John Trapp on Jeremiah 6:18

Ver. 18. Therefore hear O ye Nations] For this people will not hear me, though I ſpeak never ſo good reaſon. Scaliger telleth us that the nature of ſome kind of Amber is ſuch, Exercit. 140. Num. 12. that it will draw to it ſelf all kind of ſtalks of any herb, except Baſilisk an herb called Capitalis, becauſe it makes men heady, filling their braines with black exhalations: Thus thoſe who by the fumes of their own corrupt wills are grown headſtrong, will not be drawn by that which draweth others, who are not ſo prejudicated.

Malitiam eorum. Piſcat. What is among them] What their ſins are: Or, Quid in eos, ſc. constituerim, what I have reſolved to bring upon them: Or, Quae in eis, know O congregation (of the Saints) which art among them.
