18 But as God is true, our word toward you was not yea and nay.



Ver. 18. Our word toward you, &c.] God’s children are all such as will not lie, say and unsay, blow hot and cold with a blast, Isa_63:8. Christianus est, non mentietur, He is a Christian, he will not lie, was an old proverb. Sophronins testifieth of Chrysostom, nunquam eum mentitum fuisse, that he was never taken in a lie.
