John Trapp on James 4:6

Verſe 6. But he giveth] Or, It, that is, The Scripture giveth, &c. transforming us into the ſame image, and conforming us to the heavenly patern by the ſpirit that breatheth in it. [non-Latin text not transcribed].

God reſiſteth the proud] Gr. Setteth himſelf in Battle-array againſt ſuch, above all other ſorts of ſinners, as invaders of his territories, and forragers or plunderers of his chief treaſures. Pray therefore to be preſerved from the perilous pinalce of ſelf-exaltation: God defieth ſuch as deifie themſelves; the knoweth them afar off, Pſ. 138.6, he cannot abide the ſight of them.

But giveth grace to the humble] Humility is both a grace, and a veſſel to receive grace. God poureth the oil of his grace into broken veſſels, contrite ſpirits.
