John Trapp on Matthew 21:35

Verse 35. Beat one, and killed another] This is the worlds wages; this is the measure Gods Ministers meet with from the sons of men: never have any, out of hell, suffered more then such. Persecution is, [illegible: 1 word] genius, saith Calvin, the evil Angel that dogs the Gospel at the heels. And, Praedicare nihil aliud est, quàm derivare in se [illegible: 1 word], &c. saith Luther. To preach faithfully is to get the ill will of all the world, and to subject a mans self to all kinde of deaths and dangers.
