Jeremiah 18
Browse · Jeremiah · 18
2! God sheweth by the example of a potter, that it is in his power to destroie the dispicers of his worde.
4a As the potter hathe power ouer the clay to make what pot he wil, or to breake them, when he hathe made them: so haue I power ouer you to do with you as semeth good to me, {Isa. 45, 9}. {wisd 15, 7}, {rom. 9, 20}.
8b When the Scripture attributeth repentance vnto God, it is not that he doeth contrary to that which he hathe ordeined in his secret counsel: but when he trhreateneth, it is a calling to repentance, and when he giueth man grace to repent , the threatening (which euer conteineth a condition in it) taketh no place: and this the Scripture calleth repentance in God, because it so appeareth to mans judgement.
12c As men that had no remorce, but were altogether bent to rebellion and to their owne self wil.
14d As no man that hath thirst, refuseth fresh conduit waters which he hathe at home, to go and seke waters abroad o quench his thirst: so they oght not to seke for helpe & succour at strangers and leaue God which was present with them.
15e That is, the way of trueth, which God had taught by his Law, read {chap. 6, 16}
17f I wil shewe mine angre & not my fauour toward them.
18! The conspiracie of the Jewes against Jeremiah.
18g This argument the wicked haue euer vsed against the seruants of God, The Church can erre: we are the Church, and therefore whosoeuer speaketh against vs, they oght to dye, {1 King. 22, 24, chap. 7, 4 & 20, 2. mala. 2, 4}, and thus the false Church persecuteth the true Church which standeth not in outward pompe, and in multitude, but is knowen by the graces of the holie Gost.
18h Let vs sclander him, and accuse him: for we shalbe beleued.
19! His praier against his aduersaries
21i Seing the obstinate malice of the aduersaries, which grewe daiely more & more, the Prophet being moued with Gods Spirit, without any carnal affection praieth for their destruction, because he knew that it shulde tend to Gods glorie: & profite of his Church.
