John Trapp on 1 Peter 5:6

Verſe 6. Ʋnder the mighty hand of God] If God can blow us to deſtruction, Job 4.9. nod us to deſtruction, Pſal. 80.16. what is the weight of that mighty hand of his, that ſpans the heavens, and holds the earth in the hollow of them?

That he may exalt you] The lower the ebbe, the higher is the tide, A deluge of ſorrows may aſſault us, but they ſhall exalt us. And the lower the foundation of vertue is laid, the higher ſhall the roof of glory be over laid.

In due time] In the opportunity of time, in a fit ſeaſon. The very Turks, though remorſleſſe to thoſe that bear up, yet receive humiliation with much ſweetnes.
