Jeremiah29:22
Ver. 22. And of them ſhall be taken up a curſe] They had bleſſed themſelves, though the Lord abhorred them: and ſought to ſet up themſelves in the hearts of the people, being Gloriae animalia, popularis aurae viliſſima mancipia, (as Hierom ſaith of Crates the Philoſopher) they ſhall therefore leave their names for a curſe, as Iſa. 65.15.
Whom the King of Babylon roſted in the fire] Burnt them with a ſoft ſlow fire, as the Papiſts did John Hus, Biſhop Ridley, and many other innocent Martyrs; but ſhould do rather thoſe filthy Gergeſites, their Monkes and Friers of whom it went for a proverb in Germany, as Luther witneſſet[illegible: 1 letter]h, Whoſoever ſeeth any one of them, ſeeth the ſeven deadly ſins.
