John Trapp on John 3:31-32

Verſe 31. He that commeth, &c.] Hitherto Chriſt hath been compared with John: In the reſt of the Chapter, he ſtands compared; Firſt, with all men. Secondly, with the faithfull, and infinitely preferred before them all. He is the chiefe of ten thouſand; Cant. 5.10. or the Standard-bearer, which ever are the goodlieſt.

Is earthy] Terra eſt, ſo Augustine renders it in the ſame ſenſe, as he is fleſh, verſ. 6. God will ſmite this earth with the rod of his mouth, Iſa. 11.6.

Speaketh of the earth] As Ducklings have alwayes their bills in the mud, as Swine are ever rooting in the mire.
