John Trapp on Matthew 9:18

Verse 18. Behold, there came a certain Ruler.] Jairus the [illegible: 1 word] of the [illegible: 1 word]. [illegible: 1 word] such came to Christ: but this man was [illegible: 2 words] of doors by the crosse, as the wolf is out of the wood by hard hunger. It was his only daughter of a [illegible: 1 word]-year [illegible: 1 word], that was now at point of death. This makes him [illegible: 1 word] out to [illegible: 1 word]. 8. 41. Christ the best Physitian. Men must be [illegible: 2 words] ([illegible: 1 word]) ere they finde mercy (Hos. 14. 3.) and a [illegible: 2 words] people ere they will be brought to trust in the name of the Lord, Zeph. 3. 12. The Haemorroisse came not to Christ, [illegible: 1 word] she had a half-peny to [illegible: 1 word] her self. But come and lay thine hands upon her.] He thought Christ could not otherwise cure her: this was [illegible: 1 word] of faith, far short of that of the Centurion, who yet was a Roman souldier; whereas Jairus was a learned Jew. Knowledge therefore is one thing, faith [illegible: 1 word]: and the greatest scholars, are not alwaies the holiest men. Neither have all Gods people a like measure of true faith. This should humble and [illegible: 1 word] the weak, but not discourage them in their [illegible: 1 word]: since the tallest Oak was once an [illegible: 1 word], and the deepest Doctour was once in his hornbook.
