with_o his_o blessing_n so_o much_o the_o more_o heinous_a be_v their_o fault_n in_o that_o they_o have_v forsake_v he_o how_o in_o the_o last_o part_n of_o the_o verse_n god_n complain_v of_o their_o

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

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

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

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

mean_v to_o comprehend_v all_o such_o as_o have_v any_o charge_n of_o government_n over_o the_o people_n of_o god_n for_o king_n and_o their_o counsellor_n as_o also_o the_o prophet_n be_v usual_o

therefore_o jeremiah_n stick_v not_o to_o grant_v they_o this_o title_n as_o well_o in_o regard_n of_o their_o duty_n as_o of_o their_o vocation_n and_o calling_n even_o as_o we_o at_o this_o day_n

of_o idol_n baalims_n in_o the_o plural_a number_n but_o because_o baal_n signify_v a_o patron_n as_o oft_o as_o the_o prophet_n mention_v either_o baal_n in_o the_o singular_a number_n or_o baalim_n in_o the_o plural_a they_o mean_v thereby_o all_o those_o petty_a god_n who_o the_o jew_n have_v gather_v together_o as_o if_o god_n not_o content_a with_o his_o sole_a and_o only_a power_n need_v some_o fellow-helper_n to_o be_v join_v with_o he_o as_o in_o the_o papacy_n where_o at_o this_o day_n they_o stick_v not_o to_o confess_v that_o there_o be_v one_o sovereign_a majesty_n but_o in_o

yet_o have_v they_o a_o infinite_a troop_n of_o dunghill_n god_n who_o be_v so_o many_o baalim_n therefore_o when_o the_o prophet_n say_v here_o that_o such_o as_o have_v the_o charge_n of_o teach_v
