John Trapp on 2 Timothy 1:5

Verſe 5. In thy Grandmother Lois, and mother] A ſweet happine[illegible: 2 letters]e to any childe to have a good mother and grandmother. For theſe have great opportunity of dropping good things into their little Lemuels, as being much about them. The mothers of the Kings of Judah are conſtantly mentioned: and as they were good or evil, ſo were their children Partus ſequitur ventrem. The birth follows the belly.
