may_v disgrace_v and_o slander_v the_o servant_n of_o god_n neither_o may_v they_o seem_v to_o want_v some_o goodly_a pretext_n in_o this_o behalf_n ho_o this_o fellow_n have_v curse_v all_o such_o as_o go_v down_o into_o egypt_n but_o i_o pray_v you_o where_o dwell_v he_o himself_o now_o even_o in_o egypt_n with_o the_o rest_n that_o be_v flee_v thither_o neither_o be_v it_o to_o be_v doubt_v but_o the_o faith_n of_o this_o holy_a man_n be_v much_o assail_v by_o the_o break_n of_o these_o and_o the_o like_a jest_n upon_o he_o for_o as_o much_o as_o impiety_n have_v evermore_o go_v hand_n in_o hand_n with_o pride_n and_o arrogancy_n yet_o there_o jeremiah_n constant_o persist_v in_o his_o course_n yea_o even_o till_o the_o city_n be_v raze_v and_o it_o be_v like_a enough_o he_o continue_v his_o labour_n in_o teach_v more_o than_o fifty_o year_n think_v jeremiah_n stone_v to_o death_n as_o it_o be_v think_v it_o be_v say_v by_o some_o that_o he_o be_v stone_v to_o death_n and_o this_o be_v very_o likely_a for_o he_o cease_v not_o still_o to_o enuay_v as_o vehement_o against_o the_o jew_n which_o be_v flee_v into_o egypt_n as_o he_o do_v during_o the_o time_n that_o the_o city_n be_v in_o safety_n now_o they_o be_v at_o that_o time_n enrage_v with_o a_o extreme_a desperateness_n thence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v then_o that_o they_o slay_v the_o holy_a prophet_n which_o in_o their_o conceit_n they_o think_v they_o may_v lawful_o do_v in_o regard_n he_o insult_v over_o they_o as_o it_o be_v in_o their_o misery_n but_o he_o endeavour_v rather_o thereby_o to_o tame_v their_o pride_n and_o rebellion_n which_o be_v indeed_o now_o become_v incorrigible_a but_o as_o for_o they_o they_o take_v it_o not_o so_o i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o sum_n of_o the_o pprophecy_n pprophecy_n the_o sum_n of_o jeremiahs_n pprophecy_n for_o isaiah_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o prophet_n that_o live_v in_o those_o time_n have_v for_o the_o most_o part_n lose_v their_o labour_n and_o spend_v their_o strength_n in_o vain_a what_o remain_v unto_o jeremiah_n then_o but_o in_o few_o word_n to_o pronounce_v this_o sentence_n hereafter_o expect_v no_o more_o grace_n nor_o pardon_n for_o the_o time_n of_o the_o last_o vengeance_n be_v at_o hand_n in_o regard_n you_o have_v too_o long_o abuse_v god_n patience_n who_o hitherto_o have_v forbear_v you_o and_o with_o all_o mildness_n and_o long-suffering_a have_v exhort_v you_o to_o repentance_n and_o have_v testify_v that_o he_o will_v deal_v favourable_o and_o gracious_o with_o you_o if_o so_o be_v you_o will_v convert_v &_o turn_v into_o the_o right_a way_n thus_o then_o god_n mercy_n have_v by_o they_o be_v despise_v it_o be_v requisite_a jeremiah_n shall_v thus_o thunder_v against_o such_o kind_n of_o person_n who_o by_o their_o obstinacy_n in_o such_o a_o desperate_a rebellion_n be_v grow_v incurable_a now_o you_o see_v whereunto_o the_o sum_n of_o this_o doctrine_n principal_o tend_v namely_o to_o show_v that_o the_o kingdom_n and_o priesthood_n be_v at_o a_o end_n because_o the_o jew_n have_v so_o long_a a_o time_n together_o and_o after_o so_o many_o way_n kindle_v god_n wrath_n against_o they_o and_o have_v also_o reject_v the_o holy_a admonition_n of_o