John Trapp on Jeremiah 51:61

Ver. 61. When thou comeſt to Babylon and ſhalt ſee] ſc. The ſinfulneſſe, as well as the ſtatelineſſe of that City.

And ſhalt read all theſe words] Or, then ſhalt thou read all theſe words. They who hold he did it publickly, extol the authority of the Prophet, the boldneſſe of Seraiah, and the mildneſſe of the King of Babylon, ſomewhat like that of the King of Nineveh, Jon. 3. but the moſt think he read it privately: yet not in ſome cloſet a part by himſelf, but in ſome private houſe to his country-men who came unto him.
