John Trapp on Job 32:21

Verſe 21. Let me not, I pray you, accept any mans perſon] q.d. This leave you muſt give me, or at leaſt wiſe I muſt take it, ſith my life lyeth upon it to be impartial and plain-dealing, laying the blame where it lights, and ſparing the paines of pleaſing and Paraſitical Poems of oratorical, and rhetorical inſinuations. Nihil loquar ad gratiam, &c. I ſhall know no man after the fleſh in this buſineſſe, nor look on any face. If Job found this fault with his other three friends, chap. 13.7. he ſhall have no cauſe ſo to do with me: but as a right Moderatour, I will hear Arguments ſpeak, and not perſons; I will ſhut out my friend, or my ſeniour, and ſpeak the truth in love. Diem hominis non deſideravi, ſaith Jeremy, chap. 17. And if I yet pleaſe men, I am no more the ſervant of Chriſt, Gal. 1.10. See the Note there.

Neither let me give flattering Titles] Praenomen aut cognomen, thoſe that ſeeme to be ſomewhat, whatſoever they be, it ſhall make no matter to me; God accepteth no mans perſon, Gal. 2.6. I ſhall call a ſpade, a ſpade, tell every one their owne without circumlocution, and not ſooth or ſmooth up any man (though never ſo great) in his ſinful practices. Semper Auguſtus, In v[illegible: 2 letters]a Alp[illegible: 1 letter]on is a Title ſtill given to the Germane Emperours: But Sigiſmund, once Emperour (when a fellow flattered him above meaſure, and extolled him to the Skies) gave the Flatterer a good box on the eare, and when he asked, Why ſwi[illegible: 2 letters] you me? He anſwered, Why claweſt thou me?
