THE ARGVMENT.
After that Iehoiachin by the counsel of Ieremiah and Ezekiel had yeelded himselfe to Nebuchadnezzar,
and so went into captiuitie with his mother and diuers of his princes and of the people, certaine
began to repent and murmure that they had obeied the Prophets counsell, as though the thing which they
had prophecied should not come to passe, and therefore their estate should be still miserable vnder the Caldeans.
By reason whereof he confirmeth his former prophecies, declaring by newe visions and reuelations
shewed vnto him, that the citie shoulde most certainely be destroyed, and the people grieuously tormented
by Gods plagues, insomuch that they that remained, shoulde bee brought into cruell bondage. And lest the
godly should despaire in these great troubles, he assureth them that God will deliuer his Church at his time
appoynted, and also destroy their enemies which either afflicted them, or reioyced in their miseries. The
effect of the one and the other should chiefely be perfourmed vnder Christ, of whom in this booke are many
notable promises, and in whom the glory of the newe Temple should perfectly be restored. He prophecied
these things in Caldea at the same time that Ieremiah prophecied in Iudah, and there began in the fift yere
of Iehoiachins captiuitie.
