John Trapp on John 8:31

Verſe 31. If ye continue in my Word] Non quaeruntur in Christianis initia, ſed finis, ſaith Hierome. [non-Latin text not transcribed]. Ba[illegible: 2 letters]l. And that which is but almoſt done, is not done ſaith Baſil. It is the evening that crowns the day, and the laſt act that commends the whole ſcene. Temporaries flaſhings, are but like Conduits running with wine at the Coronation, that will not hold: or like a Land-flood, [illegible: 1 word] ſeems to be a great ſea, but comes to nothing.
