other_o but_o a_o utter_a and_o common_a destruction_n draw_v both_o upon_o one_o another_o and_o that_o by_o one_o another_o they_o that_o will_v not_o join_v together_o in_o love_n according_a to_o duty_n the_o apostle_n threaten_v that_o god_n will_v join_v they_o together_o in_o judgement_n according_a to_o desert_n in_o the_o supposition_n therefore_o you_o have_v the_o galatian_n sin_n bite_v and_o devour_v one_o another_o in_o the_o caveat_n you_o have_v their_o danger_n of_o be_v consume_v one_o by_o another_o their_o sin_n great_a and_o their_o danger_n great_a and_o this_o great_a danger_n set_v by_o the_o apostle_n over_o against_o this_o great_a sin_n that_o from_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o danger_n they_o may_v be_v deter_v from_o that_o sin_n which_o draw_v it_o on_o and_o never_o dare_v to_o continue_v bite_v and_o devour_v one_o another_o lest_o they_o shall_v at_o last_o be_v

they_o together_o in_o that_o one_o main_a doctrine_n which_o do_v arise_v from_o they_o both_o conjoint_o consider_v which_o doctrine_n i_o shall_v make_v the_o subject_n of_o my_o present_a discourse_n but_o first_o in_o general_a you_o may_v observe_v very_o easy_o that_o both_o the_o supposition_n and_o the_o caveat_n be_v conceive_v in_o word_n figurative_a which_o be_v borrow_v from_o the_o eat_n of_o meat_n for_o the_o nutriment_n of_o the_o body_n for_o that_o meat_n may_v become_v nutrimentall_a to_o the_o body_n it_o must_v pass_v as_o it_o be_v under_o three_o degree_n 1_o there_o must_v be_v bite_v or_o chew_v of_o it_o with_o the_o tooth_n 2_o there_o must_v be_v eat_v or_o swallow_v down_o of_o it_o into_o the_o stomach_n and_o then_o 3_o there_o must_v be_v the_o concoct_n which_o be_v as_o to_o the_o particular_a nature_n of_o the_o meat_n the_o consume_a of_o it_o that_o so_o it_o may_v become_v proper_a aliment_n for_o the_o body_n be_v assimulate_v thereunto_o now_o two_o of_o these_o degree_n be_v set_v down_o in_o the_o supposition_n there_o be_v bite_v one_o another_o and_o there_o be_v as_o we_o read_v it_o devour_v but_o the_o truth_n be_v the_o word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d be_v plain_o eat_v one_o another_o there_o be_v bite_v and_o eat_v and_o then_o in_o the_o caveat_n there_o be_v the_o consequent_a of_o bite_v and_o eat_v the_o act_n as_o it_o be_v of_o concoction_n whereby_o there_o be_v a_o consumption_n of_o the_o food_n as_o to_o the_o particular_a nature_n of_o the_o same_o that_o it_o may_v become_v aliment_n to_o the_o body_n take_v heed_n that_o you_o be_v not_o consume_v one_o of_o another_o when_o as_o meat_n be_v chew_v with_o the_o tooth_n and_o take_v into_o the_o stomach_n it_o be_v very_o near_o be_v consume_v it_o be_v very_o near_o the_o lose_n of_o its_o own_o nature_n that_o it_o may_v be_v turn_v into_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o body_n which_o be_v to_o be_v nourish_v thereby_o and_o even_o so_o when_o they_o that_o be_v join_v together_o in_o any_o near_a union_n upon_o the_o earth_n do_v bite_v and_o devour_v one_o another_o morral_o they_o be_v very_o near_o be_v consume_v one_o of_o another_o penal_o they_o be_v very_o near_o to_o common_a ruin_n one_o with_o another_o who_o through_o intestine_a division_n do_v meditate_v and_o promote_v the_o particular_a ruin_n one_o of_o another_o but_o now_o to_o look_v particular_o by_o way_n of_o explication_n first_o upon_o the_o supposition_n if_o you_o bite_v and_o devour_v one_o another_o and_o 1_o this_o bite_n be_v not_o that_o which_o be_v proper_a with_o the_o tooth_n which_o grow_v about_o the_o tongue_n and_o as_o the_o heathen_a witty_o conceit_v it_o garrul_a plut._n de_fw-fr garrul_a be_v vallum_n &_o

sharp_a sword_n where_o we_o must_v know_v that_o tongue_n and_o tooth_n do_v not_o import_v two_o thing_n but_o they_o do_v both_o figurative_o express_v the_o same_o thing_n even_o cut_v and_o pierce_a word_n whereby_o man_n do_v in_o the_o metaphor_n of_o my_o text_n bite_v and_o in_o the_o metaphor_n of_o the_o prophet_n wound_n and_o cut_v one_o another_o at_o any_o distance_n and_o thus_o the_o word_n bite_v be_v here_o to_o be_v understand_v for_o as_o it_o be_v apprehend_v that_o the_o venom_n of_o those_o hurtful_a creature_n snake_n and_o adder_n etc._n etc._n be_v in_o their_o tooth_n and_o that_o by_o they_o they_o do_v impoison_v those_o man_n and_o other_o live_v creature_n which_o be_v wound_v by_o they_o so_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o when_o a_o man_n prove_v

the_o venom_n of_o the_o heart_n from_o one_o unto_o another_o and_o wherewith_o man_n in_o the_o sense_n of_o my_o text_n bite_v one_o another_o be_v wound_a reproach_n and_o bitter_a pierce_a word_n which_o be_v utter_v by_o one_o against_o another_o and_o these_o tooth_n
