John Trapp on Philippians 4:5

Verſe 5. Let your moderation] Or equality, ſuch as was that of David, Pſal 26.12. The ſcales of his minde hung equall, giving him liberty in all occurrences to enjoy himſelf. All immoderations are enemies to he[illegible: 2 letters]th:Hippocrates. ſo they are alſo to the quietneſſe of the minde. Againſt theſe (as againſt poiſons) there be two kindes of antidotes, praier and patience, the one hot, the other cold, the one quenching, the other quickning. The word here uſed by the Apoſtle properly ſignifieth moderation in law-buſineſſes, or in laying claim to a mans own right, [non-Latin text not transcribed] [illegible: 1 span] c. lib. 5 cap. 10. Summ[illegible: 2 letters] [illegible: 1 word] ſumma i[illegible: 2 letters]uria. the preferring of equity before extremity, as holding utmoſt right to be utmoſt wrong. Austin tels us, That is was grown to a Proverb among his Countrey-men, Ʋt habeas quietum tempus, perde aliquid. For a quiet life, part with ſome part of thy right, as Abraham did, Gen. 13.9.

The Lord is at hand] To right you, and recompenſe you, to pay you for all your pains and patience, Iudex pro foribus, ſaith S. James. chap. 5.9.
