3 John 1:13

13 I had many things to write, but I will not with ink and pen write unto thee:

Ver. 13. I will not with ink ] In vain is the word written in books, unless it be also written in our hearts, Jeremiah 31:33 .

With paper ] Which was of old made of a certain plant of Nile called Papyrus, but now it is made of rags, miro ingenio, et utili rebus mortalium, to the great benefit of mankind. (Aretius.)
