1Next unto Isaiah let us annex the testimony of Jeremiah, who after he had prophesied much of the return of the Jews from the captivity of Babylon, doeth encourage them again at the last with this kind of consolation: that from thenceforth they should never be carried from their own country into bondage again, speaking thus in the xxiii. chapter of his prophecy. And I will gather the remnant of my sheep out of all countries, whither I shall drive them, and will bring them again to their folds, and they shall grow and increase: And I will raise up shepherds over them which shall feed them: And they shall dread no more to be afraid: nor shall any of them be lacking sayeth the Lord. 2And immediately after: Behold the dais come, saith the Lord, that I will raise unto David a righteous branch, and a king shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgement and justice in the earth. In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell in ⟨image 54⟩safety. And this is the name whereby they shall call him, The Lord our righteousness. &c. And again in the xxiiii. of his prophecy:3 Like as these good figs, so will I know them that are carried away captive out of Judah to be good, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans: for I will set mine eyes upon them for good, and I will bring them again into this land, and I will build them and not destroy them, and I will plant them, and not root them out. &c. And again in the xxxi. Chapter:4 Behold, I will bring them from the North country, and gather them from the coasts of the world, with the blind and the lame amongst them, with the woman with child, and her that is delivered also: A great company shall return hither. And they shall come and rejoice in the height of Zion, and their soul shall be as a watered Garden, and they shall hunger no more: for I will forgive their iniquities, and will remember their sins no more. And the seed of Israel shall not cease for not being a nation before me for ever. And the places shall be built, & shall be all holy unto the Lord, neither shall they be plucked up nor destroyed ⟨image 55⟩
