Jeremiah7:11

Ver. 11. Is this houſe which is called by my name] Is it become impiae gentis arcanum, A[illegible: 1 letter]x omnium turpitudinum. as Florus afterwards ſpitefully called it? or a profeſſed Sanctuary of roguery, as the Papiſts maliciouſly ſay of Geneva: Or a receptacle of all abominations, as Pompey's Theatre in Rome was once ſaid to be.

Become a den of robbers] To ſuch it ſhould have been ſaid by the Porters— Greſſus removete profani. In the myſtical ſacrifices of Ceres no profane perſon was to be admitted: for the Prieſt going before uttered theſe words—[non-Latin text not transcribed], that is, be packing every wicked perſon. So the Roman Prieſts had their procul ô procul eſte profani.
