John Trapp on Jeremiah 27:8

Ver. 8. And it ſhall come to paſſe that the Nation, &c.] It is better then, to ſerve a forrein Prince, then to periſh by the ſword, famine or peſtilence. It ſhould not be grievous to any man to ſacrifice all his outward comforts to the ſervice of his life.

And that will not put their neck under the yoke] The Lord diſpoſeth of the Kingdoms of the Heathens alſo, though in ſuch a way as may ſeem to us to be meer hap-hazard.

That Nation will I puniſh] By ſeeking to ſhun a leſſe miſchief, they ſhall fall into a greater: if they eſcape froſt, the ſhall meet with ſnow.
