John Trapp on Jeremiah 50:8

Ver. 8. Remove out of the midſt of Babylon] Ho, Ho, come forth, as Zach. 2.6. Away, this is not your reſt, for it is polluted, Mic. 2.10. See Eſay 48.20. Rev. 18.4.

Be as the hee-goates] That lead the flocks, generoſè & feſtinanter, freely and readily. Sheep are fearful, and therefore go behind: goates are not ſo, and therefore go before. There is good hope, ſaith one, that we are going out of Babylon, when the hee-goates go before the flock: when men of publick place and authority are active for reformation.
