John Trapp on Isaiah 11:6

Ver. 6. The Wolf alſo ſhall dwell with the Lamb] Not worrying as he was wont, but made tame and tractable. Lo, ſuch a bleſſed change is wrought in all true Converts, as is to be ſeen in Paul, that Wolf of the Tribe of Benjamin propheſied of by Jacob, Sleidan. l. 21. pag. 650. Bucholc. Anno. 1548. Act. & Mon. 919. Fullers Church-Hiſt. Fol. 405. Gen. 49.27. as ſome hold. And the like may be ſaid of Petrus Paulus Vergerius, once the Popes Nuntio, but afterwards a great Preacher of the Goſpel. Hugh Latimer once as obſtinate a Papiſt as any was in England (they are his own words) but converted by bleſſed Bilney (as he called him uſually) he became a zealous promoter of the truth according to godlineſs, Confeſſor general to all Proteſtants troubled in mind, and the Treaſury into which reſtored ill-gotten goods were caſt, to be beſtowed on the poor acording to his diſcretior.

And the Leopard ſhall lie down with the Kid] As they did at the Creation, and afterward in Noahs Ark, all bloodineſs and rapine laid aſide. Thoſe that love not one another out of a pure heart fervently, but are filled with envy, malice, debate, deceit, malignity, are none of Chriſts ſubjects, nor fellow Citizens with the Saints.

And a little child ſhall lead them] That is, the child Jeſus (ſay ſome Interpreters) by the conduct of his Holy Spirit: or the Apoſtles and other godly Miniſters, who were counted but as little children to the Phariſees and Philoſophers, called the Grandees and Princes of this world, 1 Cor. 2.8. But they do beſt that underſtand it of ſuch a tractableneſs and teachableneſs in Chriſtians, Ʋt vel ex puero, h. e. ex inopi & ſimplici quovis. Sculter. that they can be content to learn of any one, though never ſo mean, that can better inform them. See this in Apollos, Act. 18.26. Auguſtine, as himſelf witneſſeth thus in one of his Epiſtles, En adſum ſenex à juvene cöepiſcopo, Epiſcopus tot annorum à collega nondum anniculo paratus ſum diſcere, I am here an old man ready to learn from a yong man my Coadjutor in the Miniſtery; and ſo old a Biſhop, from one who hath ſcarce been a year in the ſervice. [non-Latin text not transcribed]. Hippocrates adviſeth men not to ſlack or diſdain to learn even of thoſe who are counted Ideots.
