John Trapp on 1 Thessalonians 5:22

Verſe 22. Abſtain from all, &c.] Whatſoever is heterodox, unſound and unſavoury, ſhun it as you would do a ſerpent in your way, or poiſon in your meats. Theodoſius tare the Arrians arguments preſented to him in writing, becauſe he found them repugnant to the Scriptures. And Auguſtine retracteth even ironies only, becauſe they had the appearance of lying. God commanded the Jews to abſtain from ſwines fleſh; they would not ſo much as name it,Etias Tibisbit. but in their common talk would call a ſow, dabhar, Achar, another thing.
