Verse 15. Then went the 〈◊〉〈◊〉]

They 〈◊〉〈◊〉, as one saith, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 & repuncti, minimè 〈◊〉〈◊〉 ad resipiscentiam compuncti. They were stung with the former parables, and grew more enraged. It is a 〈◊〉〈◊〉 perswasion for any godly man to think, by any discretion 〈◊〉〈◊〉 to still and escape the clamours and hates of wicked 〈◊〉〈◊〉: Christ himself could not do it.

How they 〈◊〉〈◊〉 intangle him in his talk]

As beasts are in the* 1.1 〈◊〉〈◊〉 toil, or birds in the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 net. Every man hunteth* 1.2 his brother with a net, was an old complaint, Mica. 7. 2. And, They 〈◊〉〈◊〉 a man an 〈◊〉〈◊〉 for a 〈◊〉〈◊〉, and lay a 〈◊〉〈◊〉 for 〈◊〉〈◊〉 that 〈◊〉〈◊〉 in the gate, &c. Isa. 29. 21. Doctour 〈◊〉〈◊〉 rule to know an 〈◊〉〈◊〉 was, They will say, The Lord, and, We praise God, and, The living God. So, The Lord, and not to say, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Lord, is called by Steven Gardiner, Symbolum 〈◊〉〈◊〉, the heretikes badge. But God will take these wisards in their own craft, 1 Cor. 3. 19. he will catch them in their own 〈◊〉〈◊〉.* 1.3 he will over-shoot them in their own bow, he will take 〈◊〉〈◊〉 handfull of them, so that they shall not make escape, as the word there signifies.
