John Trapp on Philippians 2:21

Verſe 21. For all ſeek their own] If it were ſo then, what wonder if now, as was ſo long ſince foretold, 2 Tim. 3.2. Self muſt be ſhouldred out, and Chriſts ſhare ſtudied more then out own: all private intereſts let fall, and all ſelf-reſpects drown[illegible: 2 letters] in the glory of God, and the publike good, or elſe we want that pious ingenuity that becometh Saints. It is ſaid of Cato, that he did.—toti genitum ſe credere mundo, Eucan. That the care of the community lay upon him. Timothy was of a choice and excellent ſpirit that naturally cared for the Churches welfare: Few ſuch now a-daies.
