Jeremiah5:26
Ver. 26. For among my people are found wicked men] This was as bad as to find a nettle in a garden, unchaſtity in a Virgin, or the devil in Paradiſe. All the Lords people are or ought to be holy.
They lye in wait] Or watch, or prey: See on Mic. 7.2.
They ſet a trap, they catch men] To ſpoil them, or ſlay them. Such a one was Otto the Popes Muſcipulator (as the ſtory ſtileth him) i. e. Mice-catcher, ſent hither by Gregory 9. to take and take away our money: Tecelius ſent by Leo 10. into Germany was another.
