Jeremiah19:1
1 THus saith the LORD, Go and get a potters earthen bottle , and take of the ancients of the people, and of the ancients of the priests .
Criticks dispute the figure and fashion of this bottle, vid. (the English Annotations, and Mr. Pool's Latin Synopsis) but that is not much material, for Gods design was only to shew the fragility of this people, how easily he could break them, and how certainly he would break them in pieces.
For the more publick notice of this typical action, Ieremy is commanded to take for witnesses, some of the gravest of the people, and of the Priests, whether they were members of the San[illegible: 1 letter]edrim, (which was made up of those two sorts) or not, the Scripture saith not.
