John Trapp on Matthew 20:33

Verse 33. Lord, that our eyes might be opened] Truely the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun, [illegible: 1 word]. 11. 7, And yet how little is this mercy [illegible: 1 word], because common. Our corrupt natures heed nothing that we enjoy, as the eye seeth nothing that lies on it: but things at a distance it discerns clearly. Bona a tergo formosissima. Copy of good things breeds satiety, and makes them no dainties, till God for our folly many times makes us see the worth of them by the want of them, and so commends and indears his favours to us. But what a blindnesse is this, worse then that of Bartimeus, never to see the face, but the back only of benefits?
