Jeremiah7:32-33

Ver. 32. It ſhall no more be called Tophet] Unleſs it be quaſi Mophet, i. e. Portentum.

Nor the vally of the ſon of Hinnom] As it had been called from Joſhua's dayes, chap. 15.8.

But the valley of ſlaughter] Or Ge-haharegah: for the great ſlaughter that the Chaldees ſhall make there. Ecce congrua poena peccato, ſaith Oecolampadius.

For they ſhall bury in Tophet] It ſhall become a Polyandrion or common burial-place, till there be no place or room left.

Et erit morticinum populi.Ver. 33. And the carcaſſes of this people] Their murrain-carcaſſes, as the Vulgar rendreth it.

Shall be meat for the foules of the heaven] Whereby we may alſo underſtand the devils of hell, ſaith Oecolampadius.
