John Trapp on Ezekiel 17:4

Ver. 4. He cropt off the top of his young twigs] i. e. The Nobles carried into captivity, with their King,Nul[illegible: 1 letter]a eſt objectio in lege quae non habet ſolutionem in latere. Omnia Romae vaenalia. as is to be ſeen ver. 12. So true is that ſaying of the Rabbines, that there is no riddle in the law that hath not a ſolution by the ſides of it. And ſo little cauſe had that Jeſuite Barradius to borrow an argument from this text to prove the Scriptures to be a riddle, and obſcure.

And carried it into a land of traffique] Babylonia was ſo; See Rev. 18.11. Rome is ſo, where all things are ſaleable and ſoluble; as was long ſince complained.

He ſet it in a City of Merchants] Some City, of Babylon, ſaith Diodat, aſſigned to the Jews; which was commodious for traffique, to keep them from all thoughts of war, and State policy.
