John Trapp on John 15:13

Verſe 13. Greater love then this, &c.] Of any ſuch love, but in Chriſt, we ſhall hardly read. David in a paſſion may wiſh, Would God I had died for thee: but in cold bloud I doubt whether he would have done it. A certain Citizen of Toledo, B. Fulg [illegible: 1 letter]. 1. being condemned to die, his ſon ceaſed not by prayers and tears to entreat that he might die for his Father; which accordingly he did: but this is rare, for life is ſweet, and love is cold in this caſe. Every man is his own next-neighbour.
