Jeremiah29:7
Ver. 7. And ſeek the peace of the City] Do not tumultuate or ſeek to break priſon; as thoſe ſeedſmen of ſedition your falſe Prophets would perſwade you: but frame to a peaceable and patient behaviour. In returning and reſt ſhall ye be ſaved, in quietneſſe and in confidence ſhall be your ſtrength, Iſa. 30.15.
And pray unto God for it] ſc. That in it you may lead a peaceable and quiet life in all godlineſſe and honeſty, 1 Tim. 2.2. Chriſtians ſhould improve their writing-moneths upon the King of Saints, to pray for Kings and all that are in authority, though to them they had been Tyrants: ſith it ſeemeth good to God that they ſhould live under them. The Dutch have a Proverb,
Arbor honoretur, cujus nos umbra tuetur.
