The
description
of
the
Citie
of
Ierusalem
,
as
it
was
before
Titus
Vespasian
destroyed
it
.
THe
most
holy
and
beautiful
city
of
Ierusalem
,
was
twice
destroyed
;
first
by
Nebuchadnezzar
,
the
most
puissant
King
of
Babylon
,
who
did
vtterly
beat
downe
and
ouerthrow
the
Citie
,
burning
the
costly
Temple
,
which
King
Solomon
had
built
.
After
that
,
Zorobabel
and
the
high
Priest
Ioshua
,
when
they
returned
from
the
captiuitie
of
Babylon
,
re-edified
and
built
againe
both
the
Citie
and
the
Temple
,
in
the
yeare
before
the
birth
of
Christ
,
535.
But
the
second
temple
which
was
built
after
their
returne
,
was
neither
so
faire
,
nor
so
great
as
the
first
;
for
it
was

After
that
,
King
Herod
,
17
yeares
before
the
birth
of
Christ
,
caused
the
said
Temple
to
be
broken
downe
againe
(
as
Iosephus
saith
)
and
erected
another
new
Temple
in
place
thereof
,
which
neuerthelesse
was
not
like
the
first
temple
that
Solomon
builded
,
as
touching
the
greatnesse
;
but
it
was
exceeding
fairely
decked
and
adorned
with
gold
and
siluer
,
so
that
in
regard
of
the
beautifulnesse
thereof
,
it
was
a
wonder
vnto
all
that
came
to
Ierusalem
.
Which
Temple
(
40
yeares
after
Christs
death
and
Ascension
)
was
also
vtterly
destroyed
by
Titus
,
the
sonne
of
Flavius
Vespasian
the
Emperour
.
I
will
describe
the
forme
of
the
Citie
Ierusalem
,
as
it
was
before
it
was
defaced
by
Titus
,
the
sonne
of
Vespasian
;
and
therewithall
I
will
shew
,
how
the
costly
Ornaments
,
which
Solomon
placed
therein
,
stood
:
for
,
seeing
that
the
two
brasen
Pillars
and
the
great
Molten
sea
,
were
not
therin
,
when
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
liued
vpon
earth
,
being
broken
downe
by
Nabuchadnezzars
soldiers
,
it
is
therefore
necessary
and
very
requisite
to
bee
knowne
how
they
stood
,
and
to
the
end
that
the
Reader
may
be
fully
satisfied
,
I
will
also
first
declare
the
citie
of
Ierusalem
as
it
was
in
those
dayes
,
with
the
chiefest
Places
,
Walls
,
Towers
,

therein

The
scituation
of
Ierusalem
.
IErusalem
was
foure
square
,
Mount
Sion
was
the
highest
of
all
,
and
lay
within
the
citie
of
Ierusalem
towards
the
South
,
whereon
stood
King
Dauids
house
or

castle
of
Sion

towne
.
Mount
Moriah
,
whereon
the
Temple
stood

the
city
,
within
the
Walls

The
holy
Citie
of
Ierusalem
may
in
this
manner
be
briefely
described
.
THe
most
holy
and
beautifull
Citie
of
Ierusalem
(
if
any
would
consider
the
three
principall
parts
of
the
World
,
After
the
death
of
Melchisedech
,
vnto
whom
Abraham
payd
the
Tythes
of
all
his
goods
,
the
Iebusites
dwelt
in
the
Citie
of
Ierusalem
,
and
had
the
dominion
of
it
,
and
all
the
land
thereabouts
in
their
subjection
,
called
the
City
Iebus
,
after
their
name
;
which
name
was
held
a
long
time
,

,
as
Iosephus
writeth
,
which
three

Furlongs
make
somewhat
more
than
a
Dutch

.
Some
write
that
it
was
foure
miles
compasse
about
,
yet
these
were
not
Dutch
miles
,
but
Wallon
or
Italian
miles
:
for
foure
such
Italian
miles
are
a
Dutch
mile
.
Of
mount
Sion
the
higher
Citie
.
MOunt
Syon
stood
Northwards
in
the
Citie
Ierusalem
,
and
was
much
higher
than
all
the
other
Hills
that
were
therein
,
therefore
it
was
called
Sion
,
that
is
,
a
watch
Tower
▪
because
from
thence
one
might
see
the
Holy
land
,
and
all
the
countries
thereabout
:
vpon
this
Hill
,
the
vpper
Citie
was
built
,
which
in
the
Scripture
is
called
the
City
of
Dauid
,
because
Dauid
wan
it
from
the
Iebusites
,
and
beautified
it
with
many
goodly
houses
,
&
faire
and
costly
buildings
:
but
especially
with
his
house
of
Cedar
wood
,
which
hee
termed
the
castle
of
Sion
,
which
stood
Westwards
at
the
corner
of
the
Hill
,
looking
into
Bethlehem
Southwards
.
In
that
house
Dauid
dwelt
,
and
therein
committed
adulterie
with
Berseba
the
wife
of
Vriah
the
Hittite
;
whose
house
also
with
the
place
of
diuers
priuie
Councellers
and
officers
,
stood
vpon
the
said
Hill
,
not
farre
from
the
Kings
Pallace
,
as
Iosephus
writeth
.
Beneath
King
Dauids
house
,
vpon
Mount
Sion
,
within
a
Rocke
,
there
was
to
be
seene
the
sepulchre
or
vault
wherein
King
Dauid
,
Solomon
his
son
,
and
other
succeeding
Kings
of
Iuda
,
were
entombed
and
buried
.
Vpon
mount
Syon
also
(
towards
the
East
)
King
Herod
had
a
Garden
of
pleasure
,
not
farre
from
the
Fountaine
called
Silo
,
Nemiah
3.
and
there
also
stood
the
Tower
of
Silo
,
whereof
Luke
in
the
13
chapter
maketh
mention
.
Iosephus
(
in
the
warres
of
the
Iewes
,
his
first
book
,
and
sixteenth
chapter
)
saith
,
That
King
Herod
vnder
whom
Christ
Iesus
was
borne
,
had
two
faire
and
strong
houses
or
Towers
,
which
hee
set
and
made
in
the
vpper
part
of
the
City
Ierusalem
,
vpon
mount
Syon
,
which
were
in
a
manner
comparable
with
the
Temple
for
beautifulnesse
,
which
he
called
after
the
name
of
his
friends
;
the
one
Caesarea
,
for
Caesar
the
Emperors
sake
;
and
the
other
Agrippa
,
according
to
the
name
of
the
noble
Roman
Marcus
Agrippa
,
that
married
the
daughter
of
Augustus
Caesar
.
This
may
suffice
to
declare
the
scituation
of
the
vpper
Citie
,
which
stood
vpon
mount
Sion
,
and
conteyned
in
circuit
fifteene
furlongs
,
which
is
about
halfe
a
mile
.
This
vppermost
Citie
,
in
the
sacred
Scripture
is
called
the
Citie
of
Dauid
,
it
was
also
cal-Millo
,
that
is
,
fulnesse
or
plenty
,
for
in
it
there
was
no
want
,
but
aboundance
of
all
things
.
Of
the
steps
which
descended
downe
from
the
citie
of
Dauid
vnto
the
lower
Citie
.
MOunt
Sion
,
whereon
the
vpper
citie
of
Ierusalem
did
stand
,
was
such
a
high
hard
hill
,
and
so
steepe
,
that
no
man
could
climbe
or
ascend
vnto
it
by
any
way
or
meanes
but
only
one
,
that
is
,
by
steps
;
for
in
the
middle
thereof
there
was
a
great
paire
of
staires
made
,
which
descended
from
Dauids
Citie
vnto
the
lower
Citie
,
Iohannes
Heydonius
writeth
;
and
beneath
in
the
valley
of
Thyroreion
,
ouer
against
the
valley
of
Cedron
,
at
the
foot
of
the
staires
stood
a
gate
,
which
was
called
the
gate
of
Sion
;
and
they
which
went
vp
to
mount
Sion
must
passe
through
that
gate
,
and
so
vp
those
staires
:
but
it
is
thought
neuerthelesse
,
that
in
some
other
part
of
the
hill
there
was
some
winding
or
other
oblique
way
made
,
by
which
,
horses
and
chariots
by
little
and
little
might
ascend
.
Allegoricall
or
Spirituall
significations
of
mount
Sion
.
SIon
in
Hebrew
signifieth
a
sure
hold
or
goodly
aspect
;
for
that
from
the
top
thereof
a
man
might
haue
seen
all
the
land
lying
thereabouts
;
and
was
a
type
of
the
highest
heauens
,
or
habitation
of
Almighty
God
,
from
whence
he
beholdeth
all
things
vpon
earth
;
from
which
throne
and
heauenly
habitation
he
descended
into
this
lower
Ierusalem
,
and
became
our
Redeemer
&
Sauiour
,
that
so
we
being
purged
by
his
bloud
,
from
all
our
sinnes
and
imperfections
,
he
might
bring
vs
into
that
heauenly
Ierusalem
which
is
eternall
glorie
.
Of
Mount
Moriah
on
which
the
Temple
stood
.
MOunt
Moriah
stood
Eastward
within
Ierusalem
,
which
was
a
most
hard
stony
hill
,
from
whence
towards
the
rising
of
the
Sunne
,
men
by
staires
might
easily
descend
;
but
round
about
on
the
other
three
sides
it
was
steepe
and
vnapprochable
,
like
a
stone
wall
:
yet
it
was
not
so
high
as
Mount
Sion
,
howbeit
it
was
exceeding
high
,
extending
and
reaching
600
foot
in
height
:
and
on
the
top
thereof
was
a
very
faire
plaine
,
like
vnto
that
of
Mount
Sion
,
whereon
in
times
past
Abraham
builded
an
Altar
,
and
would
haue
offered
his
sonne
Isaac
for
a
Sacrifice
,
Gen.

At
which
time
,
when
Abraham
obeyed
the
commandement
of
God
,
intending
to
haue
offered
his
sonne
Isaac
vpon
the
Hill
,
and
thereon
had
made
an
Altar
,
then
the
said
Hill
lay
without
the
Citie
:
but
long
time
after
,
about
the
space
of
850
yeres
,
when
King
Dauid
had
conquered
Ierusalem
,
and
driuen
thence
the
Iebusites
;
to
enlarge
the
Citie
,
he
compassed
in
Mount
Moriah
and
Mount
Acra
with
a
wall
,
vpon
which
there
stood
many
goodly
buildings
.
And
amongst
other
things
worthy
obseruation
,
vpon
this
Mount
stood
the
Barne

The
description
of
the
Temple
of
Ierusalem
.
THe
Temple
stood
vpon
Mount
Moriah
,
was
fairely
built
,
&
artificially
contriued
,
of
white
Marble
stones
,
which
were
so
well
conjoyned
or
closed
together
,
that
a
man
could
not
see
or
perceiue
the
junctures
or
crests
of
them
:
and
the
inner
Walls
of
it
were
made
all
of
Cedar
wood
,
carued
with
the
similitude
of
Angels
,
Cherubins
,
roots
of
Palme
trees
,
and
with
floures
of
diuers
kindes
,
gilt
all
ouer
with
pure
gold
,
and
set
with
pretious
stones
;
insomuch
that
all
parts
of
the
vpper
roofe
within
the
Temple
,
did
shine
with
the
lustre
of
it
.
The
pauement
thereof
also
was
plated
all
ouer
with
fine
Gold
;
so
that
all
the
Temple
within
,
both
aboue
,
vnder
foot
,
and
on
euery
side
and
corner
thereof
,
was
gilt
cleane
ouer
:
but
without
it
was
of
smooth
polisht
white
marble
stone
,
excellently
beautifull
,
and
faire
to
the
eye
,
The
roofe
thereof
was
made
of
thin
planks
of
Oliue
wood
,
all
couered
ouer
with
plates
of
gold
:
it
was
adorned
with
sharp
and
plaine
spikes
of
gold
,
lest
birds
should
defile
it
with
their
doung
.
When
any
man
trauelled
to
Ierusalem
,
and
saw
the
temple
farre
off
when
the
Sunne
shined
thereon
,
the
white
marble
stones
and
the
golden
roofe
therof
;
did
cast
such
a
light
and
reflexing
brightnesse
from
them
,
that
it
did
make
the
beholders
eyes
darke
and
blind
with
looking
vpon
it
.
Within
the
Temple
there
was
the
most
sacred
Quire
,
which
stood
at
the
West
end
therof
,
the
which
Quire
was
formed
foure
square
,
that
is
,
twenty
ells
broad
,
long
,
and
high
.
This
Quire
was
called
the
Holy
of
Holiest
,
wherein
it
was
lawfull
for
no
man
to
enter
,
but
the
high
Priest
,
and
he
also
but
once
in
a
yeare
,
which
was
on
the
Feast
day
of
the
Propitiatory
Sacrifice
,
to
appease
Gods
wrath
.
In
the
middle
part
of
the
Quire
there
stood
two
Cherubins
,
made
of
Oliue
wood
,
couered
all
ouer
with
fine
gold
,
whose
Faces
and
Formes
were
like
vnto
young
Children
;
the
height
of
them
was
ten
ells
;
each
of
them
had
two
wings
,
which
were
fiue
els
broad
;
they
stood
one
right
against
the
other
,
so
that
with
the
innermost
wings
they
touched
together
,
and
the
vttermost
sides
of
the
wings
touched
the
sides
of
the
Quire
:
their
faces
looked
wards
the
East
:
in
the
middle
vnder
the
wings
of
the
Cherubins
was
placed
the
Arke
of
the
Couenant
;
but
after
the
Babylonian
captiuity
the
Ark
of
the
Couenant
stood
no
more
there
;
for
then
the
Holy
of
holiest
was
empty
,
and
nothing
seene
in
the
second
Temple
but
the
two
Cherubims
,
as
is
aforesaid
.
The
wall
of
this
Quire
was
of
pure
gold
,
excellent
faire
and
curiously
grauen
:
In
this
wal
of
the
most
holy
quire
there
was
a
gate
made
all
of
gold
which
had
two
leaues
or
little
dores
that
opened
&
shut
,
very
curiously
embossed
;
through
which
dores
men
went
into
the
most
holy
Quire
,
where
the
Lord
did
answer
by
Vrim
and
Thummim
;
there
the
Cherubims
stood
,
and
before
that
gate
there
did
hang
a
rich
Vaile
or
Curtain
which
was
made
of
fine
silke
,
wouen
very
artificially
,
wherein
there
was
wrought
the
picture
of
the
Cherubims
,
with
Needle-worke
of
diuers
colours
.
This
was
the
same
Vaile
which
at
the
passion
of
Christ
did
rent
in
sunder
from
the
top
to
the
bottom
;
to
shew
that
then
Aarons
Leuiticall
Sacrifices
were
abolished
,
and
now
euery
man
may
freely
approch
(
thorow
the
mercy
of
his
dearly
beloued
Sonne
)
vnto
the
presence
of
Gods
heauenly
Throne
.
Before
the
most
sacred
Quire
there
was
builded
towards
the
East
a
place
within
the
Temple
containing
forty
Ells
in
length
,
twenty
in
bredth
and
thirty
in
height
,
closed
vp
on
both
sides
with
golden
walls
,
which
was
called
the
Holy
place
or
Sanctuarie
of
the
Temple
,
wherein
no
man
might
enter
but
onely
the
Priest
,
when
hee
offered
Incense
,
and
prayed
vnto
God
.
In
the
middle
of
that
Holy
place
there
stood
an
Altar
,
couered
with
plates
of
gold
;
neere
vnto
which
the
Angel
Gabriel
appeared
vnto
Zacharias
,
and
brought
him
the
glad
tydings
,
That
Elizabeth
his
wife
should
beare
him
sonne
whose
name
should
be
Iohn
,
who
should
prepare
the
way
of
Christ
.
At
the
South
end
of
this
Altar
vpon
the
one
side
stood
the
holy
Candlestickes
,
and
at
the
other
end
on
the
other
side
stood
a
golden
Table
whereupon
the
Shew
bread
was
set
.
And
in
this
holy
place
there
stood
ten
Tables
more
for
the
meat
Offerings
,
and
ten
golden
Candlestickes
more
,
which
were
beautified
with
Lamps
,
Lillies
,
and
other
faire
floures
.
The
opening
doores
whereby
men
went
into
the
Holy
place
were
also
very
rich
and
costly
,
made
of
gold
,
with
carued
Cherubims
,
Palm
trees
,
and
broad
flours
thereupon
.
And
before
those
dores
also
there
were
hanging
vailes
or
curtaines
,
very
curiously
wrought
.
On
both
sides
of
the
Temple
there
were
certain
Walks
or
Galleries
,
which
were
three
stories
high
one
aboue
an
other
,
and
on
the
right
side
there
stood
a
paire
of
turning
staires
,
by
the
which
men
went
vp
to
the
Chamber
of
the
Temple
,
and
there
all
the
small
Vessels
and
other
things
belonging
to
the
Temple
were
kept
.
The
roofes
of
these
Galleries
were
all
plated
ouer
with
gold
,
but
that
part
was
somewhat
lower
than
the
principall
part
of
the
Temple
.
The
Windowes
of
the
Temple
were
wide
within
and
narrow
without
.
The
gates
of
the
Temple
were
made
of
pure
gold
,
fiue
and
twenty
Ells
high
,
and
sixteene
Ells
broad
;
but
especially
the
gate
that
stood
Eastward
in
the
Temple
was
exceeding
high
,
which
in
the
second
Booke
of
Kings
,
cap.
25.
is
called
the
High
gate
:
and
as
Iosephus
saith
,
the
sayd
gate
was
90
Ells
high
,
the
doores
whereof
were
forty
Ells
long
and
twenty
Ells
broad
,
gilt
all
ouer
,
and
richly
embossed
,
beautified
with
Cherubims
and
pretious
stones
.
The
wall
before
this
gate
towards
the
East
was
pure
gold
,
embost
and
curiously
ingrauen
in
maner
of
Vines
,
with
great
golden
leaues
as
big
as
the
stature
of
a
man
,
whereon
there
did
hang
the
picture
and
forme
of
grapes
,
which
were
made
of
fine
Crystall
.
Within
that
high
gate
also
there
did
hang
a
Vaile
or
Curtaine
as
long
and
broad
as
the
gate
within
:
This
Vaile
was
made
of
a
piece
of
Babylonian
Tapistry
,
wonderfully
wrought
,
and
made
of
Silke
,
beautified
with
diuers
colours
,
of
Scarlet
,
Purple
,
and
Velvet
;
and
as
Iosephus
writeth
,
the
Sphere
of
the
heauens
was
wrought
therein
,
but
the
twelue
Signes
were
not
,
and
when
the
winde
blew
,
the
Vaile
did
moue
like
a
Vane
.
Of
the
Porches
or
open
Courts
of
the
Temple
.
BEfore
the
high
gate
of
the
Temple
towards
the
East
there
were
three
Porches
or
Courts
open
without
roofes
,
which
were
made
all
of
polisht
stone
with
fair
marble
pillars
,
beautified
with
all
kind
of
colours
,
in
which
Porches
men
praised
and
serued
God
.
The
first
was
called
the
vpper
Porch
,
where
none
but
the
priest
might
enter
when
he
offered
and
serued
God
;
which
porch
stood
next
vnto
the
high
Quire
.
The
second
was
called
Solomons
Hall
or
Porch
;
there
the
people
vsed
to
pray
,
and
in
that
court
our
Sauior
Christ
preached
,
Iohn
10.
The
third
porch
King
Herod
built
,
adding
that
therto
for
the
heathen
people
which
also
came
vnto
Ierusalem
to
pray
.
These
three
porches
went
foure
square
round
about
the
Temple
,
as
the
Temple
it selfe
was
,
and
betweene
these
porches
there
were
also
spaces
left
,
supported
with
pillars
of
marble
,
and
close
aboue
the
head
for
men
to
walke
vnder
when
it
rained
,
which
were
all
made
of
Cedar
and
Cypresse
wood
,
and
of
marble
stone
beautified
with
gold
.
But
towards
the
East
,
right
ouer
against
the
high
Quire
of
the
Temple
,
there
the
Porches
were
broadest
and
greatest
.
Here
gentle
Reader
you
must
note
,
that
as
often
as
in
the
Description
of
the
Temple
I
speake
of
certain
Ells
,
you
must
not
vnderstand
such
Ells
as
we
vse
here
in
our
Countrey
,
but
only
of
the
Geometrical
ells
or
elbowes
,
which
are
called
Cubits
,
being
the
length
of
one
foot
and
a
halfe
or
six
hands
in
bredth
,
and
two
such
Ells
or
Cubits
doe
containe
three
foot
,
which
make
a
yard
of
our
measure
.
The
first
Temple
,
which
King
Solomon
built
,
had
but
two
Porches
,
as
also
the
second
Temple
which
Zorobabel
&
Ioshuah
or
Iesu
the
son
of
Iozedeck
made
after
the
captiuitie
in
Babylon
;
but
that
was
twenty
cubits
lower
,
and
inclosed
about
with
two
porches
also
.
But
King
Herod
Ascalonita
the
great
King
of
the
Iewes
,
son
of
Antipater
Idumaeus
,
16
yeares
before
the
birth
of
Christ
pulled
down
that
Temple
,
and
built
a
new
Temple
vp
from
the
ground
,
which
was
like
to
Solomons
Temple
,
but
that
it
had
three
porches
:
for
Herod
built
the
third
Porch
to
the
intent
that
the
heathen
people
might
pray
therein
,
as
a
sanctuarie
for
pilgrims
and
strangers
,
as
Iosephus
writeth
,
Antiq.
Iud
lib.
21
,
ca.
14.
&
de
Bello
Iudaeo
,
lib.
6.
ca.

Item
Egesippus
,

cap.
35
,
36.
But
some
do
thinke
,
which
is
more
likely
,
that
the
said
Herod
did
but
repaire
and
add
buildings
to
the
second
Temple
.
And
where
Iosephus
,
lib.
2.
contra
Appionem
,
writeth
of
four
Porches
,
whereas
principally
there
were
but
three
;
it
is
to
be
vnderstood
that
Solomons
Portch
was
made
with
a
wall
in
the
middle
thereof
,
wherein
on
the
North
side
the
Iewish
women
that
were
vnspotted
or
vndefiled
vsed
to
pray
;
and
on
the
other
side
(
being
South
)
the
Iewish
women
who
also
according
to
the
Law
were
vnspotted
,
prayed
;
as
Iosephus
saith
,
lib.

de
Bello

.
A
particular
description
of
the
three
seuerall
Porches
or
Courts
belonging
to
the
Temple
.
IN
the
vpper
Porch
which
stood
right
ouer
against
the
high
Quire
in
the
Temple
,
there
was
an
Altar
of
brrasse
proportioned
foure
square
,
consisting
of
twenty
cubits
in
length
,
&
twenty
cubits
in
bredth
,
extending
to
ten
cubits
in
height
,
beautified
with
golden
hornes
,
whereon
they
vsed
to
offer
burnt
sacrifices
of
Oxen
,
Sheepe
,
Turtle
Doues
,
Calues
,
and
other
things
.
Also
in
times
past
there
stood
the
great
molten
Sea
made
by
King
Solomon
,
and
the
two
brasen
Pillars
which
were
made
with
knobbes
,
Pomegranats
,
and
Lillies
,
very
costly
and
most
artificially
done
;
and
ten
Kettles
vpon
Treuets
;
but
those
kettles
and
pillars
with
knobs
and
pomegranats
,
and
the
great
molten
Sea
made
by
King
Solomon
,
were
carried
away
by
Nabuchadnezzar
King
of
Babylon
,
and
broken
in
pieces
;
after
which
captiuity
they
were
neuer
seen
more
in
the
Temple
,
for
there
were
no
more
made
.
But
the
Altar
of
Brasse
with
the
great
hornes
,
whereon
they
offered
oxen
,
sheep
and
Doues
,
was
made
againe
and
stood
there
,
as
I
said
before
,
by
which
there
stood
diuers
Tables
whereon
they
killed
their
Offerings
.
In
this
Court
also
there
was
a
goodly
Fountaine
,
with
the
Water
whereof
they
vsed
to
wash
the
bloud
of
the
beasts
out
of
the
Temple
.
For
there
were
certaine
holes
and
gutters
between
the
marble
stones
,
whereby
the
water
ranne
vnder
the
earth
,
and
through
the
earth
was
conueyed
in
a
pipe
into
the
Lake
Kidron
.
In
this
Court
Zacharias
the
sonne
of
Barrachias
was
killed
,
betweene
the
Temple
and
the
Altar
,
Mat.
23.
And
Zacharias
the
high
priest
the
sonne
of
Ioiadah
was
stoned
to
death
,
2
Chron.
24.
It
was
compassed
about
with
a
great
wall
made
of
Marble
stone
of
diuers
colours
,
wherein
there
were
diuers
doores
to
goe
out
out
and
in
,
decked
with
lofty
towers
and
pleasant
walks
made
of
Cedar
wood
,
resembling
our
antient
Cloisters
.
But
principally
toward
the
East
it
had
a
great
gate
of
seuenty
Ells
or
cubits
high
and
twenty
fiue
broad
,
all
couered
ouer
with
gold
(
as
Iosephus
writeth
)
standing
alwayes
open
,
without
any
doores
to
shut
,
that
euery
man
might
looke
into
it
when
the
Priest
serued
God
.
If
any
man
offered
any
thing
,
he
brought
it
to
the
Priest
before
the
gate
,
but
might
not
go
in
himselfe
.
Ieremy
,
Chap.
26
and
36
,
calleth
it
the
New
gate
.
Here
also
was
the
Chappel
of
Gemaria
the
sonne
of
Saphan
,
in
which
Chappell
Baruch
read
the
booke
of
the
Prophet
Ieremy
to
the
people
,
Ieremy
36.
And
when
the
Sunne
was
in
Capricorne
it
shone
right
in
at
that
gate
,
and
through
the
high
Quire
of
the
Temple
to
the
Holy
of
Holiest
(
as
Iosephus
writeth
.
Of
the
second
or
middle
Court
called
Solomons
Porch
.
THis
Court
was
something
lower
than
the
other
,
for
from
it
to
the
vppermost
they
went
by
certaine
steps
,
and
in
the
tenth
of
Iohn
is
called
Solomons
Porch
;
which
(
as
Iosephus
writeth
)
was
parted
in
the
middle
with
a
Wall
,
wherein
on
the
North
side
the
Iewish
women
that
were
clean
and
vndefiled
vsed
to
pray
,
and
on
the
South
the
men
,
according
to
the
Law
[

:
But
no
vnclean
person
,
or
stranger
,
or
heathen
,
might
enter
therein
;
for
on
the
East
side
thereof
,
before
the
steps
whereon
men
ascended
into
the
said
porch
,
there
stood
a
portall
curiously
made
of
marble
stone
,
and
between
it
stood
pillars
of
marble
,
whereon
was
ingrauen
in
Hebrew
,
Greeke
,
Latine
,
and
Idumaean
Tongues
,
this
sentence
,
Omnis
alienigena
accidens
ad
habitaculum
Domini
moriatur
;
That
is
,
If
any
stranger
go
into
the
house
of
God
he
shall
surely
die
.
And
Herod
also
caused
to
be
hanged
ouer
the
Easterne
gate
by
which
they
came
into
this
Court
,
a
golden
Sword
,
with
this
Inscription
,
Peregrinus
si
fuerit
ingressus
moriatur
;
That
is
,
If
a
Stranger
be
so
bold
to
enter
,
let
him
die
.
So
as
no
Stranger
or
Heathen
might
goe
into
Solomons
Porch
vpon
danger
of
his
life
.
Here
Simeon
tooke
the
childe
Iesus
in
his
armes
and
sayd
,
Lord
let
now
thy
seruant
depart
in
peace
according
to
thy
word
,
for
mine
eyes
haue
seen
thy
saluation
,
&c.
At
the
same
time
also
the
Prophetesse
Anna
the
daughter
of
Phaneul
,
of
the
tribe
of
Ashur
,
made
a
notable
prophesie
of
the
child
Iesus
to
all
the
people
of
Israel
,
Luk.
2.
and
after
Iesus
was
baptised
,
in
this
place
he
taught
,
wrought
miracles
,
and
did
many
worthy
and
memorable
actions
.
The
Apostles
also
commonly
met
together
in
this
court
,
&
here
the
holy-Ghost
descended
vpon
them
.
Here
stood
the
Treasury
which
Heliodorus
thought
to
haue
robbed
,
but
was
preuented
by
the
Angel
of
God
,
2
Mac.

This
was
the
same
Treasury
wherein
the
poore
widow
cast
the
two
mites
,
whom
Christ
commended
for
the
same
as
appeares
Mark
12.
Vpon
which
S.
Ambrose
saith
,
Deny
not
to
cast
two
mites
into
this
Treasury
,
that
is
,
Faith
and
Grace
,
sith
by
them
thou
shalt
be
made
capable
of
a
celestial
kingdom
;
neither
flatter
thy self
with
thy
riches
,
because
thou
canst
giue
more
than
the
poore
,
for
God
respects
not
how
much
,
but
with
what
deuotion
thou
giuest
thy
reward

And
here
Christ
absolued
the
Adulteresse
that
was
accused
to
him
,
being
sory
for
her
offence
;
saying
,
I
came
not
to
condemne
,
but
to
saue
sinners
that
repent
.
Vpon
which
S.
Chrysostom
saith

Although
thou
art
a
publican

yet
thou
maist

made
an
Evangelist

though
a
persecuter
of
the

,
yet
an
Apostle
;
though
a

,
yet
of
the
city
of
Paradise

though

Not
far
from
this
Treasury
there
stood
certain
galleries
curiously
adorned
with
marble
pillars
,
the
root
whereof
was
plaited
with
siluer
and
gold
,
and
was
close
aboue
the
head
,
that
when
it
rained
,
men
might
walke
vnder
them
dry
,
and
indeed
did
much
resemble
our
antient
Monasteries
.
The
dores
of
these
walks
were
couered
ouer
with
gold
and
siluer
;
so
also
was
that
high
gate
whereby
men
went
Eastward
into
Solomons
porch
,
and
was
50
cubits
high
,
and
the
dores
forty
,
as
Iosephus
writeth
.
Of
the
third
Court
or
porch
,
wherein
the
heathens
vsed
to
pray
,
commonly
called
the
Hall
of
the
Gentiles
,
or
outward
Court
.
THis
court
was
not
built
by
the
kings
of
Israel
,
but
by
Herod
,
when
the
rest
of
the
Temple
was
re-edified
,
some
sixteene
yeares
before
the
birth
of
Christ
,
and
about
six
and
forty
before
he
began
to
preach
,
Iohn

It
was
so
spatious
and
sumptuously
built
that
it
amased
the
beholders
,
containing
an
hundred
cubits
in
bredth
,
and
seuen
hundred
and
twenty
cubits
in
length
,
lying
Eastward
towards
the
brooke
Kidron
:
the
pauement
was
of
marble
of
diuers
colours
,
like
the
other
Courts
,
the
walls
with
the
marble
pillars
were
fiue
and
twenty
cubits
high
,
and
the
Walkes
about
it
very
curiously
made
were
thirty
cubits
broad
.
This
was
called
Vestabulum
Gentium
,
where
the
heathens
as
well
as
the
Iews
might
enter
and
pray
.
Out
of
this
place
Christ
draue
the
Buyers
and
Sellers
,
ouerthrew
the
tables
of
the
Money
changers
,
and
the

of
those
that

And
it
stood
something
lower
than
Solomons

All
these
three
Courts
were
inclosed
within
high
walls
and
walks
,
resembling
our
Cloisters
,
where
round
about
the
Temple
,
at
euery
corner
of
which
stood
very
high
Towers
,
whereon
when
the
Sabbath
day
came
,
one
of
the
Priests
ouer
might
went
and
sounded
a
Trumpet
,
to
signifie
that
the
next
day
was
the
Sabbath
(
for
then
there
were
no
bells
.
)
The
wall
of
this
vttermost
Court
(
as
Iosephus
writeth
)
was
in
height
(
reckoning
from
the
bottom
to
the
Valley
of
Kidron
)
foure
hundred
cubits
,
and
adorned
with
goodly
Towers
,
vpon

Pinnacles
of
which
were

Summer
houses
and
faire
Walkes
,
from
whence
men
might
see
into

,
and
cleane
ouer

These
were
called
the
Pinnacles
of
the
Temple
,
and
were
so
high
,
that
when
one
looked
down
from
them
into
the
valley
,
their
eies
dazled
in
such
maner
that
they

The

towards

was
thirty
cubits

and
had
dores
opening
two

,
15
cubits
broad
(
as

made

pure

that

,
artificially
made

and
cunningly

insomuch
as
it
was

by
this
gate

healed
a
man
that
had
beene
borne

from
his
mothers

Acts

When
a
man
went
Eastward
the
Gates
were
one
higher
than
another
.
The
first
gate
or
the
gate
of
the
Heathens
Court
was
thirty
Cubits
high
.
The
second
that
entred
into
Solomons
Porch
was
50
cubits
:
the
third
which
went
into
the
highest
&
last
court
was
70
cubits
:
and
the
great
high
gate
of
the
temple
was
ninety
Cubits
high
,
so
that
euery
gate
of
the
Temple
was
twenty
Cubits
one
higher
than
another
:
And
in
these
gates
there
were
benches
made
for
men
to
sit
on
.
There
were
many
other
Gates
and
doores
on
both
sides
,
some
sixty
,
some
twenty
Cubits
broad
,
all
almost
made
of
pure
gold
,
and
of
such
weightinesse
,
that
(
as
Iosephus
writeth
in
his
second
booke
to
Appius
)
two
hundred
men
could
scarce
open
and
shut
them
.
Egisippus
writeth
,
That
Vespasian
comming
before
the
Temple
to
assault
it
,
commanded
his
Souldiors
to
burne
one
of
the
golden
Gates
(
which
then
was
shut
)
that
so
he
might
ouercome
the
same
,
and
with
strong
hand
carry
away
a
most
glorious
Victorie
.
For
it
was
wonderfully
fortified
both
by
Nature
and
Art
;
it
had
deepe
Ditches
,
loftie
Towers
like
vnto
Castles
of
defence
;
and
moreouer
,
compassed
about
with
Bulwarkes
and
strong
walls
,
insomuch
that
it
was
not
possible
to
be
won
but
with
extreme
difficultie
and
great
labour
.
When
the
Gate
was
fired
,
the
gold
that
ran
from
it
was
in
great
aboundance
:
and
by
this
meanes
the
Conquest
was
made
easie
.
This

haue
spoken
of

the

.
The
Allegoricall
or
Spirituall
meaning
of

.
THe
terrestriall
Temple
built
by
Solomon
was
partly
a
Figure
of
our
Sauiour
Christ
,
and
partly
of
his
Church
.
For
when
the
Sonne
of

the
Temple
of

to
be
destroyed
,
and
was

again
from

The

was
neither
subiect
to
putrifaction
,
nor
possible
to
be
deuoured

The

THe
Temple

is
a
figure
of
the
heauenly
glory
,
&
of
euerlasting
life
to
come
,
where
the
Angels
and
Cherubims
beeing
ingrauen
and
pictured
to
the

of

,
do
represent
the

The
two
Cherubims
placed
vpon

in
the
holy
Quire
,
signifie
the
old

,
which
containes
the
Doctrine
of

:
and
as
their

for

so
likewise
is
it
in

The
mysterie
of
the
golden
Candlesticks
.
THe
golden
Candlestick
with
six
branches
and

signifies
Christ

the
Ministers
of

the

of

The
Doctors

Teachers
of
the
church
are
the
branches
by
whom
Christ
inlightneth
his
church
with
the
sound
and
vncorruptible
doctrine
of
the
Gospel
,
Apoc.

Neither
ought
they
to
be
separated
from
Christ
,
but
by
the
light
of
their
doctrine
and
sincere
conuersation
be
a
lanthorn
vnto
our
feet
,
Psal.
119.
that
so
their
works
may
return
to
his
glory
and
the
good
of
his
church
.
And
as
all
the
branches
were
vnited
into
the
body
of
the
Candlestick
,
so
euery
Minister
and
faithfull
child
of
God
ought
to
be
vnited
into
the
body
of
Christ
,
without
any
schismaticall
dissention
or
separation
.
The
floures
and
lillies
denote
the
ornaments
and
graces
of
the
holy
Spirit
,
which
Christ
hath
bountifully
bestowed
vpon
his
Ministers

The
Lights
and
lamps
do
admonish
all
godly
Ministers
to
a
diligent
care
,
lest
the
light
of
Gods
diuine
word
should
either
by
mens
traditions
,
or
carnal
and
philosophical
opinions
,
be
either
diminished
,
or
by
little
and
little
abolished
:
but
as
often
as
such
things
happen
,
with
the
sincere
doctrine
of
the
Gospel
to
be
purged
and
preserued
.
The

of

Table
.
THe
golden
Table
wheron
the
Shew
bread
stood
,
being
compassed
about

signifies
the
ministerie
of
the

For
the
bread
that

Christ
that
Bread
of
Life
which

out
of

,
Iohn

and
hee
by
the
ministry
of
the
twelve
Apostles
is
mystically
offered

in
the
Sacrament
of
the
Lords
Supper
,
that
whosoeuer
eateth
thereof
as
they
ought
might
haue
eternal

.
The
Frankincense
that
stood
by
the
bread
admonisheth
vs
,
that
earnest
prayers
and
godly
actions
are
to
be
vsed
in
the
time
of
the
administring
of
the
Lords
supper
.
For
as
Macarius
saith
,
If
the
diuel
was
as
strong
as
mountaines
,
yet
at
the
prayers
of
the
Saints
he
melteth
as
wax

And
S.
Cyril
saith
,
That

the
Table
vpon
which
the
bread
of

is
set
,
whereby
all
the
Faithfull

vnto

And
the

wherby

S.
Ierom

The
mysterie
of
the

Vine
and
the
Crystall
grapes
.
THe
Vine
in
the
East
part
of

made
of
shining

,
fitly
resembles
our
Sauiour
Christ
,
who

vnto
a
Vine
,
and
the
Faithfull
vnto
the

,
saying
,
I

Vine
,
and
whosoeuer
is
ingraffed
into
me
shal
haue

The
Crystall
grapes
do

That

so
Christ
for
the
saluation

slain
and
made
a
free-will
Offering
;
by
whose
bloud
and

the

The
mysterie
of
the
middle
Court
.
SOlomons
Court
,
wherein
Christ
taught
,
and
in
which
the
Iewes
vsed
commonly
to
pray
,
was
a
figure
of
that
Church
which
should
be
gathered
from
amongst
the
Iewes
.
For
from
thence
he
indeauoured
first
to
assemble
and
gather
together
a
Christian
congregation
,
according
to
that
which
he
spake
to
the
Canaanitish
woman
,
Mat.

I
am
sent
only
to
the
lost
Sheep
of
the
house
of
Israel
.
Of
the
outward
Court
of
the
Gentiles
.
THis
Court
signified
,
That
the
Gentiles
also
should
partake
of
the
sheepfold
and
congregation
of
Christ
,
and
be
members
of
his
holy
Church
;
according
to
that
of
Iohn
10.
I
haue
yet
other
Sheepe
which
I
must
also
bring
hither
,
that
so
there
might
be
one

Of
the
rest
of
the
memorable
Buildings
standing
vpon
mount
Moriah
.
HAuing
thus
described
the
temple
,
together
with
the
seueral
courts
&
ornaments
,
al
which
did
typically
represent
Christ
&
his
church
,
I
wil
now
proceed
to
the
rest
of
the
buildings
standing
vpon
mount
Moriah
.
The
first
and
most
memorable
was
the
house
of
Solomon
,
which
stood
iust
against
the
Temple
vpon
the
South
:
it
shined
so
with
gold
and
siluer
,
&
was
so
stately
and
sumptuously
built
,
that
when
queene
Saba
came
to
Ierusalem
she
stood
amased
to
see
it
.
There
belonged
to
it
diuers
Courts
and
Walkes
,
in
one
of
which
the
Prophet
Ieremy
was
prisoner
,
Ier.
37.
Ouer
against
this
he
made
the
Iudgement
hall
,
in
which
hee
placed
the
Ivory
Chaire
spoken
of
1
Kin.
10.
He
built
by
that
another
house
for
his
Queen
,
she
that
was
daughter
of
Pharaoh
,
1
Kin.
7.
But
when
Nebuchadnezzar
conquered
Ierusalem
,
all
these
together
with
the
Temple
were
burnt
and
vtterly
defaced
.
Of
the
Poole
of
Bethesda
.
VPon
the
North
lay
that
sheepfold
o●
sequestred
place
called
Bethesda
,
Ioh.
5.
which
hath
fiue
porches
or
Xenodochius
,
as
some
would
haue
it
:
here
Cattell
came
to
drinke
,
and
the
Priests
vsed
to
wash
their
Sacrifices
;
because
no
vncleane
beast
might
come
within
the
Temple
,
nor
any
thing
that
was
foule
or
spotted
be
offered
vpon
the
Altar
.
The
water
was
of
reddish
colour
,
and
ran
into
that
place
in
great
aboundance
,
and
therefore
it
was
called
the
house
of
effusion
or
pouring
out
.
This
was
the
place
into
which
the
Angel
of
God
sometimes
descended
and
troubled
the
water
,
after
which
whosoeuer
stepped
in
was
presently
cured
:
and
heere
our
Sauiour
Christ
healed
the
man
that
had
beene
diseased
38
years
,
Ioh.
5.
This
place
was
made
by
King
Hezekiah
,
who
caused
the
water
of
the
vppermost
poole
,
which
was
called
Gihon
,
not
far
from
mount
Calvary
,
to
be
conueied
by
pipes
&
passages
through
the
earth
,
into
the
lower
city
called
Acra
,
and
so
fel
into
this
place
,
for
which
cause
it
was
called
the
lower
poole
.
The
Allegorie
or
mysterie
hereof
is
,
That
euery
one
of
Christs
Sheepe
ought
to
be
washed
in
the
poole
of
his
bloud
,
before
they
can
be
made
fit
sacrifices
to
enter
into
his
Temple
or
church

there
was
builded
a

strong

Of
Mount
Acra
and
the
buildings
vpon
it
.
MOunt
Acra
(
as
is
aforesaid
)
stood
vpon
the
West
side
of
Ierusalem
;
it
was
a
very
high
mountain
,
and
tooke
that
name
from
the
Greeke
word
Acra
,
a
sharpe
or
high
hill
.
It
was
much
higher
than
mount
Moriah
in
times
past
,
till
Simon
,
Iudas
Machabeus
brother
,
caused
it
to
be
cut
lower
,
to
make
it
equall
in
height
with
mount
Moriah
.
Between
these
two
hils
lay
the
vally
Cedron
,
which
was
in
profunditie
400
cubits
.
Vpon
this
Mountain
another
part
of
the
city
was
builded
,
beeing
strongly
fortified
and
richly
adorned
with
sumptuous
houses
,
of
which
Dauid
and
Solomon
were
the
principal
founders
;
and
was
called
the
lower
city
,
or
the
daughter
of
Sion
.
It
was
so
beautiful
,
that
some
hold
(
of
which
number
are
Egesippus
and
Eusebius
)
that
it
exceeded
the
rest
of
the
city

Here
stood

which
Queene
beeing
conuerted
to
the
Iewish
Religion
,
built
her
an
house
in
this
City
,
that
shee
might
pray
in
the
Temple
.
Here
stood
the
houses
of
her
sonnes
Monobazius
and
Grapta
:
here
stood
the
houses
of
the
high
priests
Annas
and
Caiaphas
,
not
far
from
the
valley
Tyropae
;
King
Herod
also
that
wicked
man
,
who
caused
the
innocent
Children
to
be
put
to
death
,
built
him
an
house
heere
,
neere
about
the
place
where
the
Machabees
in
times
past
had
a
Castle
;
(
for
they
built
two
,
one
in
mount
Moriah
,
another
in
this
Mount
.
)
That
in
mount
Moriah
was
after
called
the
Castle
of
Antonia
,
and
stood
right
against
the
Temple
,
as
is
aforesaid
.
And
this
being
very
sumptuously
built
,
and
a
Royall
seat
,
was
after
the
death
of
this
Herod
a
Palace
for
his
Successors
Archilaus
and
Herod
Agrippa
.
Not
farre
off
he
caused
two
faire
Theatres
to
be
also
built
;
the
one
in
honour
of
the
Emperour
Augustus
;
and
this
on
the
one
side
joined
to
a
tower
called
Acropolis
(
which
was
built
by
Antigonus
Epiphanes
,
on
a
purpose
to
place
a
Garrison
in
,
to
keepe
the
Iewes
in
bondage
;
which
Iudas
Machabeus
afterwards
made
leuel
with
the
ground
)
and
on
the
other
side
towards
his
owne
Pallace
.
It
resembled
a
semi-Circle
,
made
all
of
white
Marble
fairely
polished
,
the
building
somewhat
low
;
within
full
of
high
bankes
one
rising
aboue
another
like
Scaffolds
,
so
that
the
whole
multitude
might
easily
heare
or
see
whatsoeuer
was
said
or
done
.
It
was
curiously
beautified
with
gold
,
siluer
,
and
many
goodly
pictures
;
but
amongst
the
rest
,
the
battailes
which
the
Emperour
Augustus
had
woon
against
his
people
were
liuely
pourtrayed
.
To
this
place
as
well
Iews
as
Gentiles
resorted
to
see
Interludes
and
Playes
acted
.
The
other
was
an
Amphitheatre
,
and
stood
vpon
the
South
side
of
the
house
:
it
was
built
round
in
a
whole
circle
,
compassed
about
with
high
walls
large
and
spatious
.
Here
they
vsed
to
fence
and
to
fight
both
on
horse-backe
and
in
Waggons
.
And
in
the
fifth
yere
,
in
honor
of
Augustus
,
the
circensian
games
,
according
to
the
Rites
of
the
Gentiles
,
were
very
sumptuously
performed
.
On
the
South
side
of
this
Amphitheater
,
stood
queen
Bernice
house
,
Sister
to
Agrippa
junior
:
it
was
a
very
faire
and
sumptuous
Building
little
inferiour
to
King
Herods
.
This
stood
in
the
market
place
,
and
so
all
along
were
very
sumptuous
and
stately
Pillars
.
Heere
Agrippa
himselfe
had
also
an
house
,
and
ouer
against
that
vpon
the
North
stood
the
Iudgement
hall
,
where
the
Sanhedrim
or
the
Councell
of
the
seuenty
Elders
vsed
to
meet
,
to
heare
and
determine
of
mens
causes
.
To
this
place
Christ
was
brought
when
they
asked
him
if
he
was
Christ
,
Luke
22.
Here
were
the
Apostles
whipt
,
Acts
5.
and
close
by
this
stood
the
house
of
Pilat
the
Pretor
,
fairely
glistering
with
gold
,
in
which
house
all
the
Romane
Pretors
and
Presidents
for
the
most
part
had
their
residence
:
and
here
our
Sauiour
Christ
was
whipt
,
crowned
with
Thornes
,
and
spit
vpon
.
Not
far
off
from
this
Pretors
house
stood
the
Chancerie
,
or
rather
as
we
terme
it
the
Treasury
,
a
stately
and
magnificent
house
,
curiously
built
,
and
appointed
onely
to
lay
Records
and
common
Chronologies
in
.
Heere
also
the
Officers
of
the
towne
gaue
in
their
accounts
,
and
Creditors
entred
their
debts
.
This
was
vtterly
destroyed
by
Vespasian
.
Thus
much
for
the
Buildings
on
this
Mount
.
Next
,
the
market
place
was
a
thing
very
memorable
,
and
was
so
large
and
spatious
,
that
in
the
time
of
the
Warres
many
great
battels
were
fought
there
,
as
Iosephus
saith
.
In
this
market
place
,
close
by
Pilats
house
stood
a
high
seat
or
Tribunal
made
of
faire
stone
curiously
wrought
,
and
for
the
eminence
of
it
called
in
the
Chaldaean
tongue
Gabatha
;
and
because
it
was
built
of
stone
the
Grecians
called
it
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
:
the
Latines
,
Lapidanium
;
and
with
vs
it
might
be
termed
an
heape
of
stones
*
(
for
so
the
word
signifieth
)
Here
Pilat
taking
water
washed
his
hands
before
the
people
,
I
am
innocent
of
this
mans
bloud
:
At
which
they
cried
,
His
bloud
be
vpon
vs
and
our
children
.
And
after
by
Gods
appointment
,
according
to
their
own
wish
fel
vpon
them
;
for
in
the
same
place
and
close
by
the
same
Seat
it
hapned
that
Herod
wanting
money
,
demanded
of
the
Iewes
so
much
out
of
their
Treasurie
(
which
they
called
Corban
)
as
would
pay
for
the
making
of
a
Water-course
(
for
he
assayed
to
bring
water
into
the
City
from
a
Fountaine
,
some
two
hundred
furlongs
off
it
)
but
the
Iewes
supposing
it
a
needlesse
worke
,
not
onely
denied
him
,
but
gaue
many
outragious
and
spitefull
speeches
,
tumultuously
flocked
about
him
,
and
with
great
clamors
prest
vpon
him
euen
as
he
was
in
his
seat
:
wherfore
perceiuing
the
danger
,
and
to
preuent
mischief
,
he
sent
to
his
souldiers
to
apparell
themselues
like
Citisens
,
and
vnder
their
gownes
to
bring
with
them
a
dagger
or
ponyard
,
and
mingle
themselues
among
the
multitude
;
which
they
did
,
obseruing
who
they
were
that
made
the
greatest
vprore
;
and
when
Herod
gaue
the
signe
,
fel
vpon
them
with
their
ponyards
,
killing
a
great
multitude
.
The
rest
seeing
this
massacre
,
suspecting
treason
amongst
themselues
,
fell
one
vpon
another
;
and
many
for
feare
of
losse
,
or
to
auoid
future
danger
,
killed
themselues
.
In
this
very
place
also
,
Florus
Generall
of
the
common
souldiers
,
within
few
yeares
after
,
vpon
a
small
occasion
,
made
another
cruell
massacre
and
much
more
barbarous
than
the
former
:
for
hee
spared
none
,
the
best
of
them
he
caused
to
be
whipt
to
death
,
or
else
crucified
and
put
to
the
sword
;
and
for
the
Vulgar
spared
neither
woman
nor
childe
.
So
that
within
the
compasse
of
one
day
there
died
of
this
obstinate
and
wicked
Nation
aboue
seuen
hundred
and
thirty
.
This
outrage
was
so
cruell
,
that
all
strangers
which
inhabited
within
the
town
pitied
their
misery
;
but
especially
Queen
Bernice
,
who
being
partly
frighted
with
their
shreeks
,
partly
moued
to
commiseration
through
the
extremitie
of
their
affliction
,
indangered
her
life
to
present
her selfe
before
Florus
,
and
vpon
her
knees
besought
him
to
take
some
mercy
and
pitty
of
them
,
and
withdraw
his
hand
of
vengeance
from
the
bloud
of
the
guiltlesse
.
But
the
fury
of
the
Roman
souldiers
was
so
fierce
,
and
the
resolution
of
Florus
so
vnremoueable
,
that
neither
her
teares
nor
the
present
calamities
could
persuade
him
.
But
as
in
such
Vprores
it
commonly
happeneth
,
she
with
the
rest
was
in
danger
of
her
safety
,
and
was
constrained
the
next
night
,
for
the
preseruation
of
her
estate
to
keep
a
strong
watch
,
lest
the
Roman
souldiers
should
haue
done
her
some
violence
.
Thus
we
may
see
a
iust
reuenge
of
a
periured
and
stif
necked
people
,
and
that
in
the
place
where
the
offence
was
committed
,
though
at
least
eight
and
thirt●
yeares
after
.
In
this
market
place
Agrippa
had
built
a
Gallery
all
of
marble
,
from
his
own
house
to
the
Iudgment
hall
;
it
was
couered
aboue
,
and
made
with
diuers
and
sundry
roomes
for
men

the

and
whosoeuer
looked

fogs

seemed
to
lie
in
the
bottome
of
it
,
like
a

,
such
was
the

of
it
.
There
was
another
valley
which
lay
betweene
mount
Sion
and
these
mountaines
,
called
by
the
name
of
Tyrexdon
.
Of
the
Mountaine
Bezetha
.
THis
place
lay
Northward
in
Ierusalem
,
and
betweene
it
and
the
former
hils
were
deep
ditches
cast
;
it
had
two
Townes
standing
vpon
it
,
diuided
with
two
walls
,
and
was
commonly
called
the
Suburbs
;
the
name
of
the
one
,
which
lay
neerest

,
was
called
the

the

It
was
adorned
with
many
faire
and
sumptuous
buldings
,
among
which
was
that
princely
house
of
Herod
Ascalonites
that
great
and
mighty
King
of
the
Iewes
,
in
whose
time
our
Sauior
Christ
was
born
.
This
house
was
sumptuously
built
,
supported
and
adorned
with
pillars
of
polisht
marble
,
and
so
spatious
,
that
in
one
room
thereof
there
might
stand
a
hundred
tables
.
The
hall
also
was
very
great
,
and
richly
gilded
with
refined
gold
intermixt
with
siluer
:
about
it
were
many
pleasant
and
delectable
walls
,
goodly
gardens
and
fountains
for
pleasure
:
it
was
compast
with
a
wal
of
polisht
marble
30
cubits
high
.
And
(
as
Valerius
writeth
)
in
that
house
Herod
caused
Christ
to
be
mocked
,
put
a
long
white
garment
vpon
him
in
contempt
,
and
so
sent
him
to
Pilat
.
Here
also
was
a
prison
,
in
which
Peter
was
kept
when
the
Angel
of
the
Lord
deliuered
him
,
Acts
12.
Of
the
towne
Neapolis
,
or
the
New
City
.
THis
lay
without
the
wals
of
the
city
,
and
became
inhabited
by
reason
of
the
great
concourse
of
people
that
flocked
thither
(
for
in
times
past
there
were
no
inhabitants
)
and
stood
vpon
the
North
side
of
the
hil
.
Here
dwelt
the
Christians
and
other
laborers
&
strangers
:
and
by
all
likelihood
it
seems
that
the
house
of
Mary
the
mother
of
Iohn
syrnamed
Marke
stood
here
,
which
because
of
the
continuall
resort
of
the
Apostles
thither
,
was
called
the
house
of
the
Church
.
Hither
Peter
resorted
when
he
was
deliuered
from
the
hands
of
Herod
,
by
the
Angell
:
for
thus
saith
the
Text
,
Acts
12.9
.
That
when
Peter
had
past
the
first
and
second
watch
he
came
to
the
Iron
gate
which
led
into
the
Citie
,
and
loe
it
opened
of
it selfe
.
And
from
thence
he
went
to
the
house
of
Mary
the
mother
of
Iohn
,
surnamed
Marke
.
Here
also
(
in
my
opinion
)
Christ
celebrated
the
last
Paschall
Lambe
,
because
after
supper
hee
went
into
the
mount
of
Oliues
,
for
this
lying
vnwalled
,
lay
open
for
them
to
goe
and
come
at
their
pleasure
.
But
afterward
in
Herod
Agrippa's
time
,
it
was
begunne
to
be
compassed
in
with
a
wall
,
and
before
it
could
be
fully
finished
,
the
Angell
of
the
Lord
strucke
him
,
and
he
died
miserably
.
Here
also
stood
the
Monuments
of
Iohn
Hircanus
the
high
Priest
,
and
of
Alexander
,
King
of
the
Iewes
,

The
tops
of
the
houses
in
the
Citie
of
Ierusalem
were
flat
,
and
couered
with
faire
and
plaine
roofes
,
compassed
about
with
battlements
;
vpon
which
they
vsed
to
leape
,
dance
and
banquet
,
and
such
recreations
as
they
obserued
vpon
their
festiuall
daies
were
there
celebrated
.
And
thus
much
shall
serue
to
haue
spoken
of
the
mountaines
or
hills
whereon
Ierusalem
stood
.
Of
the
Walls
that
compassed
the
Citie
.
THis
Citie
of
Ierusalem
was
so
strongly
fortified
by
nature
on
euery
side
,
except
the
North
,
(
for
it
stood
vpon
high
rockes
and
cliffes
)
that
it
seemed
to
be
inuincible
.
And
that
that
side
might
be
the
better
strengthened
,
they
compassed
it
in
with
three
walls
,
and
these
so
strong
,
that
when
Vespasian
the
Emperor
and
his
armie
inuaded
the
citie
they
had
much
adoe
to
conquer
them
.
The
first
of
these
walls
was
that
which
Agrippa
built
,
and
it
compassed
in
Neapolis
,
otherwise
called
the
new
towne
.
At
the
Northwest
end
of
which
Wall
,
was
built
an
exceeding
high
Tower
of
very
faire
Marble
stone
;
so
high
,
that
standing
on
the
top
thereof
,
a
man
might
see
from
thence
to
the
Sea
,
and
into
Arabia
,
and
the
vttermost
bounds
of
Iudaea
.
This
Tower
was
called
Psephina
.
The
second
wall
was
that
which
diuided
the
two
Suburbes
,
wherein
there
stood
14
towers
and
gates
.
This
King
Hez●kiah

in
a
corner
of
which
,
betweene
the
West

and
the

,
there
stood
a
high
Tower
,
wherein
all
the
night
great
fire
was
made
,
which
cast
a
light
a
great

off

The
third
wall
compassed
in
the
Temple
and
all
the
lower
citie
;
in
it
was
sixtie
Towers
,
but
the
chiefe
of
them
stood
in
the
East
Angle
,
betweene
the
dung
gate
and
the
gate
of
the
valley
,
which
was
called
Hananiel
,
and
signifieth
,
The
grace
and
gift
of
God
.
This
is
much
spoken
of
in
the
Scripture
:
vpon
this
wall
King
Herod
the
Ascalonite
built
three
faire
Towers
;
one
betweene
the
Garden
gate
and
the
old
gate
,
which
hee
called
Hippicum
,
in
honour
of
his
father
Hippicus
;
the
other
Phaselum
,
in
honour
of
his
brother
Phasilus
;
and
the
third
Mariamne
,
after
his
wiues
name
,
who
notwithstanding
hee
caused
innocently
to
be
put
to
death
.
These
three
gates
were
built
of
polisht
Marble
.
Pliny
and
Strabo
saith
,
That
this
was
the
fairest
and
most
spacious
city
of
the
East
;
and
for
the
munition
and
fortification
almost
inuincible
.
The
wals
of
it
were
all
of
white
polisht
marble
,
some
25
or
30
cubits
high
:
the
stones
were
20
cubits
long
,
20
broad
,
and
5
thicke
,
so
closely
joyned
that
the
junctures
could
scarce
be
perceiued
.
Many
of
the
Towers
also
were
made
of
such
stones
;
but
those
of
the
Temple
exceeded
the
rest
;
for
they
were
25
cubits
long
,
12
broad
,
and
8
thicke
,

which
things
being
rightly
considered
,
we
may
easily
perceiue
that
these
walls
were
very
difficult
to
be
destroyed
:
Neither
were
the
ditches
of
lesse
strength
that
went
about
the
Towne
;
for
they
were
cut
out
of
hard
stones
,
at
least
forty
cubits
deepe
,
and
two
hundred
and
fifty
cubits
broad
,
which
were
vnpossible
to
haue
beene
woon
,
if
God
had
not
holpen
and
assisted
the
Romans
,
filling
vp
those
ditches
with
the
bodies
of
those
that
died
of
the
plague
and
famine
within
the
towne
.
Of
the
gates
of
Ierusalem
.
IT
had
twelue
gates
to
goe
out
and
in
:
Vpon
the
East
side
lay
fiue
,
the
first
of
which
was
the
Fountaine
gate
,
which
was
so
called
of
the
Fountaine
Siloah
.
And
this
stood
close
by
the
gate
of
mount
Sion
.
In
which
Fountain
,
the
man
that
was
borne
blind
washt
himselfe
at
the
commandement
of
our
Sauiour
,
and
had
his
sight
restored
,
Ioh.

and
at
this
gate
Christ
came
riding
in
vpon
an
Asse
,
when
he
came
from
Bethania
,
on
Palme
Sunday
.

The
Sheepe-gate
,
which
was
so
called
of
the
multitude
of
sheepe
that
were
driuen
in
by
it
,
to
be
offered
in
the
Temple
(
for
it
stood
hard
by
the
temple
.
)
Right
before
this
gate
stood
mount
Oliuet
,
some
halfe
an
English
mile
and
a
furlong
from
Ierusalem
,
Eastward
.
By
it
stood
the
Garden
called
Gethsemane
,
where
Christ
was
taken
,
and
led
into
the
citie
through
this
gate
;
to
be
offered
vp
like
an
innocent
sheepe
,
for
the
sinnes
of
the
whole
World

The
Dung-gate
:
this
tooke
the
name
from
a
dung-hill
,
because
the
raine
water
comming
with
great
power
through
the
Citie
,
washed
nway
the
filth
,
and
with
great
violence
,
carried
it
through
this
gate
into

poole

Not

Hereabouts
also
stood

But
on

not
farre
from
the
Tower
called

which
opened

out

this
stood
in
the
City
walls
,
passing
from
one
suburbe
into
another
:
all
these
gates
stood
within
the
city
.
And
thus
much
shall
suffice
to
haue
spoken
of
the
portraiture
of
it
.
Of
the
Springs
,
Valleys
,
Fountaines
,
and
other
memorable
places
as
they
were
scituated
neere
to
the
Citie
,
and
how
to
the
foure
parts
of
the
World
.
IN
the
next
place
it
resteth
to
shew
what
things
worthy
memorie
were
about
,
and
stood
neere
to
the
City
:
the
first
of
which
was
the
brooke
Cedron
,
which
sprung
out
of
a
hill
not
farre
from
it
vpon
the
South
,
and
with
great
swiftnesse
ran
through
the
East
part
of
the
citie
,
and
so
between
Ierusalem
&
the
mount
of
Oliues
,
to
the
valley
gate
of
Iehosaphat
:
thence
passing
through
the
cliffes
of
mount
Oliuet
,
it
ran
directly
East
till
it
came
to
the
dead
Sea
;
which
brooke
in
the
Summer
time
was
most
commonly
dry
.
The
water
of
it
was
something
blacke
,
which
colour
the
valley
Iehosaphat
(
which
was
very
fertile
)
gaue
it
;
&
from
thence
it
was
called
Nigrescens
torrens
,
a
blackish
streame
.
This
is
mystically
spoken
of
,
in

Sam.
and

where
it
is
said

(

That

Of
the
valley
of
the
sonne
of
Hinnon
.
THis
valley
lieth
behind
the
city
of
Ierusalem
Southward
on
the
left
hand
as
they
went
from
Ierusalem
to
Bethelem
.
In
this
valley
the
Iewes
set
vp
an
Idoll
of
copper
like
a
King
,
which
they
called
Moloch
,
that
is
,
a
King
of
Idols
.
This
Copper
Idoll
stood
with
the
arms
stretching
out
,
and
vnder
it
there
was
a
great
fire
,
whereby
the
Image
shewed
fire-redde
:
and
besides
that
,
the
more
to
honour
it
,
they
made
a
great
fire
betweene
two
walls
,
which
burnt
for
his
sake
:
and
through
this
fire
the
Idolatrous
Priests
cast
liuing
children
into
Molochs
burning
armes
,
which
he
with
his
armes
red
hot
burnt
to
death
.
And
in
this
manner
the
Iewes
offered
their
owne
children
to
the
Idoll
Moloch
:
and
when
they
did
it
,
they
made
a
great
noise
&
crie
,
and
beat
vpon
a
drum
,
that
the
fathers
when
their
children
were
offered
,
should
not
here
them
crie
,
by
reason
of
the
great
noise
of
Drums
.
This
valley
was
called
the
valley
of
Tophet
;
for
Tophet
signifies
a
Drum
.
This
was
a
most
grosse
and
fearefull
Idolatry
,
&
therefore
Christ
likened
this
valley
of
Hinnon
to
hell
fire
;
for
he
called
it
Gehenna
,
Mat.

That
the
Iewes
should
keepe
themselues
from
this
monstrous
Idolatrie
,
God
made
a
law
,
That
if
any
man
were
taken
committing
this
kind
of
Idolatry
,
he
should
forthwith
be
stoned
to
death
,
and
not
suffered
to
liue
,

Ierom
writeth
,
that
here
by
this
Idol
Moloch
in
the
valley
of

,
there
was
a
Wood
;
for
the
water
ran
out
of
the
Fountaine
Siloah
along
by
it
,
and
made
the
valley
moist
.
Of
the
field
of
bloud
,
called
Hakeldama
.
THis
field
of
bloud
,
which
was
bought
for
thirty
siluer
pence
,
for
the
which
Iudas
betraied
our
Sauiour

