John Trapp on Jeremiah 27:2

Ver. 2. Make thee bonds and yokes] i. e. Yokes with bonds, ſuch as they are wont to be faſtened with.

A Lapide. And put them upon thy neck] This was to the Prophet, ſaith the Jeſuite, moleſta & probroſa poenitentia, a troubleſome and diſgraceful pennance: but this was no will-worſhip, ſay we; and much handſomer then the pennances they put the people to in Italy: Bee-hive of Rome. where you may ſee them go along the ſtreets, ſaith mine Author, with a great rope about their necks, as if they were dropped down from the Gallowes: and ſometimes they wear a Sawſedge or a Swines-pudding in place of a ſilver or gold chain, for a ſign of their mortification, and that they may merit.
