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

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

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
