John Trapp on 2 Timothy 2:21

Verſe 21. Purge himſelf from theſe] From theſe ſeducers, or arch-heretikes, thoſe veſſels of diſhonour, whoſe doctrine defileth worſe then any kitchin ſtuff, or leproſie.

He ſhall be a veſſel, &c.] You know (ſaid John Careleſſe, Act. and Mon [illegible: 1 letter]ol. 1743. the Martyr in a letter to Mr Philpot) that the veſſel before it be made bright, is ſoiled with oil, and many other things, that in may ſcour the better. O happy be you that you be now in this ſcouring houſe: for ſhortly you ſhall be ſet upon the celeſtiall ſhelf, as bright as Angels, &c.
