John Trapp on Ezekiel 47:6-7

Ver. 6. Son of man, hast thou ſeen this?] And art thou ſoundly ſenſible thereof? it is very fit thou ſhouldeſt; that God may have the glory of his great goodneſs and power in propagating the Goſpel, and bringing forward the work of his grace in the hearts of his people, maugre the malice of earth and of hell.

Arboretum Chriſti eſt Eccleſia.Ver. 7. Behold at the bank of the river were very many trees] Theſe were trees of righteouſneſſe, fruitful Chriſtians. See Pſal. 1.3. & 92.12. Iſa. 44.3, 4, 5. & 55.11, 12, 13. Jer. 17.8. Rev. 22.2. where and elſewhere it is eaſie to obſerve that John the Divine borroweth the elegancies and flowers of this and other Prophets, in his deſcription of the Church Chriſtian.
