Q. 21. Doth not Paul say, of all save Timothy, That All seek their own, and not the things that are Jesus Christ's?
A. He meaneth not that they predominantly do so, except those among them who were hypocrites: But that all did utoo much seek their own, and too little the things that are Jesus Christ's, and were •ot so self-denying as Timothy, who as it were naturally Cared for the good of the Church: As Degas forsook Paul in his suffering, and went after •is own worldly business; but yet did not forsake Christ and prefer the world before him (for ••ght we find of him.)
