VERSE. 13. Salute Rufus chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine.
CHosen in the Lord: that is, a choice Christian and Pro∣fessor: not speaking here of his eternall Election. So Iohn writeth to the elect Lady, that is, who was a choyce Lady for godlinesse and vertue: as Chosen men of Israel note the worthiest of that kinde.
His Mother and mine. Our Country is our mother: So is Abel a Citie,
called a mother in Israel. Old women are mothers: so are benefactors; thus was Pharaohs Daugh∣ter a mother to Moses, thus was Rufus his mother, a mo∣ther to Paul: and Mothers, are parents which beare chil∣dren in their wombe, and bring them forth, and thus was Pauls mother a mother to Rufus.
A toward sonne is a credit to his mother, [Obser.] and a vertuous mother to a toward sonne. Blessed are the families where there are such rootes and such branches.
