John Trapp on Matthew 16:15

Verse 15. But whom say ye that I am?] q. d. It behoveth you to say something, that is, better to the purpose, [illegible: 1 word] the vulgar saith and censureth. God will take that of some that he will not of others. Christ would not have his to stand doubtfull, and to [illegible: 1 word] to nothing certainly: to be in religion as idle beggars are in their way, ready to go which way soever the staff [illegible: 1 word]: but to strive to a plerophory, a full assurance of knowledge, a certainty, as Luke hath it, chap. 1. 4. and to be [illegible: 1 word] perswaded, vers. 1. A conjecturall confidence, a generall faith, the Colliers faith, [illegible: 1 word] they call it, sufficeth not, To believe as the Church believes, &c. And yet Thomas Aquinas, that great Schoolman had no better a faith to support him at the last hour of his life: nor could he have any rest within, till he had taken up the Bible, and clipping it in his arms, said, Lord, I believe all that is written in this holy book.
