1 Timothy5:23
Verſe 23. Drink no longer water] Timothy living among the luxurious Epheſians, was ſo abſtemious, that the Apoſtle is fain to preſcribe him pbyſick. Hypocrites will be chaſt only in the mountains where are no women, and ſober in Scythia where are no vines: but Lot was chaſt in the midſt of Sodome; and Anacbarſis temperate among the debauched Athenians. The faithfull in the world are like a pearl in puddle; they loſe nothing of their vertue. though amidſt the vicious.
