John Trapp on Matthew 27:19

Verse 19. [illegible: 1 word] wife sent unto him] There are that think that this womans dream was of the devil: thereby to have hindered the work of redemption by this composition. Satan and his agents, when they cannot conquer, would fain compound. [illegible: 1 word] will have it to be a divine dream, because it was sent, say they, Opus providenliae Dei: non ut solveretur Christus, sed ut [illegible: 1 word] uxor. Theophylact. for the better clearing of Christs innocency, even whiles he stood at the bar: yea for the salvation of this womans soul, as Theophylact is of opinion.