,
lay
not

the
valley

the
city

THis
hill
lay

not

something
wide
of

;
so
that
there
was
but
one
Valley
betweene
them
,
and
was
not
altogether
so
high
as
it
.
Also
vpon
this
hill
King
Solomon
in
his
old
age
suffered
his
wiues
or
concubines
to
make
Idolatrous
Temples
,
wherein
he
and
his
wiues
worshipped
Idols
.
Of
the
destruction
of
this
famous
Citie
of
Ierusalem
by
TITVS
VESPASIAN
.
THus
haue
I
briefly
set
forth
the
dignitie
,
scituation
,
&
curiosity
of
the
buildings
of
Ierusalem
;
together
with
the
richnesse
of
the
Temple
,
and
sumptuousnesse
of
the
houses
:
now
it
rests
to
describe
vnto
you
,
the
manner
and
meanes
how
this
famous
Citie
was
destroyed
;
surely
a
thing
worthy
wonder
(
according
to
that
in
Ieremy
)
Whosoeuer
shall
heare
of
it
his
eares
shall
tingle
.
And
that
it
might
be
the
more
famous
,
and
the
Christians
within
it
might
take
notice
of
the
neer
approaching
desolation
,
there
were
diuers
strange
accidents
hapned
,
and
visions
seene
.
As
first
,
about
some
foure
yeares
before
,
the
riuer
Iordan
was
turned
out
of
her
course
,
and
was
brought
into
the
Citie
Pella
:
a
while
after
that
,
for
a
yeare
together
,
there
hung
a
Comet
like
a
flaming
sword
ouer
the
City
:
And
in
the
night
there
was
seene
a
light
in
the
Temple
:
And
in
the
day
when
they
were
at
sacrifice
,
a
Calfe
brought
forth
a
Lambe
.
Then
about
the
middle
of
the
night
,
the
Easterne
gates
of
the
Temple
opened
of
their
owne
accord
.
In
the
skies
were
seene
armies
of
men
fighting
,
and
Horses
and
Chariots
running
too
and
againe
.
And
at
last
there
was
heard
a
terrible
voice
in
the
temple
,
vttering
these
words
,
Migremus
hinc
;
that
is
,
Let
vs
goe
hence
.
And
that
there
might
be
a
generall
Proclamation
of
this
sad
and
cruell
desolation
,
through
the
whole
citie
,
one
Ananias
the
sonne
of
Iesus
,
a
man
poore
and
impotent
,
vpon
the
Feast
of
the
Tabernacles
,
ran
through
all
the
streets
of
the
Citie
,
and
crying
,
O
,
a
voice
from
the
East
,
and
a
voice
from
the
West
,
a
voice
from
the
foure
windes
,
a
voice
ouer
Ierusalem
and
the
Temple
,
a
voice
ouer
the
Bridegroome
and
the
Bride
,
and
a
voice
ouer
the
whole
multitude
of
this
Citie
.
And
although
he
was
whipt
,
and
imprisoned
,
and
cruelly
handled
,
yet
so
long
as
he
liued
,
hee
would
not
cease
to
vtter
these
words
,
which
by
some
were
judg'd
to
foretel
the
horrible
desolation
which
after
hapned
.
For
Titus
Caesar
sonne
of
Flavius
the
Emperor
,
about
seuentie
yeares
after
the
Natiuitie
of
our
Lord
,
and
about
eight
and
thirty
after
his
ascension
,
vtterly
ouerthrew
it
euen
to
the
ground
,
about
the
first
day
of
the
moneth
of
Aprill
,
and
within
a
yeare
after
these
signes
.
For
he
taking
aduantage
of
the
three
factions
which
at
this
time
swaied
in
Ierusalem
:
One
of
Eleazer
the
Priest
the
sonne
of
Simon
;
the
other
of
Zilotus
the
chiefe
Prince
which
held
the
Temple
;
and
the
third
of
Iohannes
Giscalenus
a
cruell
fellow
,
which
had
the
command
of
the
inferiour
Citie
;
besieged
it
,
and
made
this
a
fit
opportunitie
to
further
his
enterprises
,
whiles
the
seditious
and
factious
people
,
little
regarding
their
owne
safetie
,
gaue
way
by
their
euill
and
intestine
warrs
,
to
what
he
intended
,
weakning
themselues
much
more
by
their
continued
slaughters
,
than
the
enemy
by
his
inuasion
.
Insomuch
as
the
whole
citie
,
and
Temple
was
filled
with
dead
bodies
;
common
insolencies
,
and
publique
rapines
were
ordinarily
amongst
them
:
some
set
fire
of
the
City
,
others
dispoiling
the
Temple
,
a
third
sort
killing
the
Priests
euen
as
they
were
at
sacrifice
,
al
places
ful
of
dead
bodies
;
and
to
this
,
to
adde
a
greater
measure
of
miserie
(
without
any
regard
at
all
to
their
future
defence
)
set
fire
of
the
store-house
,
wherein
the
corne
lay
for
the
sustentation
of
the
Citie
,
and
consumed
that
in
one
day
which
had
been
long
a
gathering
:
by
this
meanes
it
came
to
passe
,
that
they
were
sorely
afflicted
with
the
pestilence
through
the
corruption
of
the
aire
,
and
with
famine
,
for
want
of
Corne.
All
these
things
notwithstanding
(
such
was
the
crueltie
,
obstinacie
,
and
peruersenesse
of
this
people
)
could
not
restraine
them
from
violating
the
most
sacred
and
holy
things
of
the
Temple
:
insomuch
as
Iohannes
Giscalenus
had
a
full
determination
to
haue
destroyed
it
,
but
that
he
was
preuented
by
the
Romans
.
About
this
time
was
the
feast
of
the
Passeouer
,
and
it
fell
vpon
the
fourteenth
day
of
Aprill
,
being
the
Sabboth
;
to
the
celebration
whereof
,
there
resorted
to
Ierusalem
,
about
three
hundred
thousand
Iewes
.
These
the
enemy
gaue
way
to
enter
into
the
Citie
;
but
considering
their
present
necessitie
for
want
of
victuals
,
vpon
a
suddain
drew
vp
their
forces
,
and
so
straightly
beleagered
them
that
all
this
huge
multitude
was
(
as
it
were
)
imprisoned
within
the
wals
,
where
partaking
of
the
former
misery
,
they
either
died
by
the
plague
or
famin
.
Whence
may
be
perceiued
the
maruellous
prouidence
of
God
,
that
euen
on
the
same
day
,
and
in
the
very
same
place
,
where
but
eight
and
thirtie
yeares
before
our
Sauiour
Christ
suffered
,
the
authors
of
such
crueltie
suffered
a
most
just
and
seuere
reuenge
,
Now
as
the
army
of
the
Romans
lay
vpon
the
North
of
the
Citie
,
Titus
drew
out
a
band
of
six
hundred
horse
to
ride
about
,
to
behold
and
view
the
walls
of
the
Towne
:
but
as
he
was
in
this
manner
wondring
at
the
sumptuousnesse
of
the
Citie
,
the
Iewes
in
great
multitudes
slipt
out
at
a
posterne
gate
,
and
set
vpon
him
so
fiercely
,
that
they
endangered
his
person
,
being
without
armour
;
and
had
he
not
with
great
difficultie
broke
through
them
,
and
recouered
the
Tower
of
the
Romans
,
hee
had
beene
there
slaine
.
But
presently
vpon
this
seeing
the
danger
,
hee
besieged
the
Citie
in
three
parts
;
himselfe
as
the
Emperour
of
the
armie
,
built
a
castle
about
some
two
furlongs
from
the
Citie
,
iust
against
the
Tower
Psephina
.
Thc
other
part
of
the
army
was
intrenched
right
against
the
Tower
Hippicus
not
farre
from
the
Garden
of
the
resurrection
.
And
the
third
part
had
their
Castle
in
the
Mount
of
Oliues
,
some
fiue
furlongs
or
thereabouts
from
the
Citie
.
Then
did
hee
build
Bulwarkes
,
make
Engines
,
and
wonderfull
deuises
,
for
the
battering
of
the
Walls
;
and
combining
himselfe
with
some
of
the
Iewes
,
vpon
the
seuenth
day
of
the
second
moneth
,
which
answereth
to
the
moneth
of
May
,
with
great
difficultie
and
much
labour
entred
the
first
Wall
which
lay
vpon
the
North
,
and
woon
Mount
Bezitha
and
Neapolie
.
Vpon
the
twelfth
of
the
same
moneth
(
which
was
the
Sabboth
day
)
hee
entred
the
second
wall
,
which
diuided
the
suburbs
:
but
this
was
againe
the
same
day
recouered
by
the
vertue
of
the
Iewes
,
so
that
the
Iewes
were
constrained
to
fight
vpon
the
Sabboth
day
,
according
to
the
prophecie
of
our
Sauiour
Christ
,
Matt.
24.
But
after
vpon
the
sixteenth
of
this
moneth
of
May
,
the
Romans
againe
recouered
this
wall
and
kept
it
in
their
owne
custody
.
Within
a
while
after
in
the
month
of
Iune
(
about
this
time
the
famine
growing
intollerable
within
the
towne
)
Titus
in
the
space
of
three
daies
,
compassed
in
the
whole
citie
of
Ierusalem
with
a
Wall
,
and
vpon
that
set
Towers
and
Castles
,
lest
any
of
the
Iewes
should
flye
to
saue
themselues
.
Thus
was
the
prophecie
of
our
Sauiour
Christ
fulfilled
,
Thy
enemies
shall
compasse
thee
about
and
hem
thee
in
on
euery
side
.
Iosephus
was
now
in
the
Citie
,
and
walking
vpon
the
Walls
,
earnestly
intreated
the
Iewes
to
desist
,
and
no
longer
to
oppose
the
Romans
,
but
this
was
so
hatefull
a
speech
to
many
,
that
they
began
to
fling
darts
at
him
.
And
although
at
this
time
the
extremitie
of
the
famine
was
so
sore
,
that
many
dyed
for
want
of
sustenance
,
yet
all
perswasions
were
in
vaine
;
and
such
was
the
calamitie
,
that
as
well
those
as
went
out
,
as
those
that
continued
in
the
Citie
,
were
in
like
danger
of
their
liues
;
for
they
were
either
slaine
by
the
enemy
,
or
els
by
the
pestilence
and
famine
;
common
injuries
,
and
vnmercifull
outrages
still
attending
vpon
warre
.
Their
misery
did
rather
increase
,
then
at
all
lesson
it selfe
;
for
the
jealousie
of
treason
,
the
hope
of
riches
,
and
the
madnes
of
the
seditious
,
distracted
the
mindes
of
the
Citizens
with
continuall
feares
,
and
filled
the
streets
full
of
murther
and
daily
spectacles
of
lamentable
tragedies
:
The
markets
were
vnfrequented
with
Corne
,
the
victuals
,
with
violence
consumed
and
taken
from
the
true
owners
.
And
if
it
chanced
that
some
one
had
more
than
would
serue
his
turne
,
though
he
dwelt
in
a
faire
and
stately
building
,
yet
the
remotest
roome
and
most
vnfrequented
he
made
his
tabernacle
,
and
that
little
which
was
left
,
with
great
parcimonie
he
consumed
,
together
with
his
life
,
till
both
were
ended
.
Those
that
were
Fathers
and
Senats
of
the
people
(
though
before
serued
and
attended
with
reuerenced
and
great
state
)
in
this
consusion
was
glad
of
a
small
morsell
,
though
with
much
contention
.
The
wife
was
not
ashamed
to
take
away
the
meate
from
her
husband
,
nor
the
children
from
their
parents
,
nor
the
mothers
from
their
infants
:
And
if
it
hapned
that
in
any
house
the
seditious
seemed
to
smell
food
,
with
violence
they
tooke
it
,
ransackt
the
roomes
round
about
,
whiles
the
master
therof
was
made
a
laughing
stocke
and
mournfull
spectator
of
those
mischiefes
.
But
according
to
the
condition
of
souldiers
,
whose
naturall
disposition
is
to
be
violent
,
without
any
regard
either
of
sex
or
kindred
,
committed
daily
outrages
.
So
that
here
you
might
haue
seene
the
mothers
weeping
ouer
their
dying
infants
,
whiles
their
husbands
were
massacred
in
the
streets
by
the
seditious
.
The
increase
of
daies
were
the
increase
of
torments
,
and
the
daily
want
of
such
as
were
in
power
being
vnaccustomed
to
such
euils
,
caused
them
to
inuent
new
meanes
to
satisfie
their
desire
,
and
practise
vnusuall
torments
,
for
no
other
purpose
but
to
finde
out
sustenance
:
yea
,
such
was
their
insatiable
thirst
of
bloud
,
that
they
spared
not
him
whom
but
now
gaue
them
all
hee
had
,
and
least
he
should
liue
to
cumber
the
city
,
either
hang
him
vp
by
the
heeles
till
he
died
,
or
else
pulled
out
his
entrailes
with
a
sharpe
yron
.
Those
that
went
out
in
the
night
time
when
the
Romans
were
asleepe
,
to
gather
herbes
,
the
seditious
would
meet
and
with
violence
take
what
they
had
got
from
them
:
and
though
with
teares
and
lamentations
,
and
prayers
vpon
their
knees
,
they
intreated
but
for
one
part
,
a
small
moitie
of
that
which
a
little
before
they
had
got
with
danger
of
their
liues
,
yet
they
would
not
giue
it
them
,
and
scap't
fairely
if
they
went
away
with
life
.
These
insolencies
were
committed
by
the
common
souldiers
,
vpon
such
as
were
of
the
meaner
sort
of
people
.
But
for
the
rest
that
were
either
honorable
or
rich
,
they
became
a
prey
to
the
Captains
and
Commanders
,
some
accused
as
traitors
,
and
that
they
would
haue
betraied
the
Citie
to
the
Romans
;
others
as
fugitiues
,
that
they
would
forsake
the
Citie
;
most
vnder
pretence
of
one
crime
or
other
,
dispoiled
of
that
they
had
.
And
they
whom
Iohn
had
thus
oppressed
,
were
entertained
of
Simon
,
and
whom
Simon
had
injuried
,
they
were
entertained
by
Iohn
;
both
drunke
the
bloud
of
the
miserable
Citizens
like
water
:
So
that
the
desire
of
rule
was
the
cause
of
their
dissention
,
the
concord
of
their
euill
and
cruell
actions
.
There
was
an
infinite
number
that
perished
in
this
citie
by
famine
,
insomuch
as
houses
were
filled
with
the
bodies
of
infants
and
children
.
The
Angle
gate
was
thrust
full
of
dead
corpes
.
The
young
men
that
remained
,
walked
vp
and
downe
the
Citie
like
Images
of
death
.
The
old
men
were
destroyed
by
the
pestilence
,
the
contagion
of
which
disease
taking
away
their
senses
,
they
became
madde
.
And
of
such
as
died
among
the
seditious
,
their
wiues
or
kindred
had
not
roome
nor
time
to
bury
them
,
but
as
they
were
putting
them
into
the
graue
they
also
dyed
.
Yet
for
all
this
,
amongst
this
miserable
societie
,
there
was
no
weeping
,
no
complaining
,
no
deploring
of
their
necessities
,
for
the
violence
of
the
famin
hauing
dried
vp
their
radical
moisture
,
the
feare
of
griefe
was
taken
from
them
:
and
such
as
had
most
cause
to
lament
,
and
were
most
pricked
with
the
sting
of
sorrow
,
before
they
could
vtter
their
griefe
died
,
the
beholders
not
shedding
a
tear
:
so
that
through
the
whole
city
there
was
a
still
silence
,
and
a
thicke
mist
of
death
,
and
destruction
did
fully
possesse
the
same
.
But
the
seditious
were
much
more
cruell
than
these
were
oppressed
with
calamitie
and
sorrow
;
for
some
opened
the
graues
of
the
dead
,
and
taking
out
their
bodies
thrust
them
thorow
with
their
swords
.
Others
to
trie
the
sharpenesse
of
the
edge
of
their
weapons
would
fall
vpon
those
that
were
yet
aliue
,
and
when
they
had
slaine
them
,
goe
away
laughing
at
their
pleasure
.
So
that
as
Iosephus
saith
,
there
was
scarce
any
mischiefe
vnder
the
Sunne
,
but
was
both
practised
and
tollerated
in
this
Citie
.
To
conclude
,
by
sedition
the
Romans
conquered
the
Citie
,
and
sedition
conquered
the
Romans
.
All
loue
and
modestie
,
through
this
extreme
and
intollerable
famine
,
became
vtterly
extinct
,
and
the
deerest
friends
would
kill
one
another
for
a
crust
of
bread
;
the
fairest
Lady
commit
open
adultery
for
a
little
sustinance
.
Their
food
was
extraordinary
,
and
such
as
men
did
loath
and
hate
:
Some
would
feed
vpon
snailes
and
wormes
,
others
of
old
hay
chopt
small
;
many
ate
corne
either
vnground
or
made
into
bread
:
some
pluckt
the
meat
from
the
spit
raw
,
others
with
their
teeth
gnaud
off
the
leather
off
their
shields
:
And
that
very
mouth
which
cried
,
Crucifie
him
,
crucifie
him
,
let
his
bloud
be
vpon
vs
and
our
children
,
was
constrained
to
feed
vpon
three
sorts
of
dung
,
that
is
to
say
,
Doues
dung
,
Oxens
dung
,
and
Mans
dung
.
Moreouer
,
many
were
constrained
for
meere
necessitie
,
to
feed
vpon
the
dead
bodies
of
such
,
as
a
little
before
dyed
,
partly
by
famine
,
partly
by
the
pestilence
.
And
to
conclude
,
for
very
madnesse
eat
vp
their
gold
:
for
some
of
them
being
taken
as
they
were
flying
for
their
safety
by
the
Romans
,
in
their
excrement
was
found
gold
,
of
which
the
souldiers
hearing
,
and
supposing
that
all
the
Iewes
had
beene
full
of
gold
,
thorow
couetousnesse
of
that
gaine
,
in
one
night
killed
2000
of
them
,
and
ript
vp
their
bellies
;
And
had
not
Titus
Caesar
by
a
seuere
Edict
,
forbidden
these
cruell
and
vnheard
of
slaughters
,
there
had
beene
many
more
slaine
.
To
make
an
end
of
this
vnheard
of
famine
,
I
will
repeat
one
memorable
example
our
of
Iosephus
,
of
an
outrage
which
a
mother
committed
euen
vpon
her
owne
sonne
.
There
was
a
woman
of
the
inhabitants
beyond
Iordan
,
whose
name
was
Marie
,
of
the
stocke
of
Eliazer
,
and
of
the
Towne
Bethezor
,
which
signifies
the
house
of
Hissop
;
shee
was
of
a
noble
and
rich
family
,
and
amongst
others
,
went
to
Ierusalem
in
hope
of
safety
,
where
she
was
likewise
oppressed
with
the
miserie
of
this
siege
;
for
as
soone
as
she
had
brought
all
her
riches
and
substance
into
the
City
,
which
she
had
before
beyond
Iordan
,
this
famine
growing
greater
and
greater
vpon
the
inhabitants
.
The
seditious
perceiuing
that
this
woman
was
well
furnished
both
with
riches
and
sustinance
,
on
a
suddain
set
vpon
her
house
,
dispoiled
her
of
her
substance
,
tooke
away
her
sustinance
,
and
vtterly
depriued
her
of
all
meanes
to
liue
.
Shee
beeing
pricked
with
the
misery
and
calamitie
of
the
times
,
saw
it
little
preuailed
to
striue
,
wherefore
with
teares
,
vpon
her
knees
she
intreated
that
shee
might
haue
but
some
small
part
of
that
they
had
taken
from
her
,
to
maintain
her selfe
and
her
son
with
life
;
but
the
seditious
gaue
little
eare
to
her
intreaties
:
wherfore
being
mooued
to
extreme
anger
she
daily
cursed
with
contumelious
words
those
barbarous
villains
,
that
had
thus
rob'd
her
of
all
her
means
:
but
when
shee
saw
that
neither
anger
nor
intreatie
could
procure
mercie
,
and
through
the
Towne
not
one
morsell
of
food
was
to
be
found
,
partly
prest
with
an
extreame
necessitie
,
partly
with
a
furious
rage
,
beyond
all
nature
and
compassion
,
laid
violent
hands
vpon
her
owne
sonne
,
and
accounted
an
vntimely
death
more
honourable
,
than
that
he
should
liue
to
bee
a
prey
to
the
seditious
,
or
a
slaue
to
the
Romans
.
The
body
of
this
infant
shee
rosted
and
eat
:
the
soldiers
of
the
Towne
beeing
prest
with
hunger
,
smelling
the
meat
,
supposing
that
as
in
former
times
,
they
should
haue
found
plenty
,
with
violence
broke
in
vpon
her
,
and
looke
what
she
had
prouided
greedily
consumed
,
and
compelled
her
to
fetch
the
rest
;
which
shee
did
,
and
when
they
were
well
satisfied
,
she
shewed
them
the
head
and
feet
of
her
sonne
:
which
they
perceiuing
,
loathing
the
inhumanitie
of
the
fact
,
with
dejected
countenance
departed
.
This
famine
was
so
extreame
,
that
one
measure
of
graine
was
worth
a
talent
,
that
is
,
600
crownes
.
But
the
Romans
all
this
while
did
abound
with
plenty
of
all
things
,
and
to
vex
the
Iewes
they
shewed
them
the
great
aboundance
of
their
store
,
for
the
neighboring
prouinces
sent
them
supplies
.
After
this
famine
,
there
followed
an
extreme
plague
,
procured
partly
through
the
stanch
of
the
bodies
that
lay
vnburied
,
partly
by
the
multitude
of
the
massacres
that
daily
hapned
,
that
(
as
Egisippus
writeth
)
within
the
compasse
of
eleuen
weekes
,
there
were
carried
out
by
one
gate
of
the
Citie
,
111000
dead
bodies
;
yet
could
they
not
emptie
the
Citie
,
but
that
they
were
constrained
either
to
bury
them
at
the
publike
charge
,
or
else
cast
them
ouer
the
wals
into
the
ditches
of
the
citie
:
which
when
Titus
saw
,
and
that
the
putrifaction
of
the
bodies
swam
vpon
the
brim
of
the
ditch
(
for
it
was
full
with
dead
carkasses
)
fetching
a
deepe
sigh
,
and
lifting
vp
his
hands
to
heauen
,
he
said
,
God
is
my
witnes
,
this
is
not
my
fault
,
but
the
punishment
of
God
vpon
them
.
The
city
being
thus
pestired
with
sedition
,
famine
,
pestilence
,
and
warre
,
was
made
now
a
ready
prey
to
the
Enemy
:
and
that
they
might
make
a
finall
end
of
their
miseries
,
Titus
caused
the
engines
of
batterie
to
be
brought
against
the
walls
;
and
vpon
the
first
day
of
the
fourth
month
(
whicn
answers
to
our
Iune
)
he
took
the
third
wall
which
lay
vpon
the
North.
Vpon
the
fourth
of
Iune
after
,
though
with
great
labour
,
he
tooke
the
Tower
of
Antonia
,
and
in
it
placed
a
Garrison
.
Vpon
the
seuenteenth
day
of
the
fourth
moneth
,
which
was
a
fast
to
the
Iewes
,
Iosephus
going
vp
to
the
top
of
that
Tower
,
made
an
Oration
to
Giscalinus
and
the
rest
,
to
disswade
them
from
their
rebellion
,
&
cease
to
oppose
the
Romans
,
but
this
little
preuailed
.
Vpon
the
twentieth
day
of
Iuly
,
the
Iewes
burnt
a
part
of
the
Porch
of
the
Temple
towards
the
North
,
not
far
from
the
Tower
of
Antonia
,
lest
that
the
Romans
hauing
got
that
Hold
,
should
with
the
greater
facilitie
haue
conquered
the
Temple
also
.
Two
daies
after
,
the
Romans
destroyed
the
whole
Porch
with
fire
,
and
the
Iewes
helpt
to
pull
it
downe
with
their
hands
:
this
was
none
of
the
three
Porches
but
a
bulwarke
of
the
Temple
.
Vpon
the
25
day
of
Iuly
the
Iewes
filled
the
Porch
toward
the
West
with
pitch
and
betume
,
and
then
made
as
though
they
meant
to
fly
and
leaue
the
citie
,
which
some
of
the
Romans
perceiuing
,
without
any
command
of
their
Captaines
,
put
scaling
ladders
to
the
Tower
,
and
began
to
assault
it
,
but
when
they
were
most
busie
,
the
Iewes
of
a
sudden
put
fire
to
the
pitch
,
and
burnt
them
most
miserably
;
insomuch
as
Titus
pittied
them
to
see
their
extremitie
,
although
they
were
such
as
did
contrary
to
his
command
.
Vpon
the
last
day
of
this
moneth
they
tooke
the
North
gate
,
which
lay
towards
the
rising
of
the
Sunne
,
and
close
by
the
brooke
Cedron
;
rhis
they
burnt
downe
with
fire
.
Vpon
the
third
of
August
,
Titus
commanded
to
fire
the
gate
of
the
Temple
,
that
was
all
couered
ouer
with
gold
&
siluer
,
by
this
gate
the
Romans
made
a
breach
into
the
Temple
,
which
ere
this
had
beene
prophaned
by
the
Iewes
:
whiles
this
gate
was
a
burning
,
the
Iewes
stood
astonished
,
and
not
one
of
them
resisted
the
Romans
.
Caesar
and
all
his
army
labored
three
daies
to
quench
this
fire
,
after
which
hee
called
a
councell
to
determine
what
he
should
do
with
the
temple
,
it
was
so
rich
and
sumptuous
,
that
he
would
faine
haue
left
it
as
an
ornament
for
the
Roman
Empire
.
But
the
Iewes
hauing
got
a
little
breathing
,
made
new
incursions
vpon
the
Romans
,
by
which
meanes
they
could
not
determine
thereof
.
The
6
of
August
,
the
souldiers
of
Titus
,
without
command
of
their
Captaines
,
fired
the
Temple
,
just
vpon
that
day
which
Nebuchadnezzar
before
time
had
destroyed
it
,
as
Iosephus
witnesseth
,
li.
de
Bell.
6.
c.
26.27
.
Caesar
would
faine
haue
saued
this
Temple
for
the
sumptuousnesse
of
it
,
and
beckoned
to
his
souldiers
to
haue
quencht
the
fire
,
but
they
,
partly
prest
on
with
a
desire
of
wealth
,
partly
being
prickt
on
with
a
fury
and
madnesse
,
gaue
no
eare
to
his
speeches
,
but
committed
most
cruell
massacres
,
without
either
regard
of
age
or
sex
:
So
that
the
cries
of
the
slaughterd
,
the
sound
of
the
Roman
trumpets
,
the
fierce
resistance
of
the
seditious
,
and
the
fire
furiously
burning
,
represented
a
most
horrible
spectacle
:
The
ground
below
was
couered
with
dead
bodies
,
many
in
desperation
threw
themselues
into
the
fire
,
6000
were
burnt
in
the
same
gate
,
whither
they
fled
for
refuge
,
and
the
priests
most
cruelly
massacred
as
they
were
in
the
Temple
.
This
was
the
end
of
the
Temple
of
Ierusalem
,
the
mirror
of
the
world
,
being
consumed
and
spoiled
with
fire
and
sword
.
After
these
things
,
vpon
the
bridge
that
passeth
from
the
temple
ouer
the
valley
into
the
lower
towne
,
Titus
made
a
speech
by
an
interpreter
,
to
the
two
seditious
Captaines
,
gently
intreating
them
to
leaue
off
their
rebellion
,
and
he
would
spare
the
Citie
and
commit
no
more
outrages
,
and
such
further
requests
as
they
desired
should
according
to
reason
be
granted
them
;
but
if
they
would
not
embrace
mercy
and
cease
their
violent
resistance
,
they
must
expect
no
manner
of
compassion
,
but
the
very
law
of
Armes
.
This
they
contemned
and
made
but
a
mocke
of
Caesar
for
all
his
offers
;
whereupon
in
a
great
rage
hee
gaue
the
signall
to
his
souldiers
,
and
they
went
through
all
the
City
and
set
it
on
fire
.
The
next
day
they
woon
the
lower
Citie
,
and
with
fire
and
sword
consumed
the
place
where
the
records
lay
,
the
Court
and
all
the
Princely
buildings
,
vntill
they
came
to
that
stately
house
of
Helena
,
which
stood
in
the
midst
of
Acra
,
all
the
houses
neere
being
filled
with
the
bodies
of
the
dead
,
and
the
streets
horribly
defiled
with
the
bloud
of
those
that
were
slaine
.
Within
a
short
while
after
,
Iohannes
Giscalinus
was
taken
aliue
and
committed
to
prison
.
The
inferiour
Citie
being
thus
taken
and
destroyed
,
about
the
16
day
of
August
,
Caesar
began
to
build
his
engines
,
and
batter
the
walls
of
the
vpper
citie
,
which
within
the
space
of
18
daies
after
with
extreme
labour
and
skill
,
hee
laid
flat
with
the
ground
,
(
as
Iosephus
saith
.
)
And
vpon
the
7
of
September
,
with
great
facilitie
hee
conquered
the
citie
,
the
Iewes
of
their
owne
accord
descending
from
the
Towers
:
and
the
Romanes
set
vpon
the
walls
their
ensignes
,
with
a
great
acclamation
,
and
wasted
all
the
citie
with
fire
and
sword
,
sparing
neither
men
,
women
,
nor
children
.
The
8
day
of
the
moneth
of
September
,
the
whole
Citie
was
destroyed
,
and
not
a
stone
left
vpon
a
stone
but
laid
leuell
with
the
ground
,
onely
the
three
Towers
that
were
built
by
Herod
,
which
were
of
shining
Marble
(
viz.
Hippicus
,
Phaselus
,
and
Mariamne
)
that
future
ages
seeing
the
excellencie
of
those
buildings
they
might
iudge
of
the
statelines
of
the
rest
.
But
these
also
were
after
destroyed
by
Adrianus
Caesar
.
There
died
by
the
famine
and
pestilence
an
innumerable
number
,
by
fire
and
sword
ten
hundred
thousand
:
2000
were
found
that
either
killed
themselues
,
or
one
killed
another
,
7900
were
taken
captiues
;
of
these
,
all
the
seditious
theeues
that
accused
one
another
,
were
slaine
by
Frontonius
Caesar
,
Titus
freed
many
,
7000
were
sent
into
Aegypt
,
with
extreme
labour
to
consume
and
die
,
the
properest
and
most
able
were
reserued
for
triumph
,
many
were
distributed
through
the
prouinces
,
some
were
slaine
by
the
sword
,
and
by
beasts
for
publike
spectacles
,
and
those
that
were
16
yeares
of
age
and
vnder
,
together
with
many
other
,
Caesar
sold
vnder
the
crowne
,
at
thirty
for
a
siluer
penny
;
that
as
Christ
was
sold
for
thirty
pence
,
so
thirty
of
them
should
be
sold
for
a
penny
,
With
the
riches
of
this
towne
Caesar
triumphed
,
rode
into
Rome
with
two
golden
Chariots
,
built
the
Temple
of
Peace
,
and
there
put
all
the
plate
which
he
found
in
the
temple
of
Ierusalem
.
After
all
this
,
for
a
full
determination
of
those
euils
,
the
two
seditious
captaines
Iohannes
Giscalenus
and
Simon
the
son
of
Giora
,
were
put
to
most
cruell
deaths
.
Thus
may
we
see
the
grieuous
punishment
of
the
obstinat
and
ambitious
,
which
God
permitted
to
fall
vpon
them
for
their
vnthankfulnesse
and
cruell
tyranny
.
How
the
city
of
Ierusalem
after
this
destruction
by
Titus
Vespas
.
was
vtterly
beaten
downe
and
defaced
by
Aelius
Adr.
Caesar
,
which
he
re-edifying
,
called
it
after
his
own
name
Aelia
.
THe
city
of
Ierusalem
being
thus
laid
leuel
with
the
ground
,
for
the
space
of
sixty
yeares
lay
desolate
,
a
receptacle
for
theeues
and
murtherers
,
a
fit
place
for
Wolues
and
wilde
beasts
,
which
resorted
thither
to
feed
vpon
the
dead
bodies
.
And
now
time
consuming
their
flesh
,
left
their
bones
and
skuls
to
lye
vpon
the
earth
as
in
a
Charnell
house
.
Thus
it
continued
vntill
one
Benchochab
(
which
signifies
the
Son
of
the
Stars
)
born
in
the
towne
of
Bethcoron
not
farre
from
Emaus
,
professed
himselfe
to
be
the
Messiah
or
Christ
.
The
Iewes
supposing
this
to
be
true
,
because
of
that
saying
of
Numb
.
24.
There
shall
a
Starre
rise
vp
out
of
Iacob
)
assembled
themselues
to
the
number
of
many
thousands
and
followed
him
,
with
great
tyranny
and
crueltie
spoyling
the
Holy
Land
,
and
through
all
the
countrey
of
Iudaea
committing
many
outrages
and
massacres
.
Thus
they
continued
for
the
space
of
eighteene
yeares
,
at
the
end
of
which
time
Adrianus
Aelianus
the
Emperor
hearing
of
those
insolencies
,
leuied
an
Army
and
sent
them
into
Iudea
,
vnder
the
gouernment
of
Iulius
Seuerus
,
who
in
a
pitcht
field
neere
to
Bethcoron
and
not
far
from
Emaus
conquered
this
Benchochab
or
Pseudo-Messiah
,
and
with
him
slew
fiue
hundred
thousand
Iewes
that
were
deceiued
by
his
persuasion
.
Now
when
they
went
to
seeke
for
the
body
of
this
Deceiuer
amongst
the
Dead
(
as
saith
Talmudista
)
hee
was
found
lying
with
an
horrible
Serpent
about
his
necke
;
intimating
how
God
reiected
him
that
would
seem
to
imitate
his
Son
;
for
euen
as
the
Serpent
deceiued
our
first
Parents
,
so
this
Benchochab
deceiued
the
Iews
,
and
for
this
cause
they
called
him
Bencozba
,
that
is
,
The
Son
of
Lying
.
The
number
of
the
Iewes
which
in
the
time
of
this
war
were
slaine
amounted
to
500000
men
,
besides
many
others
that
perished
by
pestilence
and
famin
.
This
warre
hapned
64
yeares
after
the
destruction
of
Ierusalem
.
After
this
second
desolation
of
the
Iewes
,
at
the
command
of
the
Emperor
(
that
there
might
be
a
final
extirpation
of
the
antient
city
of
Ierusalem
,
and
that
the
words
of
our
Sauior
might
be
fulfilled
,
Lo
,
there
shall
not
be
a
stone
left
vpon
a
stone
,
Mat.
24
)
the
ruines
and
foundations
thereof
were
digged
vp
,
the
stones
broken
in
pieces
,
the
ground
left
desolate
,
and
the
mountains
are
now
become
barren
and
ouergrown
with
brambles
:
And
that
the
name
thereof
might
vtterly
be
forgotten
,
and
as
it
were
rooted
out
of
the
earth
,
hee
set
vp
a
new
towne
not
far
from
the
hill
Gihon
and
Golgotha
where
Christ
was
crucified
;
which
after
he
had
adorned
with
many
goodly
buildings
,
he
called
it
by
his
owne
name
,
Aelia
.
In
the
place
of
the
Temple
he
set
vp
a
Church
in
the
honour
of
Iupiter
and
Venus
.
Iust
in
the
place
where
the
holy
Altar
stood
,
he
erected
his
own
image
vpon
a
marble
pillar
,
which
continued
vntill
Saint
Hieroms
time
.
At
Bethlehem
he
erected
the
Image
of
Adonis
,
and
to
that
he
consecrated
at
Church
.
Vpon
the
gates
of
the
City
he
cut
Hogs
in
marble
,
in
contempt
of
the
Iewes
.
Then
did
hee
abiure
them
,
That
they
should
not
come
within
the
walls
of
the
City
,
nor
set
foot
vpon
the
ground
neere
Ierusalem
.
This
being
done
,
(
as
Dion
saith
)
he
dedicated
it
to
the
honour
of
Iupiter
Capitolinus
;
and
only
made
it
free
for
Christians
and
such
like
to
be
in
it
.
This
town
at
this
day
we
call
Ierusalem
,
although
it
be
scituated
in
another
place
,
and
called
by
another
name
.
Future
Ages
calling
the
actions
of
precedent
times
into
question
,
puld
a
great
contempt
vpon
this
Towne
,
and
so
much
the
rather
,
because
Infidelitie
and
other
heathenish
prophanesse
was
cherisht
within
this
city
.
So
that
that
which
a
little
before
was
set
vp
in
honour
of
the
Emperour
Aelianus
,
is
now
growne
into
contempt
.
Wherfore
Helena
the
mother
of
Constantine
the
Great
hauing
command
of
that
Empire
,
to
giue
some
satisfaction
to
the
vniuersalitie
,
caused
those
prophane
Temples
and
Idols
to
be
abolished
,
and
in
their
places
erected
others
.
Vpon
mount
Golgotha
the
church
called
Golgothanus
;
vpon
the
mount
of
Olives
one
in
the
place
of
the
ascention
of
Christ
:
and
Constantine
her
son
richly
adorned
the
Sepulchre
,
and
ouer
it
built
a
stately
Temple
all
of
polisht
marble
,
richly
gilt
with
gold
,
so
that
to
this
day
it
remaines
as
the
chiefe
ornament
of
the
town
.
In
this
mans
time
the
Iewes
with
great
boldnesse
indeauoured
to
rebuild
the
Temple
iust
in
the
place
where
it
stood
before
:
but
at
the
commandement
of
the
Emperour
they
were
repelled
,
and
in
recompence
of
their
presumption
had
their
eares
cut
off
and
their
noses
slit
,
because
they
had
eares
and
would
not
heare
,
neither
obey
the
commandement
of
our
Sauior
.
But
as
the
Emperor
was
religious
,
and
endeauored
to
support
Christianitie
,
so
his
successor
Iulianus
was
as
full
of
impietie
and
prophanenesse
;
who
that
he
might
frustrat
the
prophecie
of
our
Sauior
,
That
Ierusalem
should
neuer
be
built
again
,
in
contempt
caused
the
Iewes
to
assemble
together
,
and
with
all
expedition
restore
it
to
its
former
glory
,
giuing
the
vttermost
of
his
helpe
to
their
endeauours
.
But
as
they
were
seriously
labouring
in
this
work
,
of
a
sudden
there
came
a
great
earthquake
,
and
looke
what
they
had
built
was
by
that
quite
ouerturned
;
then
fire
came
out
of
the
earth
and
from
heauen
,
which
destroied
both
the
matter
and
the
Workemen
.
And
that
the
Iewes
nor
any
Philosophers
might
impute
it
to
a
natural
cause
,
there
was
seen
in
the
heauens
a
bloudy
crosse
,
and
vpon
their
cloathes
crosses
shining
like
stars
,
which
the
Iewes
could
by
no
means
wipe
off
.
Yet
this
little
preuailed
:
a
second
time
they
attempted
,
&
as
before
,
a
second
earthquake
hapned
,
with
a
storme
of
winde
,
which
came
with
such
extreme
violence
,
that
all
the
stuffe
which
they
had
heaped
together
for
this
purpose
was
vtterly
blown
away
and
destroyed
.
So
that
of
force
they
were
constrained
to
leaue
off
,
&
acknowledge
,
That
Christ
,
whom
their
Forefathers
had
crucified
,
was
the
true
Messiah
.
Greg.
Nazianzen
and
Hierome
report
,
That
neuerthelesse
the
Iewes
euen
to
this
day
,
although
it
cost
them
much
money
,
come
yearely
to
the
place
where
Ierusalem
stood
,
and
vpon
the
day
of
the
destruction
thereof
weep
ouer
it
.
Such
was
their
affection
vnto
this
City
.
But
these
euils
were
purged
with
a
sudden
inuasion
(
for
no
crying
iniuries
nor
prophane
insolencies
against
God
passe
vnpunished
,
but
that
then
or
soone
after
a
iust
reuenge
falls
vpon
them
)
for
Cosroës
Emperor
of
the
Persians
,
whose
impudencie
and
impietie
was
so
great
that
hee
would
be
worshipped
as
a
god
,
about
the
yeare
of
our
Lord
615
,
besieged
this
town
,
tooke
it
,
and
put
to
death
90000.
Christians
,
carried
the
Patriarch
thereof
,
together
with
many
others
away
captiue
.
But
Heraclius
the
Emperor
to
punish
him
for
his
pride
and
crueltie
set
vpon
Persia
,
and
with
fire
and
sword
destroied
the
country
not
far
from
Nineueh
,
conquered
his
chiefe
captain
Razetis
in
a
set
battell
,
won
the
city
of
Nineueh
,
and
went
away
with
an
honorable
victorie
.
Seroës
also
,
the
only
begotten
sonne
of
Cosroës
,
but
a
little
before
inuading
the
kingdom
,
kild
his
father
in
prison
,
restored
the
Patriarch
and
the
rest
of
the
Captiues
which
his
father
had
taken
,
to
Heraclius
:
and
about
the
seuenth
yeare
after
hee
had
warred
vpon
Persia
,
hee
returned
to
Aelia
with
great
pompe
.
Not
long
after
,
in
the
yeare
637
,
Haumar
the
chiefe
Prince
of
the
Saracens
,
which
was
the
third
from
Mahomet
,
with
a
great
Army
afflicted
Syria
and
Iudaea
,
conquered
these
Countries
,
and
in
his
victories
vsed
great
tyrannie
and
crueltie
.
Within
two
yeares
after
,
he
won
Aelia
,
which
had
maintained
a
long
and
sharp
siege
;
neither
would
Zacharias
the
Patriarch
giue
it
vp
,
til
he
was
compelled
thereto
by
extreme
famin
,
and
soon
after
died
with
griefe
.
Thus
this
towne
continued
for
the
space
of
450
yeares
in
the
hands
of
the
Saracens
.
Then
in
the
yere
1012
,
Caliphas
Sultan
of
Egypt
won
it
,
beat
downe
the
walls
,
destroied
the
Temple
which
the
Emperor
Constantine
had
built
,
and
made
havock
of
al
things
.
Presently
vpon
this
,
the
Turkes
that
came
out
of
Scythia
by
the
Caspian
mountains
,
won
the
city
,
&
draue
thence
the
Saracens
.
Thus
we
may
see
that
the
Saracens
and
Turks
,
though
they
were
both
of
one
religion
,
yet
for
the
country
of
the
Iewes
fought
one
against
another
,
and
compelled
the
Christians
to
pay
them
Tribute
for
the
fourth
part
of
the
city
,
wherein
the
Sepulchre
of
our
Lord
stood
,
being
againe
restored
by
the
Emperor
Constantine
after
the
destruction
of
Caliphas
.
The
Christians
being
weary
of
this
tribute
,
and
of
the
oppression
of
the
Infidels
,
became
sutors
to
Pope
Vrban
the
second
of
that
name
,
for
their
deliuery
;
who
in
the
yeare
1094
assembled
a
Councel
at
Clearemont
in
France
,
and
by
the
instigation
of
one
Peter
the
hermit
,
stirred
vp
the
hearts
of
diuers
Christian
princes
and
great
Lords
to
make
a
croysado
;
so
that
10000
braue
&
well
mounted
souldiers
went
into
the
Holy
land
,
and
for
a
token
of
their
war
bore
red
crosses
vpon
their
armes
.
In
the
same
yeare
there
was
a
great
blasing
starre
seene
in
the
West
,
and
after
that
followed
a
great
plague
for
the
space
of
two
yeares
through
the
world
:
this
neuerthelesse
hindred
them
not
in
their
designes
,
but
that
they
went
their
intended
journy
,
won
the
City
of
Aelia
from
the
Saracens
,
deliuered
the
Christians
from
their
bondage
and
tax
,
and
chose
Godfrey
of
Lorrain
Earle
of
Bullion
King
thereof
,
whom
they
anointed
in
the
Temple
of
the
holy
Sepulchre
;
but
hee
refused
to
be
crowned
with
a
Crowne
of
gold
,
saying
,
That
it
ill
beseemed
him
to
be
called
King
of
Ierusalem
,
(
the
true
King
whereof
was
Christ
)
or
to
sit
crowned
with
gold
,
in
the
place
where
he
was
crowned
with
thorns
that
was
the
Son
of
the
euer-liuing
God
:
and
then
chose
Arnolphus
of
Rhodes
Patriarch
.
In
the
moneth
of
October
the
same
yeare
,
a
blasing
Starre
of
maruellous
bignesse
appeared
towards
the
South
:
it
seemed
to
be
like
a
wauing
sword
,
foreshewing
no
doubt
the
destruction
of
all
those
that
went
about
to
re-establish
this
earthly
Ierusalem
.
Immediatly
after
the
Feast
of
the
Natiuitie
of
Christ
,
all
the
Christians
of
the
East
countries
vpon
Candlemas
day
came
out
of
Syria
,
but
especially
out
of
Antiochia
,
to
Ierusalem
,
&
in
the
Temple
of
the
holy
Sepulchre
consecrated
their
Bishops
and
Chorasters
,
and
with
one
consent
sung
Illuminare
Ierusalem
.
They
tooke
also
all
the
Cities
,
Castles
,
and
Villages
,
and
ouer
them
set
Bishops
;
created
foure
Principalities
,
one
at
Ierusalem
,
another
at
Antiochia
,
a
third
at
Edissa
,
a
fourth
at
Tripoly
.
Also
certain
Earledomes
and
Baronies
,
as
at
Brito
,
Zidon
,
Caesarea
,
Galilee
,
Ioppa
,
and
Ascalon
.
All
these
were
appointed
to
pay
tribute
to
the
King
of
Ierusalem
.
All
this
was
done
in
the
yere
of
our
Lord
,
1099.
No
sooner
were
these
newes
published
to
the
world
,
but
there
was
an
vniuersall
croysado
through
all
Christendom
,
for
the
conquering
and
winning
of
the
rest
of
the
holy
land
,
but
before
they
could
get
thither
,
they
were
either
slaine
by
the
Grecians
and
other
nations
,
or
els
died
through
famin
&
thirst
:
so
that
in
them
was
fulfilled
the
prophecie
of
Zacharias
,
cap.
12.3
.
where
it
is
said
,
It
shall
happen
that
I
will
make
Ierusalem
an
heauy
stone
for
all
people
all
they
that
lift
it
vp
shal
be
torn
,
though
all
the
people
of
the
earth
be
gathered
together
against
it
.
And
verse
9
,
And
in
that
day
I
will
seeke
to
destroy
all
the
nations
that
come
against
Ierusalem
.
This
yeare
1100
died
Godfrey
King
of
Ierusalem
,
of
a
feuer
,
vpon
the
●8
day
of
Iuly
,
when
he
had
reigned
scarce
a
yere
,
and
was
buried
in
the
temple
of
mount
Calvarie
.
After
him
succeeded
his
brother
Baldovin
the
first
of
that
name
,
&
second
King
of
Ierusalem
.
This
man
reigned
18
years
in
Ierusalem
,
and
being
ouercome
by
Caliphas
Sultan
of
Egypt
,
after
the
losse
of
thirteene
thousand
Christians
,
he
had
much
adoe
to
escape
with
life
.
Within
a
short
time
after
hee
died
without
issue
.
Baldwin
the
second
succeeded
his
vncle
,
and
was
the
third
king
of
Ierusalem
.
He
began
his
reign
Anno
1118.
This
man
ouercame
the
Turks
:
and
the
King
of
Damascus
had
issue
only
one
daughter
,
named
Milesent
,
whom
he
maried
to
the
Earle
of
Angiers
,
and
gaue
with
her
the
kingdom
of
Ierusalem
,
and
died
without
heire
male
,
in
the
yeare
1131.
Fulco
in
right
of
his
wife
succeeded
his
father
in
law
,
&
was
the
fourth
King
of
Ierusalem
.
This
Fulco
was
brother
to
the
King
of
England
,
he
reigned
13
years
,
fought
many
worthy
battels
against
the
Turkes
,
put
3000
of
their
men
to
the
sword
,
tooke
many
of
them
prisoners
and
caried
them
to
Ierusalem
.
After
that
,
as
hee
was
hunting
the
Hare
by
Acon
,
riding
speedily
,
hee
fell
from
his
horse
and
was
sorely
brused
,
whereof
he
died
,
and
left
two
sonnes
called
Baldwin
and
Almerick
.
Baldwin
the
third
was
the
fifth
King
of
Ierusalem
,
and
succeeded
his
father
.
He
won
the
city
of
Ascalon
,
he
rebuilt
the
towne
of
Boza
,
(
which
had
beene
destroyed
)
placed
there
certaine
Knights
Templers
,
he
lost
the
City
of
Edissa
to
the
Saracens
,
where
many
Christians
were
cruelly
slain
.
And
hauing
reigned
19
yeares
he
died
without
issue
.
After
him
succeeded
his
brother
Almerick
,
as
was
the
sixt
king
of
Ierusalem
.
In
the
time
of
this
king
the
Sultan
of
Egypt
gaue
a
great
ouerthrow
to
the
Knights
Templers
;
which
he
seeking
to
reuenge
,
inuaded
Egypt
with
a
great
army
,
besieged
the
great
city
of
Alcaire
,
but
to
small
purpose
;
wherefore
returning
back
to
Ierusalem
,
he
shortly
after
died
,
when
he
had
reigned
12
years
:
he
left
behinde
him
three
children
,
a
sonne
called
Baldwin
,
and
two
daughters
,
Sibilla
and
Isabella
.
Baldwin
the
fourth
succeeded
his
father
,
and
was
the
seuenth
king
of
Ierusalem
;
who
abusing
his
gouernment
was
struck
with
leprosie
,
with
the
contagion
of
which
disease
he
died
miserably
,
in
the
25
yere
of
his
age
,
hauing
reigned
13
years
.
Baldwin
the
fift
of
that
name
,
the
onely
begotten
son
of
his
sister
Sibil
,
by
his
consent
was
chosen
his
successor
,
a
youth
of
9
yeares
old
,
his
fathers
name
was
William
Mountferrat
,
earle
of
March
,
who
dying
,
his
mother
married
one
Guy
Earle
of
Lusignan
,
to
whom
Baldwin
committed
the
protection
of
the
kingdome
and
of
his
yong
kinsman
till
he
came
to
mans
estate
.
But
this
yong
man
within
7
years
after
the
death
of
his
vncle
,
died
sitting
at
his
table
,
not
without
suspition
of
poison
.
Guy
his
protector
,
by
the
persuasion
of
his
wife
,
and
at
the
instigation
of
the
Ierosolimits
,
took
vpon
him
the
gouernment
:
but
Raimond
Earle
of
Tripoli
was
his
great
aduersary
,
for
that
Baldwin
4.
for
his
exceeding
pride
,
at
the
instigation
of
that
Guy
had
displaced
him
of
all
his
Offices
and
titles
in
the
commonwealth
.
These
two
striuing
for
the
kingdom
,
it
hapned
that
Guy
was
charged
with
his
kinsmans
death
,
vnder
which
pretence
Raimond
made
war
against
him
.
During
these
troubles
,
Saladine
Sultan
of
Egypt
taking
aduantage
of
this
opportunitie
,
made
war
vpon
them
both
,
and
with
great
facility
conquered
the
kingdome
and
destroied
Ierusalem
.
In
this
yeare
1187
,
there
happened
so
great
an
Eclipse
of
the
Sunne
,
that
at
noone
day
the
Starres
were
plainely
to
bee
seene
.
Soone
after
this
,
Raimond
and
Guy
were
both
taken
prisoners
,
and
thirty
thousand
Christians
cruelly
put
to
the
sword
.
After
this
,
the
Saracens
sacked
the
Towne
,
threw
the
Bells
out
of
the
Steeples
,
made
stables
of
the
Churches
;
only
the
Temple
on
Mount
Golgotha
stood
vntoucht
:
for
the
Turkes
and
Saracens
honour
Christ
as
a
great
Prophet
.
And
thus
the
new
kingdome
of
the
Christians
in
Ierusalem
ended
,
which
was
vpon
the
second
day
of
October
,
in
the
yeare
1187
,
after
it
had
continued
in
their
possession
88
yeares
.
During
the
continuance
of
this
kingdome
there
were
many
horrible
visions
and
strange
Signes
and
Wonders
seene
both
in
Heauen
,
on
earth
,
and
in
the
ayre
;
foreshewing
(
no
doubt
)
that
God
was
not
well
pleased
with
their
actions
which
sought
to
restore
that
kingdom
of
Ierusalem
.
For
,
My
kingdome
(
saith
Christ
)
is
not
of
this
world
.
And
although
after
that
,
there
were
many
Kings
that
by
all
possible
means
endeauored
to
recouer
and
restore
the
same
,
and
for
that
purpose
haue
leauied
many
great
Armies
,
and
vndertaken
many
tedious
journies
;
yet
all
their
counsels
and
determinations
came
to
nothing
,
for
that
God
so
often
as
they
vndertooke
any
such
expedition
,
either
stayed
their
Armies
,
oppressed
them
with
war
,
or
else
plagued
them
with
famine
,
in
such
an
extreame
measure
,
that
with
very
hunger
they
haue
bin
constrained
to
eat
their
Horses
.
Frederick
Barbarossus
may
be
an
example
of
these
calamities
;
who
with
a
great
army
making
an
expedition
to
Ierusalem
,
as
he
was
trauelling
through
Asia
minor
,
his
horse
started
and
flung
him
into
the
riuer
,
where
he
died
miserably
ere
he
could
be
saued
.
Many
other
Princes
,
besides
in
the
like
enterprise
came
to
the
like
ends
;
for
they
were
either
destroied
by
the
Barbarians
,
with
the
losse
of
thousands
of
their
men
cruelly
slain
,
or
vtterly
destroied
with
vnnatural
diseases
or
vntimely
deaths
.
Now
when
the
Emperour
Fredericke
the
second
of
that
name
had
beseeged
and
brought
to
great
miserie
the
Sultan
of
Egypt
,
and
the
Knights
Templers
had
done
the
like
to
Damieta
;
Corderio
the
Sultans
son
beat
downe
the
walls
of
Ierusalem
,
and
had
it
not
bin
for
the
great
lamentations
and
ernest
entreaties
of
the
Christians
,
he
would
haue
destroied
the
city
;
but
for
their
sakes
he
left
standing
Solomons
Temple
,
and
the
Temple
of
the
holy
Sepulchre
;
for
at
this
time
Christians
inhabit
in
them
.
Within
a
while
after
,
about
the
yeare
1228
,
Fredericke
the
second
of
that
name
,
Emperor
of
Rome
,
went
to
the
holy
land
with
a
great
army
,
and
came
to
Ptolomais
,
otherwise
called
Acon
,
where
staying
a
while
,
he
made
a
league
with
the
Sultan
of
Egipt
for
ten
years
,
regained
Ierusalem
without
drawing
sword
,
&
was
there
crowned
in
the
yeare
1229
,
keeping
at
that
time
in
Ierusalem
a
royal
Easter
.
This
man
fortified
the
Christians
with
a
garrison
,
rebuilt
Nazareth
and
Ioppa
,
and
so
returned
into
Italy
.
In
the
yeare
1246
,
Cassanus
King
of
the
Tartars
being
persuaded
by
the
Sultan
,
with
a
great
army
inuaded
Iudaea
,
won
Ierusalem
,
caused
the
Christians
to
be
cruelly
slaine
,
beat
downe
the
holy
Sepulchre
euen
to
small
pieces
,
and
left
but
little
standing
.
It
was
after
this
destroyed
by
Tamerlaine
King
of
the
Tartars
,
and
by
Mahomet
the
second
of
that
name
,
Emperour
of
the
Turkes
.
But
the
Monkes
had
leaue
to
build
vp
the
holy
Sepulcre
againe
,
for
the
which
they
payed
to
the
Sultan
or
his
Deputy
a
yearely
tribute
.
In
the
yeare
of
our
Lord
1516
,
Selymus
Emperor
of
the
Turks
,
about
the
twenty
fourth
day
of
August
,
neere
to
Damascus
ouercame
Campson
Gaurus
Sultan
of
Egypt
in
a
cruell
Warre
,
and
put
to
death
many
thousands
of
his
men
;
and
the
Sultan
himselfe
seeking
to
saue
his
life
by
flight
was
miserably
slaine
.
This
Selymus
conquered
the
Holy
Land
,
Syria
,
Damascus
,
and
all
the
Countries
thereabouts
;
and
as
he
went
through
Iudaea
,
leauing
his
Army
at
Gaza
,
with
a
few
of
his
Souldiers
he
went
to
Ierusalem
,
that
he
might
see
with
his
eyes
that
place
which
was
made
so
famous
by
the
antient
Writers
,
and
was
so
often
mentioned
in
the
Old
and
New
Testament
.
But
when
he
came
he
found
nothing
but
a
ruinate
and
waste
place
,
barren
and
rude
to
looke
vpon
,
inhabited
by
a
few
poore
Christians
,
and
they
also
held
in
great
contempt
and
bondage
,
paying
a
great
tribute
to
the
Sultan
of
Egypt
,
for
their
liberty
and
the
holy
Sepulchre
,
as
P.
Iouius
writeth
.
But
after
that
Selymus
in
that
place
had
done
his
Offerings
and
Sacrifices
to
his
god
Mahomet
,
seeing
the
Priests
and
Christians
prest
with
extreme
pouertie
,
out
of
his
singular
mercy
and
compassion
gaue
them
a
large
and
sumptuous
gift
,
when
hee
had
stayed
but
one
day
and
one
night
in
the
Towne
.
The
next
morning
before
day
he
went
with
all
expedition
to
his
Army
at
Gaza
,
&
from
thence
into
Egypt
,
where
he
besieged
the
great
and
famous
city
Alcaire
,
and
in
the
yeare
1517
took
it
,
conquered
all
the
country
,
vtterly
extirpated
the
Sultan
,
and
went
away
with
an
honorable
victory
and
rich
booty
.
From
this
yeare
euen
till
now
,
the
towne
of
Aelia
or
Ierusalem
is
vnder
the
jurisdiction
of
the
Turks
.
Thus
may
we
see
how
often
,
and
with
what
miserable
calamities
this
city
hath
bin
afflicted
,
euen
since
the
first
destruction
by
Vespasian
;
which
makes
euident
the
great
iudgment
of
God
not
only
vpon
the
Iews
,
but
also
vpon
the
earth
where
they
inhabited
,
for
their
infidelitie
and
vnmercifull
cruelty
.
The
description
of
Ierusalem
and
the
scituation
thereof
as
it
is
now
in
these
times
.
THe
former
incursions
and
common
desolations
leauing
this
town
ruined
and
spoiled
for
want
of
inhabitants
,
it
became
a
desart
and
forsaken
place
;
onely
some
few
Christians
,
either
out
of
the
zeale
of
religion
,
or
for
vulgar
ostentation
,
to
shew
that
there
had
bin
a
town
,
dwelt
there
:
and
thus
it
continued
vntill
the
yeare
1542.
at
which
time
Solyman
the
great
Turk
,
either
in
respect
of
the
strength
of
the
place
,
or
in
hope
of
profit
,
or
else
to
get
himselfe
a
name
,
with
great
cost
and
labor
re-edified
it
,
set
vp
many
stately
buildings
and
sumptuous
houses
,
beautified
it
with
two
costly
Temples
,
the
one
the
Temple
of
Solomon
,
and
the
other
the
holy
Sepulchre
;
inlarged
the
extent
thereof
,
and
seated
it
vpon
high
hils
.
After
all
this
,
compast
it
about
with
a
spatious
and
thicke
wall
,
and
vpon
that
placed
many
strong
and
stately
towers
,
wherein
there
stands
eight
gates
,
viz.
the
fish
gate
,
the
Old
gate
,
S.
Stephens
gate
(
so
called
because
they
say
S.
Stephen
went
out
by
that
gate
when
hee
was
stoned
)
the
Angle
gate
,
the
Dung
gate
,
the
Sheep
gate
,
the
Golden
and
Fountaine
gates
.
Thus
the
antient
city
,
and
that
which
the
Emperor
Adrian
built
,
being
both
destroied
,
in
another
place
is
set
vp
again
.
So
that
between
both
,
this
new
city
standeth
,
and
the
first
city
begins
to
be
again
inhabited
.
Of
the
Temple
of
the
holy
Sepulchre
.
THis
Temple
lieth
vpon
the
West
within
this
new
towne
,
at
first
fairely
built
by
the
Emperor
Constantine
,
but
destroyed
by
Caliphas
Sultan
of
Egypt
:
then
by
the
Emperours
of
Constantinople
rebuilt
,
which
continueth
to
this
day
.
It
is
round
in
the
proportion
,
adorned
with
79
pillars
30
foot
long
;
the
widenes
by
the
Diameter
(
besides
the
pillars
)
is
73
feet
,
leaded
aboue
,
and
vpon
the
top
of
the
roofe
standeth
a
Lanthorn
,
by
which
the
light
commeth
in
:
this
Lanthorne
is
very
curiously
glased
.
In
the
middle
standeth
the
holy
Sepulchre
.
To
this
ioyneth
the
Church
in
mount
Golgotha
,
and
serueth
in
stead
of
a
Quire
.
It
standeth
something
lower
,
but
all
vnder
one
roofe
.
The
place
where
the
holy
Sepulchre
standeth
is
four
square
,
eight
foot
long
and
eight
broad
,
hewne
out
of
a
rocke
,
and
couered
with
marble
;
there
is
a
little
doore
in
the
East
part
of
it
,
very
low
,
by
which
men
go
into
it
,
and
within
that
the
Sepulchre
it self
standeth
vpon
the
North
side
,
made
of
gray
marble
,
three
handfuls
high
,
and
eight
foot
long
.
There
are
no
windowes
for
light
to
come
to
it
,
but
ouer
there
hangeth
continually
nine
lamps
burning
,
wherby
it
receiueth
light
.
The
vault
of
this
Sepulchre
is
diuided
with
a
wall
;
the
outward
is
both
of
the
same
proportion
and
length
as
the
inward
,
but
that
which
is
without
seemeth
to
be
an
entrie
to
the
inner
caue
where
Christ
was
buried
:
and
there
(
as
some
say
)
euen
to
this
day
is
found
a
piece
of
the
stone
which
the
Angell
rolled
from
the
graue
before
the
resurrection
;
the
other
part
of
the
stone
(
howsoeuer
it
came
there
)
lyes
vpon
mount
Sion
.
But
some
thinke
that
the
Armenians
carried
it
thither
,
because
vpon
it
they
haue
built
an
Altar
.
In
this
inner
caue
there
hangs
nine
lamps
to
giue
light
vnto
them
that
enter
in
by
the
East
;
so
that
in
the
inner
and
outer
Vault
there
standeth
eighteene
Lamps
.
The
Mount
whereon
Christ
was
crucified
seemeth
to
stand
vpon
a
rocke
of
stone
,
whitish
and
somthing
blushing
.
It
is
distant
from
the
holy
Sepulcre
130
foot
.
The
place
where
the
Crosse
stood
was
an
hard
rocke
,
eighteene
steps
in
the
ascent
,
and
answereth
to
nine
and
twenty
feet
.
The
hole
where
the
Crosse
stood
is
about
the
roundnesse
of
a
mans
head
in
latitude
;
and
if
a
man
might
beleeue
the
Monkes
thereabouts
,
they
say
also
that
in
that
place
is
to
be
seene
the
colour
of
our
Sauiours
bloud
euen
to
this
day
.
Vpon
the
left
hand
of
this
there
stands
an
Altar
made
of
marble
,
and
ouer
that
a
sumptuous
Chappel
paued
and
couered
with
polisht
marble
,
gilt
and
adorned
with
refulgent
gold
,
the
wals
wherof
are
very
curiously
wrought
and
gilded
.
In
the
Church
vpon
mount
Golgotha
they
also
shew
part
of
a
pillar
naturally
blacke
,
spect
with
red
spots
,
where
they
say
Christ
was
whipt
,
and
make
the
Vulgar
beleeue
that
these
specks
are
the
drops
of
bloud
that
fell
from
him
.
The
other
part
of
this
Colume
was
caried
to
Constantinople
,
as
it
was
thought
.
In
this
church
Godfrey
first
Christian
King
of
Ierusalem
,
and
the
rest
of
his
successors
lie
buried
.
Of
the
Temple
of
Solomon
as
it
is
at
this
day
.
THis
Temple
lieth
towards
the
East
,
and
was
built
by
the
Christians
iust
in
the
same
place
where
the
former
Temple
stood
at
the
time
when
this
City
was
rebuilt
and
inlarged
.
The
body
thereof
is
very
high
and
spatious
,
and
built
of
polisht
marble
,
adorned
with
most
exquisit
and
curious
workemanship
,
very
artificiall
and
glorious
both
within
and
without
,
insomuch
that
the
polished
stones
cast
a
singular
beautifull
and
resplendant
lustre
.
Aboue
it
is
couered
with
lead
,
and
was
built
vp
at
the
cost
and
labor
of
the
Grecians
;
in
the
roofe
whereof
the
Turks
place
an
halfe
moone
,
as
they
vsually
doe
in
all
such
churches
wherein
they
come
and
haue
authority
.
The
Turkes
and
Saracens
haue
this
Temple
in
great
reuerence
and
deuotion
,
they
adorne
it
(
according
to
their
custome
)
with
diuers
artificial
pictures
and
emblems
.
They
will
suffer
no
Christians
to
enter
into
it
,
nor
any
Iewes
vpon
paine
of
death
.
And
if
it
happens
that
at
any
time
they
go
into
it
,
they
first
wash
themselues
with
water
very
clean
,
then
put
off
their
hose
and
shoos
,
and
so
go
bare
foot
.
This
Temple
they
call
the
holy
Rocke
,
and
in
the
body
thereof
there
hangeth
700
lamps
which
burne
night
and
day
.
In
the
midst
hereof
there
standeth
a
certaine
little
rocke
euery
where
indented
with
yron
,
neere
to
which
not
any
of
the
Saracens
or
Infidels
dare
to
approach
or
touch
,
although
there
come
many
very
farre
to
visit
it
:
for
they
beleeue
that
there
were
many
memorable
&
worthy
things
done
in
that
rock
:
they
think
that
Melchisedeck
the
first
Priest
of
the
great
God
offered
bread
and
wine
vpon
it
,
Genes.
14.
and
that
here
the
Patriarch
Iacob
saw
the
Ladder
which
reached
from
heauen
to
earth
,
Gen.
28.
which
indeed
hapned
not
in
Ierusalem
,
but
in
Bethel
,
as
the
Scriptures
witnesse
.
Further
they
beleeue
,
that
vpon
this
stone
Dauid
saw
the
Angel
of
the
Lord
standing
with
a
shaken
sword
when
he
strook
the
city
with
the
pestilence
,
2
Sam.
24.
and
that
the
Priests
of
the
old
Testament
offered
vpon
this
stone
their
sacrifices
to
the
Lord
,
which
were
deuoured
with
fire
from
heauen
.
All
which
things
do
vtterly
differ
from
holy
Scripture
.
The
Iewes
also
are
of
opinion
,
That
the
prophet
Ieremy
about
the
time
of
the
captiuity
of
Babylon
,
in
this
stone
hid
the
Ark
of
the
Couenant
,
vntill
such
time
as
the
Lord
brought
the
people
backe
again
from
the
captiuitie
.
Which
is
contrarie
also
to
the
books
of
the
holy
Scripture
;
for
,
2
Mach.
2.
it
is
said
,
it
was
hid
in
the
mount
Nebo
,
where
Moses
stood
when
he
saw
the
whole
land
of
Canaan
.
Also
the
Turkes
say
that
Christ
sate
vpon
this
stone
when
Simeon
tooke
him
in
his
armes
and
blessed
him
.
Here
also
he
sate
in
the
midst
of
the
Doctors
when
he
was
but
twelue
yeares
of
age
,
Luk.
2.
which
also
differeth
from
the
Scripture
;
for
this
was
not
the
body
of
the
Temple
,
but
in
the
middle
court
or
Solomons
porch
,
which
sometimes
was
taken
for
the
Temple
,
because
it
ioyned
to
it
.
And
diuers
circumstances
of
the
Scripture
do
seeme
to
make
this
euident
,
because
heere
Christ
taught
,
and
here
the
people
vsually
met
together
,
as
appeareth
,
Iosh.
10.
and
Psal.
72.
About
the
Temple
of
Ierusalem
there
is
a
fair
Plain
much
resembling
our
Church
yards
,
all
paued
with
marble
stone
.
To
this
there
is
adioyning
a
faire
Church
couered
with
lead
,
&
was
somtimes
called
Solomons
porch
;
but
after
the
Christians
had
woon
Ierusalem
they
gaue
it
the
name
of
S.
Maries
.
The
Turke
keepes
burning
in
this
daily
800
lamps
,
and
it
is
much
greater
than
that
of
Solomons
Temple
.
The
Sultan
of
Egypt
also
about
an
hundred
yeares
before
,
built
a
little
Church
or
Moscho
close
by
Solomons
Temple
,
wherein
are
continually
burning
88
Lampes
.
There
is
a
vault
vnder
the
Temple
of
the
blessed
Virgin
Mary
,
of
such
an
extraordinary
greatnesse
that
600
horse
may
easily
be
placed
in
it
.
And
thus
we
may
see
the
Temple
of
Solomon
and
city
of
Ierusalem
not
only
to
be
in
the
power
of
the
Turkes
,
but
also
prophaned
with
the
blasphemous
doctrine
of
Mahomet
.
And
also
we
may
here
behold
the
abomination
of
desolation
standing
in
the
holy
place
where
somtime
was
the
Ark
of
the
Couenant
,
Dan.
9.
Mat.
24.
and
the
prophecie
of
Ieremy
is
fully
finished
,
ca.
19.
This
place
shall
be
vnclean
like
vnto
the
place
of
Tophet
,
where
they
did
sacrifice
to
the
Host
of
heauen
,
and
vnto
other
strange
gods
.
Of
other
buildings
within
the
city
of
Aelia
,
which
is
now
called
Ierusalem
.
MOunt
Sion
is
placed
toward
the
South
of
Ierusalem
,
where
euen
at
this
day
the
Monks
vndertake
to
shew
the
ruines
of
Dauids
Tower
,
the
sepulchres
of
the
Kings
of
Israel
,
and
many
other
holy
places
.
But
P.
Orosius
and
other
Historians
write
,
How
in
the
time
of
Adrian
Caesar
there
happened
a
great
earthquake
in
such
a
terrible
maner
,
that
the
mountain
of
Sion
with
the
sepulchre
of
Dauid
fel
down
and
were
vtterly
defaced
.
Further
all
true
Historians
do
write
,
That
Adrian
the
Emperour
did
so
much
deface
the
City
,
that
hee
left
not
a
stone
standing
vpon
a
stone
,
nay
not
a
whole
stone
,
but
all
were
broken
into
small
pieces
;
and
yet
notwithstanding
pilgrims
are
so
mad
and
blind
,
that
they
go
thither
with
great
pains
to
seeke
those
holy
places
,
where
when
they
come
,
with
the
expence
of
a
great
deale
of
time
,
in
recompence
of
their
pains
are
made
a
laughing
stocke
to
the
Kings
of
Ierusalem
,
and
find
nothing
but
feigned
and
supposed
holy
places
and
buildings
:
since
the
words
of
our
Sauior
manifest
,
That
there
shall
not
be
a
stone
left
vpon
a
stone
which
shall
not
be
broken
to
pieces
.
And
Borchardus
the
Monk
saith
,
That
the
Romans
caused
the
Temple
and
other
princely
buildings
,
together
with
the
mountains
,
to
be
thrown
downe
and
cast
into
the
vallies
,
with
which
being
filled
,
there
remaineth
not
so
much
as
an
Emblem
of
the
old
Citie
.
From
whence
may
euidently
appeare
,
That
those
places
which
are
now
shewen
to
Pilgrims
by
the
Monkes
of
Ierusalem
,
are
meerly
suborned
and
feigned
,
on
purpose
to
deceiue
them
&
get
their
mony
.
They
are
very
simple
therefore
that
go
to
Ierusalem
seeke
their
saluation
in
such
places
.
And
as
for
the
Sepulchre
(
as
is
aforesaid
)
the
Tartars
beat
it
all
in
pieces
;
so
that
this
monument
of
our
Lord
is
not
to
be
found
vpon
the
earth
.
Wherefore
our
Sauiour
Christ
is
no
more
to
be
sought
among
the
dead
,
but
in
the
sacred
monument
of
his
holy
word
,
for
there
he
hath
promised
to
make
euident
his
divine
presence
,
&c.
Of
the
Sects
that
are
in
and
about
the
Temple
of
the
holy
Sepulchre
.
IN
and
about
the
church
which
is
built
ouer
the
holy
sepulcre
vpon
mount
Calvarie
,
there
are
at
this
day
many
of
diuers
nations
and
countries
which
inhabit
,
of
diuers
opinions
and
Religions
.
And
although
they
differ
in
material
points
of
their
faith
,
yet
would
they
be
al
Christians
:
of
which
number
there
are
some
Latines
,
Greekes
,
Abissines
,
Armenians
,
Gregorians
,
Nestorians
,
Surians
,
and
Iacobins
.
The
Latines
for
the
most
part
are
such
as
wee
call
Franciscan
Monks
,
Obseruants
,
or
Friers
.
The
Grecians
that
are
there
be
also
Monkes
,
The
rest
of
the
Grecians
that
are
through
the
East
parts
leaue
mariage
free
,
as
well
for
the
Clergy
as
Laity
,
and
condemne
the
Latine
Priests
because
they
marry
not
.
They
allow
no
grauen
images
in
their
Churches
,
but
in
some
places
of
their
Churches
they
haue
faire
painted
pictures
hanging
.
They
approue
not
the
Pope
,
but
haue
a
Patriarch
for
their
high
Bishop
,
which
Patriark
is
greatly
reuerenced
,
and
much
honored
in
Constantinople
.

,
their
habitation
is
in

vpon

,

side
of

Church

:
They
also
approue
not
the
Pope
,
but
allow
Priests
to
mary
,
and
giue
the
sacrament
in
both
kinds
;
yet
there
are
many
sects
and
opinions
among
them
,
forbearing
those
meats
forbidden
in
the
old
Testament
:
they
circumcise
both
male
and
female
,
which
the
Iews
do
not
;
they
obserue
our
Saturday
for
their
Sabbath
;
they
baptise
their
children
with
fire
,
of
which
I
will
speake
more
hereafter

Hereby
you
may
note
,
how
the
temple
of
the
holy
Sepulchre
in
Ierusalem
is
filled
with
many
Sects
,
who
altogether
giue
and
pay
tribute
to
the
Emperour
of
the
Turkes
;
whereby
you
may
see
that
Christ
will
be
no
more
sought
in
the
holy
Sepulchre
,
but
rather
in
the
holy
Euangelists
,
where
he
suffereth
himselfe
to
be
found
by
all
those
that
seeke
him
with
a
pure
heart
.
Of
the
Sects
of
the
Iewes
.
IN
these
our
times
the
Iewes
do
inhabite
in
Ierusalem
,
and
are
diuided
into
many
sects
,
that
is
to
say
,
Pharises
,
Saduces
,
Essaes
,
Genisteis
,
Morboneis
,
and
Meristeis
.
The
Pharises
tooke
that
name
from
the
interpretation
of
the
law
,
and
is
deriued
from
the
Hebrew
word
Parasch
,
which
signifies
to
expound
:
so
that
Pharasei
is
as
much
to
say
as
Doctor
or
expounder
of
the
law
:
they
approue
of
Moses
and
the
Prophets
;
they
hold
the
immortalitie
of
the
soule
:
but
of
Christ
and
the
principall
parts
of
his
Doctrine
,
of
the
law
,
of
sinne
,
and
of
ceremonies
,
they
haue
many
vngodly
opinions
and
expositions
.
They
faine
that
the
law
was
instituted
by
God
for
outward
discipline
;
that
sinne
is
onely
outward
transgression
&
the
violating
of
mens
traditions
:
they
hold
there
is
no
originall
sinne
,
but
that
men
may
performe
the
Law
,
and
merit
euerlasting
life
;
besides
many
other
things
,
as
washings
,
fastings
,
offering
gifts
in
the
Temple
,
and
such
like
ceremonies
;
of
which
there
is
no
commandement
extant
in
the
Scripture
.

The
Saduces
giue
themselues
an
honorable
title
,
being
deriued
from
Zedukim
or
Zeddikim
,
calling
themselues
just
,
from
the
word
Zadok
,
He
was
just
,
and
by
Amphetresim
is
not
vnproperly
deriued
from
Dicaioo
,
or
Dicaios
,
signifying
justus
:
and
by
Prothesin
in
Latine
,
Iudex
a
Iudge
.
So
that
Zaddik
or
Zadducaeus
signifies
a
just
Iudge
,
which
would
judge
all
others
,
but
they
themselues
were
without
offence
:
Thus
the
worst
men
got
the
best
names
.
They
onely
allow
the
fiue
bookes
of
Moses
;
they
dreame
the
Messias
should
be
an
earthly
king
;
they
beleeue
the
soules
of
men
to
bee
mortall
,
and
to
perish
with
their
bodies
;
they
doe
not
beleeue
the
resurrection
,
nor
that
there
are
either
Angels
,
Spirits
,
or
Diuels
.
The
Essaes
had
rather
be
called
Studients
,
taking
their
name
from
Asa
,
vnder
which
title
they
would
seeme
to
reprehend
,
and
amongst
other
things
auoid
the
profane
liberty
of
the
Saduces
and
approue
not
the
arrogant
dissimulation
of
the
Pharises
;
but
that
they
teach
more
diuine
and
profitable
precepts
.

o●
them
read
some
part
of

,
or
some
of
the
Prophets
;
all
of
them
both
yong
and
old
at
certaine
times
of
the
day
,
say
prayers
.
They
haue
no
new
kinde
of

,

imbrace
the
Priesthood
of
Moses
:
They
dwell
in
the
desarts

in

it
.
These
call
themselues
great
and
noble
,
and
are
of
the
stocke
of
those
that
in
the
captiuitie
of
Babylon
married
the
wiues
of
other
nations
:
of
which
you
may
reade
in
Nehem.
So
that
they
are
halfe
Gentiles
,
halfe
Iewes
,
and
account
themselues
to
be
of
the
Nobilitie
.
The
Morboneis
very
solemnly
obserue
the
Saboth
,
which
many
others
that
are
flatterers
of
the
Turkes
and
Saracens
doe
not
:
there
are
a
great
company
of
these
;
for
almost
all
the
Iewes
doe
very
superstitiously
celebrate
the
Saboth
:
and
therfore
they
take
their
name
partly
from
a
Multitude
,
and
parly
from
Vsurie
;
for
Merebech
in
Hebrew
signifies
a
multitude
,
and
Tarebah
Vsurie
.
Meristeis
are
those
Iewes
that
diuide
the
Scripture
,
and
say
the
Prophets
spoke
not
all
with
one
spirit
;
and
what
they
list
they
make
Scripture
,
and
what
they
list
they
leaue
out
:
and
therefore
the
Grecians
call
them
Meristein
,
which
signifies
to
diuide
.
There
are
also
others
in
these
our
times
that
are
Iewes
too
,
but
they
are
called
Samaritanes
,
which
onely
approue
of
the
Mosaicall
law
,
and
reject
the
rest
of
the
Scriptures
and
Prophets
.
These
are
so
called
from
Keeping
:
for
this
word
Schamar
properly
signifies
to
preserue
or
keepe
a
speech
in
heart
,
and
hath
therefore
a
certaine
congruitie
and
consonance
with
the
Latine
word
Sermo
:
so
that
Schamar
in
Hebrew
,
and
Sermo
in
Latine
,
are
much
what
of
one
signification
.
But
all
the
Iewes
,
except
the
Saduces
haue
one
faith
;
they
thinke
they
may
fulfill
the
commandements
,
and
by
their
owne
workes
be
iustified
and
purchase
eternall
life
.
They
deny
the
Trinitie
and
Christ
,
and
do
beleeue
that
their
Messias
is
yet
to
come
,
and
shall
bring
them
backe
againe
into
the
land
of
Promise
.
Of
the
Saracens
and
Turkes
which
inhabit
in
Ierusalem
:
of
their
faith
and
religion
.
THe
Saracens
are
a
people
of
Arabia
the
stony
;
of
the
posteritie
of
Ishmael
the
son
of
Abraham
,
which
he
begat
of
Hagar
.
From
whence
they
are
rightly
called
Agarins
,
notwithstanding
they
had
rather
bee
called
Saracens
.
Others
call
them
Saracens
,
à
Saraca
,
which
is
a
part
of
Arabia
the
stony
.
It
seemeth
therefore
that
these
people
tooke
their
name
from
a
principality
;
for
Sarar
in
Hebrew
is
the
same
that
Principatum
gessit
is
in
Latine
,
or
if
you
will
,
Principatum
obtinuit
,
which
signifies
(
to
obtaine
Principalitie
.
)
And
therefore
the
Saracens
,
or
Sarazens
,
may
be
said
Princes
or
Captaines
,
whose
Principalitie
extends
it selfe
far
and
neere
:
but
Agarins
signifies
Peregrinators
;
for
Gor
or
Gar
is
as
much
to
say
as
a
Pilgrim
.
These
people
combined
themselues
with
Mahomet
that
false
Prophet
,
borne
of
obscure
parentage
:
his
fathers
name
was
Abdiminech
,
of
his
wife
that
was
of
the
family
of
Ishmael
,
or
of
the
Saracens
,
borne
in
Arabia
the
stony
,
(
and
as
it
is
exprest
in
their
Alcaron
)
vpon
the
xxj
.
day
of
September
,
according
to
our
account
,
about
the
yeare
of
Christ
570.
he
tooke
his
name
from
a
tumultuous
confusion
:
for
hamah
signifies
tumultuatus
est
,
he
hath
beene
tumultuous
;
And
Hamam
,
tumultuando
disturbauit
,
He
diuided
by
contention
.
From
hence
Maimo
signifies
tumultuor
,
A
contender
,
and
Maiomai
,
concitor
,
a
rebell
.
From
whence
may
be
gathered
,
That
Mahomet
is
an
ominous
&
seditious
name
.
Whiles
he
was
in
his
infancie
hee
liued
with
his
father
;
after
,
being
of
a
prompt
wit
,
he
serued
one
Abdomoneplis
a
Merchant
,
in
whose
seruice
conuersing
with
Christians
and
Iewes
,
he
got
a
smattering
knowledge
of
the
old
and
new
Testament
,
and
many
acquaintance
;
amongst
which
was
one
Sergius
an
Arian
Monke
,
a
man
very
well
affected
of
this
Abdomoneplis
.
Abdomoneplis
died
,
and
by
the
persuasion
of
this
Monke
,
Mahomet
married
Cadican
his
wife
,
although
she
was
fiftie
yeares
of
age
,
and
by
her
had
great
riches
:
shee
soone
after
also
died
,
and
left
Mahomet
all
that
shee
had
.
He
on
a
sudden
,
being
lift
vp
to
this
height
of
substance
,
grew
very
ambitious
(
for
he
was
naturally
proud
,
wrathfull
,
a
theefe
,
a
whoremaster
,
a
most
impudent
adulterer
,
and
whersoeuer
he
came
made
hauocke
of
all
things
.
(
This
man
by
the
helpe
of
the
Sarazens
and
others
,
affected
the
kingdome
of
Arabia
,
which
within
short
time
after
he
obtained
,
entring
Mecha
the
chiefe
city
therof
,
vpon
Thursday
the
fifteenth
of
Iuly
,
Anno
Dom.
622.
and
by
the
helpe
of
two
Iewes
and
this
Sergius
,
wrote
that
blasphemous
Law
of
the
Alcoron
,
falsly
professing
himselfe
to
be
a
Prophet
,
and
began
cruelly
to
oppose
himselfe
against
all
neighbouring
nations
and
cities
.
The
Alcaron
taketh
the
name
from
Splendor
or
Brightnesse
;
for
Al
in
the
Arabicke
,
is
as
much
as
Karan
in
the
Hebrew
,
and
that
signifies
to
shine
or
cast
forth
a
brightnesse
.
This
Alcaron
containes
a
blasphemous
and
detestable
law
,
written
in
the
Arabian
tongue
without
any
order
or
colour
of
knowledge
,
teaching
manifest
lyes
,
and
execrable
blasphemies
against
God
;
and
for
the
most
part
,
the
pleasures
and
delights
of
this
world
:
for
he
doth
deny
that
there
is
one
eternall
essence
of
the
Deitie
,
and
the
holy
Trinitie
;
our
Sauiour
Christ
they
one
while
call
the
Sonne
of
God
,
and
another
while
,
the
Soule
or
Spirit
of
God
.
They
deny
his
Deitie
,
but
say
,
that
he
was
a
holy
man
,
borne
without
a
father
,
of
the
chast
and
incorruptible
Virgin
Marie
.
And
although
he
was
before
all
beginning
,
yet
they
beleeue
that
he
was
not
begotten
,
but
created
before
all
other
essentiall
creatures
,
by
the
eternall
God
.
Also
they
say
hee
was
not
crucified
,
but
some
other
in
his
place
;
and
therefore
the
saluation
of
man
not
to
consist
in
the
merits
of
Christ
,
but
in
our
owne
proper
workes
.
And
that
the
Iewes
might
embrace
the
Alcaron
,
they
retaine
Circumcision
,
which
is
commonly
done
when
the
children
are
thirteene
yeares
of
age
;
about
which
time
,
Ishmael
was
circumcised
.
They
forbeare
the
meates
forbidden
in
the
Law
;
they
haue
many
wiues
at
one
time
;
they
tollerate
a
bil
of
Diuorce
,
and
affirme
that
after
the
resurrection
men
may
haue
many
wiues
,
and
with
them
banquet
,
surfet
,
and
vse
pleasant
recreations
,
with
diuers
such
errours
and
vaine
trifles
,
which
for
breuities
sake
I
omit
.
That
hee
might
the
better
perswade
men
to
embrace
and
beleeue
these
his
lies
,
and
blasphemous
doctrines
,
he
very
cunningly
seemed
to
confirme
them
with
many
false
and
fained
miracles
:
and
amongst
the
rest
this
was
one
:
Hauing
taught
a
white
Doue
to
fetch
corne
in
his
eare
,
whiles
he
was
preaching
to
the
people
,
it
chanced
she
came
and
sat
vpon
his
shoulder
,
and
putting
her
bill
into
his
eare
according
to
her
accustomed
manner
,
he
persuaded
the
people
that
it
was
the
spirit
of
God
,
which
deliuered
him
the
words
of
the
Law
.
A
Bull
also
,
taught
after
the
same
manner
,
at
his
voice
came
before
him
,
and
kneeling
downe
did
him
reuerence
,
with
the
Alcaron
tied
vpon
his
hornes
;
which
he
affirmed
was
come
from
heauen
and
brought
that
new
Law
.
Then
did
hee
make
diuers
hornes
of
gold
and
siluer
,
and
filling
them
full
of
milke
hid
them
in
the
earth
:
after
which
,
in
a
great
assembly
he
caused
the
same
places
to
be
opened
,
and
told
the
people
that
these
signified
plenty
and
abundance
,
to
all
such
as
kept
and
obserued
that
Law
:
But
the
violaters
thereof
should
be
punished
with
death
.
Together
with
many
other
such
like
idle
and
foolish
miracles
,
(
which
would
be
too
tedious
to
recite
)
that
he
might
make
the
people
beleeue
that
it
came
from
God
.
And
being
afflicted
with
the
falling
sickenesse
,
gaue
it
out
,
that
then
the
Angell
Gabriel
told
him
the
Law
,
making
this
likewife
a
meanes
to
further
his
designes
:
but
after
,
viz.
vpon
the
eighth
of
Iune
,
Anno
Dom.
632.
and
in
the
sixtie
one
yeare
of
his
age
,
he
died
miserably
of
this
disease
,
after
he
had
raigned
in
Mecha
ten
yeres
;
and
Enbubizer
or
Abubachar
his
father
in
law
succeeded
him
in
the
gouernement
,
who
built
in
his
honour
a
Church
,
and
in
that
put
his
sepulchre
,
both
stately
and
sumptuous
.
The
Turkes
also
embrace
this
doctrine
,
and
joyned
their
forces
with
the
Saracens
:
They
extended
their
Empire
vnder
Mahomet
the
third
,
into
Asia
,
Europe
,
and
Affrica
.
They
deriue
their
name
(
as
I
suppose
)
from
Crueltie
;
for
Turca
signifieth
A
cruell
destroyer
,
or
an
armed
enemie
,
being
deriued
from
the
Hebrew
word
Tarach
,
that
is
,
to
effect
his
purpose
.
From
whence
they
are
not
improperly
called
of
the
Graecians
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
to
vex
and
make
wearie
;
or
else
from
the
Hebrew
word
Tachaera
,
which
signifies
a
shield
;
and
from
the
Greeke
word
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
and
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
to
put
on
a
shield
,
and
to
arme
themselues
:
for
the
Turkes
are
armed
enemies
,
and
destroyers
of
the
whole
world
:
And
by
Ezechiel
are
called
Gog
and
Magog
,
cap.
38.
&
39.
of
Magog
which
was
the
son
of
Iaphet
,
Gen.
10.
and
as
some
thinke
inhabited
the
North
parts
of
the
world
.
Pliny
places
them
in
Bospherus
,
Cimmerius
,
Scythia
,
&c.
which
lieth
toward
the
East
.
But
indeed
they
haue
often
changed
their
residence
,
and
haue
come
into
Persia
,
Armenia
,
Syria
,
Palestina
,
Arabia
,
&
cruelly
destroyed
them
,
vntil
they
had
conquered
Constantinople
,
and
got
a
great
part
of
Europe
;
and
haue
infected
the
mindes
of
al
the
inhabitants
in
those
parts
with
their
manners
,
slaughters
,
and
rapines
,
according
to
that
blasphemous
Law
of
the
Alcaron
.
They
first
afflicted
those
parts
about
the
yeare
of
our
Lord
760.
Constantius
Copronius
,
being
then
the
Emperour
of
Rome
;
since
which
time
they
haue
conquered
a
great
part
of
the
World
.
A
Relation
of
the
Trauells
and
Peregrinations
of
the
Saints
and
holy
Patriarchs
,
as
they
are
seuerally
mentioned
in
the
first
Booke
of
MOSES
.
And
first
of
the
first
man
,
ADAM
.
ADAM
the
first
man
,
tooke
his
name
from
Adamah
,
which
signifies
redde
earth
,
because
he
was
made
of
the
redde
slime
of
the
earth
.
Therefore
the
Latines
deriue
Homo
from
Humo
;
also
the
Graecians
from
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
which
signifies
the
earth
.
But
when
man
was
layed
open
to
all
calamities
,
miseries
,
yea
&
death
,
the
Hebrews
called
him
Enosh
,
which
signifies
,
a
mortall
and
miserable
man
:
for
this
attribute
to
man
agreeth
with
the
word
Nosch
,
which
signifies
to
be
sicke
of
a
deadly
disease
.
There
are
some
that
thinke
that
man
was
made
in
Syria
neere
to
Damascus
,
because
there
is
found
much
redde
earth
.
Others
say
neere
to
Hebron
a
citie
in
the
Tribe
of
Iuda
,
and
there
also
lies
buried
;
for
in
a
caue
neere
that
place
,
lies
much
redde
earth
,
which
the
inhabitants
euen
to
this
day
shew
vnto
Pilgrims
:
but
this
is
nothing
to
the
purpose
,
since
we
know
that
man
was
first
created
,
and
then
brought
into
Paradise
,

Of

PAradise
,
which
in
Greeke
is
〈◊〉
〈◊〉

〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
and
in
Hebrew
Pardes
,
signifies
a
pleasant
Garden
plentifully
furnished
with
fruitfull
trees
,
but
principally
Myrtle
trees
,
which
beareth
a
kinde
of
berrie
of
a
very
delectable
taste
:
for
this
Hebrew
word
seemeth
to
be
a
compound
,
that
is
,
of
Parah
,
which
signifies
to
fructifie

Hadas

;
of
the
fruit
of
which
tree
,
there
is
made
a
certaine
wine
called
mirtle
or
mulberrie
wine
:
the
mysterie
hereof
is
,
that
Christ
is
that
tree
of
life
,
that
fruitful
and
pleasant
mirtle
,
wherby
we
are
raised
vp
vnto

Munster
,
an

:
and
in
the
Bible
it
is
called
Eden
,
a
place
plentifully
furnished
with
al
things
necessary
for
the
procuring
of
pleasure
&
delight
.
The
Grecians
call
it
Hedone
,
which
signifies
an
extraordinary
delectable
and
pleasant
place
;
for
in
it
there
was
great
aboundance
of
all
things
,
as
well
of
trees
,
fruits
,
herbes
,
and
sweet
smelling
floures
,
as
of
beasts
and
fowles
of
the
heauen
.
Into
this
place
God
put
man
,
to
dresse
it
and
keep
it
:
But
where
it
stood
,
and
whether
it
be
now
vpon
the
earth
,
there
are
diuers
opinions
:
the
Romanists
hold
,
that
it
is
placed
in
the
East
without
the
Tropicks
:
others
would
haue
it
vnder
the
Aequator
,
because
it
is
a
very
temperate
region
:
but
experience
tells
vs
,
that
there
it
is
very
hot
and
scorching
:
others
think
it
stands
vpon
the
top
of
a
high
mountain
,
free
from
all
the
violent
motions
and
impressions
of
the
ayre
,
in
which
place
they
hold
Aenoch
and
Eliah
are
yet
liuing
:
there
are
others
that
assigne
the
whole
East
part
to
be
Paradise
,
and
that
there
were
some
peculiar
places
most
fruitfull
,
of
which
they
thinke
was
Syria
,
Damascus
,
Arabia
Foelix
,
Egipt
and
Iudaea
,
in
which
part
man
was
put
.
They
also
say
,
that
the
tree
of
Knowledge
stood
vpon
Mount
Caluary
,
neere
about
that
place
where
Christ
was
crucified
,
so
that
he
made
satisfaction
for
sinne
in
the
same
place
where
sinne
was
first
committed
.
And
this
I
hold
to
be
the
better
opinion
;
and
that
it
remained
till
the
deluge
,
kept
in
the
custody
of
Angells
,
at
Gods
appointment
,
and
by
the
floud
,
together
with
other
creatures
,
was
abolished
.
And
for
that
saying
of
our
Sauior
to
the
theefe
vpon
the
crosse
,
This
day
shalt
thou
be
with
me
in
Paradise
,
is
not
to
be
vnderstood
of
the
earthly
Paradise
,
but
of
the
heauenly
,
the
place
of
the
blessed
angels
and
saints
,
where
God
with
his
diuine
majesty
filleth
them
with
the
light
of
righteousnesse
,
and
quickneth
them
with
eternall
life
.
This
place
Paul
cals
the
third
heauen
,
and
that
heauenly
Paradise
of
which
the
earthly
Paradise
is
a
type
,

Of
the
foure
Riuers
that
watered
Paradise
.
THe
foure
Flouds
of
Paradise
,
were
,
Pison
,
Gihon
,
Hidekel
,
and
Euphrates
,
Gen.

There
was
but
one
Fountaine
of
all
these
floods
,
and
this
was
in
Paradise
it selfe
,
which
in
those
times
was
diuided
into
foure
streames
.
But
as
by
the
Flood
all
the
face
of
the
earth
was
changed
,
so
likewise
were
these
riuers
,
and
their
Fountains
and
Channells
altered
from
the
places
where
at
first
they
were
;
notwithstanding
,
in
memory
of
them
,
there
remaines
some
reliques
,
though
perhaps
not
in
the
same
place
,
nor
springing
out
of
one
and
the
same
Fountaine
,
as
they
did
before
.
And
as
the
Mediterranean
sea
,
the
gulph
of
Arabia
,
and
many
other
Meeres
and
Lakes
,
before
the
Flood
,
were
not
,
but
(
by
the
generall
consent
of
all
learned
men
)
hapned
by
that
huge
inundation
;
the
same
may
be
said
of
these
Riuers
.
The
head
,
or
beginning
of
the
Riuer
Pischon
or
Pison
,
is
4800
miles
Eastward
from
Ierusalem
,
and
is
like
vnto
an
arme
of
the
Sea
,
some
12
or
16
miles
ouer
,
and
for
that
cause
it
taketh
the
name
from
Posch
,
that
is
,
increasing
,
or
,
of
an
extraordinary
greatnes
:
from
hence
the
Grecians
cal
it
Phuson
,
because
it
diuides
it selfe
into
diuers
Riuolets
or
Streames
.
It
compasseth
in
Hauilah
,
it
diuideth
that
part
of
the
world
which
wee
call
India
,
into
the
outward
and
inward
:
and
there
is
called
Ganges
,
taking
that
name
from
an
Aethiopian
King
called
Gange
,
as
Swydas
saith
.
Some
say
it
is
vnknowne
where
it
first
riseth
:
others
say
it
riseth
in
Scythia
,
and
watereth
all
the
neighbour
countries
as
it
passeth
along
,
as
Nylus
doth
,
and
so
being
dispersed
into
30
channels
,
diuideth
India
with
one
of
them
:
the
narrowest
place
of
Ganges
is
8
miles
ouer
,
and
the
shallowest
100
foot
deepe
,
it
bringeth
forth
Dolphins
,
Crocodiles
,
and
diuers
other
creatures
.
Solinus
and
Strabo
saith
,
That
the
Riuer
Tygris
riseth
in
Armenia
,
a
very
faire
and
cleare
Fountaine
;
it
is
distant
from
Ierusalem
six
hundred
miles
towards
the
North
:
it
runneth
with
such
an
exceeding
swiftnesse
,
that
fishes
cannot
swimme
against
it
,
and
passeth
through
the
lake
of
Arthusia
,
without
once
mingling
it selfe
with
the
water
:
and
for
this
cause
it
is
called
Tigris
,
which
signifies
,
a
dart
,
and
a
beast
of
extraordinary
swiftnesse
and
cruelty
.
This
Riuer
running
from
towards
the
North
and
the
rising
of
the
Sunne
,
it
compasseth
in
Mesopotamia
,
and
passeth
by
the
borders
of
Media
and
Assiria
,
and
after
that
of
Chaldaea
and
Arabia
,
it
there
receiueth
in
the
Riuer
Hydaspis
,
and
so
joyning
with
Euphrates
,
falls
into
the
lake
of
Persia
.
The
Hebrews
called
this
Riuer
Chidikill
from
Chadad
,
which
signifies
acute
,
and
Kalal
,
light
,
for
it
is
a
swift
running
streame
:
from
hence
the
Graecians
call
it
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
;
the
Latines
,
Celer
;
the
Germans
,
Ein
Zelter
,
which
signifies
with
vs
,
a
horse
swiftly
running
;
for
it
passeth
away
swifter
than
an
arrow
out
of
a
bow
.
Going
towards
the
East
,
some
36
miles
from
the
ancient
Babylon
,
it
runneth
through
a
towne
called
Bagedeth
,
bordering
vpon
Turkie
and
Persia
,
and
from
thence
towards
the
latitude
,
to
a
towne
called
Argentaratus
,
where
it
changeth
the
name
to
Tigris
;
in
that
place
it
runneth
so
extreme
swift
,
that
it
will
make
a
mans
head
dizzie
to
looke
vpon
it
.
Strabo
saith
,
the
Riuer
Euphrates
riseth
out
of
a
mountaine
in
Armenia
,
called
Nipha
,
some
300
miles
from
the
Citie
of
Ierusalem
towards
the
North
,
watering
Mesopotamia
and
Chaldaea
,
and
passing
through
the
midst
of
that
flourishing
Citie
Babylon
,
diuides
it
into
two
parts
;
and
after
passing
through
,
and
fructifying
Arabia
,
it
joyneth
with
the
Flood
Tigris
,
and
falls
into
the
Persian
gulfe
.
Semiramis
Queene
of
the
Assyrians
and
of
Babylon
,
built
a
bridge
ouer
the
narrowest
place
of
this
Riuer
,
being
some
three
quarters
of
a
mile
ouer
.
The
Hebrewes
call
this
Riuer
,
Parah
,
because
it
fructifieth
;
and
from
thence
the
Grecians
call
it
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
or
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
to
beare
fruit
;
the
Germans
,
Fruchter
,
which
in
English
is
,
fruitfull
or
pleasant
:
And
therefore
Saint
Ambrose
saith
,
it
is
deriued
from
Euphranein
,
that
is
,
from
rejoycing
;
For
that
ouerflowing
the
Fields
,
it
causeth
them
the
next
yeare
to
flourish
with
all
kinde
of
fruit
and
pleasant
floures
.
The
water
of
this
riuer
is
very
foule
and
dirty
,
so
that
it
is
vnfit
to
drinke
:
according
to
that
of
Ieremy
,
cap.
2.
What
auaileth
it
thee
to
goe
into
Assyria
,
that
thou
mightest
drinke
of
the
water
of
Euphrates
?
If
a
man
takes
this
water
in
a
vessel
,
&
let
it
stand
but
two
houres
,
the
dirt
and
sand
will
lie
at
the
bottom
therof
two
inches
thicke
.
Therefore
the
inhabitants
neere
about
it
,
are
wont
to
take
a
great
pot
that
holdeth
a
good
quantity
,
whereinto
putting
water
,
they
let
it
stand
till
all
the
filth
be
sunke
to
the
bottome
,
and
so
they
cleare
water
to
drinke
.
Nilus
taketh
the
beginning
from
a
certaine
mountain
in
Mauritania
the
lower
,
not
far
from
the
Ocean
,
and
issues
from
a
Lake
which
they
call
Nidiles
,
and
partly
from
other
Lakes
,
and
is
increased
with
the
snow
waters
falling
from
the
mountaines
of
the
Moone
in
Affrica
,
3200
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
South
.
Some
thinke
it
tooke
the
name
from
Nileus
a
certaine
King
therabouts
.
Others
,
from
the
soile
which
it
yerely
brought
downe
in
the
streame
,
whereby
all
Aegypt
is
made
fruitfull
;
from
whence
some
thinke
it
was
called
Seruious
Nilus
,
for
that
it
bringeth
downe
new
mud
with
it
.
The
Hebrewes
call
it
Gihon
,
because
it
breaketh
out
of
the
earth
with
great
violence
.
This
Riuer
comes
through
the
desarts
of
Aethiopia
,
and
so
with
great
violence
comes
into
Aegypt
,
where
it
is
diuided
into
seuen
streames
,
and
in
times
past
had
seuen
gates
,
the
names
of
which
were
,
Canopicus
,
or
Heraclioticus
,
Bolbitinus
,
Sebiniticus
,
Pharmiticus
,
Mendesius
,
Taniticus
,
and
Palusinus
.
The
two
outward
gates
of
which
,
viz.
Canopicus
,
and
Palusiacus
,
were
160
miles
a
sunder
.
Appianus
saith
,
There
are
two
other
gates
called
Tineptimicus
,
and
Diolcus
:
This
ninth
gate
is
diuided
at
a
citie
and
place
called
Delta
,
taking
the
name
from
the
likenesse
that
it
hath
to
the
Greeke
letter
so
called
.
So
that
Nilus
is
diuided
into
nine
gates
,
by
which
nine
gates
it
falls
into
the
Mediterranean
Sea
.
There
are
many
that
thinke
,
that
Paradise
was
only
in
Aegypt
,
and
that
then
it
had
onely
but
foure
streams
,
and
that
at
the
Floud
it
was
confused
into
nine
,
and
they
would
seeme
to
proue
their
opinion
out
of
the
31
chapter
of
Ezekiel
,
where
hee
calleth
Egypt
a
garden
of
pleasure
.
But
this
differeth
from
the
description
of
Moses
,
for
it
is
not
scituate
in
the
East
,
but
rather
the
South
from
Ierusalem
,
and
farre
distant
from
the
two
Easterne
Riuers
,
Euphrates
and
Hiddikel
,
by
which
the
holy
Scriptures
do
principally
denote
Paradise
.
Wherefore
it
may
be
concluded
,
that
Aegypt
was
onely
a
part
of
Paradise
,
not
Paradise
it selfe
:
And
that
this
Riuer
was
one
of
the
Riuers
,
not
all
,
the
streames
of
which
Riuer
at
some
times
of
the
yeare
,
viz.
in
the
Summer
Solstice
,
when
the
Sunne
is
neere
the
Dogge-starre
,
begins
to
swell
and
ouerflow
the
bankes
,
by
reason
of
the
melting
of
the
snow
which
lies
vpon
the
mountaines
of
the
Moone
,
and
so
drowne
all
the
places
neere
vnto
it
,
through
the
land
of
Aegypt
,
leauing
behind
it
certaine
slime
and
mudde
,
by
which
it
comes
to
passe
,
that
the
Countrey
is
very
fruitfull
,
and
serues
them
in
steed
of
raine
,
at
which
time
of
the
yeare
(
for
this
happens
once
euery
yeare
)
the
people
and
inhabitants
of
the
Countrey
retire
themselues
to
their
Towns
,
Cities
,
and
Castles
,
scituated
vpon
Rocks
,
Mountains
,
and
high
grounds
,
from
whence
it
hapneth
,
that
they
sustaine
very
little
discommoditie
or
losse
,
by
any
such
inundation
.
They
also
keepe
little
boates
,
whereby
they
passe
from
one
place
to
another
,
because
all
their
passages
and
foot
paths
are
then
drowned
with
waters
.
There
are
many
pretty
obseruations
which
the
people
of
Aegypt
were
wont
to
take
notice
of
in
the
rising
of
this
water
,
for
they
had
certain
staues
wherby
they
measured
the
deapth
of
it
,
if
it
rose
but
to
twelue
cubits
(
which
is
six
yards
in
height
,
they
then
stood
in
feare
of
great
famine
,
so
also
if
it
was
but
thirteene
,
for
then
the
water
was
not
deepe
enough
to
make
the
ground
fertill
:
but
if
it
rose
to
fourteene
or
fifteene
,
then
they
were
in
great
hope
,
and
did
not
doubt
of
a
fruitfull
yeare
:
and
if
to
sixteene
,
they
then
greatly
rejoyced
at
their
prosperity
,
and
kept
banquets
and
feasts
,
and
were
assured
that
the
succeeding
yeare
would
be
very
plentifull
:
but
if
it
rose
aboue
,
they
laid
a
side
all
signes
of
joy
,
and
liued
very
sparingly
,
and
with
great
sorrow
;
this
great
inundation
of
waters
foreshewing
scarcitie
,
and
want
,
and
famine
,
and
pestilence
,
and
death
.
And
thus
Nilus
yearely
,
euery
yeare
is
to
them
in
stead
of
raine
,
for
Aegypt
is
without
raine
.
In
Autumne
,
at
such
time
as
the
Sunne
going
out
of
the
last
face
of
Libra
,
entreth
into
Scorpio
,
the
waters
of
Nilus
by
little
and
little
retire
themselues
into
their
bankes
,
and
the
earth
becomes
quite
vncouered
of
water
:
about
which
time
,
the
Country
being
exceeding
hot
,
the
earth
is
presently
made
drie
in
all
those
places
,
so
that
in
the
moneth
of
October
,
they
may
both
till
and
sow
their
Land
.
In
this
riuer
the
Crocodile
and
the
Ichneumo
breed
,
of
the
nature
of
which
two
,
you
may
sufficiently
reade
in
Gesner
.
There
also
breeds
the
Pellican
,
of
which
Saint
Ierom
saith
,
there
are
two
kinds
,
one
that
liues
vpon
the
water
,
an
other
that
liues
vpon
the
land
:
these
birds
as
some
affirme
;
kill
their
young
ones
vpon
their
beake
,
and
then
leaue
them
lying
in
their
neast
for
three
daies
;
at
the
end
of
which
time
,
the
female
grieuously
wounds
her selfe
vpon
the
breast
,
and
pouring
her
bloud
vpon
her
young
ones
,
reuiues
them
againe
.
This
bird
may
very
well
be
a
type
and
figure
of
our
blessed
Sauiour
,
who
shedding
his
pretious
bloud
vpon
the
crosse
for
our
sinnes
,
after
the
third
day
rose
againe
,
and
that
he
might
restore
vs
to
life
that
be
dead
in
sinne
,
poureth
out
his
bloud
vpon
vs
,
whereby
we
are
made
capable
of
eternall
life
.

the
Townes-men

at
this
day
shew
the
place
where
Cain
slew
his

Abel
,
and
it
is
well
to
be
beleeued
that
this
Citie
receiues
her
name
thereby
,
for
Damascus
signifies
bloud-shedding

a

drunke

6
From

,
which
is
124
miles
and
there
ouerthrew
the
foure
Kings
which
had
taken
Lot
prisoner
,
Gen.
14.
8
Then
he
pursued
the
enemie
for
the
space
of
80
miles
to
Hobam
in
Phoenicia
,
which
lyeth
in
the
left
side
of
Damasco
,
Gen.
14.
9
From
Phoenicia
,
hee
went
to
Sodom
,
wnere
Melchisedech
met
him
,
which
are
160
miles
,
Gen.
14.
10
From
Sodom
,
he
went
backe
again
to
the
plaine
of
Mamre
,
which
are
40
miles
.
11
From
the
Plaine
of
Mamre
,
he
went
to
Gerer
,
which
is

