John Trapp on John 20:6

Verſe 6. Following him, and went in] John came firſt, Peter entred firſt: Soft and fair goes far: Soft fire makes ſweet malt: Leap Chriſtians are not much to be liked; ſuch as quickly ſtep out of profaneneſſe into profeſſion. Hot at hand ſeldom holds out. The ſtony ground immediately received the ſeed with joy, [non-Latin text not transcribed]. Mat. 13. Prov 4 2[illegible: 1 letter]. Prov. 4.18. and ſtarted up ſuddenly: but the good ground brings forth fruit with patience or tarriance. Walk deliberately, and ponder the paths of thy feet, as Solomon bids. A Chriſtians progreſſe is as the ſun, which ſhines more and more to the perfect day: and as the Trumper in Mount Sion, Exod. 20. which ſounded louder and louder, till it was heard all the countrey over.
