John Trapp on Matthew 27:32

Verse 32. They found a man of Cyrene] A stranger, coming out of the field towards Jerusalem, meets with an unexpected [illegible: 1 word], and follows Christ, which occasioned him to enquire into the cause, and got him renown among the Saints. In like sort, the faithfull Christian (a stranger upon earth) comes out of the field of this world, with his face set toward Sion; and meets with many crosses by the way. But all-while he follows Christ, let him enquire into the cause, and the issue shall be glorious. Him they compelled to bear his crosse] Not so much to ease Christ, who fainted under the burden, as to hasten the execution, and to keep him alive till he came to it. See the Note on Joh 19. 17.
