John Trapp on 2 Timothy 1:6

Verſe 6. Stirre up the gift] Blow up thy ſmaller ſpark into a flame. Grace in us is like a dull ſea-cole fire (ſaith one) which if not now and then blown and ſtirred up, though there be no want of fuell, [non-Latin text not transcribed]. yet will of it ſelf at length die and go out. The word here uſed by the Apoſtle is Plato's word. The Apoſtle ſeems to have bin well read in Plato's writings.
