John Trapp on Jeremiah 41:7

Ver. 7. Iſhmael the ſon of Nethaniah ſlew them] This hell-hound having once (as other hounds) dipt his tongue in blood, can put no period to his unparalleld cruelty.

He and the men that were with him] His ſlaughter-ſlaves, his Aſſaſſines to help him: for he alone could not have done this bloody execution, unleſſe he had taken as much time thereunto as that Popiſh villain did in doing to death thoſe poor Proteſtants of Calabria Anno 1550. For as Iſhmael here brought theſe Eighty innocent men into the midſt of the City as into a pound, and there ſlew them: ſo Eighty-eight poor Profeſſours of the truth according to godlineſſe, being all thruſt up in one houſe together, as in a ſheep fold, the Executioner comes in (ſaith Mr. Fox) and among them takes one and blindfolds him with a muffler about his eyes, and ſo leads him forth to a larger place; where be commandeth him to kneel down: which being done, he cutteth his throat, and ſo leaving him half dead, and taking his butchers knife and muffler all of gore blood,Act. & Mon. [illegible: 1 letter]59. commeth again to the reſt, and ſo leadeth them one after another till he had diſpatcht them all.
