John Trapp on Matthew 20:21

Verse 21. What wilt thou?] We may not over-hastily ingage our selves by promise of this or that to our best friends, but hold off and deliberate. Alioqui saliens antequam videat, cafurus Bern. est [illegible: 1 word] debeat. The one on thy right hand] Quid voveat dulci nutricula [illegible: 1 word] Horat. alumno? Our Saviour had promised in the former chapter that the twelve should sit upon twelve thrones, &c. These mens suit was for the first and second seat. Self-love makes men ambitious, and [illegible: 1 word] them to turn the glasse to see themselves bigger, others lesser then they are, Paul on the contrary, was least of Saints, [illegible: 1 word] of Apostles.
