John Trapp on Jeremiah 15:2

Ver. 2. If they ſay unto thee] As they will be apt enough to do in a jeare.

Such as are for death] i. e. For the peſtilence commonly called mortality, becauſe it is ſo deadly a diſeaſe: Thoſe at Genoa have lately found it ſo. And yet it is here reckoned firſt, as the leaſt and lighteſt of all the four threatened Judgements; which muſt needs be had enough when the Peſt is the beſt of them all. The Turks ſhun not the company of thoſe that have the Plague; but pointing upon their foreheads, ſay, it was written there at their birth▪ when they ſhould dye, and of what diſeaſe. Theſe in the text could as little avoid the deaths they were aſſigned to, as Aeſchylus the Tragedian could his being knockt on the head. For when as he was foretold that he ſhould dye with a ſtroke coming from above,Alian. Val. Max. he ſhunned houſes, and was wont to remain in the open air, but he was killed by a Torroiſe falling from the mouth of an Eagle upon his bald head, miſtaken for a ſtone.
