Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man.

Receive us. Embrace us with the arms of love, as with all our heart we do you (Theophylact). Cf. vi11-13. Strictly, the Greek denotes "make a place for us"—a large place in your hearts. Maldonatus (Not. Manusc.) renders the words. "Bear with me if I have praised myself over-much."
We have defrauded no man. We have obtained no man"s goods, either by violence or fraud. Cf. ii11.
