John Trapp on 1 Timothy 2:8

Verſe 8. Pray every where] Any place now (be it but a chimney) may make a goodly Oratory, Joh. 4 21.

Lifting up holy hands] Better waſhed then Pilates were, rinſed in that bleſſed fountain of Chriſts bloud, Zech. 13.1. Elſe, God utterly abhors them, Iſa. 1.15, 16. The Prieſts had their laver to waſh in, before they ſacrified. The Turks at this day before praier waſh both face and hands, ſometimes their head, and other parts of the body. But what ſaith S. James, chap. 4.8. and the Prophet Ieremy, chap 4.14. The fountain of goodnes will not be laden at, with foul hearts and hands.

Without Wrath] Or, Rancour, Mat. 5.24. God will not be ſerved, till men be reconciled. When Abram and Lot were agreed, then God appeared.

Or doubting] Heb. 11.6. Jam. 1.6. without diſceptation of reaſoning with carnall reaſon.
