John Trapp on Jeremiah 35:14

Ver. 14. The words of Jonadab—not to drink wine are performed] So are the words of Mahomet to like purpoſe, to this day, by the Turks: ſo are the commands of the Popiſh Padres to their young Novices, though it be to make a voyage to China or Peru, Per varios caſm, per tot diſcriminarerum.

For unto this day they drink none] Neither dwell in houſes as you do and may do, eating of the fat, and drinking of the ſweet without reſtraint, ſo that you keep within the bounds of ſobriety. I command you nothing, but what in reaſon ſhould be done for a worldly good, as well as for a ſpiritual.

Riſing early and ſpeaking] I began betimes with you: my Law I gave you in Horeb, eight or nine hundred years ſince; and from that time to this, I have conſtantly and inſtantly called upon you by my meſſengers for obedience: whereas it is not yet full three hundred years ſince Jonadab left this charge with his Rechabites; and dying, left none to ſee it fulfilled, or to reprove them for their neglects.
