John Trapp on Matthew 14:27

Verse 27. But straightway Iesus spake, &c.] He waits to be Isa. 30. 18. gracious: Our extremity is his opportunity. Cum duplicantur lateres venit Moses. God brings his people to the mount with Abraham, yea to the very brow of the hill, till their feet slip, and then delivers them: when all is given up for lost, then comes he in, [non-Latin text not transcribed]. as out of an engine. It is I, fear not.] Quid timet homo in sinu Dei positus? A childe that is in his fathers bosome, fears no bugbears.
