John Trapp on 1 Timothy 6:12

Verſe 12. Fight the goodfight] Not only follow after the former graces, but fight for them, rather then fail of them.

Luy hold on eternall life[While others lay hold on wealth, honours, &c. Catch at the crown, which is hang'd up on high, as it were, and provided for conquerours only, that ſo fight as to finiſh, 2 Tim 4.7, 8. Tempus eſt nos de illa perpetua jaw, Cie. ad Attie. lib. 10. non de bac exigua vita cogiture, could the Heathen Oratour ſay. 'Tis high time now we ſhould think of heaven. Catch at the opportunity, as the eccho catcheth the voice.
