John Trapp on 1 John 3:15

Verſe 15. Whoſoever hateth his brother] Not to love then is to hate, as not to ſave a man is to kill him, Mark 3.4.

Is a murtherer] Becauſe he wiſheth him out of the world, as Caracalla did his brother Geta, of whom he ſaid, Divus ſit, mod[illegible: 1 letter] non ſit vivus, I would he were in heaven or any where, ſo that I were rid of him. By like reaſon we may ſay that ſin is God-murther: foraſmuch as ſinners are God-haters, Rom. 1.30. and could wiſh there were no God, that they might never come to judgement. The godly man on the contrary cries out with David, Vivat Deus, Let the Lord live, and bleſſed be the God of my ſalvation, &c. Pſ. 18 46.
