Trapp studied at Christ Church, Oxford getting his M.A. in 1624. He took the side of parliament in the English Civil War and was jailed for some time. When released he served as a chaplain to the parliamentary soldiers in Stratford for two years. He served as a rector in Gloucestershire until 1660 and then as vicar until his death.

"He who rides to be crowned will not mind a rainy day."

"Be careful what books you read, for as water tastes of the soil it runs through, so does the soul taste of the authors that a man reads."
