God glories much in this creature of Rain, 1in so much that he wonders when men do not fear him who is the giver of rain: They did not say in their hearts, let us fear God who gives rain: there is so much of my glory in this very one creature, that mens hearts must be very hard that will not give God glory for it; Jer. 5.24. God is styled the Father of rain, this speech, the mention of it here hath reference to that country in which the Prophet spake; to Canaan, where they had rain, not so frequently as we have, but twice a year especially, viz. at seed time, to soften the ground, and a little before harvest, to plump and fill up the Corn in the ear. The Apostle James seems to allude unto this. Jam. 5.7.2 The husbandman waiteth patiently for the fruits of the earth, (so should we for Gods time of delivering his people, Gods deliverances to his people shall be as seasonable as the former and the latter rain) The Notes of observation from these words are.
