Jeremiah28:10

Ver. 10. Then Hananiah the Prophet took the yoke from off the Prophet Jeremiah's neck and brake it] This was a moſt inſolent and deſperate fact in Hananiah (but nihil eſt audacius illis Deprenſis) and a moſt dangerous temptation to the people to believe his prophecying. Such another bold beacham was Neſtorius the heretike; Aud[illegible: 1 letter]x erat, ſaith Zanchy, & magnae loquentiae, quâ unicâ fretus nihil non audebat, & quidom ſaepenumero foeliciter quod volebat, obtinebat: That is, bold he was and big-ſpoken; truſting whereunto, he durſt attempt any thing; and too too oft he effected alſo that which he attempted; ſo that he ſeduced for a while the good Emperour Theodoſius, and cauſed him to eject Cyril an Orthodox Biſhop; Zanch. Miſcell. epiſt. dedic. whom afterwards, upon better conſideration, he reſtored again to his place with greater honour; and condemned that hypocrite and heretike Neſtorius: of whom what became afterwards I wot not: but Hananiah died, as he well deſerved, for his thus daring to fight againſt God.
