Jeremiah36:30
Ver. 30. He ſhall have none to ſit upon the throne of David] i. e. None to make any reckoning of: for his ſon Jecon[illegible: 1 letter]ah raigned but three moneths and ten dayes. And Zedekiah is not looked upon as his lawful ſucceſſour, becauſe he was his Uncle, and ſet up likely by Nebuchadnezzar for a reproach to Jehojakim and Jeconiah: Of Jehojakim it may be ſaid, as was afterwards of Ethelred King of England: Ejus vitae curſus ſaevus in principio, miſer in medio, turpis in exitu aſſeritur. Malms. lib. 2. cap. 10. and in as great ſpite as once Attilus King of Sueſia made a dog King of the Danes (in revenge of a great many injuries received by them) appointing Councellours to do all things under his title.
And his dead body ſhall be caſt out in the day to the heat] This was that infamous burial of an aſſe wherewith he had formerly been threatened, chap. 22.19. His father Joſiah was one of thoſe few that lived and dyed with glory: but he did nothing leſſe.