22.
14
From

,
hee
returned
againe

.
15
From

,
he
and
his
wife
went
to
the
plaine

Mamre
by
Hebron
,
which
is
16
miles
,
and
there
they
died
and
were
buried
,
Gen.
23.
and
25.
So
that
all
the
Trauels
of
the
Patriarch
Abraham
,
were
1794
miles
.
Now
followeth
the
description
of
the
Townes
and
places
.
THe
Towne
of
Vhr
in
Chaldaea
,
where
Abraham
was
borne
at
this
day
is
called
Orchae
,
(
as
Petrus
Appianus
writeth
)
and
is
distant
from
Ierusalem
624
miles
Eastward
.
It
seemeth
,
it
either
tooke
that
name
from
light
or
fire
,
or
else
from
diuine
worship
,
for
there
they
vsed
to
offer
many
burnt
offerings
,
but
at
that
time
they
committed
idolatry
,
for
which
cause
Abraham
went
from
thence
,
perceiuing
that
the
Chaldeans
tooke
the
fire
for
their
god
,
because
fire
came
downe
from
Heauen
and
consumed
their
offerings
.
Learned
men
therefore
are
of
opinion
,
that
the
Chaldaeans
in
the
town
of
Vhr
,
worshipped
the
fire
for
their
god
.
Haran
or
Charan
,
that
is
,
Wrath.
HAran
is
the
chiefe
city
in
Mesopotamia
,
where
Abraham
for
a
time
dwelt
with
his
father
Thara
.
There
the
rich
Roman
Crassus
with
his
army
was
ouerthrowne
by
the
Parthians
,
and
is
distant
from
Ierusalem
440
miles
North-Eastward
,
taking
its
name
from
the
water
Charan
which
runneth
through
it
.
But
at
this
day
the
city
is
called
Ophra
,
lying
eleuen
daies
journy
from
Mossel
or
Nineueh
,
as
D.
Leonard
Ronwolfe
writeth
,
who
in
Anno
1575
,
vpon
the
thirtieth
of
Ianuary
was
in
that
towne
.
Ophra
or
Haran
is
a
faire
city
well
inhabited
,
and
indifferent
great
,
compassed
about
with
walls
and
towers
,
richly
furnished
with
merchandise
,
but
especially
with
faire
couerlets
of
diuers
colors
,
that
are
made
therein
.
There
is
likewise
great
trade
and
trafique
for
diuers
kindes
of
wares
brought
thither
by
Caravans
,
which
are
great
numbers
of
camels
,
horses
,
&
other
beasts
,
that
cary
great
burdens
,
with
many
men
to
conduct
them
,
which
traffique
and
trauell
from
one
city
to
another
.
This
city
in
times
past
belonged
to
the
Parthians
,
euen
then
when
Crassus
the
rich
Roman
,
fifty
three
years
before
the
birth
of
Christ
,
robbed
the
temple
of
Ierusalem
,
and
of
those
holy
relicks
bare
away
to
the
value
of
six
tuns
of
gold
.
For
which
God
punished
him
openly
;
for
vpon
the
sixt
of
Iune
after
,
hee
was
by
the
Parthians
ouerthrown
hard
by
Haran
in
Mesopotamia
,
and
there
taken
and
slaine
.
The
Parthians
pouring
molten
gold
into
his
mouth
,
said
,
Drinke
now
thy
fill
(
thou
greedy
Wretch
)
of
that
which
thou
so
long
hast
thirsted
after
,
for
with
this
thou
mayst
fill
thy
greedy
throat
.
In
this
ouerthrow
were
slaine
thirty
thousand
Romans
,
and
by
that
meanes
the
city
of
Haran
returned
againe
vnder
the
Parthians
.
After
that
,
the
Persians
took
it
;
but
now
it
is
vnder
the
Turk
.
In
this
city
of
Haran
at
this
day
there
is
to
be
seene
a
Well
of
very
cleare
water
,
at
which
Rebecca
gaue
drinke
to
Eleazer
Abrahams
seruant
,
and
to
his
Camels
,
Genes.
24.19
.
This
Well
by
the
townsmen
is
called
Abrahams
wel
:
there
also
Rachel
,
Labans
daughter
,
first
spake
with
the
holy
Patriark
Iacob
,
who
turning
the
stone
off
from
the
Wel
,
gaue
her
sheep
of
the
water
to
drinke
.
This
water
hath
a
very
pleasant
taste
,
and
is
a
notable
Type
of
holy
Baptisme
;
for
like
as
the
holy
Fathers
tooke
their
wiues
by
this
wel
,
so
Christ
receiueth
his
holy
congregation
by
the
Well
of
Baptisme
,
in
his
Word
and
holy
Sacrament
.
This
is
the
right
Wel
of
Israel
,
which
floweth
into
euerlasting
life
.
The
city
of
Haran
(
now
called
Ophra
)
lieth
from
Nineueh
232
miles
Westward
.
Sichem
,
a
Shoulder
.
SIchem
is
a
town
in
Samaria
on
the
borders
of
Ephraim
,
lying
on
mount
Garizim
,
36
miles
from
Ierusalem
Northward
.
It
takes
the
name
(
as
Phil.
Melancthon
writeth
)
from
the
place
wheron
it
standeth
,
like
a
shoulder
;
for
Sichem
signifies
a
shoulder
.
Of
this
town
I
will
speak
more
at
large
in
the
new
Testament
,
for
that
by
it
Christ
spake
with
the
Samaritan
woman
,
Ioh.
4.
In
this
town
Dina
Iacobs
daughter
was
rauished
,
Gen.
34.
and
there
the
bones
of
the
Patriarch
Ioseph
were
buried
,
Ios.
24.
Abimelech
for
spight
&
vpon
no
occasion
vtterly
destroied
the
town
,
and
hauing
razed
it
to
the
ground
,
sowed
it
with
salt
,
Iudg.
9
But
Ieroboam
King
of
Ierusalem
built
it
vp
again
and
dwelt
therin
,
1
Kin.
12.
It
was
a
free
town
,
whither
a
man-slayer
might
resort
that
had
killed
any
man
by
chance
,
and
saue
himselfe
,
Ios.
20.
Mount
Garizim
,
wheron
the
town
of
Sichem
stood
,
was
a
piece
of
mount
Ephraim
.
Tanis
,
in
Hebrew
Zoan
;
an
Inne
or
house
of
Harbor
.
TAnis
or
Zoan
was
the
chiefe
city
in
Egypt
,
where
Pharaoh
in
Abrahams
time
kept
his
court
,
as
we
reade
in
the
thirteenth
Chapter
and
fourth
book
of
Moses
,
and
Psal.
58.
and
lyeth
232
,
miles
from
Ierusalem
Southeastward
:
four
miles
from
Tanis
stood
the
kingly
towne
of
Memphis
,
which
was
likewise
built
before
Abrahams
time
;
but
at
that
time
it
was
not
so
famous
as
Tanis
,
for
there
is
not
one
word
spoken
of
Memphis
in
the
books
of
Moses
.
But
when
time
serues
I
will
speake
more
of
these
two
places
.
Of
the
Mount
between
Bethel
and
Hay
.
THis
hil
is
4
miles
from
Ierusalem
vpon
the
North
,
lying
between
the
2
towns
of
Bethel
&
Hay
,
and
is
called
mount
Ephraim
;
wher
Abraham
at
his
return
out
of
Egipt
the
second
time
set
vp
his
Tabernacle
,
of
purpose
to
be
conuersant
with
Melchisedeck
who
dwelt
in
Ierusalem
;
and
with
him
gaue
thanks
to
God
for
the
singular
fauors
that
he
had
shewed
toward
him
,
in
deliuering
his
wife
Sara
from
the
hands
of
Abimelech
King
of
Egypt
,
who
would
haue
rauished
her
,
&
as
he
feared
,
indangered
his
life
.
In
this
place
Lot
separated
himselfe
from
Abraham
,
and
went
to
dwell
in
Sodom
.
Of
the
Plaine
or
Oke
of
Mamre
.
THe
Plain
of
Mamre
stood
a
mile
from
Hebron
towards
the
East
,
and
distant
from
Ierusalem
22
miles
South-eastward
.
In
this
yally
there
was
a
faire
and
pleasant
wood
,
where
a
certain
yong
man
called
Mamre
dwelt
.
This
man
was
brother
to
Escal
and
Aner
,
mentioned
by
Moses
,
Genes.
14.
who
according
to
the
custome
of
gentlemen
with
vs
in
these
times
,
built
vp
his
house
neere
to
a
pleasant
Wood
or
bottome
,
which
as
some
thinke
was
called
after
his
name
Mamre
.
Others
,
(
of
which
opinion
is
Ierom
)
of
Aelon
,
which
signifies
a
valley
or
tree
(
an
Oke
tree
,
saith
hee
.
)
But
Ioseph
&
Aegesippus
call
it
a
Terebinth
tree
,
which
both
summer
and
winter
beareth
greene
leaues
like
a
Palme
tree
,
the
sap
or
juice
whereof
is
very
good
for
medicine
.
Abraham
dwelling
neere
to
this
tree
,
beeing
entertained
by
the
three
Brothers
as
a
stranger
,
grew
into
such
fauour
and
familiaritie
with
them
,
that
hee
conuerted
them
from
Paganisme
,
and
taught
them
to
know
the
true
and
euer-liuing
God
.
To
gratifie
which
great
fauor
,
they
aided
him
in
his
Warre
against
the
foure
Kings
that
had
taken
Lot
prisoner
,
and
gaue
him
free
libertie
to
inhabit
in
,
and
vse
the
Plain
thereabouts
for
his
cattel
:
before
whose
dore
(
as
some
Authors
affirm
)
this
Terebinth
or
oke
tree
stood
,
and
so
continued
from
the
beginning
of
the
world
,
till
the
time
of
Constantine
the
Great
,
it
being
lawfull
for
none
to
cut
a
bough
of
it
,
or
touch
it
with
a
hatchet
,
because
it
was
in
those
daies
accounted
a
holy
tree
,
and
visited
by
diuers
strangers
:
and
then
Helena
caused
a
fair
church
to
be
built
in
that
place
;
and
so
much
the
rather
,
for
that
Abraham
sitting
vnder
that
tree
,
the
three
Angels
appeared
vnto
him
in
the
similitude
or
likenesse
of
men
,
Gen.
8.1
,
2.
And
some
are
of
opinion
,
That
because
of
this
,
the
Iewes
offered
Incense
to
their
gods
,
and
committed
idolatry
vpon
high
mountaines
and
vnder
green
trees
,
Ezek.
16.
There
was
also
a
double
Caue
made
of
white
marble
,
which
as
Iosephus
saith
,
was
very
faire
and
beautifull
to
the
eye
,
and
curiously
wrought
and
polished
;
wherein
Abraham
,
Isaac
,
and
Iacob
,
with
their
Wiues
Sarah
,
Rebecca
,
and
Leah
were
buried
:
and
as
some
thinke
was
that
caue
which
he
purchased
of
the
Hittites
,
Gen.
23.34
.
But
that
Adam
and
Evah
lie
buried
in
the
same
place
,
seeing
there
is
no
warrant
for
it
in
the
holy
Scriptures
,
I
let
it
passe
;
because
whatsoeuer
hath
not
authoritie
of
Scripture
to
proue
it
,
may
as
easily
be
contemned
as
allowed
.
But
Abrahams
sepulchre
in
Ieroms
time
was
to
be
seen
,
being
old
and
decayed
.
Of
Hebron
.
THis
City
was
not
onely
a
Kings
Seat
,
but
a
Priests
also
,
being
built
not
long
after
the
Floud
,
and
some
seuen
years
before
that
City
of
the
Egyptians
called
Zoan
or
Tanis
,
Numb.
13.
and
was
placed
vpon
a
goodly
high
mountaine
very
pleasant
and
delectable
.
It
taketh
the
name
from
Chabar
,
which
signifieth
to
accompany
;
and
from
thence
,
Chebron
,
or
Hebron
,
A
pleasant
and
delectable
society
.
It
was
a
metropolitan
city
in
the
tribe
of
Iuda
,
and
after
called
Kiriatharba
,
as
it
appeareth
in
Ioshuah
,
14.
taking
that
name
from
Arba
the
chiefe
Gouernour
of
that
Citie
.
This
man
was
one
of
the
Anakims
,
and
a
very
mighty
Prince
.
Others
there
are
that
say
,
the
city
being
diuided
into
foure
parts
was
thereof
called
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
:
for
Arba
signifies
a
quaternion
,
from
the
Rote
Raba
foure
square
.
It
was
first
built
by
Heth
,
the
sonne
of
that
cursed
Canaan
,
whose
posterity
(
the
Hittites
)
inhabited
in
it
;
and
such
was
their
hospitalitie
,
that
they
entertained
Abraham
,
being
a
stranger
and
traueller
.
These
people
dwelt
[
*
](A17140-e32270-b)
*
Here
also
dwelt
Sisai
,
Abiman
,
and
Thalmas
the
sons
of
Anak
.
there
vntill
Ioshuahs
time
;
and
then
one
Hoham
was
King
thereof
,
who
with
other
Kings
opposing
the
Children
of
Israell
,
was
by
them
slain
,
and
had
their
country
wasted
and
destroyed
.
This
town
was
after
made
a
towne
of
refuge
,
and
belonged
to
the
inheritance
of
Caleb
,
and
was
together
with
Mamre
in
the
tribe
of
Iuda
,
Ios.
20.
Heere
Dauid
was
first
anointed
King
,
and
reigned
therein
for
the
space
of
7
yeares
,
2
Sam.
5.
But
this
town
by
the
iniury
of
time
and
oppression
of
the
enemy
is
now
become
desolate
,
only
some
few
old
reliques
are
to
be
seen
,
to
shew
there
had
bin
a
town
there
.
Neuerthelesse
there
is
a
town
not
far
from
it
which
retaineth
the
name
,
placed
in
a
very
fruitfull
valley
called
Mamre
to
this
day
.
Heere
while
it
was
vnder
the
jurisdiction
of
the
Christians
,
stood
a
Cathedral
church
,
and
a
Bishops
See
;
but
the
Turks
haue
turned
it
into
a
Mosko
,
or
one
of
their
churches
.
Into
this
place
they
wil
not
suffer
any
Christian
to
enter
.
The
inhabitants
take
vpon
them
to
shew
vnto
strangers
many
things
,
as
the
vault
or
caue
wherein
Abraham
was
buried
,
the
place
where
Cain
killed
Abel
,
the
Well
where
Adam
and
Eva
wept
seuen
years
for
the
death
of
their
son
;
with
many
such
like
fables
which
are
to
no
purpose
,
seeing
they
are
not
warrantable
by
Scripture
.
Some
bows
shoot
Eastward
from
this
place
is
the
field
of
Damascus
,
where
the
red
earth
lieth
whereof
they
feigne
man
to
be
made
.
It
is
naturally
tough
,
&
may
be
wrought
like
wax
or
pitch
.
There
is
also
that
is
white
of
the
same

It

the

signifies
a
Pilgrim

Traueller

did
well
agree
with
the
condition

and
is
a
Type
and
figure
of
God
the
Father
;
for
as
that
Abraham
was
the
father
of
many
,
yet
had
but
only
one
son
;
so
although
God
be
the
father
of
all
nations
,
yet
had
but
one
only
son
,
Iesus
Christ
,
begotten
of
his
owne
essence
from
before
the
beginning
of
the
world
.
And
as
Abraham
so
loued
God
,
that
for
his
sake
he
would
not
haue
spared
his
only
son
;
so
God
so
loued
Abraham
and
the
World
,
that
hee
gaue
his
only
begotten
son
to
die
for
the
saluation
of
their
soules

The
Trauels
of
Lot
.
LOt
trauelled
with
Abraham
from
Vr
in
Chaldaea
,
to
Haran
in
Mesopotamia
,
which
is
336
miles
,
Gen.
12.
2
From
Haran
they
trauelled
to
Sichem
in
the
land
of
Canaan
,
being
400
miles
.
3
From
Sichem
they
trauelled
through
Morae
,
to
the
hil
lying
between
Bethel
and
Hay
,
which
is
24
miles
.
4
From
the
hill
between
Bethel
and
Hay
,
they
went
into
Egypt
,
which
is
240
miles
,
Gen.
13.
5
From
Egypt
they
went
into
the
land
of
Canaan
,
to
the
hil
lying
between
Bethel
and
Hay
,
where
Abraham
had
dwelt
before
,
which
is
240
miles
,
Gen.
13.
6
From
the
hil
between
Bethel
and
Hay
Lot
separated
himselfe
from
Abraham
,
and
went
to
the
towne
of
Sodom
Eastward
,
which
is
28
miles
,
Gen.
13.
7
In
the
town
of
Sodom
Lot
was
taken
prisoner
,
hee
and
all
his
houshold
,
and
led
away
to
the
town
of
Dan
,
which
is
32
miles
Gen.
14.
8
And
when
Abraham
had
deliuered
him
out
of
the
hands
of
his
enemies
,
&
pursued
them
,
he
returned
with
him
from
Dan
to
Hobam
in
Phoenicia
,
lying
on
the
left
side
of
Damascus
,
being
80
miles
.
9
From
Phoenicia
Abraham
came
again
with
Lot
to
Sodom
,
which
is
160
miles
.
10
Lastly
,
when
the
Lord
had
determined
to
raine
fire
and
brimstone
on
Sodom
,
Lot
according
to
his
commandement
went
thence
to
Zoar
a
little
town
neere
adioyning
,
where
being
drunk
with
Wine
hee
committed
incest
with
both
his
daughters
;
but
after
comming
to
the
knowledge
of
his
offence
,
he
was
so
sore
afflicted
in
his
conscience
,
that
with
extreme
grief
he
died
.
Luther
saith
that
Abraham
tooke
him
to
Hebron
with
him
to
comfort
him
,
and
that
there
he
died
.
Hebron
is
36
miles
from
Sodom
.
So
all
the
trauels
of
the
Patriarch
Lot
were
1652
miles
.
The
Description
of
the
Townes
and
places
where
he
trauelled
.
And
first
of
Sodom
.
THe
cities
that
were
destroyed
with
fire
and
brimstone
from
heauen
were
foure
in
number
,
that
is
,
Sodom
,
Gomorah
,
Adama
,
and
Zeboim
,
lying
24
miles
from
Ierusalem
South-eastward
,
where
now
the
dead
sea
runs
.
The
fift
was
the
city
Bela
,
called
also
Zoar
,
which
was
spared
for
Lots
sake
,
&
distant
from
Sodom
two
miles
.
This
,
Lot
accounted
but
a
little
City
;
but
there
are
that
say
it
was
a
very
spatious
and
princely
place
,
neere
to
which
his
wife
for
her
disobedience
was
turned
into
a
pillar
of
salt
,
and
not
far
off
he
committed
incest
with
his
two
daughters
.
And
although
Luther
be
of
opinion
,
that
that
also
within
a
while
after
was
burnt
,
yet
this
cannot
bee
certainly
prooued
,
especially
because
it
remaineth
euen
to
this
day
,
scituated
both
in
the
antient
place
,
and
called
by
the
antient
name
;
vnlesse
some
new
City
hath
beene
lately
built
in
the
same
place
,
and
is
now
called
after
that
name
,
which
I
cannot
thinke
to
be
true
.
Sodamah
signifieth
a
Mysterie
;
Gomorah
,
a
Faggot
of
Thornes
;
Adamah
,
Red
earth
;
Zeboim
,
Fertile
and
Pleasant
;
Zoar
,
The
burning
of
Baela
;
for
in
antient
times
it
was
called
Baela
.
It
is
the
receiued
opinion
,
that
the
country
wherein
these
fiue
rich
and
opulent
cities
stood
was
called
Pentapolis
.
Of
the
Lake
or
dead
Sea
,
called
Asphaltides
.
IN
the
very
same
place
where
these
Cities
were
burnt
and
destroyed
,
there
is
at
this
day
to
be
seene
a
Lake
about
36
miles
long
,
and
in
some
places
six
,
in
others
eight
and
12
miles
ouer
.
It
boileth
with
pitch
and
brimstone
,
and
in
some
places
passeth
by
the
name
of
the
salt
sea
,
and
in
others
,
the
dead
sea
,
because
of
the
noisome
and
venomous
aire
that
riseth
out
of
it
,
insomuch
as
the
very
birds
that
fly
ouer
it
fall
down
dead
,
and
if
a
beast
doe
but
drink
of
it
mixt
with
water
,
it
makes
him
incurably
sick
.
It
is
of
a
wonderfull
nature
,
for
whatsoeuer
heauy
thing
you
fling
into
it
will
not
sinke
,
but
swim
vpon
the
top
,
be
it
either
iron
,
lead
,
copper
,
or
any
other
weighty
matter
.
Of
which
Vespasian
the
emperor
hauing
notice
,
to
make
experience
of
what
he
had
heard
,
made
a
journy
of
purpose
to
see
it
,
and
with
him
tooke
certain
condemned
men
who
for
their
offences
had
deserued
death
;
these
he
manacled
,
and
where
he
thought
it
to
be
deepest
caused
them
to
bee
thrown
in
;
but
they
rose
vp
againe
with
such
violence
as
if
some
storm
or
tempest
had
sent
them
vp
.
The
water
thereof
changeth
three
times
a
day
,
and
shineth
against
the
sun
with
diuers
colors
,
casting
out
fire
and
great
cakes
of
pitch
much
resembling
Bulls
without
heads
,
and
of
that
quantity
.
This
pitch
is
good
for
diuers
things
,
as
to
calk
ships
,
to
lay
vpon
cables
,
and
to
vse
in
medicins
;
wherefore
such
as
come
to
this
sea
and
know
the
nature
of
it
,
haue
certain
Skifs
and
instruments
wherewith
they
draw
these
cakes
of
pitch
to
their
ships
,
to
which
it
cleaueth
so
fast
,
it
being
naturally
tough
,
that
being
brought
to
land
they
cannot
get
it
off
again
but
by
the
help
of
vrine
.
Vpon
the
banks
thereof
grow
trees
that
beare
fruit
of
diuers
kinds
,
as
apples
and
such
like
;
which
are
faire
and
pleasant
to
the
eie
,
but
if
you
either
touch
or
open
them
you
shall
finde
nothing
but
dust
.
Brittenbacchus
saith
,
In
this
place
the
Serpent
Tyrus
(
whereof
they
vse
to
make
treacle
)
is
found
.
It
is
a
little
serpent
about
half
a
cubit
long
,
and
a
finger
thick
,
being
of
diuers
colours
,
and
is
so
venomous
,
that
where
it
biteth
there
is
no
remedy
,
vnlesse
by
cutting
off
the
member
.
The
head
of
it
is
rough
and
hairy
,
and
there
seemeth
to
lie
vpon
the
tongue
of
it
,
if
it
be
angry
,
a
fiery
flame
.
The
same
Author
saith
,
That
a
little
from
Zoar
,
betweene
this
Lake
and
the
mountaines
of
Engedi
,
the
pillar
whereinto
Lots
wife
was
turned
,
is
yet
to
be
seen
shining
like
salt
.
The
furthest
part
of

lies
14

The
trauell
of
the
two
Angels
that
led
Lot
out
of
Sodom
.
THese
two
Angels
hauing
spoken
with
Abraham
in
the
valley
of
Mamre
neere
Hebron
,
forthwith
went
to
Sodom
some
40
miles
distant
from
that
place
,
where
Lot
hauing
entertained
them
into
his
house
,
by
their
helpe
was
deliuered
,
together
with
his
wife
and
two
daughters
,
from
that
miserable
desolation
of
the
Sodomits
.
Of
Lots
two
Daughters
.
LOt
escaping
this
desolation
,
and
seeing
a
president
of
Gods
iudgement
fallen
vpon
his
wife
for
her
disobedience
,
fearing
that
he
should
not
continue
safe
in
Zoar
,
left
that
&
turned
aside
into
the
wildernesse
,
and
continued
there
among
the
mountains
,
although
the
Lord
had
promised
him
safety
in
this
town
:
wherfore
continuing
in
a
Caue
in
the
Wildernesse
,
the
eldest
of
his
daughters
losing
her
husband
in
this
destruction
,
supposing
that
all
men
had
beene
destroyed
from
off
the
earth
,
counselled
her
sister
to
commit
incest
with
her
father
.
Lot
being
now
oppressed
with
care
,
by
reason
of
the
former
calamities
,
gaue
himself
at
the
inticement
of
his
daughters
,
to
drinke
Wine
,
insomuch
as
with
the
excesse
he
became
drunke
:
at
which
time
not
being
himselfe
he
begat
by
his
two
daughters
two
sonnes
:
the
eldest
had
a
sonne
whom
shee
called
Moab
,
which
signifies
The
begotten
of
his
Father
;
whereby
the
impudencie
of
this
woman
is
laid
open
to
the
World
,
in
that
she
was
not
ashamed
of
her
sinne
.
Of
him
came
the
Moabites
,
and
dwelt
vpon
the
North
side
of
the
lake
Asphaltides
,
some
32
miles
from
Ierusalem
.
The
yongest
daughter
had
a
son
,
which
she
called
Ben-ammy
,
that
is
,
The
son
of
my
people
;
for
although
she
bare
him
with
great
shame
,
yet
she
dwelt
among
the
people
of
God
.
Of
him
came
the
Ammonites
that
dwelt
beyond
mount
Gilead
,
threescore
miles
from
Ierusalem
Northeastward
.
Of
the
foure
Kings
that
tooke
LOT
prisoner
.
THe
first
of
them
was
called
Amraphel
King
of
Shinear
or
Babylon
,
the
son
of
Ninus
and
Semiramis
,
as
some
thinke
,
and
is
called
somtime
by
the
name
of
Berosus
,
sometime
Ninus
.
He
kept
his
court
at
Babylon
in
Chaldea
,
which
is
680
miles
from
Ierusalem
Eastward
.
This
Ninus
is
called
Amraphel
,
because
of
the
notable
victories
that
he
won
,
and
the
number
of
countries
and
prouinces
he
conquered
.
The
second
was
Arioch
or
Arius
his
sonne
.
He
was
thus
called
because
of
his
courage
and
crueltie
in
war
;
for
Arioch
signifies
A
mighty
roaring
Lion
;
Arius
,
Mars
.
This
man
during
the
life
of
his
father
was
created
king
of
Lassir
,
that
is
,
Assiria
,
for
so
it
is
called
in
the
Chaldaean
tongue
;
the
chiefe
city
whereof
is
Nineueh
,
and
lies
from
Ierusalem
Northeastward
six
hundred
eighty
foure
miles
.
The
third
was
Keder-laomer
King
of
the
Elamites
in
Persia
,
1200
miles
from
Ierusalem
toward
the
East
.
This
Prince
had
a
great
command
in
that
country
.
Keder
signifies
an
Ornament
or
Crowne

Laomer
,
Well
deseruing
.
The
fourth
was
Thideall
King
of
the
Nations
.
Hee
kept
his
court
in
Damascus
,
the
Metropolis
of
Assyria
,
some

Ierusalem
Northward
.
Thideal
signifieth
An

Lord
;
of
Alah
,
that

,
To

.
These
foure
kings
were
confederats
,
and
bent
their
expedition
principally
against
Astaroth
and
Kiriathaim
,
which
they
tooke
,
and
spoyled
all
the
Countrey
round
about
with
fire
and
sword
:
and
their
Armies
being
retyred
from
the
spoyle
,
met
in
the
vally
of
Siddim
(
where
now
the
dead
Sea
runneth
)
and
there
pitched
their
tents
.
In
this
place
after
a
cruel
and
sharp
war
,
they
conquered
the
fiue
Kings
of
that
beautifull
and
pleasant
soile
of
Pentapolis
,
(
for
so
it
was
called
because
of
those
fiue
cities
that
were
in
it
)
where
among
others
they
tooke
Lot
captiue
with
all
his
substance
.
Of
Astoroth
.
AStoroth
seemes
to
be
the
city
of
Venus
,
because
the
citisens
thereof
worshipped
her
:
for
Astoroth
is
a
goddesse
of
the
Sidonians
,
and
is
compounded
of
Ash
,
which
signifies
a
company
of
stars

Ashtoroth
.
This

lay
in
the

,
and
belonged
to
the
halfe
tribe
of
Manasse
beyond
Iordan
,
56
miles
from
Ierusalem
North-Eastward
.
In
this
city
the
foure
Kings
of
the
East
conquered
the
gyants
of
Karnaim
,
that
were
mighty
princes
and
commanders
there
,
when
they
made
war
against
that
and
Kiriathaim
.
Not
far
from
hence
also
in
the
land
of
Ham
there
dwelt
certaine
Gyants
called
Zusim
,
of
Zus
and
Hamah
,
which
signifies
to
stir
vp
commotion
.
These
were
very
great
strong
and
stately
people
,
and
had
the
command
of
all
the
Countries
thereabouts
,
which
they
held
in
great
feare
,
and
were
conquered
by
the
foure
Kings
.
Of
Kiriathaim
.
KIriathaim
was
a
City
in
the
tribe
of
Reubin
beyond
Iorden
,
Ios.
13.
22
miles
from
Ierusalem
toward
the
East
,
and
so
called
because
it
was
diuided
into
many
parts
and
diuisions
.
The
heathens
corruptly
cal
it
Carthage
.
The
Hebrews
deriue
it
from
Kiriath
,
which
signifies
a
city
,
and
Emah
,
Terror
.
Here
dwelt
the
Emims
,
a
graue
and
fearfull
people
;
for
so
their
name
signifies
.
Of
Hazezon
Thamar
.
THis
Citie
tooke
the
name
from
a
Palme
tree
,
or
a
Palme
banke
.
Of
this
kinde
of
wood
the
Israelites
made
their
arrowes
,
and
therefore
deriue
it
from
Charar
,
which
signifieth
to
shoot
;
and
Thamar
,
a
Palme
Tree
.
This
City
standeth
vpon
the
banke
of
the
dead
sea
,
twenty
miles
from
Ierusalem
North-East
,
vpon
a
very
fruitfull
soile
,
where
was
found
plenty
of
Palm
trees
and
pretious
balsam
:
and
by
some
called
Engedi
,
or
the
Lambes
Well
;
being
deriued
from
Ein
and
Gedi
,
which
signifieth
Fontem
haeduli
lactantis
,
that
is
,
The
Wel
of
a
sucking
lambe
or
goat
.
Not
far
from
hence
stood
the
Caue
where
Dauid
cut
off
the
outward
lap
of
King
Sauls
garment
,
1
Sam.
24.
Of
the
plentifull
valley
Siddim
.
THis
valley
stood
there
where
now
the
dead
sea
runneth
,
and
took
that
name
from
the
fertilitie
of
the
soile
,
and
seems
to
haue
some
affinity
with
the
Hebrew
word
Sadel
,
which
signifies
a
field
,
partly
arable
,
partly
pasture
and
medow
,
furnished
with
trees
,
herbs
,
and
orchards
.
In
this
place
stood
diuers
Wels
of
Bitume
,
from
whence
the
inhabitants
fetcht
caement
to
build
their
houses
with
;
but
after
for
their
wickednes
(
which
was
so
great
,
as
it
appeareth
in
Gen.
18.
that
the
cry
thereof
ascended
into
heauen
)
the
Lord
did
grieuously
punish
them
,
first
with
war
,
by
which
the
inhabitants
were
destroied
:
and
after
that
,
with
fire
and
brimstone
from
heauen
;
so
that
(
as
is
aforesaid
)
this
goodly
vally
is
nothing
but
a
stinking
lake
.
The
Trauels
of
the
Egyptian
maid
Hagar
.
AFter
Sara
had
preferred
Hagar
to
that
high
grace
as
to
make
her
equal
with
her selfe
,
shee
growing
proud
thereof
,
contemned
her
Mistresse
,
and
in
recompence
of
that
fauour
carried
her selfe
very
presumptuously
towards
her
;
which
Sarah
seeking
to
restraine
,
offered
to
her
sonne
hard
measure
;
which
Abraham
(
vpon
her
complaint
)
winked
at
:
Whereupon
Hagar
,
partly
opprest
with
griefe
,
partly
with
enuy
,
priuily
stole
away
from
her
mistresse
,
and
went
from
the
valley
of
Mamre
neer
Hebron
,
to
the
Well
of
life
sixteene
miles
Southward
,
Genesis
16.
and
it
is
to
be
thought
that
her
journey
tended
towards
Egypt
,
which
was
her
natiue
countrey
.
For
this
Well
lay
directly
in
the
way
as
they
went
downe
into
Egypt
.
This
flight
of
Hagar
without
doubt
did
greatly
trouble
Abrahams
house
,
and
put
him
and
his
wife
into
a
great
sorrow
and
feare
,
lest
she
should
destroy
her self
and
the
infant
,
or
fall
into
some
other
danger
.
Wherefore
that
God
might
make
euident
the
exceeding
care
he
had
of
them
,
he
sent
an
angel
vnto
Hagar
,
and
willed
her
to
returne
vnto
her
master
:
which
Angel
some
think
was
the
son
of
God
,
for
he
was
called
by
the
name
of
Iehovah
,
Gen.
16.
which
name
was
not
communicated
to
any
created
Angell
.
Whereupon
Hagar
,
according
to
his
commadement
,
went
backe
againe
to
her
mistresse
Sarah
into
the
valley
of
Mamre
,
16
miles
,
Gen.
16.
From
Hebron
Hagar
went
with
her
mistresse
to
that
kingly
city
Gerar
,
6
miles
,
Gen.
20.
At
Gerar
she
and
her
sonne
Ismael
were
put
out
of
her
masters
house
,
and
going
in
the
way
that
leadeth
into
Egypt
,
they
lost
themselues
in
the
wildernes
of
Beersaba
,
after
they
had
trauelled
12
miles
from
Gerar
:
where
opprest
with
want
both
of
water
and
other
necessaries
,
she
feinted
and
her
son
also
;
wherefore
she
layd
him
vnder
a
tree
,
and
about
a
bowes
shoot
off
sate
down
and
wept
,
expecting
nothing
but
death
.
As
shee
was
in
this
miserie
,
God
heard
the
voice
of
the
childe
,
and
sent
an
Angell
vnto
her
saying
,
Feare
not
,
for
I
will
make
of
thy
childe
a
great
Nation
.
And
God
opened
her
eies
,
and
lo
,
close
by
her
there
was
a
Well
,
so
she
went
and
filled
her
bottle
,
and
gaue
her
boy
drinke
.
At
this
time
Ismael
was
15
yeres
of
age
;
So
God
blessed
the
child
,
and
he
became
an
Archer
,
and
liued
in
the
wildernesse
.
From
thence
she
and
her
son
went
into
the
wildernes
of
Pharan
,
80
miles
,
where
Ismael
maried
an
Egyptian
,
Gen.
21.
So
all
the
trauels
of
Hagar
the
Egyptian
maid
were
132
miles
.
Of
the
Fountaine
of
Hagar
,
which
is
also
called
the
Well
of
Life
.
THis
Wel
lieth
betweene
Bared
and
Kades-Bernea
,
10
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
South
.
Some
call
it
the
Well
of
the
Liuing
and
Seeing
,
because
God
did
there
look
mercifully
vpon
Hagar
when
shee
fled
from
her
mistresse
.
Here
Isaac
dwelt
and
had
his
two
sonnes
Esau
and
Iacob
,
Genesis
26.
Afterwards
it
was
called
the
Well
of
the
liuing
God
,
and
seemeth
mystically
to
represent
Baptisme
,
the
lavor
of
grace
and
regeneration
by
the
operation
and
special
working
of
the
Spirit
:
for
the
Church
(
like
Hagar
with
her
son
Ismael
)
trauelling
through
the
wildernesse
of
this
world
,
is
prest
with
a
multitude
of
sins
;
and
seeing
her
owne
miserie
,
finds
no
remedie
but
by
faith
in
Christ
Iesus
,
to
be
deliuered
from
so
heauy
a
burthen
:
wherefore
they
ioyning
together
in
praier
,
craue
the
mercifull
audience
and
gratious
assistance
of
God
,
That
it
would
please
him
of
his
goodnesse
to
refresh
them
with
the
water
of
life
,
the
doctrine
of
grace
,
that
so
they
may
bee
made
capable
of
eternal
glory
.
For
Hagar
signifies
a
Pilgrim
,
and
Ismael
,
a
godly
and
good
man
whom
the
Lord
heareth
:
Who
trauelling
together
with
his
mother
the
Church
in
this
world
,
fighteth
against
the
enemies
thereof
,
and
shooteth
the
arrows
of
faith
against
all
infernal
and
cruell
beasts
.
For
Schamah
signifies
,
Hee
hath
heard
;
and
El
,
The
almighty
God
,
who
mercifully
heareth
the
feruent
prayers
and
petitions
of
the
Iust
;
according
to
that
of
S.
Iames
,
cap.
5.15
.
Ismael
was
born
An.
mundi
2035.
Abraham
being
then
86
years
of
age
.
He
was
circumcised
at
13
,
he
went
from
his
father
at
15
;
he
was
at
Abrahams
funeral
being
89
yeares
of
age
:
he
died
when
he
was
137
yeares
of
age
,
fifty
yeares
after
the
death
of
Abraham
,
and
left
behinde
him
twelue
sonnes
as
Iacob
did
,
which
were
the
Princes
of
their
families
,
as
was
his
.
Of
which
the
Apostle
Paul
hath
an
excellent
Allegorie
;
Abraham
had
two
sons
,
one
by
the
bond-woman
,
another
by
the
free-woman
:
he
that
was
of
the
bond
woman
was
according
to
the
flesh
,
but
he
that
was
of
the
free
woman
was
by
promise
.
By
which
things
another
thing
is
meant
;
for
the
one
,
which
is
Agar
of
mount
Sinai
,
gendereth
vnto
bondage
:
for
Agar
or
Sinai
is
a
mountaine
in
Arabia
,
and
answereth
to
Ierusalem
that
now
is
;
and
shee
is
in
bondage
with
her
Children
:
but
Ierusalem
which
is
aboue
is
free
,
for
it
is
written
,
Reioyce
thou
Barren
,
&c.
Wherefore
we
are
no
more
of
the
bond
woman
(
which
is
the
Law
)
but
of
the
Free
,
not
by
our
owne
works
or
righteousnesse
,
but
by
fairh
in
Christ
,
who
maketh
vs
heirs
of
that
heauenly
Ierusalem
.
Where
Ishmael
dwelt
.
PAran
a
city
of
Arabia
the
Stony
,
stood
104
miles
from
Ierusalem
Southward
,
and
taketh
the
name
from
fertilitie
;
for
Purah
with
the
Hebrews
signifies
a
fruitfull
root
.
From
this
Metropolitan
towne
,
the
desart
of
Arabia
the
stony
neere
Cades
taketh
name
:
of
which
mention
is
made
,
Num.
13
&
14.
Deut.
1.
Gen.
14.21
.
Abac.
3.
and
is
called
the
desart
of
Pharan
.
Here
Ishmael
that
excellent
Archer
and
hunter
dwelt
,
after
with
great
power
and
strength
he
had
conquered
all
the
neighboring
princes
and
people
thereabout
.
His
posteritie
also
inhabited
these
parts
,
and
after
his
name
were
called
Ismaelites
,
some
eighty
miles
from
Ierusalem
toward
the
South
.
These
people
were
excellent
soldiers
,
and
of
noble
courage
;
their
principal
delight
was
shooting
,
and
therein
they
exceeded
others
;
liuing
for
the
most
part
by
hunting
and
pillage
,
and
so
they
continue
to
this
day
.
The
Saracens
who
likewise
had
their
abiding
in
those
parts
were
deriued
from
that
family
,
though
they
had
rather
take
their
name
from
Sara
,
and
from
thence
Saracens
:
These
are
of
the
opinion
of
the
Turks
.
The
Trauels
of
Eleazer
the
seruant
of
Abraham
.
AFter
Eleazer
had
sworne
to
his
master
to
take
a
wife
for
his
son
Isaac
of
the
generation
of
his
fathers
,
he
went
from
the
valley
of
Mamre
neere
Hebron
,
to
Haran
a
City
of
Mesopotamia
,
468
miles
off
,
and
there
made
a
Contract
with
Rebecc●
the
daughter
of
Bethuel
,
and
sister
of
Laban
,
whom
he
tooke
along
with
him
and
returned
to
his
master
.
So
that
his
journey
to
and
againe
was
944
miles
.
These
things
hapned
in
the
yeare
of
the
world
2089
,
and
before
Christ
1879
,
Isaac
then
being
forty
yeres
of
age
.
This
Eleazer
was
Steward
of
Abrahams
house
,
and
borne
at
Damascus
the
chiefe
City
of
Syria
.
Hee
was
so
called
,
because
God
was
his
helpe
:
Eleazer
being
a
compound
word
of
El
and
Ezaer
,
which
signifies
Almighty
God
the
helper
.
From
whence
we
may
perceiue
that
God
is
the
keeper
of
the
poore
,
and
a
ready
helper
in
time
of
tribulation
;
according
to
that
in
the
Psalmes
,
All
they
that
know
thee
trust
in
thee
;
because
thou
,
O
Lord
,
hearest
their
prayers
,
and
bringest
them
out
of
trouble
.
Rebeccha
,
as
it
should
seeme
,
tooke
her
name
from
the
expectation
of
Eternall
life
▪
for
Rebechan
in
Hebrew
doth
denote
such
a
woman
,
which
expecteth
a
free
deliuerie
frrom
all
calamitie
,
and
an
inheritance
of
eternall
life
.
Therefore
Rebeccha
is
a
notable
type
of
the
Church
of
God
,
which
is
the
Spouse
of
Christ
,
shadowed
in
Isaac
;
as
shall
hereafter
be
more
plainely
manifested
.
The
Trauels
of
the
Patriarch
Isaac
.
ISaac
being
young
,
went
with
his
father
Abraham
from
Berzeba
to
mount
Moriah
,
where
his
father
would
haue
offered
him
vnto
God
,
as
the
Lord
commanded
him
,
which
is
fortie
miles
,
Gens
.
22.
2
From
thence
with
his
father
hee
returned
againe
to
Berzeba
,
which
is
forty
miles
.
3
From
Berzeba
he
trauelled
with
his
father
to
Hebron
,
by
the
plaine
of
Mamre
,
which
is
16
miles
.
4
From
the
plaine
of
Mamre
Isaac
trauelled
Southward
,
to
the
fountain
of
life
,
which
is
16
miles
,
&
there
he
dwelt
,
Gen.
24.
5
From
thence
he
returned
backe
again
to
his
fathers
burial
,
who
was
laid
in
that
double
caue
in
Mamre
,
which
is
16
miles
.
6
From
thence
he
returned
backe
againe
to
the
Well
of
life
,
where
he
dwelt
;
16
miles
.
7
From
the
Fountaine
of
life
,
hee
went
to
Gerar
,
which
is
8
miles
;
where
Abimelech
seeing
the
beauty
of
his
wife
Rebeccha
,
would
haue
rauisht
her
,
and
for
feare
she
told
him
that
she
was
his
sister
,
Gen.
26.
8
From
Gerar
Isaac
went
Westward
to
the
valley
of
Gerar
which
is
8
miles
,
and
there
he
caused
the
Well
to
be
digged
vp
againe
,
which
the
inhabitants
had
stopped
vp
,
Gen.
26.
9
From
thence
he
went
to
Beersaba
,
which
is
foure
miles
;
where
the
same
night
the
Lord
appeared
vnto
him
,
and
said
,
I
am
the
God
of
thy
father
Abraham
,
feare
not
,
for
I
am
with
thee
and
will
blesse
and
multiply
thy
seed
for
my
seruant
Abrahams
sake
,
Gen.
26.
10
From
Beersaba
he
returned
againe
to
Hebron
by
the
plain
of
Mamre
,
which
is
16
miles
:
here
Abraham
,
Sarah
,
and
Rebeccha
,
died
,
and
were
buried
,
Gen.
35.
So
all
the
trauels
of
the
Patriarch
Isaac
,
were
one
hundred
forty
eight
miles
.
The
typicall
signification
of
Isaac
.
THe
name
of
Isaac
is
deriued
from
laughter
:
for
Zakah
in
Hebrew
is
as
much
as
quod
risit
is
in
Latine
,
which
signifieth
that
he
laughed
;
and
from
hence
Zechock
signifies
a
Laughter
,
and
Isaac
,
mirth
,
or
one
that
reioyceth
with
mirth
.
This
name
was
giuen
to
him
by
God
before
his
natiuitie
,
Gen.
17.18
.
There
were
seuen
that
were
named
by
God
before
their
natiuitie
,
viz.
Ishmael
Gen.
16.
Isaac
,
Gen.
17.
Cores
or
Cyrus
King
of
the
Persians
,
Esa
44.
Sampson

Iudg.
13.
Iosia

of

,

Iohn
Baptist
,
and
Iesus
Christ
the
sonne
of
God
,
Luke
1.
of
whom
Isaae
was
a
notable
type
.
For
Christ
is
our
true
rejoicing
,
the
laughter
,
mirth
,
and
delight
of
the
whole
Church
of
God
.
Abraham
vpon
the
day
of
the
natiuitie
of
Isaac
made
a
great
feast
,
to
which
,
no
doubt
,
he
called
many
godly
men
,
and
perhaps
some
of
the
Patriarchs
:
for
there

The
Description
of
the
Townes
and
places
to
which
Iacob
trauelled
.
Of
Bethel
.
BEthel
was
a
Towne
in
the
Tribe
of
Benjamin
,
eight
miles
from
Ierusalem
toward
the
North
,
and
signifies
The
house
of
God
.
In
times
past
it
was
called
Luz
:
but
Iacob
seeing
in
that
place
the
vision
of
the
Ladder
,
with
the
Angells
ascending
and
descending
vpon
it
,
and
because
there
the
Lord
renued
the
couenant
with
him
concerning
his
seed
,
and
the
comming
of
Christ
;
he
therefore
called
it
Bethel
.
Afterward
,
Ieroboam
hauing
vnlawfully
vsurpt
the
kingdome
of
Rehoboham
,
caused
a
calfe
to
be
set
vp
there
:
for
which
cause
it
was
then
called
Bethauen
,
which
signifieth
the
house
of
sinne
and
abhominable
offence
.
Vatablus
is
of
opinion
,
that
there
are
two
Bethels
,
one
in
the
tribe
of
Benjamin
,
the
other
in
the
tribe
of
Ephraim
,
both
not
far
from
Hay
:
but
if
this
should
be
granted
,
then
these
two
townes
should
stand
within
two
miles
one
of
the
other
,
which
seemeth
very
absurd
;
therefore
I
dare
boldly
affirme
,
that
there
was
but
one
Bethel
,
which
stood
vpon
the
borders
of
Benjamin
and
Ephraim
,
both
tribes
bordering
vpon
the
South
side
of
the
towne
of
Luz
,
Iosh.
16.
&
18.
This
towne
of
Bethel
was
at
first
in
the
Suburbs
of
Lue
,
vntill
the
diuision
of
the
tribes
;
for
then
both
these
Tribes
of
Ephraim
and
Benjamin
,
ending
in
that
place
,
so
much
increased
this
town
,
that
they
became
both
one
city
,
and
so
were
called
Bethel
,
Ie.
28.
&
35.
Iosh.
7.
&
18.
From
hence
there
is
a
two-fold
mistery
to
be
apprehended
:
the
first
,
of
Iacob
,
whose
sleeping
in
this
place
vpon
a
stone
,
caused
this
Citie
or
Towne
to
be
built
,
and
to
retaine
the
name
of
Bethel
,
that
is
,
The
house
of
God
.
So
whosoeuer
seekes
to
haue
eternall
life
,
must
rest
vpon
that
corner
stone
Christ
Iesus
,
the
sonne
of
the
euerliuing
God
,
and
by
faith
bee
incorporated
into
the
Church
,
which
is
the
house
of
God
,
of
which
Christ
(
the
Annointed
of
the
Lord
)
is
both
King
and
Priest
for
euer
.
Secondly
,
as
Iacob
resting
vpon
this
corner
stone
,
saw
the
Angels
ascending
and
descending
from
heauen
vnto
earth
;
so
by
this
incorporation
into
the
body
of
the
Church
(
of
which
Christ
is
the
head
)
by
Faith
and
Baptisme
,
our
soules
are
made
capable
to
ascend
into
that
heauenly
Tabernacle
,
which
he
hath
prepared
for
all
those
that
beleeue
:
according
to
that
in
Iohn
14.
I
am
the
way
,
the
truth
,
and
the
life
,
no
man
commeth
vnto
the
father
but
by
me
only
.
And
whosoeuer
is
assured
of
this
ladder
(
that
reacheth
from
heauen
vnto
earth
)
may
well
say
with
Iacob
,
surely
the
Lord
Iesus
Christ
is
in
this
place
;
here
is
nothing
but
the
house
of
God
,
and
here
is
the
gate
of
heauen
;
as
Christ
himselfe
testifieth
in
the
tenth
of
Iohn
,
I
am
the
doore
,
and
whosoeuer
entreth
not
by
me
,
&c.
So
that
Christ
is
the
head
of
his
Church
,
the
ladder
that
ascendeth
into
heauen
,
and
the
doore
whereby
we
may
enter
into
eternall
life
.
Of
Gilead
.
THis
land
of
Gilead
was
a
country
that
lay
betweene
Iordan
and
the
mountaine
of
Gilead
,
or
rather
betweene
the
sea
of
Galilee
and
the
mount
Gilead
,
sixtie
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards

for
the
mountaines
of

,
beginning
at

Gilead
,
extended
thence
vnto
Arabia
the
stony
,
and
seperated
the
countrey
of
Israel
beyond

,
from
the
countrey
of
the
Amonites
.
But
that
part
which
lyeth
betweene
the
Sea
of
Galilee
and
Ammon
,
is
properly
called
Gilead
;
for
when
Iacob
and
Laban
made
a
couenant
either
with
other
,
in
the
mount
Gilead
,
they
gathered
a
heape
of
stones
,
and
making
a
banquet
eat
together
vpon
it
,
Gen.
13.
and
from
thence
,
that
mountain
and
all
the
countrey
thereabouts
tooke
the
name
,
For
Laban
in
the
Syrian
tongue
is
called
IEGAR
SAHADVTA
,
the
heap
of
couenant
.
But
Iacob
in
the
Hebrew
language
called
that
mountain
together
with
all
the
Countrie
thereabouts
,
Galeed
or
Galaad
;
the
heape
of
testimonie
:
for
Gal
signifieth
a
heape

Galal
,
He
rolled

or
hee
thrust

a

Sheepe
that
resorted
thither
:
for
Migdal
signifies
a
Tower
,
and
Aeder
a
flocke
or
heard
:
for
thereabouts
were
very
fertile
pastures
.
Here
the
Angels
told
the
sheepheards
of
the
natiuitie
of
Christ
,
lying
at
Bethlem
in
a
manger
:
and
in
the
place
of
that
tower
there
was
a
Church
built
,
which
in
Ieroms
time
was
called
Angelus
ad
Pastores
,
because
the
Angels
there
appeared
to
the
sheepe-heards
.
Here
Iacob
dwelt
for
a
time
,
and
in
this
place

the

whereof
was
Ony
,
two
hundred
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
Southwest
:
in
this
Citie
Iacob
dwelt
.
The
typicall
signification
of
the
Patriarch
Iacob
.
IAcob
signifies
,
a
supplanter
,
and
was
a
type
of
Christ
,
who
is
that
supplanter
of
Sathan
,
and
by
his
death
hath
broken
his
head
in
pieces
.
Againe
,
he
is
the
type
of
a
Christian
man
:
For
as
he
wrestling
with
the
Angell
,
obtained
a
blessing
;
so
euery
good
man
continually
striuing
with
perseuerance
in
prayer
,
shall
at
length
obtaine
an
euerlasting
blessing
:
for
,
for
this
cause
was
Iacob
called
Israel
,
that
is
,
the
Prince
of
God
,
in
that
he
preuailed
with
God
:
so
all
those
that
beleeue
in
Christ
,
are
called
Princes
of
the
kingdome
of
heauen
:
because
by
his
mediation
they
haue
preuailed
with
God
,
and
are
made
partakers
of
eternall
life
.
Iacob
had
two
wiues
,
Leah
and
Rachel
;
Leah
signifies
,
wearied
,
and
was
a
type
of
the
old
Mosaicall
Church
:
for
that
was
oppressed
and
wearied
with
the
lawes
of
Moses
,
and
brought
forth
Priests
,
Leuites
,
Kings
,
and
warlike
Princes
,
by
which
the
people
of
the
Iewes
became
oppressed
and
wearied
by
extreame
labors
,
and
at
length
were
miserably
extinguished
:
for
as
it
is
in
the
15
of
the
Acts
of
the
Apostles
,
The
law
of
Moses
was
an
intollerable
and
troublesome
burthen
.
But
Rachel
signifies
a
Sheepe
,
and
is
a
type
and
signe
of
the
Church
of
God
in
the
New
Testament
,
as
Christ
himselfe
speaketh
in
the
tenth
of
Iohn
,
My
sheepe
heare
my
voice
and
follow
me
,
and
I
will
giue
them
eternall
life
.
Sheepe
are
naturally
patient
and
peaceable
;
so
all
such
as
are
of
Christs
Church
,
seeke
after
patience
and
peace
.
Leah
was
nothing
so
faire
,
but
much
more
fruitfull
:
Rachel
was
nothing
so
fruitfull
,
but
a
great
deale
fairer
.
Leah
was
the
mother
of
Benjamin
which
signifieth
sorrow
:
Rachel
of
Ioseph
,
who
was
a
type
of
Christ
.
Of
the
Trauels
of
Esau
.
ESau
trauelled
from
mount
Sier
in
Mesopotamia
,
to
the
towne
of
Pnuell
or
Penuell
,
eightie
miles
to
meet
his
brother
Iacob
:
where
the
singular
ciuilitie
and
humilitie
of
Iacob
towards
him
,
is
worthy
obseruation
.
For
hee
first
sent
to
meet
him
,
then
hee
did
him
obedience
to
the
ground
seuen
seuerall
times
,
and
so
saluted
him
,
saying
,
Loe
,
these
are
the
children
which
God
of
his
grace
haue
giuing
his
seruant
.
From
whence
it
may
be
gathered
,
That
it
becommeth
euery
man
(
if
it
be
possible
)
to
win
his
enemy
to
peace
and
concord
rather
by
humanitie
and
humilitie
,
than
by
force
:
for
Esau
seeing
this
kind
of
reuerence
,
though
before
he
had
a
full
determination
to
doe
him
violence
,
yet
now
he
comes
to
meet
him
,
embraces
him
,
takes
him
about
the
necke
,
beginnes
to
weepe
,
and
kisses
him
,
yea
such
was
their
loue
,
that
they
both
wept
with
joy
,
Gen.
35.
After
,
Esau
returning
,
went
home
to
Sier
backe
againe
,
eightie
miles
:
these
things
hapned
in
the
yeare
of
the
World
2206
;
when
both
brethren
were
about
89
yeares
of
age
,
and
in

yeare
before

1762.
Of

Sier
.
MOunt
Sier
where
Esau
and
his
posteritie
dwelt
,
is
forty
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
South
,
and
was
so
called
of
Sier
,
the
King
or
Lord
thereof
,
of
whom
came
the
Horrites
;
who
being
driuen
thence
by
the
fourteene
sonnes
of
Esau
,
into
Arabia
the
stony
,
where
they
continued
,
Gen.
36.
It
was
called
Edom
of
Esau
,
and
then
,
Idumaea
,
Gen.
25.
and
the
inhabitants
thereof
Edomites
,
or
Idumaeans
.
The
typicall
meaning
of
Esau
.
ESau
signifies
a
Factor
,
and
was
so
called
from
rednes
:
The
enemies
of
the
church
colouring
themselues
red
with
the
blood
of
the
godly
:
For
as
Rebecca
had
in
her
wombe
two
sonnes
,
that
is
,
Esau
and
Iacob
;
one
elected
,
the
other
reprobated
:
so
in
the
Church
there
are
found
two
sorts
of
people
,
good
and
euill
;
some
are
wicked
and
impious
,
contemners
of
Gods
word
,
and
persecuters
of
the
Church
;
as
after
,
the
posterity
of
Esau
was
.
But
there
are
others
that
are
the
faithfull
children
of
God
,
that
hope
through
the
mediation
of
our
blessed
Sauiour
,
to
be
made
heires
of
euerlasting
happinesse
,
and
be
crowned
with
him
in
his
kingdome
with
the
crowne
of
Glory
.
So
that
here
the
saying
of
our
Sauiour
may
be
verified
;
the
first
shall
be
last
,
and
the
last
shall
be
first
.
for
Esau
was
the
eldest
,
yet
lost
his
birthwrite
;
and
Iacob
was
the
youngest
,
yet
got
the
blessing
.
Of
the
Trauels

IVda
trauelled
from
Sichem
,
where
Iacob
dwelt
,
and
went
to
the
towne
of
Odulla
,
some
forty
and
foure
miles
,
where
he
was
married
to
the
daughter
of
one
Chananei
whose
name
was
Schuah
which
signinifies
,
A
happy
Sauiour
,
by
her
he
had
two
children
in
that
place
,
viz.
Ger
and
Onan
.
From
thence
hee
went
to
Timnah
to
sheare
his
sheepe
,
six
miles
:
and
as
hee
turned
aside
out
of
the
way
,
hee
committed
incest
with
his
daughter
in
law
,
Thamer
,
when
shee
was
about
26
yeares
of
age
.
Afterward
hee
went
twice
with
his
brethren
into
Aegypt
,
to
buy
corne
at
Zoan
,
where
Ioseph
at
that
time
was
;
for
the
famine
was
very
great
round
about
.
So
that
reckoning
his
journey
twice
two
and
againe
,
it
amounted
to
eight
hundred
twentie
and
two
miles
;
for
Zoan
was
208
miles
from
Hebron
where
Iacob
and
his
sonnes
dwelt
.
Lastly
,
he
returned
againe
with
his
father
and
his
brother
into
Aegypt
,
two
hundred
and
eight
miles
.
These
things
happened
in

at

as
the

invaded

he
had
much

Therefore

Of
the
Trauels
of
the
Patriarch
Ioseph
.
WHen
Ioseph
was
sent
from
Hebron
by
his
father
Iacob
,
hee
went
to
Sichem
to
seeke
his
brothers
,
60
miles
,
Gen.
37.
2
From
thence
he
went
to
Dothan
,
foure
miles
,
where
by
his
brothers
he
was
throwne
into
a
Pit
,
and
after
sold
to
the
Ishmalites
,
Gen.
37.
3
From
Dothan
hee
was
carried
to
Tanis
in
Aegypt
,
and
there
sold
to
Potipher
,
Pharaohs
chiefe
steward
,
272
miles
.
4
From
Tanis
he
went
to
meet
his
father
in
the
land
of
Gosen
,
which
is
28
miles
,
Gen.
46.
5
From
thence
he
turned
backe
againe
to
Tanis
,
and
presented
his
father
and
brethren
vnto
Pharaoh
,
Gen.
47.
which
is
28
miles
.
6
From
thence
hee
went
backe
to
Ony
to
see
his
father
,
who
now
was
sick
vnto
the
death
,
there
receiuing
his
blessing
,
he
closed
his
eies
,
which
was
28
miles
.
7
From
thence
he
returned
backe
againe
to
Tanis
,
which
is
28
miles
.
8
From
Tanis
he
went
backe
to
Ony
,
with
a
great
company
of
horses
and
chariots
,
preparing
an
honourable
funerall

lies
vpon
the
further
side

miles
,
where
hee
made
a
great
lamentation
for
the
death
of
his
father
7
daies
,
Gen.
50.
The
reason
why
Ioseph
went
thus
far
about
,
was
,
because
hee
went
with
such
a
company
towards
Hebron
,
that
the
Idumaeans
,
through
whose
countrey
he
should
haue
gone
,
would
not
suffer
him
to
passe
that
way
,
standing
in
feare
of
his
power
.
10
From
Atad
he
went
to
Hebron
the
Metropolis
of
the
tribe
of
Iudah
,
neere
to
which
stood
the
double
caue
in
the
vaile
of
Mamre
,
where
Iacob
was
buried
,
which
was
40
miles
,
Gen.
50.
11
From
thence
to
Heliopolis
,
a
city
of
the
Aegyptians
,
where
Ioseph
set
vp
a
stately
Academy
for
all
Aegypt
,
which
was
accounted
200
miles

12
From
thence
he
went
to
Tanis
or
Zoan
,
which
was
the
chiefe
defence
and
Metropolitan
citie
of
all
Aegypt
,
being
accounted

The
interpretation

of
the

Ioseph
,

of
his
life

IOseph
was
a

diuers
waies
:
for
as
Iosephs
coat
being
of
diuers
colours
,
was
dipped
in
the
bloud
of
Goates
,
so
Christ
being
very
God
,
taking
vpon
him
the
humane
nature
,
and
sprinkled
with
the
bloud
of
his
stripes
and
wounds
(
being
the
lambe
of
God
slaine
for
the
sinnes
of
the
world
)
was
also
made
changeable
and
of
diuers
colours
.
Againe
,
as
Ioseph
was
sent
by
Iacob
to
seeke
his
brethren
:
so
Christ
was
sent
by
God
his
father
to
seeke
the
lost
sheepe
of
Israel
,
which
according
to
the
flesh
,
were
his
brethren
,
Mat.
15.
And
as
the
brethren
of
Ioseph
were
so
great
enemies
to
him
,
that
it
was
not
possible
for
them
to
dissemble
their
hatred
towards
him
,
but
that
both
in
words
and
deeds
,
they
must
needs
expresse
their
bitternesse
,
(
enuie
being
the
common
companion
of
vertue
)
so
the
Iewes
,
the
brethen
of
Christ
,
to
whom
the
knees
of
all
things
both
in
heauen
,
in
hell
,
and
in
earth
bow
,
persecuting
him
with
taunts
,
mockes
,
and
stripes
,
yea
,
vnto
death
,
because
he
professed
himselfe
to
be
a
good
man
,
and
the
sonne
of
the
euerliuing
God
.
And
as
the
Ismalites
and
Midianites
,
to
whom
Ioseph
was
sold
by
Iudah
,
was
of
the
stocke
of
Ioseph
,
the
one
being
deriued
from
Ismael
the
sonne
of
Abraham
by
his
maid
Hagar
,
the
other
of
Midian
the
sonne
of
his
second
wife
Keturah
:
So
Christ
was
sold
by
Iudas
his
disciple
,
to
the
Iewes
his
kindred
according
to
the
flesh
,
if
you
respect
the
nation
.
The
difference
was
in
the
price
;
Ioseph
the
type
being
sold
but
for
twenty
pieces
of
siluer
,
Christ
the
substance
sold
at
thirtie

some

In
this

the
Kings

There
was
also
another
city
of
the
same
name
,
that
stood
neere
to
Arnon
,
some
24
miles
from
Ierusalem
toward
the
East
;
so
that
the
Midianites
had
their
seat
partly
neere

and
partly
vpon
the

saith
,
In

is
a
chappel

called
the
Church

In
this
Chappel
there
is
a
place
shewed
where
God
spake
with
Moses
,
Ex.

but
how
true
that
I
leaue
,
because
there
are
many
Churches
built

Monks

for
no
other
purpose
but
to
deceiue
trauellers
and
pilgrims
of
their

THis

is
a
metropolitan
city
in
the
land
of
Gossen
,
174
miles

Ioy

Of
Pihachiroth
.
THis
was
a
certain
Plain
lying
between
two
hils
neere
to
the
Red
sea
,
and
was
called
Pinaehiroth
,
which
signifies
,
a
mouth
cut
or
carued
out
;
where
the
Children
of
Israel
pitched
their
tents
.
Here
Pharaoh
inuaded
them
when
they
went
out
of
Egypt
,
taking
opportunitie
of
the
place
:
for
they
hauing
on
either
side
of
them
an
high
mountaine
,
before
them
the
red
sea
,
and
behinde
them
a
cruell
and
mighty
tyrant
,
to
the
iudgment
of
man
had
no
means
to
escape
.
But
the
Lord
to
expresse
the
mightines
of
his
power
,
and
that
the
Children
of
Israell
might
know
who
it
was
that
deliuered
them
,
made
them
a
passage
,
&
led
them
vnder
the
conduct
of
Moses
through
the
red
sea
;
in
that
very
place
drowning
their
enemies
,
which
had
thought
to
make
a
prey
of
them
.
A
little
from
this
place
the
temple
of
the
idol
Baalzephon
is
to
be
seen
Of
the
Red
sea
.
THe
Red
sea
is
160
miles
from
Ierusalem
Southward
,
betwixt
Arabia
and
Aegypt
,
and
as
some
are
of
opinion
,
it
taketh
the
name
of
the
red
scales
that
grow
therein
,
wherefore
in
Scripture
it
is
also
called
the
Scaly
sea
.
Some
say
it
taketh
the
name
from
red
sand
that
lies
on
the
shore
,
cast
vp
by
the
sea
.
Others
say
,
tha●
the
rednesse
thereof
hapneth
because
of
the
shadow
cast
into
the
water
by
the
mountaines
thereabout
.
The
vulgar
are
of
opinion
,
that
it
is
naturally
red
by
reason
of
the
water
;
but
it
is
not
so
,
because
it
is
like
the
water
of
the
Ocean
,
cleare
and
salt
.
Strabo
,
li.
16
obserueth
,
that
this
sea
was
so
called
from
Erithraea
,
and
thence
Mare
Arithraeum
;
because
the
word
Erithraeum
in
Greek
signifieth
red
or
purple
:
the
Latines
call
it
Mare
rubrum
,
and
we
,
the
red
sea
▪
This
Erithrae
was
sonne
to
Perseus
and
Andromada
,
who
sometime●
dwelt
in
the
Island
of
that
sea
.
It
is
also
called
the
Arabian
gulf
running
from
the
South
to
the
West
;
and
by
the
Hebrewes
,
Iam-suph
,
a
scaly
sea
:
all
which
names
are
at
this
day
vsed
:
at
the
vtmos●
bounds
hereof
are
seene
the
admirable
workes
of
Pharaoh
Meco
,
who
would
haue
brought
this
Sea
to
the
riuer
Nilus
,
that
so
he
might
haue
sailed
thence
into
the
Mediterranian
Sea
:
But
this
worke
he
could
not
finish
,
being
opposed
by
the
wise
men
of
Aegypt
.

growes
certaine

Of
the
misterie
of
the
red
Sea

AS
Moses
led
the
children
of
Israel
through
the
red
Sea
,
and
deliuered
them
from
the
bondage
and
captiuitie
of
the
Kings
of
Aegypt
;
So
Iesus
Christ
the
Sonne
of
God
,
by
his
precious
bloud
,
hath
deliuered
vs
from
the
house
of
bondage
,
and
the
tyranny
of
Sathan
:
and
as
Pharaoh
and
all
his
host
was
there
drowned
;
so
the
sinne
of
Adam
,
Death
,
and
the
Diuell
,
in
that
sea
of
Christs
bloud
is
vtterly
drowned
,
and
we
deliuered
from
the
pit
of
hell
.
Of
Baal-Zephon
.
THis
was
an
Idol
erected
by
the
Aegyptians
neer
to
the
shore
of
the
Red
Sea
,
and
is
called
Baal-zephon
,
that
is
,
the
Lord
of
defence
and
watchfulnesse
,
because
as
they
thought
,
hee
resisted
fugitiue
seruants
,
as
Fagius
and
other
Hebrewes
obserue
:
being
deriued
from
Baal
,
which
signifies
,
a
Lord
,
and
Zapha
,
that
is
,
That
hath
seene
,
or
,
to
behold
and
see
.
The
temple
of
this
Idol
stood
close
by
the
shore
of
the
Red
sea
,
vpon
a
high
hill
,
very
curiously
wrought
,
so
that
the
children
of
Israel
going
through
the
same
,
could
not
chuse
but
see
it
,
yet
neuerthelesse
they
went
securely
,
when
Pharaoh
and
all
his
host
were
drowned
,
notwithstanding
,
that
their
God
of
defence
was
so
neere
them
.
Of
Marah
.
THis
is
a
place
in
the
Desart
,
which
took
the
name
of
bitternesse
,
distant
from
Ierusalem
160
miles
towards
the
Southwest
.
Here
Moses
made
the
water
sweet
by
throwing
in
wood
:
The
misterie
whereof
is
,
when
Adam
and
Euah
had
eaten
of
the
forbidden
fruit
,
they
brought
bitternesse

Language
,
as

Of
Mount
Sinai
.
SInai
is
120
miles
from

towards
the
South
,
and
because
in
that
place
there
are
many
bushes
and
thorns
,
it
is
called
Sinai
:
for
Senaëh
signifies
a
Bush
.
Here
the
Law
(
which
wee
call
the
ten
Commandements
)
was
giuen
;
&
not
vnfitly
,
because
like
thornes
they
prick
and
vex
the
hearts
and
consciences
of
wicked
men
.
It
is
also
called
Horeb
,
or
Chareb
,
which
signifies
a

Bernard
Breitenbacchus
and
many
others
in
the
moneth
of
September
1483
,
went
purposely
to
see
this
mountaine
,
and
with
great
labor
ascended
to
the
top
thereof
;
for
(
as
he
saith
)
it
is
a
great
mountain
,
and
of
an
extraordinary
height
;
in
the
lower
part
round
,
in
the
vpper
part
diuided
into
two
tops
or
mountains
,
one
standing
toward
the
West
,
the
other
toward
the
East
.
That
toward
the
West
is
called
Horeb
,
that
to
the
East
,
Sinai
.
And
from
these
two
it
is
somtimes
called
Horeb
,
somtimes
Sinai
,
being
both
one
hill
of
the
base
.
Between
these
there
lies
a
faire
and
spatious
Plain
,
in
the
middle
whereof
(
and
as
it
may
be
thought
in
the
midst
of
the
mountain
)
there
stands
a
monasterie
,
neere
to
which
there
is
adioyning
a
very
pleasant
Garden
and
Orchard
,
plentifully
furnished
with
Date
trees
,
Fig
trees
,
and
many
others
very
profitable
and
pleasant
;
where
in
antient
times
were
many
Monks
that
continued
there
.
But
it
hapned
that
a
certain
number
of
Pagans
,
in
hope
to
find
some
booty
,
came
from
a
hauen
of
the
red
sea
,
called
Thor
,
and
vpon
a
sudden
broke
in
vpon
them
,
and
put
forty
of
them
to
the
sword
;
from
whence
it
was
euer
after
called
the
Abby
of
the
forty
Martyrs
.
Now
it
remains
desolate
,
few
or
none
inhabiting
there
,
onely
two
Monks
of
S.
Katharines
Order
,
and
these
are
also
grieuously
troubled
with
the
incursions
of
the
Arabians
.
The
orchard
also
is
destroyed
with
locusts
and

,
of

pleasant

in

standeth
a
goodly
fountain
which
watereth
all
about
it
.
In
this
place
there
are
a
great
number
of
poore
Monkes
,
which
get
their
liuing
by
their
hands
,
in
the
desart
thereabouts
.
They
say
that
here
stood
the
golden
calfe
spoken
of
in
the
32
of
Exodus
.
And
they
shew
a
round
stone
lying
there
,
where
they
say
Moses

the
two
Tables
that
were

tomb
of
Saint
Katherine
,
standing

of
the
quire
,
there
stands
a
little
doore

which
you
enter

of
Saint
Marie
of

Bush
,
where
they

place
of

Bush
in
which
God
appeared
vnto
Moses
:
And
to
giue
grace
vnto
their
superstitions
,
there
may
none
enter
into
that
place
,
but
hee
must
put
off
his
hose
and
shooes
.
There
is
another
place
,
where
they
say
God
commanded
Moses
to
bring
vp
Aaron
,
Nadab
,
and
Abihu
with
him
,
and
the
seuenty
Elders
;
with
many
other
superstitious
chappels
,
which
would
be
too
tedious
&
friuolous
to
recite
.
Not
far
from
this
there
standeth
also
a
Mosko
of
the
Sarazens
,
ful
as
faire
and
spacious
as
that
of
Saint
Katherines
,
to
which
there
is

The

hereabouts
shew
the

of
a

sepulchre
standing
vpon
the

they
say
Samuel
was
buried
:
but
that
canot
be
true
,
for
he
was
buried
at
Ramath
,
which
now
is
called

Therefore
it
seems
to
be
either
the
ruins
of
Elies
sepulchre
,
who
died
miserably
in
that
place
;
or
else
of
the

For

The
Mistery
of
Deborah
.
THe
word
Deborah
signifies
,
a
Bee
,
and
is
a
memorable
type
of
the
Church
.
For
as
a
Bee
in
all
her
actions
soundeth
pleasantly
;
so
the
members
of
Gods
Church
in
all
their
actions
sing
and
sound
forth
the
praises
of
God
,
or
by
continuall
prayers
implore
his
ayde
and
assistants
;
with
the
Bee
sucking
from
the
floures
of
the
holy
Scriptures
,
the
sweet
and
acceptable
doctrine
of
faith
,
by
which
the
hope
of
euerlasting
life
is
strengthned
in
vs
,
with
the
sting
of
Gods
word
repulsing
all
vaine
delusions
and
idle
imaginations
,
(
the
temptations
of
the
Diuel
)
and
those
waspish
affections
of
cruell
and
wicked
men
;
according
to
that
of
Ecclesiasticus
,
The
Bee
is
but
small
,
yet
bringeth
forth
most
pleasant
fruit
,
and
presenteth
vnto
man
many
memorable
instructions
.
And
as
Plato
saith
,
The
King
of
Bees
,
although
without
a
sting
,
yet
ruleth
and
gouerneth
his
Commonwealth
with
great
seueritie
and
justice
.
So
Christ
the
head
of
the
Church
,
though
he
be
a
delectable
Sauiour
of
soules
,
and
without
any
sting
of
bitternesse
,
yet
doth
hee
rule
and
gouerne
it
with
singular
justice
and
sinceritie
.
Of
Barak

AFter
Deborah
was
appointed
Iudge
of

shee
ordained
Barak
for
her
chiefe
Commander
or
Captaine

He
taketh
his
name
from
Thunder
and
Lightning
;
typically
representing
the
glory
of
Christ
Iesus
,
as
chiefe
Captaine
of
the
Church
,
who
with
the
thunder
of
the
Law
,
and
the
bright
shining
glory
of
the
Gospell
,
destroyed
the
enemies
thereof
;
and
by
the
hosts
of
Angels
and
Saints
at
the
end
of
the
World
,
will
cast
them
downe
with
thunder

into
that
bottomlesse
pit

Of

GIDEON
.
DEborah
being
dead
,
Zaeba
and
Zalmuna
(
Kings
of
the
Medianites
)
cruelly
inuaded
the
Land
of
Iudaea
;
but
the
Lord
taking
compassion
vpon
his
People
,
sent
them
a
helper
,
one
GIDEON
the
sonne
of
Ioas
,

North-East
;
and
signifieth
,
a
Rooter
out

from

That

This
man
at
the
appointment
of
the
Lord
,
tooke
vpon
him
the
charge
of
the
people
,
and
at
Ophra
,
which
signifies
,
Dust
,
he
destroied
the
Idol
Baal
,
pitching
vp
in
that
place
an
Alter
to
the
Lord
:
wherefore
he
was
after
called
Ieru-Baal
,
taking
that
name
from
Reuenge
,
because
he
had
destroied
the
Idol
.
He
began
to
rule
in
Israel
in
the
yeare
of
the
World
,
2672
,
and
before
Christ
1296.
From
Ophra
Gideon
went
to
Harad
,
which
standeth
in
the
halfe
Tribe
of
Manasseth
,
where
he
blew
the
Trumpet
.
From
this
place
he
sent
back
22000
of
his
army
,
because
the
Lord
had
so
appointed
.
But
the
Midianites
hearing
of
this
preparation
,
prouided
a
great
host
,
and
pitched
in
the
valley
of
the
hill
Moreh
:
so
Gideon
taking
onely
300
with
him
,
went
ouer
Iordan
,
and
came
to
the
towne
of
Iesrael
,
(
for
Iosephus
saith
)
16
miles

Harod
,
where
he

Midianites
a
wonderfull
ouerthrow

hee
also
tooke

two
princes
,
Oreb
and
Zeb
,
and
returned
to
the
riuer
Iordan
,
where
he
put
them
to

.
From
thence
he
went
to
Succoth
with
his
army
in
expectation
to
haue
refreshed
themselues
,
but
the
inhabitants
shut
him
out
of
the
towne
,
and
gaue
him
many
despightfull
words
.
This
towne
lay
close
by
Iordan
,
and
here
Iacob
sometime
pitched
his
Tent.
From
thence
he
went
to
Penuel

which
is

there
also
they
vsed
him
vnkindly
and
gaue

From
thence
he
went
to

,
which
is

From
thence
he
went
to
Iagbetha
,
which
is
4
miles
,
where
he
conquered
Zaeba
and
Zalmuna
,
Kings
of
the
Midianites
,
who
thinking
themselues
secure
,
made
no
preparation
for
warre
,
till
they
were
besieged
.
This
was
a
memorable
battell
,
and
here
the
two
Kings
were
put
to
death
.
From
thence
he
followed
the
enemy
with
a
great
slaughter
to
Carkor
which
is
foure
miles
.
From
thence
he
went
backe
to
Succoth
,
which
is
8
miles
:
here
he
put
the
inhabitants
of
this
Towne
to
the
sword
,
and
all
the
Elders
and
Princes
he
tore
to
pieces
with
thornes
,
because
they
had
formerly
denied
him
entrance
into
the
citie
.
From
thence
hee
went
to
the
Castle
of
Penuel
,
which
is
two
miles
,
and
vtterly
destroied
it
,
euen
to
the
ground
,
and
put
all
the
inhabitants
to
death
because
of
their
mocks
.
From
thence
he
went
to
Ophra
,
foure
miles
,
where
gathering
together
all
the
gold
which
hee
had
taken
from
the
Midianites
,
he
made

From

went
to

From

The
typicall
signification
of
GEDION

THis
Gedion
(
whose
name
signifieth
to
root
out
)
destroied
and
subuerted
the
enemies
of
the
Iewes
:
so
Christ
hath
destroied
the
kingdome
of
Sathan
,
and
daily
rooteth
out
all
his
impious
and
wicked
members
,
which
are
enemies
to
his
Church
.
The
Trauels
of
Abimalech
the
sixt
Iudge
of
Israel
.
GEDION
being
dead
,
Abimalech
his
sonne
went
from
Ophra
to
Sichem
,
which
is
ten
miles
,
and
there
was
chosen
by
the
citizens
to
succeed
his
father
in
the
gouernment
.
From
thence
he
went
backe
to
Ophra
,
which
is
ten
miles
,
and
there
put
to
death
his
70
brethren
,
all
sonnes
of
Gedion
,
but
by
diuers
concubins
;
for
God
permitted
Bigamie
,
but
did
not
command
it
.
From
Ophra
he
went
ten
miles
into
the
land
of
Sichem
,
and
there
was
chosen
King
,
about
the
yeare
of
the
World
2712.
From
Sichem
(
which
was
the
seat
of
the
kingdome
)
he
went
to
Ophra
being
ten
miles
;
there
he
iudged
Israel
three
yeares
.
After
that
,
hee
went
the
third
time
backe
to
the
Sichemites
,
which
is
10
miles
;
but
they
breaking
promise
with
him
,
for
very
madnesse
he
caused
the
citie
to
be
destroied
,
and
salt
to
be
sowne
in
the
place
,
that
so
euer
after
it
might
become
barren
,
accursed
,
and
vnhabitable
.
From
Sichem
hee
went
with
his
hoast
to
Thebets
or
Tebez
,
which
is
two
miles
,
where
he
was
mortally
wounded
by
a
woman
that
flang
a
stone
vpon
him
at
the
siege
of
that
towne
,
wherof
he
died
,
Iudg.

So
all
the
Trauels
of
Abimelech
were
52
miles
,
Of
Thebez
.
THis
was
distant
from
Sichem
two
miles
Northward
,
and
from
Ierusalem
38
,
it
tooke
the
name
from
Bitzah
,
which
signifieth
,
a
deepe
pond
.
Abimelech
tooke
his
name
from
an
hereditary
kingdome
,
or
rather
because
he
obtained
the
kingdome
ouer
Israel
,
after
his
father
;
and
is
as
much
to
say
,
as
,
My
father
is
a
King
;
because
good
Princes
differ
little
from
good
fathers
:
for
Maelaech
with
the
Hebrews
signifieth
a
King
;
Malechah
,
a
Queene
,
and
Malchech
,
a
kingdome
.
So
that
this
name
Abimelech
properly
signifieth
,
a
King
,
or
one
that
is
a
father
of
his
people
.
Of
the
flight
of
Iotham
which
was
the
brother
of
Abimelech
.
IOtham
signifieth
,
a
perfect
and
swift
man
,
being
deriued
from
Iatham
,
that
is
,
perfect
and
swift
.
This
man
at
such
time
as
Abimilech
put
to
death
the
rest
of
his
brethren
,
to
saue
his
life
fled
to
Mount
Carizin
,
where
hee
propounded
the
riddle
mentioned
,
Iudg.
9.
And
after
,
from
thence
he
went
to
Beerah
,
where
he
hid
himselfe
from
the
fury
of
Abimelech
.
All
this

toward
the
West
,
and
seemeth
to
take
the
name
from
Fowles
;
for
before
that
Sampson
inhabited
there
,
a
multitude
of
fowles
bred
vpon
it
,
and
therefore
it
was
called
Eta
;
for
Aith
signifies
,
a
Fowle
.
This
rocke
growing
to
decay
,
was
repaired
againe
by
Ierobaham
that
idolatrous
King
of
Israel
.
Of
Sampson
.
SAmpson
,
or
Schimpson
,
according
to
the
Hebrew
text
,
taketh
his
name
from
the
Sunne
:
for
Schaemaes
in
Hebrew
signifieth
the
Sunne
,
and
seemeth
to
haue
some
affinity
with
Hercules
,
which
signifieth
,
The
glory
of
the
aire
,
for
what
can
be
said
to
be
the
glory
of
the
aire
,
but
the
Light
of
the
Sunne
,
without
which
it
would
become
exceeding
darke
?
wherefore
as
some
thinke
,
this
Sampson
was
the
true
Hercules
;
and
those
noble
exploits
that
hee
did
,
the
Graecians
attributed
to
their
Hercules
.
The
typicall
signification
of
SAMPSON
.
HE
typically
representeth
Christ
diuers
waies
;
first
,
in
his
person
,
hee
was
a
mightie
man
;
secondly
,
in
his
profession
,
hee
was
a
Nazarite
;
thirdly
,
in
his
calling
,
he
was
a
Prince
and
Iudge
;
fourthly
,
in
his
manner
of
liuing
,
for
he
went
from
place
to
place
,
to
reuenge
himselfe
vpon
the
enemies
of
Gods
people
the
children
of
Israel
;
and
in
his
death
:
euen
so
our
Sauiour
Christ
is
that
strong
man
,
who
being
mightier
than
the
Diuel
,
hath
dispossest
him
of
his
tyrannicall
jurisdiction
ouer
the
soules
of
mankinde
;
hath
taken
away
those
gates
of
death
,
by
his
mercy
opening
vnto
vs
the
dore
of
life
,
that
so
being
set
at
liberty
from
that
hellish
imprisonment
,
we
may
be
made
partakers
of
euerlasting
happinesse
:
he
was
also
a
Nazarite
euen
from
his
mothers
womb
,
borne
and
bred
there
,
tying
himselfe
to
a
vow
of
bondage
,
that
we
might
be
made
free
:
he
is
a
Prince
for
euer
,
and
a
Priest
after
the
order
of
Melchisadeck
:
during
the
continuance
of
his
life
in
this
vaile
of
misery
,
his
chiefest
actions
were
to
go
from
place
to
place
,
to
teach
,
to
doe
good
,
and
to
rescue
and
relieue
the
poore
distressed

of
the

,
who
lay
miserably
afflicted
vnder
the
hands
of
Sathan
;
healing
some
,
relieuing
others
,
and
bringing
a
third
sort
into
the
state
of
grace
:
so
that
as
Sampson
deliuered
the
Israelites
from
the
bondage
of
the
Philistins
;
Christ
our
Prince
and
Iudge
deliuereth
his

the
slauerie
of
Sathan
:
by
his
death
sauing
more
soules
,
than

And
therby
pulling
down
the
strong
buildings
(
the
temptations
of
Sathan
)
hath
laid
them
leuel
with
the
ground
,
that
they
shall
neuer
be
restored
againe
.
And
lastly
,
after
this
life
ended
,
he
shall
be
our
Prince
and
Iudge
,
and
bring
vs
to
that
place
of
promise
prepared
for

in
his
euerlasting
kingdome

which
was
the
daughter
of
a
certain
citizen
in
Bethlehem
;
but
a
bond
seruant
not
free
;
such
they
called
concubines
,
because
they
had
neither
the
honor
to

neither
could

inherit

but
because
they
trusted

In
times
past
it
was
a
fruitfull
place
both
of
vines
&
other
fruits
:
there
also
grew
a
kinde
of
balsam
.
But
Cleopatra
in
the
time
of
Mark
Anthony
brought
the
roots
of
it
into

and
there
made
a
pleasant
garden

where
now
Christians
inhabit

There
are
yet
some
small
stalks
here

there
of
this
Balsam
to
be

neither
dwell

that
it
groweth

Engedi
signifieth
the
fountaine
or
well
of
a
Goat
or
Lambe
.
These
mountains
are
very
high
,
and

in

great

Of
Ziph.
THis
was
a
Towne
in
the
Desart
of
Ziph
,
placed
in
a
certaine
mountaine
not
farre
from
Hebron
,
in
the
Tribe
of
Iudah
,
some
22
miles
from
Ierusalem

Vnto
this
desart
(
neere
to
this
city
)
Dauid
oft
times
resorted
,
and
at
last
was
betrayed
by
the
inhabitants
of
this
towne
.
It
seemeth
that
the
Towne
and
Wildernesse
tooke
that
name
of
the
aboundance
of
pitch
that
was
found
in
it
;
for
Zaephaeth
in
Hebrew
signifieth
Pitch
.
Of
Gilboa
.
THis
was
a
mountain
in
the
tribe
of
Manasse
,
neere
to
Sichem
and
Apheck
,
40
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
North
;
it
extendeth
8
miles
to
the
city
Bethsan
,
and
two
miles
towards
the
North
to
mount
Hermon
.
It
seems
to
take
the
name
from
the
bubling
forth
or
springing
vp
of
water
:
for
the
riuer
Kison
begins
at
the
foot
of
this
mountain
,
and
diuides
it self
into
diuers
parts
vntill
it
commeth
to
the
hill
Hermon
,
and
then
it
runs
into
two
principal
streams
,
the
one
passeth
toward
the
East
into
the
sea
of
Galilee
;
the
other
to
the
West
towards
Carmel
,
and
so
into
the
Mediterranian
sea
.
There
be
some
that
are
of
opinion
,
that
neither
raine
nor
dew
falls
vpon
this
hil
,
because
when
Saul
was
slain
Dauid
cursed
these
mountains
,
saying
,
Let
neither
rain
nor
dew
fal
vpon
you
,
ô
yee
mountaines
of
Gilboa
,
because
the
strong
men
of
Israel
were
slaine
there
,
2
Sam.

