John Trapp on 2 Timothy 1:12

Verſe 12. I know whom I have [illegible: 1 letter]rusted] Here was not a faint hope, or a conjecturall confidence, but a plerophory of ſaith.Bernard. The reaſon where of is thus rendered by a Father, Quia in charitate nimia adoptavit me, quia verax in promiſſione, & potons in exhibitione, becauſe God who of his free grace hath adopted me, is both able and faithfull to fulfill his promiſes.Luth. apud Jo. Manliam. That was a notable ſpeech of Luther, Ipſe viderit ubi anima mea man ſura fit, qui pro caſic ſollicitus [illegible: 2 letters]it, ut vitam pro ea poſuerit. Let him that died for my ſoul, ſee to the ſalvation of it.

That which I have committed] A childe that hath any precious thing given him, cannot better ſecure it, then by putting it into his fathers hands to keep: ſo neither can we better provide for our ſouls ſafety, then by committing them to God. Aug de bo[illegible: 1 letter]o perſ[illegible: 1 letter]u [illegible: 1 letter]hap 6. Tutiores aurem vivimus, ſi totum D[illegible: 1 letter]o damus, non autem nos illi [illegible: 1 letter]x parte & nobis ex parte committimus. We ſhall be ſure to be ſafeſt, if we commit our ſelves wholly to God: and ſeek not to part ſtakes with him therein. The ſhip that is part in the water, and part an the mud, is ſoon beaten in pieces.
