John Trapp on Matthew 24:18

Verse 18. Return back to take his clothes] The body is [illegible: 1 word] Heu [illegible: 1 word] nate Dea. then raiment: And although there is great use of clothes, in flight especially, to save us from the injury of winde and weather (for Host [illegible: 2 words] muros, &c. we carry the lamps of our lives in [illegible: 1 word], [illegible: 1 word] it were) yet life for a prey (though we have nothing else) in a common calamity is a singular mercy. A living dog is better then a dead lion, saith Solomon. The Gibeonites, to save their lives, submitted to the meanest offices of being hewers of wood, &c. Skin for skin, &c. Iob 2. 4. We should be content to sacrifice all to the service of our lives.
