John Trapp on John 20:27

Verſe 27. Then ſaith he to Thomas] Who was not excommunicated by the reſt, but gently born with, till Chriſt ſhould cure him. Neither did he forſake their meetings, though he believed not their relation. It is good to ſtand in Chriſts way, to be found at the foddering-place, Cant. 1.8. But ſome, like ſpirituall vagabonds, as Cain, excommunicate themſelves from Gods preſence, in the uſe of the means: we may write, Lord have mercy upon ſuch, as utterly deplored.
