John Trapp on 1 John 5:12

Verſe 12. Hath life] For he is the prince and principle of life: and all out of him are dead whiles they live. Non ille din vixit, ſed diu fuit, ſaith Seneca of one, Non multum navigavit, ſed multum jactatus eſt, of another at ſea, He was long, but he lived little, He was much toſſed, but not much furthered, He moved much, but removed not at all, as a horſe in a mill, as a dog in a wheel, &c. See the Note on Joh. 1.4.
