1 As God hath his Sactaments to confirm the truth of his Word, of which his Miniſters are the Stewards and Adminiſtiators ; fo the Fay! hath his Sacraments, of which his Prophets arethe Admint- {trators. God by his Prophet Feremy had revealed his Will, as to the King of Babzlor's ſucceſs againſt many Nations, and bringing them into his Servicude ; as a Sacrament or Sign of this,he had com- manded Jeremizh to put ona Yoke with Bonds ; Hznaniah the ta!ſe Prophet, cometh in the Name of God, and declares the con trary, that within ewo Years God would break the King of Baby- l-a, and free the Nations in ſubjeCtion to tim ; and asa Sacrament or Sizn td gain credit to this talſhood, he plucks off Feremiah 5 Yoke, and breaks it, and expounds himſelf, that God ſhould to break the Ring of Babylon's Yoke trom the Neck of all Nations,and pretends Fe had a Co:mmiſſion trom God to fay this. o FeremiQ9 not able to entiure to hear Juch Lycs, goeth away in Teſtimony of his diſſent from him, and adherence to what he had ſaid.
12 Then the word of the LORD came unto Jere- miuh tLeprophet after that Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from off the neck of the Prophet Jeremiah ſaying p. |
p Some tine atter this, God taking notice of the affront put upon his Prophet Jereny, tor taitatuliy dilcharging the Meſſage with wl ich he had entruſted him, revealeth his Mind unto Fere- mizh, that he might declare it unto the People, and particularly to this talle Prophet.
' 73 Go and tell Hananiah, faying, Thus faith the LORD, Thou haſt broken the yokes of wood, but thou ſhalt make for them yokes of iron qe
g Jeremiah ſeeing the impudence of Hananiab, and that his fur- ther diſcourte with him would do no good, bur it may be have cauſed more danger to himlelt, propheliying what was more :0- grateful to the People,than whatthe falle Prophter propheſted,and potlibly defirous turther to know the Will of God withdrew him- jeif, Soon #fter God ſends him back to the People, and to Hauna- rh with this Meſſage ; That he by his falſe Prophecy had done the Peopje no good, but much hurt; further incenſed God againſt them, and provoked him to make their Judgment heavier,giving them iron yokes inſtead of thoſe of v ood.
14 For thus faith the LORD of hoſts, the God
* Deut,22.0f Iſracl, * I have put a yoke of iron upon the neck
of all theſe nations, that they may ſerve Nebuchad- nezzar King of Babylon, and they ſhall ſerve him, and * | have given him the beaſts of the field alſo -.
r For notwithſtanding all ne had ſaid, God was reſolved to ju- ſtifie his word, and to br ing them under ſubje&ion to Nebuchad- reF34r, andto give ali they had allo into his power.
15 Then ſaid the prophet Jeremiah unto Hanani- ah the Prophet, Hear now Hananiah, The Lord hath
not ſent thee, but thou makelt chis people to trult in
a lye /.
{ Jeremiah being a ſecond time confirmed in the truth of his Riyelation, and having likewle a ſpecial Revelation relating to this falle Prophet, comes now and tells him his doom, viz. that he ſhould dye within a year, becaute he had taught people to be- lieve, and to hope for, and truſt to what was talle, and they were never like to i2e.
