26 Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.



Ver. 26. We have eaten and drunk, &c.] These pretenders to Christ perish by catching at their own catch, hanging on their own fancy, making a bridge of their own shadow, &c.; they verily believe that Christ is their sweet Saviour, &c., when it is no such matter; they trust to Christ, as the apricot tree that leans against the wall, but is fast rooted in the earth: so are these in the world, &c.



We have eaten and drunk in thy presence] Even at thy table, but it became a snare to them.
