[They were troubled.]
But this was far from Christs end, he came to help them, and not to terrify them, to relieve them, not to disquiet them; how came it to pass that they were troubled? Certainly they were not afraid of deliverance, that was that which they desired; but they were terrified at the manner of Christs coming to deliver them.

Doct. Christ may come to help his people in such a way, as yet the very means of help may be a terror to them. I say, Christ may come in such a way to deliver his people, as yet the appearance of Christ may be a terror to them. It is the speech of one upon this, yChrist is coming here to help them, and yet they fear his approach.
