Commentarii in Epistolas D. Pauli ad Timoth. ad Titum, et ad Philem. facili et perspicua methodo conscripti. A D. Benedicto Aretio bernensi theologo. Cum indice rerum memorabilium quae in hisce conti

And because he found him faithful in the Christian profession, he had him as a companion for almost all his travels, or at least, when he himself was hindered, he used him as a legate to various churches, to such an extent that he himself appears to have performed the office of an Apostle.

From these things, one can gather something about his whole life. About his death, nothing certain can be gathered, although there are some who
