1That the greatest affliction that should touch the hearts of Gods people, is the affliction of the Church: as is evident out of this text: For when Gods inheritance was spoiled, some put to the sword, others led captive, the temple of God razed, and the exercises of religion abolished, this made them to grieve exceedingly: this was it that wrought upon Jeremiah, and made him break forth into those wishes, Oh that mine head were full of water, 2and that mine eyes were a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people. As if he could not have his fill, nor weep enough for the desolations of Zion, and the miserable overthrow thereof which he foresaw.
