Jeremiah21:2

Ver. 2. Enquire I pray thee of the Lord for us] He ſeeketh now to the Lord, whom in his proſperity he regarded not: ſo doth a drowning man catch at the tree or twig, which before he made no reckoning of. Rarae fumant felicibus arae, In their affliction they will ſeek me early, Hoſ. 5. ult. When he ſlew them, then they ſought him, and enquired earely after God, Pſal. 78.34. Pharaoh when plagued, calleth earneſtly for Moſes to pray for him: and Joab when in danger of his life, runneth to the horns of the Altar.
