John Trapp on Ezekiel 22:30

Ver. 30. And I ſought for a man among them] i. e. A competent company of holy men, as once at Sodom, Gen. 18. at Jeruſalem, Jer. 5.1.

That ſhould make up the hedge] Which ſin had thrown down.

And ſtand in the gap] By his Piety, and Prayers, The Primum Mobile, ſay Aſtronomers, turneth about with ſuch ſwiftneſſe, that but for the counter-motion of the Planets and other Spheres, all would be fired: ſo would this wicked world but for the Saints, who keep a conſtant counter-motion to the corrupt practices thereof.
