Commenting on Titus 2:1-15
Against the corrupt teachers who peddled vain fables, Titus must speak what is pure and uncorrupt, healthful and nourishing to eternal life. Ministers must not stay in generals but divide to every one his portion, teaching all and each his particular duty according to age and station.

Commenting on Titus 2:1-10
Aged women who are godly ought to conduct themselves in dress, speech, and the whole of their behaviour as becomes women sanctified by the Spirit of God. They must teach good things in their homes privately, not the old wives' fables and filth handed down by the superstitious.
