Jeremiah38:9
Ver. 9. My Lord the King, theſe men have done evil] What a brave man was this to oppoſe ſo many Princes, and ſo potent, that the King himſelf durſt not diſpleaſe them? It was Gods holy Spirit that put this mettle into him, and gave him the freedom of ſpeech, Pſal. 119.46.
And he is like to dye for hunger in the place where he is] Or, who would have dyed for hunger in the place where he was.
For there is no more bread in the City] Cum panum annona ſit pauca & parca. What need he to be doubly murthered?
