John Trapp on Jeremiah 14:22

Ver. 22. Are there among the vanities of the Gentiles] i. e. The Heathen Idols wickedly worſhipped by the Jews.

That can cauſe to rain?] Pluit, ningit: ſupple Deus. Theſe Imperſonals imply that the Ancient Romans looked upon Rain, Snow, &c. as Gods work. Sure it is that they come by a Divine decree, Job 28.26. Not Jupiter [non-Latin text not transcribed] (whatever the Poets fable) nor the Heavens themſelves, without the Divine concurrence, can give rain: but it is God Almighty who both prepareth it, Pſal. 147.8. and withholdeth it at his pleaſure, Amos 4.7. the ſecond cauſes do but ſerve the Divine Providence, in theſe common occurrents.

Therefore we will wait upon thee] For ſeaſonabl[illegible: 1 letter] ſhowers in this our great neceſſity: We will wait, or, if thou ſee fit, want of our will, ſo that thy will may be done: for that's beſt.

For thou haſt made all theſe things] Both the conſtellations, and rain or drought cauſed thereby.
