Jeremiah4:16

Ver. 16. Make ye mention to the Nations] i. e. To the Jews who haply are called the Nations, becauſe once better accounted of then all Nations: thus the Saints are called All things, Coloſ. 1.18. and the Rabbines have a ſaying that thoſe ſeventy ſouls which came down to Egypt with Jacob, were more worth then all the Seventy Nations of the world beſides.

Sicut à Caeſare Caeſariani, à Preacore Praetoriani. That watchers are come] Nebuchadnezzars life-guard ſay ſome. Heb. Notſerim, i. e. Nebuchadnezzarens. Others give a better reaſon of the word from the next Verſe.

And give out their voice againſt the Cities of Judah] Whilſt they invade them cum barritu militari, with a horrid and horrible noiſe, ſuch as the Turks uſe nowadays alſo, when they ſet upon any City to ſtorm it.
