Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 46:28

28 Fear thou not, O Jacob my servant, saith the LORD, for I am with thee, for I will m[illegible: 1 letter]ke a full end of all the nations whither I have driven thee, but I will not make a full end of thee, but correct thee in measure, yet will I not leave thee wholly unpunished .

See the notes on chap. 30.10, 11. where is the substance of what is said in these two verses, and almost the very words are repeated: the great thing to be observed by us, is the difference which the just and righteous God maketh betwixt his puni[illegible: 2 letters]m[illegible: 1 letter]nts of his Church and own people▪ and his punishments of wicked men who are their Enemies a[illegible: 1 letter] there is a great difference in the root of such dispensations, God dealing them out to his people out of love, that they might not be condemned with the wicked; so there is a great deal of difference in the measure and duration of their punishments, the rod of the wicked shall not alwayes lye upon the backs of the righteous, and they are corrected in measure.
