whereof_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o gather_v how_o much_o a_o do_v the_o prophet_n have_v with_o the_o wayward_a people_n have_v no_o common_a rule_n to_o direct_v they_o either_o for_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n or_o for_o the_o lead_n of_o their_o life_n but_o every_o man_n live_v as_o himself_o like_v best_o both_o corrupt_v the_o service_n of_o god_n with_o their_o idolatrous_a invention_n and_o defile_v their_o conversation_n with_o horrible_a sin_n and_o after_o that_o when_o the_o book_n of_o the_o law_n be_v find_v and_o public_o authorize_v by_o godly_a king_n josiah_n the_o people_n for_o all_o that_o become_v not_o much_o more_o tractable_a though_o for_o his_o time_n reduce_v to_o some_o better_a order_n yet_o afterwards_o like_o false-hearted_a apostate_n they_o utter_o revolt_v to_o their_o old_a superstition_n and_o looseness_n of_o life_n and_o strange_a it_o be_v to_o consider_v what_o contradiction_n the_o holy_a prophet_n find_v among_o that_o stifnecked_n people_n who_o neither_o regard_v the_o lord_n that_o send_v he_o nor_o the_o ambassage_n he_o deliver_v nor_o the_o imminent_a calamity_n which_o be_v ready_a to_o fall_v upon_o their_o head_n none_o of_o all_o these_o thing_n can_v make_v their_o stony_a heart_n to_o repent_v but_o on_o the_o contrary_a they_o raise_v up_o trouble_n and_o persecution_n against_o the_o prophet_n shut_v he_o sundry_a time_n in_o prison_n &_o sundry_a time_n seek_v his_o life_n they_o remove_v he_o from_o one_o dungeon_n to_o another_o where_o his_o foot_n stick_v fast_o in_o the_o mire_n in_o so_o much_o that_o he_o can_v not_o be_v get_v out_o till_o he_o be_v draw_v up_o with_o rope_n as_o we_o see_v in_o the_o 37._o &_o 38._o chapter_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o be_v not_o dismay_v but_o patient_o endure_v all_o these_o affliction_n and_o have_v constant_o continue_v in_o the_o faithful_a discharge_n of_o his_o prophetical_a function_n for_o the_o space_n of_o more_o than_o 40._o year_n together_o at_o length_n as_o it_o be_v record_v of_o he_o he_o be_v stone_v to_o death_n in_o egypt_n by_o those_o jew_n that_o be_v flee_v thither_o for_o fear_n of_o the_o chaldaean_n but_o now_o to_o approach_v near_o unto_o our_o text_n when_o isaiah_n that_o excellent_a prophet_n of_o the_o lord_n who_o have_v be_v vehement_a in_o rebuke_v the_o sin_n of_o the_o people_n &_o have_v labour_v most_o earnest_o to_o bring_v they_o to_o repentance_n can_v not_o prevail_v with_o all_o his_o travail_n but_o lose_v his_o labour_n and_o spend_v his_o strength_n in_o vain_a have_v continue_v prophesy_v about_o the_o space_n of_o threescore_o year_n what_o hope_n can_v our_o prophet_n jeremiah_n conceive_v who_o succeed_v he_o to_o prevail_v more_o with_o that_o obstinate_a people_n than_o his_o predecessor_n have_v do_v be_v both_o servant_n of_o the_o same_o lord_n both_o employ_v in_o the_o same_o affair_n and_o both_o aim_v at_o one_o mark_n which_o be_v the_o repentance_n of_o the_o people_n and_o their_o preservation_n from_o destruction_n depend_v upon_o their_o repentance_n our_o prophet_n therefore_o as_o he_o be_v late_a in_o time_n and_o the_o destruction_n of_o the_o jew_n near_a at_o hand_n so_o his_o care_n be_v the_o great_a to_o frame_v and_o compose_v himself_o in_o speak_v to_o the_o jew_n after_o such_o a_o sort_n as_o his_o speech_n may_v most_o deep_o pierce_v the_o very_a sinew_n of_o their_o heart_n and_o transfuse_v itself_o into_o the_o marrow_n of_o their_o soul_n not_o that_o he_o hope_v to_o atchive_v any_o great_a matter_n with_o they_o than_o isay_n &_o joel_n his_o predecessor_n have_v do_v but_o to_o make_v they_o inexcusable_a before_o god_n and_o that_o themselves_o may_v acknowledge_v the_o lord_n to_o deal_v most_o just_o with_o they_o when_o they_o shall_v feel_v the_o rigour_n of_o his_o judgement_n have_v be_v thereof_o so_o often_o forewarn_v this_o therefore_o be_v the_o chief_a point_n in_o jeremiah_n his_o doctrine_n to_o be_v observe_v that_o now_o no_o hope_n of_o pardon_n be_v leave_v unto_o the_o jew_n they_o have_v so_o long_o despise_v mercy_n that_o now_o