Commentarius in hunc versum  

By Alexander Payne

Verse 4. After that the Lord has destroyed the love of self, the chief of evils which dwell in the natural affections, as far as it opposes the commencement of the regenerate life, and the love of the world which bears rule in the unregenerate mind and has its seat in the fallacies and pleasures of the senses.
