John Trapp on Revelation 5:9

Verſe 9. And they ſung] A generall joy in heaven and earth. Surely,2 Cor 4.[illegible: 1 letter]. it is a pleaſant thing to ſee the light: how much more to ſee the light of the knowledge of God in the face of Jeſus Chriſt? What a deal of triumph and exultation is here all the Church over upon the opening of this book, upon the receit of this Revelation? Should not this excite and kindle in our hearts a more earneſt deſire of underſtanding theſe myſteries? Oh I could finde in my heart ;to fall afreſh upon the ſtudy of the Revelation, had I ſtrength to do it, ſaid my Reverend old Maſter unto me, a little afore his death: Mr John Ballam I mean, Miniſter of the Word for many years at Eveſham, where I heard him (in my childehood) preaching many a ſweet Sermon upon the ſecond and third Chapters of this Book.

A new ſong] For the new work of redemption, beſides that old ſong, Chap. 4. for that of creation.

Out of every kindred] Let this be noted againſt the doctrine of univerſall Redemption, that's now again ſo violently cried up amongſt us.
