John Trapp on Ezekiel 33:24

Ver. 24. They that inhabit thoſe waſts of the land of Iſrael] Thoſe poor few now left in the land, 2 King. 25.12, 22. Jer. 40.5, &c. Surely they are poor, they are fooliſh, they have loſt the fruit of their affliction, miſerrimi facti ſunt & peſſimi permanent (as Auſtin ſaith of ſome in his time) they are never the leſſe wicked, for being wretched.

Verba facis populi recitat. Abrahae ſe conferre, imò praeferre audebant. Speak] Bubbles of words. Antiquum obtinent; They are no changelings, not at all creſt-faln.

Abraham was one] And no ſuch one, but that we may match him. Thus theſe proud hypocrites ſet up their counter for a thouſand pound, and ſtand upon their compariſons, without all ſhame or ſenſe.

The land is given to us] And here we will hold our own: for we are well worthy.
