Jeremiah26:11

Ver. 11. Then ſpake the Prieſts and the Prophets] Againſt a Prieſt and a Prophet; but he had earneſtly inveighed againſt them, chap. 23. and hence the hatred; as Eraſmus told the Duke of Saxony, that Luther had been too buſie with the Popes tripple-crown and with the Prieſts fat paunches, and was therefore ſo generally ſet againſt.

Saying This man is worthy to dye] Sic Papicola noſtri ſaeculi: theſe are the very words of Popiſh perſecutors.

For he hath prophecyed againſt this City] This holy, and therefore (it muſt be beleeved) inviolable City. Novum crimen, C. Caeſar, &c. Theſe ſinners againſt their own ſouls, traitours alſo to the State, will neither ſee their evil condition nor hear of it from others, as having gall in their cares, as they ſay of ſome kinds of creatures.
