The "murth'ring boy" introduced in line 2 of Sir Philip Sidney's Sonnet 20 is Cupid, the god of love who is often depicted as a mischievous figure causing people to fall in love against their will. He is described as the "bad guest" at line 11 because, like an uninvited guest, his presence and actions can disrupt and cause chaos in people's lives.

Was Philip a deciple?

Scripturally, there is no reason to think they are the same person.The very purpose of choosing men to be deacons was so that the apostles could devote themselves to "the word of God" rather than "serving tables" (Acts 6:2). It's quite a stretch to imagine the apostle Philip "stepping down" from the apostleship into the role of deacon and itinerant evangelist.Also, as the deacons are introduced by name in Acts 6:5, Stephen is prominent, then Philip and the others. If Philip were the apostle, he would be prominent. Also, the manner of presentation is clear that these men are being newly introduced to scripture.In the following verse, the seven are "set before the apostles" to be commissioned. There's a clear distinction between the apostles and the deacons which further denies that Philip the apostle and Philip the deacon are the same person. All evidence is that they were two different men.
