John Trapp on 2 Corinthians 1:3

Verſe 3. The Father of mercies] Only it muſt be remembred, that as he is Pater miſerationum, ſo he is Deus ultionum, Pſal 94.1. As he hath ubera, ſo he hath verbera. Chriſt is girt about the paps with a golden girdle, to ſhew his love; but yet he hath eyes like flaming fire, and feet like burning braſſe, Rev. 1. to look thorow and keep under his enemies.

The God of all comfort] It is he that ſhines thorow the creature, which elſe is but as the air without light. It is he that comforteth by the means. It is not the Word alone; for that is but as the veins and arteries that convey the bloud and ſpirits: So the Spirit being convey'd by the promiſes, helpeth the ſoul to lay it ſelf upon Chriſt by faith, and ſo it is comforted. Sometimes comfort comes not by the uſe of the means till afterwards, that he may have the whole glory, Cant. 3. The Church found not him, whom her ſoul loved, till ſhe was a little paſt the watchmen. The ſoul is apt to hang her comforts on every hedge, to ſhift and ſhark in every by-corner for comfort. But as air lights not without the Sun, and as fuell heats not without fire, ſo neither can any thing ſoundly comfort us without God.
