John Trapp on Romans 4:3

Verſe 3. Abraham beleeved God] Latomus of Lovan was not aſhamed to write, That there was no other faith in Abraham, then what was in Cicero. Joh. Manlij loc. conc. p. 490. And yet our Saviour ſaith, Abraham ſaw my day, and rejoyced, ſo did Cicero never. Another wrote an apology for Cicero, and would needs prove him to have been a pious and penitent perſon, becauſe in one place he hath theſe words, Ibid. 481. Reprehendo peccata mea, quod Pompeio confiſus, ejuſ que par[illegible: 1 letter]es ſecutus ſuerim. A poor proof: Hoc argumentum tam facile diluitur, quàm vulpes comeſt pyrum.
