John Trapp on Ezekiel 4:3

Ver. 3. Moreover take thee unto thee an iron pan] Sartaginem ferream, in token of Gods hard and infl[illegible: 1 letter]xible hatred bent againſt ſo hard-hearted a people: whom he will therefore fry as in a pan, and ſeeth as in a pot, Jer. 1.13. ſo that they ſhall pine away in their iniquities.

Set thy face against it, and thou ſhalt lay ſiege] This the Prophet was to do in the name and perſon of God and his Souldiers, the Chaldaeans. Hard hearts make hard times, yea they make Deum, naturâ ſuâ mollem, miſericordem, & melleum, durum eſſe & ferreum, (as one ſaith) God to harden his hand, and haſten mens deſtruction.
