Or that in ABAKVK Chap. 2. and charged the bearer SARAYAS ruler of Menucha who was sent from TZEDEKIAâ— to Babel that he shoulde reade the Prophecie at Euphrates then shoulde he tye it to a Stone and cast it into the myddle of Euphrates saying Thus shall Babylon be drowned The lyke are we taught Apo. 18. touching ROME called BABYLON in a mysterie Then a myghty Angell tooke vp a Stone lyke a great Milstone and cast it inâ—o the Sea saying with such violence shal the great citie Babylon be cast and shal be no more found As Ieremy writes to Babylon to keepe Israel in true patience and hope of deliueraunce so false Prophetes in Babylon resisted him One ACHAB and TZEDEKIAS of whom he prophecyeth that Nabuchadnezar will make them an ensample and a byworde of myserably cursed burnyng them in fyre We may be sure so it fell out because they styrred men to fall away from his obedience He that spared not the Chaldeans Dan. 2. would not spare them Also in Babylon there was a man called SAMAIAH who wrote to Ierusalem agaynst Ieremy that he shoulde be clapt vp in Lytle-ease for writyng to Babel that their captiuitie shoulde be long IEREMY from God sendeth him a bitter answere He calleth him a Neclemite which is a Dreamer It may be his family came of NACHAM 1.

Here were also wheeles within wheeles with fellyes full of eyes whereby the creature ruled by an endles foresight ought to be meaned There appeared besydes vpon a Sapphyre throne the lykenes of a man with the sight of fyre myxt with the Raynebowes coloure So Christ sheweth hym selfe afore the ende of ten Calamities named Esa 6. Now Ezekiel in Table Dyet and lying on his Sides betokeneth that Ierusalem by siege and famyne shal be taken wherein note specially the tyme applying a day to a yeere Three hundred and ninetie dayes represent so many yeeres from the fallyng away by IEROBOAM By so many yeeres shall Ierusalem be destroyed and left defolate In the ende of them when you are within fourtie of the last on the other syde was Ezekiel to lye fourty dayes for a new remembraunce of the sinne of IVDAH who shoulde be destroyed as aforesayd and that
when fourtie yeeres shoulde be accomplyshed in the preachyng of Ieremy whom they so much despised Famous woulde God haue the paynes of that his seruaunt The same tyme Ezekiel shauyng his head and partyng the heare sheweth IVDAHS case One part â—he burnt with fyre an other part he cut with a sworde the thyrde part â—he skattered into the wynde One part he bound vp and soone after â—he brent also that part So Israel shoulde peryshe in besiege by famyne pestilence and such dispertion and a small remnaunt for a whyle left with Gedaliah shoulde soone by Ismael come to nothyng The next yeere agayne he seeth the glory of Christ leauyng the Temple the Cherubim accompanying and goyng to Mount Oliuet The lyke forsakyng of the Temple Christ shewed with his Disciples in the dayes of his â—â—eshe Mat. 24. But Iudah knew not God in Christ reconcyling the worlde vnto hym selfe Thus the two yeeres confute Ananias the false Prophet In the seuenth of Tzedekias Ezekiel telleth that Israel brought from the Wildernes into the PLEASANT LANDE shal be brought agayne into the Wildernes of the Heathen Note that to be the name of Chanaan the PLEASANT LANDE in Eze. 20.
