John Trapp on Hebrews 11:33

Verſe 33. Wrought righteouſneſſe] Civil and military, ſpiritualized by faith, and heightned to its full worth.

Obtained promiſes] Faith winds it ſelf into the promiſes, and makes benefit thereof. A Bee can ſuck honey out of a [illegible: 1 letter]lower: ſo cannot a Flie doe. Faith will extract abundance of comfort in moſt deſperate diſtreſſes out of the precious promiſes, and gather one contrary out of another, honey out of the rock, &c. Deut. 32.36.
