John Trapp on Isaiah 25:5

Ver. 5. As the heat in a dry place] Where the inſolency of theſe Strangers (from the l[illegible: 1 letter]fe of God, the Antichriſtian rabble) the ſtir and ado they make, is reſembled to a heat and drought that doth parch and ſcorch the godly: Gods protection of his, to a thick ſhadow.

The branch of the terrible ones ſhall be brought low] Some read the Text thus: As the heat (is ubated) with a thick ſhadow: So the ſong or chanting of the terrible ones was abaſed: Others, the whole verſe thus, As the heat in a drought thou haſt brought down the ſtir of the ſtrangers: heat, I ſay with the ſhadow of a cloud, which (heat) did anſwer (a life) to the branch of the terrible ones. That is (ſay they) ſerved well their turn, and was moſt commodious for the wicked, who think their branches ſpread and flouriſh, when the Godly are ſcorched with calamities.
