Matthew Poole and continuators on Acts 16:3

3 Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and took and circumcised him, because of the Jews which were in those quarters: For they knew all that his father was a Greek.

Timothy was un [illegible: 1 letter]ircumcised, altho his Mother was a Iewess; for according [illegible: 1 word] their Thalmudists, the Mother could not cause her Child to be Circumcised against the mind of the Father.

Who could not yet be perswaded that the Law of Circumcision was abrogated. Paul who became all things to all Men (that he might save some) Circumcised Timothy that he might not offend the Iewish Converts, 1 Cor. 9.22. but would not Circumcise Titus, Gal. 2.3. lest that he should harden them, and offend the Gentiles. These indifferent things require a single Eye, to the Edifying of the Church, and the Salvation of Souls.
