John Trapp on Jeremiah 26:1

CHAP. XXVI.

Ver. 1. IN the beginning of the raign of Jehoiakim] What a ſudden change was here, ſoon after the death of good Joſiah! and was there not the like in England, after the death of that Engliſh Joſiah, Edward 6? Within a very few dayes of Queen Maries reign were divers learned and godly men in ſundry parts committed to priſon for Religion, and Mr. Rogers the Protomartyr put to death, as was that holy Prophet of God Ʋriah the ſon of Shemajah of Kiriathjearim not many weeks before Jeremiah was apprehended and queſtioned for his life, as is here related, his adverſaries being pricked on by pride and malice.
