Jeremiah16:14

Ver. 14 Therefore, behold] Or, notwithſtanding, ſc. theſe grievous threatnings, and extream deſolations. Thus the Lord ſtill remembreth his Remnant, and the Covenant made with them. Miniſters alſo muſt comfort the precious, as well as threaten the vile and vicious. Evangelizatum, non maledictum miſſus es: laudo zelum, modo non deſideretur manſuetudo, ſaid Oecolampadius to Farellus in a certain Epiſtle, Thou wert ſent to preach Goſpel and not Law only, to poure oyle as well as wine into wounded conſciences. I commend thy zeal, ſo it be tempered with meekneſſe of wiſdom.

That it ſhall no more be ſaid] i. e. Not ſo much be ſaid: the luſtre of this deliverance ſhall in ſome ſort dimme the luſtre of that; but both muſt be perpetually celebrated.
