The Princes of Israel came to Jeremiah, and entreat him to inquire of the Lord for them:1 promising, that whatsoever direction the Lord should send they would obey. The Prophet accordingly presents their supplication to God. God answers You shall not go into Egypt, 2lest you be destroyed: but abide still in Judah, and you shall be safe. When they heard this Oracle, because it was not their humours, they replied, We will go into Egypt. This was their purpose from the beginning, (though ⟨p. 119⟩they dissembled a will to know Gods mind) which if Gods command crosseth, they will cross his command: they will go into Egypt. So people will be content to hear what God saith to them by his Ministers: but if he speak not what pleaseth them, they will follow their own affections. We are such nice and froward pieces, that the more God woos us, we are the further off. As it is with some shallow professors of Music, saith the Poet.