But
this
was
but
a
figuratiue
speech
,
wherby
Dauid
would
expresse
the
greatnesse
of
his
sorrow
:
for
Borchardus
the
Monke
speaking
of
this
mountain
,
saith
,
That
as
he
was
ascending
vpon
it
,
there
was
such
a
violent
showre
fell
,
that
he
was
wet
through
his
clothes
,
and
the
waters
in
great
aboundance
ran
into
the
vallies
.
And
in
the
yeare
of
our
Lord
1283
,
sleeping
vpon
this
hill
on
the
Eve
of
All
Saints
,
there
was
a
great
dew
fell
vpon
his
clothes
:
onely
some
parts
of
it
were
very
stony
and
barren
,
as
are
many
other
mountains
in
that
country
.
Of

THis

It
seemes
to
take
the
name

a
fountaine

durance
;
for
Dor
signifies

hath
made
sure
.
It
is

In

some
44

It
taketh
the
name
from
a
Church-yard
,
or
a
place
of
rest
:
for
Beth
signifieth
,
a
house
;
and
Iaschan
,
he
hath
slept
.
Here
Saul
killed
himselfe
,
and
the
Philistines
cut
off
his
head
and
set
it
vpon
the
wall
of
this
citie

Afterward
,
about

called
this
Scythopolis

You
may
reade
in

how
it
was
the
towne
of

Scythians
;
for
the
Scythians
which
dwelt
some
800
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
North
,
came
with
a
great
army
into

Holy
land
,
and
by
force
woon
this
citie
,
and
dwelt
there
:

whom
it
was
called
the
Scythian
towne
.
Ioseph

remembreth
a
strange
accident
that
hapned
neere
this
towne
;
for
the
Iewes
besieging
it
,
there
were
of
their
own
nation
that
dwelt
within
the
city
,
who
(
that
they
might
make
a
priuate
gaine
)
took
wages
of
the
Scythians
,
to
oppose
their
brethren
and
countreymen
:
by
which
meanes
the
Scythians
got
the
better
.
But
after
a
while
,
the
Scythians
considering
that
the
number
of
the
Iewes
were
great
,
and
fearing
some
sudden
insurrection
or
innouation
,
gaue
them
warning
to
depart
and
leaue
the
towne
:
they
,
though
with
great
griefe
,
as
being
prest
with
a
two-fold
necessity
,
(
their
owne
wants
and
the
hatred
of
their
kindred
)
did
so
,
relying
meerely
vpon
the
courtesie
of
strangers
.
But
about
some
two
dayes
after
,
in
the
night
time
the
inhabitants
of
Scythopolis
breaking
out
of
the
citie
vnawarres
,
fell
vpon
them
,
and
in
recompence
of
their
kindnesse
put
to
the
sword
some
thirteen
thousand
:
many
slaine
vnawares
,
some
as
they
were
eating
,
and
most
in
their
sleepe
.
After
they
had
committed
this
massacre
,
they
compassed
about
the
wood
where
they
were
,
took
away
all
their
substance
,
and
suffered
not
a
man
to
depart
aliue
.
Wherefore
one
Simon
the
soone
of
a
certaine
ancient
and
noble
Citizen
,
called
Saul
,
perceiuing
their
present
miserie
,
and
that
there
was
no
hope
to
escape
iminent
death
and
vtter
ruine
,
in
a
cruell
and
desperate
maner
,
breakes
out
into
these
words
:
O
miserable
wretch
that
I
am
,
that
against
my
owne
conscience
haue
lift
vp
these
impious
hands
against
my
countrey
,
committing
daily
massacres
to
pleasure
them
,
who
at
this
day
lay
violent
hands
vpon
all
wee
haue
;
die
therefore
,
thou
that
art
thus
profane
,
and
with
thine
owne
hands
make
an
end
of
thy
wretched
life
,
since
thou
doest
not
deserue
to
die
honourably
in
the
face
of
the
enemy
,
but
wretchedly
in
a
corner
,
and
for
thine
owne
offence
.
So
soone
as
he
had
ended
these
words
,
he
turned
him
about
with
a
fierce
countenance
,
and
falling
vpon
his
father
,
mother
,
wife
,
and
children
,
put
them
all
to
the
sword
;
after
,
burnt
his
goods
;
and
to
make
an
end
of
the
tragedy
,
ran
himselfe
vpon
his
owne
weapon
.
These
things
hapned
but
a
little
before
Vespasian
came
into
the
land
of
Iudaea
.
At
this
day
this
Citie
Sythopolis
is
called
after
the
antient
name
Bethsan
.
The

representation
of

if

or
Sepulchre
,
and
sometimes
Hell
;
being
deriued
from
Scheuol
,
which
may
be
taken
for
both
.
As
therefore
Saul
persecuted
innocent
Dauid
,
with
an
inueterate
malice
,
euen
vnto
the
death
;
so
the
sonnes
of
Sathan
(
euil
and
wicked
men
)
persecute
Christ
and
his
members
,
with
an
immoueable
malice
,
sparing
neither
Prophets
nor
Apostles
,
neither
such
as
are
religious
,
no
nor
Christ
himself
;
but
with
cruell
torments
put
them
to
lingering
deaths
,
till
they
be
vtterly
exryrpate
(
as
they
thinke
:
)
and
then
wanting
objects
to
satisfie
their

spirit
which

saw

him
)
he
loued
him
as
he
did
his

soule
,
and
preferred
him
before

,
1

From

he
went
with

to

The
trauels
of
King
Dauid
.
DAuid
was
annointed
King
by
Samuel
,
when
he
was
20
yeres
old
,
Anno
mundi
2881
,
and
before
Christ
1807.
Within
a
while
after
,
he
was
sent
by
his
father
Isay
or
Iesse
,
to
Gibea
,
of
Saul
,
which
was
eight
miles
;
there
he
played
to
Saul
vpon
the
Harpe
,
1
Sam.
16.
When
Saul
went
out
with
his
Armie
against
the
Philistins
,
Dauid
returned
backe
to
Bethlehem
his
owne
countrey
,
which
was
about
eight
miles
.
There
he
fed
his
fathers
sheep
,
1
Sam.
17.
From
thence
he
went
to
Socho
and
Asecha
,
and
killed
Goliah
,
which
was
foure
miles
.
From
thence
he
carried
the
head
of
Goliah
to
Ierusalem
,
which
was
8
miles
.
From
thence
hee
went
with
king
Saul
to
Gibeah
,
which
was
4
miles
.
From
Gibeah
he
went
12
miles
into
the
land
of
the
Philistins
:
and
to
perform
the
promise
which
he
had
made
,
put
to
the
sword
200
of
them
.
From
thence
he
returned
and
brought
their
forskins
vnto
Saul
,
in
recompence
of
which
noble
exploit
he
was
married
to
Sauls
daughter
,
which
was
12
miles
.
A
while
after
he
made
an
incursion
vpon
the
land
of
the
Philistines
,
and
in
a
sharp
and
cruell
war
got
a
famous
victorie
,
and
returned
with
glory
to
Gibeah
,
which
was
at
the
least
24
miles
.
But
when
Dauid
perceiued
that
Saul
went
about
to
take
away
his
life
,
and
that
(
he
was
so
narrowly
pursued
)
he
had
no
way
to
escape
,
but
to
be
let
down
by
a
cord
through
a
window
:
he
made
hast
and
went
from
Gibeah
to
Arimathea
,
where
he
complained
vnto
Samuel
of
the
injuries
of
Saul
,
and
layd
before
him
in
what
a
miserable
condition
he
was
,
and
to
what
straits
brought
.
Wherefore
Samuel
to
comfort
him
brought
him
to
Naioth
;
which
seemeth
to
be
so
called
,
of
the
faire
scituation
and
pleasantnesse
of
the
place
:
for
Mabah
signifies
,
a
laudable
and
comely
place
:
this
was
a
Colledge
of
such
as
were
professors
of
that
sacred
study
of
diuinity
.
Now
Saul
hearing
that
Dauid
was
in
this
place
,
came
with
some
of
his
seruants
on
purpose
to
make
him
captiue
.
But
at
the
sight
of
Samuel
he
began
to
sing
Psalmes
and
Hymnes
after
the
manner
of
the
Prophets
.
From
thence
Dauid
returned
back
vnto
Gibeah
,
some
12
miles
,
where
at
the
stone
of
Ezel
(
not
farre
from
Gibeah
toward
the
South
)
Ionathan
went
to
Dauid
,
&
counselled
him
to
depart
with
all
speed
,
for
that
his
father
meant
euill
towards
him
.
So
they
tooke
leaue
either
of
other
with
teares
,
1
Sam.
20.
Ezel
signifies
an
Angle
,
as
was
a
stone
full
of
angles
or
corners
.
From
thence
he
went
to
Nob
,
which
was
12
miles
.
From
thence
he
went
to
Gath
a
citie
of
the
Philistines
,
where
he
faigned
himselfe
mad
,
because
of
Achis
whom
hee
feared
,
1
Sam.
21.
which
was
24
miles
.
From
thence
hee
went
to
the
caue
of
Odullam
,
which
was
24
miles
,
and
thither
resorted
vnto
him
many
of
his
kindred
,
and
such
as
were
indebted
and
in
danger
,
to
the
number
of
40
persons
.
In
this
place
he
wrote
the
57
and
142
Psalmes
,
as
may
appeare
by
their
titles
.
From
thence
he
went
to
Mizpah
,
in
the
land
of
the
Moabites
,
where
at
this
time
the
King
kept
his
court
;
and
there
he
carefully
commanded
his
friends
and
followers
to
his
safe
protection
,
till
such
time
as
the
fury
of
Saul
was
asswaged
,
1
Sam.
22.
From
thence
by
the
councell
of
the
Prophet
Gad
he
returned
by
the
wildernesse
of
Hareth
,
to
Kegila
,
and
rescued
it
,
40
miles
.
Here
Abiather
the
Priest
came
to
him
,
1
Sam.
23.
From
thence
fearing
the
comming
of
Saul
,
hee
went
into
the
wildernesse
of
Ziph
,
whither
Ionathan
came
to
him
,
1
Sam.
22.
which
was
4
miles
.
From
thence
he
went
to
the
towne
of
Moan
,
which
was
foure
miles
.
From
thence
he
went
to
the
hold
of
Engedi
,
which
were
36
miles
.
From
thence
hee
went
six
miles
to
Carmel
in
Iudaea
,
where
hee
determined
to
haue
destroyed
Nabal
for
his
churlishnesse
,
1
Sam.
25.
From
thence
he
went
to
Hackilah
,
2
miles
.
From
Hackilah
he
went
to
Gath
,
where
Achis
king
of
the
Philistines
kept
his
court
,
which
was
16
miles
.
This
Achis
was
very
courteous
and
bountifull
minded
,
he
entertained
Dauid
,
and
gaue
him
freely
the
city
of
Ziclag
to
inhabit
in
,
1
Sam.
27.
Wherefore
Dauid
went
thence
to
the
towne
of
Ziclag
,
which
was
12
miles
,
1
Sam.
27.
and
there
inhabited
one
yeare
and
seuen
moneths
.
From
thence
Dauid
went
often
towards
the
South
,
and
made
incursions
vpon
the
Amalekites
,
wasting
and
destroying
their
land
which
lay
in
the
Desart
of
Sur
,
about
80
miles
distant
from
Ziclag
,
and
a
hundred
and
twenty
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
South-west
From
the
Desart
of
Sur
he
returned
backe
againe
vnto
Ziclag
which
was
80
miles
,
and
sent
part
of
the
prey
which
he
had
gotten
,
to
the
King
of
the
Philistines
;
of
which
you
may
reade
more
1
Sam.
27.
From
Ziclag
Dauid
went
with
the
army
of
the
Philistines
to
fight
against
Saul
,
88
miles
,
euen
to
Sunem
:
for
the
Philistines
pitched
betweene
Iezreel
and
Sunem
,
1
Sam.
28.29
.
But
because
the
Princes
of
the
Philistines
durst
not
trust
him
,
therefore
by
the
consent
of
Achis
their
King
hee
returned
backe
to
Ziclag
,
88
miles
,
1
Sam.
29.
Whiles
Dauid
was
gone
with
the
Philistines
to
fight
against
Israel
,
the
Amalekites
inuaded
Ziclag
,
tooke
it
and
burnt
it
with
fire
,
and
carried
away
Ahinoam
and
Abigal
(
Dauids
wiues
)
captiues
.
Wherefore
when
Dauid
came
to
Ziclag
and
perceiued
what
had
hapned
,
with
all
speed
pursued
the
enemy
;
and
in
the
way
as
hee
went
he
found
an
Aegyptian
,
who
a
little
before
,
the
Amalekits
had
left
there
,
because
he
was
vnable
to
follow
them
.
This
Aegyptian
guided
Dauid
to
the
tents
of
the
Amalekits
,
who
suspecting
no
such
euill
,
were
making
merry
with
the
booty
that
they
had
taken
.
But
Dauid
with
the
rest
of
his
company
so
manfully
behaued
themselues
,
that
they
gaue
the
Amalekites
a
sudden
ouerthrow
:
and
as
it
often
hapneth
to
such
as
are
negligent
and
carelesse
,
he
tooke
away
from
them
their
former
bootie
,
and
put
most
of
them
to
the
sword
.
This
battell
was
fought
some
8
or
12
miles
from
Ziclag
,
as
by
the
circumstance
of
the
history
may
appeare
.
From
this
slaughter
he
returned
backe
to
Ziclag
,
which
is
12
miles
,
and
repaired
it
;
to
euery
neighbouring
citie
sending
a
part
of
the
prey
.
Here
hee
had
certaine
intelligence
of
the
successe
of
the
Israelites
in
their
wars
against
the
Philistins
,
and
of
the
death
of
Saul
and
Ionathan
,
which
hee
bitterly
lamented
,

These
things
hapned
in
the
10
yeare
after
Samuel
had
annointed
Dauid
King
.
From
Ziclag
he
went
to
Hebron
a
metropolitane
Citie
of
the
tribe
of
Iuda
,
being
a
towne
of
refuge
belonging
to
the
Leuites
,
which
was
16
miles
.
At
this
time
Dauid
was
about
the
age
of
thirtie
yeares
,
and
was
annointed
King
by
the
Tribe
of
Iudah
,
in
the
yeare
of
the
World
2891
,
and
before
Christ
1077.
Here
he
kept
his
Court
seuen
yeares
and
six
moneths
.
From
hence
also
he
sent
messengers
to
Iabes
in
Gilead
,
44
miles
,
to
signifie
his
gracious
acceptance
of
that
fauour
which
they
shewed
vnto
Saul
,
in
burying
of
his
body
there
,
2

From
Hebron
Dauid
went
to
Ierusalem
,
22
miles
,
which
then
was
called
Iebus
,
being
possessed
of
the
Iebusites
;
but
he
woon
it
with
strong
hand
,
and
thrust
them
out
of
it
;
and
in
mount
Sion
set
vp
the
city
Millo
,
which
was
after
called
the
city
of
Dauid
,
and
signifies
,
A
place
of
plenty
.
He
began
his
raigne
in
Ierusalem
in
the
38
yere
of
his
age
,
and
7
of
his
raigne
.
In
this
place
also
he
set
vp
his
house
made
of
Cedar
wood
,
of
which
Hyram
King
of
Tyrus
sent
him
great
plenty
from
Mount
Libanus
,
distant
from
thence
,
104
miles
,
2

From
thence
he
went
to
the
valley
of
Rephaim
,
some
3
miles
from
Ierusalem
in
the
way
that
leadeth
to
the
citie
of
Bethlem
,
where
he
fought
a
memorable
fight
against
the
Philistines
,
and
ouercame
them
;
for
which
cause
it
was
also
called
Baal-Perizim
,
because
by
the
helpe
and
assistance
of
God
he
had
conquered
the
army
of
the
Philistines
,
1
Sam.
5.
After
he
had
dispersed
the
enemies
,
hee
returned
to
Ierusalem
which
is
4
miles
.
The
Philistines
came
the
same
yeare
into
the
valley
of
Rephaim
againe
,
and
pitched
their
tents
within
three
miles
and
a
halfe
of
Ierusalem
:
and
the
Lord
gaue
Dauid
a
signe
,
that
when
he
heard
a
noyse
in
the
mulberry
trees
,
hee
should
set
vpon
the
enemy
;
so
Dauid
went
forth
,
and
close
by
the
towne
of
Gaeba
and
Kiriath-jearim
,
about
two
miles
from
Ierusalem
Westward
,
he
set
vpon
the
enemie
and
gaue
them

From
thence
Dauid
followed
the
enemy
to
Gaza
,
which
was
18

In
the
10
yeare
of
his
raigne
from
his
first
beginning
in
Hebron
.
Dauid
assembled
all
the

of
Nepthalie
,
at
the
foot
of
mount
Libanus
,
euen
163
miles
off
.
These
men
assembled
themselues
in
the
citie
of
Ierusalem
,
and
from
thence
they
with
Dauid
went
to
Kiriath-jearim
,
which
was
about
a
mile
,
to
fetch
the
Arke
of
the
Couenant
from
thence
into
the
city
of
Dauid
.

From
Kiriath-jearim
Dauid
and
all
his
traine
returned
backe
again
to
Ierusalem
,
which
was
about
a
mile
;
and
they
placed
the
Arke
of
the
Lord
in
a
new
cart
,
and
caused
it
to
be
drawne
with
Oxen
,
which
turned
out
of
the
way
to
the
threshing
floure
of
Nachon
,
where
Vza
rashly
and
inconsiderately
touching
the
Arke
of
God
,
contrary
to
the
Diuine
Law
,
was
presently
slaine
by
the
Lord
in
the
way
,
and
that
place
was
called
Paeri-Vza
,
that
is
,
The
breach
of
Vza
.
For
he
was
not
of
the
Tribe
of
Aaron
,
to
whom
it
was
only
lawfull
to
touch
the
Arke
,
&
therfore
the
Lord
strooke
him
that
he
died
miserably
:
wherefore
Dauid
being
terrified
by
this
example
of
Gods
seueritie
,
would
not
that
day
bring
the
ark
of
the
Lord
into
Ierusalem
,
but
carried
it
to
the
house
of
a
certaine
Nobleman
called
Obed-Aedom
a
Gittite
,
who
dwelt
not
far
from
Ierusalem
;
but
when
it
was
told
Dauid
,
that
the
Lord
blessed
the
house
of
Obed-Aedom
and
all
his
family
,
because
the
arke
was
there
;
Dauid
went
from
Ierusalem
with
a
great
multitude
of
people
,
to
the
house
of
Obed-Aedom
,
who
(
as
is
said
before
)
dwelt
not
farre
from
Ierusalem
,
(
yet
there
are
some
that
say
he
was
an
excellent
musitian
in
Ierusalem
,
and
dwelt
in
Mount
Acra
,
that
is
in
the
lower
citie
)
and
from
thence
Dauid
fetcht
the
Arke
of
the
Lord
into
the
vpper
citie
,
which
stood
vpon
mount
Sion
;
but
I
hold
the
other
opinion
to
be
the
more
probable
.
When
the
Arke
was
carried
by
the
Priests
,
Dauid
girt
himself
with
a
linnen
Ephod
,
(
which
kinde
of
garment
the
Priests
of
the
inferior
order
vsed
to
weare
)
and
danced
before
it
,
singing
Psalms
and
hymnes
to
the
praise
and
glory
of
God
,
and
with
great
state
brought
it
to
the
citie
of
Ierusalem
with
the
sound
of
Trumpets
and
instruments
of
musick
,
and
placed
it
in
the
middle
of
the
Tabernacle
,
which
they
had
curiously
erected
in
Mount
Sion
in
the
vpper
citie
,
which
was
also
called
the
citie
of
Dauid
.
This
hapned
in
the
tenth
yere
of
his
raigne
;
at
which
time
,
Michal
,
Sauls
daughter
despised
him
in
her
heart
,
and
laughed
at
him
:
but
God
gaue
her
a
due
recompence
,
as
you
may
reade
,
2
Sam.

and
him
a
just
reward
;
for
he
promised
by
the
Prophet
Nathan
,
That
of
his
posteritie
and
bloud
,
the
King
of
Kings
,
and
Sauiour
of
the
world
should
be
borne
.
In
the
yere
following
,
Dauid
inuaded
the
land
of
the
Philistins
;
and
the
citie
of
Gath
,
which
with
strong
hand
he
woon
:
this
was
34
miles
from
Ierusalem
.
From
thence
he
returned
backe
to
Ierusalem
,
34
miles
.
In
the
twelfth
yere
of
his
raigne
he
afflicted
the
Moabits
with
cruel
war
,
and
destroyed
two
of
their
armies
with
the
sword
,
and
the
rest
of
the
multitude
made
tributarie
;
which
was
24
miles
,
2
Sam.
8.
1
Chr.

He
returned
thence
to
Ierusalem
with
great
triumph
and
joy
,
24
miles
.
In
the
13
yeare
of
his
raigne
,
Anno
mundi
,
2903
,
and
before
Christ
,
1065
,
he
made
an
expedition
vnto
Zoba
,
which
Iosephus
calleth
Sophenam
,
and
is
in
Armenia
,
neere
to
Masia
or
Mount
Taurus
,
600
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
North
,
of
which
you
may
reade
before
.
Dauid
in
this
place
woon
a
memorable
battell
against
Hadad-Ezer
the
King
thereof
,
neere
to
the
riuer
Euphrates
;
he
tooke
700
horse
and
20000
foot
,
burnt
their
chariots
,
tooke
100
castles
,
conquered
all
the
Townes
and
Countrey
round
about
,
and
went
away
with
a
great
bootie
,
as
well
of
Gold
as
siluer
,
brasse
,
and
other
things
;
which
brasse
for
the
excellencie
thereof
was
like
vnto
gold
,
and
(
as
Iosephus
saith
)
afterwards
Solomon
made
the
molten
sea
of
it
.
When
Gadarezer
King
of
the
Syrians
(
he
that
built
that
famous
citie
of
Damascus
)
heard
of
the
ouerthrow
of
Hadad-Ezer
,
hee
sent
a
great
army
to
his
aid
;
which
King
Dauid
neere
to
the
riuer
Euphrates
smote
with
the
sword
,
so
that
20000
of
them
were
slaine
,
and
he
carried
away
a
glorious
victorie
,
extending
his
gouernment
from
Ierusalem
600
miles
towards
the
North
,
that
is
,
into
Armenia
,
and
beyond
the
riuer
Euphrates
,
and
made
these
two
nations
tributary
vnto
him
,
2
Sam.

After
Dauid
had
woon
these
2
memorable
victories
neere
Euphrates
,
he
went
thence
with
all
his
army
towards
the
South
,
and
inuaded
the
land
of
Syria
;
in
which
journey
Ioram
the
sonne
of
Tohi
King
of
Antiochia
(
which
citie
at
this
time
was
called
Hemath
)
met
Dauid
with
gifts
and
presents
in
the
name
of
his
Father
,
returning
him
many
thankes
because
he
had
destroied
the
common
enemy
Hadad-Ezer
,
and
by
strong
hand
subdued
and
quelled
the
furie
of
that
mighty
tyrant
,
who
was
also
a
trouble
and
vexation
to
the
Kingdome
of
Antiochia
.
Dauid
entertained
this
message
kindly
,
&
thankfully
receiued
his
gifts
,
(
which
was
of
gold
,
siluer
and
fine
brasse
)
and
so
gaue
Ioram
an
acceptable
dispatch
,
and
from
thence
with
his
army
went
to
Damascus
,
the
Metropolitan
citie
of
Syria
,
where
in
the
valley
of
salt
he
got
a
great
victory
,
in
which
18000
Syrians
were
slaine
,
and
soon
after
the
Citie
of
Damascus
taken
;
in
which
Dauid
placed
a
garrison
,
and
compelled
them
to
pay
tribute
,
2
Sam.
8.
This
was
distant
from
the
kingdome
of
Soba
520
miles
.
From
Damascus
he
went
with
his
army
into
the
land
of
the
Ammonites
,
100
miles
in
the
way
that
leadeth
out
of
Syria
to
Ierusalem
,
all
which
he
conquered
,
and
all
the
cities
and
townes
thereabouts
,
and
compelled
them
to
pay
tribute
,
2
Sam.
8.
From
thence
he
returned
to
Ierusalem
,
which
was
60
miles
,
and
all
the
bootie
that
he
had
gotten
in
his
journey
he
dedicated
vnto
the
Lord
,
2
Sam.
8.
A
while
after
,
hee
with
his
army
made
an
incursion
into
the
land
of
Idumaea
,
and
compelled
the
inhabitants
to
pay
tribute
.
Moreouer
,
he
destroied
the
citie
of
Midian
the
Metropolitane
of
that
countrey
,
of
which
you
may
reade
before
:
it
was
distant
from
Ierusalem
160
miles
towards
the
South
.
So
that
the
extent
of
Dauids
kingdome
from
the
North
to
the
South
,
was
800
miles
,
euen
from
the
kingdome
of
Soba
to
the
Red
sea
:
and
from
the
East
to
the
West
120
miles
;
from
Tyrus
and
Sydon
reaching
to
Damascus
.
Thus
by
the
singular
blessing
of
God
he
obtained
a
spacious
and
powerfull
Empire
,
1
Sam.
8.
1
Reg.

He
made
his
expedition
into
Idumaea
about
the
14
yeare
of
his
raigne
.
From
Midian
in
Idumaea
,
hee
returned
with
great
glory
and
praise
to
Ierusalem
,
which
was
160
miles
.
In
the
14
yere
of
his
raigne
,
and
in
the
yere
of
the
world
2904
,
and
before
Christ
1064
,
Nahas
King
of
the
Ammonites
died
,
and
Haron
his
sonne
succeeded
him
:
this
man
contemptuously
abused
the
messengers
of
Dauid
,
2
Sam.
10.
and
to
justifie
that
injury
he
gathered
an
army
out
of
Soba
,
Siria
,
and
Mesopotamia
,
euen
a
mighty
Host
,
to
oppose
Dauid
;
who
in
the
15
yeare
of
his
gouernment
met
him
with
his
Armie
at
Helam
,
some
twenty
miles
from
Ierusalem
where
he
obtained
a
notable
victorie
,
and
destroied
700
chariots
,
and
40000
horse
,
1
Chr.
20.
Dauid
after
this
,
with
great
applause
of
the
people
was
entertained
into
Ierusalem
,
which
was
20
miles
distant
,
where
being
puft
vp
with
prosperity
,
he
forgat
his
former
pietie
and
sanctitie
,
and
by
degrees
fell
into
vnlawfull
actions
and
vnjust
desires
:
whence
it
hapned
that
soone
after
he
committed
adulterie
with
Bathseba
:
&
after
that
,
to
hide
his
fault
,
caused
her
husband
to
be
slaine
.
This
was
kept
secret
,
till
the
Lord
by
Nathan
sharply
reprehends
him
,
laies
before
him
what
hee
was
and
what
his
present
estate
is
,
from
whence
that
came
,
and
then
concludes
,
that
he
is
most
vnthankfull
,
carelesse
,
and
negligent
towards
God
and
man
,
in
committing
those
insolencies
;
neither
left
he
there
,
but
told
him
that
God
would
seuerely
punish
him
for
his
offence
,
which
after
hapned
as
you
may
reade
,
1
Sa.
11.12.14.17
.
Dauid
being
nipt
in
his
conscience
with
this
sharpe
reprehension
,
fell
into
great
lamentation
,
the
extremitie
of
whose
passions
may
very
well
appeare
in
the
poenitentiall
Psalmes
which
at
this
time
and
soone
after
hee
wrot
,
and
left
to
future
ages
.
After
this
,
about
the
end
of
Summer
he
gathered
an
army
,
and
went
into
the
land
of
the
Ammonites
,
some
64
miles
,
where
hee
took
the
Metropolitan
citie
,
(
which
at
that
time
was
called
Rabba
,
because
of
the
multitude
of
citizens
that
were
in
it
;
but
after
being
restored
by
Ptolomeus
Philadelphus
King
of
Aegypt
,
hee
called
it
after
his
own
,
Philadelphia
)
&
there
took
the
crowne
from
the
head
of
the
king
of
the
Ammonites
,
which
weighed
a

gold
,
being
(
as
Iosephus
saith
)
richly
adorned
with
faire
Sardonicke
stones
,
of
which
you
may
reade
in
2
Sam.

From
thence
he
returned
back
to
Ierusalem
,
which
is
64
miles
,
where
hee
married
Bathseba
,
and
by
her
had
foure
sonnes
,
Simeon
,
Sobab
,
Nathan
,
and
Solomon
,
1
Chr.

Soone
after
this
,
Ammon
defloured
his
sister
Thamar
:
not
long
after
that
,
his
son
Absalon
killed
his
brother
Ammon
,
beeing
then
about
18
yeares
of
age
;
which
Dauid
tooke
so
hainously
,
that
he
would
not
suffer
him
to
come
into
his
sight
for
three
yeares
,
1
Sam.
13.
Then
Ioab
by
the
subtiltie
of
the
woman
of
Tekoa
,
reconciled
him
to
the
king
his
father
:
yet
neuerthelesse
,
he
came
not
to
his
court
of
two
yeares
after
.
This
Absolon
was
a
goodly
man
,
affable
,
for
which
cause
enen
at
that
time
the
people
began
to
affect
him
.
Afterward
in
the
yeare
of
the
world
2950
,
and
before
Christ
1408
,
Absolon
being
then
about
25
yeares
of
age
,
moued
sedition
against
his
father
.
A
matter
remarkeable
,
that
although
he
had
slaine
his
owne
brother
,
being
disgraced
and
absent
from
the
Court
almost
fiue
yeres
,
yet
within
short
time
after
,
he
so
strongly
vnited
the
affection
of
the
people
to
him
,
that
he
constrained
Dauid
(
standing
in
feare
of
his
greatnesse
,
all
his
former
acts
and
worthy
victories
notwithstanding
)
to
forsake
his
owne
citie
,
and
for
safety
to
fly
to
the
mount
of
Oliues
,
beeing
three
quarters
of
a
mile
from
the
citie
.
There
he
staied
a
while
to
see
the
condition
of
the
tumult
,
but
necessitie
constrained
him
to
take
his
way
to
Bahuzim
.
And
as
he
was
going
,
Zimri
the
sonne
of
Gesa
of
the
house
of
Saul
,
cursed
him
,
euery
mans
enemy
then
making
himselfe
apparant
when
he
is
in
aduersitie
,
and
his
best
friends
commonly
forsake
him
.
From
thence
hee
went
to
Iordan
,
14
miles
,
where
the
Priests
Ionathan
and
Ahinaaz
brought
him
certaine
intelligence
of
that
wicked
and
peruerse
councell
of
Achitophel
,
a
man
in
those
times
famous
for
his
wisdome
,
but
perfidious
in
his
actions
,
as
commonly
such
are
that
hope
after
honours
,
or
seeke
to
benefit
themselues
by
innouation
and
change
.
After
he
had
intelligence
hereof
,
hee
went
ouer
Iordan
with
those
few
men
that
he
had
,
&
with
all
possible
speed
went
to
Bethabara
,
some
16
miles
from
Ierusalem
toward
the
North-East
.
At
this
place
Ioshuah
led
the
children
of
Israel
through
Iordan
on
drie
ground
,
Ios.
3.4
.
and
here
Iohn
the
Baptist
taught
,
and
baptised
Christ
.
Mat.
1.
&
Luke
3.
From
thence
hee
went
to
Makanaim
,
which
is
twentie
eight
miles
,
where
hee
sent
forth
his
army
by
bands
against
Absolon
,
who
at
this
time
had
assembled
a
great
host
neere
the
Wood
Ephraim
,
not
far
from
that
place
where
Ioshuah
woon
a
memorable
battell
against
the
Canaanites
:
and
that
the
place
might
bee
made
more
famous
,
Dauids
men
,
though
few
in
number
,
gaue
Absalon
and
his
host
as
great
.
Thus
Absalon
being
left
in
danger
,
to
saue
himself
fled
:
but
in
his
flight
the
haire
of
his
head
being
long
,
and
blowne
with
the
wind
,
tooke
hold
of
the
branch
of
a
tree
,
by
which
he
hanged
betweene
heauen
and
earth
,
as
vnworthy
of
either
:
and
Ioab
,
who
but
a
little
before
was
his
friend
,
in
that
very
place
with
three
darts
put
him
to
death
,
a
just
end
for
so
vnjust
a
man
.
1
Sam.

Dauid
notwithstanding
tooke
the
death
of
Absolon
maruellous
heauily
,
till
by
Ioab
he
was
recalled
from
that
griefe
;
and
then
in
the
company
of
Barzillai
,
and
of
his
sonne
Chimea
,
of
Mephiboseth
the
sonne
of
Ionathan
,
and
Zeba
his
seruant
,
Shimei
also
that
before
curst
him
,
(
who

leaue
a
memorable
token
of
a
base
Sicophant
)
after
this

Of
Dauids
name
.
DAuid
is
as
much
to
say
as
,
my
deere
,
my
beloued
,
my
chosen
one
:
being
deriued
of
Dod
,
which
signifies
,
a
friend
,
or
beloued
.
For
which
cause
,
he
was
said
to
be
a
man
after
Gods
owne
heart
.
How
Dauid
was
a
type
of
Christ
.
DAuid
represented
Christ
diuers
waies
,
First
,
in
his
name
,
(
he
was
beloued
)
so
God
testifies
of
Christ
,
This
is
my
beloued
sonne
in
whom
I
am
well
pleased
.
Secondly
,
in
the
place
of
his
birth
,
he
was
borne
at
Bethlem
,
so
was
Christ
.
Thirdly
,
in
his
imployment
,
he
was
a
shepheard
;
so
was
Christ
:
I
am
the
true
Shepheard
;
for
a
good
Shepheard
giueth
his
life
for
his
Sheepe
,
&c.
Fourthly
,
in
his
musicke
;
Dauid
was
cunning
vpon
the
harp
,
and
by
that
comforted
the
afflicted
spirit
of
Saul
:
so
Christ
by
the
musick
and
harmonie
of
his
doctrine
(
the
glad
tydings
of
saluation
)
comforteth
the
afflicted
members
of
his
Church
.
Fiftly
,
Dauid
got
his
glory
and
preferment
by
the
death
of
Goliah
:
so
Christ
was
glorified
by
conquering
Death
and
the
Diuell
.
Sixtly
,
Dauid
was
persecuted
by
Saul
,
and
pursued
from
one
place
to
another
,
so
that
he
had
not
where
to
hide
his
head
with
safety
;
so
Christ
was
persecuted
by
his
own
countrymen
the
Iews
,
shut
out
from
the
society
of
man
;
and
as
he
said
,
Mat.
8.
The
Foxes
haue
holes
,
and
the
Birds
haue
nests
;
but
the
Son
of
man
hath
not
where
to
hide
his
head
.
Seuenthly
,
in
the
dangers
that
Dauid
sustained
,
by
Gods
prouidence
he
was
mercifully
deliuered
:
so
Christ
was
inclosed
and
in
danger
of
the
Iews
at
Nazareth
,
Luke
4.
in
Ierusalem
;
in
the
Temple
also
.
Ioh.
8.
but
he
escaped
them
al
,
because
then
his
time
was
not
come
,
Io.
7.8
.
Eightly
,
as
Absolon
rebelled
against
Dauid
,
being
his
father
;
so
the
Iews
rebelled
against
Christ
,
although
hee
was
their
Creator
:
according
to
that
of
Esay
61.
I
haue
fed
and
brought
vp
children
,
but
they
haue
forsaken
me
.
Ninthly
,
as
Dauid
fled
to
Mount
Olivet
for
refuge
,
being
brought
to
a
streight
;
so
Christ
vpon
Mount
Olivet
(
his
heart
being
prest
with
an
intollerable
agonie
)
fled
to
his
Father
by
praier
,
for
comfort
in
that
extremitie
.
Tenthly
,
as
all
the
friends
and
familiars
of
Dauid
forsooke
him
at
such
time
as
Absolon
rebelled
against
him
,
and
followed
him
with
persecutions
,
mocks
and
taunts
;
so
Christ
at
such
time
as
Iudas
betrayed
him
into
the
hands
of
the
Iewes
,
was
forsaken
of
all
his
followers
,
and
many
of
those
which
a
little
before
he
had
done
good
vnto
,
mocked
and
derided
him
as
he
was
vpon
the
Crosse
.
Lastly
,
as
Dauid
was
restored
,
notwithstanding
the
former
miseries
and
troubles
,
to
his
antient
glory
and
eminencie
;
so
Christ
after
he
had
suffered
the
due
punishment
for
sin
,
death
,
and
(
before
that
)
extteame
miserie
;
yet
at
length
conquered
both
,
and
by
his
diuine
power
restored
himselfe
to
his
former
estate
,
eternall
glory
.

From

visited
those

From

he
went

But
of

by
whose
persuasion
he
began
to
worship
the
gods
of
the
Gentiles
,
which
idolatry
was
euill
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord
.
And
after
he
had
reigned
forty
yeares
(
which
was
about
the
sixtieth

he
died
,

was

The
Typicall
signification
of
Solomon
.
SOLOMON
is
as
much
as
Frederick
in
high-Dutch
,
which
signifieth
a
Peace-maker
;
being
deriued
of
the
Hebrew
word
Schelomoh
,
or
Schalom
,
to
bring
glad
tydings
of
peace
.
Typically
representing
Christ
the
Prince
of
peace
,
who
hath
reconciled
vs
with
his
heauenly
Father
,
and
merited
an
eternall
place
of
peace
and
happinesse
for
all
such
as
trust
in
him
,

And
as
Solomon
built
vp
the
Temple
of
the
Lord
with
great
majestie
and
glorie
;
so
Christ
hath
built
vp
that
heauenly
Temple
the
Church
of
God
,
and
adorned
it
with
the
gifts
and
graces
of
his
holy
Spirit
,
in
this
world
,
that
so
it
might
be
capable
of
eternall
glory
in
the
world
to
come

The
Trauels
of
Solomons
Ships
.
THis
Navy
of
Solomons
went
vnto
Ophir
,
that
is
India
,
which
was
accounted
from
the
Mart
town
4800
miles
.
From
India
they
returned
backe
again
,
4800
miles
:
so
all
their
trauels
were
9600
miles
.
This
journy
was
finished
in
3
yeares
to
and
again
;
so
that
euerie
yeare
they
went
3200
miles
,
and
brought
home
plenty
of
gold
siluer
,
pretious
stones
,
Ebony
,
&c.

all
along

But
more
modern
writers
deriue
it
from
Indus
a
riuer
passing
through
it
.
It
is
a
spatious
and
fruitfull
country
,
pleasant
to
inhabit
;
and
as
Pomponius
saith
,
hath

5000

From

Of
Aethiopia
.
THis
Countrey
by
the
Hebrewes
is
called
Chus
,
of
Chus
the
son
of
Cham
,
who
was
the
son
of
Noah
:
and
after
,
Aethiopia
,
(
ab
astu
torrida
)
because
of
the
great
heate
wherewith
oftentimes
the
habitable
land
and
people
,
as
also
the
wildernesse
were
sorely
scorched
and
burned
:
for
it
is
scituated
in
the
third
part
of
the
world
called
Africa
,
lying
vnder
the
torrid
Zone
,
and
the
Aequator
,
which
two
by
common
experience
are
found
to
bee
extreme
hot
.
Of
Saba
.
SAba
is
a
metropolitan
city
in
Ethiopia
,
lying
beyond
Egypt
,
846
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
South
:
and
tooke
the
name
from
a
certain
pretious
stone
called
Achates
,
wherin
might
plainly
be
discerned
in
certain
distinct
colors
,
the
rising
of
fountains
,
the
chanels
of
riuers
,
high
mountains
,
and
somtimes
of
chariots
and
horses
drawing
them
.
It
is
reported
,
That
Pyrrhus
King
of
the
Epirots
had
one
of
them
,
wherein
was
liuely
represented
the
nine
Muses
,
and
Apollo
playing
on
the
Viol
,
portrayed
by
naturall
staines
and
colours
,
so
artificially
,
as
if
they
had
bin
don
by
some
curious
workman
.
Of
this
stone
you
may
reade
more
in
Pliny
,
li.
37.
ca.
1.10
.
It
was
first
found
in
Achates
a
riuer
of
Sicilia
,
whence
it
tooke
the
name
.
Afterward
in
India
and
Phrygia
,
and
of
the
Hebrewes
was
called
Schaeba
or
Saba
.
In
this
city
that
Queen
dwelt
who
came
to
heare
Solomons
wisedom
,
and
gaue
him
for
a
present
120
talents
of
pure
gold
,
which
at
3
pounds
an
ounce
comes
to
270000
pounds
sterling
.
Afterwards
Cambyses
King
of
Persia
ouercame
it
and
all
the
country
round
about
it
,
and
after
his
sisters
name
called
it
Meroës
.
It
is
a
stately
city
to
this
day
,
scituated
in
a
plain
country
,
and
compassed
about
with
the
riuer
Nilus
like
an
Island
,
being
now
called
Elsaba
,
hauing
some
affinitie
to
the
antient
name
Saba
.
The
Inhabitants
of
this
towne
goe
naked
,
all
but
their
priuy
parts
,
which
they
couer
either
with
Silke
,
Cotton
,
or
some
more
costly
matter
;
and
are
of
a
blacke
colour
,
which
as
some
thinke
,
hapneth
by
reason
of
the
extreme
heat
.
The
land
also
is
maruellously
scortched
,
and
turned
in
many
places
to
sand
and
dust
.
So
that
the
country
is
thereby
wonderfull
barren
.
About
Meroes
or
Saba
,
which
is
made
fruitful
by
the
inundation
of
Nilus
,
there
is
found
plenty
of
salt
,
brasse
,
yron
,
and
some
pretious
stones
.
Their
sheep
,
goats
,
oxen
,
and
other
cattell
are
of
lesse
stature
than
in
other
Countries
.
Their
dogs
are
very
fierce
and
cruell
.
In
times
past
there
were
mighty
princes
that
had
the
gouernement
and
command
of
it
,
and
the
Country
round
about
it
.
But
after
(
as
Pliny
saith
,
lib.
6.
cap.
29.
)
it
was
in
the
jurisdiction
and
gouernment
of
Queenes
,
who
for
their
noble
resolutions
&
courage
were
called
Candaces
.
One
of
which
name
in
Tiberius
the
Emperours
time
was
famous
,
both
for
the
extent
of
her
dominions
(
in
which
she
exceeded
all
the
rest
of
her
predecessors
)
as
also
in
regard
of
her
manly
presence
and
noble
spirit
.
The
Eunuch
which
Philip
baptised
,
Acts
8.
was
Treasurer
or
Chamberlain
to
this
Queene
:
and
it
is
to
be
thought
,
By
him
the
doctrine
of
the
Gospell
of
Christ
was
first
made
knowne
in
Saba
,
and
in
the
countrey
of
Aethiopia
;
which
afterwards
was
more
largely
propagated
and
dispersed
by
the
Evangelist
S.
Mathew
,
who
taught
there
.
This
city
lieth
to
the
longitude
of
61
degrees
and
30
scruples
,
&
in
the
eleuation
of
the
Pole
Artick
to
the
latitude
16
degrees
and
25
scruples
.
So
that
it
seemes
the
inhabitants
haue
two
winters
&
two
summers
,
or
rather
a
continual
summer
,
because
their
winter
is
much
hotter
than
our
summer
.
But
when
the
Sunne
attaineth
to
the
15
degree
of
Taurus
and
Leo
,
and
in
the
Dog
daies
,
it
then
lies
perpendicular
ouer
that
country
,
and
neither
their
bodies
nor
houses
giue
any
shadowes
.
In
the
61
of
Esay
it
is
said
,
They
shall
come
from
Saba
,
and
bring
gold
&
frankincense
to
praise
the
Lord
.
From
whence
some
some
haue
concluded
,
That
those
wise
men
which
came
vnto
the
childe
Iesus
,
and
brought
Gold
,
Frankincense
,
and
Myrrh
,
were
Aethiopians
,
and
came
thence
.
But
this
agreeth
not
well
with
the
words
of
Mathew
,
ca.
2.
where
it
is
written
,
That
the
wise
men
came
out
of
the
East
,
that
is
,
from
the
rising
of
the
Sun
,
to
Ierusalem
.
For
Saba
,
according
to
our
Sauiors
words
,
Mat.
12.
lieth
towards
the
South
;
for
he
saith
,
The
Queen
of
the
South
(
that
is
,
of
Saba
)
shall
come
forth
in
the
day
of
Iudgement
against
this
generation
,
and
condemne
it
,
for
she
came
from
the
end
of
the
world
to
heare
the
wisedome
of
Solomon
,
&c.
But
if
Saba
lie
vpon
the
South
,
as
here
it
plainely
appeareth
,
then
it
must
needs
follow
they
came
not
thence
,
but
rather
from
Persia
,
which
from
Ierusalem
lies
Eastward
.
For
at
Susa
the
metropolis
of
that
country
,
there
was
an
Academy
for
the
whole
kingdom
;
in
which
were
chiefly
studied
Diuinity
,
the
Mathematickes
,
and
History
.
So
that
it
is
likely
,
by
their
Art
they
might
attain
to
the
knowledge
of
this
diuine
Mysterie
,
and
from
thence
come
to
Ierusalem
,
which
was
520
miles
Eastward
.
Therfore
this
place
of
the
Prophet
Esay
is
rather
to
be
referred
to
the
propagation
of
the
church
through
the
whole
world
,
where
some
of
euery
nation
shall
bring
presents
vnto
the
Lord
.
There
is
also
another
Saba
in
Arabia
Foelix
,
so
called
from
Zaeba
the
son
of
Chus
,
the
son
of
Cham
,
the
sonne
of
Noah
;
and
it
is
distant
from
Ierusalem
1248
miles
toward
the
Southeast
.
In
Hebrew
it
signifies
the
city
of
Drunkennesse
,
or
of
Mirth
;
but
with
the
Syrians
,
Antiquitie
.
Some
would
haue
it
in
the
Arabian
tongue
to
signifie
a
Mysterie
.
But
S.
Ierom
interprets
it
,
To
sound
their
conuersion
.
It
is
the
metropolitan
City
of
Arabia
Foelix
,
and
by
Strabo
,
lib.
6.
called
Meriaba
,
being
scituated
in
a
high
and
pleasant
mountain
full
of
fruitfull
trees
.
There
inhabiteth
in
it
the
King
of
that
countrey
(
a
mightie
Prince
)
his
Gouernors
,
and
most
of
such
as
haue
authority
vnder
him
.
The
land
is
called
the
Kingdome
of
the
Sabaeans
,
but
generally
,
Arabia
Foelix
,
because
of
the
fertilitie
of
the
place
;
for
it
yeeldeth
twice
euery
yeare
great
plenty
of
Frankincense
,
Myrrh
,
Cinnamon
,
Balsam
,
and
other
odoriferous
herbs
.
The
tree
out
of
which
this
Myrrh
commeth
is
fiue
cubits
high
,
hairy
,
and
full
of
prickles
,
and
when
you
cut
the
barke
there
commeth
forth
a
bitter
gumme
,
wherewith
if
you
anoint
a
dead
body
,
it
will
continue
long
without
rotting
.
The
frankincense
also
that
is
found
there
,
droppeth
from
Cedar
trees
like
a
glewie
substance
,
and
so
congealeth
into
a
Gum.
This
happeneth
twice
euery
yeare
,
and
according
vnto
the
season
it
changeth
colour
:
in
the
Spring
it
is
red
,
in
the
Summer
white
.
This
is
the
best
Frankincense
in
all
Arabia
Foelix
.
Through
the
whole
country
there
is
a
very
delectable
smell
,
by
reason
of
the
Myrrh
,
Frankincense
and
Cinnamon
that
is
found
in
it
;
insomuch
that
if
the
winde
blowes
amongst
the
trees
it
carrieth
the
smell
vnto
the
red
sea
,
and
they
that
saile
can
easily
discerne
the
sweetnesse
of
the
aire
.
There
is
gold
also
found
there
,
very
fine
and
pure
,
insomuch
as
for
the
goodnesse
of
it
,
it
is
called
Arabian
gold
.
The
Phoenix
is
found
there
,
of
which
there
is
but
one
in
the
world
.
Pliny
,
lib.
9.
cap.
35.
describes
her
to
be
as
big
as
an
Eagle
,
with
a
list
of
feathers
like
gold
about
her
necke
,
the
rest
are
of
a
purple
colour
;
therefore
from
Phoenicea
and
the
purple
colour
of
her
wings
shee
is
called
Phoenix
.
Shee
hath
a
tuft
of
feathers
vpon
her
head
like
vnto
a
crowne
.
Shee
liueth
660
yeares
,
at
the
end
of
which
time
she
buildeth
her
a
nest
of
Cassia
,
Cinnamon
,
Calamus
,
and
other
pretious
Gummes
and
herbs
,
which
the
Sun
by
the
extremitie
of
the
heate
and
the
wauing
of
her
wings
fires
;
and
she
taking
delight
in
the
sweetnesse
of
the
sauor
,
houers
so
long
ouer
it
,
that
she
burnes
her selfe
in
her
owne
nest
.
Within
a
while
after
,
out
of
the
marrow
of
her
bones
,
and
the
ashes
of
her
body
,
there
groweth
a
worme
,
which
by
little
and
little
increaseth
to
some
bignesse
,
and
after
to
a
purple
bird
.
Then
her
wings
extend
themselues
to
a
full
greatnesse
,
till
such
time
as
she
commeth
to
be
a
perfect
Phoenix
.
This
Bird
doth
liuely
represent
our
Sauiour
Christ
,
who
only
and
alone
is
the
true
Messiah
,
and
through
whom
we
must
expect
euerlasting
life
,
who
in
the
fulnesse
of
time
offered
himself
a
Sacrifice
vpon
the
Crosse
,
sustaining
the
punishment
for
sin
at
the
time
of
his
Passion
,
putting
on
a
purple
robe
,
being
all
be
sprinkled
with
his
owne
bloud
,
Ioh.
19.
And
as
the
Phoenix
is
burnt
in
her
owne
nest
,
so
likewise
was
hee
consumed
in
the
fire
of
Gods
wrath
,
according
to
that
in
the
22
Psal.
My
heart
is
become
like
melting
wax
in
the
middest
of
my
body
.
And
as
the
Phoenix
of
it selfe
begetteth
another
of
the
same
kinde
;
so
Christ
by
the
power
of
his
Deitie
raised
vp
his
body
from
the
dust
of
the
earth
,
and
ascended
vp
into
heauen
a
glorious
body
,
to
sit
at
the
right
hand
of
his
father
in
that
euerlasting
Kingdome
of
glory
.
Thus
(
gentle
Reader

I
thought
fit

you
these

townes

Scripture

the
one
being

Aethiopia
towards

South
,
the
other
in
Arabia
Foelix
,
and
called
Seba
)
you
might
discerne
the
one
from
the
other
:
of
both
which
there
is
mention
in
the
72
Psalme
,
The
Kings
of
the
Sea
and
of
the
Isles
shall
bring
presents
;
the
Kings
of
Saba
,
and
Seba
,
shall
giue
gifts

who
in
loue
of
his
daughter
(
after
her
name
)
called
it
Memphis
.
You
may
reade
of
it
in
the
ninth
of
Hosea
,
called
there
by
the
name
of
Moph
;
for
thus
he
saith
,
The
people
of
Israel
are
gone
out
of
the
land
of
Ephraim
,
because
of
their
Idolatrie
,
into
Aegypt
:
but
Aegypt
shall
gather
them
vp
,
&
Moph
(
that
is
,
Memphis
)
shall
bury
them
.
Moph
,
or
Mapheth
in
this
place
signifieth
,
A
prodigious
wonder
:
but
the
rest
of
the
Prophets
call
it
Noph
,
for
the
fertilitie
&
pleasantnes
of
the

in
which
places
you
may
find
it
called
after
this
name
.
Zoan
is
the
citie
Tanis
,
where
Moses
wrought
all
his
miracles
:
But
Noph
,
or
Moph
,
is
this
Memphis
;
a
beautifull
towne
,
large
and
spacious
,
scituated
in
the
strongest
and
profitablest
place
in
Aegypt
;
diuided
into
two
parts
by
the
riuer
Nilus
,
so
that
any
kind
of
commodities
or
merchandise
might
with
ease
bee
brouht
thither
by
water
:
for
which
cause
the
kings
of
that
countrie
(
for
the
most
part
)
kept
their
abiding
there
.
Strabo
saith
lib.
17.
That
vpon
the
East
part
of
this
citie
there
standeth
a
Tower
or
Castle
called
Babylon
,
built
by
certaine
Babylonians
,
who
leauing
their
owne
countrey
,
by
the
permissions
of
the
kings
of
Egipt
dwelt
there
:
in
after
times
there
was
placed
a
garrison
in
it
,
one
of
the
three
which
were
for
the
defence
of
Aegypt
,
and
by
Ptolomy
was
called
Babilon
,
through
both
which
,
viz.
Memphis
and
Babilon
,
Nilus
passed
;
the
one
standing
vpon
the
East
side
,
the
other
vpon
the
West
.
Zoan
or
Tanis
stood
about
some
foure
miles
from
this
towne
,
and
was
a
faire
&
spacious
citie
also
,
scituated
towards
the
South
vpon
the
East
side
of
Nilus
,
to
which
the
kings
of
that
country
often
resorted
,
and
Heliopolis
,
anothet
faire
citie
,
stood
some
six
miles
off
that
towards
the
Northeast
.
All
these
foure
townes
were
so
wonderfully
inhabited
(
by
reason
of
their
pleasant
&
profitable
scituation
)
that
in
processe
of
time
they
become
all
one
citie
;
and
in
this
age
is
called
Alcaire
,
containing
in
circuit
60
miles
:
so
that
it
seemeth
to
spectators
to
be
like
a
country
replenished
with
nothing
but
fair
houses
,
goodly
churches
,
&
strong
towers
;
exceeding
all
the
rest
of
the
cities
of
Egypt
,
aswell
for
the
beautifulnesse
of
the
place
,
as
the
extent
and
largenesse
of
it
.
It
is
reported
,
that
in
the
yeare
of
our
Lord
1476
,
there
was
such
an
extreme
pestilence
in
it
,
that
there
died
20000
a
day
,
from
whence
may
be
gathered
,
how
infinitely
it
is
peopled
.
Neere
to
this
towne
stood
the
Pyramides
,
which
are
held
to
he
one
of
the
wonders
of
the
World
(
as
Strabo
saith
,
lib.
17.
)
the
height
of
one
of
them
was
625
foot
,
and
square
on
each
side
883
foot
;
it
was
twentie
yeares
a
building
,
a
hundred
thousand
workemen
emploied
about
it
:
whence
it
may
be
easily
gathered
,
how
hard
and
difficult
it
was
in
those
times
to
get
stone
(
it
being
for
the
most
part
brought
from
Arabia
)
and
at
what
an
excessiue
charge
they
were
that
set
vp
them
.
Of
Gazar
.
This
Citie
is
described
in
the
Trauels
of
Solomon
.
The
Trauels
of
Hadad
King
of
Idumaea
.
WHen
Dauid
conquered
Idumaea
,
Hadad
the
King
of
that
country
with
some
few
of
his
courtiers
,
being
then
but
young
,
fled
from
Midian
to
Paran
the
Metropolitan
Citie
of
Arabia
Petraea
,
which
was
84
miles
,
1
Reg.
11.
But
because
he
thought
himselfe
scarce
safe
in
that
place
,
he
fled
thence
to
Cheopes
,
that
impious
and
tyrannicall
King
of
Aegypt
that
built
the
greatest
of
the
three
Pyramides
at
Memphis
.
He
(
hating
King
Dauid
)
gaue
him
kinde
entertainment
,
assigned
him
a
part
of
the
Kingdome
of
Aegypt
to
dwell
in
,
and
after
married
him
with
his
sister
Tachpenes
,
by
whom
he
had
a
sonne
called
Genubath
,
who
was
brought
vp
in
Pharaohs
,
or
King
Chopes
court
,
where
he
continued
all
the
life
of
Dauid
,
being
27
yeares
;
which
was
120
miles
.
Dauid
being
dead
,
he
returned
into
his
own
kingdome
of
Idumaea
,
which
was
200
miles
.
From
thence
hee
went
to
Damascus
,
which
was
240
miles
,
where
he
was
created
King
of
the
Syrians
by
Reson
and
other
fugitiues
,
which
had
conspired
against
Solomon
,
by
which
meanes
he
grieuously
troubled
that
Kingdome
,
and
became
an
vtter
enemie
to
the
Israelites
all
the
life
of
Solomon
.
And
of
him
is
the
originall
and
stocke
of
the
Kings
of
Syria
.
So
all
the
trauels
of
Hadad
were
644
miles
.
Of
Midian
and
Paran
you
may
reade
before
:
in
the
one
dwelt
Iethro

Moses
father

Reson
his

and
fled
from
him
to
Damascus
,
which
was
120
miles
,
and
besieged
it
:
the
Citizens
whereof
(
when
neither
Dauid
nor
Solomon
could
suppresse
his
rebellion
)
entertained
him
for
their
King
,
which
principalitie
he
held
.
The
Trauels
of
the
Kings
of
Israel
;
and
first
of
IEROBOAM
.
THis
man
was
the
sonne
of
Nebat
,
and
borne
at
a
towne
called
Zared
,
not
far
from
Bethlehem
Ephrata
;
some
eight
miles
from
Ierusalem
:
from
whence
hee
came
to
Solomon
,
who
made
him
captaine
,
that
he
might
collect
the
tribute
of
Manasses
and
Ephraim
,
1
Reg.
11.
which
was
eight
miles
.
From
Ierusalem
as
he
went
to
Shilo
(
which
was
foure
miles
)
he
met
the
Prophet
Ahijah
the
Shilonite
,
who
told
him
that
he
should
be
King
of
Israel
,
1
Reg.
11.
From
thence
he
went
to
Memphis
in
Aegipt
,
which
was
224
miles
,
(
because
Solomon
sought
his
life
)
where
he
remained
with
Sesak
king
of
Aegypt
,
all
the
life
of
Solomon
.
Eusebius
calleth
this
King
Osochores
,
who
that
same
yeare
succeeded
Macrenius
(
Solomons
father
in
law
)
in
that
gouernment
.
From
thence
hee
returned
to
the
towne
of
Sichem
in
Israel
,
which
was
280
miles
,
where
the
Israelites
made
him
chiefe
captaine
,
against
Rehoboam
,
Solomons
sonne
.
Wherefore
Ieroboam
the
sonne
of
Nebat
,
began
to
raigne
ouer
Israel
,
An.
mundi
,
2971
,
and
before
Christ
,
997
,
and
raigned
22
yeares
,
1
Reg.
12.
His
first
seat
was
at
Sichem
,
which
he
repaired
and
enlarged
.
From
Sichem
(
in
the
first
yeare
of
his
raigne
)
hee
went
to
Penuell
,
and
there
set
vp
many
faire
buildings
,
which
was
twelue
miles
,
1
Reg.
12.
From
Penuel
he
went
24
miles
to
the
towne
of
Bethel
,
where
he
caused
a
golden
Calfe
to
be
set
vp
,
for
the
people
to
worship
.
From
thence
he
went
to
Thirza
,
which
is
16
miles
.
This
citie
he
built
,
and
there
kept
his
court
,
1
Reg.
14.
From
thence
he
went
to
the
mount
Zemaraim
,
which
is
mount
Ephraim
,
18
miles
;
where
he
had
a
great
battell
with
Abia
king
of

,
and
lost
500000
of
his
souldiers
,
all
chosen
men
of

Hauing
lost
this
battell
,
with
all
possible
speed
that
he
could
,
went
thence
to
Thirza
,
which
is
18
miles

there
the
Lord
strucke
him
with
a
grieuous
disease
that
hee
died
miserably

So

miles
from

neere
to
the
towne

for
mount

is
diuided
into

It
seemeth
to
take
the
name
of
certaine

Of

THis
was
a
faire
and
beautifull
citie
,
scituated
in
a
high
and
pleasant
mountaine
,
in
the
Tribe
of
Manasses
,
some
twenty
foure
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards

In
this
place
,
the
kings
of
Israel
vsed
to
keep
their
courts
,
vntill
Samaria
was
built
.
It
was
so
called
because
of
the
excellencie
and
delectablenesse
of
the
place
:
for
Thirza
doth
denote
,
An
acceptable

citie
;
being
deriued
of

,
he
receiueth
thankfully
.
Of
the
yeares
of
the
iniquitie
of
Israel
.
THe
yeares
of
the
iniquitie
of
Israel
(
mentioned
in
Ezek.
4.
)
is
to
be
accounted
from
that
day
wherin
Ieroboam
first
erected
the
golden
Calues
:
wherefore
the
greatest
part
of
the
first
yeare
of
the
iniquitie
,
agreeth
with
the
second
yeare
of
Ieroboams
raign
.
From
whence
may
be
gathered
,
that
from
that
time
,
till
the
destruction
of
Ierusalem
by
Nabuchadnezzar
,
were
390
yeares
full
ended
.
Of
Ieroboams
wife
Queene
of
Israel
.
SHee
went
from
Thirzo
to
Zilo
,
which
was
about
24
miles
;
there
she
asked
counsell
of
Ahijam
the
Prophet
,
concerning
her
son
Abia
,
for
he
was
sicke
:
but
he
told
her
heauie
tidings
,
1
Reg.
14.7
.
Wherefore
being
pensiue
and
troubled
in
her
mind
,
she
returned
backe
againe
to
her
husband
to
Thirzo
,
which
was
24
miles
,
1
Reg.
14.
So
these
two
journies
were
48
miles
.
The
journey
of
the
man
of
God
which
came
out
of
Iuda
.
THis
man
of
God
(
as
Iosephus
writeth
,
lib.
Ant.
8.
)
came
from
Ierusalem
to
Bethel
,
which
was
eight
miles
;
and
was
called
by
the
name
of
Iadon
,
which
signifieth
,
the
Iudge
of
the
Lord
.
When
he
came
thither
,
he
reproued
Ieroboam
with
an
extraordinary
spirit
:
of
whom
you
may
reade
more
,
1
Reg.
13.
But
being
deceiued
,
as
he
was
returning
a

met
him
in
the
way
,
where
he
was
slaine
,
and
after
buried

The
Trauels

NADAB
,
the
second
King
of
Israel
.
NAdab
,
or
Bonifacias
succeeded
his
father
Ieroboam
in
the
Kingdome
of
Israel
,
and
was
annointed
while
hee
was
yet
liuing
;
a
liberall
and
free-hearted
Prince
.
Hee
began
to
raigne
in
the
second
yeare
of
Asa
King
of
Iuda
,
Anno
mundi
2992
,
and
before
Christ
977.
Hee
raigned
during
the
life
of
his
father
a
yeare
and
somewhat
more
:
but
when
hee
had
raigned
two
yeares
,
hee
went
from
Thirza
with
a
great
army
,
to
the
citie
of
Gibithon
,
which
was
36
miles
:
this
towne
he
besieged
very
straitly
,
but
at
length
was
slaine
by
one
of
his
captaines
called
Baesa
;
so
he
lost
both
his
life
and
kingdome
in
that
place

THis
was

not

The

of

King

.
BAesa
is
as
much
to
say
,
as
,
An
industrous
and
promt
man
in
doing
any
thing
.
This
may
hauing
slaine
his
Master
Nadab
neere
vnto
Gibithon
,
vsurped
vpon
the
Kingdome
of
Israel
about
the
end
of
the
third
yearo
of
Asa
King
of
Iuda
,
and
began
his
raigne
Anno
mundi
2992
,
before
Christ
,
974
,
and
raigned
ouer
Israel
almost
24
yeares
,
two
of
which
he
raigned
with
his
sonne
,
1
Reg.
15.
He
went
from
Gibithon
to
Thirza
,
36
miles
,
where
hee
vtterly
rooted
out
the
whole
stocke
and
family
of
Ieroboam
.
After
,
falling
into
Idolatrie
he
was
sharply
reprehended
for
it
by
Iehu
the
Prophet
the
son
of
Hanani
;
of
whom
you
may
reade
more
,
1
Reg.
15.
From
Thirza
he
went
to
Ramah
,
which
is
16
miles
,
this
towne
he
built
and
fortified
it
very
strongly
,
2
Chr.
29.
But
when
he
heard
that
Benhadad
King
of
Syria
had
inuaded
Israel
,
hee
left
his
building
at
Ramah
,
and
with
all
possible
speed
that
hee
could
went
to
Thirza
,
where
hee
died
and
was
buried
,

So
all

he
had

The
Trauels
of
Omri
King
of
Israel
.
OMri
signifieth
,
a
souldier
,
or
one
that
deserueth
his
pay
.
He
was
made
King
by
the
Israelites
in
his
tent
,
while
he
was
at
wars
neere
to
Gibithon
:
from
whence
he
went
to
Thirza
,
which
was
36
miles
,
and
besieged
the
same
vpon
the
very
day
that
Simri
had
put
the
posteritie
of
Baasha
to
the
sword
,
and
took
it
.
He
began
to
raigne
in
Thirza
Anno
mundi
3017
,
and
before
Christ
,
951
,
and
raigned
ouer
Israel
12
yeres
,
the
first
six
of
which
was
in
Thirza
,
the
latter
six
in
Samaria
,
1
Reg.
16.
From
Thirza
he
went
to
mount
Semer
,
six
miles
,
there
Omri
built
Samaria
,
and
made
it
the
seat
of
his
kingdome
.
He
went
thither
about
the
seuenth
yeare
of
his
raigne
,
1
Reg.
16.
So
these
two
journies
were
42
miles
.
Of
Samaria
.
SAmaria
the
chiefe
seat
and
Metropolis
of
Israel
,
was
built
by
Omri
in
mount
Semer
,
32
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
North
,
and
took
that
name
of
Semer
who
was
Lord
of
that
mountaine
,
of
whom
K.
Omri
bought
it
for
two
talents
of
siluer
,
which
amounteth
to
1200
crownes
.
In
this
citie
14
Kings
of
Israel
kept
their
Courts
,
viz.
Omri
who
was
the
first
founder
of
it
,
Ahab
,
Ahasia
,
Iehoram
,
Iehu
,
Ioachas
,
Ioas
,
Ieroboam
,
Zacharias
,
Sallum
,
Menahem
,
Pekahia
,
Pekah
,
and
Hosea
,
who
was
the
last
of
the
Kings
of
Israel
that
raigned
in
this
citie
,
and
lost
it
,
together
with
his
libertie
.
Of
all
these
Kings
there
were
but
fiue
that
died
naturally
,
for
the
Lord
being
moued
to
wrath
by
reason
of
their
impietie
and
idolatrie
,
either
gaue
them
vp
into
the
hands
of
forrein
enemies
,
or
by
ciuill
war
amongst
themselues
they
cruelly
murthered
one
another
,
vntill
such
time
as
the
Assirians
destroied
the
land
,
and
led
the
people
captiue
.
Thus
the
Lord
punished
with
a
sharp
and
seuere
punishment
,
this
obstinat
nation
,
because
they
contemned
the
admonitions
and
doctrines
of
the
Prophets
,
amongst
which
Elias
and
Elizeus
were
the
chiefe
.
So
that
although
Samaria
was
a
faire
and
beautifull
city
,
and
the
country
for
that
cause
was
called
the
prouince
of
Samaria
;
yet
notwithstanding
,
that
great
God
the
Iudge
of
all
things
,
for
the
iniquitie
of
the
people
caused
this
faire
Citie
to
be
left
desolate
,
the
inhabitants
of
the
land
to
be
dispersed
,
and
the
earth
for
want
of
due
vsage
to
lie
as
a
wildernesse
,

This
city

according
to

the
Priests

From

how
Elias
had
put
the

the
sword
,

From

he
went
againe
to
Samaria

where
being
prest
with
a
hard
siege
by
Benhadad
King
of
Syria
,
he
broke
out
of
the
citie
for
his
better
safety
,
and
by
Gods
great
prouidence
and
assistance
he
assailed
the
Syrians
,
put
a
great
multitude
of
them
to
the
sword
,
the
rest
fled
,
and
hee
went
away
with
a
noble
victory
,
as
the
Prophet
of
the
Lord
had
formerly
told
him
,
1
Reg.
20.
From
Samaria
he
went
with
his
army
to
Napheck
,
which
was
14
miles
,
where
he
renewed
a
second
battell
,
and
therein
had
good
successe
,
so
that
hee
tooke
Benhadad
aliue
,
and
put
to
the
sword
,
100000
Syrians
.
In
this
place
the
Prophet
of
the
Lord
reproued
him
for
his
ingratitude
and
obstinacie
;
wherefore
Ahab
being
angry
,
he
went
from
Apheck
to
Samaria
,
which
was
eight
miles

From

Vineyard
,

From

he
went
to
Ramoth
Giliad

24
miles
;
and
there
in
a
fight
that
hee
had
against
the
Syrians
was
so
sore-wounded
with
an
arrow
,
that
hee
was
constrained

And

about

There
he
told
Iosaphat
how
the

had
rebelled
against
him
,
therefore
desired
him
to
goe
along
with

Then
Iehoram

compassed
about
through
the

so
that
they
and

for

,
had
almost
perished
:
but
at
the
prayers
of
the
Prophet

they
were
miraculously
preserued

,
returned
backe
to
Samaria

which
was
104

where
within
a

he
was
so
sorely
besieged
by

that

From

which
was

The

IEHV

From

where
in

he
killed
Iehoram

And
when
he
came
to

he
caused
Iezabel
to
be

whom
he
trampled
vnder
his
horse
feet
:
And
after
in

place
shee
was
eaten
vp
with

Then
hee
sent
messengers
to

commanding
the
Samaritans
,
that
they
should
put

death
the
70

which
they
immediately
did
,
and
sent
their
heads

him
in

2

From
Iezreel
he
went
to
Samaria
,
which
is
16

In
that
journey
he
caused
to
be

neere
to
the

And
when

he
caused

So
all

miles
.
From
Bethsemes
,
hee
went
to
Ierusalem
,
and
carried
the
King
thereof
with
him
captiue
,
which
was
4
miles
.
He
woon
the

,
and
broke
downe
the
Walls
of
it
,
from

of

From
the
Citie
of
Ierusalem
,
Ioas
the
conquerer
returned
to
Samaria
,
with
the
spoile
of
the
temple
,
and
of
the
Kings
house
,
with
many
captiues
,
and
a
great
prey
,
which
was
32
miles
:
where
at
the
end
of
the
seuenteenth
yeare
of
his
raigne
,
he
died
,
and
was
buried
.
In
this
mans
time
,
Elisha
the
Prophet
died
,

So
all
the
trauels
of
Ioas
were
96
miles
.
Of
Bethsemes
.
Of
this
Citie
you
may
reade
before
.
The
Trauels
of
Ieroboam
the
second
of
that
name
King
of
Israel
.
THis
Ieroboam
succeeded
his
father
Ioas
in
the
Kingdome
of
Israel
,
and
began
his
raigne
Anno
mundi
,
3123
,
and
before
Christ
,
845
,
which
according
to
the
text
of
the
Bible
,
happened
about
the
15
yeare
of
Amasia
King
of
Iuda
,
and
hee
raigned
41
yeares
,
2
Reg.
14.
He
kept
his
court
at
Samaria
,
where
the
Prophet
Ionas
told
him
,
that
he
should
recouer
not
only
the
townes
and
cities
of
the
land
of
Israel
that
had
beene
lost
,
but
also
the
cities
of
Hemeth
and
Damascus
:
Wherefore
he
gathered
a
great
army
out
of
the
citie
of
Samaria
,
and
went
thence
vnto
Hemeth
or
Antiochia
in
Syria
,
which
was
248
miles
.
This
Citie
he
conquered
,
and
all
the
countrey
thereabout
;
so
that
he
recouered
all
the
ancient
Townes
and
Cities
that
belonged
to
Dauid
and
Saul
,
euen
from
Hemeth
in
Syria
,
to
Soba
in
Armenia
,
with
all
the
Cities
,
Townes
,
Castles
,
and
Countries
,
neer
adjoyning
to
them
,
2
Reg.
14.
From
Hemeth
or
Antiochia
,
he
went
to
Damascus
,
which
is
140
miles
.
This
citie
he
also
tooke
,
and
all
the
countrie
of
Syria
round
about
,
he
made
tributary
to
him
,
2
Reg.
14.
From
Damascus
he
went
to
the
Red
sea
,
euen
320
miles
:
and
also
recouered
all
the
South
part
,
which
in
times
past
belonged
vnto
the
kingdome
of
Israel
,
2
Reg.
14.
After
this
,
he
returned
to
Samaria
his
owne
countrey
,
which
was
192
miles
:
where
,
in
the
41
yeare
of
his
raigne
,
he
died
,
and
was
there
buried
.
After
his
death
,
the
kingdome
of
Israel
was
oppressed
with
tyranny
,
vntill
it
was
destroied
by
forreine
nations
:
and
for
the
space
of
12
yeares
there
was
no
King
that
succeeded
him
.
In
the
raigne
of
this
king
(
a
little
before
his
death
)
there
hapned
an
horrible
earthquake
;
of
which
you
may
reade
Amos
1.
which
without
doubt
did
foreshew
some
eminent
changes
that
should
happen
in
that
kingdome
,
as
did
afterward
,
Zac.

So
all
the
trauels
of
Ieroboam
,
(
the
second
of
that
name
)
were
900
miles
.
Of
Zachariah
King
of
Israel
.
TWelue
yeares
after
the
death
of
Ieroboam
,
Zachariah
his
son
began
his
raigne
in
Israel
,
in
the
38
yeare
of
Azaria
king
of
Iuda
,
which
was
Anno
mundi
,
3975
,
and
before
Christ
,
793
:
he
raigned
six
moneths
,
and
then
was
miserably
slaine
by

SAllum
began
to
raigne
after
he
had
slaine
Zachariah
,
in
the
39
yeare
of
Azariah
King
of
Iuda
:
and
when
hee
had
raigned
scarce
a
moneth
,
he
was
slaine
by
Menahem
,
losing
his
life
and
kingdome
together
,

The
Trauels
of
Menahem
.
MEnahem
was
borne
in
Thirza
,
in
the
Tribe
of
Iuda
;
who
began
to
raigne
in
the
same
yeare
that
he
slew
Sallum
:
hee
raigned
ten
yeares
,
2
Reg.
10.
From
Thirza
he
went
to
Samaria
with
his
army
,
which
was
six
miles
:
where
(
hauing
slaine
Sallum
his
Lord
and
King
)
he
vsurpt
vpon
the
kingdome
,
2
Reg.
15.
From
thence
he
went
to
Thipsa
;
which
is
six
miles
.
This
towne
he
cruelly
destroied
with
fire
and
sword
,
and
all
the
townes
thereabout
,
because
they
refused
to
open
their
gates
vnto
him
.
From
Thipsa
this
cruell
tyrant
went
backe
again
to
Samaria
,
6
miles
,
where
he
grieuously
afflicted
the
children
of
Israel
tenne
yeares
.
Wherefore
the
Lord
being
offended
with
him
for
his
exceeding
crueltie
,
stirred
vp
Phul
Belochus
King
of
Assyria
,
who
came
from
Babylon
to
Samaria
,
beeing
624
miles
,
and
put
King
Menahem
to
such
an
exceeding
great
streight
,
that
hee
was
constrained
to
buy
and
procure
his
peace
with

which

being

to
enioy
his

,
and
returned
backe
vnto
Babylon
with
all

So
all
the

of

Menahem
were
18

Of

THis
was
a

city
Thirza
,
scituated
in

,
24

Northward
.
But
because
the
inhabitants
thereof
denied
to
open
their
gates
to
this
cruell
tyrant
Menahem
,
therefore
he
vtterly
destroied

The

PEkah
the

began
to
reig●●
in
Samaria
,
Anno

3189
,
and
before

in
the
52

of
Azariah
King
of

,
and
reigned
ouer
Israel
20
yeres
,
2
Reg.
15.

From
the
city
of
Samaria
he
went
with
Resin
King
of
Syria
to
Ierusalem
,
which
was
32
miles
,
and
besieged
it
,
but
could
not
take
it
:
neuerthelesse
he
ouercame
Ahaz
King
of
Iuda
in
a
great
battell
,
and
put
to
the
sword
in
one
day
aboue
12000
souldiers
that
bare
armor
.
In
this
war
were
taken
200000
women
,
children
and
maids
,
all
which
hee
carried
Captiues
to
Samaria
,
2

2

From
Ierusalem
hee
returned
to
Samaria
with
a
great
bootie
,
which
was
32
miles
,
and
at
the
command
of
Obed
the
Prophet
set
at
libertie
all
his
captiues
.
After
,
about
the
end
of
the
20
yeare
of
his
reign
,
he
was
slain
by
Hosea
his
chiefe
captain
,
who
succeeded
him
in

So
all
the
trauels
of

were

Of
HOSEA

HOsea

,
Anno

,
and
before

759.
He
kept
Court
at
Samaria
,
and
was
a
cruell
and
wicked
King
.
Wherefore
God
stirred
vp
Salmanasser
Emperour
of
the
Assyrians
,
who
about
the
end
of
the
7
yeare
of
his
reigne
came
to
Samaria
and
besieged
it
for
the
space
of
3
yeares
:
at
the
end
of
the
third
yeare
with
great
labor
he
won
it
and
all
the
country
round
about
;
so
that
he
tooke
King
Hosea
prisoner
,
and
led
him
together
with
a
great
multitude
of
the
Iewes
(
amongst
which
were
Gabriel
and
Raphel
the
friends
of
Toby
the
elder
)
thence
to
Niniveh
captiues
,
beeing
652
miles
.
From
Niniveh
he
sent
them
to
a
place
called
Rages
in
Medea
,
being
752
miles
,
and
in
that
country
peopled
many
towns
&
cities
with
them
;
so
that
there
were
many
of
the
Israelites
led
into
captiuitie
aboue
1396
miles
,
for
so
many
miles
is
Rages
and
the
Cities

This

of

OF
the
cities

you

and
the
Angell
Gabriel

The
Trauels
of
the
People
which
SALMANASSER
Emperour
of
the
Assyrians
sent
to
dwell
in
the
Land
of
Israel
.
SALMANASSER
after
hee
had
carried
the
Children
of
Israel
away
captiue
into
Assyria
,
sent
(
as
it
is
said
)
part
of
them
into
Media
,
and
part
of
them
into
Persia
,
and
so
dispersed
them
here
and
there
about
the
Countrey
.
But
because
the
Land
of
Israel
by
reason
of
this
captiuitie
became
desolate
and
without
inhabitants
,
therefore
he
caused
those
people
which
dwelt
about
the
riuer
Cutha
in
Persia
,
to
go
thence
and
dwell
in
Samaria
,
and
in
all
the
countrey
round
about
,
to
till
the
land
and
dresse
the
Vines
,
least
some
other
people
that
were
strangers
to
his

should
vsurp
vpon
that
kingdom
,
it
being
thus
without

In
whose
place
,
and
neere
to
the
said
riuer
of
Cutha
,
a
multitude
of
Iewes
with
great
shame
and
griefe
were
constrained
to
dwel
.
He
also
gathered
a
great
multitude
of
other
people
out
of
Babylon
,
Hamath
,
or
Antiochia
,
some
out
of
his
own
dominions
of
Assyria
,
also
out
of
Medea
,
and
the
people
of
Ava
and
Sepharuaijm
;
which
people
are
mentioned
,
Esay

and
sent
them
to
inhabit
in
Samaria
and
all
the
cities
and
countries
round
about
,
because
it
was
a
fertile
and
pleasant
country
,
and
to
defend
it
against
the
incursions
of
strangers
.
From
whence
may
be
gathered
,
that
in
this
behalfe
the
policy
of
this
Emperor
was
much
greater
that
of
the
Romans
,
for
the
retaining
of
this
kingdome
;
but
especially
than
that
of
Titus
Vespasian
;
for
hee
hauing
conquered
the
land
,
wasted
it
and
destroyed
it
with
fire
and
sword
,
put
thence
the
inhabitants
,
and
dispersed
them
heere
and
there
,
left
the
countrey
bare
and
naked
,
onely
a
few
Garrisons
were
placed
in
the
strongest
cities
,
to
keepe
it
to
their
vse
.
Which
not
beeing
able
enough
to
oppose
the
incursions
of
the
Saracens
,
that
in
great
Troupes
brake
out
of
the
Desarts
of
Arabia
Petraea
,
they
soone
lost
all
that
they
had
gotten
;
and
the
Turks
ioining
with
them
,
they
haue
now
gained
into
their
possession
that
pleasant
and
fruitfull
Land
of
Iudaea
,
and
inhabit
therein
euen
to
this
day
,
to
the
great
detriment
and
scandall
of
the
Christians
.
But
to
return
to
the
people
sent
to
inhabit
this
kingdom
,
who
as
they
were
of
diuers
Nations
,
so
were
they
of
diuers
religions
,
and
euery
Family
had
his
particular
god
.
Wherefore
the
Lord
sent
a
multitude
of
Lions
among
them
,
which
daily
vexed
them
:
from
whence
it
hapned
that
Salmanasser
was
constrained
to
send
backe
vnto
them
a
Levite
(
one
of
the
Priests
that
had
bin
caried
away
captiue
)
to
shew
them
the
true
worship
of
God
.
He
came
to
Bethel
,
and
there
taught
them
the
doctrine
of
the
Lord
,
and
the
customes
and
ceremonies
of
the
Mosaical
Law
:
whereby
it
hapned
that
they
began
to
worship
God
and
their
idols
,
in
neither
obseruing
their
antient
custome
.
For
which
cause
they
became
so
abominable
vnto
the
Iewes
,
that
they
refused
their
companie
and
familiaritie
,
(
as
that
Samaritan
woman
confessed
to
Christ
at
Iacobs
Well
,
Ioh.

)
so
that
when
the
Iewes
could
call
a
man
by
any
ignominious
or
odious
name
,
they
would
term
him
a
Samaritan
,
Ioh.

Do
we
not
say
rightly
that
thou
art
a
Samaritane
,
and
hast
a
Diuell
.
But
of
all
the
people
which
Salmanasser
sent
into
the
Holy
land
,
those
that
came
out
of
the
East
part
of
Persia
from
Cutha
(
called
Cutheis
)
dwelt
in
Samaria
,
and
got
the
chief
command
and
gouernment
ouer
the
rest
.
The
Trauels
of
the
Kings
of
Syria
that
made
warre
vpon
the
Kings
of
Israel
.
And
first
of
the
Trauels
or
incursions
of
BENHADAD
.
BEnhadad
King
of
Syria
went
from
Damascus
the
chiefe
city
of
his
kingdome
,
and
came
to
Samaria
and
streightly
besieged
it
in
the
time
of
Ahab
King
of
Israel
,
1
Reg.
20.
being
132
miles
.
From
thence
(
being
ouercome
and
put
to
flight
by
Ahab
)
he
returned
backe
againe
to
Damascus
,
which
was
132
miles
.
The
second
time
he
came
from
thence
,
and
inuaded
the
land
of
Israel
euen
vnto
the
city
of
Apheck
,
124
miles
,
which
hee
besieged
.
But
Ahab
King
of
Israel
ouercame
him
in
a
great
battell
,
and
put
100000
Syrians
to
the
sword
;
and
when
the
rest
of
the
multitude
would
haue
fled
into
the
city
,
the
ruines
of
a
wall
fell
vpon
them
,
so
that
there
died
27000.
This
put
King
Benhadad
into
such
a
feare
,
that
hee
was
constrained
to
fly
from
one
chamber
to
another
to
hide
himselfe
;
but
at
lost
was
taken
,
and
(
not
without
the
great
wrath
and
indignation
of
God
)
by
that
wicked
king
Ahab
pardoned
and
set
at
liberty
,
2
Reg.
20.
Wherefore
he
went
thence
backe
vnto
Damascus
,
which
was
124
miles
.
Within
three
years
after
he
brought
a
great
army
against
Ramoth
in
Gilead
,
which
is
104
miles
from
Damascus
South-eastward
.
Here
he
won
of
Ahab
a
great
battell
,
in
which
Ahab
was
slain
with
an
arrow
,
1
Reg.
22.
From
thence
he
returned
back
to
Damascus
,
which
was
about
104
miles
.
After
that
,
he
came
again
from
Damascus
into
the
land
of
Israel
with
a
great
army
,
120
miles
;
where
he
counselled
with
his
Captains
and
men
of
war
,
saying
,
Here
and
there
will
we
incamp
our selues
.
But
the
Prophet
Elisha
discouered
their
purposes
,
2
Reg.
6.
Out
of
the
land
of
Israel
he
returned
to
Damascus
,
which
was
120
miles
.
From
thence
he
returned
again
with
his
army
to
Samaria
,
being
132
miles
;
which
the
second
time
he
besieged
so
straightly
,
that
an
asses
head
was
worth
80
pieces
of
siluer
.
But
yet
the
Lord
at
the
feruent
prayers
of
Elizeus
the
Prophet
,
strook
such
a
feare
and
anguish
among
the
enemies
,
that
Benhadad
and
his
army
were
constrained
to
fly
,
2
Reg.
6.
Being
sore
troubled
because
he
was
thus
put
to
flight
,
he
went
to
Damascus
,
which
was
132
miles
,
and
there
within
a
while
after
died
of
grief
,
2
Reg.
9.
So
all
the
trauels
of
King
Benhadad
were
1224
miles
.
The
Trauels
of
the
Captaines
which
Benhadad
King
of
Syria
sent
to
waste
and
destroy
the
land
of
Baesa
King
of
Israel
.
THis
army
went
from
Damascus
,
and
came
to
the
towne
of
Hion
,
72
miles
.
From
thence
they
went
to
Dan
,
which
is
4
miles
.
From
Dan
they
went
to
the
city
of
Abel-Bethmaacha
,
twelue
miles
.
From
thence
they
went
to
the
land
of
Chineroth
,
which
was
accounted
8
miles
:
there
they
tooke
certain
cities
of
fruit
,
and
spoiled
and
destroyed
them
.
From
Chineroth
in
the
tribe
of
Nepthali
(
when
they
had
cruelly
wasted
&
destroyed
that
country
)
they
returned
with
a
great
booty
to
Damascus
,
being
88
miles
,
1
Reg.
15.
So
all
their
Trauels
were
184
miles
.

The
Description
of
the
Places
to
which
they
trauelled
.
Hion
and

are
two
towns
neere
to
mount
Libanus
and
the
fountains
of
Iordan
,
some
104
miles
from
Ierusalem
North-Eastward
.
Hion
signifies
A
towne
of
the
fountain
,
because
it
standeth
neere
to
the
Towne
or
Fountaines
from
whence
Iordan
issueth
.
Of
Abel-Bethmaacha
you
may
reade
before
.
Of
Chineroth
.
THis
Chineroth
or
Cineroth
was
the
metropolitan
City
of
the
tribe
of
Nepthali
,
72
miles
from
Ierusalem
Northward
It
was
scituated
in
a
very
fruitfull
and
pleasant
place
,
and
for
that
cause
was
so
called
;
for
Kinroth
being
deriued
of
Kinnor
,
signifieth
Musicke
or
Mirth
.
The
Trauels
of
NAAMAN
the
Syrian
.
NAaman
came
from
Damascus
to
Samaria
,
which
was
132
miles
,
to
be
cured
of
his
Leprosie
by
Elizeus
;
who
commanded
him
to
goe
to
the
riuer
Iordan
,
and
wash
himselfe
therein
7
times
,
and
he
should
be
clensed
.
Wherfore
from
Samaria
he
went
to
Iordan
,
26
miles
,
&
there
according
to
the
commandement
of
the
Prophet
,
he
washed
himselfe
7
times
,
and
was
clensed
,
2
Reg.
5.
From
the
riuer
Iordan
he
returned
backe
againe
to
Elizeus
the
Prophet
,
to
giue
him
thanks
for
that
benefit
,
which
was
about
16
miles
.
From
Samaria
he
returned
backe
to
Damascus
,
132
miles
.
So
all
the
trauels
of
Naaman
the
Syrian
were
296
miles
.
The
Trauels
of
HASAEL
King
of
Syria
.
HEe
went
from
Damascus
(
where
Elizeus
told
him
that
hee
should
succeed
his
Lord
and
Master
Benhadad
in
the
kingdome
,
to
Ramoth
Gilead
with
his
Army
,
which
was
104
miles
.
There
he
ouercame
Iehoram
king
of
Israel
in
a
great
battel
,
2
Reg.
cap.

From
thence
he
returned
to
Damascus
,
104
miles
.
After
he
went
from
Damascus
to
the
city
Aroer
,
which
was
132
miles
.
From
thence
he
went
through
the
land
of
Giliad
into
the
kingdom
of
Basan
,
vntil
he
came
to
mount
Libanus
,
which
is
accounted
80
miles
,
and
conquered
all
that
part.
2
Reg.
10.
After
he
returned
into
his
own
kingdom
to
Damascus
,
which
is
320
miles
.
Within
a
while
after
,
he
went
againe
from
Damascus
with
his
army
to
Gath
,
which
is
reckoned
188
miles
.
This
city
he
won
.
From
Gath
he
went
to
Ierusalem
,
32
miles
,
which
he
besieged
so
streightly
,
that
Ioas
King
of
Iudah
was
constrained
to
giue
him
great
aboundance
of
gold
to
raise
his
siege
and
be
gon
,
2
Reg.
12.
From
Ierusalem
he
went
back
to
Damascus
,
which
was
about
160
miles
.
The
last
journey
that
he
went
against
the
Israelites
,
was
when
he
besieged
Samaria
,
at
which
time
he
won
many
cities
&
towns
round
about
in
the
countrey
,
and
made
them
tributaries
to
him
,
2
Reg.
13.
which
was
132
miles
.
Hauing
finished
this
expedition
he
returned
back
to
Damascus
,
132
miles
,
and
there
died
and
was
buried
.
So
all
the
trauels
of
Hasael
King
of
Syria
were
1384
miles
.
The
cities
of
Aroer
and
Gath
are
described
before
;
therefore
I
shall
not
need
to
speake
of
them
again
in
this
place
.
The
Trauels
of
BENHADAD
second
of
that
name
,
King
of
Syria
.
THis
Benhadad
was
the
son
of
Hasael
,
and
succeeded
him
in
the
gouernment
.
He
went
from
the
city
Damascus
with
a
great
army
to
Apheck
,
which
is
104
miles
.
This
King
was
three
times
one
after
another
ouerthrowne
by
Ioab
King
of
Israel
,
&
lost
all
those
cities
which
Hasael
his
father
had
formerly
conquered
,
2
Reg.
13.
From
Apheck
he
returned
to
Damascus
,
104
miles
,
and
there
died
.
So
both
journies
were
208
miles
.
The
Trauels
of
RESIN
King
of
Syria
.
RESIN
King
of
Syria
went
from
Damascus
,
and
ioyning
his
Army
with
that
of
Pekah
King
of
Israel
,
they
went
to
Ierusalem
and
streightly
besieged
Ahab
King
of
Iudah
,
2
Reg.
16.
which
was
160
miles
.
At
this
time
(
which
was
in
the
yeare
of
the
world
3206
,
and
before
Christ
762
,
the
Prophet
Esay
ca.
7.
foretold
of
the
birth
of
our
Sauior
Christ
,
saying
,
Behold
,
a
Virgin
being
great
shal
bring
forth
a
child
,
and
shall
call
his
name
EMANVEL
.
From
thence
he
brought
his
army
through
Idumaea
to
Elath
a
city
of
the
Red
sea
,
some
160
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
South
,
and
16
miles
from
Ezeongaber
Northward
.
This
city
Resin
won
,
and
thrust
the
Iewes
out
of
it
.
From
Elath
hee
went
to
Damascus
,
280
miles
,
where
hee
was
slain
by
Tiglath
Phulasser
that
mighty
King
of
the
Assyrians
,
who
carried
a
great
multitude
of
the
inhabitants
of
Damascus
into
the
countrey
of
Syrene
,
where
they
endured
a
miserable
exile
,
2
Reg.
16.
So
all
the
trauels
of
King
Resin
were
600
miles
.
The
Trauels
of
the
Kings
of
Iudah
which
reigned
in
the
City
of
Ierusalem
:
and
first
of
the
Trauels
of
REHOBOHAM

REhoboam
the
sonne
of
Solomon
succeeded
his
father
in
the
Kingdome
,
and
began
his
reign
Anno
mundi
2971
,
and
before
Christ
977.
who
by
reason
of
his
extreme
crueltie
and
threats
(
following
the
counsell
of
his
yong
Courtiers
,
rather
than
of
his
graue
Senators
)
the
same
yeare
lost
10
of
the
Tribes
,
that
fell
from
him
and
rebelled
against
him
;
so
that
he
reigned
ouer
Iudah
and
Benjamin
17
yeares
,
1
Reg.
11.
14.
A
little
after
the
death
of
Solomon
he
went
to
Sichem
,
32
miles
,
where
he
was
anointed
and
crowned
King
.
But
the
people
perceiuing
that
hee
carried
himselfe
very
proudly
and
arrogantly
,
desired
him
that
he
would
ease
him
of
the
burden
formerly
imposed
vpon
them
by
his
father
:
(
for
Solomon
had
set
a
certaine
Taxe
on
euery
man
,
because
hee
was
at
extraordinarie
charges
as
long
as
the
temple
was
building
)
but
he
little
regarding
their
request
told
them
that
his
little
finger
should
be
heauier
than
the
whole
burthen
of
his
father
:
wherefore
they
disliking
his
speech
,
fel
all
from
him
,
except
Benjamin
and
Iudah
.
Wherefore
the
King
shunning
the
fury
of
the
people
,
with
all
possible
speed
went
from
Sichem
to
Ierusalem
back
again
,
being
32
miles
.
Then
he
fortified
all
the
chiefe
cities
of
Iuda
and
Benjamin
,
2
Chr.
11.
So
all
the
trauels
of
Rehoboam
were
64
miles
.
But
he
principally
fortified
14
cities
in
the
tribe
of
Iuda
,
that
with
the
more
safetie
he
might
oppose
his
enemy
Ieroboam

,
viz.
Bethlehem

I

on
a
mountaine
some
5
furlongs
from
Ierusalem
Southward
,
and
fell
by
lot
vnto
the
tribe

This
tower
was
as
it
were
a
bulwark
for
the
city
of
Ierusalem

&
stood
in
the
way
as
you

thence
to

Of

There
was

before

He
gouerned
Iudah
with
great
commendations
41
yeares
.
He
went
from
Ierusalem
to
Maresa
,
16
miles
,
where
in
the
valley
of
Zephatha
hee
ouercame
the
Ethiopians
in
a
memorable
battell
,
2
Chr.
14.
From
thence
he
pursued
the
Ethiopians
to
Gerar
,
being
22
miles
and
recouered
many
cities
which
the
Ethiopians
dwelt
in
.
2
Chr.
ca.
14.
From
Gerar
he
went
to
Ierusalem
,
which
was
32
miles
,
and
offered
to
the
Lord
of
the
spoiles
that
hee
had
taken
,
700
Oxen
,
and
7000
sheepe
,

These
trauels
of
King
Asa
make
70
miles
.
The
journey
and
expedition
of
Saerah
King
of
Aethiopia
,
whom
Asa
King
of
Iudah
ouercame
in
the
valley
of
Zephatha
.
SAerah
or
Saerach
signifieth
A
noble
and
puissant
Lord
.
This
was
a
mighty
and
warlike
Prince
,
who
gouerned
Lybia
and
Aethiopia
;
the
King
of
which
countrey
at
this
day
wee
call
Presbyter
Iohn
,
or
rather
Petro
Iohannes
;
who
holdeth
his
Court
in
a
faire
and
goodly
city
called
Hamarich
,
the
Metropolitan
of
all
Aethiopia
,
and
extendeth
his
gouernment
beyond
Meroes
in
Affrica
.
Many
(
though
ignorantly
)
suppose
he
is
a
Priest
,
because
he
is
called
Presbyter
,
though
indeed
he
is
not
so
,
but
rather
a
puissant
and
mighty
Emperor
.
But
to
return
to
Saerah
or
Saerach
,
who
in
hope
to
extend
his
Empire
into
these
parts
,
went
with
a
great
army
out
of
Ethiopia
,
to
the
valley
of
Zephatha
in
Iuda
,
to
fight
with
Asa
King
of
Iudah
,
1200
miles
;
but
lost
the
day
,
and
returned
with
great
shame
,
2
Chr.
15.
It
seemeth
that
this
King
was
the
mightiest
of
all
his
predecessors
,
and
a
Prince
of
no
vulgar
estimation
,
because
of
the
multitude
and
great
aboundance
of
soldiers
which
he
brought
in
his
army
;
for
it
is
reported
that
there
were
1000000
that
bore
armor
and
300
chariots
;
but
this
great
army
was
dispersed
,
and
most
of
them
died
miserably
:
as
did
that
great
army
of
Xerxes
,
which
consisted
of
1700000.
From
whence
it
may
be
concluded
,
That
it
is
not
the
strength
of
man
which
deliuereth
him
,
but
the
Lord
.
The
Trauels
of
IEHOSAPHAT

The

,

The
greatest
part
therfore
of
the
first
yeare
of
this
King
hapned
in
the
yeare
of
the
world
3033
,
and
before
Christ
935.
Hee
reigned
ouer
Israel
25
yeares
,
that
is
,
from
the
35
of
his
age
,
till
the
60.
In
the
7
yeare
of
his
reigne
hee
went
from
Ierusalem
to
Samaria
,
which
was
32
miles
,
to
visit
his
kinsman
Ahab
King
of
Israel
:
for
Ioram
his
son
some
ten
yeares
before
had
maried
Athaliah
King
Ahabs
Sister
,
2
Reg.
8.
From
Samaria
hee
went
with
Ahab
to
the
war
at
Ramoth
in
Gilead
,
which
was
24
miles
,
where
Ahab
was
slaine
,
2
Reg.
22.
2
Chr.
18.
From
Ramoth
he
went
safe
from
the
wars
to
Ierusalem
,
which
was
48
miles
.
From
Ierusalem
hee
went
to
the
city
of
Beersaba
,
the
vtmost
bounds
of
his
kingdome
towards
the
South
,
to
instruct
his
people
in
the
Law
of
the
Lord
;
which
was
42
miles
from
Ierusalem
Southward
.
From
Beersaba
,
passing
through
all
his
kingdome
hee
came
to
Mount
Ephraim
,
which
was
48
miles
,
and
the
vtmost
bounds
of
his
kingdome
Northward
,
beeing
some
8
miles
from
Ierusalem
,
2
Chr.
19.
From
Mount
Ephraim
he
went
to
Ierusalem
,
which
was
eight
miles
.
Thus
Iehosaphat
went
through
al
his
dominions
,
to
instruct
his
subjects
in
pietie
and
the
true
worship
of
God
:
In
euery
Citie
ordaining
Iudges
and
Gouernours
,
Magistrates
,
Procurators
,
and
Assessors
,
committing
to
their
discretion
the
deciding
of
all
controuersies
;
saying
to
them
,
Take
heed
what
you
doe
,
for
the
office
which
you
haue
taken
vpon
you
is
not
humane
,
but
Diuine
:
and
as
you
iudge
,
so
shall
you
bee
iudged
;
for
the
Lord
is
with
you
in
iudgement
.
Wherefore
doe
all
things
with
diligence
,
and
in
the
feare
of
the
Lord
;
for
with
the
Lord
there
is
no
iniquitie
,
nor
respect
of
persons
,
neither
taketh
he
any
bribes
.
And
he
himselfe
remained
chiefe
Iudge
in
Ierusalem
,
to
whom
any
might
appeale
from
the
inferior
Iudges
,
that
so
there
might
be
a
iust
end
of
controuersies
,
2
Chr.
16.
Afterward
Iehosaphat
went
forth
with
his
army
to
Tecoa
,
sixe
miles
from
Ierusalem
,
where
by
feruent
prayers
,
the
sounding
of
trumpets
and
other
musical
instruments
,
he
obtained
a
memorable
battell
against
the
Moabites
,
Ammonites
,
and
Idumaeans
;
for
the
Lord
turned
the
weapons
of
them
one
against
another
,
and
they
wounded
one
another
to
the
death
.
This
fight
happened
in
a
faire
vally
between
Tecoa
and
Engedi
.
So
Iehosaphat
pursued
the
enemy
for
three
daies
with
great
slaughter
,
and
returned
with
a
mighty
spoile
.
This
was
called
the
valley
of
Blessing
,
because
of
this
great
victorie
at
Tecoa
,
and
began
8
miles
from
Ierusalem
Southeastward
,
and
extended
it selfe
to
the
tower
of
Engedi
neer
to
the
banke
of
the
red
sea
,
20
miles
.
From
Engedi
(
out
of
the
valley
of
Blessing
)
Iehosaphat
and
his
army
returned
to
Ierusalem
,
20
miles
,
and
went
into
the
Temple
with
shalmes
,
harpes
,
timbrels
,
and
great
joy
,
thankfully
acknowledging
Gods
mercifull
fauor
toward
him
in
giuing
him
so
great
a
victorie
,
2
Chr.
20.
But
as
there
is
nothing
in
this
life
that
can
be
said
permanent
,
so
likewise
the
felicitie
of
Iehosaphat
changed
on
a
sudden
,
the
froward
and
aduerse
frowne
of
aduersitie
seising
vpon
his
prosperitie
:
for
ioyning
with
that
wicked
and
impious
King
of
Israel
Ahaziah
,
vpon
condition
to
build
a
certain
navy
of
ships
at
Ezeongaber
,
to
fetch
gold
from
Tharshish
and
other
places
in
India
,
he
displeased
the
Lord
;
for
which
cause
there
arose
a
great
tempest
,
which
brake
down
the
workes
and
destroyed
the
Navy
.
From
Ierusalem
he
went
with
Iehoram
King
of
Israel
to
war
against
the
Moabites
,
and
with
them
went
the
King
of
Idumaea
:
so
passing
through
the
desarts
of
Edom
,
they
came
to
Mount
Seir
,
and
so
went
to
Petra
the
chiefe
city
of
the
King
of
the
Moabits
,
distant
from
Ierusalem
72
miles
,
2
Reg.

