16 I say again, Let no man think me a fool; if otherwise, yet as a fool receive me, that I may boast myself a little. Ver. 16. Let no man think me ] There was never man, nor action, but was subject to variety of censures and misconstructions, foolish men daring to reprehend that which they do not comprehend.
