1. Take heed of healing the hurt of the daughter of this people slightly, by crying peace, peace, where there is no peace: Take heed of daubing with untempered mortar: Take heed of false visions and causes of banishment: but be faithful in discovering the iniquities and whoredoms of the Land. If they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, 1then they should have turned my people from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings. Behold this is the way to save the Land, speak while ye may speak; and I pray God it be not ultimus singultus morientis libertatis.

2. Stand in the gap with Moses, plead with Elijah, pray and cry with Jeremiah: God hath not yet said to us, pray not for this people, if he had; surely (with reverence be it spoken) we should not believe him: Jeremiah would not; but even after the Lord had enjoined him silence,* pray not for this people, he is at his intercessions again and again, in the 13.19, 20, 21, 22. Verses, and all over his Prophecy. Oh therefore, Ye that make mention of the Lord, ye that are the Lords remembrancers (by special office and designment) give him no rest till he establish and make this our Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