his_o servant_n isaiah_n have_v in_o like_a manner_n threaten_v they_o in_o his_o time_n but_o to_o mitigate_v these_o fear_n and_o terror_n we_o see_v there_o be_v always_o leave_v in_o his_o prophecy_n some_o hope_n of_o pardon_n so_o that_o as_o oft_o as_o he_o enuaye_v in_o the_o bitter_a manner_n against_o they_o yet_o he_o forthwith_o add_v some_o word_n of_o consolation_n now_o after_o the_o ten_o tribe_n be_v lead_v into_o captivity_n and_o that_o their_o kingdom_n be_v waste_v and_o yet_o the_o jew_n notwithstanding_o all_o this_o repent_v not_o nay_o they_o become_v worse_a and_o worse_o in_o harden_v their_o heart_n against_o god_n rod_n and_o scourge_n be_v it_o not_o needful_a as_o i_o have_v say_v before_o that_o he_o shall_v take_v they_o short_a and_o handle_v they_o more_o severe_o god_n have_v contend_v and_o plead_v with_o the_o jew_n by_o isaiah_n and_o by_o other_o of_o his_o prophet_n by_o jeremiah_n and_o ezechiel_n he_o whole_o convince_v they_o as_o guilty_a and_o also_o pronounce_v sentence_n of_o condemnation_n upon_o they_o this_o be_v the_o difference_n which_o be_v to_o be_v note_v between_o the_o form_n of_o doctrine_n which_o isaiah_n hold_v and_o that_o which_o jeremiah_n keep_v in_o his_o sermon_n and_o yet_o to_o the_o end_n nothing_o may_v be_v want_v to_o his_o doctrine_n it_o please_v god_n that_o jeremiah_n also_o shall_v be_v a_o herald_n and_o a_o publisher_n of_o his_o grace_n and_o of_o that_o salvation_n promise_v by_o jesus_n christ_n but_o this_o exception_n must_v nevertheless_o be_v retain_v to_o wit_n that_o he_o give_v no_o hope_n of_o captivity_n of_o that_o be_v in_o respect_n of_o be_v free_v from_o their_o 70._o year_n captivity_n pardon_n or_o mercy_n till_o after_o they_o shall_v be_v chastise_v and_o correct_v for_o their_o offence_n now_o than_o we_o see_v what_o jeremiah_n principa_o teach_v but_o the_o whole_a will_v be_v better_o understand_v by_o the_o reader_n and_o more_o distinct_o perceive_v by_o the_o continual_a progress_n of_o the_o text._n neither_o be_v it_o my_o purpose_n now_o to_o show_v in_o general_n what_o be_v to_o be_v seek_v in_o the_o prophet_n for_o this_o argument_n as_o i_o take_v it_o be_v handle_v elsewhere_o i_o only_o affirm_v then_o isaiah_n see_v his_o preface_n before_o isaiah_n that_o jeremiah_n be_v send_v of_o god_n to_o preach_v and_o publish_v to_o the_o people_n their_o last_o ruin_n and_o then_o to_o declare_v the_o redemption_n to_o come_v yet_o so_o as_o that_o still_o he_o place_v the_o captivity_n of_o 70._o year_n between_o i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o word_n verse_n 1._o the_o word_n of_o jeremiah_n son_n of_o hilkiah_n one_o of_o the_o priest_n which_o be_v at_o anathoth_n in_o the_o land_n of_o benjamin_n 2_o to_o wit_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n come_v unto_o he_o in_o the_o day_n of_o josias_n the_o son_n of_o amon_n king_n of_o

