John Trapp on Ephesians 4:1

CHAP. IV. Verſe 1. Worthy of the vocation]

THere is a [non-Latin text not transcribed], a ſeemlineſſe appertaining to each calling: ſo here. We muſt walk nobly and comfortably, as becometh the heirs of God, an co-heirs of Chriſt. Scipio, when a harlot was offered him, anſwered, Vellem, ſi non eſſem Imperator; I would, if I were not Generall of the Army. Antigonus being invited to a place where a notable harlot was to be preſent, asked counſell of Menedemus, what he ſhould do? He bad him only remember that he was a Kings ſonne: So let men remember their high and heavenly calling, and do nothing unworthy of it. Luth. in Gen. Luther counſels men to anſwer all temptations of Satan with this only, Chriſtianus ſum, I am a Chriſtian.
