Jeremiah13:18
Ver. 18. Say to the King and to the Queen] Or Madam, the Lady or Miſtreſſe: that is, to the Queen Regent, even to Necuſtah the mother of Jeconiab, ſay the Jews. When Beza, in the behalf of the reformed Churches in France, made a ſpeech at Poſſiacum before the young King and the Queen-Mother, he ſpake ſo effectually, ſaith Rivet, that a great Cardinal who heard it, wiſhed, that either he had been dumb that day, or that they had all been deaf. This King and Queen in the text might be as much convinced, though not throughly converted.
Humble your ſelves, ſit down] Heb. Humble, ſit below.
For your Principalities] Or, your head-attires.
The crown of your glory] Or, your crown of glory, that is, your glorious crown: of which you ſhall have cauſe enough to ſay as Antigonus did of his Diadem, O vilis pannus, &c. Or, as another Monarch, Nobilis es, fateor, rutiliſque onerata lapillis, Innumeris curis ſed comitata venis: Quod benè ſi noſſent, omnes expendere; nemo, Nemo foret qui te tollere vellet humo.