From
Petra
Iehosaphat
returned
to
Ierusalem
,
72
miles
,
where
he
died
and
was
buried
,
2
Reg.

So
all
the
trauels
of
Iehosaphat
King
of
Iuda
were
372
miles
.

of
IEHOSAPHAT
.
AS
Iehosaphat
by
prayer
,
and
the
sound
of
trumpets
and
other
instruments
of
musick
ouercame
&
dispersed
his
enemies
without
drawing
his
sword
;
so
Christ
also
by
the
sound
of
his
Word
and
doctrine
,
without
drawing
weapon
,
ouercame
the
enemies
of
the
Church
.
The
Trauels
of
IORAM
King
of
Iudah
.
IOram
signifies
,
The
Exalted
of
the
Lord
.
He
was
crowned
king
(
his
father
yet
liuing
)
at
such
time
as
he
made
his
expedition
against
Mesa
King
of
the
Moabites
,
which
hapned
about
the
fift
yere
of
Iehoram
King
of
Israel
,
An.

3055
,
before
Christ
913.
He
reigned
with
his
father
Iehosaphat
2
yeares
,
and
after
his
decease
six
.
So
Ioram
reigned
8
yeares
ouer
Iudah
,
and
when
hee
was
forty
yeares
old
died
miserably
,

About
the
beginning
of
the
second
yeare
of
this
Kings
reign
,
(
which
was
the
sixt
of
Iehoram
King
of
Israel
)
Elias
the
Prophet
was
taken
vp
into
heauen
.
About
the
beginning
of
his
reigne
he
went
from
Ierusalem
to
Mount
Seir
,
which
was
28
miles
Southward
;
where
he
vsed
such
extreme
cruelty
toward
the
Edomites
,
which
at
this
time
were
his
subiects
,
that
of
a
sudden
they
fell
from
him
,
and
chose
them
a
King
of
their
own
,
2
Reg.
8.
From
the
Mountain
of
Seir
he
returned
to
Ierusalem
which
is
28
miles
,
and
there
cruelly
put
to
death
his
owne
brothers
.
But
God
stirred
vp
against
him
the
Philistines
and
Arabians
,
who
broke
into
Iuda
,
and
destroyed
it
with
fire
and
sword
.
They
also
went
to
Ierusalem
,
and
tooke
thence
all
his
substance
and
riches
,
put
his
children
to
the
sword
,
all
but
Ioachas
,
which
also
called
Ahaziah
or
Ochorias
;
&
caried
away
his
wiues
captiue
into
Arabia
Foelix
,
which
is
neer
vnto
Ethiopia
,
1200
miles
.
Then
the
Lord
strooke
him
with
an
extreme
paine
in
his
bowels
,
of
which
after
two
yeares
he
died
,
and
was
buried
without
any
funerall
pomp
or
honorable
respect
,
neere
to
the
Kings
tower
.
A
man
vnworthy
to
be
buried
in
the
sepulchre
of
the
rest
of
the
Kings
,
because
hee
so
much
degenerated
from
Dauid
his
predecessor
,
2
Reg.

2
Chr.

So
all
the
trauels
of
Ioram
were
56
miles
.
The
Trauels
of
AHAZIAH
King
of
Iudah
.
AHaziah
(
which
also
was
called
Iehoachas
)
succeeded
his
Father
Ioram
in
the
gouernment
of
Iudah
,
&
began
his
reign
in
the
12
yeare
of
Iehoram
King
of
Israel
,
Ann.
mundi
3062.
and
before
Christ
906
,
and
reigned
one
yeare
,
1
Reg.
8.
He
went
from
Ierusalem
to
Ramoth
in
Gilead
,
which
is
accounted
48
miles
:
There
he
went
to
battell
with
Iehoram
King
of
Israel
against
the
Syrians
,
2
Reg.
8.
2
Chr.
22.
From
Ramoth
in
Gilead
he
returned
to
Ierusalem
,
forty
eight
miles
.
Within
a
while
after
he
went
backe
again
to
visit
his
kinsman
Iehoram
King
of
Israel
,
to
Iesreel
,
for
hee
was
wounded
in
the
battell
against
Hasael
,
and
lay
there
to
be
cured
:
which
was
forty
and
eight
miles
.
With
Iehoram
he
went
to
meet
Iehu
the
Captaine
of
the
Host
,
who
shot
an
Arrow
and
wounded
Iehoram
,
that
hee
died
in
the
field
of
Naboth
the
Iesreelite
.
Wherefore
Ahaziah
to
saue
his
life
fled
with
all
possible
speed
,
taking
his
way
to
the
Kings
garden
that
stood
close
by
the
vineyard
of
Naboth
the
Iesreelite
,
not
farre
from
the
City
and
Tower
of
Iezreel
.
But
Iehu
followed
him
so
close
,
that
he
wounded
him
as
he
ascended
vp
vnto
a
place
called
GVR
,
which
signifieth
,
A
Lions
Whelpe
;
neere
vnto
the
Towne
which
is
called
Iiblea
.
Wherefore
Ahaziah
feeling
himselfe
hurt
,
he
went
to
Megiddo
,
foure
miles
from
Iesreel
,
and
neere
to
Apheck
vpon
the
West
.
There
,
as
Iosephus
saith
,
Lib.
Antiq.
9.
)
hee
caused
his
wounds
to
be
searched
and
bound
vp
.
This
citie
of
Megiddo
is
48
miles
from
Ierusalem
Northward
.
From
Megiddo
hee
went
to
Samaria
,
which
was
14
miles
:
there
he
lay
hid
for
a
while
,
flying
from
one
place
to
another
,
to
saue
himselfe
,
2
Chron.
22.
But
being
found
out
he
was
carried
backe
to
the
citie
of
Megiddo
,
which
was
14
miles
;
and
at
the
commandement
of
Iehu
,
was
there
slaine
,
1
Reg.

From
Megiddo
his
carkasse
was
carried
to
Ierusalem
,
which
was
48
miles
,
and
there
buried
,
2

So
all
the
Trauels
of
Ahaziah
King
of
Iudah
,
were
224
miles
.
Of
that
Idolatrous
and
wicked
Queene
Athalia
.
AThalia
was
sister
to
Ahab
and
daughter
to
Omri
,
married
to
Ioram
sonne
of
that
good
King
Iehosaphat
,
when
he
was
but
17
yeares
of
age
:
and
after
the
death
of
Azahiah
(
who
was
slaine
about
the
23
yeres
of
age
)
she
vsurped
vpon
the
kingdome
of
Israel
(
anno
mundi
,
3063
,
before
Christ
,
905
,
)
and
raigned
with
great
tyranny
almost
7
yeares
:
So
soone
as
she
had
obtained
the
gouernment
,
she
cruelly
and
miserably
put
to
death
all
the
children
of
Ahaziah
,
and
all
those
that
were
next
heire
to
the
Kingdome
;
onely
Ioas
,
who
was
saued
by
the
policie
of
Iehoshabeath
sister
to
Ahasiah
,
that
stole
him
from
among
the
rest
of
the
Kings
sonnes
,
and
put
him
to
nourse
in
her
bed-chamber
:
and
hee
was
with
them
in
the
house
of
God
six
yeares
,
all
which
time
Athalia
raigned
ouer
the
land
.
And
in
the
seuenth
yeare
,
Iehoiada
waxed
bold
and
proclamed
Ioas
King
,
as
being
next
heire
to
the
crowne
,
and
annointed
him
in
the
temple
;
who
after
Athalia
was
slaine
succeeded
in
the
gouernment
,
2

Of
Ioas
King
of
Iudah
.
IOas
began
th
raigne
ouer
Iudah
when
he
was
almost
7
yeres
of
age
,
and
about
the
middle
of
the
seuenth
yeare
of
Iehu
King
of
Israel
,
anno
mundi
,
3069
,
and
before
Christ
,
899
,
and
raigned
ouer
Iudah
40
yeres
.
He
did
that
which
was
acceptable
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord
all
the
daies
of
Iehoiada
the
Priest
,
who
crowned
him
king
:
but
after
his
death
he
fell
into
euil
courses
,
and
caused
that
good
Priest
Zachariah
(
the
sonne
of
Iehoiada
,
who
was
the
author
of
all
his
preferment
)
to
be
stoned
to
death
in
the
vpper
court
of
the
Temple
;
which
act
argued
that
he
was
very
vnthankefull
and
tyrannicall
.
But
the
Lord
(
displeased
with
his
crueltie
)
within
a
yeare
after
the
death
of
Zachariah
,
stirred
vp
the
Syrians
,
who
inuaded
Iudaea
,
and
spoiled
the
citie
of
Ierusalem
:
in
which
warre
all
those
that
stirred
vp
the
king
to
Idolatrie
were
cruelly
slaine
.
To
conclude
,
within
a
while
after
some
of
his
courtiers
conspired
against
him
,
and
as
he
lay
sicke
of
a
grieuous
disease
in
his
bed
put
him
to
death
;
and
buried
him
in
Millo
,
the
Citie
of
Dauid
.
Thus
God
justly
punished
this
tyrant
for
his
vnthankefulnesse
,
apostasie
,
and
cruelty
,
when
he
had
liued
47
yeares
,

The
Trauels
of
Amasiah
King
of
Iuda
.
AMasias
,
or
Amasiah
signifies
,
the
strength
of
Iehouah
.
This
man
was
25
yeares
of
age
when
he
was
enthronised
by
his
father
,
about
the
second
yeare
of
Ioas
King
of
Israel
,
Anno
mundi
,
3108
,
and
before
Christ
806.
He
ruled
the
kingdome
while
his
father
was
sicke
one
yeare
,
and
after
his
decease
28
:
so
all
the
yeares
of
his
raigne
were
29.
He
went
with
an
army
from
Ierusalem
to
Saelag
,
that
is
to
the
tower
or
rocke
of
Mount
Seir
,
40
miles
towards
the
South
:
here
in
the
valley
of
Salt
he
put
to
death
a
multitude
of
the
Idumaeans
.
And
although
this
towne
was
very
strongly
scituated
;
yet
he
woon
it
,
and
called
it
Ioctiel
,
that
is
,
The
eare
of
the
Lord
;
because
God
in
that
place
heard
his
prayers
:
being
deriued
of
Iakah
and
El
,
which
is
,
God
hath
heard
.
Neere
to
this
Towne
Amasiah
commanded
ten
thousand
Idumaeans
which
hee
had
taken
in
warre
,
to
be
cast
downe
headlong
from
the
top
of
an
high
rocke
into
a
deepe
valley
,
in
which
fall
their
bones
were
shattered
all
to
pieces
,
and
they
died
miserably
,
2
Reg.
14.
From
Selag
Ioctiel
hee
returned
to
Ierusalem
,
which
was
40
miles
;
where
hee
began
to
worship
the
gods
of
the
Idumaeans
that
he
brought
along
with
him
,
2
Chron.
25.
From
Ierusalem
hee
went
to
Bethsemes
,
and
there
was
ouercome
by
Ioas
King
of
Israel
,
which
was
4
miles
,
2
Chron.
25.
From
Bethsemes
Ioas
led
Amasiah
backe
againe
to
Ierusalem
captiue
,
which
was
4
miles
,
2
Reg.
14.
From
Ierusalem
he
fled
to
the
citie
of
Lachis
,
which
was
20
miles
,
and
there
was
slaine
by
his
owne
seruants
,
2
Chron.
25.
From
Lachis
his
carkasse
was
carried
backe
againe
to
Ierusalem
20

:
where
it
was
buried
in
the
citie
of
Dauid
,

So
all
his
trauels
were
128
miles
.
The
Trauels
of
Azariah
,
or
Vzziah
King
of
Iudah
.
THis
man
succeeded
his
father
Amasia
(
in
the
yeare
of
the
world
3138
,
and
before
Christ
,
830
)
when
hee
was
but
16
yeares
of
age
,
and
raigned
52
yeares
:
his
mothers
name
was
Iecoliah
of
Ierusalem
.
He
did
those
things
that
were
vpright
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord
,
therefore
the
Lord
blessed
him
.
And
after
the
death
of
his
father
,
built
Elah
,
and
restored
it
to
Iudah
.
He
therefore
went
from
Ierusalem
to
Elah
,
160
miles
towards
the
South
,
and
rebuilt
that
towne
(
it
being
a
famous
Mart
towne
,
scituated
vpon
the
red
sea
)
and
fortified
it
,
because
Resin
King
of
the
Syrians
in
times
past
for
want
of
due
fortification
woon
it
,
and
destroied
it
,
2
Chron
26.
From
Elah
he
returned
to
Ierusalem
,
160
miles
.
After
hee
went
from
Ierusalem
to
Gath
a
citie
of
the
Philistines
,
which
was
accounted
34
miles
:
this
towne
he
woon
,
beat
downe
the
wals
,
and
destroied
the
Bulwarkes
thereof
.
From
thence
he
went
to
Iabnia
,
which
is
24
miles
,
and
broke
downe
the
wals
thereof
,
2
Chron.
26.
From
thence
he
went
to
Azotus
or
Asdod
,
which
was
8
miles
,
2
Chron.
26.
From
Asdod
he
went
againe
to
Ierusalem
,
being
22
miles
.
Within
a
while
after
,
he
gathered
an
armie
,
and
went
from
Ierusalem
to
Gur-Baal
,
that
is
,
Gerar
;
where
he
ouercame
the
Arabians
in
a
great
battell
,
which
was
32
miles
,
2
Chron.
26.
From
Gerar
he
returned
to
Ierusalem
,
being
32
miles
.
He
went
from
Ierusalem
the
third
time
into
the
land
of
the
Amonites
,
60
miles
;
which
people
he
conquered
,
and
made
tributarie
to
him
:
so
that
he
was
made
famous
through
all
the
countries
thereabout
,
euen
to
the
vtmost
part
of
Egypt
,
because
of
his
often
victories
and
triumphs
,
2
Chron.
26.
Out
of
the
land
of
the
Ammonites
he
returned
to
Ierusalem
,
which
was
60
miles
.
But
now
being
lift
vp
with
the
prosperitie
of
fortune
,
and
not
content
with
his
regall
dignitie
,
he
endeauoured
to
haue
chiefe
authority
ouer
the
Priests
also
:
for
which
cause
he
went
into
that
part
of
the
temple
where
the
Altar
of
sweet
incense
stood
(
where
it
was
lawfull
for
none
to
goe
but
the
Priests
)
and
there
tooke
vpon
him
to
offer
sweet
incense
;
but
as
he
was
offering
the
Lord
strucke
him
with
Leprosie
,
so
that
he
was
constrained
to
dwell
in
a
house
by
himselfe
,
separated
from
the
congregation
:
And
his
sonne
Iotham
gouerned
in
his
stead
all
the
dayes
of
his
life
.
But
within
a
while
after
he
died
of
this
disease
,
and
was
buried
in
the
Kings
garden
at
Ierusalem
,
and
not
in
the
sepulchre
of
the
Kings
,
2
Reg.

2
Chron.

So
all
the
trauels
of
Azariah
King
of
Iuda
,
were
592
miles
.
Of
the
places
to
which
he
trauelled
.
Of
Elah
.
THis
was
a
city
scituated
vpon
the
Red
Sea
,
160
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
South
;
betweene
Ezion-gaber
and
Midian
.
This
city
,
Resin
King
of
the
Syrians
conquered
;
but
Azariah
King
of
Iudah
droue
thence
the
Syrians
,
and
made
it
so
strong
,
that
it
seemed
impossible
to
be
conquered
.
It
tooke
the
name
of
aboundance
of
Oakes
,
which
(
as
it
seemeth
)
grew
about
that
place
:
for
Elah
or
Ilix
,
signifies
,
a
kind
of
Oake
tree
,
(
of
which
there
is
great
plenty
in
the
Holy
land
)
so
called
because
of
their
strength
and
hardnesse
.
Of
Iabnia
.
THis
was
a
city
neere
to
Ioppa
and
Lidda
,
16
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
Northwest
.
This
city
taketh
the
name
of
wisedome
and
prudence
,
being
deriued
of

to
vnderstand
.
Of
Gur-Baal
.
THis
towne
is
also
called
Gerar
,
where
Abraham
and
Isaac
sometimes
trauelled
;
it
is
distant
from
Ierusalem
32
miles
towards
the
Southwest
,
and
six
miles
from
Hebron
.
Here
the
Iewes
and
neighbouring
Arabians
afterward
worshipped
the
Idol
Baal
:
and
therefore
this
citie
which
in
the
times
of
the
Patriarchs
,
was
called
Gerar
,
a
Perigrination
;
was
after
called
Gur-Baal
,
that
is
,
the
Perigrination
of
the
idoll

,
being
deriued
of
Gor

He
hath
trauelled

The
Trauels
of
Iotham
King
of
Iudah
.
IOtham
signifies

He
succeeded
his
father
Azariah
when
he
was
about
25
yeares
of
age
,
anno
mundi
3190
,
and
before
Christ
,
778.
He
raigned
ouer
Iudah
17
yeares
,
vntill
the
41
yeare
of
his
age
.
His
mothers
name
was
Icruscha
,
so
called
from
an
inheritance
or
possession
.
He
began
his
raigne
in
the
second
yeare
of
Pekah
King
of
Israel
,
and
continued
it
vntill
the
17
yeare
of
his
gouernment
,
2
Reg.
15.
17.
When
this
noble
Prince
had
rebuilded
and
richly
adorned
the
porch
of
the
house
of
the
Lord
,
he
went
from
Ierusalem
and
inuaded
the
countrey
of
the
Ammonites
(
which
was
60
miles
,
)
conquered
their
King
,
and
made
the
whole
land
pay
him
tribute
,
euen
a
hundred
talents
of
siluer
of
the
common
weight
,
and
10000
measure
of
Wheate
,
and
10000
of
Barley
yearely
.
This
tribute
continued
three
yeares
.
From
the
land
of
the
Ammonites
he
went
backe
to
Ierusalem
,
which
was
60
miles
;
where
after
he
had
adorned
the
Citie
and
Temple
with
many
Princely
buildings
,
hee
died
,
about
the
41
yeare
of
his
age
,
2
Reg.

So
all
his
trauels
were
120
miles
.
Of
Ahaz
King
of
Iudah
.
AHAZ
signifies
Apprehending
,
or
a
possessor
.
He
began
to
raigne
after
the
death
of
his
father
Iotham
,
about
the
end
of
the
17
yere
of
Pekah
King
of
Israel
,
Anno
mundi
,
3206
,
before
Christ
,
762.
He
raigned
wickedly
16
yeares
,
2
Reg.
16.
2
Chr.
28.
For
hee
was
a
notorious
hypocrite
,
who
out
of
a
peruerse
zeale
worshipped
many
Idols
,
and
burnt
his
sonne
in
the
valley
of
Gehinnon
,
as
an
offering
vnto
Moloch
.
Wherefore
he
was
vnhappy
in
his
gouernment
;
for
God
stirred
vp
mighty
enemies
against
him
,
euen
Resin
king
of
Syria
,
and
Pekah
king
of
Israel
,
who
wasted
and
destroied
his
Kingdome
,
and
(
straightly
besieging
Ierusalem
)
conquered
Ahaz
in
a
great
battell
,
and
put
to
the
sword
120000
of
his
men
.
After
that
,
Resin
returned
to
Elath
,
and
tooke
it
:
so
that
he
lost
more
than
his
father
had
gotten
.
Where
being
strucke
into
a
great
feare
by
reason
of
these
aduersities
,
hee
sent
to
craue
the
aid
of
Tiglasse
Phulasser
king
of
the
Assirians
,
who
at
his
request
sent
a
great
Army
from
Niniueh
to
Damascus
,
520
miles
,
and
there
ouercame
Resin
,
and
put
him
to
death
,
and
tooke
captiue
242000
of
the
people
of
Damascus
,
and
sent
them
into
Cyren
a
country
of
Africa
,
2
Reg.

The
Trauels
of
Ahaz
.
King
Ahaz
went
from
Ierusalem
to
Damascus
,
which
was
160
miles
,
to
meet
Tiglath
Phulasser
King
of
the
Assirians
,
to
rejoyce
with
him
for
his
happy
victory
,
and
giue
him
thanks
for
his
aid
and
assistance
:
where
when
he
saw
the
Altar
at
Damascus
to
be
very
glorious
,
he
sent
for
Vrija
the
chiefe
Priest
,
who
tooke
a
patterne
thereof
,
and
carried
it
with
him
to
Ierusalem
,
where
he
made
an
Altar
like
vnto
it
,
2
Reg.
16.
From
Damascus
he
returned
backe
againe
160
miles
.
(
So
his
trauels
were
320
miles
.
)
But
yet
Ahaz
continued
in
his
peruerse
impiety
and
idolatry
,
without
any
regard
or
feare
of
God
,
therefore
he
stirred
vp
other
enemies
against
him
,
viz.
the
Idumaeans
,
who
tooke
a
great
multitude
of
them
captiue
;
and
the
Philistines
,
who
with
their
Army
broke
into
the
South
part
of
the
tribe
of
Iuda
,
and
tooke
these
cities
following
;
viz.
Bethsemes
,
Aialon
,
Timnath
,
Socho
,
Gederoth
,
and
Gimso
,
with
their
villages
.
These
Cities
for
the
most
part
are
mentioned
in
the
precedent
treatise
,
except
Gederoth
and
Gimso
.
Gederoth
,
commonly
called
Gederothaim
,
is
distant
from
Ierusalem
eight
little
miles
towards
the
South-west
,
and
stands
neere
to
the
castle
of
Emaus
,
being
compassed
about
with
a
hedge
,
from
whence
it
seemeth
to
take
the
name
;
for
Gadar
is
as
much
to
say
as
,
He
hath
hedged
about
.
Gimso
was
also
in
the
Tribe
of
Iuda
,
but
in
what
place
it
is
not
certainely
known
.
Thus
king
Ahaz
all
the
daies
of
his
life
did
euill
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord
,
for
which
God
punished
him
and
all
the
land
,
and
in
the
16
yeare
of
his
raigne
he
died
,
and
was
buried
with
his
fathers
in
the
Citie
Dauid
.
The
Trauels
of
Ezekias
King
of
Iuda
.
Ezekias
(
which
signifies
,
The
Champion
of
Iehouah
)
was
borne
when
his
father
was
but
thirteene
yeares
of
age
,
which
made
many
questions
whether
he
should
succeed
him
as
his
lawfull
heire
in
his
Kingdome
,
because
they
doubted
whether
he
was
lawfully
begotten
.
For
if
you
doe
obserue
the
order
and
course
of
the
yeares
and
chronologie
in
the
Scripture
,
you
shall
finde
that
from
the
beginning
of
the
thirteenth
yeare
of
the
age
of
Ahaz
,
to
the
first
yeare
of
the
raigne
of
this
King
Ezekias
,
make
just
twenty
fiue
yeres
.
Ezekias
therefore
began
to
raigne
after
the
death
of
his
father
Ahaz
,
about
the
end
of
the
third
yeare
of
Hosea
King
of
Israel
,
2
Reg.
19.
Anno
mun.
3222
,
before
Christ
,
746
,
being
then
about
25
yeres
of
age
,
a
little
before
Easter
,
as
it
appeareth
,
2
Chron.
29.
He
gouerned
that
Kingdome
with
great
commendations
29
yeares
.
The
first
journey
that
he
tooke
was
from
Ierusalem
to
Gaza
,
which
was
44
miles
,
there
he
ouercame
the
Army
of
the
Philistines
,
and
recouered
all
those
cities
which
his
father
Ahaz
had
lost
,
according
to
that
in
the
Prophet
Esay
,
cap.
15.
2
Reg.
18.
From
Gaza
hee
returned
to
Ierusalem
,
which
was
44
miles
;
there
he
broke
downe
the
places
for
idolatry
,
and
the
brasen
Serpent
made
by
Moses
in
the
wildernesse
,
and
called
it
Nehustan
,
a
brasen
thing
that
hath
nothing
in
it selfe
of
a
diuine
nature
,
and
could
neither
profit
nor
hurt
,
therefore
ought
not
to
be
worshipped
.
This
brasen
serpent
was
kept
in
memory
of
that
signe
that
God
shewed
vnto
the
children
of
Israel
in
the
desart
,
when
they
were
bitten
and
stung
to
death
by
fiery
serpents
,
for
looking
vpon
this
brasen
serpent
they
were
healed
.
But
now
because
of
the
abuse
thereof
by
the
Iewes
,
which
turned
it
into
idolatry
,
it
was
broken
to
pieces
.

So
all
the
trauels
of
Ezechias
were
88
miles
.
In
the
14
yeare
of
the
raigne
of
Ezekias
,
and
in
the
38
of
his
age
,
Senacharib
(
that
mighty
Emperour
of
the
Assirians
)
hauing
taken
many
townes
and
cities
in
the
Holy
land
,
would
haue
also
besieged
Ierusalem
,
and
for
that
purpose
sent
from
Lachis
(
which
was
20
miles
distant
from
Ierusalem
)
Thartan
,
Rabsarim
,
and
Rabsacha
,
three
mighty
Princes
,
Embassadors
,
with
a
great
traine
to
attend
them
.
These
men
went
about
the
citie
,
to
see
in
what
part
it
was
most
subject
to
batterie
,
and
might
easiest
begot
:
so
when
they
came
to
the
conduit
of
the
vpper
poole
,
which
is
by
the
path
of
the
Fullers
field
,
between
the
Fish
gate
and
the
old
gate
,
in
that
place
where
they
might
easiliest
be
heard
,
they
called
to
the
King
:
but
Eliakim
the
sonne
of
Hilkiah
(
which
was
Hezekias
Steward
)
Shebnah
the
Chancellor
,
and
Ioab
the
sonne
of
Asaph
,
the
Recorder
,
went
vpon
the
wall
:
then
Rabsacha
vttered
blasphemous
words
against
the
Lord
:
but
Ezekias
when
hee
had
heard
what
the
enemie
had
said
,
called
all
the
Elders
of
Ierusalem
together
,
and
sent
for
Isaiah
the
sonne
of
Amos
the
Prophet
,
and
they
went
into
the
temple
of
the
Lord
and
praied
.
Wherefore
the
Lord
heard
their
prayers
,
and
sent
his
Angel
into
the
Campe
of
the
Assirians
,
and
loe
,
in
one
night
there
were
slaine
185000
men
as
they
lay
in
their
tents
before
Gibeah
(
which
at
this
time
they
besieged
)
being
distant
from
Ierusalem
some
ten
miles
towards
the
Southwest
.
This
great
deliuerance
hapned
in
the
yeare
of
the
world
3235
,
and
before
Christ
,
733.
About
the
end
of
the
38
yeare
of
the
age
of
Ezekiah
,
he
fell
into
a
dangerous
disease
,
which
so
farre
forth
as
could
be
gathered
by
all
likelihoods
was
the
plague
;
(
for
God
doth
oftentimes
try
the
patience
of
his
Saints
with
sundry
afflictions
)
but
yet
at
his
feruent
prayers
hee
was
restored
to
health
,
and
his
daies
were
lengthned
15
yeares
:
at
which
time
the
Sunne
went
backe
ten
degrees
,
according
to
the
variation
of

But
at
the
end
of
the
15
yeares
,
which
was
about
the
54
yeare
of
his
age
,
he
died
,
and
was
buried
with

fathers
.
The
Trauels
of
Manasses
.
MAnasses
or
Manasseth
signifieth
,

hath
forgotten
.
This
man
was
12
yeares
old
when
hee
succeeded
his
father
Ezekiah
in
the
Kingdome
of
Iudah
:
he
began
to
raigne

This
King
was
a
great
Idolater
,
and
one
that
put
the
Prophets
of
the
Lord
to
death
,
so
that
it
was
wonderfull
to
see
what
tyranny
&
mischiefe
he
wrought
in
Israel
:
wherefore
the
Lord
stirred
vp
the
Assirians
against
him
,
who
ouercame
him
in
a
great
battell
,
and
tooke
him
captiue
,
carrying
him
bound
in
chaines
from

to
Babylon
,
euen
680
miles
.
But
after
being
humbled
by
his
afflictions
,
he
came
to
a
knowledge
of
himselfe
,
and
repented
for
his
former
euill
,
humbling
himselfe
with
prayer
and
fasting
vnder
the
hand
of
God
:
wherefore
the
Lord
tooke
compassion
of
him
,
and
stirred
vp
the
minde
of
the
King
of
Babylon
to
mercy
,
so
that
hee
loosed
his
bands
,
and
sent
him
backe
againe
to
Ierusalem
,
680
miles
.
From
that
time
forward
he
left
idolatry
and
worshipped
the
true
God
,
adorned
the
Temple
of
the
Lord
with
many
faire
and
beautifull

,
and
in

signifies
,
The

This
was
the
sonne
of
that
good
King
Iosiah
,
(
yet
an
impious
tyrant
:
)
who
,
by
the
permission
of
Nabuchadonezar
the
great
,
was
suffered
to
be
King
of
Iudah
after
his
brother
,
when
he
was
21
yeares
of
age
.
He
began
to
raigne
about
the
beginning
of
the
3352

of
the
World
,
and
before

This

by

Three

to
be

For

these
yeares
,
according

,
cap.

the
sins
of
Ieroboam
should
be
grieuously
punished
vpon
the
people
of
Iudah
.
In
like
manner
,
from
the
end
of
the
13
yere
of
Iosiah
,
wherin
Ieremie
first
began
to
prophecie
,
vntill
this
yeare
,
in
which
the
children
of
Israel
were
carried
away
captiue
into
Babylon
,
are
numbred
40
yeares
:
which
by
Ezek.
cap.
4.
are
called
the
yeares
of
the
iniquitie
of
Iuda
,
because
so
long
the
Iewes
did
contemne
and
despise
the
admonition
of
the
Prophet
Ieremie
.
Of
Babylon
.
HOw
far
this
citie
stood
from
Ierusalem
,
you
may
reade
before
which
by
the
Chaldaeans
is
called
Shinear
,
or
Sinear
,
and
signifies
,
To
strike
vpon
the
teeth
,
being
deriued
of
Schen
,
A
tooth
,
and
Naer
,
To
strike
.
It
may
also
bee
taken
for
that
,
when
a
man
endeauoured
with
all
speed
to
execute
a
thing
,
which
seemes
to
resemble
the
condition
of
Nimrod
;
for
that
in
this
place
he
endeuoured
to
ouercome
and
conquer
all
his
neighbours
:
from
whence
this
land
was
called
Casdius
,
that
is
,
The
countrey
of
the
destroyer
.
So
changing
M
into
L
,
it
is
called
Chaldeus
or
Chaldaea
.
The
chiefe
and
Metropolitan
citie
of
which
countrie
,
was
this
Babylon
,
built
some
thirtie
yeares
after
the
floud
by
Nimrod
,
or
the
Babylonian
Saturne
,
the
first
great
commander
of
the
world
,
according
to
Berosus
lib.
4.
who
writeth
after
this
manner
:
Nimrod
which
was
accounted
the
sonne
of
Iupiter
Belus
,
being
angry
with
the
holy
Priests
of
that
great
God
Iehouah
,
came
with
his
colonie
and
people
into
the
field
of
Sinear
,
where
hee
built
a
citie
,
and
laid
the
foundation
of
a
great
tower
,
131
yeares
after
the
floud
;
and
raised
this
tower
to
such
a
height
,
and
withall
of
such
a
hugenesse
,
that
it
seemed
as
if
it
had
beene
some
great
mountaine
;
because
he
would
haue
the
Babylonian
people
accounted
the
chiefest
and
greatest
in
the
world
;
also
their
gouernor
the
King
of
Kings
.
A
little
after
he
saith
,
he
built
this
tower
,
but
before
he
could
finish
it
,
dyed
,
in
the
56
yeare
aftet
he
began
it
:
wherefore
the
citie
and
tower
of
Babylon
,
according
to
the
opinion
of
Berosus
,
was
begun
in
Anno
mundi
,
1788
,
which
was
131
yeares
after
the
flood
,
and
before
Christ
,
2180.
There
were
two
causes
wherefore
the
children
of
men
built
vp
this
Tower
;
first
,
that
they
might
get
them
a
name
:
secondly
,
that
they
might
be
safe
in
case
there
came
another
flood
to
drowne
the
world
.
It
was
made
of
bricke
and
bittume
,
least
the
water
should
loosen
it
.
But
the
Lord
turned
their
enterprises
into
euill
,
and
diuided
their
Language
,
so
that
they
could
not
vnderstand
one
another
[
whereby
they
were
constrained
to
leaue
off
their
building
:
]
from
whence
it
happened
that
their
mindes
,
manners
,
vnderstandings
,
studies
,
and
principall
actions
were
vtterly
changed
,
and
is
the
foundation
of
all
discord
and
sedition
,
where
the
feare
of
God
,
and
the
true
knowledge
of
Christ
doth
not
preuent
it
.
From
this
diuision
of
tongues
,
it
is
called
the
citie
of
Babylon
,
this
is
,
the
citie
of
diuision
,
being
deriued
of
the
word
Balal

hath
confounded
or
mingled
together

Of
this
city

where
he
bringeth
in
a
saying
of
the
Sibels
,
which
was
,
That
when
all
nations
were
of
one
language
,
they
built
an
exceeding
high
tower
,
as
though
they
would
haue
ascended
by
it
into
heauen
;
but
the
Lord
,
with
great
tempest
and
diuiding
their
tongues
,
subuerted
their
enterprise
,
from
whence
it
was
called
Babylon
.
This
citie
was
the
fairest
in
those
times
of
all
others
,
scituated
in
a
spacious
plaine
,
vpon
euery
side
whereof
,
there
stood
pleasant
orchards
and
gardens
:
it
was
built
foure
square
,
compassed
about
with
wals
of
an
incredible
strength
and
greatnesse
,
being
50
cubits
thicke
,
and
200
high
,
beautified
within
with
goodly
buildings
,
fair
temples
richly
guilt
with
gold
,
and
wonderfull
to
looke
vpon
.
It
was
in
compasse
380
furlongs
,
as
Strabo
saith
,
which
make
48
miles
.
Through
it
ran
the
riuer
Euphrates
,
by
which
all
things
necessarie
were
conueyed
to
the
Citie
:
without
it
was
compassed
with
faire
ditches
fil'd
with
water
like
riuers
,
and
in
the
wall
there
stood
a
hundred
gates
.
Herodotus
saith
,
That
it
was
480
furlongs
about
,
which
make
60
miles
English
,
but
that
is
not
so
credible
.
The
first
founder
of
this
citie
was
Nimrod
,
who
in
those
times
was
the
chiefe
commander
of
the
world
.
It
is
thought
that
he
was
the
sonne
of
Cham
,
the
sonne
of
Noah
;
whose
name
signifies
,
a
cruell
gouernor
,
or
an
vnmercifull
tyrant
.
And
that
his
actions
might
be
according
to
the
signification
of
his
name
,
he
is
branded
with
most
perspicuous
note
of
cruelty
,
omitting
no
violent
action
whereby
he
might
enlarge
his
dominions
;
incroching
vpon
other
mens
gouerments
,
through
a
thirstie
and
ambitious
desire
of
renowne
,
without
either
respect
of
equitie
or
humanitie
.
And
to
adde
euill
to
euill
,
committed
many
outrages
vpon
such
as
were
accounted
good
men
,
and
the
Priests
of
the
great
God
Iehouah
,
from
whence
there
grew
in
him
a
more
than
humane
resolution
,
accounting
himselfe
in
this
world
a
god
,
and
through
this
opinion
grew
into
contempt
of
all
good
things
;
compelling
such
as
were
his
subjects
and
vassals
to
do
him
worship
and
reuerence
,
as
to
a
diuine
power
;
which
,
being
ingraffed
into
the
hearts
of
such
as
followed
in
succeeding
ages
,
they
countenanced
it
with
authority
:
from
whence
it
came
to
passe
,
that
he
was
inrolled
into
the
number
of
their
principall
gods
,
giuing
him
the
name
of
Saturne
,
whom
the
Hebrewes
calleth
Sudormin
,
which
elegantly
imployeth
Saturne
.
Berosus
saith
,
that
the
Babylonian
Iupiter
succeeded
this
Nimrod
,
whose
authoritie
I
am
willing
to
follow
to
auoid
prolixitie
.
This
man
so
much
inlarged
the
Citie
,
that
many
in
succeeding
ages
haue
attributed
the
foundation
thereof
vnto
him
.
He
ruled
ouer
it
sixtie
and
one
yeares
.
After
him
succeeded
Ninus
,
or
as
some
will
haue
it
Nimrod
the
second
,
who
began
his
raigne
Anno
mundi
,
1909
,
before
Christ
,
2061
:
he
did
many
worthy
acts
during
his
life
,
and
added
to
the
Empire
of
Babylon
many
Prouinces
;
and
after
hee
had
raigned
50
yeares
,
dyed
,
and
was
buried
in
Babylon
.
After
him
succeeded
Semiramis
his
wife
,
who
tooke
vpon
her
the
gouernement
of
the
Assirian
Empire
,
her
sonne
Ninus
being
then
within
age
;
and
she
began
her
gouernment
Anno
mundi
,
1959
,
before
Christ
,
2009.
Shee
was
one
of
the
manliest
and
resolute
women
that
we
reade
of
,
and
performed
as
many
worthy
and
memorable
actions
.
This
Queene
built
her
sepulchre
ouer
the
most
eminent
gate
of
Babylon
,
in
a
publike
and
perspicuous
place
,
vpon
which
shee
caused
to
be
written
in
golden
letters
,
If
there
be
any
King
of
Babylon
that
shall
come
after
me
,
and
stand
in
need
of
mony
,
let
him
open
this
sepulchre
,
and
whatsoeuer
he
wanteth
hee
shall
finde
:
but
before
,
it
will
not
be
good
for
him
to
touch
it
.
This
notwithstanding
,
it
continued
till
the
raigne
of
Darius
,
who
opened
this
monument
in
hope
to
finde
what
the
superscription
imported
;
but
no
money
was
there
to
bee
had
,
onely
within
might
plainely
be
seene
engrauen
other
letters
,
to
this
effect
:
Vnlesse
thou
hadst
beene
vnsatiably
couetous
,
thou
wouldest
neuer
haue
opened
the
graues
of
the
dead
in
hope
of
gaine
.
This
woman
beautified
Babylon
with
many
goodly
buildings
,
built
vp
the
walles
thereof
,
set
a
bridge
ouer
Euphrates
,
made
a
beautifull
Orchard
and
a
Garden
in
it
,
beautified
it
with
many
goodly
Towers
and
fortifications
,
added
vnto
it
many
prouinces
and
gouernments
:
and
after
all
,
because
of
her
owne
lasciuious
appetite
(
as
Sallust
saith
)
was
murthered
by
her
son
Ninus
,
who
succeeded
her
in
the
gouernment
.
There
were
many
other
memorable
things
within
this
Citie
,
that
were
built
before
and
after
her
time
(
as
Herodotus
saith
)
as
that
great
and
mighty
tower
before
remembred
,
in
which
stood
the
temple
of
Baelus
,
and
his
sepulchre
.
Not
far
from
that
stood
a
chappell
,
wherein
was
the
statue
of
Iupiter
all
of
pure
gold
,
worth
[
*
](A17140-e79500-b)
*
What
this
was
in
our
mony
you
may
see
after
.
800
talents
of
gold
.
Without
that
chappell
there
stood
an
altar
of
pure
gold
,
vpon
which
they
yearely
offered
100000
talents
of
frankincense
.
There
was
another
also
somwhat
lesse
,
vpon
which
they
vsed
to
offer
their
sacrifices
;
for
it
was
not
lawfull
for
them
to
offer
any
thing
that
had
life
vpon
the
greater
altar
:
there
stood
also
in
that
place
another
statue
twelue
cubits
high
,
all
of
pure
gold
.
This
City
was
after
taken
by
Cyrus
the
first
Emperour
of
the
Persians
,
Anno
mundi
3432.
before
Christ
536.
in
the
seuentieth
yeare
after
the
Captiuitie
of
Israel
and
Iudah
,
according
to
the
prophecie
of
Ieremy
;
at
which
time
the
City
was
so
great
,
that
they
which
dwelt
in
the
middle
of
it
did
not
know
that
the
Enemie
had
entred
within
the
walls
at
the
further
end
:
which
might
happen
,
because
vpon
that
day
when
it
was
taken
the
Babylonians
celebrated
a
Feast
vnto
Venus
,
in
which
vsing
extraordinarie
diligence
,
they
were
lesse
mindfull
of
such
things
as
hapned
vnto
them
.
Thus
this
City
,
that
with
great
tyranny
had
triumphed
ouer
the
Nations
of
the
earth
for
the
space
of
1600
yeares
(
being
so
plentifully
furnished
with
all
things
necessary
for
the
maintenance
of
life
,
that
the
inhabitants
therof
contemned
al
other
people
)
was
by
Gods
permission
,
for
their
pride
and
presumption
,
wasted
and
consumed
by
Cyrus
,
as
you
haue
heard
:
and
shortly
after
vtterly
destroyed
by
Xerxes
,
the
fourth
Emperor
of
the
Persians
,
and
so
continueth
to
this
day
,
as
Strabo
saith
.
Where
then
,
ô
world
,
is
thy
prosperitie
?
or
Riches
,
thy
glory
?
since
in
the
one
thou
art
consumed
,
in
the
other
left
desolate
.
Of
the
ruines
of
old
Babylon
that
are
extant
at
this
day
.
BAbylon
(
which
as
you
haue
heard
reigned
ouer
the
Nations
of
the
earth
like
a
Queen
)
at
this
day
hath
nothing
to
present
you
withall
but
an
heap
of
stones
;
out
of
the
ruins
whereof
there
was
built
a
little
towne
close
by
where
it
stood
,
called
Elugo
,
or
Felugo
,
scituated
vpon
the
banke
of
the
riuer
Euphrates
.
Not
far
from
which
it
seemes
there
is
a
profitable
harbor
for
ships
,
where
Merchants
oftentimes
go
a
shore
,
and
trauell
thence
through
many
Woods
and
desart
places
,
vnto
Seleucia
,
which
at
this
day
is
called
by
the
Turks
Bagdeth
,
distant
thence
some
36
miles
,
and
is
the
vtmost
towne
of
the
Turkish
and
Persian
Empires
towards
the
East
,
being
diuided
in
the
midst
by
the
riuer
Tygris
.
Some
Merchants
haue
reported
,
That
the
place
where
Babylon
stood
is
become
stony
,
vnfruitfull
,
and
vnpleasant
,
because
of
the
ruines
of
the
destroyed
buildings
which
lie
in
the
earth
.
Also
,
That
there
is
found
a
tower
built
of
a
blacke
stone
,
which
to
outward
appearance
seemes
to
haue
bin
a
very
goodly
house
high
and
eminent
;
so
that
vpon
the
top
thereof
a
man
might
haue
seen
through
the
whole
city
.
This
tower
the
Inhabitants
of
Felugo
call
the
tower
of
Daniel
,
in
which
was
the
chamber
where
hee
vsed
to
pray
vnto
the
Lord
three
times
a
day
,
the
windowes
whereof
looked
toward
Ierusalem
,
Dan.
6.
There
is
also
to
be
seene
diuers
arches
of
the
bridge
which
Semiramis
built
,
standing
vpon
the
riuer
Euphrates
,
and
the
foundation
of
the
great
tower
whose
top
should
haue
reached
to
heauen
;
being
in
compasse
two
miles
,
but
not
very
high
.
Within
the
ruines
whereof
are
found
certaine
serpents
very
noisome
and
venomous
,
about
the
bignesse
of
a
Lizard
,
hauing
three
heads
,
and
spect
with
diuers
colours
,
which
the
inhabitants
call
Eglones
.
There
are
such
a
multitude
of
them
,
that
no
man
dares
approch
within
halfe
a
mile
of
it
at
any
time
but
in
the
Winter
season
,
nor
then
neither
but
for
the
space
of
a
moneth
;
in
which
time
these
serpents
for
the
extremitie
of
the
cold
are
constrained
to
keep
their
holes
.
Thus
as
this
Tower
was
hatefull
vnto
God
in
the
beginning
,
so
likewise
hath
hee
made
it
hurtfull
vnto
man
euen
to
this
day
.
The
Trauels
of
the
Babylonian
and
Assyrian
Kings
and
Emperours
that
fought
against
Israel
and
Iudah
.
And
first
of
Phul
Belochus
King
of
Assyria
.
PHul
Belochus
(
that
is
,
He
returned
wasting
)
began
to
reign
among
the
Babylonians
An.
mundi
3149.
before
Christ
819
,
and
gouerned
48
yeares
.
This
King
or
Emperour
came
from
Babylon
to
Samaria
,
which
was
660
miles
.
There
he
so
streightly
besieged
Menahem
King
of
Israel
,
that
he
was
constrained
to
giue
him

1000
talents
of
siluer
to
raise
his
siege
and
depart
,
2
Reg.
15.
From
Samaria
he
returned
back
again
to
Babylon
,
660
miles
.
So
all
the
trauels
of
Phul
Belochus
were
1320
miles
.
The
Trauels
of
TIGLAT
PHVLASSER
King
of
the
Assyrians
.
TIglat
Phulasser
signifies
,
The
Assyrian
Conquerour
.
He
was
also
called
Tiglath
Philasser
,
2
Reg.
15.
which
name
is
attributed
to
him
either
because
he
caried
away
the
children
of
Israel
captiue
,
or
else
because
of
the
conquest
that
he
had
of
all
Galile
,
and
ouer
the
tribe
of
Nepthali
,
which
he
carried
into
Assyria
.
Hee
succeeded
his
father
Phul
Belochus
in
the
gouernment
of
the
Assyrians
,
An.
Mun.
3197.
before
Christ
771.
and
reigned
25
yeares
.
When
Resin
King
of
the
Assyrians
(
ioyning
his
army
with
Pekah
son
of
Remalia
King
of
Israel
)
had
streightly
besiege
Ierusalem
,
Ahas
was
constrained
to
craue
aid
of
this
Tiglath
Phulasser
,
&
sent
him
great
presents
,
which
he
accepted
kindly
,
&
brought
his
arm
from
Niniveh
to
Damascus
,
520
miles
,
where
he
put
Resin
and
the
whole
city
to
the
sword
,
2
Reg.
16.
From
Damascus
he
came
with
his
army
into
the
land
of
Israel
,
which
was
120
miles
,
where
he
ouercame
Pekah
in
a
great
battell
,
conquered
all
the
land
of
Gilead
and
the
tribe
of
Nepthaly
,
and
put
a
great
multitude
of
the
Israelites
into
perpetuall
exile
,
2
Reg.
15.
From
thence
he
went
backe
to
Niniueh
,
640
miles
.
A
little
after
this
,
King
Tiglath
Philasser
went
from
Ninive
to
Ierusalem
,
680
miles
,
where
hee
so
streitly
besieged
that
wicked
King
Ahas
,
that
he
was
constrained
to
giue
him
great
abundance
of
gold
and
siluer
to
raise
his
siege
and
be
gon
,
2
Chr.
28.
From
Ierusalem
he
returned
back
to
Ninive
,
being
680
miles
.
So
all
his
trauels
were
6640
miles
.

The
Trauels
of

SALMANASSER

SAlmanasser
signifieth
,
The
Assyrian
Peace-maker
.
This
man
Ptolomaeus
(
that
excellent
Mathematician
)
calleth
Nabonassarus
,
that
is
,
the
Prophet
of
the
Assyrians
.
He
began
to
reign
vpon
the
26
of
February
,
An.
mundi
3221
,
before
Christ
747
,
and
reigned
ten
yeares
or
thereabout
.
This
man
went
with
his
army
from
Ninive
to
Samaria
,
being
652
miles
,
where
hee
compelled
Hosea
the
last
King
of
Israel
to
pay
him
tribute
,
2
Reg.
16.
From
thence
he
returned
backe
again
with
his
army
to
Niniveh
,
652
miles
.
After
,
when
Hosea
K.
of
Israel
(
conspiring
with
So
K.
of
Egypt
)
denied
to
pay
him
tribute
,
hee
returned
backe
againe
the
second
time
to
Samaria
,
which
was
652
miles
,
and
after
3
yeres
siege
he
tooke
and
destroied
it
with
fire
and
sword
,
and
conquered
all
the
country
round
about
.
From
Samaria
he
returned
back
again
to
Niniveh
,
652
miles
.
So
all
the
trauels
of
Salmanasser
King
of
the
Assyrians
were
2608
miles
.
The
Trauels
of
SENACHARIB
King
of
the
Assyrians
.
SEnacharib
,
as
Melancthon
expounds
it
,
signifieth
a
two
edged
Sword
.
He
succeeded
his
father
Salmanasser
,
Ann.
M.
3231.
before
Christ
737.
He
reigned
7
years
.
This
man
,
imitating
his
father
,
endeauored
to
cary
away
the
rest
of
Gods
people
into
captiuitie
:
for
which
purpose
he
brought
an
army
from
Niniveh
to
Lachis
,
which
was
700
miles
,
which
town
he
besieged
,
&
sent
his
Princes
to
Ieresalem
,
beeing
20
miles
,
where
hee
blasphemed
the
Lord
:
of
which
you
may
reade
more
in
the
historie
of
King
Hezekiah
.
From
Lachis
hee
went
to
Libnah
,
8
miles
.
This
was
a
strong
Hold
,
but
he
besieged
it
so
narrowly
,
that
within
a
while
after
he
had
begun
the
siege
,
he
tooke
it
.
While
he
was
before
this
town
there
came
newes
,
That
Taracha
a
King
of
the
Ethiopians
had
inuaded
his
country
.
Wherefore
he
sent
the
second
time
messengers
to
Ierusalem
.
But
the
Lord
was
offended
with
their
blasphemie
,
wherefore
hee
sent
his
Angell
,
who
in
one
night
destroyed
185000
of
his
army
.
This
sudden
and
vnexpected
euill
falling
upon
him
,
in
a
great
feare
he
returned
to
Niniveh
,
692
miles
,
where
he
was
slain
by
his
sons
in
the
Temple
.
The
same
of
these
things
was
so
divulged
abroad
,
that
Herodotus
,
lib.
2.
makes
mention
of
them
.
So
these
three
journies
make
1400
miles
.
Of
Lachis
and
Libnah
you
may
reade
before
.
Of
Assarhaddon
King
of
the
Assyrians
.
ASsarhaddon
(
his
father
Senacharib
being
slaine
)
succeeded
in
the
gouernment
,
An.
mundi
3238
,
which
agreeth
with
the
730
yeare
before
Christ
,
and
reigned
ten
yeares
in
Niniveh
the
chiefe
city
of
the
Assyrians
.
Here
again
the
mutation
&
change
of
Kingdoms
may
be
obserued
;
for
Merodach
a
Chaldaean
rebelling
against
Senacharib
,
continued
his

MErodach

A

He
was
the
sonne

Baladan
Prince
of
Babylon
,
who
ruled
at
such
time
as
Senacharib
had
that
grieuous
ouerthrow
in
Iudah
.
Wherefore
taking
aduantage
of
the
time
,
and
the
necessitie
of
that
Prince
,
he
rebelled
against
him
and
his
son
Assarhaddon
,
taking
vpon
him
the
absolute

iust
in
that
yeare
when
the
Sun
went
backe
ten
degrees
,
to
know
the
truth
of
this
miracle
.
For
it
was
a
custome
amongst
the
Nations
round
about
Ierusalem
(
if
any
thing
hapned
beyond
the
expectation
of
man
)
to
send

to
enquire

truth
thereof
.
Such
and
so

esteemed
in

Not

he
caused

they
refused

Also
this
Nebuchadnesar
for
his
great
pride

arrogancie
,
was
by
God
strucken
mad
,

into
a
deepe
melancholy
,
in
which
disease
hee
continued
for
the
space
of
seuen

,
tyed
in
bonds

chaines
,
running
vp

downe
like
a

feeding
vpon

vntill
he
came
to
vnderstand
,
That
God

Gouernour
of
Heauen

had
the
disposing
of
Kingdoms
and
Gouernments
,
giuing
them
to
whom
he
list

and
againe
taking
them
away

At
the
end
of
which
time
he
was
restored
to
his
vnderstanding

after
beautified

Whence
it
is
concluded
by
most
,
That
this
Emperor
did
also
embrace
the
doctrine
of
Daniel
,
concerning
the
true
God
,
as
did
Nebuchadonesar
his
father
;
who
had
before
by
publique
Edict
professed
it
to
the
whole
State
,
&
caused
it
to
be
published
through
his
dominions
,
and
therfore
shewed
fauor
and
mercy
toward
King
Iechonias
.
And
from
thence
it
is
thought
,
that
those
which
were
impious
princes
about
him
,
called
him
Amelinus
,
that
is
,
the
Circumcised
,
being
deriued

signifies
,
to

Labynitus

This
man
,
as
he
was
celebrating
a
great
feast
vnto
Venus
(
whom
they
call
in
the
Assirian
tongue
Myleta
)
amongst
a
great
multitude
of

,
and
in

extraordinary
excesse
and
blasphemy
against

In

he
saw

Some
say
,
That
at
this
very
time
the
city
was
taken
by
Cyrus
Emperour
of
the
Persians
,
and
he
put
to
the
sword
in
those
sports
&
pastimes
.
But
certain
it
is
that
he
was
slain
at
a
banquet
,
lost
his
empire
,
and
was
the
last
of
the
Assyrian
Emperors
:
but
whether
at
that
time
,
I
refer
it
to
the
opinion
of
the
Reader
.
¶
The
Trauels
of
the
Kings
of
Aegypt
that
fought
against
of
Iudah
.
And
first
of
SISACK
,
who
made
war
vpon
Rehoboam
the
sonne
of
Solomon
.
THat
proud
and
presumptuous
Prince
Sisack
(
which
signifies
a
Garment
of
Silke
)
in
the
last
yeare
of
his
regne
(
which
was
the
first
of
Rehoboam
the
sonne
of
Solomon
)
came
with
1200
Chariots
and
60000
Horse
,
from
Memphis
to
Ierusalem
,
which
was
244
miles
;
bringing
in
his
Army
a
great
multitude
of
people
of
diuers
Nations
,
as
Lybians
,
Ethiopians
,
&c.
With
this
company
he
besieged
Ierusalem
and
tooke
it
,
wasted
the
city
,
spoiled
the
Temple
,
and
tooke
thence
the
golden
shields
which
Solomon
had
made
,
and
destroyed
that
faire
and
beautifull
house
which
Solomon
had
built
.
From
whence
that
saying
of
his
owne
was
verified
,
Eccles.
That
it
is
a
great
euill
vpon
the
earth
,
for
a
man
to
take
care
to
lay
vp
riches
and
treasures
in
this
world
,
yet
knoweth
not
who
shall
inherit
it
.
For
those
things
which
a
little
before
hee
had
with
great
labour
and
paines
builded
and
beautified
,
within
lesse
than
20
yeares
after
were
destroyed
and
made
desolate
by
this
King
.
From
Ierusalem
Sisack
returned
with
the
spoiles
of
the
temple
and
city
,
to
Memphis
in
Egypt
,
which
was
244
miles
:
and
in
the
yeare
following
he
was
stricken
by
the
Lord
with
a
grieuous
disease
,
of
which
he
died
miserably
.
So
these
two
journies
were
488
miles
.
The
Trauels
of
PHARAOH
NECHO
King
of
Aegypt
,
who
made
warre
vpon
IOSIAH
King
of
Iudah
.
NEcho
signifies
an
Enemy
or
Inuader
.
This
man
was
one
of
the
greatest
of
all
the
Egyptian
Kings
,
who
in
the
thirteenth
yeare
of
his
reigne
made
war
vpon
Nebuchadnezar
the
first
,
and
in
the
valley
of
Megiddo
,
neere
to
Magdala
,
which
was
244
miles
from
Memphis
,
fought
a
great
battell
,
wherein
Iosiah
King
of
Iudah
was
wounded
to
the
death
.
From
the
valley
of
Megiddo
Pharaoh
Necho
went
to
the
Riuer
Euphrates
,
which
was
360
miles
,
where
he
fought
a
second
battel
with
Nebuchadnezar
vpon
a
plaine
neere
to
Carchemis
,
where
hee
lost
the
day
and
was
put
to
flight
.
From
Carchemis
he
fled
to
Riblah
in
the
land
of
Israel
,
which
was
320
miles
;
where
in
the
land
of
Chaemath
,
neere
to
the
lake
Samachonites
,
he
ouercame
Ioachas
King
of
Iudah
,
and
took
him
prisoner
.
From
Riblah
Pharaoh
Necho
led
Ioachas
bound
to
Ierusalem
,
being
80
miles
,
and
made
Ioachim
his
brother
King
in
his
place
.
From
Ierusalem
he
returned
to
Memphis
,
240
miles
.
Within
four
years
after
he
went
the
second
time
with
a
great
army
from
Memphis
to
the
riuer
of
Euphrates
,
which
was
640
miles
.
But
there
he
was
the
second
time
ouercome
by
Nebuchadnesar
,
and
constrained
to
fly
thence
back
again
to
Memphis
in
Aegypt
,
being
640
miles
.
But
Nebuchadnesar
followed
him
with
an
army
of
chosen
men
,
and
conquered
all
Aegypt
,
tooke
Pharaoh
Necho
,
and
made
his
sonne
Psammeticus
King
in
his
place
,
who
was
the
second
of
that
name
.
Of
this
battell
there
is
mention
,
Ier.
ca.
25
,
&
26.
So
all
the
trauels
of
Pharaoh
Necho
were
1524
miles
.
The
Trauels
of
the
holy
Prophets
,
and
first
of
the
Prophet
ELIAH
.
ELiah
the
Prophet
went
from
This
be
(
which
was
in
the
land
of
Gilead
)
to
Samaria
,
24
miles
,
where
he
told
the
wicked
King
Ahab
,
that
there
should
bee
neither
rain
nor
dew
for
the
space
of
7
years
,
1

From
Samaria
he
went
to
the
riuer
Kerith
,
24
miles
,
where
hee
was
fed
by
a
Rauen.
From
Kerith
hee
went
to
Sarepta
,
which
was
100
miles
,
where
he
sojorned
with
a
poor
widow
that
found
him
necessaries
,
whose
sun
he
restored
to
life
,
1
Reg.
17.
From
Sarepta
he
went
to
Mount
Carmel
in
the
land
of
Israel
,
being
60
miles
;
and
by
the
way
as
he
went
he
met
Obediah
(
which
signifieth
,
The
Seruant
of
the
Lord
)
and
King
Ahab
,
whom
he
rebuked
sharply
because
of
his
idolatry
.
Also
vpon
this
mountaine
he
put
all
Baals
Priests
to
death
,
and
prayed
vnto
the
Lord
,
who
sent
rain
vpon
the
earth
in
great
aboundance
,
1
Reg.
18.
From
Mount
Carmel
he
ran
by
King
Ahabs
chariot
to
Iesreel
which
was
accounted
16
miles
.
After
,
when
Queene
Iesabel
threatned
his
death
,
hee
departed
thence
,
and
went
to
Beersaba
,
84
miles
,
1
Reg.
19.
From
Beersaba
he
went
one
daies
journy
into
the
wildernes
of
Paran
,
because
hee
thought
to
remaine
there
safe
from
the
mischiefe
of
Iesabel
,
which
was
20
miles
from
Beersaba
Southward
.
Here
the
Angell
of
the
Lord
brought
him
meat
as
he
was
sitting
vnder
a
Iuniper
tree
,
1
Reg.
19.
By
vertue
of
this
meat
Eliah
trauelled
from
thence
to
Mount
Horeb
or
Sinai
,
80
miles
,
and
continued
there
40
daies
and
forty
nights
without
meat
or
drinke
.
There
the
Lord
spake
to
Eliah
as
hee
stood
in
the
entrance
of
a
caue
,
his
face
being
couered
with
his
mantle
,
1
Reg.

From
the
mount
Sinai
or
Horeb
he
returned
to
Abel-Mehola
,
which
was
156

where
hee
called

:
there
in
the
vineyard
of
Naboth
(
who
Iezabel
caused
to
be
stoned
to
death
)
he
sharply
reprehended
Ahab
for
his
impiety
and
idolatry
,
1
Reg.
21.
From
Iezreel
he
returned
back
again
to
his
own
house
to
Carmel
,
which
was
16
miles
.
From
thence
he
went
to
Samaria
,
which
was
32
miles
,
where
he
answered
the
seruants
of
King
Ahaziah
,
whom
he
had
sent
to
enquire
of
Baalzebub
the
idoll
of
Ekron
,
concerning
his
health
,
saying
,
Go
and
tel
your
master
that

,
That
the
God
of
Israel
saith
,
Because
thou
hast
sent
to
aske
counsel
of
Baalzebub
the
idol
of
Ekron
,
and
thinkest
there
is
no
God
in

therefore
thou
shalt
not
rise
off
the
bed
whereon
thou
liest
,
but
shalt
surely
die
.

Soone
after
,
Elias
returned
to
Mount
Carmel
,
which
was
32
miles
,
where
the
two
Captaines
with
their
Companies
of
fifty
that
were
sent
to
take
him
,
were
consumed
with
fire
from
heauen
,
1

From

he
went
to

with
the
third
Cap.
32

,
where
hee
prophecied
of
the
death
of
King

,

From
Samaria
hee
returned
backe
againe
to
Mount

,
32

.
From
thence
he
went
to
Gilgal
,

From
Gilgal
he
went
with

From

From

hee
and
Elizeus
went
to
Iordan
,
which
was
sixe
miles
,
through
which
riuer
they
went
vpon
dry
ground
.
Now
as
they
were
speaking
one
to
another
,
vpon
the
East
side
of
the
riuer
behold
a
fiery
chariot
came
with
fiery
horses
and
tooke
Elias
vp
aliue

So
all
the
Trauels
of
Eliah
the
Prophet
were
1033
miles
.
Of
the
Cities
and
places
to
which
he
trauelled

Of

IN
this
towne
the

Eliah
was
borne

it
being
scituated
in
the
land
of
Gilead
beyond
Iordan
,
48
miles
from
Ierusalem

It

Of

THe

and
so
passing
along
towards

,
falleth
into

Iordan
,
1

The
Kerethites
were
such
as
garded
the
person
of
the
King
,
which
in
the
Prophet
Dauids
time
were
called
mighty
men
;
taking
their
name
from
striking

being
deriued
of
Charath

he
hath
smitten

or
cut

Of
Zarpath

or
Sarepta

THis
was
a
Citie
of
the
Sidonians
,
where
they
found
much
mettall
of
diuers
kindes
;
lying
betweene
Tyrus

112

and
taketh
the
name
from
Zoraph

which
signifies
,
To
trie

burne

fire
.
There
is
at
this
time
but
eight
houses
in
all
the
towne
,
although
by
the
ruines
it
seemeth
to
haue
beene

a
very

The
inhabitants
thereof
take
vpon
them
to

the

Elias
the

sometimes
liued

Before

by
which
may
be
gathered
,
that
in

it
hath
beene
a
very
beautifull
citie
.
It
seemeth
to
haue
taken
the
name
from
a
great
Lamentation
or
Mourning
:
for
Abel
signifieth
To

and

A

The
typicall
signification
of
ELIAS

ELias
,
according
to
the
interpretation
of
Saint
Ierome
,
signifies
the
minister
of
Iehouah
:
but
as
others
would
haue
it
,
Eliah
is
as
much
as
my

Iehouah

He
was
a

in

,
that

From
Iordan
he
went
to
Dothan
,
where
the
children
of
Iacob
sould
their
brother
Ioseph
to
the
Midianites
,
which
was

here
the

compassed
him

which
was

and
deliuered
them

vpon

should
giue

being

of

that
is
,
God
;
and
Iaschag
,
He
hath
saued
:
from
hence
Iesus
,
a
Sauiour
;
because
this
Prophet
was
a
notable
type
of
our
Sauiour
Iesus
Christ
:
for
as
Elisha
was
annointed
Priest
by
the
Prophet
Eliah
;
so
Christ
was
the
annointed
Priest
of
the
father
:
and
as
Elisha
did
many
workes
of
mercy
and
myracles
,
to
make
euident
Gods
power
and
prouidence
;
so
our
Sauiour
Christ
went
from
place
to
place
,
shewing
mercy
to
the
blind
,
lame
,
and
impotent
,
vpon
them
working
wonderfull
miracles
,
that
thereby
his
Doctrine
might
be
made
euident
to
the
World
,
and
all
such
as
trust
in
him
be
made
capable
of
eternall
happinesse

Of
the
Prophet
Isaiah
or
Iesaia
.
IEsaia
,
or
Ieschaia
,
is
all
one
in
signification
with
Elisha
,
that
is
,
a
Sauiour
.
He
was
the
sonne
of
Amos
(
which
signifieth
,
strength
)
and
by
consequence
Ozia
King
of
Iudah
was
his
cosin-german
,
as
may
appeare
by
this
Genealogie
following
.
Ioas
King
of
Iuda
.
-
Amasiah
King
of
Iuda
.
-
Ozias
King
of

-

King
of

.
-
Ahas
King
of

.
-
Ezekias
King

-

King
of

.
-
Isaias
had
two
daughters
,
-
Sear

that
is
,
the
rest
remaining
:
and
was
a
signe
of
the
rest
of
the
posteritie
of
Iuda
that
should
remaine
and
dwell
there
,
Isa.

-
Mahez
Schatal
,
that
is
,
a
sudden
destruction
:
for
this
2d
daughter
of
Isay
did
denote
the
immediat
desolation
of
the
kingdomes
of
Syria
and
Samaria
.
From
whence
it
plainely
appeareth
,
that
the
Prophet
Esaias
was
of
the
stocke
of
Dauid
,
and
linage
of
Christ
;
for
which
cause
in
the
fifth
chapter
of
his
prophecie
,
he
calleth
him
his
beloued
.
He
began
to
teach
publiquely
in
the
yeare
of
the
World
,
3167
,
and
before
Christ
800
,
and
gouerned
the
Church
eighty
yeares
and
more
,
vntill
the
time
of
Manasses
,
who
caused
him
to
be
cut
in
pieces
with
a
saw
.
In
anno
mundi
3190
:
before
Christ
,
778
,
Isay
saw
the
Lord
sitting
vpon
a
high
throne
in
great
majestie
,
the
lower
part
whereof
filled
the
Temple
,
and
the
Saraphins
compassed
him
round
about
.
Esa.

Cherubins
are
glorious
and
bright
shining
Angels
,
of
a
fiery
nature
:
For
Saraph
signifieth
,
He
hath
turned
to
fire
.
His
doctrine
was
two
fold
,
that
is
,
partly
concerning
the
Law
,
partly
the
Gospell
,
as
may
appeare
by
his
prophecie
:
in
the
first
forty
chapters
whereof
,
the
doctrine
of
the
law
is
set
forth
with
sharpe
reprehensions
for
sinne
:
in
the
first
foure
of
which
,
are
grieuous
accusations
of
sinners
for
breach
of
the
first
commandement
;
the
other
for
the
most
part
prophecie
of
horrible
punishments
,
mutations
,
and
change
of
gouernement
;
but
principally
,
of
the
Iewes
,
Babylonians
,
Assirians
,
Syrians
,
and
Aegyptians
.
From
the
fortieth
to
the
end
of
the
booke
is
contained
the
doctrine
of
the
Gospell
,
and
of
the
Kingdome
of
our
Sauiour
Iesus
Christ
;
which
hee
hath
set
forth
with
such
excellent
eloquence
,
figures
,
and
amplifications
,
that
hee
may
be
compared
with
the
best
Orator
that
euer
wrote
.
The
Trauels
of
the
Prophet
Ieremias
.
IEremias
or
Ieremiah
,
signifieth
,
The
exalted
of
the
Lord
:
he
was
borne
in
the
Tribe
of
Benjamin
,
in
a
Citie
of
the
Priests
called
Anathoth
,
and
from
thence
came
to
Ierusalem
,
which
was
two
miles
,
and
continued
there
for
40
yeares
,
teaching
and
prophecying
.
From
Ierusalem
he
was
sent
to
Euphrates
,
where
in
the
cliffe
of
a
rocke
he
hid
his
girdle
,
Ier.
13.
which
was
400
miles
.
From
the
riuer
Euphrates
,
he
returned
backe
againe
to
Ierusalem
,
400
miles
,
A
little
after
,
the
Lord
sent
him
backe
againe
to
Euphrates
,
(
400
miles
)
to
fetch
his
girdle
,
and
loe
it
was
putrified
.
From
thence
he
returned
backe
againe
the
second
time
to
Ierusalem
,
400
miles
.
From
Ierusalem
he
was
led
captiue
bound
in
chaines
with
other
prisoners
to
Ramath
,
a
citie
in
mount
Ephraim
,
which
was
eight
miles
:
there
Nabusaraden
the
chiefe
captaine
caused
him
to
be
set
at
liberty
.
From
Ramath
he
went
to
Mispah
,
which
is
8
miles
:
where
he
continued
a
while
with
Gediliah
Prince
of
the
Iewes
,
which
man
had
the
chiefe
command
of
certaine
cities
of
Iudaea
vnder
Nabuchadnezzer
.
But
in
the
seuenth
yeare
of
the
captiuitie
of
the
people
of
Israel
,
Ishmael
that
was
of
the
stocke
and
progenie
of
Dauid
(
hoping
to
obtaine
the
gouernement
of
Iuda
)
made
warre
vpon
Gediliah
,
and
put
him
to
death
;
wherefore
Ieremy
went
from
thence
with
Iohn
the
son
of
Kareach
,
Prince
of
the
Iewes
,
to
Bethlem
Euphrata
,
which
was
8
miles
,
Ier.
41.
Now
when
he
had
staied
a
while
in
a
village
neere
Bethlem
called
Geruth
Ghimeham
were
sometime
Chimeham
the
sonne
of
Barzillai
liued
,
2
Sam.
19.
hee
prophecied
,
saying
,
If
you
stay
in
this
land
you
shall
do
well
,
neither
shall
any
euill
hap
vnto
you
;
but
if
you
depart
hence
into
Aegypt
,
they
shall
deuoure
you
with
famine
and
with
the
sword
,
Ier.
42.
But
Iohn
and
the
rest
of
the
Princes
would
giue
no
credit
to
the
words
of
Ieremy
,
but
went
into
Aegypt
,
and
compelled
the
Prophet
to
goe
along
with
them
:
so
they
went
from
Bethlehem
to
Tachpanes
,
which
was
172
miles
.
Here
the
second
time
Ieremie
prophecied
vnto
them
,
saying
,
Behold
,
Nabuchadnezzer
shall
come
hither
and
wast
and
destroy
all
the
countrey
of
Aegypt
,
beat
downe
the
Images
of
Bethsemes
,
(
or
Heliopolis
)
and
carry
away
the
Aegyptians
into
perpetuall
captiuity
,
Ier.
43.
But
the
people
of
Israel
being
moued
to
anger
because
of
his
words
,
stoned
him
to
death
.
So
the
Trauels
of
the
Prophet
Ieremiah
were
1786
miles
.
Concerning
the
townes
and
places
mentioned
in
the
Trauels
of
this
Prophet
you
may
reade
of
them
before
,
except
Geruth
.
Chimeham
,
which
stood
close
by
Bethlehem
:
it
taketh
the
name
from
a
stranger
,
or
traueller
;
being
deriued
of
Gor
,
which
signifieth
,
He
hath
trauelled
;
and
Tachpanes
,
which
was
a
Citie
of
Aegypt
,
some
180
miles
from
Ierusalem
;
where
the
Prophet
Ieremy
was
stoned
to
death
;
it
is
oftentimes
called
by
the
name
of
Taphnis
.
The

of
Vrijah
the
Prophet
.
VRias
,

He
was
borne
at

towards
the
West
:
from
thence
he
came
to
Ierusalem
,
and
there
prophecied
of
the
destruction
of
the
Citie
.
After
,
when
King
Ioachim
went
about
to
take
away
his
life
,
he
fled
thence
into
Aegypt
,
160
miles
.
But
the
king
sent
messengers
into
Aegipt
&
fetcht
Vrijah
back
againe
to
Ierusalem
,
160
miles
,
and
there
cut
off
his
head
,
and
caused
his
body
to
be
throwne
into
the
sepulchre
of
a
poore
despised
man
,
that
it
might
not
be
knowne
that
he
had
beene
a
Prophet
of
the
Lord
.
So
all
his
trauels
were
321
miles
.
Of
Hananias
the
false
Prophet
.
HAnanias
or
Chanania
signifieth
,
the
grace
of

.
This
false
Prophet
was
a
Gibeonite
,
and
came
from
Gibeon
to
Ierusalem
,
which
was
foure
miles
;
where
he
tooke
the
woodden
yoakes
from
the
necke
of
Ieremiah
the
Prophet
:
but
Ieremiah
caused
yron
yokes
to
be
made
in
their
places
,
and
told
Hananias
that
for
his
falshood
,
that
yere

with
3000
others
of
the
Nobility
of
the
Iewes
from
Ierusalem
to
Babylon
,
which
was
680
miles
the
same
yeare
that
Nebuchadnezzer
put
King
Ioachim
to

:
within
fiue
yeares
after
(
a

)
the
Booke

was
found

He
began
to
prophecie
in
Babylon
,
Anno
mundi
,
3356
,
before
Christ
,
612
;
at
which
time
he
saw
his
first
visions
,
neere
to
the
Riuer
Chebar
.
Of
the
Riuer
Chebar
.
THe
riuer
Chebar
was
neere
Babylon
in
Chaldaea
,
vpon
the
borders
of
Mesopotamia
,
falling
into
Euphrates
;
and
was
oftentimes
called
Aborras
,
according
to
the
opinion
of
many
learned
men
.
Strabo
in
the
seuenteenth
book
of
his
Geography
saith
,
that
there
is
another
riuer
between
Tygris
and
Euphrates
,
called
Basilius
:
Aborras
passeth
along
by
the
citie
of
Athemusia
,
and
is
a
very
faire
streame
,
from
whence
it
is
called
Chebar
,
which
signifies
,
a
swift
and
spacious
riuer
.
Neere
to
this
riuer
the
Prophet
Ezekiel
saw
the
Glory
and
Majestie
of
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
in
a
bright
shining
cloud
.
In
this
place
also
dwelt
many
Iewes
,
to
whom
hee
prophecied
and
foretold
the
destruction
of
Ierusalem
by
Nebuchadnezzer
,
and
the
captiuitie
of
Zedekiah

In
the
raigne
of
Ioachim
King

he
was
carried
away

from
Ierusalem
to

,
by

and
there
with
his
fellowes
learned
the
Arts

Language
of
the
Chaldaeans
,
for

91

,
vntill
the
third

of
Cyrus
Emperour
of

;
about
which
time
he
saw
his
last
vision
,
and
a
little
after
died
,
when
hee
was
about
110
yeares
of
age
,
as
may
be
gathered
by
the
circumstances
of
Histories
and
times
.
From
Babylon
he
went
to
Susan
in
Persia
,
an

,
being
then
94
yeares
of
age
,
which
was
252
miles
,
where
neere
to
the
flood
Eulaeus
,
hee
had
a
vision
of
a
ram
and
a
goate
;
which
set
forth
the
state
of
the
second
Monarchie
(
which
was
that
of
the
Graecians
.
)
In
this
vision
Gabriel
the
Archangel
,
appeared
to
Daniel
,
Dan.

This
was
in
the
third
yeare
of
King
Balthasar
.
From
Susan
Daniel
returned
to
Babylon
,
which
was
252
miles
;
Here
hee
interpreted
to
Belthasar
the
meaning
of
these
words
,
Men
,
Mene
,
Tekel
Euphrasin
,
Dan.
5.
From
Babylon
he
went
to
the
riuer
Tygris
of
Hidekel
,
which
was
accounted
36
miles
:
here
in
the
third
yeare
of
Cyrus
King
of
Persia
,
he
saw
his
last
vision
,
which
is
described
in
the
10
,
11
,
and
12
chapters
of
his
prophecie
.
From
Tygris
,
he
returned
to
his
own
house
at
Babylon
,
which
was
36
miles
.
Sometimes
also
in
his
three
last
yeares
of
his
life
,
he
vsed
to
goe
to
Egbatan
,
the
Metropolitan
citie
of
the
Medes
,
which
was
accounted
464
miles
from
Babylon
,
towards
the
Northeast
:
Here
Daniel
built
a
faire
and
artificiall
Temple
,
so
strongly
,
that
it
remained
vnperished
,
and
retained
the
ancient
beautie
many
ages
,
to
the
great
admiration
of
all
the
spectators
:
In
it
the
Kings
of
the
Medes
,
Persians
,
and
Parthians
,
were
for
the
most
part
honourably
buried
:
the
gouernement
whereof
was
committed
to
a
Priest
of
the
Iewes
,
as
Iosephus
saith
,
lib.

From
Egbatan
,
he
returned
backe
againe
to
Babylon
,
which
was
464
miles
,
and
there
died
anno
mun
.
●445
,
and
before
Christ
,
533.
So
all
the
trauels
of
the
Prophet
Daniel
were
2184
miles
,
Of
the
places
to
which
he
trauelled
.
Of
Susan
.
SVsa
or
Susan
,
is
so
called
from
a
sweet
smelling
floure
;
but
chiefely
a
Rose
or
a
Lillie
,
because
it
is
scituated
in
a
faire
and
pleasant
place
.
It
was
a
goodly
citie
,
lying
on
both
sides
of
the
riuer
Eulaeus
,
some
200
furlongs
(
that
is
,
25
miles
English
)
about
,
as
Policletus
saith
.
And
of
this
citie
all
the
country
round
about
is
called
Susana
:
bordering
towards
the
North
vpon
Assiria
,
towards
the
West
vpon
Babylon
,
towards
the
South
vpon
the
Gulph
of
Persia
,
and
joyneth
vpon
the
East
part
of
Persia
towards
the
East
.
There
are
but
two
cities
that
are
eminent
in
it
,
that
is
this
,
and
another
called
Tariana
.
The
aire
in
the
Winter
season
is
very
temperate
,
at
which
time
the
earth
bringeth
forth
many
pleasant
floures
and
fruits
;
but
in
the
Summer
it
is
extreme
hot
,
by
which
heate
all
things
are
scorched
and
burned
away
,
and
by
reason
of
the
putrifaction
of
the
aire
(
as
some
think
)
in
that
season
there
doe
breed
toads
,
lyzards
,
and
other
noysome
serpents
in
great
abundance
;
so
that
the
inhabitants
are
constrained
(
partly
because
of
the
heat
,
partly
because
of
the
loathsome
and
dangerous
creatures
)
to
build
their
houses
all
of
earth
,
long
and
narrow
,
the
walls
and
roofes
being
at
least
a
yard
thicke
,
that
so
the
heat
might
not
pierce
through
them
,
or
serpents
breed
in
them
,
Strabo
,
lib.
Geograph.
5.
saith
,
that
one
Tython
(
the
brother
of
Laomedon
king
of
Troy
)
did
first
build
this
citie
,
about
such
time
as
Thola
judged
Israel
.
After
him
his
sonne
Nemmon
beautified
it
with
a
faire
and
goodly
castle
,
calling
it
after
his
own
name
Memnon
.
(
Of
this
man
Homer
speaketh
.
)
This
castle
was
such
a
goodly
thing
,
that
a
long
time
after
his
death
,
the
towne
was
called
Memnon
,
as
Strabo
obserueth
:
but
in
Hester
and
Daniels
times
,
it
was
called
Susa
,
and
the
inhabitants
Susans
.
The
Persian
Emperors
in
those
times
keeping
their
courts
there
for
the
most
part
,
and
did
greatly
beautifie
the
citie
with
faire
buildings
.
The
first
of
these
Emperours
that
liued
here
was
Cyrus
,
who
after
hee
had
conquered
Babylon
,
Assiria
,
and
many
other
Kingdomes
and
countries
lying
neere
to
the
citie
Susa
;
that
he
might
with
more
ease
and
better
safety
retaine
them
in
his
gouernment
,
remoued
his
court
from
Persepolis
(
which
lay
vp
in
the
East
part
of
Persia
)
to
this
towne
,
where
all
the
Winter
season
,
for
the
most
part
,
he
liued
,
and
in
the
Summer
went
to
Egbatan
the
chiefe
citie
of
Media
,
because
there
at
that
season
,
the
aire
was
very
temperate
:
His
successors
after
him
obseruing
the
same
course
for
their
better
conueniencie
,
and
to
make
euident
their
greater
magnificence
,
repaired
the
Castle
of
Memnon
,
joyned
to
it
many
faire
and
goodly
buildings
,
and
close
by
it
planted
a
pleasant
orchard
of
diuerse
and
sundry
sorts
of
trees
and
hearbes
.
It
is
reported
that
the
gate
whereby
they
entred
into
this
orchard
,
was
very
curiously
built
,
supported
with
pillars
of
polished
marble
,
imbossed
with
siluer
and
gold
very
rare
to
looke
vpon
:
ouer
it
was
a
banqueting
house
,
beautified
with
liuely
pictures
,
costly
furniture
and
beds
of
gold
and
siluer
couered
with
rich
tapestry
,
wrought
with
silke
,
siluer
,
and
gold
;
vpon
these
they
vsed
to
eate
their
banquets
:
it
was
paued
with
Porphire
Marble
,
and
Hyacinths
,
in
such
sort
,
as
it
greatly
delighted
such
as
beheld
it
.
The
Queene
had
a
priuate
garden
to
her selfe
.
In
which
were
great
abundance
of
trees
of
diuers
kindes
,
and
many
sweet
floures
and
herbes
:
In
which
garden
Ahashueras
walked
to
qualifie
the
heat
of
his
wrath
ihat
he
had
conceiued
against
that
wicked
and
perfidious
Hamon
,
who
through
enuie
and
ambition
sought
the
destruction
of
the
whole
nation
of
the
Iewes
;
lest
by
giuing
place
vnto
anger
,
he
should
transgresse
the
bounds
of
clemencie
and
justice
:
wherefore
it
becommeth
euery
King
,
Prince
,
and
Iudge
,
to
imitate
the
example
of
this
Emperor
,
who
in
the
heate
of
his
anger
,
would
determine
nothing
of
so
wicked
a
man
:
for
long
and
often
deliberation
becommeth
euery
wise
man
before
he
doth
any
thing
,

Not
farre
from
the
Emperors
pallace
,
in
a
faire
and
pleasant
Garden
,
there
stood
a
colledge
of
the
Magi
,
that
is
,
such
as
the
Persians
accounted
wise
and
learned
men
:
these
were
of
such
account
for
their
knowledge
and
vnderstanding
,
amongst
that
people
,
that
some
of
them
in
succeeding
ages
were
chosen
for
Kings
and
gouernors
in
that
countrie
.
They
studied
for
the
most
part
the
Mathematickes
History
,
Philosophie
,
and
Diuinitie
,
and
as
many
haue
thought
,
the
Prophecies
of
Daniel
,
Ezekiel
and
others
:
wherefore
as
is
said
before
,
many
are
of
opinion
,
That
the
Wise
men
which
came
into
Iudaea
to
see
Christ
,
were
of
this
Colledge
and
towne
,
because
it
stood
East
from
Ierusalem
.
It
is
at
this
day
called
Cusistane
,
as
Ortelius
and
Sebastian
Munster
witnesses
,
and
in
their
times
was
vnder
the
gouernment
of
one
Caliphus
Emperour
of
the
Saracens
.
This
Caliphus
was
strongly
besieged
by
one
Allan
the
great
King
of
Tartaria
,
in
this
Towne
,
Anno
Dom.
1250.
But
because
of
his
exceeding
couetousnesse
and
parcimony
,
he
lost
the
citie
and
was
famished
to
death
.
Of
the
Riuer
Eulaeo
.
VLai
,
which
Stra.
li.

calleth
Eulaea
,
passed
through
the
city
of
Susa
,
and
as
Pliny
saith
,
lib.
6.
cap.
27.
tooke
the
beginning
at
Media
,
and
so
fell
into
a
whole
or
cauerne
of
the
earth
,
&
passed
vnder
the
ground
till
it
came
neere
to
the
citie
Susa
,
where
it
brake
forth
againe
,
and
compassed
about
the
tower
of
Susa
,
and
a
temple
in
that
city
dedicated
to
Diana
.
The
inhabitants
hold
this
riuer
in
great
estimation
,
insomuch
as
the
kings
drink
of
no
other
water
,
and
for
that
purpose
carry
it
a
great
way
.
Strabo
according
to
the
testimony
of
Polycletus
,
saith
,
That
there
are
two
other
Riuers
of
good
account
,
which
passeth
through
Persia
,
viz.
Choaspes
&
Tigris
,
but
neither
of
them
are
in
like
estimation
as
this
is
.
Of
Elam
.
PErsia
in
antient
times
was
called
after
this
name
,
from
Elam
the
sonne
of
Sem.
But
after
Perseus
had
obtained
a
large
and
spacious
gouernm●nt
in
that
country
,
it
was
after
his
name
called
Persia
.
Elam

The
typicall
signification
of
Daniel
.
DAniel
signifies
the
Iudge
of
God
:
tipically
representing
Christ
who
is
appointed
by
that
eternall
Iehouah
to
be
Iudge
of
all
things
both
quicke
and
dead
,
and
rescueth
his
Church
,
which
is
(
as
a
rose
compassed
ahout
with
thornes
)
oppressed
with
the
tyranny
and
cruelty
of
euil
and
wicked
men
,
casting
those
false
iudges
and
mercilesse
gouernors
into
eternall
exile
and
the
pit
of
destruction
.
And
as
the
Prophet
was
innocently
condemned
,
cast
into
the
Lyons
den
,
and
had
the
dore
sealed
vpon
him
,
and
to
the
judgement
of
man
,
no
hope
of
life
,
or
meanes
to
escape
was
left
him
,
yet
by
the
prouidence
of
God
was
deliuered
out
of
this
danger
,
and
came
thence
safe
and
vntoucht

so
our
Sauior
was
innocently
condemned
,
cast
into
the
graue
,
sealed
vp
among
the
dead
,
and
to
common
judgement
left
as
a
man
out

;
yet
early
in
the
morning
at
the
appointed
time
,
by
the
power
of
his
Deitie
he
raised
himselfe
vp
from
this
pit

and
gloriously
triumphed
ouer
it
and
Death

THis
Prophet
Hosea
was

saith
)
which
was
a
towne
in
the
Tribe
of
Issacher
,
not
farre
from
Bethulia
,
some
fiftie
two
miles
from
Ierusalem
toward
the
North
,
neere
to
which
place
Holofernes
afterward
pitched
his
Tents
,
extending
thence
to
the
field
of
Esdrelon
,
and
the
towne
Chelmon
,
from
whence
it
seemeth
this
towne
taketh
the
name
.
He
prophesied
in
Israel
eight
hundred

before
Christ
;
his

,
in
the

of
Manasses

as
Dorotheus
the
Bishop
of
Tyre
sayeth
.
Of
The
Prophet
Amos.
THis
mans

dwelt
at
Tekoa
,
a
poore
man
,
one
that
kept
kine
,
and
vsed
to
gather
wilde
figges
,
as
appeareth
in
the
first
and
seuenth
chapters
of
Amos.
In
this
towne
Amos
was
borne
,
and
followed
the
profession
of
his
father
,
but
the
Lord
called
him
to
be
a
Prophet
;
and
then
he
went
to
Bethel
,
which
was
twelue
miles
distant
.
Here
he
reprehended
Ieroboam
King
of
Israel
,
for
Idolatry
,
and
worshipping
the
golden
Calfe
;
after
,
hee
was
accused
by
Amasia

of
the
Idols
in
Bethel
,
and
bound
in
chaines
,
and
at
length
Vria
the
sonne
of
this
Amasia
stroke

,
whereby
he
was

.
From
Bethel
,
being
sicke

hee
was
carryed
backe
to
Tecoa
,
which
was
twelue
miles
:
where
a
little
after
he
died
,
as
Saint
Ierome
witnesseth
:
in
whose
time
his
monument
was
to
be
seene
.
Amos
signifieth
,
A
burthen
,
as
indeed
he
was
to
the
wicked
Isralites
,
he
so
sharpely
reprehended
them
in
his
sermons
of
the
law
.
He
liued
eight

Christ
.
So

,
the

of
three

Obediah
,
and
Iohn
Baptist
.
But
some
thinke
that
Obediah
the
Prophet
lay
not
buried
in
Samaria
,
but
rather
it
was
the
sepulchre
of
that
Obediah
which
liued
in
the
time
of
Ahab
,
that
hid
a
hundred
of
the
Lords
Prophets
,
50
in
one
caue

and
50
in
another
,
betweene
which

were
300

vp
vpon
the
shore
,
which
was
600
miles
,
Ios.
Antiq.
lib.

