John Trapp on Jeremiah 12:6

Ver. 6. For even thy brethren] Let this comfort us in like caſe. Abel and John Diazius were butchered by their own unnatural brethren. Paul ſuffered moſt of all from his own country-men.

Yea they have called a multitude after thee] Or, with full mouth: Clamant poſt te pleno gutture. as thoſe did againſt Chriſt who cryed crucifie him crucifie him: and thoſe againſt Paul, Away with ſuch a fellow from the earth: and thoſe againſt the Primitive Chriſtians, Chriſtianos ad leones, to the Lyons with them. In Rhodanum, in Rhodanum, cryed many at Geneva againſt Farellus their faithful Preacher; into the River with him: but God preſerved him from their fury, for the good of many other Cities after that converted by him.

Believe them not, though they ſpeak fair words to thee] Fair words make fools fain, we ſay: but be not light of belief: the worlds naught.

Mel in ore, verba lactis: Fel in corde, fraus in factis.
