John Trapp on Jeremiah 2:19

Ver. 19. Thine own wickedneſſe ſhall correct thee] E[illegible: 1 letter]udiat te malitia tua, Let thine own wickedneſſe with the ſad conſequents thereof, teach thee better things: as chap. 6.8. Let it for ſhame, let it, [non-Latin text not transcribed], let ſmart make wit, Iſa. 28.19. Prov. 29.15.

Know therefore and ſee] Learn at leaſt by ſad experience; for thou haſt paid for thy learning. Piſcator ictus ſapiet.

That it is an evil thing and bitter] So all ſin will prove in the iſſue, and when the bottom of the bag is turned upward. There will be bitterneſſe in the end, as Abner ſaid to Joab, 2 Sam. 3.15. Laban will ſhew himſelf at parting howſoever. Tamar will be more hated then ever ſhee was loved: Amor, amaror; pius aloes quam mellis habet.

Laeta venire Venus, triſtis abire ſolet.

Drunkenneſſe is ſweet, but wormwood is bitter. Theſe Inhabitants of Jeruſalem were made drunk, but with wormwood, Lam. 3.15. they found that ſin was a Dulcacidum, a bitter-ſweet: ſweet in the mouth, but bitter in the maw, [non-Latin text not transcribed] Philo. as that book in the Revelation: like Adam's apple, or Eſau's pottage, or Jonathan's hony, or Judas his thirty pieces, whereof he would fain have been rid but could not: they burnt like a ſpark of hell-fire in his hand, but eſpecially in his conſcience. The Devil with the Panther, hideth his deformed head, till the ſweet ſent have drawn other beaſts into his danger, and then he devoureth them. Did we but conſider what ſin will coſt us at laſt, we durſt not but be innocent.