From
the
shore
of
the
Euxine
sea
,
Ionas
went
to
Niniueh
,
which
are
eight
hundred
miles
:
Here
Ionas
preached
repentance
to
the
Niniuites
,
Ion.
3.4
.
So
all
the
Trauels
of
Ionas
were
1470
miles
.
Of
Gath
Hepher
.
IN
this
towne
the
Prophet
Ionas
was
born
:
it
was
scituated
in
the
tribe
of
Zebulon
,
sixty
miles
from
Ierusalem
Northward
and
foure
miles
from
Nazareth
towards
the
South
.
It
seemes
to
take
the
name
from
aboundance
of
grapes
;
for
Gath
Ghephaer
signifieth
a
Wine-presse
.
Of
Iapho
.
IApho
or
Ioppa
was
a
city
or
hauen
towne
scituated
vpon
the
sea
,
where
all
such
ships
landed
as
went
into
Iudaea
.
At
this
day
the
Turks
and
Saracens
call
it
Iafa
,
lying
vpon
the
Mediterranean
sea
,
in
the
tribe
of
Dan
,
Ios.
19.
in
a
certain
mountaine
20
miles
from
Ierusalem
Northwestward
.
Pliny
,
li.
5.
saith
,
This
city
was
built
before
the
Floud
;
and
in
S.
Ieroms
time
there
was
to
be
seen
the
stone
to
which
Andromeda
was
bound
when
she
should
haue
bin
deuoured
by
a
monster
of
the
sea
.
The
Poets
feign
this
woman
to
be
the
daughter
of
Cepheus
,
and
deliuered
by
Perseus
King
of
the
Persians
,
whom
after
she
maried
.
It
is
called
Iapho
because
of
the
beautifull
scituation
.
Some
say
it
was
so
called
of
Iapheth
the
son
of
Noah
,
who
first
caused
it
to
be
built
.
Of
Tharsis
.
FRom
Ioppa
,
as
is
said
,
the
Prophet
Ionas
descended
into
a
ship
,
that
he
might
fly
vpon
the
sea
.
The
Latine
and
Greeke
texts
reade
it
Tharsin
;
whence
it
hapned
that
many
haue
thought
that
Ionas
fled
from
Tharsis
a
city
in
Cilicia
,
in
which
country
Saint
Paul
was
borne
.
But
Luther
in
his
Exposition
of
the
Prophecy
of
Ionas
doth
vtterly
disallow
of
this
as
false
;
for
the
Hebrew
Text
reades
it
not
,
To
Tharsin
,
but
In
Tharsin
,
that
is
,
into
the
Sea
.
For
the
Hebrew
tongue
hath
two
words
or
syllables
which
signifie
the
Sea
,
which
are
Iam
and
Tharsis
.
Iam
signifieth
not
onely
a
great
sea
,
but
the
meeting
together
of
waters
,
or
a
Lake
.
So
in
Luke
5.
the
sea
of
Galile
,
in
which
Christ
and
his
Disciples
sai●ed
,
is
called
a
Lake
;
yet
Ioh.
cap.
6.
and
the
rest
of
the
Euangelists
,
call
it
a
sea
.
So
also
Moses
,
Gen.
1.
calleth
the
meeting
together
of
the
waters
,
Iam
;
which
may
signifie
a
sea
and
a
Lake
.
But
Tharsis
,
or
Tarschich
denoteth
a
great
sea
,
and
no
Lake
;
or
an
high
and
troublesome
sea
,
as
the
Mediterranean
sea
is
.
In
this
Paul
trauelled
,
and
there
standeth
many
Islands
,
as
Rhodes
,
Cyprus
,
Sicilia
and
others
;
all
which
are
at
this
day
subiect
to
the
Turks
,
Venetians
,
or
Spaniards
.
It
extendeth
it selfe
from
Ioppa
and
Silicia
,
to
the
Streights
betweene
Spain
and
Mauritania
.
Into
this
Sea
Ionas
was
cast
when
the
Whale
deuoured
him
.
In
like
manner
,
the
Red
sea
and
all
others
that
are
ocean
seas
are
called
Tharsis
,
as
appeareth
in
the
72
Psalme
,
where
it
is
said
,
The
Kings
of
Tharsis
and
of
the
Isles
shall
bring
Presents
.
Here
,
the
Kings
whose
Empires
extend
themselues
alongst
the
sea
coast
are
vnderstood
.
But
the
city
Tharsis
(
the
countrey
of
the
Apostle
Paul
)
is
not
a
kingdome
,
neither
euer
had
a
King
,
much
lesse
many
Kings
.
So
Solomon
sent
his
shippes
by
Tharsin
(
that
is
,
by
sea
towards
the
Southeast
,
into
the
Red
sea
and
Eastern
Ocean
)
that
they
might
bring
gold
,
pretious
stones
,
and
sweet
gummes
from
Arabia
.
But
the
ships
could
not
saile
by
the
Red
sea
vnto
the
town
of
Tharsis
vnlesse
they
would
haue
sailed
ouer
the
land
,
which
is
vnpossible
;
because
Tharsis
lieth
into
the
land
from
the
Red
sea
,
as
all
Cosmographers
agree
.
So
also
the
Psalmist
saith
,
Thou
breakest
with
thy
strong
windes
the
ships
of
Tharsis
,
that
is
,
of
the
sea
;
beside
many
such
like
speeches
.
From
whence
S.
Ierom
concludes
,
that
Tharsis
may
better
signifie
the
sea
,
than
the
city
Tharsis
.
Of
the
Euxine
sea
.
THe
Euxine
Ocean
is
that
great
and
troublesome
sea
which
beginning
not
farre
from
Constantinople
,
runneth
from
Bosphorus
and
Thrace
,
towards
the
East
and
North
,
containing
to
the
Longitude
eight
hundred
miles
,
but
to
the
Latitude
two
hundred
and
eighty
.
Towards
the
South
it
toucheth
vpon
Asia
the
lesse
;
towards
the
East
vpon
Calcos
;
towards
the
West
,
Thracia
and
Valachia
:
but
towards
the
North
it
is
ioyned
to
the
poole
of
Maeotides
.
This
sea
in
times
past
was
called
Pontus
Axenus
,
that
is
,
the
inhospitable
country
;
because
as
Strabo
,
lib.
1.
of
his
Cosmography
saith
,
The
inhabitants
neere
about
the
sea-shore
did
vsually
sacrifice
those
strangers
they
got
,
or
else
cast
their
bodies
vnto
dogs
to
he
deuoured
,
making
drinking
cups
of
their
skuls
.
But
after
,
when
the
Ionians
had
built
certain
townes
vpon
the
sea
coast
,
and
had
restrained
the
incursions
of
certaine
Scythian
theeues
which
vsually
preyed
vpon
Merchants
that
resorted
thither
;
at
the
command
of
Pontus
their
King
,
who
had
obtained
a
large
and
spatious
kingdom
in
that
country
,
they
called
it
Pontus
Euxinus
,
which
is
as
much
to
say
as
,
the
hospitable
country
.
Ovid
testifieth
almost
the
same
,
concerning
the
originall
of
the
name
of
this
sea
,
after
this
manner
;
Frigida
me
cohibent
Euxini
littora
Ponti
,
Dictus
ab
antiquis
Axinus
ille
fuit
.
The
chilly
shores
of
th'
Euxine
sea
constraines
me
to
abide
,
In
antient
time
call'd
Axinus
,
as
it
along
did
glide
.
Of
Ninus
or
Nineveh
.
NInus
or
Nineveh
was
a
city
of
Assyria
,
where
the
Emperours
of
that
country
vsed
to
keep
their
courts
.
It
was
first
built
by
Ninus
that
great
Emperour
of
the
first
Monarchy
,
300
yeares
after
the
floud
,
and
2000
before
Christ
,
about
the
time
when
the
Patriarch
Abraham
was
borne
.
It
continued
in
great
glory
for
the
space
almost
of
1500
yeares
,
and
was
distant
from
Ierusalem
toward
the
Northeast
684
miles
:
vpon
the
East
side
ioyning
to
the
riuer
Tygris
,
on
the
North
to
the
Caspian
sea
.
It
takes
the
name
from
the
beauty
of
it
,
being
deriued
of
Navah
,
which
signifieth
A
comely
place
spatious
and
pleasant
.
There
are
many
that
are
of
opinion
that
in
many
things
it
exceeded
Babylon
;
as
,
for
the
sumptuousnesse
of
the
buildings
,
the
strength
of
the
Walls
,
and
the
extent
.
The
walls
were
so
thicke
that
three
Chariots
might
haue
met
vpon
them
without
any
danger
;
and
beautified
with
an
hundred
and
fifty
towers
.
Ionas
being
sent
of
God
to
this
city
,
was
three
daies
going
through
it
,
that
is
(
as
Luther
expounds
it
)
through
euery
street
of
it
;
in
which
time
he
conuerted
a
hundred
and
twenty
thousand
to
repentance
.
Arbaces
(
who
was
also
called
Arphaxad
)
was
then
Emperor
.
This
Arbaces
,
Iustine
lib.
2.
calleth
Arbactus
:
he
was
a
Captaine
of
the
Medes
,
who
perceiuing
the
effeminat
disposition
of
Sardanapalus
the
then
Emperour
,
taking
aduantage
of
the
times
,
and
this
mans
weaknesse
,
conspired
with
some
of
his
companions
to
vsurp
vpon
his
gouernment
:
and
that
he
might
make
them
hate
and
loath
his
loosenesse
,
brought
them
into
a
room
where
the
might
see
him
sitting
amongst
his
harlots
,
tyred
in
womans
apparell
,
and
carding
wooll
.
This
sight
greatly
displeasing
them
,
and
before
being
encouraged
by
Arbactus
,
they
seised
vpon
the
city
,
and
besieged
Sardanapalus
in
his
palace
.
But
to
preuent
the
miserie
of
a
shameful
death
,
after
he
had
gathered
all
his
riches
together
,
he
set
fire
on
his
palace
,
where
he
,
his
companions
,
and
treasure
perished
.
This
fire
continued
15
daies
,
and
hapned
823
yeares
before
Christ
:
about
which
time
Arbactus
succeeded
Sardanapalus
,
began
to
reign
,
and
continued
his
gouernment
28
yeres
.
But
the
Medes
held
not
the
Assyrian
Empire
long
;
for
Phul
Belochus
who
at
this
time
reigned
in
Babylon
,
and
his
successour
Tiglath
Philasser
,
are
called
Kings
of
Assyria
,
betweene
whom
there
hapned
many
great
Warres
,
2
Kings
,
15.26
.
From
whence
may
be
gathered
,
That
after
the
death
of
Arbactus
,
these
Emperours
dwelt
in
Niniveh
,
and
succeeded
in
the
Empire
.
Thus
was
this
city
greatly
defaced
with
continuall
euills
,
the
Lord
before
hand
giuing
them
many
admonitions
and
gentle
corrections
(
if
it
had
bin
in
them
to
haue
conceiued
it
)
to
winne
them
to
repentance
;
but
they
continued
still
in
their
sins
,
therefore
according
to
their
former
prophecies
,
Cyaxares
King
of
the
Medes
besieging
this
towne
,
tooke
it
and
destroyed
it
euen
vnto
the
ground
,
as
Eusebius
saith
.
This
desolation
hapned
13
yeares
before
the
destruction
of
Ierusalem
,
in
the
11
yeare
of
Sadyattis
King
of
the
Lyddians
,
who
was
grandfather
to
Croesus
,
An.
mundi
3349
,
before
Christ
619.
After
this
destruction
it
lay
a
long
time
desolat
,
but
at
length
some
part
of
it
was
restored
,
though
with
much
trouble
;
&
then
when
it
was
at
the
best
estate
,
constrained
to
suffer
many
changes
;
and
at
length
vtterly
destroied
by
Tamerlane
the
Great
the
second
time
,
An.
mun.
3390.
After
this
,
the
inhabitants
of
that
countrey
vpon
the
East
side
of
the
riuer
Tygris
,
began
the
third
time
to
build
it
.
But
whether
this
third
restoring
of
this
City
was
at
the
command
of
some
Prince
that
had
the
gouernment
of
the
Country
thereabouts
,
or
because
of
the
scituation
,
or
for
priuat
profit
,
it
is
not
set
down
:
neuerthelesse
it
is
again
repaired
,
standing
on
the
borders
of
Armenia
,
beautified
with
goodly
buildings
,
with
faire
and
spatious
streets
,
compassed
about
(
as
other
cities
of
the
East
are
)
with
walls
and
ditches
sufficiently
strengthned
to
oppose
the
Enemy
.
But
in
respect
of
the
former
Niniveh
it
seemes
a
small
village
.
It
hath
a
bridge
built
of
ships
,
lying
vpon
the
East
side
of
it
ouer
the
riuer
Tygris
;
and
vpon
that
side
of
the
Riuer
there
stand
many
faire
gardens
and
orchards
;
and
the
land
there
also
is
very
fertil
and
pleasant
.
But
vpon
the
West
of
Tygris
the
soile
is
nothing
so
fruitfull
.
At
this
day
it
is
called
by
the
name
of
Mossel
;
so
that
although
it
stands
in
the
same
place
,
yet
doth
it
not
retain
the
same
name
.
To
this
towne
there
is
a
great
resort
of
merchants
,
who
bring
vp
their
commodities
from
the
Riuer
Tygris
hither
,
and
from
hence
conuey
them
to
Bagdeth
&
many
other
parts
of
the
world
.
The
inhabitants
thereof
are
for
the
most
part
Nestorians
,
of
whom
you
may
reade
before
in
the
description
of
the
Sects
remaining
in
Ierusalem
at
this
day
.
They
are
had
in
great
account
and
estimation
among
the
Turkes
,
because
it
is
imagined
that
one
of
this
sect
helpt
Mahomet
to
compose
the
Alcaron
.
This
Nestorius
liued
anno
Dom.
429.
and
taught
at
Constantinople
;
but
after
he
was
condemned
at
Ephesus
for
an
heretick
,
he
was
constrained
to
steale
from
Constantinople
,
and
to
flie
to
Thebes
in
Egypt
;
where
God
laid
a
grieuous
punishment
vpon
him
,
for
his
tongue
began
to
rot
in
his
head
,
and
to
consume
with
vermin
,
of
which
he
died
miserably
.
The
spirituall
signification
of
the
Prophet
Ionas
IOnas
signifieth
a
Dove
,
and
typically
representeth
Christ
in
his
name
.
For
Christ
was
that
gratious
and
innocent
Dove
,
who
hath
made
euident
to
man
his
singular
mercy
&
clemencie
,
without
any
shew
of
bitternesse
or
wrath
.
Then
in
his
affliction
;
for
as
Ionas
thrust
himselfe
into
the
sea
of
calamity
,
and
there
was
swallowed
vp
of
a
Whale
;
which
might
be
well
resembled
to
the
grave
:
so
Christ
our
Sauior
was
cast
into
the
sea
of
affliction
,
the
miserie
and
calamity
of
this
world
;
and
after
that
,
thrust
into
the
jawes
of
death
,
the
graue
,
where
(
as
Ionas
did
in
the
whales
belly
)
he
lay
three
daies
,
and
then
arose
againe
,
the
earth
being
vnable
any
longer
to
contain
his
body
.
Of
the
Prophet
Micah
.
THis
Prophet
was
born
at
Maresa
a
towne
of
Iudea
,
16
miles
from
Ierusalem
Westward
;
it
signifieth
a
bitter
field
.
In
S.
Ieroms
time
the
ruins
of
the
wall
of
this
City
was
to
be
seene
.
Micha
or
Micheas
signifieth
humble
or
lowly
.
This
man
was
held
in
great
estimation
,
because
he
was
the
first
that
named
the
countrey
where
our
Sauior
Christ
should
be
born
,
viz.
in
Bethlehem
,
800
yeares
before
his
natiuitie
.
He
liued

Of
the
Prophet
Nahum
.
NAhum
signifies
a
Comforter
.
Hee
was
borne
in
a
towne
of
Galile
,
called
Elcosch
,
as
he
saith
in
the
beginning
of
his
Prophecie
.
This
village
was
shewne
vnto
Saint
Ierome
,
by
those
that
trauelled
with
him
through
the
holy
land
:
in
his
time
it
was
but
a
small
village
,
called
by
the
name
of
Elcos
,
and
scituated
(
as
Dorotheus
Bishop
of
Tyre
saith
)
on
the
further
side
of
Bethabara
,
sixteene
miles
and
something
more
from
Ierusalem
toward
the
Northeast
.
This
Prophet
liued
750
yeres
before
Christ
,
and
prophecied
of
the
destruction
of
Niniveh
,
which
after
came
to
passe
.
Of
the
Prophet
Habacuck
.
HAbacuck
,
or
Chabacuck
,
signifies
,
One
that
embraceth
,
or
a
louer
;
from
Chaback
,
He
hath
embraced
.
For
as
a
Nurse
embraceth
and
kisseth
her
infant
;
so
also
this
Prophet
embraced
and
comforted
his
people
with
comfortable
doctrine
,
lest
by
the
destruction
of
Ierusalem
(
which
he
prophecied
should
after
happen
by
the
Chaldaeans
)
they
should
be
driuen
to

Paul
tooke
the
foundation
of
his
Epistle
to
the
Romanes
out
of
this
Prophet
,
reciting
a
saying
of
his
,
viz.
The
Iust
shall
liue
by
faith
He
began
to
preach
a
little
before
the
Prophet
Ieremy
,
650
yeres
before
Christ
,
aboue
100
yeares
before
Daniel
was
cast
into
the
Lions
den
.
From
whence
most
of
the
Learned
conclude
,
that
this
could
not
be
that
Habacuck
which
brought
meat
to
Daniel
as
hee
was
among
the
Lions
;
but
they
rather
thinke
it
a
fragment
of
a
spiritual
comedy
,
and
therefore
worthy
to
be
called
Apocrypha
.
Of
the
Prophet
Zephania
.
ZEphania
signifies
the
Secretary
of
the
Lord
;
being
deriued
of
Zaphan
,
He
hath
kept
secret
.
He
liued
in
Ierusalem
and
Iudaea
in
the
time
of
Iosiah
King
of
Iuda
.
He
was
born
(
as
Dorotheus
Bishop
of
Tyre
saith
)
in
a
towne
called
Sabarthaca
in
the
tribe
of

Of
the
Prophets
Haggai
and
Zacharia
.
HAggai
or
Chaggai
signifieth
,
A
Priest
celebrating
the
Feast
of
the
Lord
;
being
deriued
of
Chagag
,
He
hath
celebrated
a
feast
.
And
Zacharias
or
Zacharia
doth
denote
,
such
a
man
as
remembred
the
Lord
;
being
deriued
of
Zachar
,
that
is
,
Hee
hath
remembred

These
two
Prophets
prophecied
in
Ierusalem
in
the
second
yeare
of
Darius
the
son
of
Histaspis
,
519
years
before
Christ
,
an

mun.

Haggai
began
his
prophecy
vpon
the
first
day
of
the
sixt
moneth
Elul
,
answering
to
the
28
of
August
.
He
sharpely
reprehended
the
people
because
they
neglected
the
house
of
the
Lord
,
and
built
vp
their
own
houses
.
In

eighth
moneth
Marhusuan
(
which
for
the
most
part
answereth
to
our
Nouember
)
Zacharias
the
same
yere
began
to
prophecie
,
and
in
his
sermon
exhorted
the
people
to
repentance
,
adding
the
promise
of
our
Sauior

that
he
would

These
two
Prophets
lie
buried
20
miles
one
from
the
other
.
For
as
Dorothaeus
Bishop
of
Tyre
saith
,
Haggai
lies
buried
in
Ierusalem
amongst
the
Priests
.
But
Zacharias
neere
to
a
towne
in
the
field
of
Bethania
,
20
miles
from
Ierusalem
Westward
.
But
in
the
time
of
Theodosius

Emperor
was
remoued
and
preserued

Relique

Concerning
that
fable
and
figment
inserted
into
the
history
Nicephorus
,
I
vtterly
disallow
.
Of
the
Prophet
Malachi
.
THis
Prophet
prophecied
after
the
captiuity
of
Babylon
,
and
dwelt
in
the
towne
of
Ziph
,
as
Dorotheus
Bishop
of
Tyre
saith
.
Malachi
signifies
an
Angel
sent
;
and
in
Greek
,
a
Messenger
:
for
this
Prophet
preached
so
comfortably
as
if
he
had
bin
an
angell
of
God
;
but
principally
of
Christ
and
Saint
Iohn
Baptist
,
who
should
goe
before
him
,
to
prepare
his
way
and
make
his
paths
straight
.
S.
Ierom
in
his
Epistle
to
Paul
and
Eustochius
writes
,
that
some
of
the
Hebrewes
suppose
this
Malachi
to
haue
been
Esdras
the
Scribe
,
who
was
sent
by
Artaxerxes
Longimanus
Emperour
of
the
Persians
,
to
restore
the
commonwealth
of
Israel
,
in
the
yeare
before
Christ
457.

The
Trauels
of
Antiochus
Epiphanes
.
ANtiochus
Epiphanes
,
that
is
,
An
illustrous
Aduersary
,
in
the
yeare
of
Christ
380
,
was
sent
out
of
Syria
by
Antiochus
the
Great
,
to
Rome
,
which
1600
miles
,
where
he
remained
as
an
hostage
for
his
father
and
his
brother
Seleucus
Philopater
seuenteen
yeares
,
1
Mac.

After
the
death
of
his
father
he
stole
secretly
from
Rome
,
and
went
backe
again
to
Antiochia
in
Syria
,
which
was
1600
miles
;
and
there
succeeded
his
brother
Seleucus
Philopater
in
the
gouernment
.
He
began
to
reign
173
yeares
before
Christ
.
In
the
third
yeare
of
his
reign
he
went
from
Antiochia
to
Tyrus
,
60
miles
:
in
that
journey
he
conquered
all
the
lower
part
of
Syria
and
Phoenicia
.
From
thence
he
went
aboue
sixe
score
miles
through
Galilee
and
Iudaea
,
conquering
al
the
cities
and
countries
that
lay
in
his
way
;
and
would
also
haue
gon
downe
into
Egypt
;
but
when
hee
heard
that
his
nephew
Ptolomais
Philometor
had
proclaimed
an
assembly
and
parliament
,
and
would
not
acknowledge
him
for
his
Protector
,
he
sent
Apolonius
one
of
his
princes
,
vpon
the
day
of
the
meeting
into
Egypt
,
and
he
himselfe
returned
back
again
to
Ioppa
,
2
Mac.

From
Ioppa
hee
went
to
Ierusalem
,
which
was
20
miles
,
where
Iason
the
high-Priest
and
all
the
people
receiued
him
with
great
honour
.
At
that
time
Antiochus
placed
a
Gard
in
the
Castle
or
tower
of
Ierusalem
,
which
was
the
beginning
of
their
intolerable
seruitude
.
But
for
that
yeare
,
which
was
the
fourth
of
his
reign
,
he
returned
through
Phoenicia
to
Antiochia
in
Syria
,
280
miles
.
In
the
fift
yeare
of
his
reign
hee
went
from
Antiochia
with
a
great
army
into
Cilicia
,
being
80
miles
.
There
he
appeased
the
vprores
of
the
inhabitants
of
Tharsus
and
Mallotus
,
and
conquered
all
Cilicia
,
2
Mac.

From
Cilicia
he
returned
backe
againe
to
Antiochia
,
eightie
miles
.
In
the
sixt
yeare
of
his
reign
Antiochus
went
with
a
great
army
both
by
sea
and
land
(
wherein
were
many
Elephants
)
to
Pelusio
,
400
miles
.
This
city
he
conquered
,
and
ouercame
the
Alexandrians
in
a
navall
battell
.
2
Mac.

From
Pelusio
(
hauing
built
a
bridge
ouer
Nilus
)
he
went
with
his
army
to
Memphis
,
conquerd
all
the
countries
&
strong
cities
as
he
went
,
about
140
miles
,
and
brought
thither
a
mightie
and
great
prey
:
where
according
to
the
saying
of
the
Prophet
Daniel
,

He
dealt
subtilly
with
Ptolomais
Philometor
.
From
Memphis
he
returned
to
Alexandria
,
where
the
citisens
would
not
suffer
him
to
enter
the
gates
,
wherefore
he
besieged
it
,
but
to
small
purpose
,
which
was
120
miles
.
From
Alexandria
he
returned
to
Pelusio
,
which
was
160
miles
,
there
he
left
a
garrison
to
retaine
what
hee
had
gotten
in
Aegypt
,

From
Pelusio
he
returned
to

In
the
next
yeare
(
that
is
,
in
the
seuenth
yeare
of
Antiochus
Epiphanes
)
there
was
seen
in
the
aire
as
if
there
had
been
men
fighting
;
a
Comet
also
appeared
.
This
happened
in
the
yeare
before
Christ
167.
This
yeare
in
the
spring
Antiochus
went
the
second
time
from
Antiochia
with
his
army
into
Alexandria
in
Egypt
,
which
was
560
miles
.
So
passing
through
Coelosyria
and
Iudaea
,
hee
came
into
Egypt
,
which
he
inuaded
with
open
war
,
endeauoring
to
get
that
by
force
,
which
hee
could
not
get
by
entreaty
.
But
the
Romans
sent
P.
Popillius
with
other
Embassadours
into
Egypt
,
who
hearing
that
Antiochus
was
come
to
Leusia
,
which
was
within
a
mile
of
Alexandria
,
the
Romanes
went
thither
to
him
.
Where
when
he
had
welcommed
them
,
and
shewed
all
the
courtesie
hee
could
to
P.
Popillius
,
P.
Popillius
deliuered
him
certain
tables
that
he
had
about
him
written
.
And
first
of
all
commanded
him
to
reade
them
,
which
he
did
.
Then
he
counselled
with
some
of
his
friends
,
What
was
best
to
be
done
in
the
businesse
.
While
he
was
thus
in
a
great
study
,
P.
Popillius
with
a
wand
that
hee
had
in
his
hand
made
a
circle
about
him
in
the
dust
,
saying
,
Ere
thou
stirre
a
foot
out
of
this
circle
returne
thy
answer
,
that
I
may
tell
the
Senate
Whe-thou
hadst
rather
haue
warre
or
peace
.
This
hee
vttered
with
such
a
firme
countenance
,
that
it
amased
the
King
.
Wherefore
,
after
he
had
paused
a
while
,
quoth
hee
,
I
will
doe
what
the
Senate
hath
written
,
or
shall
thinke
fit
.
So
doing
little
or
nothing
in
Egypt
,
hee
returned

From
Leusia
,
Antiochus
(
fearing
lest
the
Iewes
would
forsake
his
Empire
and
rebell
)
went
to
Ierusalem
,
which
was
288
miles
;
but
the
inhabitants
of
the
towne
shut
him
out
of
the
city
,
wherefore
he
besieged
it
,
and
by
the
treason
of
Menelaus
chiefe
Priest
,
(
who
for
that
purpose
conspired
with
the
gard
that
was
in
the
castle
)
quickly
got
it
and
entred
the
gates
.
In
every
place
where
he
came
hee
put
the
Citisens
to
the
sword
,
and
for
three
daies
space
did
little
else
but
cruelly
massacre
the
people
.
He
went
also
with
Menelaus
into
the
Temple
,
where
he
polluted
the
sacred
things
of
the
Temple
,
and
took
thence
the
vessels
of
siluer
&
gold
,
or
whatsoeuer
he
found
pretious
or
worthy
:
so
that
the
prey
he
tooke
amounted
to
1800
talents
,
which
make
almost
11
tunne
of
pure
gold
;
all
which
were
partly
gifts
dedicated
to
the
Temple
,
and
partly
treasure
that
was
left
there
as
in
a
safe
and
sure
place
,
to
the
vse
of
poore
distressed
widowes
and
orphans
.
After
that
Antiochus
had
robbed
the
Temple
of
all
the
siluer
and
gold
that
he
could
finde
,
had
banished
Iason
,
had
placed
a
strong
garrison
in
the
tower
of
Acropolis
,
(
the
captaine
of
which
was
one
Philip
a
very
cruell
man
)
and
made
Menelaus
high-Priest
;
with
all
this
booty
and
some
number
of
captiues
hee
returned
to
Antiochia
,
which
was
280
miles
.
In
the
yeare
following
,
that
is
,
before
Christ
166
,
Lu.
Aemilius
Paulus
triumphed
for
the
wars
of
Macedonia
.
Not
long
after
,
Antiochus
misdoubting
the
fidelitie
of
the
Iewes
,
sent
Apolonius
with
an
army
of
22000
to
Ierusalem
,
who
entred
the
city
vpon
the
Sabbath
day
,
and
committed
many
outrages
.
Then
,
Antiochus
hauing
spent
a
great
part
of
the
gold
and
siluer
which
he
had
got
from
Ierusalem
,
about
the
eleuenth
yeare
of
his
reigne
made
his
expedition
from
Antiochiato
,
Persepolis
,
(
it
was
also
called
Elymaides
)
in
Persia
,
which
was
196
miles
.
Here
he
took
the
temple
of
Diana
,
spoiled
all
that
country
round
about
,
and
with
strong
hand
gathered
together
a
great
masse
of
gold
and
siluer
to
maintain
warre
against
Iudas
Machabeus
.
But
a
multitude
of
citisens
disliking
his
sacriledge
,
banded
themselues
together
,
and
put
Antiochus
and
his
souldiers
to
flight
before
hee
could
take
the
city
of
Persepolis
.
1
Mach.

2
Mach.

Wherefore
being
driuen
from
thence
,
he
fled
with
his
army
to
Egbatana
,
a
city
in
Media
,
which
was
209
miles
.
Here
hauing
certain
intelligence
by
letters
,
of
the
noble
exploits
of
Iudas
Machabeus
,
and
that
he
purged
the
temple
of
such
things
as
were
prophane
,
he
fell
into
an
extreme
griefe
,
and
like
one
distracted
railed
against
the
Iewes
,
and
swore
to
be
reuenged
of
them
,
1
Mac.
9.
In
this
extreme
anger
he
went
from
Egbatana
to
Babylon
with
his
army
,
which
was
464
miles
.
But
as
he
went
,
his
Chariot
was
ouerthrown
,
in
the
fall
wherof
he
was
so
extremely
wounded
,
that
they
were
constrained
to
carry
him
in
a
bed
to
Babylon
,
where
he
shortly
after
died
miserably
.
So
all
his
trauels
were
8153
miles
.
Thus
may
we
see
with
what
difficulties
and
dangers
this
wicked
prince
obtained
his
victories
,
and
past
away
his
life
,
somtime
in
trauel
,
his
journies
long
and
troublesome
,
somtimes
in
prosperitie
,
somtimes
in
aduersitie
,
again
somtimes
afflicted
with
troublesome
cogitations
,
sometimes
with
extreame
anger
,
seldome
in
peace
,
and
then
also
his
actions
sauoring
of
violence
and
filthines
From
whence
it
appeareth
,
That
the
wicked
with
more
sorowes
,
troubles
,
and
vexations
gaine
eternall
damnation
;
than
the
Iust
,
though
they
suffer
many
grieuous
afflictions
,
obtain
euerlasting
saluation
.
For
amongst
all
the
Patriarchs
,
good
Kings
,
and
Prophets
,
there
is
not
found
any
that
had
so
many
long
and
tedious
journies
as
this
Antiochus
,
who
continually
oppressed
his
minde
and
conscience
with
vnprofitable
vanities
and
wicked
thoughts
,
and
at
length
had
a
miserable
and
terrible
end
.

Of

Cities
and
places
mentioned
in
his
Trauels
.
Of
Antiochia
.
ANtiochia
,
where
Antiochus
Epiphanes
kept
his
court
,
was
antiently
called
Chaemath
,
or
Riblah
.
It
was
scituated
in
Syria
,
180
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
North
,
neer
to
the
Cities
Seleucia
,
Laodicea
,
and
Apamea
,
which
foure
Cities
(
as
Strabo
saith
in
the
sixteenth
Booke
of
his
Geographie
)
was
built
by
Seleucus
Nicanor
first
King
of
Syria
.
This
man
was
a
mighty
Prince
;
and
obtained
the
name
of
Nicanor
(
which
signifieth
Victorie
)
because
he
prospered
in
his
warres
,
and
conquered
his
aduersaries
.
For
when
(
within
13
yeares
after
the
death
of
Alexander
the
Great
)
hee
had
got
the
kingdome
of
Syria
,
hee
became
so
great
in
the
31
yeare
of
his
reign
,
that
he
obtained
the
empire
of
all
the
East
;
and
beside
(
as
Strabo
saith
)
re-edified
and
built
vp
these
foure
cities
,
calling
one
of
them
Antiochia
,
after
the
name
of
his
father
,
another
Laodicea
after
the
name
of
his
mother
,
a
third
after
his
own
name
Seleucia
,
and
the
last
Apamea
,
after
the
name
of
his
wife
.
These
foure
cities
,
because
they
were
all
built
by
one
man
and
at
one
time
,
were
called
Sisters
.
But
Antiochia
was
much
fairer
than
the
other
,
and
in
those
times
was
a
greater
city
than
any
other
called
after
that
name
,
yea
it
was
equal
to
Alexandria
in
Egypt
,
for
glory
and
excellencie
of
building
.
It
was
diuided
into
foure
parts
,
and
those
parts
seperated
with
four
wals
:
The
first
,
which
was
antiently
called
Hemath
(
A
violent
anger
)
of
Chamathai
the
sonne
of
Canaan
;
was
after
Riblath
,
from
the
multitude
of
the
inhabitants
;
and
the
third
time
by
Seleucus
,
after
his
fathers
name
,
called
Antiochia
.
In
this
part
Seleucus
to
dignifie
the
City
,
kept
his
court
,
it
being
compassed
about
with
goodly
walls
.
In
the
second
part
the
citisens
of
Syria
inhabited
.
In
the
third
,
Seleucus
Callimichus
(
afterward
King
of
the
Syrians
)
kept
his
court
,
and
greatly
beautified
it
.
But
in
the
fourth
(
where
afterward
many
Christians
inhabited
)
Antigonus
Epiphanes
continued
,
and
did
greatly
adorn
it
and
set
it
forth
with
goodly
buildings
and
sumptuous
houses
.
Close
by
the
Citie
there
stood
a
pleasant
wood
watered
with
many
cleare
fountains
and
delightfull
springs
,
to
which
there
resorted
a
great
multitude
of
Fowles
of
diuers
sorts
,
which
sung
very
pleasantly
among
the
trees
,
to
the
great
content
and
delectation
of
the
citisens
.
In
the
midst
of
this
wood
stood
the
temple
of
Apollo
and
Diana
,
goodly
things
,
and
very
curiously
built
.
It
was
called
the
wood
of
Daphne
,
because
it
was
full
of
Laurel
trees
.
From
this
wood
all
the
countrey
thereabout
is
called
Epidaphne
.
Not
far
off
standeth
the
riuer
Orontes
,
which
beginneth
in
Coelosyria
,
and
passeth
vnder
the
earth
til
it
comes
neere
to
Apamea
,
where
it
riseth
and
watreth
all
Antiochia
.
So
passing
thence
it
runneth
some
16
miles
,
and
so
fals
into
the
Mediterranian
sea
.

Of

PErsepolis
was
the
metropolitan
city
of
Persia
,
distant
from
Ierusalem
1240
miles
Eastward
.
So
called
of
Perseus
that
mightie
King
of
the
Persians
,
who
re-edified
it
and
gaue
it
that
name
;
which
is
as
much
to
say
as
the
city
of
the
Persians
,
which
also
of
him
were
so
called
.
The
Astronomers
,
because
he
was
greatly
affected
to
such
as
were
skilfull
in
that
art
,
attributed
his
name
and
his
wiues
name
to
two
constellations
in
the
heauens
,
of
which
Ovids
fable
is
contriued
of
Pegasus
and
Andromache
.
This
city
of
Persepolis
was
so
fair
,
that
it
exceeded
all
the
cities
of
the
East
,
both
for
statelinesse
and
beauty
,
and
so
continued
from
Perseus
time
,
vntill
Alexander
the
Great
had
conquered
Darius
:
at
which
time
this
great
Emperor
hauing
got
into
his
hand
the
whole
empire
of
the
Persians
,
came
to
Persepolis
in
the
yeare
before
Christ
329
,
and
there
celebrated
a
great
feast
in
triumph
of
his
victories
;
to
which
there
resorted
a
great
many
women
,
not
such
as
were
of
the
better
sort
,
but
them
that
followed
the
camp
,
and
liued
dissolutely
:
amongst
whom
was
that
notable
curtesan
Thais
;
who
perceiuing
the
King
inclined
to
mirth
,
and
full
with
wine
,
began
to
flatter
him
in
his
cups
,
&
among
other
things
to
commend
and
dignifie
his
noble
exploits
;
withall
giuing
him
to
vnderstand
,
how
acceptable
it
would
be
to
the
Grecians
,
to
see
that
royall
palace
of
the
Persians
fired
,
which
had
so
often
afflicted
Grecia
.
No
sooner
had
she
vttered
these
words
,
but
another
seconded
her
,
and
then
a
third
.
After
,
the
whole
assembly
cried
out
,
Shall
we
reuenge
the
injurie
of
Grecians
,
and
burn
the
city
?
with
that
they
al
rose
in
great
fury
,
the
king
himself
(
being
crowned
)
beginning
first
to
fire
the
palace
,
wherein
was
great
aboundance
of
Cedar
,
from
whence
it
happened
that
suddenly
the
fire
spred
it selfe
a
great
way
;
which
when
the
army
that
lay
without
the
walls
perceiued
,
with
all
speed
came
to
the
city
to
stay
the
burning
of
it
,
for
which
purpose
many
brought
water
with
them
.
But
when
they
beheld
the
King
himselfe
busie
in
this
tragedie
,
laying
aside
their
water
,
they
also
,
in
hope
of
booty
,
and
to
imitate
the
steps
of
their
Prince
,
fell
to
firing
the
city
,
and
according
to
the
custom
of
soldiers
in
such
massacres
,
made
a
prey
of
what
they
could
get
;
increasing
the
fire
with
dry
stuffe
and
other
combustible
matter
,
whereby
it
came
to
passe
that
the
whole
city
was
therewith
fired
,
and
burnt
to
the
ground
.
This
was
the
end
of
that
mighty
city
which
ruled
ouer
so
many
nations
,
where
so
many
mighty
Princes
gouerned
,
that
was
the
scourge
of
Grecia
and
the
greatest
part
of
the
world
,
that
sent
forth
a
Navie
of
10000
ships
and
an
army
of
an
infinit
number
;
there
being
at
this
day
nothing
to
be
seen
,
vnlesse
the
riuer
Araxes
that
ran
close
by
it
remaineth
.
Thus
was
that
consumed
in
a
fury
,
which
the
King
and
all
his
army
before
endeauoured
to
spare
.
But
after
it
turned
to
the
great
shame
of
the
Macedonians
,
that
their
King
should
fire
so
famous
a
city
in
the
midst
of
his
cups
:
and
Alexander
himselfe
after
hee
had
slept
repented
what
he
had
done
.
You
shall
find
in
2
Mac.
cap.

That
Antiochus
Epiphanes
besieged
a
certaine
City
in
Persia
called
Persepolis
,
from
whence
for
his
exceeding
couetousnesse
and
sacriledge
he
was
forced
by
the
inhabitants
dwelling
about
the
town
to
raise
his
siege
&
be
gon
.
Therefore
some
may
gather
,
that
this
Persepolis
before
mentioned
was
rebuilded
,
because
it
also
stood
in
Persia
:
but
if
you
read
1
Mac.
cap.
6.
you
shall
finde
that
this
city
so
besieged
by
Antiochus
was
also
called
Elymais
,
wherein
stood
the
temple
of
Diana
,
beautified
with
goodly
ornaments
,
shining
with
the
splendor
of
fine
gold
wherewith
it
was
gilt
.
In
which
temple
,
as
faith
Iosephus
lib.
Ant.
12.
Alexander
the
Great
left
his
armor
and
other
things
.
From
whence
may
be
gathered
,
that
this
towne
was
not
the
Persepolis
which
he
caused
to
be
burnt
,
but
rather
some
other
towne
built
out
of
the
ruines
of
that
city
(
according
to
the
opinion
of
Quintus
Curtius
)
or
else
some
village
standing
neere
to
it
,
which
being
built
vp
and
inlarged
,
might
of
some
be
called
new
Persepolis
,
though
indeed
it
was
antiently
called
Elymais
,
and
all
the
East
part
of
Persia
beyond
Susa
,
of
that
towne
called
Elematica
,
hauing
some
affinitie
with
Elam
the
antient
name
of
Persia
,
so
called
of
Elam
the
son
of
Sem
,
Gen.
10.
Wherefore
it
may
well
be
concluded
,
that
that
Persepolis
burnt
down
by
Alexander
,
was
neuer
restored
,
but
lieth
waste
to
this
day
.
Thus
the
empire
of
the
Persians
(
afrer
they
had
ruled
ouer
the
nations
of
the
earth
260
yeares
)
was
conquered
by
the
Grecians
,
who
held
it
129
yeares
.
At
the
end
of
which
time
,
Demetrius
Nicanor
the
last
Emperour
of
the
Grecrans
in
Syria
and
Asia
,
going
with
a
great
army
out
of
Syria
toward
the
East
,
Arsaces
King
of
the
Medes
and
Parthians
,
being
aided
by
the
citisens
of
Elymais
the
Persians
,
and
Bactrians
,
meeting
him
in
those
parts
,
gaue
him
many
sharp
and
cruell
battels
,
and
in
the
end
(
vnder
pretence
of
peace
)
took
him
prisoner
,
in
the
yere
before
Christ
137
,
and
from
that
time
the
Parthians
gouerned
Persia
and
Grecia
,
and
opposed
the
Romans
in
many
cruell
battels
.
Afterward
,
in
the
yere
of
our
Lord
226
,
Artaxerxes
that
mighty
Lord
of
Persia
ouercame
Artabanus
King
of
the
Parthians
in
a
mighty
battell
,
and
took
his
crown
from
his
head
;

entring
vpon
the
gouernment
of
Persia
,
548
years
after
the
death
of
Alexander

Great
:
from

time
Artaxerxes

reigned
in

Where
that
holy
Priest
Mattathias
the
father
of
Iudas
Machabeus
dwelt
.
MAttathias

haue
both
one

is
,
The
gift
of
God
;
being
deriued
of
Matath
,
a
gift
,
and
Iah

God

This
Mattathias
was
a
holy
Priest
of
the
tribe
of
Levi
,
the
son
of
Iohn
,
the
son
of
Simon
,
of
whom
all
that
family
was
called
the
posteritie
of
Simon
,
of
the
stocke
of
Ioarib
,
of
whom
you
may
read
,
1
Chr.
15.
He
dwelt
in
a
town
called
Modin
,
14
miles
from
Ierusalem
toward
the
Northwest
,
scituated
in
a
mountaine
close
by
the
way
as
you
go
to
Ioppa
,
in
the
tribe
of
Dan.
Modin
signifieth
a
measure
,
being
deriued
of
Madad
,
he
hath
measured
.
In
this
place
seeing
the
crueltie
of
Antiochus
Epiphanes
,
and
the
insolencie
of
his
soldiers
,
he
killed
one
of
his
captains
,
and
afterward
in
the
synagogue
put
to
death
an
idolatrous
Iew
,
ouerthrew
the
Altar
set
vp
by
Antiochus
:
after
,
called
forth
all
the
inhabitants
of
Modin
and
other
towns
neere
adioyning
,
to
withstand
the
fury
of
this
King
.
So
they
brought
their
goods
out
of
the
city
,
into
the
wildernesse
,
where
they
incamped
themselues
,
and
after
so
manfully
opposed
Antiochus
,
that
he
deliuered
all
the
cities
&
towns
thereabouts
out
of
his
bondage
,
and
from
idolatry
.
But
beeing
now
grown
old
,
(
after
he
had
admonished
his
sons
to
constancy
in
the
seruice
of
God
,
and
courage
in
defence
of
the
countrey
)
he
died
in
the
yeare
before
Christ
164
,
and
was
buried
at
Modin
,
where
afterward
his
sons
were
buried
.
Simon
his
third
son
,
high-priest
of
Ierusalem
,
did
maruellously
beautifie
this
sepulchre
;
for
he
made
a
vault
of
white
marble
,
compassed
about
with
faire
pillars
which
supported
an
admirable
curious
arch
,
to
see
to
as
if
it
had
been
one
stone
.
Ouer
this
vault
in
conuenient
places
he
built
seuen
pyramides
,
in
memory
of
his
father
,
mother
,
his
foure
brethren
,
and
himselfe
.
In
the
circumference
of
this
monument
hee
set
vp
faire
marble
pillars
,
vpon
which
he
caused
to
be
ingrauen
ships
,
so
artificially
,
that
they
which
sailed
vpon
the
sea
might
see
them
;
and
vpon
these
he
placed
the
armes
of
his
father
and
of
his
brethren
.

succeeded
his
father
Mattathias
in
the
yere
before
Christ
164
,
Ann.
mundi
3804.
and
ruled
six
years
.
Immediatly
after
his
fathers
death
,
who
as
is
said
was
buried
in
Modin
he
led
his
army
against
Apollonius
chief
captain
of
Antiochus
,
who
at
that
time
was
in
Samaria
,
which
was
30
miles
:
here
hee
ouercame
Apollonius
and
killed
him
with
his
own
sword
,

When
Seron
(
who
was
also
one
of
Antiochus
chiefe
captains
in
Syria
the
lower
)
heard
that
Iudas
Machabeus
had
ouercome
Apolonius
and
put
him
to
death
,
hee
was
very
angry
and
said
,
I
will
goe
and
conquer
Iudas
Machabeus
and
those
that
are
with
him
,
that
so
I
may
get
my selfe
a
name
and
be
famous
through
the
whole
Kingdom
:
so
he
came
out
of
Syria
,
and
pitched
his
tents
neere
Bethoron
the
lower
in
the
tribe
of
Iuda
,
32
miles
from
Samaria
.
But
Iudas
went
down
to
him
to
Bethoron
,
where
he
broke
into
his
campe
,
ouercame
his
whole
army
,
and
put
him
to
the
sword
with
8000
of
his
men
,
but
the
rest
fled
into
the
land
of
the
Philistines
,

These
two
victories
he
obtained
in
the
first
yeare
of
his
gouernement
,
by
which
he
made
the
name
of
the
Machabees
famous
thorough

Iudas

pitched
his

neere

But
when
the

perceiued

of

(
for
hee
had
20000
foot
,
and

in

there
were
many
of
them
discouraged
,
so
that
all
left
him
but
800
men
:
Yet
neuerthelesse
Iudas
constrained
by
necessitie
withstood
Bacchides
,
and
so
manfully
behaued
himselfe
in
the

,
that
hee

which
was

where
being

This

is
called

because
all

In

It

to
be
thus
called

a
noble

The
Typicall
signification
of
Iudas
Macchabeus
.
IVdas
Macchabeus
is
a
type
and
figure
of
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
;
and
Antiochus
,
of
that
wicked
Antichrist
,
as
the
interpretation
of
their
names
do
euidently
declare
:
for
Iudas
signifies
a
Confessor
,
praysing
God
and
glorifying
his
name
for
all
his
benefits
;
so
Christ
the
sonne
of
God
is
the
praise
and
glory
of
his
father
,
for
that
in
him
and
by
him
God
the
father
praised
,
as
is
euident
in
the
song
of
Simeon
.
In
like
manner
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
is
worthily
called
Macchabeus
,
for
Macchabeus
is
a
syrname
of
the
Iewes
,
which
is
written
after
this
manner
,
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
Machabai
,
euery
letter
of
which
signifieth
a
seuerall
word
,
according
to
the
Song
of
Moses
in
the
fifteenth
chapter
of
Exodus
,
where
are
these
words
,
Michamocha
baelim
Iehouah
,
that
is
,
Who
is
like
vnto
thee
amongst
the
gods
,
O
Lord
?
Thus
did
the
children
of
Israel
sing
with
Moses
,
when
God
led
them
out
of
the
land
of
Aegypt
through
the
Red
Sea
:
and
this
sentence
Iudas
Macchabeus
continually
vsed
as
an
Adage
;
and
the
letters
at
the
beginning
of
these
words
being
joyned
together
into
one
word
,
make
the
syrname
Macchabai
.
Therefore
as
he
had
alwaies
this
golden
sentence
in
his
mouth
,
so
had
he
it
likewise
in
his
name
,
yea
,
in
his
ensignes
.
Wherefore
this
name
likewise
is
worthy
to
be
attributed
to
Christ
;
for
hee
is
that
perfect
image
and
glory
of
his
eternall
father
,
Heb.
1.
who
is
called
Michael
,
that
is
,
Who
is
like
vnto
God
?
and
Macchabeus
,
or
Machabai
,
that
is
,
Who
is
like
vnto
thee
amongst
the
gods
,
ô
Lord
.
Therfore
he
saith
thus
,
I
am
that
great
God
that
will
deliuer
you
from
al
euil
:
Ecce
,
Deus
fortis
foelix
,
de
morte
resurgo
:
Tartareosque
vnguens
,
Daemona
ipse
ligo
.
Behold
,
I
am
the
God
of
might
,
from
death
to
life
that
rose
:
I
binde
the
Diuell
to
my
will
,
his
furies
I
oppose
.
But
Antiochus
signifies
an
aduersarie
,
or
an
opposer
,
or
one
that
fighteth
against
God
.
The
same
also
doth
Sathan
signifie
in
Hebrew
.
He
is
therefore
a
fit
type
of
that
great
opposer
of
God
and
Man
,
(
Antichrist
)
who
fighteth
against
Christ
,
that
Iudas
Macchabeus
,
and
true
Captaine
of
the
Church
.
For
as
the
one
(
viz.
Antochus
)
was
an
aduersary
against
the
Iewes
the
children
of
God
;
so
the
other
,
(
that
is
,
Antichrist
)
is
an
aduersarie
and
enemy
against
Christ
and
his
Church
,
&c.

But
vnderstand
that
Bacchides
chiefe
captaine
of
Demetrius
King
of
Syria
,
went
about
to
take
his
life
by
craft
,
hee
and
his
brother
Simon
went
from
Modin
,
and
pitched
their
tents
in
the
wildernesse
of
Tecoah
,
neere
to
the
lake
of
Asphar
,
which
was
20
miles
.
From
thence
they
sent
their
brother
Iohn
with
certaine
riches
to
the
Nabathians
,
which
dwelt
in
Medaba
in
Arabia
(
28
miles
)
desiring
them
in
friendship
to
receiue
their
goods
into
the
town
,
and
to
keepe
them
for
their
vse
:
but
the
sonnes
of
Iambri
and
the
Nabathians
issued
out
of
Medaba
,
and
vnawares
fell
vpon
Iohn
,
put
him
to
death
,
tooke
away
all
his
wealth
,
and
returned
into
their
citie
with
great
joy
.
But
Ionathan
and
Simon
tooke
this
injurie
very
heauily
,
and
much
bewailed
the
death
of
their
brother
:
wherefore
that
they
might
bee
reuenged
of
the
inhabitants
of
Medaba
,
they
went
thence
twenty
eight
miles
,
and
hid
themselues
among
the
mountaines
just
in
the
way
that
led
ftom
Medaba
to
Canaan
;
for
they
had
heard
that
the
sonnes
of
Iambri
and
the
inhabitants
of
Medaba
were
gone
forth
with
great
jollitie
to
fetch
home
a
Bride
,
which
was
a
Princes
daughter
of
the
land
of
Canaan
.
Now
as
they
were
merrie
vpon
the
way
,
Ionathan
and
Simon
his
brother
,
with
their
army
,
went
out
from
among
the
Mountaines
,
and
put
a
great
number
of
them
to
the
sword
,
taking
away
a
mighty
spoyle
.
From
Medaba
they
went
to
the
riuer
Iordan
,
which
was
three
miles
,
where
vpon
the
East
side
of
the
riuer
they
pitched
their
Tents
;
here
he
was
constrained
to
fight
a
cruell
battell
with
Bacchides
vpon
the
Sabboth
day
;
but
as
he
was
in
the
fight
hee
met
Bacchides
,
and
lift
vp
his
hand
to
strike
at
him
;
but
he
seeing
the
danger
,
retyred
.
Neuerthelesse
he
put
to
the
sword
1000
of
his
men
,
and
after
,
he
and
his
followers
leapt
into
the
riuer
and
swam
ouer
:
so
they
all
escaped
without
danger
.
In

56
yeare
of

gouernment
in

,
which
was

fifth
yere

Bacchides
returned
againe
with
his

into

,
and
besieged
Ionathan
and
Simon
in
Bethbesan
,
otherwise
called
Bethgalam
,
some
three
miles
distant
from

Here
Ionathan
leauing
his

Simon
in

citie
,
stole
out
by
a
posterne
,
and
went
to
all
the

from

he
gathered
an

also
broke
out

set
vpon
him
,
so
that
they
greatly
oppressed
him
and
burned
his

Wherefore
when

vnderstood
that
Ionathan
and

had
fortified
that
citie
,
and
that
the
Iewes
were
readie
to

concluded

which
was
44
miles
:
here
being
deceiued
by
the
faire
speeches
of

,
he
discharged

,
Tryphon
brought

he
kept
captiue

promising
to

if
he
would
send

be
hostages
,
and
let
him
haue
a
hundred
talents
of
siluer
,
that

OF
this
Alexander
,
Iustin
writes
,
lib.

where
he
sheweth
,
That
he
was
not
son
to
Antiochus
Epiphanes
,
as
was
supposed
,
but
had
to
name
Prompalus
,
being
a
man
of
the
meaner
sort
of
people
:
but
the
Antiochians
for
the
great
tyranny
of
Demetrius
,
falling
into
rebellion
,
gaue
vnto
him
the
name
of
Alexander
,
and
withal
caused
it
to
be
published
abroad
,
that
he
was
the
son
of
Epiphanes
,
which
by
reason
of
his
youth
was
easily
beleeued
.
And
at
this
time
Demetrius
because
of
his
crueltie
,
being
much
hated
of
all
sorts
of
people
;
it
came
to
passe
that
most
,
and
those
of
the
greatest
also
,
combined
with
this
yong
man
,
supposing
him
indeed
to
be
of
noble
descent
,
and
the
son
of
a
King
.
Wherefore
Alexander
or
Prompatus
being
thus
encouraged
,
tooke
vpon
him
to
bee
the
brother
of
Antiochus
Eupator
,
and
called
himselfe
the
lawful
heire
and
successor
to
the
crowne
of
Syria
:
going
from
thence
to

reigned
fiue
yeares

This
man
suffered
many
varieties
and
changes
of
fortune
:
at

was
put
to
flight
by
Demetrius
;
after
hee
put
Demetrius
to
flight
,
and
at
length
put
him
to
death
and
vsurpt
vpon

In

maried
Cleopatra
the
daughter
of
Ptolomeus

he
had

To
this
marriage
Ionathan

inuited

In

yeare
of

hee
went
from

to

Syria
signifieth
a
great
tract
of
land
,
and
is
diuided
into
two
parts
,
the
vpper
and
the
lower
.
In
the
vpper
Syria
are
these
cities
,
Antiochia
,
Seleucia
,
Laodicea
,
and
Apamea
:
in
the
lower
Syria
are
Sydon
,
Tyrus
,
Berytus
,
Tripolis
,
and
Orthosia
.
This
Countrey
is
scituated
in
a
very
temperat
Zone
;
from
whence
it
happeneth
that
it
is
neither
oppressed
with
too
much
cold
nor
heate
.
There
are
that
diuide
Syria
into
foure
parts
,
that
is
,
into
Syria
,
Assyria
,
Leucosyria
,
and
Coelosyria

Also
Pliny
,

attributeth
Mesopotamia
and
Babylonia
to
Syria
.
But
it
is
euident
that
these
were
distinct
Countries
from
them
,
in
the
which
there
reigned
Emperours
and
Kings
which
had
large
and
spatious
Dominions
.
For
Syria
is
scituated
betweene
the
Mediterranian
sea
and
Euphrates
;
but
Mesopotamia
(
which
is
so
called
because
it
is
scituated
in
the
middle
of
waters
)
is
separated
from
Syria
and
Assyria
,
with
the
riuers
Euphrates
&
Tygris
:
and
Arabia
is
separated
from
Syria
and
Babylon
with
many
vast
wildernesses

Therefore
these
countries
cannot
properly
passe
vnder
the
denomination
of
Syria

Of
Parthia
.
PArthia
is
a
spatious
country
full
of
mountains
and
desarts
,
lying
vpon
the
borders

Media
Westward
;
the
Metropolis
whereof
is
Hecatompylon
,
taking
the
name
of
100
gates
wherewith
it
is
fortified
.
It
lieth
(
as
Stephanus
saith
)
1512
miles
from
Ierusalem
Eastward
.
Here
Arsaces
that
mighty
King
of
the
Parthians
kept
his
court
,
who
had
vnder
his
gouernment
Media
,
Parthia
,
Persia
,
Hircania
,
and
the
greatest
part
of
all
the
countries
toward
the
East
.
It
is
called
Parthia
because
of
the
fruitfulnesse
of
the
soile
,
being
deriued
of
Parah

To

Of
Hyrcania
.
HYrcania
is
a
fruitfull
and
pleasant
countrey
bordering
vpon
Media
and
the
Caspian
sea
,
for
the
most
part
plain
&
champian
,
beautified
with
many
faire
Cities
,
the
chiefe
of
which
are
,
Hyrcania
(
the
Metropolis
of
the
whole
kingdome
)
Talebrota
,
Samariana
,
Carta
,
and
Tape
.
It
was
so
fat
and
fruitfull
,
that
the
inhabitants
vse
not
to
till
and
dresse
the
ground
,
as
they
doe
in
other
places
,
but
the
seed
that
falleth
from
the
huske
vpon
the
earth
,
springeth
vp
and
bringeth
forth
great
plenty
and
increase
,
without
further
labour
.
The
Dewes
also
falling
vpon
the
trees
,
there
droppeth
from
them
oile
and
honey
in
great
plenty
.
It
taketh
the
name
(
as
it
is
thought
)
from
a
Wood
called
Hyrcania
.
In
like
manner
the
Caspian
sea
which
bordereth
vpon
it
,
of
this
country
is
called
Hyrcanum
.
Many
cruel
beasts
are
found
therein
,
as
the
Panther
,
the
Tyger
,
and
the
Leopard
.
The
Panther
is
of
a
whitish
colour
inclining
something
to
yellow
,
spotted
all
ouer
with
round
shining
spots
;
in
like
manner
are
their
eies
.
She
is
a
friend
almost
to
all
kinde
of
creatures
,
except
the
Aspe
and
Dragon
,
and
(
as
Oppianus
saith
)
neuer
taken
but
when
shee
is
drunke
,
or
in
her
sleepe
.
She
is
the
female
to
the
Leopard
.
The
Leopard
is
of
the
same
colour
,
and
of
the
nature
of
a
Wolfe
,
being
full
,
hee
hurteth
nothing
;
but
if
empty
he
preyeth
vpon
euery
thing
,
yea
,
euen
vpon
men
:
his
breath
is
very
sweet
,
with
which
many
other
creatures
being
delighted
,
he
often
preyes
vpon
them
;
but
beeing
full
,
he
sleepeth
somtimes
three
daies
together
.
The
Tyger
also
is
a
very
swift
and
cruell
creature
,
from
whence
he
is
so
called
;
his
skin
is
yellow
and
full
of
black
spots
round
and
shining

Tryphon
,
somtime
chief
Captain
to
Alexander
King
of
Syria
,
who
was
slain
in
Arabia
,
went
to
Emalcuel
Prince
of
Arabia
deserta
,
with
whom
Antiochus
the
son
of
Alexander
was
brought
vp
;
where
he
so
wrought
with
him
,
that
he
got
the
boy
from
him
,
and
brought
him
thence
into
Syria
,
160
miles
;
and
within
a
while
after
besieged
Antiochia
,
tooke
the
towne

droue
thence
Demetrius

crowned
yong
Antiochus
King
of

This
journy

1
Mac.

In
the
second
yeare
of
the
reign
of
young
Antiochus
,
Tryphon
went
from
Antiochia
to
Bethsan
,
where
he
perfidiously
betrayed
Ionathan
the
brother
of
Iudas
Machabeus
,
1
Mac.

being
thirtie
six
miles
.
From
Bethsan
he
went
to
Ptolomais
,
32
miles
.
From
Ptolomais
he
went
to
Addus
a
towne
vpon
the
borders
of
Iudea
,
68
miles
,
1
Mac.
13.
To
Addus
Simon
sent
his
brothers
Children
and
his
ransome
,
which
was
60
talents
of
siluer
:
but
after
hee
had
receiued
the
mony
,
he
broke
his
word
,
and
went
thence
with
Ionathan
and
his
sons
to
Ador
,
48
miles
.
From
Ador
hee
went
to
Bascharnan
in
the
land
of
Gilead
,
96
miles
.
Here
he
put
to
death
Ionathan
and
his
sonnes
.
From
the
country
of
the
Gileadites
he
returned
to
Antiochia
which
was
240
miles
:
here
he
put
to
death
yong
Antiochus
,
being
but
a
boy
of
7
yeares
of
age
,
and
vsurped
vpon
the
gouernment
in
his
place
.
He
began
to
reign

gouernment
in

,
Antiochus
Sedetes
(
brother
of
Demetrius

made
war
vpon
Tryphon
,
and
compelled
him
to
fly
from
Antiochia
to
Dora
,
240
miles
from
Antiochia
toward
the
South
,
1
Mac.

But
Antiochus
Sedetes
followed
him
thither
,
and
so
streightly
besieged
Dora
,
that
he
was
constrained
to
steale
thence
in
a
ship
,
and
saile
to
Orthosia
,
which
was
160

Lastly
,
in

was
going
thence
to

Concerning
the
trauels
of
Apolonius
,
Nicanor
,
Bacchides
,
and
Cendebius
;
because
they
are
sufficiently
described
in
the
trauels
of
the
Machabees
,
I
thought
it
vnfit
to
speake
further
of
them
.
The
Trauels
of
Heliodorus
.
HEliodorus
signifies
the
House
of
the
Sun
.
He
was
Scretarie
and
chiefe
Gouernor
of
Antiochia
in
Syria
,
for
that
mightie
King
Seleucus
Philopater
,
who
was
brother
to
that
cruel
Tyrant
Antiochus
Epiphanes
,
and
was
sent
by
his
Lord
and
master
Seleucus
from
Antiochia
to
Ierusalem
,
which
is
80
miles
,
to
spoile
the
Temple
of
the
Lord
:
but
the
Lord
sent
an
Angel
richly
beautified
with
armor
of
gold
,
sitting
vpon
a
horse
;
who
went
to
Heliodorus
,
and
with
his
horse
trod
him
vnder
his
feet
:
and
there
appeared
two
other
Angels
full
of
majestie
and
power
,
that
strooke
Heliodorus
and
beat
him
with
whips
,
so
that
he
lay
vpon
the
floore
of
the
Temple
as
a
man
halfe
dead
,
and
could
not
go
forth
vntil
he
was
caried
out
,
2
Mac.

From
Ierusalem
he
went
with
that
good
man
Onias
chief
priest
of
the
Iewes
(
at
whose
earnest
prayers
and
supplications
hee
was
made
whole
)
to
Antiochia
,
280
miles
;
where
hee
told
Seleucus
Philopater
of
the
wonderfull
works
of
the
Lord
.
So
all
his
trauels
were
580
miles
.
The
Trauels
of
the
high-Priests
of
the
Iewes
that
ruled
before
the
Machabees
,
as
they
are
seuerally
mentioned
in
the
Books
of
Machabees
.
And
first
of
the
trauels
of
Onias
the
high-Priest
.
ONias
signifies
the
riches
of
God
;
from
On
,
Opulency
,
and
Iah
,
God
:
for
although
he
was
afflicted
with
pouertie
in
this
world
,
yet
he
was
rich
in
God
.
He
succeeded
his
Father
Simon
the
Iust
,
an
.
M.
3757.
before
Christ
211.
Antiochus
the
great
being
King
of
Syria
.
He
was
high-priest
39
years
vntil
the
death
of
Seleucus
Philopater
:
at
the
end
of
which
time
,
one
Simon
,
the
chiefe
of
those
that
kept
the
temple
,
being
ambitious
of
rule
,
fell
to
words
with
Onias
,
and
from
words
to
blowes
;
so
that
there
were
many
outrages
committed
by
the
friends
of
Simon
.
Wherefore
Onias
to
giue
place
to
the
fury
of
his
aduersaries
,
went
from
Ierusalem
to
Antiochia
,
which
was
280
miles
.
But
Seleucus
Philopater
being
dead
,
and
Antiochus
Epiphanes
in
the
gouernment
,
who
was
a
couetous
and
cruell
prince
;
good
Onias
,
partly
for
fear
of
him
,
and
partly
of
his
brother
Iason
(
who
had
but
a
little
before
purchased
the
office
of
high
priest
for
360
talents
of
siluer
,
and
promised
to
pay
a
yearely
tribute
of
80
talents
)
durst
not
return
home
to
Ierusalem
,
but
went
to
a
sanctuary
that
stood
in
the
wood
of
Daphne
,
which
was
about
one
mile
from
Antiochia
,
in
hope
of
safety
:
to
which
place
one
Andronichus
chiefe
Captaine
to
Antiochus
,
came
to
him
,
and
with
faire
speeches
and
flattering
words
allured
him
out
of
the
Sanctuary
,
and
traiterously
put
him
to
death
.
So
his
trauels
were
281
miles
.
The
Trauels
of
the
high-Priest
Iason
.
IAson
and
Iesus
haue
both
one
signification
:
he
entred
vpon
the
office
of
High
priest
in
the
first
yere
of
Antiochus
Epiphanes
,
which
was
173
yeares
before
Christ
.
He
went
from
Ierusalem
to
Antiochia
,
which
was
280
miles
,
where
after
the
death
of
Onias
he
payd
to
Antiochus
for
the
office
of
high-priest
almost
3
tunnes
of
gold
,
with
promise
to
pay
a
yearely
tribute
of
48000
crowns
.
From
Antiochia
he
returned
to
Ierusalem
,
280
miles
;
where
he
began
to
build
the
tower
of
Acropolis
in
mount
Acra
:
and
that
he
might
please
that
wicked
King
,
and
keep
his
fauour
,
hee
built
certain
Theatres
in
Ierusalem
,
and
caused
Interludes
and
Playes
to
be
acted
in
them
,
at
such
times
and
vpon
such
daies
as
the
people
were
wont
to
meet
in
the
Temple
to
serue
God
.
Also
K.
Antiochus
Epiphanes
in
the
4
yeare
of
his
priesthood
comming
to
Ierusalem
,
he
gaue
him
royall
entertainment
.
The
same
yeare
Iason
was
put
out
of
his
office
of
high-priest
by
the
policy
and
cunning
of
his
brother
Menelaus
,
and
was
constrained
to
fly
into
the
land
of
the
Ammonites
beyond
Iordan
,
being
40
miles
.
Two
yeares
after
,
when
Antiochus
Epiphanes
inuaded
Aegypt
,
there
was
a
vaine
rumor
that
he
was
slain
;
wherefore
Iason
with
a
thousand
souldiers
returned
to
Ierusalem
,
which
was
40
miles
,
and
broke
suddenly
into
the
city
,
so
that
Menelaus
was
constrained
for
safety
of
his
life
to
fly
to
the
garrison
of
the
Syrians
that
were
in
Ierusalem
.
But
Antiochus
hearing
what
had
hapned
,
came
out
of
Aegypt
with
a
great
army
to
Ierusalem
;
wherefore
he
fled
thence
backe
again
to
the
Ammonites
,
40
miles
;
but
they
fearing
that
Antiochus
would
come
thither
with
his
army
,
he
was
accused
before
Areta
King
of
Arabia
,
and
constrained
to
fly
from
one
city
to
another
for
safety
.
Wherefore
when
he
perceiued
that
he
could
not
liue
there
secure
,
he
went
thence
into
Egypt
,
280
miles
.
From
thence
he
went
to
the
Lacedemonians
,
600
miles
,
where
he
died
in
exile
,
being
cast
out
vnlamented
or
buried
.
So
all
his
trauels
were
1560
miles
.
Of
Lacedemonia
,
the
metropolitan
city
of
Peloponesus
.
LAcedemonia
or
Sparta
was
a
famous
city
of
Peloponnesus
,
distant
from
Ierusalem
600
miles
toward
the
West
;
which
although
it
had
no
wals
,
yet
was
it
one
of
the
fairest
and
most
populous
cities
in
all
Grecia
;
and
was
called
Sparta
of
Spartus
,
who
was
sometime
King
thereof
,
and
rebuilt
it
,
adorning
it
with
faire
&
goodly
buildings
.
At
first
it
was
built
by
one
Lacedaemon
,
who
was
king
thereof
,
and
of
him
called
Lacedemonia
:
and
after
,
Menelaus
that
mighty
King
of
the
Grecians
(
who
had
to
wife
Helena
the
fairest
woman
of
all
Grecia
)
kept
his
court
there
.
Here
also
Lycurgus
that
famous
Philosopher
reigned
as
King
,
and
prescribed
to
the
citisens
and
inhabitants
excellent
lawes
,
by
the
obseruance
whereof
they
became
famous
in
after-ages
,
and
performed
many
noble
wars
and
exploits
against
their
enemies
.
Ionathan
and
Simon
held
a
friendly
league
with
the
Lacedemonians
.
The
Trauels
of
the
high-Priest
Menelaus
.
THis
Menelaus
,
called
also
Onias
,
was
(
as
Iosephus
saith
)
the
third
son
of
Simon
the
Iust
,
and
brother
to
Iason
,
although
,
2
Mac.

,
4.
he
is
said
to
be
the
brother
of
one
Simon
of
the
tribe
of
Benjamin
,
who
was
chiefe
of
those
that
kept
the
Temple
,
of
whom
you
may
reade
before
.
This
man
in
the
fourth
yere
of
Antiochus
Epiphanes
was
sent
by
Iason
his
brother
to
Antiochia
,
being
280
miles
,
vpon
certain
busines
,
but
principally
to
cary
the
king
mony
.
Where
he
made
a
secret
Contract
with
him
,
to
pay
him
30
talents
[
*
](A17140-e110410-b)
*
That
is
,
180000
Crownes
.
beside
all
that
his
brother
Iason
had
payd
him
,
if
hee
would
institute
him
to
be
high-Priest
.
The
King
in
hope
of
profit
gaue
eare
to
his
motion
,
and
vnder
pretence
of
injury
&
wrong
offered
by
Iason
,
constrained
him
to
leaue
his
office
,
and
flie
from
Ierusalem
into
the
land
of
the
Ammonites
for
his
safety
,
and
so
instituted
Menelaus
to
be
chiefe
Priest
of
the
Iewes
;
who
entred
vpon
his
gouernment
in
the
yeare
before
Christ
169.
Wherefore
Menelaus
returned
from
Antiochia
to
Ierusalem
,
280
miles
;
where
he
began
to
gouern
not
as
chiefe
Priest
,
but
as
a
cruell
and
wicked
tyrant
,
2
Mac.
4.
But
when
in
the
beginning
of
his
gouernment
hee
could
not
pay
that
great
summe
of
money
which
he
had
promised
,
the
king
sent
for
him
to
Antiochia
,
being
280
miles
,
where
for
that
time
he
was
remoued
from
his
office
,
and
his
brother
Lysimacus
ordained
chiefe
Priest
in
his
roome
.
Wherefore
Menelaus
being
sore
troubled
,
vexed
,
and
grieued
in
mind
for
that
which
had
hapned
in
the
first
yeare
of
his
priesthood
,
returned
backe
from
Antiochia
to
Ierusalem
,
beeing
280
miles
.
But
a
little
after
,
when
Antiochus
Epiphanes
brought
an
Armie
into
Cilicia
,
to
suppresse
the
rebellion
of
the
Tharsians
and
Mallotans
,
Menelaus
taking
aduantage
of
the
Kings
absence
,
went
to
Andronichus
(
who
was
chief
Agent
for
the
King
in
Syria
)
to
Antiochia
,
280
miles
,
and
there
gaue
him
certain
golden
vessels
and
jewels
that
he
had
stolne
out
of
the
temple
,
to
hire
him
to
be
his
friend
,
and
help
him
to
his
office
of
high-priesthood
againe
.
But
Onias
the
elder
hearing
of
this
sacriledge
,
greatly
reprehended
Menelaus
for
this
shamefull
fact
;
but
he
taking
it
in
ill
part
,
combined
with
Andronichus
,
who
by
faire
speeches
alluring
him
out
of
the
sanctuary
in
the
wood
Daphne
,
put
him
to
death
,
after
hee
had
bin
5
years
in
exile
.
But
King
Antiochus
returning
from
Antiochia
,
accused
Andronichus
,
of
treason
,
and
by
the
means
of
a
certain
Courtier
receiued
Menelaus
into
fauor
.
From
Antiochia
Menelaus
returned
to
Ierusalem
,
280
miles
;
where
by
the
help
of
his
brother
Lysimachus
he
stole
a
great
masse
of
mony
out
of
the
Temple
.
Which
sacriledge
being
known
to
the
people
,
they
fell
to
vprore
and
killed
Lysimachus
close
by
the
Treasurie
.
They
accused
Menelaus
also
before
Antiochus
,

Mac.

Antiochus
in
the
second
yeare
of
his
priesthood
went
to
Tyrus
which
is
100
miles
,
where
he
so
corrupted
certain
courtiers
with
mony
,
that
he
procured
the
fauor
of
Antiochus
,
and
caused
his
Accusers
(
good
and
iust
men
)
to
be
banished
thence
,
as
slanderers
,
and
such
as
went
about
to
defame
Menelaus
.
From
Tyrus
he
returned
backe
again
to
Ierusalem
,
100
miles
,
where
he
fell
into
his
old
crueltie
,
and
in
the
third
yere
of
his
gouernment
receiued
Antiochus
Epiphanes
with
his
army
into
the
city
of
Ierusalem
,
who
cruelly
murthered
the
citisens
,
and
spoyled
the
Temple
,
2
Mac.
5.
After
the
death
of
Antiochus
,
who
as
it
is
said
perished
of
a
grieuous
disease
,
and
was
buried
at
Babylon
;
his
sonne
Antiochus
Eupator
came
with
a
great
Army
into
Iudaea
in
hostile
manner
.
Wherefore
Menelaus
in
the
last
yeare
of
his
Priesthood
went
out
to
meet
him
.
But
Lysias
accused
him
vnto
the
King
,
as
one
that
was
the
onely
author
of
all
the
euills
that
had
hapned
to
the
Iewes
.
Wherefore
Antiochus
willed
Lysias
to
take
him
prisoner
;
who
brought
him
to
Berea
a
towne
in
Syria
,
distant
from
Ierusalem
360
miles
Northward
;
where
vpon
the
top
of
a
Tower
fifty
cublts
high
,
he
was
tied
to
a
wheel
and
had
all
his
joints
broken
,
and
through
the
extremity
of
the
pain
died
,
2
Mac.
3.
So
all
his
trauels
were
2240
miles
.
The
Trauels
of
Alcimus
,
High-Priest
of
the
posteritie
of
Aaron
.
THis
Alcimus
after
the
death
of
Menelaus
,
which
was
the
yere
before
Christ
150
,
went
with
certaine
impious
and
wicked
men
to
Demetrius
Soter
,
who
liued
in
Antiochia
in
Syria
,
being
280
miles
,
and
there
accused
Iudas
Machabeus
and
all
the
godly
Iews
;
vsing
such
flattery
toward
the
King
,
that
he
obtained
the
principalitie
and
office
of
high-Priest
,
which
he
held
three
years
,
1
Mac.
7.
From
Antiochia
he
and
Bacchides
returned
back
to
Ierusalem
,
where
hee
was
instituted
in
the
office
of
high-priesthood
,
which
is
280
miles
.
But
when
he
saw
that
hee
was
not
able
to
withstand
the
power
and
singular
vertue
of
Iudas
Machabeus
,
he
returned
back
to
Antiochia
,
280
miles
;
where
after
hee
had
accused
the
good
men
among
the
Iewes
,
he
obtained
aid
of
Demetrius
,
who
sent
Nicanor
with
a
great
army
into
Iudaea
against
Iudas
,
to
establish
Alcimus
in
the
priesthood
.
So
Alcimus
and
Nicanor
returned
into
Iudaea
,
280
miles
.
But
Alcimus
seeing
familiar
conference
to
passe
between
Nicanor
and
Iudas
Machabeus
,
he
went
backe
againe
to
Antiochia
,
280
miles
,
where
he
told
Demetrius
of
the
perfidious
dealing
of
Nicanor
.
Wherefore
Demetrius
being
very
angry
at
what
had
hapned
,
wrot
a
sharp
letter
to
Nicanor
,
giuing
him
to
vnderstand
,
That
it
was
much
against
his
minde
that
hee
should
make
a
league
with
Iudas
:
and
further
willed
him
(
the
said
league
notwithstanding
)
to
bring
him
bound
to
Antiochia
.
Vpon
receit
of
which
letter
he
made
war
vpon
Iudas
;
in
which
expedition
Nicanor
was
taken
and
had
his
head
cut
off
.
All
this
hapned
in
the
first
yeare
of
the
priesthood
of
Alcimus
.
But
when
Demetrius
heard
of
this
ouerthrow
,
he
sent
Bacchides
and
Alcimus
with
a
great
army
,
who
went
to
Antiochia
,
and
came
to
Masloth
in
the
country
of
Arbela
,
192
miles
,
where
they
made
incursions
vpon
the
tribe
of
Nepthaly
,
&
slew
a
great
multitude
of
the
Israelites
,
1
Mac.

From
Masloth
they
went
with
their
army
to
Gilgal
,
76
miles
.
This
hapned
in
the
second
yeare
of
the
priesthood
of
Alcimus
.
From
Gilgal
they
came
to
Ierusalem

From
thence
they
brought
their
army
to
Berea

here
they
were
ouercome
and
put
to
flight
by
Iudas
Machabeus

From
Berea
they
fled
amongst
the
mountaines
which
are
between
Azotus
and
Gazeron
,
six
miles
.
Here
Iudas
Machabeus
was
slaine
.
Wherefore
Alcimus
returned
thence
backe
again
to
Ierusalem
20
miles
,
and
caused
the
walls
of
the
inner
house
of
the
Temple
,
and
the
monuments
of
the
Priests
to
be
taken
down
&
destroied
:
but
before
his
command
was
fully
executed
,
the
Lord
strooke
him
with
a
dead
palsie
,
of
which
he
lay
a
time
dumbe
,
but
within
a
while
after
he
died
of
that
disease
,
in
the
second
yeare
of
his
priesthood
,
an

and
before
Christ

Alcimus
being
dead
,
Bacchides
returned
back
to
Demetrius
in
Syria
,
1
Mac.

