John Trapp on Matthew 14:31

Verse 31. O thou of little faith, &c.] Thou petty-fidian, [illegible: 1 word]; Christ chides Peter, and yet helps him. Involuntary failings, unavoidable infirmities discard us not: as robberies done by Pirats of either Nation, break not the league between Princes: as [illegible: 3 words] not the marriage-[illegible: 1 word]. Christ knew us well before he took us, yet took us for better, for worse. 2. He hates putting away, Mal. 2. 16. and herein, as he is above law, so his mercy is matchlesse. Jer. 3. 1. Jehoshuah the High-Priest, though he was so ill-clothed, yet he stood before the Angel, Zech. 3. 3. Much will be born with where the fault is of passion meerly, or of [illegible: 1 word] and inadvertency, as here.
