John Trapp on Isaiah 11:9

Ver. 9. None ſhall hurt] Here the foregoing Allegory is fully explained. In Gods Holy Mountain, that is, in the Church, there ſhall be an holy harmleſneſs, and a ſweet Harmony of hearts: The word amongſt them ſhall be this, Beloved, if God ſo loved us, we ought alſo to love one another, 1 John 4 11. Some differences and jarrs there may fall out among the beſt, as did betwixt Paul and Barnabas, Hierom and Auſtin, Luther and Zuinglius: but theſe laſt not long; at utmoſt but till they come to Heaven: and the ground of ſuch a diſtemper, is, that we know but in part, and therefore love but in part, 1 Cor. 13. O pray for that bleſſed ſight, Eph. 1.17, 18. and for a fuller comprehenſion of thoſe ſeveral dimenſions, Eph. 3.18. that the earth may be full of the Knowledge of the Lord.

As the waters cover the ſea] i e. The boſom and bottom of it, that Gods Word may dwell richly in us in all wiſdom, and that the knowledge we have of it may be a transforming knowledge, 2 Cor. 3.18. Two or three words of Gods mouth hid in the heart, and there mingled with faith, work ſuch an evident and entire change in a man (ſaith Lactantius) that you can hardly know him to be the ſame.Lactant. Inſtit. lib. 3. cap. 86. Da mihi virum qui ſit iracundus, maledicus, effraenatus, pauciſſimis Dei verbis tam placidum quam ovem reddam. Da cupidum, avarum, tenacem, &c. Give me a man that is angry, ill-ſpoken, unruly; with a few words of Almighty God, Ile make him as meek as a Lamb. Give me one that is covetous, an oppreſſive hold-faſt, a very Nabal, Ile make him a Nadib, of a covetous carle a liberal perſon, of a Viper a child, of a leacher a chaſt man, &c. Lo this is the fruit of the ſound and ſaving Knowledge of God, and of his Word, of our ſelves and of our duties.
