Jeremiah26:23
Ver. 23. And they fet forth Ʋriab out of Egypt] As they did here Sir John Cheek out of the Low-countries, and frightened him into a Recantation. Not ſo this Ʋriah.
And they fet forth Ʋriah out of Egypt] En colluſio Principum mundi in parricidio.
Who ſlew him with the ſword] Without all law, right, or reaſon. So John Baptiſt was murthered, as if God had been nothing aware of him, ſaid that Martyr. But Jehojakim got as little by this, as he did afterwards by burning Jeremy's Book or as Veſpaſian afterwards did by baniſhing all the Philoſophers of his time, becauſe they ſpake boldly againſt his vices and tyranny.
