§. 185. Of this Name Timotheus.
The news that was sent, was concerning the delivery of Timothy. aTimotheus is a name that savoureth of much piety. bThe former part of the name signifieth precious, or glorious. cThe latter part of the name signifieth, God: So as the joining of them together may signify one precious, or glorious to God: or otherwise it may signify one to whom God was precious or glorious. It was a name that was given to many of the Heathens. It4 was the name of a great Conqueror at Athens: and of an Athenian Comedian: and of a Musician: and of an excellent Engraver: and of a skilful Grammarian. We read also of Timotheus a Captain of the host of the Heathen against the Jews, 1 Maccab. 5. 11.
