John Trapp on John 4:16

Verſe 16. Go call thy husband] It was a great favour in Chriſt to receive that ſinfull woman, that waſhed his feet with her tears, and wiped them with her hair, and not to kick her out of his preſence, as the Phariſees expected. How much greater is this, to fetch in an idolatrous harlotry that fled from him, to entertain her that lad rejected him? [non-Latin text not transcribed]. 1 Tim. 1.14. &c. Well might St. Paul ſay, that the grace of our Lord, is exceeding abundant, or doth abound to flowing over, as the ſea eaſily over-floweth mole-hils.