vengeance_n be_v come_v and_o therefore_o they_o be_v to_o look_v for_o nothing_o but_o to_o feel_v the_o weight_n of_o god_n heavy_a indignation_n and_o for_o this_o they_o be_v to_o thank_v themselves_o for_o though_o god_n be_v full_a of_o patience_n &_o long_a suffering_n and_o be_v loath_a to_o punish_v sinner_n when_o they_o do_v offend_v yet_o he_o will_v not_o always_o suffer_v himself_o to_o be_v mock_v his_o justice_n will_v not_o always_o be_v sleep_v but_o at_o length_n will_v rouse_v up_o itself_o like_o a_o ramp_a lion_n and_o who_o be_v able_a to_o endure_v the_o fierceness_n thereof_o though_o he_o give_v his_o people_n a_o long_a time_n to_o repent_v &_o send_v his_o servant_n to_o call_v they_o to_o invite_v they_o to_o entreat_v they_o &_o to_o woe_n they_o as_o a_o man_n do_v woe_n a_o virgin_n who_o he_o will_v make_v his_o wife_n promise_v that_o he_o will_v be_v merciful_a to_o their_o sin_n and_o not_o remember_v their_o iniquity_n that_o he_o will_v deal_v with_o they_o in_o the_o greatness_n of_o his_o love_n &_o not_o in_o the_o rigour_n of_o his_o judgement_n that_o he_o will_v receive_v and_o embrace_v they_o as_o his_o dear_a child_n &_o bestow_v all_o good_a thing_n upon_o they_o both_o in_o this_o life_n &_o in_o the_o life_n to_o come_v if_o they_o will_v amend_v their_o life_n &_o turn_v unto_o he_o yet_o when_o they_o will_v not_o be_v reform_v when_o they_o remain_v impenitent_a &_o incorrigible_a and_o do_v harden_v their_o heart_n against_o all_o these_o love_a &_o gracious_a admonition_n how_o can_v the_o lord_n do_v less_o than_o make_v they_o know_v and_o feel_v that_o as_o he_o have_v abundance_n of_o sweet_a mercy_n lay_v up_o in_o store_n for_o they_o that_o fear_v he_o so_o his_o treasure_n be_v not_o without_o sharp_a arrow_n sword_n and_o all_o kind_n of_o weapon_n to_o gore_v the_o heart_n of_o all_o his_o enemy_n see_v then_o the_o jew_n be_v such_o how_o can_v the_o prophet_n jeremiah_n do_v less_o then_o sound_o out_o the_o trumpet_n of_o god_n wrath_n &_o thunder_n out_o the_o threaten_n of_o god_n indignation_n against_o they_o but_o what_o do_v not_o isay_n before_o he_o denounce_v the_o judgement_n of_o god_n against_o the_o jew_n yes_o very_o but_o with_o this_o difference_n that_o isaiah_n as_o he_o be_v vehement_a so_o with_o his_o threaten_n he_o always_o mingle_a word_n of_o comfort_n and_o give_v hope_n of_o pardon_n upon_o amendment_n but_o jeremiah_n when_o neither_o isaiahs_n preach_v will_v move_v they_o nor_o the_o example_n of_o their_o brother_n who_o the_o assyrian_n have_v carry_v away_o captive_n have_v utter_o destroy_v their_o kingdom_n can_v work_v any_o remorse_n in_o their_o heart_n jeremiah_n after_o all_o this_o see_v the_o jew_n obstinate_o give_v over_o to_o hardness_n of_o hart_n he_o tell_v they_o plain_o that_o he_o must_v not_o now_o dissemble_v with_o they_o but_o as_o they_o be_v obdurate_a in_o their_o malice_n without_o hope_n to_o be_v reclaim_v so_o they_o must_v now_o prepare_v themselves_o ever_o to_o bear_v the_o burden_n of_o god_n wrath_n without_o hope_n to_o be_v release_v and_o we_o may_v further_o say_v that_o god_n by_o the_o prophet_n isay_n do_v expostulate_v with_o the_o jew_n he_o plead_v his_o cause_n against_o they_o and_o bring_v they_o to_o their_o trial_n but_o by_o jeremiah_n he_o convince_v they_o he_o find_v they_o guilty_a and_o give_v sentence_n against_o they_o &_o that_o sentence_n be_v perform_v even_o in_o jeremiahs_n time_n who_o see_v with_o his_o own_o eye_n the_o execution_n thereof_o see_v then_o that_o the_o decree_n be_v pass_v their_o destruction_n determine_v and_o the_o sentence_n irrevocable_a admonition_n be_v unprofitable_a exhortation_n be_v unfruitful_a to_o pray_v for_o

lord_n jer._n 7_o 16._o this_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o our_o prophet_n here_o frame_v himself_o to_o mourn_v lament_v and_o bewail_v the_o misery_n destruction_n and_o calamity_n of_o the_o jewish_a nation_n oh_o that_o my_o head_n be_v full_a of_o water_n etc._n etc._n and_o because_o this_o city_n and_o this_o land_n have_v be_v as_o much_o bless_v of_o god_n as_o ever_o judah_n &_o jerusalem_n
