Mark 10

Mark 10:3

MOses,] Christ hath a relation to the seventh Commandement, of not committing idultery, against which they sinned, who broke off lawfull mariages by unlawfull divorces.

Mark 10:11

Put away,] that divorceth himselfe from her, unlesse it be for adultery, Matthew 19:9.

Mark 10:12

If a woman,] the law of God makes no mention of divorces undertaken by women: a thing which was unheard of amongst the people of God, and contrary to all modestie yet in those dayes it was used in imitation of the Romans and Grecians. See upon 1 Timothy 5:9.

Mark 10:15

Shall not,] shall not submit himselfe by obedience of faith to the Gospell, thorow which God re-establisheth his kingdome amongst men, and mketh them partakers of the good things thereof As a little,] laying aside all pride, malice, presumption of carnall wisdome, and putting on the true humility, docility, simplicity, and innocency which is in little children. Se Psal. 131. 2. Matthew 18:3.

Mark 10:21

Loved hm,] he shewed him some signes of favour, as congratulating with him for this outward and disciplinary holinesse; not any way approving of his pride and hypocrisie, nor being contented with this outward bark of action. Neither that he dissembled against his thought; but in a kinde of gracefull contempt of his vanity.

Mark 10:32

Amazed,] by reason of his frequent predictions; by which he foretold his aproaching, sufferings, and death in Ierusalem, whther they saw him going.

Mark 10:42

Which are accounted] the Italian, that account themselves,] who though they ought to acknowledge themselves to be Gods servants, for the good & profit of their people, do attribute unto themselves thorow immoderate presumption an absolute power over them, 1 Samuel 18:11. Others which are accounted, &c. that is to say, whose sovereignty is only in the false figure and appearance of the world; and not in truth, which is only in the kingdome of God.

Mark 10:46

As he went out,] Saint Luke saith, hat this hapned at his comming thither, and not at his departure; and S. Matthew speaks of two blinde men. But this may be reconciled, saying, that the Lord staid some time in Iericho, going out and comming in again; & that at one time being gon out, comming in againe he met with two blinde men, whereof this. Bartimeus was of most note.
