Jeremiah6:8
Ver. 8. Be thou inſtructed] Affliction is a School-Maſter, or rather an Ʋſher to the Law,Maturant aſpera mentem. which the Apoſtle calleth a School-Maſter to Chriſt. Affl[illegible: 1 letter]ction bringeth men to the Law, and the Law to Chriſt. Affliction is a Preacher, ſaith one: blow the Trumpet in Tekoah: what ſaith the Trumpet? Ee inſtructed O Jeruſalem.
Leaſt my ſoul depart from thee] Heb. be looſed or disjoynted: leaſt I loath thee more then ever I loved thee, and ſo thy ruine come ruſhing in, as by a ſluce.
