Jeremiah8:17
17 For behold, I will send serpents, cockatrices, among you, which will not be charmed, and they shall bite you, saith the LORD.
He proceeds in increasing of their terror, q. d. there will be no appeasing, or allaying of their fury by any art or method, therefore represented by Cockatrices, called in Latine Reg[illegible: 1 letter]lus, or King of Serpents, as putting to flight all other Serpents, put by apposition to Serpents shewing what kind of Serpent they shall be, a sort that cannot be charmed, viz. such an Enemy as by no intreaty can be made ex[illegible: 2 letters]able; See on Isa. 11.8. LXX, deadly Serpents.
They shall afflict you with sore punishments, not only stings in their Tails, as Scorpions, but in their Teeth, whereby they shall devour you. ver. 16.
