Ver. 16. John answered.

Whereas some hold that John knew the thoughts of their hearts, by the Revelation of the Spirit, for it is said onely before that they mused of the matter in their heart, and put it not to question, it is farre more probable, that John came to know this their thought, by some outward expression of their own. For among so great a multitude, when they were all in the same doubt and hesitation, it was impossible, but there would break out some whisperings, que∣stions, arguings, or other token of the generall conceit, that even a slow and dull apprehension might in short time have found it out.
