from_o so_o many_o place_n beside_o your_o ordinary_a preacher_n who_o the_o lord_n have_v place_v among_o you_o which_o though_o they_o be_v few_o through_o your_o own_o fault_n yet_o be_v they_o enough_o to_o make_v you_o without_o excuse_n and_o all_o these_o have_v not_o cease_v to_o cry_v and_o call_v on_o you_o for_o the_o amendment_n of_o your_o life_n to_o lay_v away_o your_o swear_n your_o drunkenness_n your_o whoredom_n your_o falsehood_n and_o deceit_n in_o buy_v sell_v and_o bargain_v your_o profane_v of_o god_n sabboth_n your_o contempt_n of_o his_o word_n your_o bite_n extort_v and_o oppress_a usury_n beside_o infinite_a other_o your_o grievous_a and_o abominable_a sin_n and_o yet_o all_o in_o vain_a insomuch_o that_o the_o lord_n have_v lay_v his_o heavy_a hand_n upon_o many_o place_n of_o this_o land_n to_o the_o destruction_n of_o many_o thousand_o have_v begin_v also_o to_o stretch_v it_o out_o upon_o this_o city_n and_o be_v like_a to_o proceed_v further_o and_o not_o yet_o to_o make_v a_o end_n according_a to_o that_o of_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n 9_o 12._o the_o wrath_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v not_o yet_o turn_v away_o but_o his_o hand_n be_v stretch_v out_o still_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o have_v move_v i_o lay_v aside_o all_o matter_n both_o of_o doctrine_n and_o exhortation_n to_o make_v choice_n of_o this_o place_n of_o scripture_n the_o better_a to_o occasion_v i_o to_o lament_v &_o bewail_v both_o the_o hardness_n of_o your_o heart_n and_o the_o greatness_n of_o your_o punishment_n and_o to_o say_v with_o the_o prophet_n jeremiah_n oh_o that_o my_o head_n etc._n etc._n the_o prophet_n in_o these_o word_n do_v signify_v that_o as_o their_o sin_n be_v monstrous_a pass_v all_o measure_n so_o the_o destruction_n be_v fearful_a which_o the_o lord_n be_v determine_v to_o bring_v upon_o they_o exceed_v the_o measure_n of_o his_o ordinary_a judgement_n and_o therefore_o that_o he_o be_v not_o able_a sufficient_o to_o bewail_v the_o greatness_n thereof_o for_o great_a sin_n procure_v great_a punishment_n and_o great_a punnishment_n be_v never_o without_o great_a sorrow_n and_o lamentation_n see_v therefore_o the_o punnishment_n which_o god_n have_v prepare_v for_o the_o jew_n be_v such_o as_o they_o have_v never_o feel_v before_o so_o the_o prophet_n desire_v to_o bewayl_v the_o same_o with_o such_o a_o measure_n of_o lamentation_n as_o never_o have_v be_v hear_v of_o before_o that_o the_o greatness_n of_o his_o mourn_a might_n if_o it_o be_v possible_a be_v full_o answerable_a to_o the_o greatness_n of_o their_o misery_n in_o these_o word_n we_o may_v observe_v two_o thing_n first_o the_o mourning_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o second_o the_o object_n of_o his_o mourning_n the_o mourning_n in_o these_o word_n oh_o that_o my_o head_n be_v full_a of_o water_n and_o my_o eye_n a_o fountain_n of_o tear_n that_o i_o may_v weep_v day_n and_o night_n the_o object_n of_o his_o mourning_n be_v the_o slaughter_n of_o the_o people_n that_o i_o may_v weep_v day_n and_o night_n for_o the_o slay_v of_o the_o daughter_n of_o my_o people_n his_o mourning_n he_o set_v down_o in_o most_o pathetical_a and_o significant_a term_n and_o this_o he_o do_v by_o way_n of_o a_o rhetorical_a gradation_n for_o he_o that_o weep_v shed_v tear_n and_o he_o that_o shed_v tear_n must_v have_v some_o inward_a moisture_n that_o must_v be_v resolve_v into_o tear_n the_o prophet_n therefore_o frame_v &_o compose_v himself_o to_o weep_v and_o in_o weep_v to_o exceed_v measure_n &_o to_o pass_v moderation_n that_o he_o may_v not_o be_v interrupt_v in_o the_o course_n of_o his_o weep_v for_o want_n of_o matter_n to_o ministet_fw-la supply_v of_o tear_n he_o first_o wish_v that_o his_o head_n be_v full_a of_o water_n or_o rather_o that_o his_o head_n be_v resolve_v into_o water_n for_o that_o come_v near_o the_o haebrew_n original_a oh_o that_o some_o man_n will_v make_v my_o head_n to_o become_v as_o water_n in_o this_o great_a lamentation_n the_o prophet_n seem_v to_o fear_v nothing_o more_o then_o that_o his_o head_n shall_v be_v draw_v dry_a &_o that_o for_o lack_n of_o moisture_n he_o shall_v be_v constrain_v in_o time_n to_o forbear_v weep_v for_o as_o seneca_n say_v nullus_fw-la dolour_n longus_fw-la est_fw-la qui_fw-la magna_fw-la est_fw-la the_o sorrow_n that_o be_v great_a can_v be_v long_o for_o such_o be_v the_o infirmity_n of_o nature_n that_o nothing_o vehement_a or_o violent_a can_v be_v of_o long_a continuance_n see_v therefore_o that_o this_o sorrow_n be_v extraordinatie_n because_o it_o do_v arise_v of_o a_o extraordinary_a occasion_n here_o he_o set_v forth_o in_o extraordinary_a &_o hyperbolical_a form_n of_o speech_n rather_o express_v his_o desire_n how_o he_o will_v have_v it_o to_o be_v than_o any_o hope_n he_o have_v that_o it_o can_v so_o be_v &_o not_o so_o much_o declare_v what_o be_v possible_a &_o likely_a to_o be_v do_v as_o what_o be_v meet_v and_o convenient_a to_o be_v do_v the_o thing_n therefore_o that_o our_o prophet_n desire_v be_v first_o that_o his_o head_n may_v be_v full_a of_o water_n it_o be_v not_o a_o small_a quantity_n of_o water_n that_o will_v content_v he_o but_o he_o will_v have_v it_o full_o of_o water_n nay_o he_o will_v have_v it_o resolve_v into_o water_n that_o so_o long_o as_o it_o be_v a_o head_n so_o long_o it_o may_v never_o be_v without_o water_n to_o weep_v and_o wail_v for_o the_o destruction_n of_o the_o people_n but_o why_o do_v he_o wish_v that_o his_o head_n be_v full_a of_o water_n and_o not_o rather_o his_o heart_n see_v the_o heart_n be_v the_o seat_n of_o all_o the_o affection_n although_o the_o heart_n be_v the_o seat_n of_o the_o affection_n yet_o the_o head_n be_v the_o seat_n of_o

the_o hart_n be_v affect_v second_o for_o that_o the_o head_n be_v much_o large_a and_o of_o a_o more_o capacious_a figure_n three_o because_o it_o be_v more_o apt_a to_o receive_v and_o hold_v

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
