Jeremiah27:7

Ver. 7. And all Nations ſhall ſerve him] All the neighbouring Nations, and ſome others more remote: but never was any man [non-Latin text not transcribed] Ʋniverſal Monarch: though ſome have ſtiled themſelves ſo, as did Seſoſtris King of Egypt,

Qui Pharios currus regum cervicibus egit.

Ʋntil the very time of his land come] The greateſt Monarchies had their times and their turns: their riſe and their ruine.

And then many Nations and great Kings ſhall ſerve themſelves of him] As the Chaldaeans had ſerved themſelves of the Aſſyrians: ſo did the Perſians of the Chaldaeans, the Greeks of the Perſians, the Romans of the Greeks; the Gothes and Vandals, and now the Turks of the Romans; ſuch an aeſtuaria viciſſitudo there is in earthly Kingdoms, ſuch a ſtrange uncertainty in all things here below. Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace whereby we may ſerve God acceptably with reverence and godly feare, Heb. 12.28. Let us ſerve Him, and not ſerve our ſelves upon him, as ſelf-ſeekers do.
