Verse 7
7 Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?
Ver. 7. Ye did run well ] Why do ye now stop or step back? Tutius recurrere quam male currere, was the Emperor Philip’s symbol. (Reusner Symb.) Better run back than run amiss; for in this case, "He that hasteth with his feet, sinneth," Proverbs 19:2 . But to run well till a man sweats, and then to sit down and take cold, may cause a consumption.
Who did let you? ] Gr. "Threw a block in your way," εγκοπτειν , transversum aliquid struere.
