John Trapp on Proverbs 22:21

Verſ. 21. That I might make thee know the certainty] And ſo finde firm footing for thy faith, Luke 1.3, 5. Theſe words of God are true, ſaith the Angel, Rev. 21.9. Theſe words are faithful and true, Rev. 22.24. void of all inſincerity and falſhood. How can it bee otherwiſe, when as they are, as Gregory ſpeaks, Cor & animae, the very heart and ſoul of the God of truth?Greg. in Reg. 3. there muſt needs bee a certainty in theſe words of truth, neither need wee hang in ſuſpence. When ſome took Chriſt for John Baptiſt, ſome for Elias, Mat. 16. ſome for Jeremias; But whom ſay yee that I am? to teach that Chriſt would not have men ſtand doubtful, halt between two, bee in Religion as beggers are in their way, ready to go which way ſoever the ſtaff falleth; but to ſearch the Scriptures, and grounding thereon, to get a certainty, a full aſſurance of underderſtanding, Col. 2.2. ſo as to bee able to ſay, Wee have beleeved, therefore have wee ſpoken, 2 Cor. 4.13.
