Also 4. Baruch should not have gone to the house of the Lord at the commandment of Jeremiah, 1and so at Gods commandment, Jer. 36, 6, 7. to read the book of the Prophecy of Jeremiah, in the ears of the Princes and people at the entry of the new-gate of the Lords house, ver. 10. because the Princes, Priests, Prophets and people followed Baalim, slew their children to Molech, forsook the Lord their God, said to a stock thou art my father, came to Gods house and cried, the Temple of the Lord, the Temple of the Lord, and yet did steal, murder, commit adultery, swear falsely, burn incense to Baal, and walk after other gods, Jer. 9. 2, 3, 13, 14. Chap. 5. 31. Chap. 7. 8, 9, 10. Chap. 2. 13, 14. ver. 27. Chap. 14. 15, 16. Chap. 23. 1, 2, 3, 9, 10, 11, 12. Chap. 7. 30, 31, 32. Chap. 15. 1. No people could be more desperately wicked; yet Jeremiah worshipped God with them, commanded Baruch to worship God, and commanded the King, his servants, and the people publicly to worship and hear and believe the word, Chap. 22. 2, 3. v. 5. Chap. 19. 3, 4. Chap. 26. 2. And besides he should have commanded the faithful to separate from such an Idolatrous Church, and not commanded them to hear in the Lords house, and believe and obey. So Ezekiel commandeth a most wicked ⟨p. 136⟩and idolatrous people to join in the public worship, Ezek. 6 2, 3. Chap. 20. 3, 4, 5. Chap. 21. 3, 4. so all the rest of the Prophets.