juda_n until_o the_o end_n of_o the_o captivity_n of_o jerusalem_n in_o the_o five_o month_n i_o tell_v you_o before_o how_o it_o be_v not_o in_o vain_a that_o the_o time_n be_v here_o prefix_v wherein_o jeremiah_n begin_v to_o execute_v his_o prophetical_a office_n in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n namely_o because_o the_o estate_n of_o the_o people_n be_v much_o corrupt_v all_o religion_n blemish_v because_o the_o book_n of_o the_o law_n be_v lose_v worship_n god_n law_n the_o rule_n of_o god_n worship_n for_o thither_o only_o must_v we_o go_v to_o seek_v the_o rule_n of_o god_n worship_n neither_o must_v we_o pretend_v to_o fetch_v true_a understanding_n from_o any_o where_o else_o but_o from_o this_o pure_a fountain_n while_o impiety_n than_o have_v the_o swinge_n and_o that_o it_o have_v already_o reign_v but_o too_o long_o by_o custom_n among_o the_o jew_n jeremiah_n step_v sudden_o forth_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o very_a heavy_a burden_n which_o god_n have_v impose_v upon_o his_o shoulder_n for_o it_o can_v not_o be_v avoid_v but_o many_o adversary_n will_v rise_v up_o in_o opposition_n against_o he_o while_o he_o endeavour_v to_o bring_v the_o people_n back_o to_o the_o pure_a doctrine_n of_o the_o law_n which_o at_o that_o time_n be_v proud_o trample_v under_o foot_n of_o the_o great_a part_n of_o this_o people_n he_o call_v himself_o the_o son_n of_o hilkiah_n the_o jew_n think_v this_o be_v that_o hilkiah_n the_o priest_n which_o find_v the_o book_n of_o moses_n five_o year_n after_o but_o this_o be_v not_o likely_a as_o i_o think_v the_o conjecture_n of_o saint_n jerome_n jerome_n saint_n jerome_n be_v altogether_o frivolous_a in_o regard_n that_o from_o the_o word_n which_o the_o prophet_n add_v a_o little_a after_o he_o gather_v 6.7_o verse_n 6.7_o that_o he_o be_v but_o a_o child_n when_o he_o begin_v to_o prophesy_v as_o if_o he_o give_v not_o himself_o this_o title_n by_o way_n of_o similitude_n it_o be_v uncertain_a in_o what_o time_n of_o his_o age_n he_o be_v call_v to_o his_o prophetical_a office_n yet_o it_o be_v probable_a that_o he_o be_v then_o come_v to_o man_n estate_n because_o it_o be_v needful_a he_o shall_v be_v furnish_v with_o more_o than_o ordinary_a authority_n moreover_o have_v he_o be_v young_a or_o a_o child_n undoubted_o he_o will_v not_o have_v conceal_v so_o great_a and_o excellent_a a_o miracle_n but_o will_v have_v show_v how_o he_o be_v create_v a_o prophet_n before_o

although_o they_o say_v jehovah_n live_v yet_o say_v he_o they_o swear_v false_o now_o we_o see_v the_o prophet_n meaning_n for_o in_o the_o first_o place_n he_o pluck_v the_o vizard_n of_o this_o vain_a confidence_n from_o off_o the_o face_n of_o the_o hypocrite_n in_o regard_n they_o think_v god_n will_v easy_o be_v entreat_v if_o so_o be_v they_o only_o pretend_v his_o name_n and_o yet_o they_o consider_v not_o how_o precious_a the_o name_n of_o god_n be_v and_o thus_o they_o care_v not_o light_o to_o take_v up_o the_o sacred_a name_n of_o god_n in_o vain_a now_o the_o prophet_n not_o only_o condemn_v the_o hypocrisy_n of_o the_o jew_n but_o as_o i_o have_v say_v he_o aggravate_v their_o fault_n in_o regard_n they_o make_v no_o conscience_n in_o prostitute_v the_o holy_a name_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o all_o purpose_n and_o to_o be_v at_o utter_a defiance_n with_o it_o for_o this_o be_v do_v when_o we_o abuse_v the_o name_n of_o god_n by_o vain_a swear_n when_o he_o say_v although_o they_o swear_v etc._n etc._n he_o use_v here_o the_o same_o word_n which_o the_o faithful_a use_n in_o their_o oath_n for_o when_o they_o call_v