John Trapp on Philippians 4:11

Verſe 11. In respect of want] The wicked in the fulneſſe of his ſufficiency is in ſtraits, Job 20.22. Contrariwiſe, the godly man in the midſt of his ſtraits is in a ſufficiency. He hath all things, as having the haver of all things.

For I have learned] In Chriſts ſchool: for Nature teacheth no ſuch leſſon.

Optat ephippia bos piger, optat arare caballus. Horat. The labourers were not content with their peny Mat. 20.13. They that have enough to ſinke them, yet have not enough to ſatisfie them: as a ſhip may be over-laden with gold and ſilver, even unto ſinking, and yet have compaſſe and ſides enough to hold ten times more. It is God only that fils the heart, and maketh a man ſay truly with Jacob, and not fainedly, Rabb-li. Col li. Gen 13.9. Gen, 33.11. as Eſau, I have enough my brother. Eſau had a deale, but Jacob had All, becauſe he had the God of all.
