John Trapp on Jeremiah 1:13

Ver. 13. What ſeeſt thou?] By theſe queſtions his attention is ſtirred up, that he may the better obſerve the matter of his preaching, which is here repreſented by a ſecond viſion.

I ſee a ſeething pot] Heb. a pot blown up. Ollam Ebullitam. This boyling pot is Jeruſalem beſieged by the Chaldeans, and we are the fleſh, ſay thoſe deriders of this Prophecy of Jeremy, Ezek. 11.3. but they found it to be juſt ſo, ſhortly after: and then their profane hearts might well have beſpoke them, as the heart of Apollodorus the tyrant ſeemed to ſay to him, who dreamed one night that he was flead by the Scythians and boyled in a Chaldron; and that his heart ſpake to him out of the kettle, [non-Latin text not transcribed]. It is I that have drawn thee to all this.

And the face thereof] i. e. That part of the pot that is next the fire, and heated therewith.
