John Trapp on John 11:19

Verſe 19. To comfort them] A pious office, and yet never thought of by the ſuperſtitious Papiſts, amidſt all thoſe vain fopperies they preſcribe to be done about the dead. Only, what the Ancients uſed for the comfort of the living, is perverted by them to the pretended ſervice and helpe of the dead.
