John Trapp on 2 Timothy 2:19

Verſe 19. Nevertheleſſe the foundation] viz. Of Gods election, which is here compared to a ſealed book: on the one ſide of the ſeal is written, The Lord knoweth them that are his. On the other ſide, And let every one that nameth, &c. This the Apoſtle ſetteth forth, for the better ſetling of ſuch as were ſhaken by the fall of Hymenaeus and Philetus, two ſuch forward profeſſ[illegible: 1 letter]urs.

The Lord knoweth them, &c.] In reſpect of the freeneſſe of his election, and immobility of his affection. Howbeit this knowledge that God hath of his, is carried ſecret, as a river under ground, till he cals and ſeparates us from the reſt.

That nameth the name of Chriſt] He may have an infallible ſeal of ſalvation that but nameth Chriſts name in praier, that can ſay no more then, Ah Father, deſiring and reſolving to depart from iniquity.