For
seuen
yeares
after
there
was
no
high
Priest
in
Ierusalem
,
till
Ionathan
the
brother
of
Iudas
Machabeus
tooke
vpon
him
that
office
,

So
all
his
trauels
were
1717
miles
.
¶
Of
the
places
to
which
he
trauelled
.
Of

THis

Thus
by

prouidence
haue
I
described
the
Trauells

of
the
holy
Patriarchs
,
Kings
,
and
Prophets
,
&c.
as
they
are
seuerally
mentioned
in

;
that
so
,
gentle
Reader
,
thou
mightst
vnderstand
what
difficult
and
tedious
journies
,
and
in
them
what
great
labour
and
vexation
they
were
constrained
to
beare
in
this
world
,
till
God
of
his
mercy
tooke
them
out
of
this
vale
of
misery
,
and
placed
them
in
euerlasting
happinesse
,
where
now
without

they
remaine
in
peace

FINIS
.
The
quantities
of
the
Monies
both
Siluer
and
Gold
,
as
they
are
seuerally
mentioned
in
the
Scriptures
,
reduced
to
our
Weights
and
English
valuations
,
EVer
since
the
time
that
Monies
haue
been
allowed
as
currant
in
exchange
betwixt
man
and
man
(
which
for
that
purpose
as
Aristotle
saith
was
first
ordained
)
it
hath
passed
according
to
the
valuation
of
a
certaine
weight
,
which
for
the
most
part
is
vniuersall
,
according
to
the
worth
and
estimation
thereof
in
the
seuerall
countries
where
it
is
to
be
sold
&
exchanged
;
or
else
by
Coine
,
which
is
currant
according
to
the
valuation
that
is
imposed
vpon
it
by
the
consent
of
a
State
,
or
command
of
a
Prince
.
In
both
which
there
haue
bin
vsed
sundry
distinctions
of
greater
and
lesse
valuations
of
weights
and
coine
,
according
to
the
necessitie
and
estimation
thereof
in
seuerall
Kingdomes
and
gouernments
.
As
amongst
the
Iewes
they
vsed
weights
and
no
coine
,
and
these
distinguished
in
seuerall
sorts
,
and
as
is
thought
separated
with
sundry
marks
,
that
they
might
be
known
each
from
other
.
The
weights
that
they
vsed
were
commonly
three
,
viz.
the
Centiner
or
talent
,
the
Mina
,
and
the
Sicle
;
according
to
the
opinion
of
Iosephus

Budaeus

Hostius
,
and
many
others
.
Of

Sicle
.
A
Sicle
was
a
kind
of
weight
currant
among
the
Iewes
,
containing
precisely
halfe
an
ounce
of
siluer
or
gold
,
which
that
it
might
be
distinguished
,
had
a
particular
effigies
or

;
viz.
vpon
one
side
was
to

seene
the

wherein
they
kept
Manna

THe
Hebrew
talent
ordinarily
weigheth
125

being

amounteth
to
3000
sicles
or

as
it
plainly
appeareth
,
Exod.

where
it
is
said
that
600000
men
offered
so
many

which
make
300000
sicles
,
the
100
part
of
which
make
a
talent
,
from
whence
it
appeareth
that
3000
sicles
make
a
talent
.
Also
Epiphanes
obserueth
,
lib.
1.
de
Pon.
That
the
Attick
talent
is
equall
in
weight
with
the
Hebrew
;
for
as
the
Hebrew
containes
3000
sicles
,
which
make
125
li.
so
the
Attick
containes
1200
Drachma's
,
which
make
the
same
weight
,
and
is
worth
375
li.
of
English
mony
.
But
the
Hebrew
Talent
of
gold
,
which
for
the
most
part
is
vsed
in
euery
place
,
is
worth
4500
li.
in
our
mony
.
The
Iewes
had
three
sorts
of
talents
:
-
The
common
talent
(
weighing
3000
quarters
of
an
ounce
,
or
common
sicles
)
amounts
to
6000
Drachma's
,
which
is
187
li.
10
s.
-
The
kings
talent
weighed
3000
of
the
kings
sicles
which
amounted
to
9000
Drachma's
,
which
is
281
li.
5
s.
-
The
Talent
of
the
Temple
or
Sanctuary
weighed
3000
sicles
of
the
temple
,
which
are
precisely
so
many
halfe
ounces
,
which
amount
to
three
hundred
seuenty
fiue
pounds
.
From
hence
then
may
easily
be
gathered
,
that
although
the
Iewes
had
seueral
weights
and
denominations
of
siluer
and
gold
,
yet
only
one
kind
was
vsually
obserued
in
traffique
with
other
nations
,
and
that
had
correspondencie
with
their
Weights
,
the
rest
being
only
for
the
common
sort
or
particular
vses
;
for
although
there
were
diuers
Sicles
,
Mina's
,
and
Talents
among
themselues
,
yet
the
common
weight
(
whether
it
was
of
sicle
,
mina
,
or
talent
)
was
vsually
that
which
they
termed
the
talent
of
the
temple
,
and
that
had
a
iust
correspondencie
with
the
Grecian
Talent
both
in
weight
and
worth
;
and
this
not
only
among
them
,
but
also
by
relation
from
them
to
the
Italians
;
and
that
nation
obtaining
an
vniuersall
monarchie
made
it
common
with
vs
also
.
Of
other
Weights
vsed
among
the
Iews
.
THey
had
also
other
weights
which
they
vsed
,
passing
vnder
seuerall
denominations
and
differing
value
;
as
Keseph
,
a
siluerling
or
Nummus
;
which
name
is
very
often
vsed
for
a
Sicle
,
as
appeareth
,

There
was
also
another
kinde
of
Siluerling
or
Nummus
vsed
,
which
was
called
Siclus
,
but
it
was
the
common
or
vulgar
Sicle
,
which
was
but
a
quarter
of
an
ounce
,
and
was
worth
but
15

There
was
another
kind
of
siluerling

Nummus
vsed
,
which
was
called
Keshitah

of
which
you
may
reade

whence

called

The
antient
Nummus
of
the
Arabians
and
Chaldaeans
was
like
vnto
this
,
as
may
be
gathered
by
many
circumstances
out
of
the
places
where
it
is
mentioned
,
and
was
of
the

are

reckon
their

Of
gold
weights
which
were
not
originally
the
Iewes
,
but
borrowed
of
other
Nations
,
and
vsed
amongst
them
.
THere
are
four
kindes
of
Weights
that
are
mentioned
in
the
Scriptures
,
which
were
common
amongst
the
Iewes
,
besides
the
former
,
viz.
Zahab
,
of
which
you
may
reade
,
2
Kings
,
5.5
.
2
Chr.
9.16
.
and
is
called
by
the
name
of
a
Nummus
.
The
Sicle
of
gold
,
1
Chr.
21.25
.
which
is
there
also
called
Nummus
.
Both
which
being
so
called
,
seem
to
signifie
a
Didrachma
of
gold
:
and
these
two
were
properly
belonging
to
the
Iewes
.
The
other
that
follow
belonged
not
to
them
,
but
they
receiued
them
from
other
nations
;
as
the
Stater
,
Drachmon
,
and
Adarchon
.
The
Stater
was
an
antient
piece
of
gold
common
amongst
the
Persians
,
Grecians
,
Romans
,
and
other
great
gouernments
,
being
distinguished
by
the
superscription
of
the
Kings
or
Countries
where
they
were
made
or
coined
;
as
the
Stater
Philippici
,
Darici
,
Alexandrei
,
Romani
,
&c.
They
were
pure
fine
gold
,
some
of
which
were
as
much
in
value
as
a
double
ducat
,
others
as
4
Hungarian
ducats
,
and
some
as
Portagues
.
The
Drachmon
(
of
which
you
may
reade
,
Ezra
8.27
,
&c.
)
is
a
Persian
coin
as
it
seems
,
for
the
Grecian
interpreters
cal
it
Drachmen
,
which
is
as
much
more
as
the
Attick
Drachma
,
and
in
our
mony
is
worth
7
s.
6
d.
Adarcon
also
seemes
to
be
a
Persian
coine
,
and
doth
imply
the
name
of
a
prince
,
or
Daricum
signifies
the
gold
of
the
Persians
:
For
Darius
the
son
of
Hystaspis
then
reigned
,
when
these
Nummus
of
gold
thus
called
,
were
dedidated
to
the
building
of
the
Temple
;
and
this
man
for
the
most
part
coined
singular
good
gold
,
as
Herodotus
saith
:
Thus
you
may
perceiue
what
diuersities
of
weights
were
vsed
amongst
the
Iewes
;
being
crept
in
amongst
them
partly
because
of
their
captiuitie
,
and
partly
because
of
their
commerce
&
trade
with
other
Nations
.
It
is
therefore
worthy
of
obseruation
,
that
if
at
any
time
you
reade
of
any
weight
of
mony
,
brasse
,
or
the
like
in
the
holy
Scripture
,
to
consider
of
what
sort
of
weight
it
is
,
viz.
whether
a
Weight
of
the
Iewes
,
or
some
forreine
and
strange
Weight
.
If
of
the
Iewes
,
Whether
it
be
a
common
Sicle
,
the
Kings
sicle
,
or
the
sicle
of
the
Temple
.
But
if
these
may
bee
discerned
,
you
shall
for
the
most
part
finde
the
Addition
,
which
may
easily
distinguish
them
.
But
if
there
be
no
addition
,
that
is
,
the
Kings
sicle
,
or
the
sicle
of
the
Temple
,
then
you
may
presume
that
it
is
the
common
sicle
.
And
so
for
other
weights
&
monies
.
¶
That
these
things
may
appeare
the
plainer
vnto
you
,
I
haue
here
added
the
principall
summes

in

called
Didrachma

from

that

Thus
haue
I
briefly
set
forth
to
you
the
seuerall
weights
that
were
common
amongst
the
Iewes
,
both
as
they
were
originally
from
themselues
,
and
as
they
receiued
them
from
other
Nations
,
comparing
them
with
the
Scriptures
as
they
are
seuerally
mentioned
,
and
reduced
them
to
our
valuations
.
In
casting
vp
of
which
,
if
there
shall
chance
to
be
any
errour
,
you
may
with
the
due
examination
of
the
worth
of
euery
piece
of
siluer
or
Gold
(
according
as
you
may
finde
them
at
the
beginning
of
this
Treatise
)
easily
reforme
them
,
and
bring
them
to
your
owne
vnderstanding
.
Of
the
ancient
Money
and
Coyne
that
was
vsed
amongst
the
Graecians
and
Romans
.
FRom
what
hath
beene
said
,
may
be
gathered
,
that
the
Iewes
vsed
no
Coyne
but
Weights
onely
,
though
perhaps
to
put
a
distinction
betweene
those
Weights
,
there
was
vsed
some
impression
:
yet
that
cannot
properly
bee
said
Coyne
.
But
in
all
other
Kingdomes
(
where
money
was
currant
)
there
was
vsed
Coyne
;
and
that
valued
according
to
the
will
of
command
of
the
Prince
or
State
where
it
was
coyned
:
which
also
because
of
the
captiuitie
of
the
Iewes
,
came
amongst
them
,
and
past
as
currant
according
to
their
worth
;
of
which
Coynes
I
haue
already
spoken
.
Yet
because
there
are
many
other
Coynes
and
Weights
mentioned
in
the
Epistles
of
the
Apostles
,
which
were
partly
of
the
Graecians
,
partly
of
the
Romanes
,
into
which
gouernments
most
of
them
trauelled
;
I
will
therefore
endeauor
to
set
before
you
the
valuation
of
the
Graecian
and
Romane
Coynes
and
Weights
reduced
ro
our
valuation
and
Weights
,
that
so
those
monies
mentioned
in
the
New
Testament
,
and
in
this
Treatise
omitted
,
may
with
the
more
facilitie
be
apprehended
and
made
plaine
vnto
you
.

and
of

Apostles

BVt
since
I
haue
briefly
related
the
Trauels
of
the
antient
Patriarchs
,
Iudges
,
Kings
and
Prophets
,
(
which
things
I
know
canot
be
vnprofitable
vnto
such
as
are
iuditious
)
mentioned
in
the
old
Testament
;
that
I
might
make
a
perfect
end
of
what
I
haue
begun
,
I
will
proceed
and
shew
vnto
you
the
trauels
of
all
the
holy
men
and
women
mentioned
in
the
new
Testament
:
where
by
due
obseruation
of
this
discourse
you
may
well
vnderstand
,
that
as
all
the
nations
of
the
world
were
deriued
from
one
man
,
that
is
,
Adam
;
so
all
the
Righteous
and
such
as
are
to
be
saued
are
deriued
from
one
man
,
that
is
,
Christ
Iesus
.
For
as
by
the
first
Adam
sin
came
into
the
world
,
and
by
sin
,
death
and
damnation
;
so
by
the
second
Adam
that
sinne
is
pardoned
,
and
man
made
partaker
of
eternall
happinesse
.
And
that
these
things
might
be
the
more
apparant
vnto
thee
,
I
haue
described
the
Townes
,
Cities
,
and
places
mentioned
in
their
seuerall
Trauels
;
both
what
they
were
in
former
times
,
and
what
they
are
at
this
present
:
That
so
by
the
due
consideration
of
both
,
thou
mightst
obserue
the
mutation
and
change
of
estates
;
since
through
the
revolution
of
times
,
those
things
which
seeme
most
permanent
,
haue
within
the
compasse
of
a
few
yeares
beene
subuerted
,
and
the
ruines
of
those
Cities
which
haue
been
greatest
,
left
to
make
euident
lamentable
examples
of
vast
and
vnheard
of
destructions
,
from
whence
such
as
haue
any
small
knowledg
of
the
Spirit
,
may
draw
such
comfortable
resolutions
,
that
neither
pouerty
can
subuert
them
,
nor
riches
and
honor
exalt
them
;
but
according
to
S.
Iames
,
ca.
1.
They
may
possesse
themselues
in
peace
;
since
neither
the
prosperitie
of
the
world
is
permanent
,
nor
the
aduersitie
thereof
intolerable
.
The
knowledge
of
both
which
,
how
soeuer
to
some
it
may
seeme
ridiculous
,
yet
to
such
as
are
at
all
touched
with
the
sence
of
worldly
affaires
,
it
cannot
chuse
but
take
a
deep
impression
,
and
draw
them
thence
to
the
knowledge
of
Christ
Iesus
and
of
his
doctrine
.
To
which
end
and
for
which
purpose
I
haue
principally
endeauored
to
publish
this
Treatise
,
that
so
comparing
the
estate
of
man
in
this
present
world
with
the
estate
of
grace
in
the
world
to
come
,
they
might
perceiue
the
impotencie
of
the
one
,
and
the
permanencie
of
the
other
,
and
from
both
draw
immoueable
Axiomes
;
That
there
can
be
no
saluation
where
there
is
no
humilitie
,
nor
no
prosperity
where
there
is
not
a
knowledge
of
Christ
Iesus
in
his
humanitie
:
and
thence
gather
,
That
the
afflictions
of
this
world
,
to
which
hee
is
most
subiect
through
the
whole
course
of
his
life
,
is
the
ready
means
to
honor
and
immortal
glory
.
But
that
these
things
may
the
better
appeare
vnto
thee
,
I
will
endeauor
to
lay
before
thee
the
beginning
,
and
(
so
farre
as
the
holy
Scripture
leads
mee
)
the
ending
of
our
Sauiour
.
From
whence
thou
mayst
draw
such
comfortable
resolutions
,
that
in
what
estate
soeuer
thou
art
,
whether
in
prosperitie
or
aduersitie
,
thou
mayst
therewith
rest
content
,
&c.
Of
Zacharias
the
father
of
Iohn
Baptist
.
ZAcharias
or
Zachariahu
signifies
Gods
remembrance
.
This
man
was
the
father
of
Iohn
the
Baptist
,
being
a
Priest
of
the
Tribe
of
Aaron
,
and
dwelling
at
a
Towne
called
Abia
,
of
which
you
may
reade
1
Chr.
24.
There
were
three
famous
men
of
this
name
,
as
Basilius
saith
.
One
that
was
a
Prophet
of
the
Lord
,
and
liued
520
yeares
before
the
birth
of
Christ
,
Zachar.
1.
And
another
that
was
the
sonne
of
Iehoiada
the
high-Priest
,
who
at
the
command
of
that
ingrateful
King
Ioas
,
was
stoned
to
death
in
the
vpper
Court
of
the
Temple
,
2
Chr.
24.
And
a
third
which
was
this
Zacharias
the
father
of
Iohn
Baptist
,
and
son
of
Barachias
,
that
is
,
The
Blessed
:
who
according
to
the
opinion
of
Basil
,
was
slain
for
no
other
cause
but
for
saying
that
Christ
was
born
of
the
Virgin
Mary
.
This
man
had
to
wife
Elizabeth
,
of
the
posteritie
of
the
high-Priest
Aaron
,
and
by
her
had
a
son
called
Iohn
,
so
〈◊〉
of
the
Lord
,
who
was
afterward
called
Iohn
the
Baptist
.
Elizabeth
signifies
The
Rest
of
God
,
being
deriued
of
Eli
and
Scabbath
,
that
is
,
The
Rest
and
Sabbath
of
the
Lord
.
The
inhabitants
of
the
Holy
land
take
vpon
them
euen
to
this
day
to
shew
the
house
where
Zacharias
&
Elizabeth
dwelt
,
in
a
town
that
standeth
on
the
right
hand
of
the
way
as
you
go
from
Emmaus
to
Ierusalem
.
But
saint
Luke
,
ca.
1.
saith
,
That
Zacharias
dwelt
not
in
a
town
or
field
,
but
i●
the
city
of
Iudah
,
which
was
scituated
in
the
mountain
of
Iudah
.
Risnerus
and
Iohannes
Hedenus
write
,
That
Zacharias
dwelt
in
Ierusalem
,
in
that
part
of
the
city
scituated
vpon
mount
Bezetha
,
as
in
the
first
booke
of
the
description
of
Ierusalem
hath
bin
declared
.
And
this
seemeth
to
be
verified
out
of
Nehemia
,
cap.
3.
Yet
there
are
some
of
opinion
that
hee
dwelt
at
Hebron
,
because
that
was
the
chiefe
city
of
the
tribe
of
Iuda
,
and
a
town
of
the
Priests
.
The
Trauels

the
Virgin
Mary

MAry
,
if
it
be
deriued
of
Marah
,
signifieth
such
a
person
as
is
oppressed
with
carefulnesse
and
griefe
,
one
that
is
layd
open
to
all
miserie
and
calamity
,
prest
with
continual
vexation
and
mourning
.
She
was
born
vpon
the
8
day
of
September
14
yeares
before
the
birth
of
Christ
;
and
in
the
fifteenth
of
her
age
brought
forth
her
only
begotten
son
,
according
to
S.
Hierome
and
others
.
Her
fathers
name
was
Eliakim
,
of
the
house
of
Dauid
.
Vpon
the
fiue
and
twentieth
day
of
March
in
the
same
yeare
that
our
Sauior
Christ
was
born
,
Mary
being
then
14
yeares
old
,
and
the
Angel
Gabriel
declared
vnto
her
the
embassie
of
the
Conception
of
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
.
A
little
after
,
about
the
beginning
of
April
,
an
.
M.
3967
,
she
went
from
Nazareth
in
great
haste
ouer
the
hils
to
Ierusalem
,
64
miles
,
to
the
house
of
Zacharias
,
and
there
saluted
her
cousin
Elizabeth
,
Luk.

From
thence
she
returned
back
again
to
Nazareth
,
which
was
64
miles
.
And
when
the
command
came
out
from
Augustus
,
that
all
the
world
should
be
taxed
,
then
Ioseph
and
Mary
went
from
Nazareth
to
Bethlehem
,
72
miles
:
and
there
the
time
of
Maries
deleuerance
drew
neere
;
and
lo
,
she
bare
the
Son
of
the
liuing
God
,
our
Lord
and
Sauior
Christ
,
Luke
2.
From
Bethlehem
Ioseph
and
Mary
brought
the
childe
Iesus
to
Ierusalem
,
and
presented
him
in
the
Temple
,
which
was
6
miles
,
Luke
2.
And
when
they
had
accomplished
all
things
according
to
the
Law
,
they
returned
backe
again
to
Nazareth
a
towne
in
Galilee
,
64
miles
.
From
Nazareth
they
went
backe
again
to
Bethlem
,
72
miles
,
Thither
the
Wise
men
comming
out
of
the
East
brought
the
childe
Iesus
Gold
,
Frankincense
and
Myrrh
,
Mat.

From
Bethlehem
(
the
same
night
that
Herod
caused
all
the
infants
of
two
yeares
old
and
vnder
to
be
slain
)
Ioseph
and
Mary
fled
with
the
childe
Iesus
to
Hermopolis
a
city
in
Egypt
,
which
was
296
miles
,

lib.

From
thence
they
returned
back
again
with
the
child
Iesus
to
Nazareth
,
368
miles
:
for
they
were
greatly
afraid
lest
Archilaus
(
who
succeeded
his
father
Herod
in
the
gouerment
of
the
Iews
)
would
seeke
the
childes
life
,
Mat.

From
Nazareth
Ioseph
and
Mary
came
euery
yere
to
Ierusalem
,
which
was
64
miles
,
to
the
feast
of
the
Passeouer
,
and
so
many
miles
backe
againe
;
which
for
ten
yeares
continuance
came
to
1280
miles
.
When
Christ
was
twelue
yeares
of
age
,
and
at
the
beginning
of
the
thirteenth
,
he
went
with
his
parents
from
Nazareth
to
the
feast
of
the
Passeouer
,
which
was
64
miles
,
Luke
2.
And
when
the
daies
of
the
feast
of
the
Passeouer
were
accomplished
,
they
returned
home
againe
.
But
the
childe
Iesus
staied
at
Ierusalem
,
and
his
parents
knew
it
not
,
for
they
thought
he
had
beene
among
the
company
.
Wherefore
,
when
they
had
trauelled
a
dayes
journey
(
that
is
,
twentie
miles
)
they
missed
their
sonne
.
After
,
they
searcht
through
the
companie
,
but
could
not
finde
him
:
wherefore
they
returned
backe
to
Ierusalem
being
20
miles
where
on
the
third
day
after
they
found
him
in
the
Temple
,
sitting
among
the
Doctors
,
and
disputing
with
them
.
So
the
next
three
daies
he
returned
back
again
with
his
parents
to
Nazereth
,
which
was
64
miles
,
and
was
obedient
to
them
,
Luke
2.
After
,
Iosoph
and
Mary
went
euery
yeare
during
the
life
of
Ioseph
,
vp
to
Ierusalem
to
the
Passeouer
,
and
without
all
doubt
took
Iesus
along
with
them
.
Thus
they
continued
for
the
space
of
three
yeares
,
about
which
time
Ioseph
died
,
Christ
beeing
then
16
yeares
of
age
,
which
three
yeares
trauell
of
Nazareth
to
Ierusalem
and
backe
againe
,
commeth
to
384
miles
.
From
that
time
forward
he
continued
with
his
mother
,
till
he
was
31
yeares
of
age
,
which
was
the
first
yeare
of
his
ministerie
.
Marie
his
mother
being
then
45
yeares
old
,
was
inuited
to
a
marriage
in
Cana
,
a
city
of
Galile
,
which
stood
eight
miles
from
Ga●ile
towards
the
North-west
,
Iohn
2.
Here
our
Sauiour
Christ
wrought
his
first
miracle
,
by
changing
water
into
Wine
.
From
Cana
in
Galile
she
went
with
our
Sauiour
to
Capernaum
,
a
city
of
Galile
,
a
little
before
the
feast
of
the
Paschal
Lamb
,
which
was
20
miles
.
From
Capernaum
she
returned
back
to
Nazareth
,
which
was
accounted
12
miles
.
In
the
32
yeare
of
the
age
of
our
Sauiour
Christ
,
which
was
●he
second
of
his
ministerie
,
Mary
went
from
Nazareth
backe
againe
to
Capernaum
,
where
our
Sauiour
Christ
cast
forth
a
diuell
,
Matt.
12.
Matke
3.
which
was
12
miles
.
From
thence
shee
returned
backe
againe
to
Nazareth
,
which
was
12
miles
:
for
in
this
Towne
shee
dwelt
,
whiles
Iesus
trauelled
from
place
to
place
teaching
and
preaching
the
word
of
God
,
Marke
6.
And
although
shee
oftentimes
went
from
Nazareth
with
him
to
many
places
,
continuing
still
in
his
company
;
yet
then
specially
,
when
he
was
to
sustaine
the
wrath
of
God
,
and
punishment
for
the
sinne
of
man
,
which
was
in
the
34
yeare
of
his
age
.
In
which
yeare
shee
would
not
forsake
him
till
his
death
:
for
shee
went
from
Galile
to
Ierusalem
with
him
,
which
was
64
miles
,
a
great
journey
for
one
of
her
age
(
being
then
48
yeares
old
.
)
And
when
our
Sauiour
was
crucified
,
shee
stood
close
by
the
crosse
with
a
heauie
and
pensiue
countenance
,
bewailing
the
death
of
her
sonne
.
Then
was
the
prophecie
of
old
Simeon
accomplished
,
And
a
sword
shall
passe
through
thy
soule
.
But
after
,
by
his
glorious
resurrection
and
ascension
,
shee
was
reuiued
and
comforted
.
From
the
passion
of
Christ
to
the
death
of
the
blessed
virgin
Marie
,
was
12
yeares
:
All
which
time
shee
liued
with
Iohn
the
Euangelist
in
Ierusalem
,
and
then
being
59
yeares
of
age
dyed
,
and
was
buried
(
according
to
the
opinion
of
Nicephorus
and
others
)
in
the
garden
called
Gethsamene
.
So
all
her
Trauels
were
3506
miles
.
Now
followes
the
description
of
the
townes
and
places
to
which
she
trauelled
.
Of
Nazareth
.
THis
was
a
towne
almost
of
no
estimation
,
scituated
in
a
certaine
mountaine
in
Galile
the
lower
,
sixtie
and
foure
miles
and
something
more
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
North
,
in
the
tribe
of
Zebulon
.
In
this
Towne
our
Sauiour
Iesus
Christ
was
brought
vp
,
Luke
1.2
.
Some
say
that
it
was
nineteene
or
twenty
miles
from
Ierusalem
,
but
they
mistake
themselues
;
yet
I
will
not
dispute
thereof
,
but
follow
my
authors
,
Iacobus
Ziglerus
,
and
Tilmanus
Stella
.
There
is
not
any
mention
made
of
it
,
that
is
exstant
in
the
old
Testament
.
It
hath
a
two
fold
deriuation
,
the
one
by
Zain
,
and
the
other
by
Zade
.
If
it
bee
written
by
Zaien
,
it
may
haue
a
twofold
signification
,
since
the
exposition
of
this
name
doth
depend
vpon
the
Verbe
Nazar
,
which
signifies
,
to
consecrate
and
keepe
;
from
hence
Nezaer
,
a
garland
of
floure
,
or
a
crowne
set
with
pretious
stones
,
&c.
such
as
Kings
and
high
Priests
are
accustomed
to
weare
.
Also
from
the
same
word
Nazar
,
is
deriued
Nazir
;
&
thence
Nazaraeus
,
which
is
as
much
to
say
,
he
is
separated
from
the
vse
of
wine
;
and
suffering
his
haire
to
bee
vncut
,
as
being
dedicated
to
the
Lord
.
Therefore
our
Sauiour
Christ
is
justly
called
a
Nazarite
,
Luke
2.
For
Naezer
first
signifies
,
a
holy
man
,
who
hath
made
a
holy
vow
vnto
the
Lord
:
Secondly
,
it
doth
denote
a
crowne
or
wreathe
of
synceritie
,
Exod.
29.39
.
Thirdly
,
a
holy
ointment
wherewith
Kings
and
Priests
were
annointed
Leuit.
27.
and
fourthly
,
this
word
Nezaer
,
signifies
a
Princely
crowne
,
2
Sam.
1.
2
Kings
11.
Psal.
89.132
.
So
that
Nazareth
being
deriued
of
Nazar
and
Nazir
,
may
signifie
both
a
crowne
,
and
a
holy
citie
,
Iudg.
13.
but
if
Nazareth
be
written
by
Zade
,
it
signifies
a
flourishing
plant
or
graffe
,
according
to
that
of
Isay
cap.
11.
But
there
shall
come
a
rod
forth
of
the
stocke
of
Ishai
,
and
a
graffe
shall
grow
out
of
his
root
,
and
the
spirit
of
the
Lord
shall
rest
vpon
him
.
The
inhabitants
of
this
Towne
at
this
day
shew
certaine
monuments
and
reliques
of
what
had
happened
in
preceding
ages
:
as
,
two
Churches
,
one
built
there
where
the
Angell
Gabriel
saluted
the
blessed
Virgin
,
and
shee
conceiued
by
the
spirit
:
In
which
there
stands
three
altars
hewen
out
of
a
rock
:
and
the
other
built
(
as
they
say
)
where
the
house
of
Ioseph
and
Marie
stood
,
because
there
our
Sauiour
Christ
was
brought
vp
.
Also
they
shew
a
well
where
the
childe
Iesus
drew
water
and
ministred
to
his
mother
.
They
also
shew
the
vast
ruines
of
the
sinagogue
where
our
Sauiour
Christ
expounded
the
61
chapter
of
Isay
;
for
which
cause
they
would
haue
throwne
him
headlong
downe
the
hill
,
Luke
4.
And
many
other
things
,
of
which
you
may
reade
in
Borchardus
the
Monke
.
In
Saint
Ieroms
time
some
40
yeares
before
Christ
,
Nazareth
was
a
small
towne
called
Nazarah
.
Of
the
mountaines
by
which
Mary
passed
when
she
went
to
visit
her
cosen
Elizabeth
.
BEtweene
Narareth
and
Ierusalem
,
there
standeth
many
high
hils
,
as
Mount
Gilboa
,
whereon
King
Saul
killed
himselfe
;
Mount
Grisim
,
and
Hebal
,
vpon
which
hills
the
blessings
and
cursings
were
pronounced
,
Deut.
27.
and
mount
Ephraim
,
vpon
which
Ehud
kild
Eglon
king
of
the
Moabites
,
Iudg.
13.
Ouer
this
mountaine
,
being
very
great
and
steepe
,
Mary
trauelled
when
she
went
to
visit
her
cosen
Elizabeth
.
Of
Bethlehem
.
THere
were
two
cities
called
by
this
name
,
the
one
Bethlem
Iuda
;
the
other
Bethlem
Euphrata
where
our
sauior
Christ
was
borne
,
and
signifies
,
fruitfull
,
or
the
house
of
Bread
:
It
stood
vpon
a
hil
some
6
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
South
.
The
inhabitants
take
vpon
them
to
shew
the
place
where
our
sauiour
Christ
was
borne
,
which
stood
vpon
the
East
side
of
the
Citie
,
close
by
the
wall
thereof
;
where
as
Eusebius
sayth
,
Hellen
the
Mother
of
Constantine
the
Great
,
caused
to
bee
built
a
faire
and
stately
Church
,
three
hundred
and
twentie
yeares
after
the
natiuitie
of
Christ
.
This
Church
was
dedicated
to
Saint
Marie
,
and
remaineth
to
this
day
,
being
had
in
great
honour
both
amongst
the
Christians
,
and
the
Turkes
and
Sarazins
.
This
Church
is
such
a
stately
building
,
that
it
is
thought
to
exceede
all
the
Churches
of
Christendome
,
for
beautie
and
curious
workemanship
:
It
is
two
hundred
twentie
and
eight
foot
long
,
and
eightie
seuen
foot
wide
,
beeing
built
all
of
Marble
of
diuers
colours
,
and
couered
with
lead
:
There
are
in
it
foure
rowes
of
Marble
pillars
,
wonderfull
to
looke
vpon
,
not
onely
in
regard
of
their
number
,
but
of
their
greatnesse
,
for
there
is
fiftie
pillars
in
euery
row
.
The
body
of
this
church
,
the
pillars
from
the
bottom
to
the
top
,
the
walls
,
and
euerie
part
of
it
,
is
beautified
with
liuely
pictures
,
adorned
with
diuers
colours
,
siluer
,
gold
,
and
curious
workemanship
,
so
as
it
is
wonderfull
to
behold
.
The
pauement
of
it
is
of
marble
;
polished
,
and
of
diuers
colors
,
so
cunningly
set
in
workes
,
and
with
such
variety
,
that
it
is
very
delightful
to
such
as
look
on
it
.
There
is
painted
on
the
pillars
and
walls
,
almost
all
the
stories
of
the
Old
Testament
,
till
the
birth
of
our
Lord
and
Sauiour
Iesus
Christ
,
with
such
excellent
cunning
,
and
so
liuely
,
that
it
is
to
bee
admired
.
In
the
Quire
of
this
Church
there
is
found
two
Altars
,
one
close
by
the
Chappell
of
Saint
Katherine
,
at
the
East
end
thereof
;
not
far
distant
from
which
they
shew
the
place
where
our
Sauiour
was
circumcised
:
and
in
the
middle
of
the
Quire
there
standeth
another
Altar
,
where
they
say
the
wise
men
left
their
Dromedaries
,
and
prepared
their
gifts
to
present
vnto
our
Sauiour
,
when
they
worshipped
him
.
Vpon
the
South
side
of
this
quire
towards
the
East
,
they
descend
by
ten
stone
steps
into
the
Chappell
of
the
Natiuitie
of
Christ
,
richly
beautified
and
curiously
wrought
,
paued
with
polished
Narble
.
This
Chappell
is
not
very
great
,
but
wonderfull
faire
and
sumptuous
.
When
the
Holy
land
was
ouerrun
by
the
Gentiles
,
this
(
as
many
other
places
were
in
that
countrey
)
was
all
polluted
with
filth
and
dirt
,
that
they
had
much
adoe
to
make
it
cleane
a
great
while
after
.
Vpon
the
place
where
they
said
our
Lady
the
blessed
Virgin
Mary
,
brought
forth
our
Sauiour
into
the
world
,
there
is
placed
a
Table
of
white
Marble
,
after
the
maner
of
an
Altar
:
about
some
foure
foot
from
this
they
shew
the
place
where
the
Manger
stood
,
a
part
of
it
yet
remaining
,
cut
out
of
a
rocke
,
not
of
Marble
but
of
other
stone
,
as
many
other
Mangers
are
in
that
countrey
.
Close
by
that
there
is
an
Altar
,
where
they
say
the
wise-men
presented
their
gifts
to
our
Sauiour
Christ
,
and
worshipped
him
.
At
the
entrance
into
the
Church
there
standeth
a
goodly
building
,
which
in
times
past
seemed
to
haue
been
some
Archbishops
See
,
but
now
is
called
Saint
Maries
Church
.
Vpon
the
North
side
they
descended
by
certaine
stepps
into
the
Chappell
of
Saint
Ierom
,
who
lay
a
long
time
buried
there
,
till
his
bones
were
remoued
thence
to
Saint
Maries
in
Rome
.
About
a
mile
from
Bethlehem
Southward
,
stood
the
Tower
of
Eder
,
being
a
watch
tower
of
the
Bethlehemites
,
and
so
called
because
there
resorted
thither
many
flockes
of
sheepe
:
for
Aeder
signifieth
A
Heard
.
Round
about
this
Tower
were
faire
and
fruitfull
pastures
,
to
which
many
sheepheards
resorted
to
feed
their
flockes
;
to
some
of
which
sheepheards
the
Angels
told
the
glad
tidings
of
the
birth
of
our
Sauiour
,
and
that
he
was
laid
in
a
Manger
at
Bethlehem
.
For
which
cause
,
in
after
times
there
was
a
Church
built
iust
in
the
place
where
the
Tower
stood
;
and
in
Saint
Ieroms
time
called
by
the
name
of
Angelos
ad
Pastores
:
the
same
Luther
affirmeth
,
and
that
it
is
yet
standing
.
Iacob
sometime
dwelt
in
that
place
,
and
buried
his
wife
Rachel
thereabouts
.
The
monument
that
hee
set
vpon
her
graue
remaineth
to
this
day
,
which
was
twelue
stones
pitcht
an
end
,
standing
about
a
quarter
of
a
mile
from
this
place
,
vpon
the
right
hand
as
they
goe
to
Ierusalem
:
of
which
graue
,
all
the
countrey
thereabouts
is
called
by
the
name
of
Rachel
.
Of
the
way
betweene
Iudaea
and
Aegypt
.
BEtweene
Aegypt
and
Iudaea
lieth
Arabia
Petraea
:
a
land
for
the
most
part
barren
and
vnfruitfull
,
full
of
sands
,
rockes
,
and
mountaines
,
destitute
of
water
,
and
subject
to
many
dangers
:
being
in
the
Summer
solstice
scorched
with
extremity
of
heate
,
the
Sun
being
then
perpendiculer
ouer
them
(
according
to
Munster
)
in
the
day
time
;
and
in
the
night
,
troubled
with
extreame
windes
,
which
blowing
the
sand
with
great
violence
,
it
casteth
it
vpon
great
heapes
and
mountaines
,
by
which
dust
,
both
beasts
and
sometime
men
are
suffocated
and
slaine
.
Moreouer
there
dwell
in
this
Desart
,
a
rude
and
dangerous
people
,
called
Saracens
;
who
take
their
beginning
from
Ishmael
,
and
are
therefore
also
called
Ishmaelites
,
being
giuen
to
crueltie
and
maliciousnesse
.
They
get
their
liuing
for
the
most
part
,
by
theft
and
violence
:
and
as
Ishmael
was
an
excellent
Archer
,
so
they
also
are
very
cunning
in
shooting
and
hunting
,
vsing
to
this
day
their
ancient
euill
custome
of
robbing
and
spoiling
all
that
passe
that
way
;
insomuch
as
Merchants
are
constrained
to
goe
in
great
companies
,
lest
they
should
be
indangered
by
them
,
and
by
reason
of
the
windes
and
sands
are
constrained
to
guide
their
journey
by
the
compasse
,
as
men
doe
that
saile
vpon
the
sea
.
Through
this
wildernesse
did
Ioseph
and
Marie
passe
,
when
they
went
with
the
childe
Iesus
out
of
Iudaea
into
Aegypt
;
where
they
were
in
danger
of
theeues
,
subjects
to
be
smothered
by
the
sands
,
constrained
to
trauell
ouer
high
rockes
and
mountaines
,
and
to
rest
in
feare
because
of
Lyons
,
Beares
,
and
other
beasts
which
greatly
abound
in
that
place
.
Besides
,
diuers
other
discommodities
were
incident
vnto
them
,
as
want
of
meate
,
drinke
,
and
other
necessaries
,
there
being
little
water
to
be
found
there
,
insomuch
as
had
not
the
Lord
by
an
expresse
command
charged
him
in
a
dreame
to
goe
downe
into
Aegypt
;
Ioseph
durst
hardly
haue
ventured
vpon
so
difficult
and
dangerous
a
journey
.
But
the
Lord
so
mercifully
prouided
for
him
,
that
he
both
went
and
returned
safe
.
Thus
may
we
see
to
what
dangers
these
good
people
were
exposed
,
and
what
miseries
they
sustained
from
the
beginning
because
of
their
sonne
Christ
Iesus
.
Of
Hermopilis
.
HErmopilis
was
called
the
Towne
of
Mercurie
,
distant
from
Ierusalem
304
miles
towards
the
Southwest
:
it
was
one
of
the
chiefe
cities
in
Aegypt
,
as
Appianus
writeth
.
Nicephorus
and
Zozemenus
affirme
,
lib.
5.
cap.

that
Ioseph
and
Mary
came
and
liued
in
this
Towne
,
where
they
continued
all
the
daies
of
Herod
that
cruel
King
.
But
Ziglerius
saith
,
that
they
liued
in
the
land
of
Gosen
,
where
the
Patriarch
Iacob
and
his
posteritie
liued
:
which
agreeth
well
with
the
words
of
S.
Matthew
cap.
2.
and
Hosea
11.
Out
of
Aegypt
haue
I
called
my
sonne
.
This
land
of
Gosen
lay
200
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
Southwest
.
The
inhabitants
of
Alcaire
in
Aegypt
take
vpon
them
to
shew
the
place
where
Ioseph
and
Mary
dwelt
when
they
went
downe
into
that
countrey
;
but
how
true
it
is
I
cannot
tell
,
because
there
is
no
Author
for
it

Of

This
was
city
in

.
THis
towne
stood
vpon
the

;
of

The
trauels
of
the
Wise-men
out
of
the
East
,
which
came
to
Bethlehem
to
see
IESVS
.
THe
Magi
were
certaine
wise
men
of
Persia
,
so
called
from
Meditation
,
being
deriued
of
Hagah
,
that
is
,
He
hath
meditated
;
and
taken
in
the
third
conjugation
,
it
signifies
,
To
finde
or
search
out
a
thing
:
they
being
such
as
gaue
themselues
to
the
knowledge
of
hard
things
,
and
to
finde
out
the
secrets
and
misteries
of
nature
.
But
according
to
Varinus
,
they
were
not
only
Philosophers
,
but
Priests
also
.
And
Plato
vpon
Alcibiades
,
saith
,
Magia
est
deorum
obseruantia
siue
cultus
diuinus
;
that
is
,
Magicke
prescribeth
the
due
obseruance
and
diuine
worship
of
the
gods
.
Strabo
saith
,
Geogra
.
lib.
6.
That
the
Magi
were
such
among
the
Persians
,
as
those
whom
the
Indians
call
Gimnosophists
and
Academians
;
the
Babylonians
,
Chaldaeans
;
and
the
Hebrewes
,
Prophets
,
or
Priests
,
which
taught
the
people
diuine
knowledge
.
And
when
the
ten
Tribes
were
carried
into
captiuitie
by
Salmanasser
Emperour
of
the
Assirians
(
into
Assiria
,
Media
,
and
Persia
)
there
is
no
question
but
they
tooke
with
them
into
the
East
,
the
holy
bookes
and
volumes
of
the
Law
and
of
the
Prophets
,
whereby
without
doubt
many
of
the
people
and
Philosophers
of
the
East
came
to
haue
a
taste
of
the
true
knowledge
and
worship
of
God
.
Also
the
Prophet
Daniel
was
brought
vp
in
all
the
arts
of
the
Chaldaeans
;
whose
writings
and
prophecies
were
not
only
written
and
published
amongst
the
Babylonians
,
but
also
had
in
great
account
and
estimation
amongst
the
Magi
:
so
that
they
diligently
perusing
those
books
,
came
not
only
to
the
knowledge
of
God
,
but
also
without
doubt
to
the
knowledge
of
our
Sauiour
Iesus
Christ
,
whom
they
called
The
Starre
of
Iacob
;
from
whence
may
be
concluded
,
That
the
Wise-men
that
came
to
see
our
Sauiour
Christ
,
were
rather
of
Susa
in
Persia
,
than
of
Zaba
in
Aethyopia
.
Wherefore
these
wise-men
came
from
the
Academy
of
Susa
in
Persia
to
Ierusalem
,
which
was
920
miles
;
saying
,
Where
is
he
that
is
borne
King
of
the
Iewes
,
for
we
haue
seen
his
Starre
in
the
East
,
and
are
come
to
worship
him
.
This
hapned
in
the
moneth
of
Ianuarie
,
in
the
second
yeare
after
the
birth
of
our
Sauiour
;
for
Herod
in
the
seuentieth
yeare
of
his
age
caused
all
the
male
children
of
the
Bethlemites
of
two
yeares
old
and
vnder
(
according
to
the
time
that
he
was
told
of
the
Wise-men
)
to
be
put
to
the
sword
.
From
Ierusalem
they
went
to
Bethlehem
,
which
was
6
miles
,
where
vpon
the
sixt
of
Ianuary
they
offered
their
Presents
which
they
brought
out
of
Persia
,
to
our
Sauior
;
viz.
Gold
,
as
to
a
King
;
Frankincense
,
as
to
a
Priest
;
and
Myrrhe
,
as
to
a
mortall
man
,
Mat.
2.
So
let
vs
offer
vnto
Christ
our
Sauior
,
the
Gold
of
faith
and
heauenly
doctrine
;
the
Frankincense
of
earnest
prayers
,
and
the
myrrhe
of
patience
in
the
midst
of
calamitie
.
Afterward
,
the
Wise-men
(
as
they
had
bin
warned
in
a
dream
)
returned
another
way
to
Susa
in
Persia
,
which
was
920
miles
.
So
their
trauels
were
1846
miles
.
Of
Susa
you
may
reade
before
in
the
trauels
of
the
Old
Testament
.
Of
the
Starre
that
appeared
to
the
Wise-men
in
the
East
.
SInce
this
Starre
appeared
in
the
lower
region
of
the
aire
(
as
it
is
apparant
it
did
)
from
thence
it
may
be
concluded
,
That
it
neither
was
any
of
the
fixed
starres
,
planet
,
or
a
Comet
,
because
they
commonly
are
seene
in
the
vpper
region
of
the
aire
;
but
rather
,
according
to
the
opinion
of
some
,
it
was
an
Angell
of
God
appearing
in
the
forme
of
a
bright
shining
Starre
,
to
direct
the
Wise-men
in
their
way
as
they
went
to
the
town
of
Bethlem
;
and
so
by
little
and
little
descending
from
the
sublimitie
of
the
aire
,
pointed
out
vnto
them
the
very
house
where
they
might
find
Mary
the
mother
of
our
Lord
,
and
the
childe
Iesus
.
Almost
after
the
same
manner
as
the
Angell
of
the
Lord
in
the
time
of
Moses
appeared
to
the
children
of
Israel
;
that
is
,
in
the
day
like
ta
cloudy
pillar
,
and
in
the
night
like
a
flaming
fire
,
to
direct
them
their
way
,
Exod.
13.14.34
.
Wherefore
this
Starre
without
doubt
was
no
naturall
apparition
,
which
hapned
in
the
inferiour
region
of
the
aire
,
suddenly
vanishing
away
;
but
as
I
haue
said
,
an
Angel
of
the
Lord
representing
the
forme
of
a
Starre
.
Or
else
as
Chrysostome
saith
,
a
certaine
miraculous
new
Starre
,
which
according
to
the
opinion
of
Augustine
,
was
gouerned
by
an
Angel
of
the
Lord
;
and
for
the
greatnes
of
the
body
,
and
variety
of
the
aspects
,
was
not
seene
first
in
the
land
of
Iudaea
,
but
in
Persia
,
a
countrie
in
the
East
,
where
the
Magi
dwelt
,
and
accompanied
them
thence
into
Iudea
.
And
although
for
a
short
space
it
left
them
in
the
journie
,
yet
when
they
came
in
the
way
to
Bethlem
,
it
appeared
to
them
againe
,
Mat.
2.
As
Nicephorus
and
Chrysostome
obserue
;
the
Starre
appeared
vpon
the
day
of
the
conception
of
Christ
,
being
the
25
day
of
March
;
about
which
time
the
Archangell
Gabriel
spoke
with
the
Virgin
Marie
,
Luke
1.
And
with
seene
for
a
whole
yeare
and
41
weeks
,
that
is
,
till
the
6
of
Ianuary
,
in
the
beginning
of
the
second
yeare
after
the
natiuitie
of
Christ
.
It
wanted
11
weeks
of
two
yeares
;
and
therefore
Herod
caused
all
the
male
children
of
the
Bethlehemites
of
two
yeares
old
and
vnder
,
to
be
slaine
,
according
to
the
time
declared
vnto
him
by
the
wise
men
.
Mat.
2.
Wherfore
this
new
Starre
did
first
foreshew
the
birth
of
Christ
,
that
bright
shining
Starre
and
eternall
light
of
glory
,
according
to
the
prophecie
of

Wherefore
Elizabeth
the

to

,
fearing
the

of

and
of

,
about
that
time
when
the

Vpon

of
the
Ministrie
of
our
Sauiour
,
by
the
commandement
of
Herod
,
hee
was
taken
and
led
prisoner
from
Aenon
to
the
Tower
of
Macheruntes
,
which
was
28
miles
;
where
he
remained
vntill
his
death
.
So
all
his
Trauels
were
88
miles
.
Of
the
townes
and
places
to
which
he
trauelled
.
Of
Adumim
.
ADumim
,
or
Adummim
(
as
it
is
in
Ioshua
,
ca.
15.
)
was
a
Tower
twelue
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
East
,
scituated
in
the
wildernesse
that
is
betweene
Ierusalem
and
Iericho
;
so
called
because
of
the
multitude
of
robberies
and
murthers
that
were
done
in
that
place
:
for
Dam
,
signifieth
Blood
.
Here
the
poore
man
that
Christ
mentioned
,
Luk.

fell
amongst
theeues
;
and
here
Eliah
continued
when
he
was
fed
by
the
Rauens

of
the
riuer
Cherith
,

which
was
a
notable
type
of
Iohn
the
Baptist
,
who
liued
in
a
caue
in
this
place
.
This
caue
stood
close
by
the
Garden
of
Engedi
,
where
in
former
times
the
Academie
and
Schoole
of
the
Prophets
Eliah
and
Elisha
,
was
kept
:
here
the
Esseis
(
which
was
a
Sact
amongst
the
Iewes
)
also
continued
,
who
led
a
Monasticall
kinde
of
life
,
and
gaue
themselues
wholly
to
prayers
and
good
workes
;
vnder
whose
discipline
and
instruction
Iohn
was
brought
vp
.
Mathesius
wisely
obserues
,
that
of
all
other
,
the
Esseies
would
neuer
oppose
Christ
;
but
were
a
people
that
liued
chastly
and
honestly
according
to
the
custome
of
the
Nazarites
;
with
all
diligence
reading
the
Scriptures
,
and
auoiding
idlenesse
as
a
great
temptation
of
the
diuell
,
giuing
themselues
principally
to
the
studie
of
Phisicke
.
After
rhis
sort
was
Iohn
brought
vp
.
Of
Bethabara
.
THis
was
a
towne
scituated
vpon
the
East
side
of
the
riuer
Iordan
,
16
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
East
,
where
there
was
either
a
Bridge
or
a
ferry
to
passe
ouer
Iordan
:
from
whence
this
place
was
called
Bethabara
,
being
deriued
of
Baith
,
a
house
;
and
Abarah
,
a
passage
:
Wherefore
at
a
certaine
time
there
being
assembled
in
this
place
a
great
concourse
and
congregation
of
people
,
Iohn
did
first
enter
vpon
the
ministerie
of
the
New
Testament
,
and
taught
the
people
the
Doctrine
of
Repentance
and
Baptisme
.
Here
Elias
the
Thesbite
,
who
was
a
type
of
Iohn
the
Baptist
,
was
taken
vp
into
heauen
in
a
fierie
Chariot
.
Here
Iohn
spoke
with
the
messengers
that
came
to
inquire
,
Whither
he
was
the
Christ
or
not
;
to
whom
hee
answered
,
that
hee
was
neither
Elias
nor
a
prophet
of
the
Old
Testament
,
but
the
voice
of
a
crier

And
in

whiles
Ioshua
and
the

Of

THis
towne
stood
vpon
the
West
side
of
the
riuer
of

,
42
miles
from
Ierusalem

,
a
little
on

side
of
the

of

,
neere
the
mouth
of
the
riuer

,
where
it
falleth
into

,
in
which
place
was
great
aboundance
of

Here
also
Iohn
sometimes
baptized

Of
the
meeting
together
of
the
waters
this
towne
was
called
Aenon

of

signifies
an

a
fountaine

Of

was
a
towne
of

,
beyond

,
20
miles
from

towards
the
East
,
scituated
in
a
high
mountaine
:
being
deriued
Macherah
,
that
is
,
A

This
was
one
of
the
chief
castles
of
Herod
Antipas
,
who
obtained
the
chiefe
command
in
the
citie
of
Ierusalem
,
Plin.

In
this
place
Iohn
Baptist
was
beheaded
,
as
Ioseph
.
saith
,
lib.
Antiq.
80.
c.
10.
And
although
his
Disciples
buried
his
body
thereabouts
,
yet
long
after
the
christians
remoued
his
bones
&
reliques
to
Sebasten
,
that
is
,
Samaria
,
where
they
were
the
second
time
buried
with
great
honor
and
reuerence
.
Afterward
(
as
Nicephorus
and
Theodor
saith
)
his
bones
were
taken
vp
againe
by
Iulian
the
Apostata
,
and
burnt
.
There
are
many
other
things
that
are
written
concerning
his
reliques
,
which
(
because
of
the
vncertainty
of
them
)
I
omit
to
speak
of
;
and
will
proceed
to
a
further
description
of
this
citie
.
Alexander
King
of
the
Iewes
first
built
and
fortified
it
;
and
then
making
warre
against
Aristobulus
,
it
hapned
to
be
destroied
by
Gabinus
one
of
his
Captaines
,
and
so
continued
desolate
till
Herods
time
,
who
rebuilt
the
towne
and
the
castle
,
and
fortified
it
with
strong
walls
and
high
towers
,
euen
a
hundred
and
sixtie
cubits
in
height
,
so
that
a
man
could
scarce
see
to
the
top
of
it
.
But
,
that
God
might
reuenge
the
bloud
of
his
Saints
,
at
such
time
as
Ierusalem
and
the
Holy
land
was
left
desolate
.
Lucius
Bassus
(
a
noble
Roman
)
came
to
this
citie
and
besieged
it
;
during
which
siege
,
Bassus
tooke
a
certaine
young
man
which
was
a
Prince
of
the
Iewes
called
Eliazer
,
and
caused
a
Crosse
to
be
set
on
purpose
to
haue
crucified
him
:
but
they
which
were
besieged
in
the
towne
,
seeing
the
pittifull
lamentations
this
young
man
made
,
promised
Bassus
,
if
he
would
spare
his
life
to
yeeld
vp
the
towne
,
which
he
did
;
so
the
castle
being
taken
,
the
gates
of
the
citie
were
set
open
.
But
the
Romans
fell
to
the
slaughter
without
mercie
,
&
put
to
the
sword
1700
persons
,
besides
there
were
a
great
multitude
of
women
and
children
carried
thence
into
captiuitie
,
as
Iosephus
(
lib.
de
Bello
Iud.
7.
cap.
25.
)
affirmeth
.
There
were
many
goodly
wells
,
and
stately
buildings
,
within
this
city
:
there
is
cut
out
in
the
castle
a
Rue
tree
of
an
admirable
greatnesse
.
And
in
the
valley
vpon
the
North
side
of
the
Citie
,
the
root
Baarus
is
found
,
presenting
both
in
colour
and
figure
a
flame
.
There
are
also
found
many
hot
Baithes
and
Fountaines
of
wholsome
waters
.
But
aboue
the
rest
,
Iosephus
maketh
mention
of
one
in
a
caue
,
where
two
streames
issueth
,
as
it
were
out
of
two
duggs
;
the
one
hot
,
the
other
cold
:
which
two
waters
being
mingled
together
,
are
very
wholesome
and
cure
many
diseases
,
but
principally
the
shrinking
of
the
sinewes
.
And
this
shall
suffice
concerning
the
trauels
of
Iohn
the
Baptist
.

Lord
and

FRom
Bethlehem
the
childe
Iesus
was
brought
to
Ierusalem
,
and
there
presented
in
the
Temple
,
Anno
Mundi
3967
,
which
was
6
miles
.
From
Ierusalem
Ioseph
and
Marie
,
(
when
they
had
accomplished
all
things
in
the
Temple
of
the
Lord
)
carried
the
childe
Iesus
to
Nazareth
in
Galile
,
which
was
64
miles
.
From
thence
Ioseph
and
Marie
brought
Iesus
backe
againe
to
Bethlehem
,
which
was
72
miles
.
Vpon
the
second
day
of
Ianuary
,
in
the
second
yeare
after
the
natiuitie
of
Christ
,
the
wise
men
of
Persia
brought
gifts
and
worshipped
him
.
A
little
after
,
that
is
,
about
the
Ides
of
Ianuary
,
just
the
night
before
the
command
came
from
Herod
to
kill
the
innocent
children
,
Ioseph
and
Marie
went
with
the
childe
Iesus
through
the
mountains
and
desarts
of
Iudaea
,
into
Aegypt
to
Hermopolis
,
in
the
land
of
Gosen
;
which
was
reckoned
from
Bethlehem
296
miles
.
From
Hermopolis
in
Aegypt
(
after
the
death
of
Herod
)
Iesus
was
brought
backe
againe
by
his
parents
to
Nazareth
in
Iudaea
,
which
was
aboue
368
miles
.
When
Iesus
was
twelue
yeres
of
age
,
he
went
with
his
parents
from
Nazareth
to
Ierusalem
,
to
the
feast
of
the
Passeouer
,
which
was
64
miles
.
And
when
his
parents
had
lost
him
,
and
found
him
againe
in
the
Temple
among
the
learned
;
then
he
continued
in
obedience
vnto
them
,
and
went
with
them
from
Ierusalem
to
Nazareth
,
which
was
64
miles
.
So
his
Trauels
were
934
miles
.
Concerning
the
townes
and
places
mentioned
in
his
Trauels
,
you
may
reade
before
in
the
Trauels
of
the
Virgin
Marie
.
The
trauels
of
our
Lord
and
Sauiour
Iesus
Christ
,
from
his
Baptisme
till
the
first
yeare
of
his
Ministrie
.
CHrist
in
the
thirtieth
yeare
of
his
age
,
went
from
Nazereth
and
came
to
Bethabara
,
which
stood
vpon
the
riuer
Iordan
,
where
Iohn
baptized
;
and
vpon
the
seuenth
day
of
October
,
in
the
middle
of
the
last
weeke
spoken
of
by
Daniel
,
cap.
9.
was
there
baptized
,
at
whose
baptisme
the
testimony
of
the
spirit
descended
downe
vpon
him
in
the
likenesse
of
a
Doue
;
which
was
52
miles
.
From
Iordan
,
Iesus
was
led
by
the
spirit
into
the
Wildernesse
to
be
tempted
of
the
diuell
,
and
there
fasted
fortie
daies
and
fortie
nights
:
at
the
end
of
which
time
,
the
diuell
came
vnto
and
tempted
him
.
How
this
wildernesse
was
called
,
the
Euangelist
doth
not
specifie
:
but
it
is
to
be
thought
that
it
was
the
desart
of
Arabia
Petraea
,
&
that
our
Sauiour
Christ
fasted
vpon
the
mountaine
of
Sinai
,
where
Moses
and
Eliah
fasted
fortie
daies
and
fortie
nights
,
Exod.
24.1

Reg.

For
this
desart
extendeth
it selfe
from
the
borders
of
Aegypt
and
the
Red
sea
,
to
Iordan
,
where
Iohn
baptized
:
and
from
thence
by
the
country
of
Trachonitis
,
to
the
mountaine
of
Libanus
.
Therfore
our
Sauior
Christ
might
that
present
seuenth
day
of
Actober
whereon
he
was
baptised
,
come
into
this
Wildernesse
;
and
by
little
and
little
goe
thence
to
mount
Sanai
,
which
was
136
miles
.
For
there
was
no
place
more
fit
for
Sathan
to
tempt
our
Sauiour
in
,
than
where
the
law
was
deliuered
,
which
is
the
power
of
Sinne
:
for
although
the
Son
of
God
was
without
sinne
,
yet
he
tooke
vpon
him
the
sinnes
of
all
the
world
,
Leuit.

So
then
our
Sauiour
Christ
(
according
to
this
supputation
)
continued
in
the
Desart
from
the
seuenth
day
of
October
to
the
sixteenth
of
Nouember
,
which
was
fortie
daies
and
fortie
nights
.
Epiphanias
lib.

saith
,
that
our
Sauiour
Christ
was
baptized
vpon
the
eighth
day
of
Nouember
which
was
the
twelfth
day
of
the
moneth
Athyr
amongst
the
Aegyptians
:
but
this
supputation
is
false
and
altogether
repugnant
to
the
certain
Mathematicall
calculation
.
Wherefore
vpon
the
17
day
of
Nouember
our
Sauior
Christ
hungred
,
Mat.
4.
Mark
1.
Luke
4.
and
then
the
diuel
with
an
extraordinarie
boldnesse
came
vnto
him
,
and
carried
him
from
Mount
Sinai
with
great
violence
through
the
aire
,
and
set
him
vpon
the
top
of
a
pinacle
of
the
temple
in
Ierusalem
,
which
was
120
miles
:
this
pinacle
was
so
exceeding
high
(
as
you
may
reade
in
the
description
of
Ierusalem
)
that
whosoeuer
looked
down
from
it
into
the
valley
of
Cedron
,
their
eyes
dazled
,
and
it
seemed
as
though
there
had
bin
clouds
in
the
bottome
of
the
valley
;
for
it
was
600
foot
from
the
bottom
to
the
top
.
From
this
place
the
diuell
bad
our
Sauior
Christ
throw
himselfe
downe
,
&c.
Mat.
4.
From
the
pinacle
of
the
Temple
the
diuell
tooke
our
Sauiour
Christ
and
set
him
vpon
a
high
mountaine
;
but
what
hill
it
was
,
or
how
called
,
the
holy
Euangelist
doth
not
set
down
.
The
inhabitants
of
the
Holy
land
thinke
it
was
the
hil
that
stood
betwixt
Bethel
and
Ai
,
vpon
which
hill
in
times
past
Abraham
dwelt
,
Gen.
13.
But
that
hill
is
not
very
high
,
and
there
are
many
higher
hils
in
the
holy
land
:
wherefore
it
is
to
be
thought
that
he
was
caried
vpon
the
top
of
that
high
mountain
Nebo
,
which
was
also
called
Pisgah
,
and
stood
24
miles
from
Ierusalem
Eastward
,
where
God
shewed
vnto
Moses
all
the
holy
land
beyond
Iordan
,
Deut.
34.
and
in
this
place
,
as
God
had
shewed
Moses
,
so
the
diuell
shewed
our
Sauior
the
kingdoms
of
the
world
,
and
the
glory
of
them
,
saying
,
All
these
will
I
giue
thee
,
&c.
It
is
to
be
thought
that
all
these
sharp
temptations
of
the
diuell
were
done
in
one
day
.
This
hill
Pisgah
is
distant
from
Bethabara
8
miles
,
where
Iohn
Baptist
baptised
,
and
bare
witnesse
of
our
Sauior
Christ
,
Ioh.
ca.
1.
Now
after
the
diuel
had
left
him
,
and
the
Angels
had
comforted
him
,
he
came
thence
vnto
Iohn
,
which
was
8
miles
,
and
Iohn
said
to
his
Disciples
,
Behold
,
this
is
the
Lambe
of
God
which
taketh
away
the
sinnes
of
the
world
,
Ioh.
1.
So
these
trauels
were
140
miles
.
The
Trauels
of
our
Sauior
Christ
in
the
first
yeare
of
his
Ministery
,
which
was
the
31
of
his
age
.
BVt
yet
our
Sauiour
Christ
began
not
to
preach
publiquely
,
because
it
was
not
lawfull
for
any
to
be
admitted
into
the
Ministerie
of
the
Word
vntill
they
were
past
thirty
yeres
of
age
.
Now
our
Sauior
Christ
in
the
moneths
of
Ianuary
and
February
,
being
then
past
thirty
(
for
he
was
full
thirty
vpon
the
25
day
of
December
)
began
to
preach
publiquely
,
but
yet
hee
had
no
disciples
,
neither
had
he
wrought
any
miracles
.
In
the
month
of
March
Iohn
Baptist
testified
of
Christ
before
the
Priests
&
Levits
;
and
within
two
daies
after
,
Christ
being

,
Iohn
said
,
Behold
the
Lambe
of
God
that
taketh
away
the
sinnes
of
the
world
,
&c.
Within
a
while
after
,
Christ
went
thence
towards
Cana
in
Galile
,
in
which
journy
he
took
vnto
him
some
disciples
,
namely
Andrew
and
Iohn
the
Evangelist
,
and
as
some
thinke
,
Peter
,
Philip
,
and
Nathaniel
;
neere
to
the
town
of
Bethel
,
where
the
Patriarch
Iacob
saw
a
ladder
reaching
from
earth
to
heauen
(
for
Christ
maketh
mention
of
that
vision
in
this
journey
)
which
was
32
miles
,
Ioh.

where
hee
graced
the
marriage
with
a
notable
mircle
,
turning
six
pots
of
water
(
containing
168
gallons
and
three
quarts
,
or
thereabouts
)
into
wine
,
Ioh.
2.
After
,
he
went
thence
with
his
mother
and
his
disciples
to
Capernaum
,
20
miles
:
but
he
stayed
there
but
a
while
,
for
the
passeouer
of
the
Iewes
was
at
hand
,
Ioh.
2.
In
the
beginning
of
Aprill
Christ
went
from
Capernaum
to
Ierusalem
,
to
the
feast
of
the
Passeouer
,
which
was
56
miles
,
and
there
cast
out
of
the
Temple
the
money-changers
,
and
those
that
sold
sheepe
,
and
oxen
,
and
doues
in
it
.
This
was
done
about
46
yeares
after
Herod
Ascalonita
King
of
the
Iewes
had
rebuilded
and
beautified
the
Temple
;

which

was
celebrated
vpon
the
sixth
day
of
Aprill
,
and
continued
vntill
the
thirteenth
day
of
the
same
moneth
.
During
which
time
our
Sauiour
Christ
did
many
Miracles
,
insomuch
that
many
beleeued
in
his
name
;
and
amongst
the
rest
Nicodemus
,
who
came
to
him
by
night
,
and
reasoned
with
him
concerning
the
kingdome
of
God
.
Nicodemus
signifies
the
Victorie
of
the
people
,
Ioh.

At
this
time
he
continued
in
Ierusalem
till
the
moneth
of
October
,
and
there
celebrated
the
Feast
of
Tabernacles
,
and
preached
the
acceptable
yeare
of
the
Lord
,
Esay
61.
The
feast
of
Tabernacles
being
ended
,
Iesus
with
his
disciples
came
into
Iudea
,
that
is
,
hee
went
from
Ierusalem
,
and
began
to
teach
in
Iudea
,
and
his
Disciples
baptised
,
Ioh.
3.4
.
Iohn
also
baptised
at
this
time
vpon
the
borders
of
Galile
neer
Iudea
,
42
miles
from
Ierusalem
Northward
,
vpon
the
East
side
of
the
riuer
Iordan
,
for
hee
was
not
yet
cast
into
prison
.
Therefore
Christ
chose
him
a
place
to
teach
and
baptise
in
vpon
the
riuer
of
Iordan
,
neere
Iohn
,
that
they
might
meet
and
conuerse
together
.
A
little
after
,
the
question
was
moued
concerning
Purification
,
and
Iohn
began
to
preach
of
Christ
,
and
that
he
was
the
Son
of
God
,
and
Spouse
of
the
Church
.
In
this
Sermon
Iohn
in
many
places
called
himselfe
the
Friend
of
the
Spouse
.
From
whence
it
is
euident
,
That
Christ
and
Iohn
in
the
moneth
of
Nouember
did
often
meet
and
conuerse
together
.
In
the
moneth
of
December
Christ
being
assured
of
the
captiuitie
of
Iohn
the
Baptist
,
Mat.

Mark
1.
and
of
the
persecution
and
fallacies
of
the
Pharisees
,
Iohn
4.
went
from
Iordan
,
and
returned
into
Galilee
by
the
prouince
and
countrey
of
Samaria
:
in
which
countrey
he
came
to
Iacobs
Well
,
which
stood
close
by
Sichar
,
in
former
times
called
Sichem
,
about
some
10
miles
from
Iordan
towards
the
West
;
in
which
place
he
spake
with
the
Samaritan
woman
(
this
happened
some
foure
months
before
Haruest
)
and
after
went
into
Sichar
,
and
continued
there
for
the
space
of
two
dayes
;
and
after
returning
into
Galile
,
was
very
acceptably
entertained
of
the
Galileans
,
because
they
formerly
hauing
seene
his
miracles
done
at
Ierusalem
,
were
ioyfull
to
see
him
there
.
When
he
had
trauelled
from
Sichar
to
Cana
(
a
city
in
Galile
the
lower
,
which
was
32
miles
,
where
he
had
changed
water
into
wine
)
there
was
a
certain
Ruler
came
vnto
him
,
whose
sonne
lay
sicke
at
Capernaum
,
20
miles
distant
,
and
besought
him
to
heale
his
son
;
our
Sauiour
told
him
that
his
son
was
made
whole
:
so
he
beleeued
,
and
his
son
was
made
whole
the
same
houre
.
This
was
the
second
miracle
that
our
Sauior
Christ
did
,
Io.
4.
It
is
thought
that
this
rulers
name
was
Chuza
,
of
whom
there
is
mention
Luk.
8
and
was
Herods
Procurator
;
whose
wiues
name
was
Iohanna
,
which
signifieth
Gratious
.
This
woman
ministred
of
all
her
substance
vnto
Christ
,
Ioh.

So
these
Trauels
were
192
miles
.
¶
Of
the
Townes
and
places
to
which
he
trauelled
.
Of
Canain
Galile
.
THis
was
a
city
of
the
lower
Galile
,
where
our
blessed
Sauior
Christ
turned
water
into
wine
,
being
distant
from
Ierusalem
68
miles
Northward
.
The
place
where
our
Sauior
wrought
this
miracle
is
to
be
seen
at
this
day
;
but
it
is
within
the
ground
,
and
you
must
descend
by
certain
steps
before
you
can
come
at
it
;
because
(
as
it
seemes
)
there
haue
bin
many
churches
and
buildings
set
vpon
it
,
which
being
sundry
times
ouerthrown
,
the
ruins
therof
haue
raised
the
earth
in
such
sort
,
that
the
antient
place
is
as
it
were
hidden
&
laid
vnder
the
earth
,
as
is
also
the
place
of
the
Annuntiation
,
of
the
natiuity
of
our
Sauior
Christ
,
and
many
other
where
hee
wrought
miracles
;
to
which
they
doe
descend
downe
vnder
the
earth
by
steps
.
Vpon
the
North
side
of
this
towne
stood
a
round
hill
,
and
vpon
the
South
a
goodly
plaine
;
beeing
called
Cana
in
Galile
,
to
put
distinction
between
it
and
another
towne
called
after
the
same
name
,
which
stood
vpon
the
borders
of
Tyrus
and
Sidon
,
in
the
Tribe
of
Aser
;
in
which
the
Canaanitish
woman
or
Syroph
oenicean
dwelt
,
which
besought
Christ
to
heal
her
daughter
who
was
possessed
of
a
diuel
,

Mark

which
was
called
Canah
the
greater
,
as
this
was
called
Canah
the
lesse
,
and
was
distant
each
from
other
44
miles
.
Canah
was
so
called
because
round
about
it
grew
Reeds
,
and
there
were
many
moorish
and
waterish
grounds
,
wherof
the
town
tooke
the
name
.
For
Canah
signifies
a
Reed
:
which
is
a
fit
type
of
the
Church
;
for
as
our
Sauior
Christ
at
this
town
(
which
stood
in
a
moorish
and
reedy
place
)
graced
the
marriage
with
an
extraordinarie
miracle
;
so
likewise
will
he
grace
the
marriage
of
his
Church
(
though
troubled
with
miseries
and
afflictions
in
this
world
,
tossed
to
and
fro
like
a
wauering
reed
)
with
the
glorious
presence
of
his
gratious
countenance
,
and
in
the
world
to
come
crowne
it
with
eternall
glory
.
Of
Capernaum
.
THis
city
was
so
called
from
the
pleasant
and
comfortable
scituation
of
it
.
In
the
Hebrew
text
Mathew
cals
it
Capharnacum
,
i.
The
town
of
comfort
;
being
deriued
of
Nocham
,
i.
Consolation
.
In
this
town
our
Sauior
dwelt
after
he
had
left
Nazareth
,
and
in
it
wrought
many
miracles
,
as
the
healing
of
the
sick
,
casting
out
of
diuels
,
and
such
like
,
whereof

ioyning

from

in

of

calls
it
the
city
of
our
Sauior
.
And
that
Christ
was
no
stranger
,
but
an
inhabitant
of
this
city
,
it
is
manifest
,
Mat.
17.
where
Christ
when
he
gaue
tribute
to
the
magistrats
of
this
city
)
asked
Peter
saying
,
Of
whom
doe
the
Kings
of
the
earth
take
tribute
?
Peter
said
,
Of
strangers
:
Then
,
quoth
hee
,
the
children
are
free
;
yet
neuerthelesse
,
&c.
From
whence
may
be
gathered
that
he
was
no
stranger
,
but
an
inhabitant
in
Capernaum
.
It
had
vpon
the
Northside
of
it
the
three
Tribes
,
Nepthalim
,
Aser
,
and
Zabulon
;
vpon
the
South
,
Benjamin
,
Iuda
,
Dan
,
and
Simeon
;
vpon
the
West
,
Issacher
,
Ephraim
,
and
the
halfe
Tribe
of
Manasses
;
and
vpon
the
East
,
Reuben
,
Gad
,
and
the
other
halfe
tribe
of
Manasses
:
so
that
our
Sauior
Christ
dwelt
in
the
midst
of
the
12
tribes
of
Israel
.
Furthermore
,
it
was
a
goodly
market
towne
,
and
had
as
well
relation
to
Tyrus
and
Sidon
(
two
townes
of
the
Gentiles
within
44
miles
of
it
)
as
to
Ierusalem
:
from
whence
may
be
verified
that
saying
of
Esa.
ca.
8.9
.
The
land
of
Zebulon
and
Nepthalim
,
neere
the
way
of
the
sea
beyond
Iordan
,
and
Galile
of
the
Gentiles
;
a
people
which
sit
in
darknesse
and
in
the
shadow
of
death
,
saw
a
great
Light
.
This
town
is
therfore
instly
called
the
city
of
Comfort
and
Consolation
;
since
our
Sauior
Christ
dwelt
there
,
who
with
his
doctrine
and
preaching
refreshed
&
comforted
all
such
as
were
afflicted
with
the
burthen
of
their
sins
.
But
the
great
men
that
were
inhabitants
of
this
City
had
more
respect
to
their
priuat
profit
,
than
to
the
doctrine
&
miracles
that
Christ
wrought
among
them
;
from
whence
it
came
to
passe
that
they
did
as
it
were
neglect
and
contemne
that
good
which
God
had
offered
vnto
them
:
which
made
our
Sauior
say
,
And
thou
Capernaum
,
which
seemest
to
be
exalted
vp
vnto
heauen
,
shalt
be
cast
down
into
hell
:
for
if
the
miracles
had
been
done
in
Sodom
and
Gomorah
,
which
haue
been
done
in
thee
,
they
had
continued
vntill
this
day
.
Verily
verily
I
say
vnto
you
,
It
shall
be
easier
for
Sodom
and
Gomorah
in
the
day
of
Iudgment
,
than
for
thee
,
Mat.
11.
For
there
was
no
such
benefit
offered
to
any
Citie
,
neither
such
honours
and
dignities
,
as
were
to
Capernaum
,
our
Sauior
himselfe
dwelling
there
.
Wherefore
for
their
ingratitude
and
impiety
the
city
hath
diuers
times
bin
wasted
and
destroied
,
as
well
by
the
Romanes
as
other
nations
;
so
that
at
this
day
this
glorious
city
is
become
so
desolate
,
that
there
is
scarce
8
houses
standing
,
and
they
also
like
small
sheds
.
Of
Sichar
.
IN
antient
time
this
towne
was
called
Sichem
,
of
which
you
may
reade
more
both
in
the
trauels
of
Iacob
and
Abimilech
.
After
it
came
to
be
called
Sichar
,
according
to
the
opinion
of
Luther
vpon
Genesis
,
because
the
inhabitants
of
that
country
were
giuen
to
pleasure
and
voluptuousnesse
,
the
greatest
part
of
their
delight
being
in
drinking
and
quaffing
:
for
Sichar
,
being
deriued
of
Schachar
,
signifieth
,
to
bee
drunke
,
or
inordinately
to
swallow
sweet
and
pleasant
wine
,
of
which
there
was
great
plenty
in
that
towne
,
made
of
the
juice
of
Apples
,
the
fruit
of
Palme
trees
,
and
honey
,
which
may
very
well
resemble
Hipocras
or
Metheglin
,
as
some
Authors
haue
it
.
And
although
by
the
incursion
of
the
Romanes
it
was
vtterly
wasted
and
left
desolate
,
yet
in
succeeding
times
it
was
rebuilt
,
and
called
Nicapolis
,
that
is
,
a
New
towne
.
It
is
scituated
very
pleasantly
,
and
aboundeth
with
all
manner
of
delights
;
but
it
is
vnfortified
,
neither
can
it
by
any
meanes
bee
fortified
;
neither
haue
the
inhabitants
any
helpe
,
if
they
be
oppressed
by
the
Enemy
,
but
to
fly
:
for
it
is
scituated
in
the
middle
of
a
valley
,
betweene
two
high
mountaines
,
so
that
a
man
may
fling
a
stone
from
the
top
of
one
of
them
into
the
city
.
About
two
bowes
shoot
without
the
South
gate
of
this
towne
is
to
be
seene
the
Fountaine
or
Well
of
Iacob
,
vpon
the
brimme
of
which
our
Sauiour
Christ
sate
when
hee
was
wearie
,
as
wee
may
reade
in
the
fourth
of
Iohn
.
This
Well
standeth
iust
in
the
way
as
Pilgrimes
trauell
to
Ierusalem
.
Vpon
the
right
hand
aboue
this
Well
there
standeth
a
mountain
of
an
exceeding
height
,
diuided
into
two
tops
,
the
one
of
them
being
called
Gerizim
,
the
other
Heball
.
In
mount
Gerizim
the
Patriarch
Ioshuah
built
an
Altar
,
and
the
people
standing
vpon
mount
Heball
,
he
caused
the
whole
booke
of
Deuteronomie
to
be
read
ouer
,
with
the
Blessings
and
Cursings
,
so
that
all
the
people
might
heare
them
;
for
thus
we
reade
in
Ios.

The
one
halfe
of
the
people
stood
close
by
Mount
Gerizim
,
and
the
other
by
mount

These
two
great
mountaines
began
vpon
the
right
side
of
the
Citie
Sichar
,
and
extended
themselues
in
length
to
the
Citie
of
Iericho
.
Vpon
the
left
side
of
this
Wel
is
to
be
seen
the
ruins
of
a
great
towne
,
which
is
thought
to
be
the
old
Sichem
,
and
by
the
relicks
that
remaine
there
,
it
may
be
iudged
to
haue
been
a
very
goodly
Citie
.
For
there
are
yet
to
bee
seene
certaine
broken
Pillars
of
Marble
,
as
also
large
and
spatious
Buildings
,
which
in
times
past
without
question
haue
beene
very
goodly
things
,
and
standeth
wonderfull
pleasantly
;
the
soile
round
about
it
beeing
very
pleasant
and
fruitfull
,
onely
there
is
want
of
water
.
This
Towne
lieth
some
two
Bowes
shoot
from
Sichar
,
and
the
inhabitants
of
that
place
judge
this
Sichar
to
be
Thebez
,
where
Abimelech
died
,

Not
farre
from
Iacobs
Well
,
is
to
be
seene

piece
of
ground
which
Iacob

more
than
the
rest

It
is
a
long

,
very
fruitfull
and
pleasant
,
where
there
lies
buried

faire
garden
,
the
bones
of

were

Mount
Garizim
or
Gerizim
,
is
so
called
from
the
cutting
downe
of
Trees
:
for
Garaz
signifies
,
To

.
Vpon
this
Mountaine
is
to
be
seene
(
euen

)
the
place
where
the
Temple
stood
that
was
built
by
Sanballath
,
dedicated
to
Iupiter
Olympius
,
in
contempt
of
the
Temple
of
Ierusalem
.
The
chiefe
Priest
of
this
Temple
was
one
Manasses
,
a
fugitiue
of
the
stocke
of

This
Manasses
was
brother
to
Iaddus
,
chiefe
Priest
of

But
some
two
hundred
yeares
after
the
first
foundation
,
Iohn
Hircanus
high
Priest
of

vtterly
destroied
it
to

The
Trauels
of
our
Sauiour
Christ
in
the
second
yeare
of
his
Ministerie
;
which
was
the
two
and
thirtieth
yeare
of
his
age
.
IN
the
moneth
of
Ianuary
,
Christ
went
from
Cana
in
Galile
to
Nazareth
,
which
was
eight
miles
.
Here
,
vpon
the
Sabboth
day
he
went
into
the
Sinagogue
and
began
to
teach
,
insomuch
as
the
inhabitants
were
astonished
at
his
doctrine
:
but
the
citizens
being
ingratefull
,
he
went
to
Capernaum
,
a
citie
which
he
had
chosen
to
dwell
in
before
all
others
,
Luke
4.
Mat.

which
was
12
miles
,
or
thereabouts
.
In
the
moneth
of
February
hee
compassed
about
all
Galile
,
preaching
the
Gospel
of
the
kingdome
of
God
,
healing
the
sick
,
and
those
that
were
diseased
amongst
the
people
,
Matth.

In
this
visitation
our
Sauiour
went
to
Gaesarea
Philippi
,
which
was
distant
from
Capernaum
fortie
eight
miles
towards
the
North.
Here
Matthew
was
called
,
as
he
was
at
the
receipt
of
Custome
;
and
the
woman
was
healed
of
her
bloudy
issue
,
Mat.

But
that
Mathew
was
called
about
this
time
,
the
circumstances
of
times
make
euident
;
for
a
little
after
the
second
Passeouer
of
our
Sauior
Christ
,
the
same
Mathew
was
chosen
to
be
an
Apostle
,
Luke
,

Mat.

Mark
2.
In
the
moneth
of
March
,
the
inhabitants
of
the
towns
which
Christ
visited
in
Galilee
,
brought
vnto
him
many
that
were
possessed
of
diuels
,
and
afflicted
with
other
diseases
,
all
which
he
healed
:
insomuch
that
there
followed
him
a
great
company
out
of
Galile
and
Decapolis
,
and
from
Ierusalem
and
Iudaea
,
and
of
all
the
countries
beyond
Iordan
,
Mat.

Thus
hauing
finishing
this
visitation
,
as
it
may
be
thought
,
he
returned
backe
againe
to
Capernaum
,
where
he
dwelt
,
as
I
haue
shewed
before
,
which
was
48
miles
;
for
Caesarea
Philippi
stood
so
farre
from
Capernaum
.
A
little
after
these
things
were
finished
,
Vpon
the
seuenth
day
of
Aprill
he
went
on
the
Sabboth
day
to
Peraea
,
which
country
was
in
the
command
of
Herod
Antipas
,
and
there
he
healed
a
man
with
a
dried
hand
,
Luke
6.
Marke

The
country
of
Peraea
beyond
Iordan
is
distant
from
Ierusalem
twentie
miles
.
But
when
the
Herodian
Councell
heard
that
he
had
healed
a
man
on
the
Sabboth
day
,
they
sought
occasion
how
they
might
doe
to
put
him
to
death
:
Wherefore
our
Sauiour
Christ
went
thence
to
the
sea
of
Galile
,
which
was
40
miles
.
Here
he
went
vp
into
a
mountain
not
far
from
Capernaum
,
and
chose
the
twelue
Apostles
,
Luke
6.
Mark
3.
And
then
vpon
this
mountain
he
preached
vnto
the
people
,
which
resorted
thither
vnto
him
out
of
the
Countrey
round
about
,
whom
they
heard
with
great
diligence
and
attendance
.
This
sermon
being
ended
,
hee
came
down
from
the
mountaine
,
and
healed
the
man
that
was
sicke
of
the
Leprosie
.
Hee
also
went
into
Capernaum
and
healed
the
Centurions
seruant
,
Mat.

Luke

Afterward
Christ
in
the
same
moneth
of
April
,
when
the
man
whom
he
healed
of
his
leprosie
had
published
that
Miracle
,
hee
went
from
Capernaum
into
the
Desart
which
lay
neere
vnto
Bethsaida
;
for
there
was
a
certaine
Desart

In
the
moneth
of
May
our
Sauiour
went
out
of
Galile
towards
Ierusalem
,
to
keep
the
feast
of
Penticost
;
so
he
came
to
the
gates
of
the
city
Naim
,
which
stood
on
the
border
of
Samaria
,
and
was
distant
from
Capernaum
16
miles
.
Here
he
recalled
the
widowes
sonne
to
life
,
Luke

And
after
he
went
to
Ierusalem
,
which
was
48
miles
,
that
he
might
celebrate
the
feast
of
Penticost
,
according
to
the
law
of
God
,

Thrice

This
feast
fell
this
yeare
vpon
the
15
day
of
May
;
for
it
behooued
our
Sauiour
,
according
to
the
law
,
to
go
euery
yere
to

to
these
three
principall
feasts
,
that
is
,
of
the
Passeouer
,
Penticost
,
and
of
the
Tabernacles
.
A
little
after
the
feast
of
Penticost
,
Iohn
Baptist
(
being
then
in
prison
)
hauing
certaine
intelligence
of
the
Miracle
that
our
Sauiour
wrought
vpon
the
Widowes
sonne
at
the
gates
of
Naim
;
and
of
other
wonderfull
Miracles
that
he
did
in
Ierusalem
,
and
in
other
places
in
Iudaea
;
sent
two
of
his
disciples
from
the
Castle
of
Macharuntes
,
to
aske
him
the
question
,
whether
he
was
the
Messia
or
no
?
So
when
they
came
vnto
him
and
deliuered
their
message
,
at
that
time
he
cured
many
of
their
sicknesse
and
plagues
,
and
euill
spirits
,
and
to
many
blinde
men
hee
gaue
sight
freely
.
And
Iesus
said
vnto
them
,
Goe
your
wayes
and
tell
Iohn
what
things
you
haue
seene
and
heard
,
That
the
Blinde

And

not
be
offended
in
me

At
this
sermon
it
was
thought
hee
conuerted
the
sinner
that
washed
his
feet
,
&
poured
a
box
of
pretious
oile
vpon
his
head
,

In
the
moneth
of
Iune
our
Sauior
Iesus
Christ
went
with
the
Twelue
about
six
and
fifty
miles
out
of
Iudaea
into
Galilee
,
and
there
in
diuers
Cities
and
Townes
he
began
to
preach
and
teach
the
Kingdome
of

.
At
this
time
there
were

Now
when
he
had
trauelled
from

,
and
visited
many
cities
and

thereabouts
,
he
returned
backe

where
it
is
said
that

About

moneth
of

our
Sauior

went
from
Cesarea

to
Nazareth

because
of
the
ingratitude

In

Now
when
he
saw
that
they
wanted
Teachers

it
beeing

he
said
vnto

Loe

are

From

The

wrought
in
these
three
last
moneths

in

and

for

So
the

Christ
in

were
912

104
miles
from

close
by
the
two
Wells
of

Ior
and
Dan.
Vpon
the
East
side
of
this
Citie
these
two
streames
meet
,
and
make
the
Riuer
Iordan
.
Philip
the
Tetrarch
of
Traconitis
called
this
city
after
his
own
name
,
Philippus
;
and
in
honor
of
the
Romane
Caesars
he
added
the
name
of
Caesaria
;
Tiberias
at
this
time
beeing
Emperour
of
Rome
.
In
times
past
it
was
called
Laisch
or
Lais
,
which
signifies
,
a
rauening
or
roaring
Lion
.
But
the
tribe
of
Dan
hauing
conquered
it
and
rebuilt
it
again
,
they
called
it
Dan
;
and
the
inhabitants
of
the
Holy
land
,
Laechem
Dan
,
as
you
may
reade
in
the
trauels
of
the
Danits
.
But
this
town
(
as
it
is
reported
by
such
as
haue
trauelled
into
the
holy
land
,
and
by
the
authority
of
Volateran
)
notwithstanding
these
names
,
is
often
called
Belenas
.
Here
(
as
Eusebius
,
Zozomenes
,
and
Nicephorus
say
in
their
Ecclesiasticall
histories
)
the
woman
that
was
diseased
with
the
bloudie
issue
,
was
healed
by
touching
the
hem
of
our
Sauiours
garment
;
which
woman
in
token
of
thankfulnesse
for
so
great
a
benefit
,
and
in
memory
of
so
notable
a
miracle
,
erected
in
this
City
,
a
little
without
the
gates
of
her
house
,
a
stone
pillar
,
on
which
shee
caused
to
be
set
the
image
of
Christ
made
of
brasse
;
and
behind
that
stood
the
image
of
this
woman
,
who
had
been
diseased
12
yeares
with
the
bloudy
issue
,
bowing
her self
at
the
feet
of
our
Lord
,
and
touching
the
hem
of
his
garment
.
They
also
say
there
grew
certain
herbs
about
this
pillar
,
whereby
miracles
were
wrought
thirty
yeares
after
it
was
set
vp
.
But
Iulian
the
Apostata
hauing
intelligence
of
these
things
,
caused
those
images
to
be
broken
down
,
and
erected
his
own
in
the
same
place
.
But
soon
after
there
hapned
such
an
exceeding
thunder
,
that
fire
falling
from
heauen
,
strook
this
image
thus
set
vp
by
this
cruell
tyrant
,
vpon
the
brest
,
and
cast
the
head
and
the
necke
thereof
with
great
violence
vpon
the
earth
.
These
things
hapned
in
Caesarea
Philippi
.
Vpon
the
borders
of
Caesarea
Philippi
our
Sauior

because
of
the
pleasantnesse
and
fruitfulnesse
of
the
soile
lying
vpon
the
North
side
of
it
.
It
is
called
(
Ioh.
6.
)
the
sea
of
Tiberias
,
from
the
city
Tiberias
that
stood
vpon
the
shore
of
it
.
It
was
but
4
miles
and
a
little
more
broad
,
but
in
length
from
the
North
to
the
South
12
miles
.
Vpon
the
East
side
it
had
the
towne
Chorazin
,
and
vpon
the
West
Capernaum
;
and
(
as
Iosephus
saith
)
the
water
of
this
sea
was
very
sweet
and
pleasant
,
from
whence
it
came
to
passe
that
fishes
did
greatly
abound
in
it
,
and
there
were
many
fishers
that
liued
thereabouts
only
by
fishing
in
that
sea
.
There
were
many
other
Cities
besides
those
two
before
mentioned
,
that
stood
vpon
this
Sea
;
as
Bethsaida
,
Migdala
,
Tiberias
,
and
Trichaea
;
these
stood
vpon
the
West

Vpon
the
East
stood

Of
the
holy
mountaine
neere
Capernaum
in

.
ABout
a
mile
from
Capernaum
toward
the
Southwest
,
is
to
be
seene
an
exceeding
high
hill
,
standing
vpon
the
shore
of
the
sea
of
Galile
,
beautified
with
many
herbes
and
floures
of
diuers
kindes
,
being
very
fruitfull
and
pleasant
,
extending
it self
in
length
almost
two
bowes
shoot
,
and
in
bredth
one
.
From
this
hil
one
might
haue
seen
the
whole
sea
of
Galile
,
the
countries
of
Itura
and
Trachonitis
,
euen
to
mount
Libanus
,
also
the
mountaines
Sanir
and
Hermon
,
and
a
great
part
of
the
vpper
and
lower
Galilee
.
Heere
also
the
inhabitants
of
the
holy
land
shew
a
certaine
stone
,
on
which
they
say
our
Sauiour
Christ
did
vsually
sit
when
he
preached
to
the
people
;
which
stone
the
Christians
cal
the
table
:
here
was
that
sermon
made
of

mountaine
,
in
the
suburbs
of
the
City
of

healed
a
man
that
was
infected
with

About
thirty
paces
from
the
foot
of
this
hill
there
ariseth
a
fountain
which
is
compassed
about
with
a
wal
,
and
is
thought
to
be
a
vein
of
Nilus
,
because
they
finde
in
it
such
kind
of
fishes
,
the
like
whereof
are
not
to
be
found
in
any
other
place

very
pleasant

fruitfull
for
the
space
of
a

euen
vnto

)
after
the

because
it
is
subiect
to

jurisdiction
of
that
city

About
20
paces
from
this
wall
,
on
the
shore
of
the
sea
of
Galile
,
there
is
shewn
a
place
where
they
say
Christ
appeared
to
his
seuen
Disciples
after
his
resurrection
,
and
asked
them
whether
they
had
any
meat
?
And
about
ten
paces
from
that
is
shewn
a
place
where
they
say
our
Sauiours
Disciples
came
to
land
,
and
they
drew
vp
in
their
nets
a
great
draught
of
fishes

liue
in
all
manner
of
pleasures

neuer
thinking

til
death
seiseth
on
them
;
but
then
that
ouerturns
all
,
and
those
delights
become
loathsome
vnto

Notwithstanding
this
one
comfort
wee
haue
left

Hope
in

who
as

raised
the
Widowes
son

from

,
will
by

mighty
power

from

and
make

he
came
to

which
was
ten
miles

the

would
not
receiue

he
made
as

he
would
go
to

wherefore
he
turned
aside
into

And
as

there
came
a

man
vnto
him
saying
,
I
will
follow
thee
whither
soeuer
thou
goest

But
Christ
answered
him
saying
,
The
Foxes
haue
holes
,
and
the
fowles
of

heauens
haue
nests

Follow

But

Let

bury

There
was
another

the
present
condition
of
the
time
for
it
was
now
heruest
time
,
it
being
a
little
before
the
vernall
Aequinoctiall
.
About
the
beginning
of
October
,
when
the
feast
of
the
Tabernacles
drew
neere
,
the
Disciples
and
those
that
were
of
the
kindred
of
our
Sauiour
according
to
the
flesh
,
went
vp
to
the
Feast
,
but
he
remained
in
Galile
,
notwithstanding
a
little
after
he
went
priuily
vp
:
now
betweene
Galile
and
Ierusalem
were
accounted
56
miles
,
Ioh.
7.
Vpon
the
ninth
day
of
October
was
this
feast
celebrated
in
Ierusalem
;
and
being
now
half
past
,
our
Sauior
Christ
taught
publiquely
in
the
Temple
,
Ioh.
7.
Vpon
the
fifteenth
day
of
October
(
it
being
the
last
day
of
the
Feast
of
the
Tabernacles
,
and
the
Sabboth
day
,
he
taught
the
second
time
publiquely
in
the
Temple
,
and
so
continued
preaching
and
doing
miracles
in
Ierusalem
vntill
the
Feast
of
the
Dedication
,
which
was
kept
about
the
middle
of
Winter
,
Matth.
4.
In
the
Month
of
Nouember
he
preached
daily
in
the
temple
,
and
at
night
went
to
the
Mount
of
Oliues
,
where
he
rested
,
which
was
aboue
halfe
a
mile
from
Ierusalem
,
and
euery
morning
returned
backe
to
the
Temple
.
At
this
time
there
came
vnto
him
certaine
Scribes
and
Pharases
,
who
brought
a
woman
which
had
beene
lately
taken
in
adultery
,
and
said
vnto
him
,
Master
,
what
shall
we
do
with
this
woman
,
&c.
And
hee
answered
,
He
among
you
that
is
without
sinne
throw
the
first
stone
at
her
,
Iohn
8.
About
this
time
also
were
the
Sermons
concerning
the
power
of
the
Son
of
God
,
and
a
great
disputation
between
our
Sauior
and
the
Iewes
,
Ioh.
8.
for
which
cause
they
would
haue
stoned
him
.
In
the
Moneth
of
December
Christ
wintred
in
Ierusalem
,
and
recited
the
parable
of
the
Sheepe
,
Ioh.
10.
Also
vpon
the
Sabboth
day
a
little
before
the
feast
of
the
Dedication
,
he
healed
a
man
that
was
born
blind
,
Iohn
9.
In
this
feast
the
Iewes
(
being
angry
because
he
had
healed
the
blind
man
vpon
the
Sabboth
day
)
compassed
our
Sauiour
about
as
he
was
in
Solomons
Porch
;
and
when
they
heard
our
Sauiour
confesse
openly
,
that
hee
was
the
Sonne
of
God
,
they
began
to
grow
into
a
fury
,
and
for
very
anger
would
haue
stoned
him
to
death
.
Wherefore
our
Sauiour
Christ
went
thence
beyond
Iordan
,
and
continued
there
the
rest
of
the
Winter
,
Iohn
10.
But
before
hee
went
to
Ierusalem
there
were
returned
vnto
him
certaine
of
the
seuentie
Disciples
,
which
a
little
before
(
in
the
moneth
of
September
)
he
had
sent
abroad
,
and
there
at
that
time
he
recited
the
similitude
of
the
man
,
who
descending
from
Ierusalem
to
Iericho
,
fell
amongst
theeues
.
This
similitude
seemeth
to
be
taken
from
the
present
occasion
,
because
our
Sauior
Christ
going
from
Ierusalem
beyond
Iordan
,
was
to
passe
through
great
wildernesses
just
in
the
way
as
they
goe
thence
to
Iericho
,
Iohn
10.
At
the
same
time
he
went
from
Ierusalem
to
Bethania
,
which
was
almost
two
miles
,
and
there
visited
Mary
and
Martha
,
where
Martha
ministred
vnto
him
,
but
Mary
sitting
at
his
feet
gaue
diligent
heed
to
his
Doctrine
,
Luke
10.
At
this
time
he
tooke
his
leaue
of
these
two
sisters
,
and
went
thence
to
Bethabara
beyond
Iordan
,
where
Iohn
baptised
,
which
was
16
miles
,
it
being
now
about
the
midst
of
Winter
,
Christ
at
this
time
being
about
33
yeares
of
age
.
I
am
not
ignorant
that
there
were
many
which
refer
that
long
journey
of
our
Sauiour
Christ
when
hee
went
to
visit
all
Iudaea
,
the
sending
forth
of
his
Disciples
,
&
diuers
other
miracles
mentioned
from
the
ninth
chapter
of
Luke
to
the
sixteenth
,
to
the
beginning
of
the
following
yere
.
But
I
am
of
opinion
that
all
those
things
could
not
haue
beene
done
within
the
compasse
of
foure
moneths
,
and
before
the
feast
of
the
Dedication
:
so
that
it
must
needs
bee
that
the
seuentie
Disciples
were
sent
forth
before
the
feast
of
the
Dedication
;
for
after
the
feast
of
the
Dedication
(
which
was
celebrated
in
the
midst
of
Winter
,
Iohn
10.
)
there
were
but
two
moneths
betweene
it
and
the
raising
vp
of
Lazarus
,
in
which
short
time
all
those
things
which
are
described
by
Luke
,
could
not
possibly
be
accomplished
,
especially
considering
that
our
Sauiour
Christ
wintered
some
time
in
Bethabara
,
and
there
taught
the
multitude
that
came
vnto
him
,
Ioh.
2.
So
these
trauels
of
our
Sauiour
were
596
miles
,
or
thereabouts
,
besides
the
diuers
visitations
and
journeies
hee
went
hither
and
thither
:
which
because
of
the
great
multitude
of
them
,
it
was
not
possible
for
the
Euangelist
to
set
them
downe
.
Of
the
townes
and
places
to
which
he
trauelled
.
Of
Bethsaida
.
BEthsaida
,
signifies
the
house
of
hunting
:
being
deriued
of
Baith
a
house
,
and
Zaid
,
hunting
,
from
Zod
,
he
hath
hunted
:
for
from
this
place
went
the
fishers
and
hunters
which
fished
and
hunted
through
the
world
,
Ierem.
16.
In
this
Towne
dwelt
three
Apostles
,
Peter
,
Andrew
,
and
Philip
,
Iohn
1.
It
was
scituated
vpon
the
West
side
of
the
Galilean
sea
;
in
the
Tribe
of
Issachar
,
fiftie
six
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
North.
And
because
of
the
aboundance
of
Fishes
that
were
in
the
sea
of
Galile
,
Peter
and
Andrew
became
Fishers
,
and
in
that
vocation
got
their
liuing
,
till
our
Lord
and
Sauiour
Christ
made
them
Fishers
of
men
,
Matt.
4.
Luke
5.
Before
the
birth
of
Christ
this
was
but
a
small
Towne
,
and
without
doubt
was
so
called
from
hunting
;
because
close
by
it
stood
a
wildernesse
that
did
greatly
abound
with
wilde
beasts
.
Philip
the
Tetrarch
of
Traconitis
and
Itura
made
this
a
faire
citie
,
which
in
honour
of
Iulia
hee
called
Iuliades
.
This
Iulia
was
the
daughter
of
Augustus
Caesar
,
and
wife
of
Tiberias
.
Philip
also
brought
many
inhabitants
thither
,
who
dwelt
in
that
Citie
.
But
when
Herod
(
the
Tetrarch
of
Galile
,
and
brother
of
this
Philip
)
had
builded
vp
Bethara
,
(
which
stood
beyond
the
riuer
Iordan
on
the
East
side
of
the
sea
of
Galilee
)
and
called
it
by
the
name
of
Iuliades
,
in
honour
of
this
Iulia.
This
towne
re-edified
and
inlarged
by
Philip
,
was
called
againe
in
the
time
of
our
blessed
Lord
and
Sauiour
Christ
,
after
the
antient
name
Bethsaida
,
and
so
continueth
to
this
day
.
From
hence
it
is
manifest
,
that
the
sea
of
Galile
was
subject
to
the
gouernment
of
both
these
Tetrachs
,
since
vpon
the
shore
thereof
on
both
sides
they
had
cities
standing
.
I
doe
thinke
the
wildernesse
or
wood
and
land
neere
adjoining
to
Bethsaida
,
is
called
Itura
,
of
Ietur
the
sonne
of
Ismael
,
Gen.
25.
or
else
from
the
compasse
and
roundnesse
of
it
;
for
Tur
in
Hebrew
signifies
,
A
circle
.
But
that
Itura
stood
vpon
the
West
side
of
the
sea
of
Galilee
,
those
that
haue
beene
at
the
Holy
land
can
testifie
.
This
citie
of
Bethsaida
hath
an
antient
water
course
comming
from
a
riuer
not
far
from
it
,
which
Iosephus
calleth
little
Iordan
,
which
falleth
into
the
sea
of
Galile
,
just
in
the
mid-way
betweene
this
towne
and
Capernaum
,
the
channell
whereof
appeareth
to
this
day
.
Beside
the
many
sermons
which
our
Sauior
Christ
preached
here
,
he
did
many
notable
miracles
,
Marc.
8.
&c.
But
for
the
ingratitude
and
impietie
of
the
citisens
the
curse
of
our
Sauiour
fell
vpon
them
,
Woe
be
thee
Chorazin
,
woe
be
to
thee
Bethsaida
:
for
if
the
miracles
had
beene
done
in
Tyrus
and
Sidon
,
which
haue
beene
done
in
thee
,
they
had
long
ere
this
repented
in
sackloth
and
ashes
:
Verily
,
verily
I
say
vnto
you
,
it
shall
be
easier
for
Tyrus
and
Sydon
in
the
day
of
judgement
,
than
for
you
,
Matt.

