(meaning in the temple of Jerusalem) seeing the multitude committeth such abomination? They have pro uoked me to anger, burning incense unto Baal. Which great abomination, when God had showed, not only to Jeremy (who then was in Jerusalem) but also to Ezekiel being prisoner1 in Babylon, their bodies being separate, in prophecy they did both agree, that whole Israel & Judah should be […]. Thus […] Ezekiel: […] upon all the abominations of the house of Israel, they shall fall by the s•rd, by •ieluce & hunger, he that in far of, shall dye of the plague: […] that […], shall fall by the swe•d. […] that is left and is besieged, shall dye by hunger, and I shall complete my wrath upon them. And Jeremiah saith: Behold I will give this city in the hand of the […], in the hand of […] 2King of Babylon, who shall take it. The […] verily shall enter into it. & they shall burn it with fire: they shall burn it, and the houses in which they burnt […] to Baal. &c. The ⟨image 16⟩children of Israel, and the children of Judah have don nothing from their youth but wickedness, and that before mine eyes, to provoke me to anger. They have turned unto me their3 backs, and not their faces: they, their Kings, their princes, their prophets, their priests, whole Judah, & all the city of Jerusalem. They would not hear nor be reformed. They have set up their dung (so termeth he their idols) in the place that is consecrate to my name. And when the King of Babylon was lying about the city, he sayeth to the messengers of Zedechias (who are sent to demand of the Prophet what should become of this City.) The Chaldees4 shall take this City, and shall burn it with fire: yea if you had killed all the5 host of the Chaldees, that besiegeth you, and if the killed man were left, every man should rise in his tent, and should burn this City with fire. He that abideth in this City, shall dye either by sword, by hunger or by pestilence. But he that shall go forth to the Chaldees, shall live, and shall win his soul, ⟨image 16⟩for a pray. And to the lying in […] asking his counsel, he boldly saith: If suddenly thou shalt go forth to the princes of the Babylonians, thy soul shall live, and this City shall not be burnt with fire: But if thou go not forth to the captains of the Babylonians, this city shall be given over in the hands of the Chaldees, who shall burn it with fire, neither yet shalt thou escape their hands.
