They zealoufly affebí you, (ayes he Gal.ç.1 y, he confeffes they did affect the Galatians, and he confeffes they did highly affect them, in a very high mea- fure, if it had been as well, as it was high : they zealoufly affeétyou, that is, they highly affedyou. Clavafsus a Ca- fuiff for the Pope, having-run through all the Alphabet of queftions, in the end of his Book concludeth with zeal. Zeal, (ayes he, is a high meafure of heat of affeétion, filch an one, fayes he, as I have (hewn unto Chrift in writing this Book.
