1The Prophet Jeremiah exhorteth Gods people with many words, and very earnestly to keep promise with Nebuchadnezzar, though he were a heathen prince, and an infidel, and to obey him, and to pray to God for his welfare. Ezekiel also speaking of the unfaithfulness of Zedechias towards Nebuchadnezzar,2 saith: He hath set light by his oath, and broken his covenant, even when he had given his hand upon it. All these things hath he done, and therefore he shall not escape. As truly as I live (saith God) I will bring mine oath which he hath despised, and my covenant which he hath broken, upon his own head. These sayings are more apt and fit for our present case, than that they read to be expounded & applied with many words.
