John Trapp on Hebrews 6:18

Verſe 18. We might have ſtrong] Such as ſwalloweth up all worldly griefs, as Moſes his ſerpent did the Sorcerers ſerpents, or as the ſire doth the fewell. the Sacraments are gods viſible oaths unto us: he taketh, as it Were, the body and bloud of his Son into his hand, and ſolemnly ſweareth to beſtow upon us all the purchaſe of Chriſts paſſion.Nche[illegible: 1 letter]. 8 10. Should not therefore the joy of the Lord be our ſtength? The comforts of Philoſophy are [non-Latin text not transcribed] (as Plato hath it, as Socrates found it, when he was to die) that is, toyes and trifles. Neſcio quomodò imbecillior est medicina quam morbus, ſaith Cicero, the diſeaſe is too hard for the medieme. But the conſolations of God are ſtrong in themſelves, and ſhould not be ſmall With us. Job 15.11.
