John Trapp on Jeremiah 26:10

Ver. 10. When the Princes of Judah heard thoſe things] Pii viri ſunt quibus doluit populi impietas: good men they were, ſaith Oecolampadius: They might be ſo, ſome of them at leaſt: and it was well done of them here, to paſſe an impartial ſentence for the innocent Prophet, againſt the Prieſts and people. But Pilate did ſo for a while, for our Saviour: and theſe Princes ſoon after turned Jeremyes cruel enemies, chap. 37.15. for his plain-dealing, chap. 34.

And ſat down in the entry of the new gate] The Eaſt gate, ſaith the Chaldee Paraphraſt; called the new gate, becauſe repaired by Jotham, 2 King. 15.35. ſaith Lyra.
