Verse 37. And he took with him Peter, &c.]

Let no man en∣vy others their better parts or places; sith they have them on no other condition, but to be put upon greater temptations, hotter services. If we could wish another mans honour, when we feel the weight of his cares, as David once did of Sauls armour,

And very heavy]

To faint, or fall away in his soul, to be out* 1.1 of the world, as we say, He sitteth alone, and keepeth silence, be∣cause he hath born it upon him, Lam. 3. 28.
