John Trapp on 1 John 2:7

Verſe 7. I write no new commandment] The Apoſtle ſtudiouſly declineth the ſuſpition of novelty. We ſhould ever ſet a jealous eye upon that which is now, and ſtand in the old way, Jer. 6.16. in the ancient paths, Jer. 18.15. Gods people are called the ancient people, Iſa. 44.7. And Idolaters are ſaid to ſacrifice to new gods, that came newly up, Deut. 32.17. Truth, and wine, is better with age, Luke 5.39. And of witneſſes Ariſtotle well ſaith, [non-Latin text not transcribed]. the older they are, the more credible, becauſe leſſe corrupted.
