John Trapp on Matthew 11:14

Verse 14. This is Elias.] Not the Thisbite, but yet the same that Malachy foretold should come in the spirit and power of [illegible: 1 word]. And surely, if we observe it, (as here Christ [illegible: 1 word] to the Iews, If ye will receive it) there is a wonderfull agreement between the times of Elias and Iohn Baptist, between Ahab and [illegible: 1 word], between Jezebel and Herodias, &c. The Iews also have a saying amongst them at this day, when they are puzzled in any point, Elias cum venerit, solvet omnia.
