John Trapp on Revelation 3:18

Verſe 18. I counſell thee] Having firſt convinced thee, verſ. 17. who before wert uncounſellable. The Gibeonites ſent not for Joſhua till beſieged. The Gileadites ſought not after Jephthah till diſtreſſed: nor will men hearken after Chriſt, till driven out of themſelves.

To buy of me] Buy the truth and ſell it not. Make a thorow ſale of ſin and all (with the wiſe Merchant) to purchaſe Chriſt the pearl of price, for whom S. Paul (that great trader both by ſea and land, 2 Cor. 11.23, 25, 26) counted all but dung and dogsmeat, Phil. 3.7, 8. Diogenes taxed the folly of the men of his times (may not we the men of ours?) Quòdres pretioſas minimo emerent, venderent que viliſſimas plurimo, that they undervalued the beſt things, but overvalued the worſt.

Gold tried in the fire] Precious faith, 1 Pet. 1.7.

White raiment] The righteouſneſſes of the Saints, that of juſtification, and the other of ſanctification.

Eye-ſalve] That unction, 1 Joh. 2.20. Light and ſight, the ſaving knowledge of heavenly myſteries.
