Jer. 41.10. to the end of the Chapter. Johanan, who was the Captain of the Residue of the Jews left in Jerusalem, desired Jeremiah (though with a double and deceitful heart) to enquire of the Lord, whether he should go down to Egypt, or abide at Jerusalem: And bound himself with a vow, that — Whatever the Lord said, he would do it.

Jeremiah comes, and tells him, he must abide at Jerusalem, and God would preserve him. But Johanan wanted Faith to believe there was safety, where was no means of safety. And therefore he chose rarher to go down to Egypt, than to abide at Jerusalem. And if that mans reason might direct it, 'twas the likeliest way: for ⟨p. 127⟩in Jerusalem was nothing but Penury, Want, Famine and War: In Egypt there was Plenty, Peace, and all abundance.