the_o live_a god_n to_o witness_v it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o they_o present_v themselves_o before_o his_o judgement_n seat_n as_o be_v well_o assure_v that_o howsoever_o god_n may_v defer_v his_o vengeance_n for_o a_o time_n yet_o must_v they_o come_v to_o a_o account_n in_o regard_n he_o always_o live_v thus_o the_o faithful_a acknowledge_v that_o if_o they_o forswear_v themselves_o they_o can_v gain_v nothing_o by_o it_o though_o god_n shall_v suspend_v his_o judgement_n but_o as_o i_o have_v already_o say_v the_o prophet_n refer_v this_o to_o the_o hypocrite_n who_o seem_v to_o honour_n god_n much_o for_o nothing_o have_v a_o goodly_a show_n than_o their_o word_n but_o gall_n be_v in_o their_o heart_n while_o they_o have_v these_o sugar_a word_n in_o their_o lip_n the_o prophet_n than_o deride_v this_o feign_a holiness_n when_o he_o say_v that_o in_o outward_a show_n they_o swear_v very_o demure_o as_o though_o they_o affect_v nothing_o more_o than_o piety_n and_o religion_n yet_o for_o this_o they_o will_v swear_v other_o translate_v true_o or_o certain_o but_o the_o sense_n will_v be_v plain_o if_o we_o translate_v for_o this_o that_o be_v to_o say_v for_o this_o thing_n or_o for_o this_o cause_n they_o will_v swear_v false_o or_o lying_o it_o follow_v verse_n 3._o o_o lord_n be_v not_o thy_o eye_n upon_o the_o truth_n thou_o have_v smite_v they_o and_o they_o have_v not_o sorrow_v thou_o have_v consume_v they_o and_o they_o have_v refuse_v to_o receive_v discipline_n or_o correction_n they_o have_v harden_v their_o face_n more_o than_o a_o stone_n or_o rock_n they_o will_v not_o convert_v or_o turn_v some_o expound_v or_o rather_o draw_v in_o as_o it_o be_v against_o the_o hair_n a_o unapt_a sense_n from_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o verse_n as_o if_o the_o prophet_n shall_v say_v god_n therefore_o turn_v not_o his_o eye_n upon_o the_o right_n because_o he_o do_v so_o severe_o revenge_v himself_o upon_o the_o sin_n and_o offence_n of_o his_o people_n but_o jeremiah_n prosecute_v his_o former_a argument_n still_o for_o the_o distinction_n of_o the_o verse_n be_v of_o no_o moment_n in_o this_o behalf_n whosoever_o have_v thus_o distinguish_v they_o have_v often_o pervert_v and_o corrupt_v the_o sentence_n we_o must_v wink_v at_o this_o fault_n then_o only_o for_o the_o help_n of_o memory_n we_o be_v to_o retain_v the_o number_n but_o as_o touch_v the_o scope_n of_o the_o text_n the_o

together_o shall_v we_o find_v dis-joined_n i_o often_o think_v hereupon_o and_o it_o be_v also_o a_o profitable_a advertisement_n as_o in_o this_o place_n after_o the_o prophet_n have_v show_v how_o the_o jew_n be_v disloyal_a and_o of_o a_o double_a heart_n void_a of_o all_o uprightness_n he_o add_v yet_o do_v thy_o eye_n o_o lord_n behold_v the_o right_n or_o truth_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v it_o be_v in_o vain_a for_o they_o to_o pretend_v the_o name_n of_o god_n or_o to_o shelter_v themselves_o under_o heap_n of_o ceremony_n or_o outward_a appearance_n of_o godliness_n for_o god_n sound_v the_o heart_n and_o reins_n he_o stand_v not_o upon_o vizard_n of_o holiness_n wherewith_o man_n eye_n be_v blind_v and_o blear_v furthermore_o the_o prophet_n thus_o sudden_o direct_v his_o
