Ver. 9. See thou do it not] {See Trapp on "Rev_19:10"} This was a flat prohibition, not a merry repulse; as Lorinus and Veigas the Jesuits would have it.



For I am thy fellowservant] Wycliffe disallowed the invocation of saints and angels, when he called servants, not gods. For the wore knave, which he used, signified in those days servant, not as it doth in our days a wicked varlet, as his enemies maliciously interpret it; Bellarmine for one, a man utterly ignorant of the English tongue.
