Jeremiah13:16

Ver. 16. Give glory to the Lord your God] Confeſs your ſins, Joſh. 7.19. one part of repentance put for the whole. Jeremy was as conſtant a Preacher of Repentance, as Paul, and after him Austin, were of the free-grace of God. The impenitent perſon robbeth God of his right: the penitent man ſarcit injuriam Deo irrogatam, ſeemeth to make ſome kind of amends to God whom he had wronged, by reſtoring him his glory, which he had run away with, whileſt he putteth himſelf into the hands of juſtice, in hope of mercy.

Before he cauſe darkneſſe] ſc. Of calamity and captivity. Currat poenitentia, ne praecurrat ſententia.

Modeſtiſſima explicatio infaelicitatis. Before your feet ſtumble] So, before ye fall upon the dark and dangerous cragges and precipices of eternal perdition. Which to prevent, work whiles the light laſteth: walk whiles it is yet day.
