What Prince more godly then Josiah? what Prophet then Jeremiah? yet were they not freed from afflictions. Yea so was Jeremiah therewithal humbled, that he crieth out for the bitterness thereof. •o is me, my mother that thou hast borne me, a man of strife, and with whom this whole land contendeth. I have not lent on usury, nor 1have men lent me, yet every one doth curse me. These are blessed times and like to those of Josiah; yet assure thy self, that there is a measure of affliction for thee to abide. Even they that lived under Josiah were to go in to captivity for a season. But even in Babylon the Lord promiseth comfort & peace unto them, & after 70. years return to their own land. Now these things were spoken also for us, that we might have comfort and sure hope, that there shall be an end of our tribulations.
