Annotations on JEREMIAH
The ARGUMENT T.
T was the great Unhappineſs of this Prophet to be @ Phyſician to, but could not ſave a dying State, their Diſeaſe fill [| prevailing againſs the Remedy ; and indeed no wonder that all things were ſo much out of order, when the Book of the Law had been wanting for ſome while. He was called tobe a Teacher in his Youth, in the Days of good Jo- fiah, being [andtified, and ordained by God to his Prophetical Office from his Mother s Womb, Chap. 1. 5. in a very evil time, though the People afterward proved much worſe upon the Death of that good King. He ſett.mg himſelf againſt the Torrent of the Corruptions of the Times, was always oppoſed, and unkind!y treated by his angrateſu! Countrymen, as alſo by falſe Prophets, and the Prieſts, Princes, and People, who encouraged ai: their Impieties and Unrighteoa/neſs : At length be threatned their Deſtruttion and Captivity by th? Chaldeans, hich he lived to fee, but foretells their Return after ſeventy Years : All which accordingly came to paſs : He doth alſo, notwithſt anding his dreadf. Threatnings, imntermix divers comfortable Promiſes of the Meſſiah, and the Days of the Goſpel 5 he denounces alſo heavy fudgments againFf :he Heathen Nations, that had afflicted God's People, both ſuch as were near, and aljv more remote, as Egypt, the Philiſtines, Moab, Edomites, Ammonites, Damaſcus, Kedar, Hazor, Elam, but eſpecially Babylon her ſelf, that is made ſo great a Type of the Anti-chriſtian Babylon i the New Teſtament. Upon the Murder of Geda- liah, whom the Chaldeans had made Governour of Judea, he was forcibly againſt his Ws ill carried into Egypt, (where after he had propheſied from firſt to laſs between forty and fifty Years) probably he died ; [ome ay he was ſtoned.
Whatever elſe we hear mentioned of bis Writings, they are either counterfeit, as the Prophecies of Baruch, &c. or it is likely we have the Sum of them in this Book, though poſſivly ſome of his Sermons might have had ſome Enlargements in that Roll which, by his Appointment, was written by Baruch, Chap. 36. 2, &c. |
