John Trapp on Matthew 8:18

Verse 18. To depart unto the other side] Either to retire, and repose himself after much pains (for Quod caret, alterna requie, Levandi [illegible: 1 word] sut causa voluores [illegible: 1 word] ac liberè volitant. Cicero. 2. de [illegible: 1 word]. &c. the very birds, when building their nests, flee abroad sometimes from their work, for recreations sake.) Or else the better to edge the peoples desires after him, now withdrawn. Luther gave this rule to Preachers, for moderating their discourses. When thou seest thine hearers most attentive, then conclude; for so they will [illegible: 1 word] vides [illegible: 2 words] populum, [illegible: 1 word]: eo [illegible: 2 words]. Luth. come again more chearfully the next time.
