John Trapp on 2 Thessalonians 3:4

Verſe 4. That ye both do, and will do] Qui monet ut facia[illegible: 1 letter] quod jam facis, ille monendo laudat, &c. Here the Apoſtle, Oratour-like, entereth their boſoms: and by praiſing their preſent obedience, artificially wreſteth from them a redoubled diligence. Virtus laudata creſcit.
