John Trapp on Mark 9:24-28

Verse 24. I beleeve] This act of his in putting forth his faith to beleeve as hee could, was the way to beleeve as hee would. Help thou mine unbeleefe] That is, my weak faith, which hee counteth no better then unbeleef: howbeit, God counts the preparation of the heart to beleeve, faith: as in those Samaritanes Joh. 4. Doctor Cruuger cryed out on his death-bed, Credo languidà Selnever. [illegible: 1 word]. fide, sed tamen fide. Much faith will yeeld unto us here our heaven: and any faith, if true, will yeeld us heaven hereafter.
