John Trapp on 2 Peter 3:16

Verſe 16. Wreſt as they doe. &c.] When we ſtrive to give unto to the Scripture, and not to receive from it the ſenſe: when we factiouſly contend to faſten our conceits on God, like the harlot, take our dead and putrified fancies, and lay them in the boſome of the Scriptures, as of a mother, when we compell them to go two miles, which of themſelves would go but one, when we put words into the mouths of theſe oracles by miſ-inferences or miſ▪applications, then are we guilty of this ſin of wreſting the Scriptures.Cadem Scripturarum faci [illegible: 2 letters]s. Tertullian ſpeaketh of ſome that murther the Scriptures to ſerve their own purpoſes.
