The [Greek or Hebrew] or labour of Mary doth not appear to be in travel up and down with Paul, but rather in some diligent hospitality and service unto him; but whether in travel, or in her house, is not at all expressed in the Word: Sure it is Paul denieth the taking of a sister or wife up and down in travel, though he acknowledged it lawful to have taken a wife, 1 Cor. 9.5. but to have taken a sister along, to have travelled up and down the countries with him, may well be thought to be far from him, who was ever careful to follow things of good report, and to provide for things honest, not only in the sight of God, but of all men. The labours of Tryphena ⟨p. 23⟩and Tryphosa, and Persis, do not imply travelling up and down, but rather their own wrestlings with spiritual conflicts, either in their own hearts, or else with other conflicting Christians in the places where they dwell, to settle them in the peace of the Lord Jesus, according to the same sense of the word, Mat. 11.28.
