John Trapp on Jeremiah 33:1

CHAP. XXXIII.

Ver. 1. MOreover the Word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah the ſecond time] To the ſame purpoſe with the former, chap. 32. which is reckoned his fourteenth Sermon, as this his fifteenth: by both we ſee, that the Word of God is not bound, though the Preacher may, 2 Tim. 2.9. It runs and is glorified, is free and not fettered, 2 Theſ. 3.1.

While he was yet ſhut up] God forſaketh not his Priſoners: but giveth them oft extraordinary comforts. Philip Lantgrave of Heſſe (being a long time held priſoner by Charles the fifth, for the defence of the Goſpel) was demanded what upheld him all that time? he anſwered, Divinas Martyrum conſolationes ſe ſenſiſſe, that he felt in his ſoul the divine conſolations of Martyrs, in whom as the afflictions of Chriſt do abound, ſo do comforts by Chriſt abound much more, 2 Cor. 1.5.
