John Trapp on Matthew 16:13

Verse 13. Whom do men say that I, &c.] This Question Christ asked, not as tickled with ambition to hear his own commendation [non-Latin text not transcribed] Xenopbon. (which yet is held and said to be the only sweet hearing) but as taking occasion to make way for their Christian confession, and likewise for their further information. The sonne of man am?] So he was called. 1. Because a true man. 2. Because he passed for no more then an ordinary man. How can this man give us his flesh to [illegible: 1 word]? Joh. 6. 3. Because as man born of a woman, he was of few daies and full of trouble: yea, he was the man that had seen affliction by the rod of Gods wrath.
