- Colossians 2:8 He bringeth all corruptions to three kinds: The first is that, which resteth of vain and curious speculations, and yet beareth a show of a certain subtle wisdom.
- Colossians 2:8 This is a word of war, and it is as much as to drive or carry away a spoil or booty.
- Colossians 2:8 The second which is manifestly superstitious and vain, and standeth only upon custom and fained inspirations.
- Colossians 2:8 The third kind was of them which joined the rudiments of the world, (that is to say, the ceremonies of the Law) with the Gospel.
- Colossians 2:8 Principles and rulers, wherewith God ruled his Church, as it were under a schoolmaster.
- Colossians 2:8 A general confutation of all corruptions is this, that that must needs be a false religion, which addeth anything to Christ.