Luc.

The
prophecie
of
our
Sauiour
Christ
fell
vpon
them
accordingly
;
for
after
diuers
and
sundry
ouerthrowes
and
deuastations
,
this
towne
became
vtterly
vnpeopled
,
and
as
Britenbacchus
saith
,
there
are
scarce
six
houses
standing
in
it
at
this
day
.
Of
Chorazin
.
THis
city
also
stands
vpon
the
further
side
of
Iordan
,
close
by
the
sea
of
Galile
,
in
the
same
country
as
Capernaum
stands
:
for
the
city
of
Chorazin
standeth
vpon
the
East
side
of
the
riuer
Iordan
,
where
it
falleth
into
the
sea
of
Galile
;
and
Capernaum
vpon
the
West
,
in
the
halfe
tribe
of
Manasses
,
some
16
miles
from
the
citie
of
Ierusalem
towards
the
North.
This
citie
also
neglecting
the
preachings
and
miracles
of
our
Sauiour
Christ
,
felt
the
efficacie
and
force
of
the
curse
of
the
Sonne
of
God
,
Mat.

For
there
is
not
at
this
day
a
house
to
be
seene
,
onely
some
ruines
where
it
stood
.
Chorazin
doth
denote
a
dukedome
or
principality
,
from
Coh
and
Razon
,
a
Prince
and
Duke
;
for
Rozez
signifies
,
A
laborious
Prince
.
Ierom
turning
this
word
Rozez
into
Razi
,
calls
it
A
secret
mistery
,
or
my
secret
.
Of
Tiberias
.
TIberias
standeth
vpon
the
West
side
of
the
sea
of
Galilee
,
48
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
North.
Before
the
birth
of
Christ
it
was
called
Kinnereth
,
that
is
,
the
city
of
the
Harpe
;
after
which
name
the
lake
of
Tiberias
or
sea
of
Galile
is
called
,
Numb
.
14.
But
Herod
the
Tetrach
of
Galile
(
at
whose
command
Iohn
the
Baptist
was
beheaded
)
did
beautifie
this
Citie
with
many
faire
buildings
and
compassed
about
with
strong
walls
,
and
after
Tiberias
Caesars
name
called
it
Tiberias
.
He
also
gathred
thither
many
inhabitants
,
and
indowed
it
with
many
large
priuiledges
:
for
although
this
place
before
the
restoring
of
the
citie
was
very
filthy
and
impure
,
by
reason
of
the
dead
bodies
both
of
men
and
beasts
,
which
lay
in
that
place
,
(
from
whence
it
hapned
that
the
Iewes
shunned
this
place
as
vtterly
vnlawfull
,
and
durst
not
dwel
there
)
yet
notwithstanding
,
Herod
with
singular
industrie
and
diligence
remoued
all
that
filthinesse
,
and
in
that
very
place
built
vp
this
Citie
both
faire
and
spacious
;
partly
with
gifts
,
partly
with
faire
speeches
alluring
many
Iewes
to
inhabit
therin
.
Many
poore
people
also
built
themselues
houses
at
their
owne
charge
,
and
those
that
had
no
children
gaue
way
vnto
the
liberty
of
the
citie
;
besides
,
many
rich
and
noble
men
were
constrained
to
remoue
their
whole
families
,
and
to
dwell
in
this
citie
,
so
that
in
short
time
it
became
very
well
peopled
,

to

Not
aboue
two
miles
from
Tiberias
towards
the
South
,
vpon
the
shore
of
the
sea
of
Galile
stood
Tarachaea
,
a
town
wherein
Iosephus
dwelt
.
Now
it
hapned
that
the
Citisens
of
Tiberias
vpon
some
discontent
,
and
as
it
was
thought
at
the
instigation
of
one
Clitus
,
fell
into
rebellion
;
of
which
Iosephus
hauing
certaine
intelligence
,
he
caused
all
the
gates
of
Terachaea
to
be
shut
,
least
any
man
going
thence
should
disclose
his
intentions
,
or
any
comming
from
Tiberias
,
should
mooue
that
Citie
also
to
rebellion
;
and
then
priuily
sent
out
a
command
to
assemble
all
the
shippes
and
other
vessels
that
were
vpon
the
sea
or
lake
,
euen
to
the
number
of
230
ships
;
all
which
he
caused
to
be
manned
only
with
foure
men
apiece
,
and
of
a
sudden
sailed
towards
Tiberias
.
But
when
he
came
within
view
of
the
city
,
so
that
the
citisens
from
the
wall
might
discern
the
ships
,
he
left
the
body
of
the
nauie
a
good
way
remote
from
Tiberias
,
and
tooke
only
one
ship
manned
with
seuen
men
,
and
went
close
to
the
citie
of
Tiberias
,
as
it
seemed
to
haue
had
a
parley
with
the
citisens
:
but
they
seeing
such
a
multitude
of
ships
,
and
the
bold
resolution
of
Iosephus
,
supposing
that
they
had
beene
sufficiently
manned
,
and
contained
a
great
armie
,
were
greatly
affraid
,
insomuch
that
they
cast
away
their
armes
,
and
came
out
of
the
citie
with
humble
petitions
to
Iosephus
,
entreating
him
to
spare
the
city
,
and
to
take
pity
of
the
inhabitants
.
Notwithstanding
hee
vtterly
refused
to
shew
them
any
mercie
,
vnlesse
they
would
deliuer
vnto
him
the
Ruler
of
the
citie
,
which
they
did
:
so
he
settled
the
affaires
of
that
Towne
,
and
tooke
the
Ruler
thereof
with
him
to
Terachaea
,
where
hee
committed
him
to
prison
.
But
after
,
it
being
certainely
found
out
that
one
Clitus
was
the
principall
author
of
this
rebellion
,
he
sent
Leuyn
one
of
his
Gard
with
command
to
apprehend
him
and
cut
off
both
his
hands
:
of
which
punishment
Clytus
being
certainly
informed
,
with
tears
and
prayers
humbly
besought
rhis
Leuyn
that
he
would
spare
one
of
his
hands
,
and
he
would
willingly
lose
the
other
;
which
with
much
ado
was
granted
him
,
vpon
condition
that
he
would
cut
off
his
owne
hand
:
so
he
tooke
his
sword
and
cut
off
his
left
hand
;
which
being
done
,
Iosephus
returned
the
captiues
to
Tiberias
and
receiued
the
inhabitants
againe
into
fauour
,
and
euer
after
reteyned
it
in
obedience
.
Vespasian
also
inuaded
this
citie
at
such
time
as
he
vndertooke
his
expedition
against
Ierusalem
,
as
it
appeareth
in
Iosephus
lib.
de
bello
Iuda
.

but
the
inhabitants
fearing
his
greatnesse
,
willingly
submitted
themselues
to
his
power
,
and
opened
him
the
gates
,
going
forth
of
the
citie
to
meet
him
with
great
humilitie
,
giuing
him
and
his
whole
armie
entertainment
into
the
citie
,
receiuing
him
with
musick
and
songs
,
and
with
great
acclamations
and
shouts
;
calling
him
their
Sauiour
and
protector
:
which
kind
of
courtesies
the
Emperour
tooke
very
louingly
,
and
in
token
of
thankefulnesse
for
this
kindenesse
,
hee
commanded
his
souldiers
(
after
they
had
broken
downe
a
great
part
of
the
wall
vpon
the
South
side
)
that
they
should
abstaine
from
all
manner
of
rapine
and
violence
;
so
that
he
continued
there
peaceably
and
went
away
peaceably
.
This
citie
to
this
day
(
as
Borchardus
the
Monke
saith
)
is
a
faire
towne
,
scituated
to
the
longitude
,
vpon
the
shore
of
the
said
sea
,
there
beeing
vpon
the
South
side
many
wholesome
bathes
and
springs
;
and
there
are
to
be
seene
also
many
great
ruins
of
decayed
buildings
.
The
land
also
round
about
is
very
pleasant
and
fertile
,
abounding
with
Palme
trees
,
Vines
,
Oliues
,
and
Figs.
This
city
in
antient
time
was
scituated
in
the
Tribe
of
Issachar
.
Of
Tyrus
or
Zor
.
THis
was
the
chiefe
citie
of
Phoenicia
,
distant
from
Ierusalem
100
miles
towards
the
North.
It
was
first
builded
by
the
citisens
of
Zidon
,
(
because
of
a
sedition
that
hapned
in
that
Citie
)
240
yeares
before
the
Temple
of
Solomon
,
as
Iosephus
saith
,
just
in
the
place
where
at
this
day
the
ruins
of
antient
Tyre
are
to
be
seene
.
But
after
it
began
to
grow
famous
(
which
was
about
such
tims
as
Troy
was
destroled
)
King
Angenor
remoued
it
to
a
rocke
which
stood
in
the
heart
of
the
Mediterranean
sea
,
compassed
about
therewith
like
an
Island
,
Ezek.
26.
and
bestowed
great
cost
in
fortifying
and
building
it
.
It
stood
round
,
compassed
with
strong
walls
,
beautified
with
goodly
buildings
,
and
fairely
scituated
for
the
entertainement
of
shippes
;
for
which
puprose
,
on
euery
side
there
were
many
safe
hauens
and
harbours
made
.
It
was
but
a
small
towne
,
almost
three
miles
about
,
and
two
miles
wide
:
yet
the
great
Mart
Towne
in
those
parts
,
for
Merchants
resorted
thither
from
all
the
three
parts
of
the
World
(
Europe
,
Asia
,
and
Africa
)
as
well
for
the
vttering
as
buying
commodities
;
and
was
made
so
much
the
more
famous
,
because
of
the
scituation
and
strength
:
It
stood
distant
from
the
land
of
Phoenicia
almost
two
miles
;
vpon
which
continent
they
had
obtained
a
portion
of
land
for
the
maintenance
of
the
citie
,
containing
19000
paces
in
compasse
.
The
citizens
also
being
greatly
inriched
,
because
of
their
trafficke
,
built
vp
many
faire
cities
and
townes
in
more
remote
parts
,
which
was
added
to
their
jurisdiction
,
as
Leptis
,
Vtica
,
rnd
Carthage
,
scituated
in
Africa
.
They
also
built
Cades
,
which
at
this
day
is
called
Caliz
,
as
Pliny
saith
,
lib.
5.
cap.
19.
beeing
scituated
in
a
very
faire
Island
in
the
Mediterranian
sea
,
not
far
from
Hercules
pillars
;
insomuch
as
the
citizens
of
this
towne
hauing
thus
inlarged
their
command
,
and
increased
their
substance
;
In
euery
place
they
called
themselues
Princes
,
and
tooke
vpon
them
to
weare
scarlet
and
purple
,
which
colours
in
that
place
aboue
all
other
colours
,
were
most
artificially
dyed
:
And
because
of
the
raritie
of
them
,
transported
thence
into
many
countries
more
remote
.
But
because
of
their
extreame
arrogancie
and
pride
,
it
was
twice
conquered
and
ruinated
:
First
by
Nabuchadonozer
Emperour
of
Babylon
:
and
then
by
Alexander
the
Great
,
as
it
appeareth
in
Quint.
Curtius
,
lib.
in
the
life
of
Alexander
.
Now
the
occasion
that
Alexander
made
warre
vpon
this
Citie
,
was
because
the
citizens
vpon
a
time
sending
vnto
him
certaine
Embassadors
with
a
crowne
of
gold
,
in
token
of
friendship
,
and
to
congratulate
his
prosperitie
(
which
he
accepted
very
kindely
,
and
gaue
them
royall
entertainment
,
as
to
his
friends
)
amongst
other
things
,
hee
told
them
that
hee
would
come
vnto
their
Citie
,
and
doe
sacrifice
to
their
god
Hercules
(
for
the
kings
of
the
Macedonians
are
perswaded
that
they
proceed
from
the
off-spring
of
that
god
,
and
beside
hee
was
commanded
by
an
Oracle
so
to
do
.
)
But
the
Embassadors
of
Tyre
answered
,
that
the
Temple
of
Hercules
stood
without
the
citie
in
Paaetzron
,
where
ancient
Tyre
stood
;
so
that
the
King
might
easily
come
thither
to
doe
sacrifice
;
but
Alexander
hearing
these
words
,
could
not
containe
himselfe
,
but
in
a
great
anger
answered
,
And
doe
yee
proud
Citizens
put
such
trust
in
the
strength
and
scituation
of
your
Citie
,
that
you
thinke
I
am
not
able
to
come
to
it
with
my
Army
by
land
?
You
shall
well
perceiue
within
this
short
space
,
that
you
are
scituated
vpon
the
continent
,
and
that
I
will
enter
it
and
sacke
it
.
With
these
terrible
words
the
Embassadors
departed
and
shortly
after
Alexander
followed
them
with
a
great
and
mightie
army
.
But
when
it
was
knowne
that
Alexander
had
vndertaken
the
sacking
of
this
citie
,
there
were
many
that
thought
it
almost
impossible
for
him
to
accomplish
his
designes
;
first
,
because
of
the
inconstancie
of
the
windes
,
and
the
vehemencie
of
the
water
,
whereby
all
such
matter
as
they
cast
into
the
sea
to
joine
it
to
the
continent
,
would
be
driuen
away
by
the
violence
of
the
Water
;
againe
,
the
city
was
compassed
about
with
such
exceeding
high
walls
,
and
fortified
with
such
strong
towers
,
that
it
was
not
possible
for
him
to
bring
any
engines
to
batter
them
,
or
fasten
any
scaling
ladders
to
ascend
them
,
vnlesse
it
were
by
ships
.
Twice
Alexander
attempted
by
flinging
into
the
sea
mighty
trees
of
Libanus
,
and
heapes
of
the
ruines
of
ancient
Tyre
to
haue
made
a
bridge
to
it
,
or
else
joyne
it
to
the
continent
,
insomuch
as
the
Tyrians
mocked
the
Macedonians
;
saying
,
What
,
can
your
king
Alexander
conquer
Neptune
the
God
of
the
sea
?
For
the
violence
of
the
sea
was
so
extreame
,
that
it
carried
away
all
things
with
it
,
and
oftentimes
broke
the
ships
that
were
joyned
together
to
make
a
bridge
,
and
drowned
the
soldiers
that
besieged
and
sought
against
the
citie
.
During
this
siege
,
a
Citisen
of
Tyrus
dreamt
that
their
Idoll
Apollo
would
depart
from
them
;
whereupon
they
bound
the
Image
of
Apollo
with
a
chaine
of
gold
,
vnto
the
pillar
whereon
he
stood
,
that
he
might
not
leaue
them
.
There
hapned
also
a
horrible
ostent
amongst
the
Macedonians
;
for
a
certaine
souldier
breaking
bread
,
there
fell
from
it
some
few
drops
of
bloud
;
at
the
hearing
of
which
accident
Alexander
was
greatly
amased
,
vntill
hee
was
resolued
by
one
Aristander
a
very
skilfull
Prophet
,
That
if
it
issued
from
off
the
outside
of
the
bread
,
it
had
betokened
a
heauie
euent
to
the
Macedoniaes
;
but
in
regard
that
it
issued
from
the
inside
of
the
bread
,
it
foreshewed
that
hee
should
forthwith
conquer
the
towne
hee
had
so
long
besieged
:
And
so
it
hapned
;
for
when
Alexander
had
besieged
the
city
for
the
space
of
seuen
moneths
,
with
great
difficulty
he
woon
it
:
but
before
he
could
win
it
he
was
constrained
to
vse
a
great
multitude
of
ships
and
fasten
them
together
with
yron
bands
,
vpon
which
placing
many
engines
of
battery
and
other
offensiue
instruments
,
what
with
the
moouing
of
the
ships
and
the
extreame
violence
of
the
batterie
,
they
ouercame
the
citie
.
This
exploit
Alexander
performed
when
he
was
25
yeares
of
age
,
and
about
300
yeares
before
Christ
.
There
was
one
thing
that
Alexander
did
during
his
siege
,
that
was
memorable
;
for
before
any
of
his
souldiers
would
attempt
to
ascend
the
walls
,
hee
went
in
person
with
his
crowne
vpon
his
head
,
and
in
princely
armor
,
and
scaled
a
high
tower
of
the
citie
,
where
he
exprest
an
extraordinary
resolution
,
and
by
reason
of
his
courage
did
great
hurt
to
the
enemy
,
who
perceiuing
him
to
be
the
King
,
resorted
to
that
place
in
great
heaps
,
and
shot
at
him
with
all
their
might
;
but
hee
manfully
defended
himselfe
,
and
compelled
the
enemy
to
fly
.
In
this
assault
there
were
6000
of
the
inhabitants
slaine
;
and
after
he
had
entred
the
wals
and
sackt
the
citie
,
he
caused
2000
to
be
tyed
to
crosses
and
throwne
into
the
sea
.
From
whence
may
be
gathered
,
that
God
by
this
young
Prince
did
accomplish
this
great
worke
,
that
the
prophecies
of
the
Prophets
,
Esay
23.
Ieremy
43.
and
Ezekiel
25.26
.
might
be
fulfilled
.
Afterward
Alexander
(
as
Pliny
and
Strabo
obserueth
)
caused
the
sea
to
be
filled
vp
,
that
it
might
be
no
more
an
Island
,
and
joined
it
to
the
continent
;
vpon
which
place
he
caused
Tyrus
to
be
rebuilded
,
and
compassed
it
about
with
a
wall
fiue
and
twentie
foot
thicke
,
strengthned
with
twelue
towers
,
that
it
might
be
sufficiently
fortified
to
oppose
the
incursion
of
any
enemy
;
so
that
it
continued
safe
a
long
time
after
,
and
in
the
time
of
our
Sauiour
Christ
was
a
faire
city
,
though
it
neuer
attaind
to
the
former
dignitie
and
power
that
it
had
before
Alexander
conquered
it
.
The
ancient
citie
of
Tyre
was
distant
from
this
city
about
foure
miles
towards
the
South
.
Our
Sauiour
Christ
being
in
the
borders
of
Tyrus
and
Sidon
,
helpt
a
woman
of
Canaan
,
whose
daughter
had
beene
cruelly
tormented
with
a
Diuell

In
the
time
of
Dioclesian
the
Emperour
,
there
were
many
Martyrs
put
to
death
in
this
Citie
:
And
at
this
time
it
is
called
by
the
name
of
El
porta
del
zur
,
that
is
,
the
hauen
of
Zur
;
as
it
was
in
the
Old
Testament
called
by
the
name
of
Zor
.
In
the
yeare
1100
,
when
the
holy
land
was
in
the
hands
of
the
Christians
,
there
was
an
Archbishop
of
Tyre
,
vnder
whose
gouerment
were
the
Bishops
of
Ptolomais
,
Sydon
,
and
Beryti
,
&c.
The
holy
man
Origen
lieth
buried
in
this
citie
:
in
the
Church
of
the
holy
Sepulchre
,
which
is
compassed
about
&
fortified
with
a
mighty
strong
wall
.
There
also
lies
buried
the
Emperour
Fredericke
Barbarosso
,
who
died
Anno
1160
,
after
hee
had
done
many
valiant
acts
,
and
fought
many
great
battels
for
the
Christians
against
the
Turkes
and
Saracens
,
being
ouercome
by
Saphadinus
the
Sultans
son
,
and
put
to
flight
,
was
drowned
in
the
riuer
of
Suro
,
to
the
great
griefe
of
his
armie
;
but
he
left
behind
him
a
famous
report
.
Pope
Alexander
the
third
being
a
great
enemie
to
this
Emperour
,
in
S.
Maries
church
in
the
citie
of
Venice
,
when
this
Prince
submitted
himself
to
his
Holinesse
,
set
his
foot
vpon
his
neck
,
repeating
these
words
,
Thou
shalt
tread
vpon
the
Aspe
and
vpon
the
Basiliske
,
&c.
Eusebius
in
his
Ecclesiasticall
Historie
saith
,
that
there
are
yet
standing
in
Tyre
certaine
Marble
pillars
,
and
other
precious
stones
of
a
wonderfull
greatnesse
,
that
it
amaseth
such
as
behold
them
;
neere
to
which
there
haue
beene
many
Christians
and
Pilgrims
put
to
death
by
the
Saracens
.
There
are
also
foure
wels
of
wholesome
and
pleasant
water
standing
not
far
from
it
,
of
which
wells
you
may
reade
before
.
Of
Zidon
.
THis
also
was
a
city
of
Phoenicia
,
scituated
vpon
the
shore
of
the
Mediterranean
sea
,
thirtie
six
miles
from
Ierusalem
toward
the
North
,
and
sixteene
from
Tyrus
.
In
times
past
it
was
assigned
to
the
Tribe
of
Ashur
,
and
lay
vpon
the
borders
of
the
Philistines
,
neere
to
Mount
Libanus
.
Being
called
Sidon
or
Zidon
,
of
Zidon
the
sonne
of
Canaan
,
who
first
built
it
,
Gen.
10.
and
signifies
a
hunter
.
It
was
a
notable
mart
towne
,
wherein
much
Satin
was
made
,
which
kinde
of
stuffe
was
very
precious
among
the
Iewes
:
and
it
is
said
,
That
Ioseph
of
Arimathia
wrapped
the
body
of
our
Sauior
in
white
Satin
,
for
in
Matthew
27.
it
is
called
Zadin
,
which
in
English
is
Satin
.
And
as
at
this
day
the
finest
glasse
is
made
at
Venice
,
so
the
finest
glasse
in
those
times
was
made
at
Sarepta
,
a
city
that
belonged
to
the
Sidonians
:
about
which
there
stood
many
mines
,
of
which
it
is
'
called
Sarepta
,
as
you
may
reade
before
.
This
towne
in
times
past
was
one
of
the
chiefe
cities
of
Phoenicia
,
but
because
of
the
extraordinarie
pride
of
the
citisens
,
God
afflicted
them
with
diuers
punishments
,
&
brought
in
Ocho
king
of
the
Persians
,
who
besieged
it
,
and
by
treason
woon
it
and
burnt
it
to
the
ground
,
as
Diodorus
Siculus
lib.
16.
saith
.
The
Citisens
whereof
were
driuen
to
such
streights
by
the
enemy
,
that
there
perished
in
the
fire
aboue
fortie
thousand
men
.
Within
a
while
after
Darius
last
Emperour
of
the
Persians
rebuilt
it
,
but
made
it
nothing
so
beautifull
,
neither
fortified
it
in
like
manner
as
it
was
before
:
hee
ordained
one
Strato
to
be
King
thereof
,
a
man
proud
and
arrogant
.
After
,
about
three
hundred
and
two
yeares
before
the
natiuitie
of
Christ
,
Alexander
being
then
but
24
yeres
of
age
,
hauing
ouercome
Darius
that
mighty
Emperour
of
the
Persians
,
at
Issa
a
citie
of
Cilicia
,
in
a
cruell
and
sharpe
warre
;
he
sent
Hephestion
one
of
his
Princes
,
to
the
Sydonians
,
with
authoritie
to
depose
Strato
,
and
to
let
the
Citisens
vnderstand
that
they
should
chuse
him
for
their
King
,
whom
they
thought
most
worthy
of
that
honour
,
as
Quint.
Curt.
sheweth
,
lib.
4.
At
this
time
there
was
a
certaine
young
man
among
the
followers
of
Hephestion
,
in
whose
behalfe
he
moued
the
Citisens
that
hee
might
be
their
King
;
but
they
refused
,
saying
,
it
was
not
their
custome
to
chuse
any
to
rule
ouer
them
,
but
such
as
were
of
the
Kings
stocke
and
progenie
.
Hephestion
hearing
this
answer
,
greatly
admired
their
resolution
and
modestie
,
especially
when
they
refused
to
accept
him
for
their
King
,
whom
others
had
sought
to
obtaine
with
fire
and
sword
;
saying
,
Truly
there
is
more
required
to
rule
and
gouerne
a
Kingdome
,
than
to
get
it
;
but
yet
name
one
vnto
me
of
royall
discent
,
whom
you
would
willingly
receiue
to
be
your
King
.
So
they
named
vnto
him
one
Abdolomius
,
who
had
beene
knowne
to
haue
beene
of
the
Kings
stocke
,
by
many
discents
;
but
because
of
his
pouertie
he
was
constrained
to
dwell
in
the
suburbs
of
the
Citie
in
a
cottage
,
and
had
little
else
but
a
Garden
to
liue
vpon
.
This
man
howsoeuer
poore
,
and
because
of
that
,
of
many
contemned
;
yet
hee
was
knowne
to
be
honest
and
of
an
vpright
life
,
following
with
all
dilligence
his
vocation
,
without
any
regard
of
other
businesse
;
insomuch
as
he
was
vtterly
ignorant
of
all
these
stirre
and
combustions
which
had
so
lately
vexed
Asia
.
As
he
was
now
in
his
garden
digging
and
labouring
,
purging
it
of
weeds
,
and
planting
herbes
;
Hephestion
with
the
rest
of
the
Citizens
went
vnto
him
,
and
brought
him
the
robes
and
habiliments
of
a
King
.
The
poore
Gardner
stood
amazed
to
see
such
a
company
of
gallants
come
vnto
him
:
but
Hephestion
told
him
,
That
the
occasion
of
their
comming
was
to
make
an
exchange
with
him
of
those
royall
ornaments
which
he
had
in
his
hands
,
for
those
poore
and
foule
garments
which
he
wore
;
therefore
goe
and
wash
thy selfe
and
returne
.
So
he
did
,
where
immediately
they
put
vpon
him
those
royall
robes
,
and
saluted
him
as
their
Soueraigne
.
Afrer
these
things
were
finished
,
quoth
Hephestion
,
Now
remember
in
what
a
state
thou
art
,
no
more
Gardener
but
a
King
;
and
therefore
take
vnto
thee
the
minde
and
resolution
of
a
King
,
that
so
thou
mayest
rule
and
gouerne
this
citie
as
a
man
worthy
of
that
honour
;
and
remember
,
that
although
the
liues
and
goods
of
thy
subjects
are
at
thy
command
,
yet
by
them
thou
wast
chosen
,
neither
be
forgetfull
of
him
that
was
the
author
of
thine
honour
.
No
sooner
was
he
enthronised
in
his
kingdom
,
but
fame
(
who
is
more
speedie
than
a
thousand
Posts
)
had
dispersed
this
newes
through
all
the
neighbouring
cities
:
some
being
thereby
moued
to
admiration
,
and
quickned
in
their
studies
;
others
stirred
vp
to
indignation
and
enuie
.
Those
that
were
mighty
and
friends
to
Alexander
,
contemned
and
despised
his
humilitie
and
pouertie
;
and
no
sooner
were
they
come
into
his
presence
,
but
they
began
to
accuse
him
for
his
ignorance
:
wherefore
Alexander
commanded
that
he
should
come
before
him
,
where
,
after
hee
had
wel●
viewed
the
lineaments
and
proportion
of
his
person
,
and
could
not
perceiue
it
any
whit
repugnant
to
the
fame
of
his
birth
,
hee
demanded
of
him
how
it
was
possible
that
hee
should
endure
his
pouertie
with
patience
.
To
which
he
answered
,
I
pray
the
gods
I
may
continue
the
gouernment
of
this
kingdome
with
the
like
minde
;
for
these
hands
were
sufficient
for
me
to
liue
by
,
and
as
I
had
nothing
,
so
I
wanted
nothing
.
At
which
answer
Alexander
was
so
well
pleased
,
that
he
not
only
gaue
him
all
the
princely
jewels
and
ornaments
of
the
first
king
called
Strato
,
but
also
a
great
part
of
the
booty
which
he
tooke
from
the
Emperor
of
Persia
,
and
added
to
his
command
all
the
neighboring
countries
round
about
.
This
history
I
haue
inserted
,
that
thereby
we
might
perceiue
the
mighty
power
of
God
in
all
his
works
;
that
can
exalt
the
poore
,
contented
with
his
estate
,
out
of
the
very
dust
,
and
can
pull
the
mighty
from
their
thrones
.
So
the
Euill
carke
and
care
in
this
world
to
gather
riches
for
the
Vertuous
to
inherit
.
But
to
return
to
Sidon
:
This
city
did
so
much
increase
,
and
grew
so
famous
in
succeeding
ages
,
that
it
was
the
chiefe
town
(
Tyrus
onely
excepted
)
in
all
Phoenicia
,
ioyning
vpon
the
West
to
the
Mediterranian
sea
,
extending
it selfe
towards
the
North
and
South
,
lying
in
a
plain
vnder
Antilibanus
,
which
mountain
lay
some
two
miles
off
it
vpon
the
East
.
It
oftentimes
,
because
of
the
pride
of
the
inhabitants
,
felt
the
wrath
and
punishing
hand
of
God
,
as
wel
by
the
inuasion
of
Enemies
,
as
sickenesse
and
dearth
,
according
to
the
predictions
of
the
Prophets
,
Esay
28.
and
Ezek.
28.
vntil
at
last
in
succeeding
ages
it
was
vtterly
destroyed
,
the
ruins
of
which
city
remain
to
this
day
,
and
make
euident
that
it
was
a
faire
and
spatious
towne
.
There
is
to
be
seen
yet
to
this
day
a
city
built
out
of
the
ruines
of
the
former
(
though
nothing
so
large
as
it
)
very
strong
&
mightily
fortified
,
so
that
it
seemeth
almost
inuincible
,
if
it
haue
men
wherewith
to
defend
it
.
Vpon
the
one
side
it
ioyneth
to
the
sea
,
and
vpon
the
other
side
of
it
there
standeth
two
mighty
strong
castles
,
one
of
them
scituated
toward
the
North
,
vpon
a
very
strong
●ock
as
it
were
in
the
heart
of
the
sea
,
the
which
was
built
by
cer●ain
Pilgrims
that
came
out
of
Germany
to
visit
the
holy
city
of
●erusalem
.
The
other
of
them
was
scituated
vpon
a
hill
toward
the
South
of
the
city
,
as
well
fortified
,
and
no
lesse
difficult
to
be
conquered
.
These
two
castles
with
the
whole
city
in
times
past
were
in
the
hands
of
the
Knights
templers
.
The
land
round
about
it
is
very
pleasant
and
fertile
,
abounding
with
all
kinde
of
good
things
necessarie
for
the
maintenance
of
life
and
delight
.
There
is
also
found
great
aboundance
of
Grapes
which
are
very
delicious
and
pleasant
to
the
tast
,
wherof
the
wine
Canamella
is
made
.
But
because
the
Turkes
and
Saracens
are
inhibited
by
the
strict
law
of
their
Alcaron
from
drinking
of
wine
,
therefore
they
suffer
no
vineyards
to
be
planted
,
neither
the
inhabitants
to
dresse
those
Vines
that
grow
naturally
.
Before
the
East
gate
of
the
antient
city
which
now
lies
destroied
,
there
is
built
a
Chappel
,
in
which
place
they
say
the
woman
of
Canaan
entreated
our
Sauior
Christ
to
cast
a
Diuell
out
of
her
daughter
,
Mat.

The
mountain
Antilibanus
beginneth
close
by
the
riuer
Eleutherius
,
and
extends
it selfe
beyond
Tripolis
;
and
in
some
places
it
ioyneth
so
close
to
the
sea
,
that
for
the
streightnesse
of
the
wayes
those
that
trauel
that
way
can
scarse
passe
.
In
this
city
was
the
fairest
purple
in
all
those
parts
:
nay
as
some
Authors
affirme
,
the
like
was
not
to
be
found
in
the
world
,
&c.
Of
Cana
Syro-Phoenicea
.
THis
towne
,
which
was
called
Cana
the
Great
,
was
scituated
vpon
the
borders
of
Tyrus
and
Sydon
,
112
miles
from
Ierusalem
Northward
,
scituated
in
the
Tribe
of
Ashur
,
4
miles
from
Sydon
towards
the
South
,
and
three
from
Sarepta
towards
the
East
.
In
this
towne
the
Syrophoenician
dwelt
,
that
besought
our
Sauior
Christ
to
heale
her
daughter
that
was
possessed
of
a
diuel
,
Mat.

It
was
called
Cana
,
to
put
a
difference
betweene
it
and
another
Cana
scituated
in
Galile
the
lower
;
in
which
city
our
Sauior
Christ
turned
water
into
wine
.
You
may
reade
more
of
this
towne
before
.
Of
Trachonitis
.
THis
city
was
so
called
from
the
stony
hardnes
of
the
mountains
of
Gilead
which
compasse
it
in
vpon
the
East
side
:
in
which
prouince
the
tribe
of
Gad
and
the
halfe
tribe
of
Manasses
inhabited
.
It
was
in
antient
times
called
Basan
;
in
which
Og
the
mighty
Gyant
had
a
great
command
:
but
Moses
ouercame
him
,
and
gaue
the
land
to
the
tribe
of
Gad
and
the
half
tribe
of
Manasses
.
In
Christs
time
the
Tetrarch
and
gouernour
of
it
was
Philip
,
who
was
son
to
Herod
the
Great
,
and
brother
to
Herod
Antipas
Tetrach
in
Galile
and
Petraea
;
which
Herod
tooke
to
wife
Herodia
,
whom
his
brother
Philip
had
formerly
maried
,
the
said
Philip
beeing
at
that
time
aliue
:
but
because
Iohn
Baptist
reprehended
him
for
that
fact
,
therefore
at
her
request
he
was
beheaded
in
the
Castle
of
Machera
.
Itura
was
another
Prouince
belonging
to
the
tetrarchy
of
Philip
,
ioyning
vpon
the
West
to
the
riuer
of
Iordan
,
and
called
Galile
of
the
Gentiles
,
of
which
you

reade

Of
Decapolis
.
THis
country
is
so
called
of
ten
cities
that
were
scituated
in
it
.
It
stood
beyond
Iordan
and
the
sea
of
Galile
,
as
may
be
gathered
out
of
Mark
,
ca.
7.
and
Mat.

So
that
it
is
manifest
that
that
country
which
in
times
past
was
called
Gilead
,
was
afterward
known
and
called
by
the
name
of
Decapolis
,
because
of
the
ten
cities

stood
there
;

This
opinion
exactly
agreeth
with
that
of

scripture
.
Yet
I
know
there
are
some
(
as
Plin.
lib.

and
others
)
who
differ
from
this
in
the
description
of
this
countrey
,
but
they
erre
from
the
truth
.
Of
Magdala
.
THis
was
a
city
scituated
vpon
the
West
side
of
the
Galilean
sea
,
52
miles
from
Ierusalem
Northward
;
in
which
Country
Mary
(
who
of
this
town
was
called
Magdalen
)
was
borne
.
At
this
time
this
city
is
called
by
the
name
of
Castle
Magdala
;
in
which
place
they
shew
the
house
of
Mary
Magdalen
.
Vpon
the
West
and
North
side
of
the
city
there
lieth
a
great
and
spatious
plain
,
preserued
only
for
pasture

It
may
be
a

of
the
Christian
Church
,
which
in
this
world
may
rightly
be
said
to
haue
a
poore

,
but
yet
is
a

There
was
also
a
towne
called
after
this
name
,
scituated
at
the
foot
of
this
mountaine
,
where
Ziba
and
Zalmana
Kings
of
the

put
to
death
the

It
was
a
very
fruitfull
and
pleasant
place
.
Concerning
the
signification
of
the
name
you
may
reade
before
.
Egesippus
saith
,
That
this
mountaine
is
almost
foure
miles
in
height
,
and
that
vpon
the
toppe
thereof
there
is
a
round
Plaine
almost
three
miles
ouer
,
in
which
there
growes
great
plenty
of
trees
of
an
admirable
pleasantnesse
and
sweetnesse
;
amongst
which
Trees
there
are
many
birds
which
sing
very
pleasantly
,
to
the
great
delight
of
all
such
as
heare
them
:
and
the
aire
on
the
top
of
it
is
very
pure
and
pleasant
.
It
is
the
receiued
opinion
,
that
vpon
the
top
of
this
mountain
our
Sauiour
Christ
in
the
presence
of
Peter
,
Iames
,
and
Iohn
,
was
transfigured
,
and
he
spake
with
the
holy
Prophets
Moses
and
Elias
,
Mat.

Luke

which
place
at
this
day
is
compassed
about
with
a
great
Wall
,
within
which
is
a
faire
and
pleasant
Orchard
,
watered
with
many
cleare
&
goodly
springs
,
but
there
is
no
man
that
dwels
in
it
,
(
notwithstanding
there
are
many
townes
and
inhabitants
at
the
foot
of
the
mountaine
)
neither
do
they
thinke
any
man
worthy
to
dwel
in
it
,
they
hold
it
in
such
estimation
,
and
reuerence
it
as
the
Hill
of
God
.
There
are
to
be
seen
in
it
diuers
great
ruins
of
Pallaces
,
Towers
,
and
princely
Edifices
;
in
which
at
this
day
there
harbour
many
Lions
and
other
wilde
beasts
.
It
is
very
difficult
to
ascend
vp
to
the
toppe
of
it
,
it
is
so
exceeding
high
:
it
is
one
of
the
principal
hils
in
the
holy
land
,
not
only
because
that
Christ
on
it
was
transfigured
,
but
because
it
is
verie
fruitfull
,
and
plentifully
aboundeth
with
Vines
and
other
profitable
plants
,
and
herbs
.
The
aire
thereof
is
wholsome
and
good
,
and
the
dew
vpon
it
rising
thick
and
sweet
,
with
indifferent
rain

the

high

Christ
descending
from
this
mountaine
,
spake
to
his

saying

There

Ierusalem
Northward
,
which
hill
is
also
called

and
is
three
miles
distant
from
Caesarea
Philippi

:
but
that
was
not

of
Christs
Transfiguration
.
The
Trauels
of
Christ
in
the
fourth
yeare
of
his
Ministery
,

IN
the
moneth
of
Ianuary
Christ
the
sonne
of

wintered
in
Bethabara
,
16
miles
from
Ierusalem
Northeastward
,
where
Iohn
sometimes
baptised
,
Ioh.

And
many
came
vnto
him
saying
,
Iohn
shewed
vs
no
signes
,
but
whatsoeuer
he
preached
of
this
Christ
are
true
.
And
many
beleeued
on
him
.
Now
as
Christ
went
into
the
Desart
to
preach
,
his
Disciples
came
vnto
him
saying
,
Lord
teach
vs
to
pray
,
as
Iohn
taught
his
Disciples
to
pray
.
Wherupon
he
prescribed
to
his
Disciples
a
forme
of
prayer
,
which
is
called
the
Lords
prayer
,
Luke
11.
At
this
time
there
came
vnto
him
a
great
multitude
,
and
thronged
about
him
,
where
hee
made
that
long
sermon
which
is
described
Luke
12
&
13.
Vpon
the
seuenteenth
day
of
Ianuarie
,
it
being
then
the
Sabbath
,
he
cured
a
certaine
woman
which
had
beene
diseased
18
yeares
,
Luke
13.
And
when
there
came
vnto
him
certain
Pharisees
saying
,
Thou
art
the
Sonne
of
God
,
wherefore
get
thee
out
of
this
countrey
,
for
Herod
seeks
to
kill
thee
:
Iesus
answered
them
saying
,
Goe
and
tell
that
crafty
Foxe
,
Behold
,
I
cast
out
Diuels
to
day
and
to
morrow
,
and
the
third
day
I
shall
be
perfected
.
Presently
he
departed
out
of
Petraea
,
(
where
Herod
kept
his
Court
in
the
castle
of
Macharuntes
)
and
went
into
Galile
beyond
Iordan
,
28
miles
,
Luke
13.
Vpon
the
last
day
of
Ianuary
being
the
Sabbath
,
our
Lord
and
Sauiour
Christ
healed
(
in
the
house
of
a
certaine
prince
of
the
Pharisees
)
a
man
sicke
of
the
dropsie
,
and
recited
the
parable
of
the
great
Supper
,
Luke
14.
In
the
moneth
of
February
he
went
through
all
Galile
,
which
was
80
miles
long
,
and
24
broad
;
in
which
visitation
there
followed
him
a
great
company
.
And
when
there
came
vnto
him
Publicans
and
sinners
,
he
began
to
speake
of
repentance
:
but
the
Pharisees
and
Scribes
murmured
at
him
,
and
opposed
his
parables
of
the
lost
sheep
,
of
the
woman
that
had
lost
her
groat
,
&
of
the
prodigal
son
,
Luke
15.
And
a
little
after
he
recited
vnto
his
disciples
the
parable
of
the
vniust
Steward
,
and
of
Dives
and
Lazarus
,
Luke
16.
About
the
later
end
of
February
(
as
by
the
circumstance
of
the
historie
and
times
may
appeare
)
he
made
that
sermon
of
the
power
of
Faith
and
Good
works
,
&c.
Luk.
17.
And
going
out
of
Galile
through
the
middest
of
Samaria
he
healed
the
ten
Lepers
,
Luk.
17.
he
recited
the
parable
of
the
vniust
Iudge
,
and
that
of
the
Publican
and
Pharisee
,
Luke
18.
In
the
moneth
of
March
hee
finished
this
generall
visitation
.
Which
journies
were
so
many
&
diuers
that
his
disciples
could
not
describe
them
.
Notwithstanding
in
this
moneth
he
went
into
the
borders
of
Iudaea
and
Petraea
beyond
Iordan
,
and
came
to
Bethabara
where
Iohn
somtimes
baptised
,
and
there
followed
him
a
great
company
,
and
he
healed
them
,
Matth.
19.
Mark
10.
There
the
Pharisees
moued
the
disputation
of
the
Diuorce
,
and
Christ
louingly
embraced
the
little
children
,
Mar.
20.
In
this
moneth
of
March
Lazarus
the
brother
of
Martha
and
Mary
,
who
dwelt
at
Bethania
,
fell
sicke
of
a
deadly
disease
,
and
they
sent
messengers
to
Christ
,
who
at
this
time
was
at
Bethabara
,
to
giue
him
to
vnderstand
of
his
sicknesse
,
Ioh.
11.
This
message
came
vnto
our
Sauiour
Christ
to
Bethabara
vpon
the
twentieth
day
of
March
,
being
the
last
day
of
the
twelfth
month
Adar
,
Anno
Mundi
4000.
and
about
such
time
as
the
seuenty
weekes
spoken
of
by
Daniel
were
fully
ended
:
At
the
end
of
which
prophecie
it
behooued
Christ
,
that
he
might
fulfil
the
prophecies
of
the
old
Testament
)
to
suffer
,
and
by
his
resurrection
and
ascention
to
enter
into
the
glory
of
God
,
and
to
be
partaker
of
his
eternall
kingdome
.
Although
our
Sauior
had
receiued
this
message
of
the
sickenesse
of
Lazarus
,
he
stayed
at
Bethabara
.
Two
dayes
after
,
and
as
it
may
be
thought
about
the
22
day
of
March
,
which
was
the
second
day
of
the
first
moneth
Ahib
,
Lazarus
died
.
But
Lazarus
being
dead
and
buried
,
then
our
Sauiour
went
from
Bethabara
towards
Iericho
,
Ioh.
14.
Luke
8.
and
in
the
way
a
man
came
to
him
and
said
,
Good
Master
what
shall
I
do
that
I
may
inherit
eternall
life
?
Christ
said
vnto
him
,
Go
and
sell
all
that
thou
hast
,
and
giue
it
vnto
the
Poore
,
and
thou
shalt
finde
treasure
in
heauen
,
and
then
come
and
follow
me
.
But
because
hee
was
very
rich
he
refused
,
and
went
his
way
.
After
,
he
recited
the
Parable
of
the
Laborers
in
the
vineyard
,
making
mention
of
predestination
.
Also
in
this
journy
he
reprehended
the
sons
of
Zebedeus
for
their
pride
and
arrogancie
,
and
fore-telleth
his
disciples
of
his
death
and
passion
,
and
in
the
way
healed
the
blinde
man
that
sate
begging
,
and
so
entred
into
Iericho
,
where
he
rested
all
night
in
the
house
of
Zacheus
,
Mat.
20.
Zacheus
signifies
Clean.
Vpon
the
24
of
March
Christ
went
from
Iericho
to
Bethania
,
which
was
12
miles
.
Here
he
healed
Bartimeus
the
son
of
Timaeus
,
Mark
10.
(
Timaus
signifieth
Vncleane
,
of
Tame
,
Hee
is
defiled
)
And
going
a
little
further
hee
healed
other
two
,
restoring
them
to
sight
,
Matth.
19.
Vpon
the
25
of
March
(
being
Tuesday
)
our
Sauior
Christ
came
to
Bethania
,
where
by
the
power
of
his
word
he
raised
Lazarus
to
life
after
he
had
bin
buried
four
daies
,
Io.
11.
Lazarus
and
Eleazer
haue
both
one
signification
,
that
is
,
God
is
my
Helpe
.
Vpon
the
26
day
of
March
,
the
feast
of
the
Passeouer
of
the
Iews
drawing
neere
,
he
sent
from
Bethania
to
the
city
of
Ephraim
neere
to
the
desart
,
that
he
might
auoid
the
traps
and
deceits
of
the
Iewes
,
who
went
about
to
take
him
,
Iohn
11.
which
was
ten
miles
.
Vpon
the
27
day
of
March
hee
returned
backe
againe
from
Ephraim
to
Bethania
(
being
10
miles
)
comming
thither
about
the
euening
,
six
daies
before
the
Passeouer
,
at
which
time
Martha
ministred
to
him
,
&
Mary
anointed
his
feet
,
wherat
Iudas
grutched
,
Ioh.
12.
Vpon
the
Sabbath
day
,
being
the
28
of
March
,
hee
rested
in
Bethania
at
the
house
of
Martha
.
Now
as
he
was
at
supper
with
Lazarus
,
many
of
the
Iewes
vnderstanding
that
he
was
there
,
resorted
thither
,
not
onely
to
see
him
,
but
Lazarus
also
whom
hee
had
raised
from
the
dead
,
Ioh.
12.
Vpon
the
29
of
March
Christ
sitting
vpon
an
asse
went
to
Ierusalem
.
Now
when
the
multitude
heard
that
he
was
come
vnto
Ierusalem
,
they
went
out
to
meet
him
,
some
laying
their
garments
in
the
way
,
others
strowing
the
boughes
of
trees
,
where
he
should
go
;
and
those
that
went
before
cried
saying
,
Hosanna
to
the
Sonne
of
Dauid
,
blessed
be
he
that
commeth
in
the
name
of
the
Lord
.
At
this
time
our
Sauiour
Christ
wept
ouer
Ierusalem
,
and
cast
out
all
those
that
bought
and
sold
in
the
Temple
,
Matt.
21.
Ioh.
cap.
17.
About
the
euening
he
went
out
of
the
city
again
to
Bethania
,
almost
two
miles
,
and
there
rested
all
night
,
Mat.
21.
So
this
daies
journy
was
almost
foure
miles
.
In
the
euening
of
this
day
the
Iewes
chose
their
Paschal
lambe
,
according
to
the
Law
,
Exod.
12.
Vpon
the
30
day
of
March
hee
went
from
Bethania
to
Ierusalem
betimes
in
the
morning
;
in
which
journy
he
cursed
the
Fig-tree
that
wanted
fruit
,
and
after
entring
into
the
city
,
hee
cast
out
of
the
Temple
the
mony-changers
and
Merchants
,
Mark
11.
About
the
euening
(
as
may
be
gathered
by
circumstance
of
time
)
he
returned
back
again
to
Bethania
.
This
daies
journy
was
foure
miles
.
Vpon
the
last
day
of
March
in
the
morning
Christ
went
back
againe
from
Bethania
to
Ierusalem
;
and
by
the
way
as
hee
went
,
his
Disciples
beheld
the
Figge
tree
that
he
had
cursed
,
and
loe
it
it
was
dried
vp
,
Mar.
11.
After
,
when
he
was
in
the
Temple
,
there
came
certaine
Pharisees
vnto
him
and
disputed
with
him
.
At
which
time
he
recited
the
Parable
of
the
mariage
of
the
Kings
daughter
.
Also
certaine
Scribes
and
Pharisees
came
vnto
him
asking
him
whether
it
was
lawfull
to
pay
tribute
vnto
Caesar
,
Matth.
21.22
.
He
also
sharply
rebuked
the
Scribes
and
Pharisees
,
and
recited
the
Simile
of
the
Hen
and
her
Chickens
,
Mat.
23.
After
that
,
he
went
to
the
mount
of
Olives
,
almost
a
mile
.
And
then
his
Disciples
looking
vpon
the
goodly
building
of
the
temple
,
from
thence
he
tooke
occasion
to
preach
of
the
destruction
of
Ierusalem
,
&
the
consummation
of
the
world
;
so
he
stayd
al
that
night
in
the
mount
of
Oliues
,
Mat.
24.
Vpon
the
first
day
of
Aprill
being
Wednesday
,
our
Sauiour
Christ
rising
before
day
,
taught
again
in
the
Temple
;
and
after
as
he
was
going
to
Bethania
,
he
said
to
his
Disciples
,
Know
yee
that
within
these
two
daies
is
the
feast
of
the
Passouer
,
and
the
Son
of
man
shall
be
deliuered
tnto
the
hands
of
sinners
,
and
crucified
.
At
the
same
time
the
chiefe
Priests
assembled
themselues
together
,
and
took
counsell
how
they
might
do
to
take
him
by
deceit
,
Mat.
26.
The
same
day
as
our
Sauiour
Christ
was
in
the
house
of
Simon
the
Leper
,
(
whom
he
had
healed
of
that
sicknesse
)
there
came
a
woman
and
brought
a
box
of
pretious
ointment
and
poured
it
vpon
his
head
,
at
which
the
Disciples
murmured
,
Mat.

Luke

Iohn
ca.
13.
From
the
ninth
houre
to
the
tenth
houre
,
about
the
second
Watch
of
the
night
,
Iudas
that
Traitor
went
from
his
Disciples
,
Ioh.
13.
In
the
mean
time
Christ
made
that
long
sermon
recited
onely
by
Iohn
,
14.15.16
.
and
made
that
effectual
prayer
,
Iohn
17.
About
the
10
houre
(
after
they
had
sung
a
Psalme
)
Christ
went
ouer
the
brooke
Cedron
,
to
the
garden
of
Gethsamene
,
being
somwhat
more
than
halfe
a
mile
.
There
between
the
hours
of
11
and
12
,
he
sweat
water
and
bloud
,
and
prayed
earnestly
.
About
12
of
the
clock
,
it
being
then
midnight
,
Christ
was
betraied
by
Iudas
,
who
about
three
daies
before
had
sold
him
for
thirty
siluerlings
,
which
was
worth
about
3
li.
15
s.
From
Gethsamene
the
Iews
brought
him
bound
to
Ierusalem
being
more
than
halfe
a
mile
:
and
about
one
of
the
clocke
in
the
morning
caried
him
to
the
house
of
Annas
who
was
one
of
the
chiefe
priests
.
About
two
of
the
clock
they
led
him
from
thence
to
Caiaphas
chiefe
Priest
.
From
three
of
the
clock
till
4
,
(
which
was
about
cocks
crowing
)
Peter
denied
Christ
.
At
the
same
time
Caiaphas
and
all
the
Priests
of
Ierusalem
would
haue
condemned
the
Lord
of
Glory
the
son
of
God
.
At
the
same
time
also
the
seruants
and
Officers
of
the
Priests
beat
him
and
mocked
him
.
About
fiue
of
the
clock
in
the
morning
Christ
was
condemned
by
the
whole
consent
of
the
Synedrion
of
the
Iewes
,
Luke
22.
All
these
things
Christ
suffered
between
Thursday
and
Friday
.
And
whereas
the
Iewes
according
to
the
commandement
of
God
begin
their
day
in
the
euening
,
therefore
that
night
wherin
our
Sauiour
Christ
suffered
all
these
things
,
belonged
vnto
the
14
day
of
the
moneth
Abib
.
So
that
iust
at
the
same
time
as
the
Feast
of
the
Paschal
Lambe
was
celebrated
amongst
the
Iewes
,
Christ
the
true
Lambe
of
God
was
made
a
liuing
sacrifice
on
the
Crosse
for
the
sinnes
of
man
.
Thus
as
we
haue
obserued
the
houres
of
the
night
,
so
likewise
let
vs
obserue
the
houres
of
the
day
.
Friday
being
the
third
day
of
Aprill
(
which
as
I
haue
said
began
the
euening
before
)
was
the
fourteenth
day
of
the
first
moneth
Abib
or
Nisan
among
the
Iewes
.
At
six
of
the
clock
in
the
morning
,
about
Sunne
rising
of
the
same
day
,
our
Sauiour
Iesus
Christ
was
brought
vnto
Pilat
,
and
Iudas
Iscariot
hanged
himselfe
,
because
he
had
betrayed
the
innocent
bloud
.
About
seuen
of
the
clock
in
the
same
morning
our
Sauior
Christ
was
carried
to
Herod
Antipas
,
that
cruell
Tyrant
who
the
yeare
before
had
put
Iohn
Baptist
to
death
:
here
he
was
daisdainfully
handled
.
At
8
of
the
clocke
our
Sauior
Christ
returned
to
Pilat
,
who
propounded
vnto
the
Iewes
(
because
they
were
to
haue
a
capital
offender
deliuered
vnto
them
at
the
feast
of
the
Passouer
)
whether
they
would
haue
Iesus
their
King
,
or
Barabas
who
had
beene
a
murtherer
,
let
loose
vnto
them
?
But
they
condemned
Iesus
and
chose
Barabas
,
which
name
signifies
,
The
sonne
of
the
multitude
,
or
a
seditious
man
.
About
9
of
the
clock
in
the
morning
(
which
the
Iews
commonly
called
the
third
houre

our

carying

About

of

(
the

beeing
not

our
Sauior
Christ
was
fastned
vpon

He
therefore
hung
4
hours
vpon
the
crosse
,
that
is
,
from
about
11
of
the
clocke
,
till
about
three
in
the
afternoon
.
And
he
spake
before
that
supernatural
Eclipse
of
the
Sun
three
memorable
sayings
:
First
,
Father
forgiue
them
,
for
they
know
not
what
they
doe
,
Luke

Secondly
he
said
to
his
mother
,
Woman
behold
thy
Sonne
:
And
to
Iohn
being
conuerted
,
Behold
thy
mother

Thirdly
,
to

,
Verily
I
say
vnto

this

thou

call
the
sixt
houre
,
that
is
,
the
sixt
houre
from
the
rising
of
the
Sunne
)
that
supernatural
Eclipse
of
the
Sunne
happened
,
of
which
you
may
reade
in
Dionysius

,
and

About
three
of
the
clock
in
the
afternoone
,
which
the
Iewes
call
the
ninth
houre
(
the
Sunne
now
beginning
to
receiue
his
light
)
our
Sauiour
Christ
spake
these
foure
sayings
,
My
God
,
my
God
why
hast
thou
forsaken
me
?

When
he
had
taken

Sponge
he
said
,
It

,
Ioh.

And
after
,
crying
out
with
a
loud
voice
he
said
,
Father
into
thy
hands
I
commend
my
spirit
,
and
so
died
.

About
foure
of

in

was
pierced
through
with
a

there
issued

About
fiue
of
the
clock
,
which
the
Iews
call

eleuenth
houre
of
the
day
,
our
Sauior
Christ
was
buried
by
Ioseph
of
Arimathea
and
Nicodemus
.
About
the
sixt
houre
there
fell
an
eclipse
of
the
Moone
,
which
was
naturall
and
not
miraculous
,
neither
is
it
obserued
by
any
of
the
Euangelists
.
Vpon
the
fifteenth
day
of
the
first
month
,
which
answereth
to
the
4
of
Aprill
(
beeing
iustly
called
the
great
and
holy
Sabbath
of
the
Iewes
,
for
that
Christ
this
day
rested
in
the
Sepulchre
)
the
Priests
&
Pharisees
being
partly
ioyful
because
,
as
they
thought
,
the
disturber
of
the
common
peace
&
one
that
opposed
their
authority
was
dead
;
and
partly
carefull
how
they
might
preuent
his
resurrection
,
went
to
Pilat
,
and
obtained
of
him
a
band
of
soldiers
to
watch
the
sepulchre
,
and
to
put
his
seale
vpon
the
stone
.
Vpon
the
fift
day
of
Aprill
early
in
the
morning
,
our
Sauiour
Christ
hauing
ouercome
death
and
the
diuel
,
by
his
diuine
power
raised
him self
vp
from
the
dead
,
according
as
he
had
foretold
his
disciples
,
and
appeared
to
Mary
Magdalen
,
Ioh.

and
to
other
women
that
touched
his
feet
,

About
noone
he
appeared
to

In
the
afternoone
hee
trauelled
with
two
of
his
disciples
almost
8
miles
,
to
the
castle
of
Emaus
,
Luke
24.
One
of
these
disciples
was
Cleopas
the
brother
of
Ioseph
,
who
brought
vp
our
Sauiour
Christ
.
The
other
,
as
may
be
gathered
by
the
circumstance
of
the
story
,
was
Luke
,
because
hee
hath
set
it
down
so
exactly
.
In
the
euening
of
the
same
day
he
returned
inuisibly
from
Emaus
to
Ierusalem
,
8
miles
,
where
when
the
doores
were
all
shut
,
and
his
disciples
were
assembled
together
for
feare
of
the
Iewes
,
Iesus
came
and
stood
in
the
midst
of
them
and
said
,
Peace
be
vnto
you
.
And
he
shewed
himselfe
to
all
his
Disciples
except
Thomas

for
the
Sabbath
of
the

(
as

.
witnesseth
)
is
not
onely
taken
for
a
day
of
rest
,
but
also
for
the
whole
weeke
:
from
whence
is
that
saying
in

Vpon
the
12
day
of
April
,
and
eight
daies
after
his
resurrection
,
he
appeared
again
to
dis
disciples
,
Thomas
being
then
present
and
the
dores
shut
;
that
hee
might
make
euident
that
his
Omnipotencie
was
not
tied
to
any
secondary
causes
,
or
hindered
by
the
property
of
any
natural
bodies
,
which
according
to
S.
Austin
.
Ser.
160.
was
so
much
the
more
wonderful
,
because
hee
appeared
vnto
them
substantially
and
effectually
,
not
as
a
Phantasma
or
Shadow
which
vanisheth
away
,
and
is
without
any
corporiall
substance
.
In
the
same
moneth
of
Aprill
our
Sauiour
Christ
appeared
again
to
Peter
,
Thomas
,
Nathaniel
,
the
sons
of
Zebedeus
,
and
other
two
Disciples
,
as
they
were
fishing
vpon
the
shore
of
Tiberias
,
which
stood
56
miles
from
Ierusalem
Northward
,
betweene
Bethsaida
and
Capernaum
,
Ioh.

The
day
of
this
apparition
is
not
set
downe
.
From
the
sea
of
Tiberias
neere
to
Capernaum
and
Bethsaida
,
to
mount
Thabor
scituated
in
Galile
,
is
reckoned
10
miles
:
there
about
the
end
of
April
our
Sauior
Christ
appeared
to
aboue
500
brethren
at
once
,
where
many
worshipped
him
,
&
others
doubted
,
Mat.

In
the
month
of
May
our
Sauior
Christ
appeared
to
Iames
the
son
of
Alpheus
,
for
he
had
been
seen
before
of
Iames
the
sonne
of
Zebedeus
:
both
which
were
after
crowned
with
martyrdom
in
the
city
Ierusalem
;
the
son
of
Zebedeus
vpon
the
25
day
of
Iuly
,
ten
yeares
after
the
resurrection
;
and
the
sonne
of
Alpheus
vpon
the
feast
day
of
the
Passeouer
was
throwne
from
a
Pinnacle
of
the
Temple
,
29
yeares
after
the
resurrection
of
our
Sauior
.
Vpon
the
40
day
after
his
resurrection
hee
returned
fiftie
sixe
miles
to
Ierusalem
,
where
his
disciples
were
assembled
together
:
and
vpon
the
fourteenth
day
of
May
,
in
the
sight
of
all
the
Apostles
,
with
great
triumph
and
ioy
he
ascended
vp
into

But

And

at
such
time
as
Vespasian

wasted
and
destroied
Ierusalem
and
all
the
land
of

yet
afterward
it
was
re-edified
,
and
in
Ieroms
time
which
was
400
yeares

,
it
was
a
faire
city

the

,
and
the

that
he
went
vpon

But
by
reason
of
the

destructions

that
hath
fallen
vpon
it
,
there
is
not
to
be

at

eight

all
the
monuments

the

only
the
place
is
to

where
our

restored
the

when
hee
cried
after
him

Also
though
this
Countrey

be
very
fruitfull

pleasant
,
yet
is
it
nothing
so
fertile
and
pleasant
as
it
was
when
the
Children
of
Israel
did
dwell
there
.
For
the
Roses
of

no
more
to
bee
found
there
,

rather
in
a

about
sixteen
miles

And
although
they
stand
so

Between

whereof

Heere
our
Sauiour
Christ
,
after
he
had
raised
Lazarus
from
death
to

,
hid
himself
with
his
disciples
,
because
the
Iewes
sought
to
take

made
a

THis
city
was
a
type
of
the
Church
,
which
is
alwaies
subject
to
the
Crosse
,
and
exposed
to
euery
calamitie
;
and
therefore
is

,
The
house

sorrow

affliction

being
deriued
of

an

According

the
prophecie

who
foretold
of
the
afflictions

tribulations
that
should
fall
vpon
his
Church

You
shall
mourn

you
shall

hauing
an

not
without

our

did
oftentimes
resort

and
in
that
place
there
is
at
this
day
a
Church
built
in
honour
of
those
two
sisters
,
which
were
the
sisters
of
Lazarus

There
is
also
seen
the
sepulchre
out
of
which
Lazarus
was
raised
from
death
to

which
stands
close
by
the
said
Church
,
and
ouer
it
is
built
a
chappell
of
Marble

very
decent
and
comely

The
Saracens
hold
this
Chappell
in
great
estimation
.
You
cannot
see
the
citie
of
Ierusalem
from
Bethania
because
of
the
mount
of
Oliues
,
but
as
soon
as
you
ascend
a
little
hill
in
the
way
as
you
got
hence
to
Ierusalem
,
you
may
discerne
mount
Sion
and
a
part
of
the
city
:
then
when
you
are
discended
from
that
hill
,
the
citie
is
againe
hidden
.
After
that
vpon
the
left
side
of
the
mount
of
Oliues
,
some
stones
cast
from
Bethpage
,
you
doe
leaue
a
small
village
standing
vnder
the
mountaine
of
Offence
,
where
Solomon
in
times
past
committed
Idolatry
.
From
this
village
the
Asse
and
the
Colt
was
brought
vnto
Christ
.
Not
farre
from
thence
,
vpon
the
South
side
as
you
goe
vpon
the
Mount
of
Oliues
,
you
come
vnto
the
place
where
Christ
mounted
vpon
the
Asse
,
as
we
reade
,
Matth.
21.
And
a
little
after
you
may
see
the
whole
citie
of
Ierusalem
,
with
Solomons
Temple
,
and
the
Church
of
the
holy
sepulchre
,
with
many
other
holy
places
.
Then
as
you
descend
from
the
top
of
the
mount
of
Oliues
,
you
may
see
the
place
where
the
multitude
cryed
,
Hosanna
,
blessed
be
he
that
commeth
in
the
name
of
the
Lord
.
And
in
this
discent
also
our
Sauiour
Christ
wept
ouer
Ierusalem
,
saying
,
O
Ierusalem
,
Ierusalem
,
how
often
would
I
haue
gathered
thee
vnder
my
wings
as
a
Hen
gathereth
her
Chickens
,
but
thou
wouldest
not
?
Of
Bethpage
.
BEthpage
standeth
vpon
the
right
hand
of
the
way
towards
the
East
,
as
you
goe
from
Bethania
to
Ierusalem
;
and
as
S.
Ierom
saith
was
somtimes
a
habitation
of
the
Priests
,
which
at
their
appointed
times
went
vp
to
Ierusalem
to
minister
to
the
Lord
.
It
was
so
called
because
of
the
multitude
of
Figs
that
grow
there
:
for
Pagim

Of
the
Castle
from
whence
the
Asse
and
the
Colt
were
brought
vpon
which
our
Sauiour
rode
to
Ierusalem
.
THis
Castle
(
as
Adamus
Risnerus
saith
)
was
a
certaine
Hold
compassed
about
with
strong
walls
,
and
within
beautified
with
a
faire
pallace
,
supported
with
goodly
columnes
:
it
stood
not
farre
from
the
Mount
of
Oliues
,
just
in
the
deuiding
of
the
way
as
you
goe
from
Bethania
to
Ierusalem
;
for
there
goes
one
way
to
the
fountaine
gate
,
and
another
to
the
valley
of
Gehinnon
.
In
the
Hebrew
text
it
is
called
Tirah
,
as
you
may
reade
in
Matthew
,
which
signifies
not
onely
a
Castle
,
but
a
firme
and
sure
building
,
with
good
decorum
and
order
:
for
Tor
signifies
a
circular
order
.
It
is
credible
that
this
Hold
is
a
resting
place
,
and
that
the
Asse
and
the
colt
were
tied
in
the
way
,
for
this
cause
,
that
if
by
chance
any
trauellers
were
wearie
(
by
reason
of
the
tediousnesse
of
their
journey
)
they
might
hire
them
for
certain
houres
to
carrie
them
ouer
the
Mount
of
Oliues
,
and
so
returne
them
backe
againe
.
The
Allegoricall
meaning
of
this
Asse
and
the
Colt
,
according
to
the
opinion
of
many
learned
men
,
signifies
the
people
of
the
Iewes
,
who
were
burthened
with
Moses
lawes
:
and
the
Asses
Colt
signifies
the
rest
of
the
Gentiles
,
which
were
not
charged
with
the
burthen
of
Moses
law
,
but
tyed
onely
to
the
law
of
nature
.
So
we
also
like
trauellers
and
strangers
in
this
miserable
world
,
are
tyed
to
the
afflictions
and
calamities
thereof
,
standing
in
two
waies
,
expecting
the
death
of
the
body
,
and
libertie
of
the
soule
;
then
our
Sauior
Christ
commeth
in
peace
and
looseth
this
bond
of
death
,
(
as
the
Apostle
saith
,
Rom.
7.
)
and
bringeth
vs
to
that
heauenly
Ierusalem
,
eternall
joy
,
according
to
that
of
Saint
Paul
in
the
first
of
the
Philippians
,
I
desire
to
be
loosed
and
to
be
with
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
.
Of
the
Mount
of
Oliues
.
ABout
halfe
a
mile
and
a
furlong
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
East
,
stood
the
Mount
of
Oliues
,
very
fruitfull
and
pleasant
,
bringing
forth
Oliues
,
Palmes
,
Figs
,
Gossumpine
,
&
many
other
notable
fruits
,
but
principally
Palmes
and
Oliues
,
of
which
the
mountaine
taketh
the
name
.
It
is
said
in
Pliny
,
lib.
16.
cap.
19.
that
these
Oliue
and
Palme
trees
doe
neuer
lose
their
leaues
,
and
are
greene
both
Winter
and
Summer
.
Saint
Austine
calleth
it
,
The
mountaine
of
vnction
,
because
of
the
fertilitie
and
pleasantnesse
of
it
:
also
,
The
mountaine
of
health
,
because
it
bringeth
forth
Oyles
and
many
other
plants
necessarie
for
Physicke
:
also
,
The
mountain
of
light
;
first
,
because
it
lieth
vpon
the
East
,
so
that
the
Sun
shineth
in
the
morning
very
pleasantly
vpon
it
,
and
in
the
euening
when
it
setteth
,
the
beames
thereof
reflecting
vpon
the
Temple
of
Ierusalem
,
casteth
a
beautifull
light
to
this
Mount
:
secondly
,
because
it
bringeth
forth
Oyle
,
which
is
the
nourishment
and
life
of
light
:
thirdly
,
because
it
was
beautified
with
the
gratious
presence
of
our
blessed
Lord
and
Sauiour
Christ
,
which
is
the
Day-starre
and
light
of
the
Church
,
rising
vpon
high
to
enlighten
all
those
which
shall
be
called
vnto
eternall
happinesse
.
For
which
cause
it
typically
representeth
the
Church
,
which
is
the
light
of
the
World
,
wherein
are
found
many
Christians
that
bring
forth
pleasant
fruit
,
(
good
workes
)
relieuing
the
necessitie
of
such
as
are
in
want
,
comforting
the
afflicted
,
&
patiently
supporting
the
calamitie
and
misery
of
this
world
,
that
so
they
might
triumphantly
rejoyce
with
Christ
in
that
heauenly
citie
of
Ierusalem
.
What
things
Zacharias
hath
spoken
of
this
Mount
in
his
last
chapter
,
is
to
be
vnderstood
of
the
preaching
of
the
Gospell
,
and
propagation
of
the
Church
through
all
the
world
.
Saint
Ierom
saith
in
his
Epitaph
vpon
S.
Paul
,
That
vpon
this
hill
the
Iewes
commonly
burnt
the
red
Cow
,
with
the
ashes
whereof
the

Hellen
the
Empresse
,
mother
to
that
godly
Emperor
Constantine
the
Great
,
about
the
yeare
of
our
Lord
332
,
caused
a
faire
and
beautifull
church
to
be
built
vpon
this
Mount
,
just
in
the
place
where
our
blessed
Lord
and
Sauior
Christ
ascended
vp
into
heauen
.
It
was
built
round
,
all
of
white
polished
marble
:
vpon
the
top
therof
there
is
no
roofe
,
but
a
window
euen
as
Christ
should
ascend
through
it
,
as

saith
in

life
of
the
Emperour
Constantine

The
same
S.
Ierom
affirmeth
,
in
his
booke
de
locis
Hebraicis
.
He
also
saith
,
That
the
inhabitants
of
the
Holy
land
take
vpon
them
to
shew
in
this
Church
,
the
impression
of
the
feet
of
our
Sauiour
Christ
,
which
hapned
as
they
say
,
just
at
such
time
as
he
ascended
vp
into
heauen
:
out
of
which
,
trauellers
and
pilgrims
take
sand
to
carry
with
them
as
an
holy
relicke
,
though
indeed
it
is
verily
to
be
thought
,
that
they
were
feet
made
in
stone
by
antient
Monkes
,
thereby
to
get
mony
from
such
as
resorted
thither
vpon
deuotion
;
for
looke
how
oft
pilgrims
take
thence
the
sand
,
they
are
presenly
filled
againe
:
from
whence
may
bee
gathered
,
that
there
is
no
sand
naturally
there
.
Euery
man
therefore
ought
to
embrace
a
neerer
way
to
saluation
,
than
to
follow
those
monkish
fables
;
and
to
seeke
Christ
in
the
holy
Scripture
,
not
vpon
the
Mount
of
Oliues
,
or
amongst
sand
:
for
since
the
graue
could
not
containe
him
,
the
Mount
of
Oliues
cannot
hold
him
,
who
now
sitteth
at
the
right
hand
of
his
father
,
in
power
and
eternall
glory
:
but
rather
if
wee
be
desirous
to
see
the
footsteps
of
Christ
,
let
vs
seeke
them
in
the
Church
,
which
is
disperst
through
the
world
;
wherein
wee
are
sufficiently
taught
how
we
should
follow
him
.
The
Palme
is
a
famous
tree
which
bringeth
forth
Dates
;
and
is
so
called
because
vpon
the
top
the
boughes
are
thicke
and
round
,
extending
out
like
fingers
;
from
whence
it
is
called
Dactylus
,
that
is
,
a
finger
.
Of
Gethsamene
.
THis
was
a
village
scituated
at
the
foot
of
the
mount
of
Oliues
,
in
a
pleasant
and
fruitfull
place
.
Neere
vnto
this
village
,
as
Saint
Augustine
obserueth
there
were
many
pleasant
gardens
which
gaue
forth
very
sweet
and
delectable
sauors
;
vnto
which
place
Christ
and
his
Disciples
did
oftentimes
resort
,
as
the
Euangelist
Luke
cap.
22.
obserueth
.
It
was
so
called
from
the
pressing
forth
of
oyle
;
for
Gathor
Geth
,
signifies
,
a
Presse
,
and
Schaemen
,
Oyle
.
In
this
place
the
heart
of
our
Sauiour
Christ
was
so
prest
with
affliction
that
he
sweat
drops
of
bloud
:
By
which
bloud
the
sinnes
of
our
soules
are
washed
away
,
and
wee
that
are
wounded
are
made
whole
,
as
with
a
most
precious
balsome
,

Hellen
the
Empresse
,
in
an
Orchard
close
by
this
towne
,
set
vp
a
faire
and
beautifull
Church
,
ouer
the
sepulchre
of
the
Virgin
Mary
;
which
she
called
by
the
name
of
the
mother
of
God
,
Niceph.
lib.

It
is
said
that
this
sepulchre
remaineth
to
this
day
in
this
Church
,
made
of
white
polished
Marble
,
standing
about
eight
and
fortie
steps
vnder
ground
,
being
something
wider
than
the
sepulchre
of
Christ
:
in
it
there
is
two
doors
,
one
to
goe
in
,
another
to
goe
out
.
But
whither
this
be
the
right
sepulchre
of
the
blessed
Virgin
,
it
concerneth
vs
not
,
sith
it
appertaineth
not
to
our
saluation
,
neither
is
mentioned
in
the
holy
Scriptures
:
but
if
any
man
be
desirous
to
be
further
satisfied
in
it
,
let
him
reade
Nicephorus
,
who
makes
mention
of
that
and
her
ascension
,
both
in
my
opinion
of
like
credit
;
because
,
I
suppose
,
that
Saint
Luke
(
who
wrote
the
Acts
of
the
Apostles
,
and
liued
in
those
times
)
would
not
haue
omitted
so
memorable
an
action
.
But
to
returne
to
the
Garden
of
Gethsamene
.
About
some
fiftie
paces
towards
the
East
of
this
sepulchre
of
the
blessed
Virgin
,
close
by
the
foot
of
the
mount
of
Oliues
,
stands
a
certain
chappell
,
just
in
the
place
where
sometimes
the
towne
of
Gethsemane
stood
.
Not
far
from
this
chappell
is
showne
a
certaine
hollow
place
vnder
a
rocke
,
where
the
inhabitants
say
our
Sauiour
sweat
drops
of
bloud
.
They
also
shew
a
certaine
stone
whereon
the
Angels
stood
which
comforted
our
Sauiour
.
Discending
thence
about
a
stones
cast
,
they
shew
vnto
Pilgrims
a
place
close
by
the
caue
in
the
Mount
of
Oliues
,
where
Peter
,
Iames
,
and
Iohn
,
sate
when
our
Sauiour
was
in
his
agonie
.
They
also
shew
the
place
where
Peter
cut
off
Malchas
eare
.
There
is
to
be
seene
a
memorable
place
where
Iudas
betraied
our
Sauiour
with
a
kisse
,
when
he
deliuered
him
to
the
Iewes
.
Not
farre
off
is
to
be
seene
the
place
where
the
Iewes
fell
backeward
when
our
Sauiour
askt
them
,
Whom
seeke
yee
?
Besides
many
other
things
(
if
Borchardus
may
be
credited
)
as
the
impression
of
his
haire
and
head
vpon
a
stone
;
and
of
his
finger
,
as
if
it
had
beene
in
wax
,
vpon
a
rocke
:
and
in
the
place
where
he
prayed
,
of
his
hands
and
knees
,
which
are
so
firme
in
stone
that
they
cannot
be
defaced
with
any
instrument
.
But
there
haue
beene
many
in
this
place
since
these
times
,
which
haue
seene
none
of
these
things
:
from
whence
may
be
gathered
,
that
they
haue
been
idle
delusions
vsed
by
ancient
monkes
to
get
money
from
Pilgrims
and
strangers
;
and
I
haue
here
remembred
them
,
that
others
knowing
these
,
may
beware
of
the
like
fallacies
and
deceits
purposely
inuented
for
lucres
sake
.
This
garden
of
Gethsamene
is
credibly
thought
to
haue
been
planted
in
former
times
,
by
the
Kings
,
Dauid
and
Solomon
;
but
increased
&
inlarged
by
other
succeeding
Princes
,
that
there
they
might
recreate
themselues
,
&
receiue
some
content
by
the
fruits
of
the
earth
.
But
on
the
contrary
,
that
great
King
the
annointed
of
the
Lord
,
our
blessed
Sauiour
,
in
this
place
of
pleasure
,
this
paradise
of
the
Iewes
,
was
constrained
to
vndergoe
that
almost
vnsupportable
passion
,
to
make
vs
partakers
of
that
heauenly
paradise
and
place
of
pleasure
.
Not
far
from
hence
is
to
bee
seene
the
place
where
Iudas
hanged
himselfe
:
and
a
little
from
that
,
the
field
of
Akeldoma
,
which
was
bought
with
the
thirtie
Siluerlings
for
which
Iudas
betraied
Christ
.
This
field
(
by
the
appointment
of
the
Empresse
Hellen
)
was
compassed
about
with
foure
walls
,
in
the
maner
of
a
tower
:
vpon
the
top
whereof
there
are
seuen
distinct
doores
,
like
windowes
,
by
which
the
dead
bodies
of
Christians
are
let
downe
into
it
:
it
is
fiftie
foot
wide
,
and
seuentie
two
long
.
It
standeth
not
farre
from
the
valley
of
Hinnon
towards
the
East
,
and
vpon
the
South
side
of
Mount
Sion
in
Ierusalem
,
&c.
Of
Kidron
or
Cedron
.
THis
brooke
was
so
called
because
of
the
blacknesse
of
the
water
,
being
deriued
of
Kadar
,
To
wax
blacke
.
The
Mountaine
whence
it
first
riseth
,
stands
not
farre
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
South
;
from
whence
it
runneth
through
the
valley
of
Iehosaphat
(
which
vally
being
very
fat
and
fertile
,
changeth
the
colour
of
the
water
,
and
makes
it
looke
blacke
)
and
so
through
Ierusalem
;
then
passing
towards
the
East
ouer
a
cliffe
of
Mount
Oliuet
,
it
falleth
into
the
Lake
of
Asphaltites
.
When
there
falls
any
store
of
raine
the
channell
is
very
full
,
but
in
Summer
it
is
oftentimes
dry
with
the
extremitie
of
heat
.
Ouer
this
brooke
Dauid
passed
when
he
was
persecuted
by
his
sonne
Absolon
,
2
Sam.

and
our
Sauiour
Christ
when
he
dranke
of
the
Riuer
in
the
way
,
that
is
,
when
he
suffered
vpon
the
crosse
for
the
sinne
of
man
,
according
to
that
saying
of
the
Psalmist
,
Psal.
69.
Saue
me
,
O
God
,
because
the
waters
are
entred
euen
into
my
soule
.
Of
Mount
Caluarie
.
THis
Mountaine
,
according
to
the
common
opinion
,
was
so
called
of
dead
mens
skuls
,
or
the
skuls
of
such
who
were
put
to
death
for
some
capitall
offence
.
It
stood
vpon
the
West
side
of
Ierusalem
as
you
goe
out
of
the
ancient
Gate
,
and
is
a
part
of
Mount
Gihon
.
At
this
day
it
standeth
within
the
city
of
Ierusalem
together
with
the
sepulchre
of
our
Sauiour
:
and
vpon
it
is
built
a
faire
Church
,
which
is
joyned
vnto
the
Church
of
the
holy
Sepulchre
,
being
as
it
were
a
Quire
vnto
it
:
But
it
standeth
somewhat
lower
.
It
is
built
all
of
Marble
,
and
the
inside
is
all
polished
and
wrought
very
curiously
.
It
is
also
paued
with
the
same
stone
.
Within
it
,
is
seen
a
piece
of
the
pillar
of
stone
,
to
which
they
say
Christ
was
tyed
when
he
was
whipped
:
in
which
stone
are
to
be
seene
certaine
red
spects
,
as
if
they
had
been
drops
of
bloud
;
and
these
also
(
they
say
)
were
the
bloud
of
Christ
when
he
was
scourged
;
besides
many
other
things
,
of
which
you
may
reade
at
the

of
this

in
the

of
Ierusalem
as
it
is
at
this
day
.
The
Description
of
the
holy
Sepulchre
.
THe
Sepulchre
of
Christ
stood
vpon
the
West
side
of
Ierusalem
,
close
by
Mount
Golgatha
,
in
the
garden
of
Ioseph
of
Arimathea
:
for
it
was
the
custome
of
the
Iewes
to
build
their
tombs
or
sepulchres
,
in
their
Orchards
and
Gardens
;
and
beautifie
and
adorne
them
with
Lillies
,
Roses
and
other
floures
,
on
purpose
to
put
them
in
minde
of
their
mortalitie
,
according
to
that
of
Dauid
,
Psal.
103
,
The
daies
of
man
are
like
grasse
,
as
a
floure
of
the
field
so
flourisheth
he
:
for
the
winde
goeth
ouer
it
and
is
gone
,
and
the
place
thereof
shall
know
it
no
more
.
And
for
this
cause
the
Iewes
,
but
especially
the
kings
,
would
be
buried
in
their
gardens
:
so
Ioseph
,
a
good
and
just
man
,
following
this
custome
,
had
hewed
him
out
of
a
rocke
a
new
monument
,
in
which
there
had
been
no
man
laid
;
that
so
when
he
walked
into
the
Garden
to
take
the
aire
,
he
might
be
put
in
mind
of
his
mortalitie
.
In
this
monument
our
Sauiour
Christ
was
buried
:
And
from
this
place
vpon
the
third
day
early
in
the
morning
,
he
rose
;
to
the
terrour
and
astonishment
of
such
as
watched
the
sepulchre
.
From
whence
may
be
gathered
,
That
as
our
first
parents
,
Adam
and
Eue
,
trespassed
against
God
,
and
lost
felicitie
in
a
garden
;
so
Christ
the
Sonne
of
God
in
a
Garden
made
satisfaction
for
that
sinne
;
restored
vs
againe
to
grace
,
and
make
vs
capable
of
heauenly
felicitie
.
This
sepulchre
(
as
it
is
described
by
S.
Iohn
,
when
he
went
with
S.
Peter
,
to
see
of
that
notable
miracle
of
the
resurrection
were
true
)
was
like
a
little
chappel
,
the
doore
thereof
being
vpon
the
outside
,
&
was
but
one
roome
without
any
diuision
,
so
that
a
man
might
see
all
that
was
within
it
:
for
he
saith
,
Ioh.
20.
That
he
did
not
goe
in
,
but
lookt
in
,
and
saw
the
linnen
clothes
were
they
lay
wrapped
vp
:
from
whence
may
be
concluded
,
that
the
sepulchre
which
is
now
extant
(
howsoeuer
perhaps
it
may
stand
in
the
same
place
)
is
not
the
same
sepulchre
wherein
our
Sauiour
Christ
was
buried
:
for
it
is
described
to
be
four
square
,
to
be
open
at
the
top
,
to
haue
within
it
two
vaults
(
an
inward
and
an
outward
)
and
that
you
discend
to
it
by
staires
,
as
you
may
reade
at
the
beginning
of
this
treatise
;
which
description
doth
not
agree
with
that
of
S.
Iohns
.
Again
S.
Iohn
saith
,
that
they
rolled
a
great
stone
to
the
doore
of
the
sepulchre
,
did
not
lay
it
vpon
the
top
of
it
.
Also
Eusebius
and
Nicephorus
affirme
,
that
the
Pagans
and
other
heathen
people
filled
vp
the
Sepulchre
of
Christ
with
earth
,
and
built
vp
in
the
place
the
Temple
of
Venus
,
and
in
it
put
her
image
,
where
shee
was
worshipped
a
long
time
after
,
vntill
such
time
as
that
godly
Emperesse
Hellen
caused
that
Temple
to
be
abolished
,
and
the
sepulchre
clensed
and
purified
.
Afterwards
at
her
instigation
,
Constantine
the
Great
(
who
was
her
sonne
)
built
vp
in
the
very
same
place
a
faire
and
goodly
Church
in
memory
of
our
Sauiour
,
and
bestowed
great
cost
both
in
the
workemanship
,
and
in
beautifying
it
with
gold
and
siluer
.
This
Temple
(
as
it
was
before
it
was
destroied
by
the
Saracens
)
is
said
to
be
built
all
of
white
polished
marble
,
and
beautified
with
stones
of
diuers
colours
,
guilt
with
gold
and
siluer
,
couered
on
the
outside
with
lead
to
withstand
the
stormes
and
showers
of
raine
that
happened
;
but
the
inside
was
guilt
all
with
splendant
and
refulgent
gold
,
which
cast
a
wonderfull
lustre
vpon
the
beholders
.
On
either
side
of
it
were
two
walking
galleries
,
one
aboue
,
which
was
close
;
and
another
below
,
which
was
open
;
extending
themselues
the
length
of
the
sanctuarie
;
all
the
roofe
and
vault
being
couered
ouer
with
gold
and
artificiall
worke
:
the
one
being
supported
with
pillars
of
Marble
,
the
other
with
posts
of
wood
plaited
with
siluer
.
There
were
also
three
gates
towards
the
East
,
very
fitly
and
fairely
disposed
,
by
which
the
multitude
that
resorted
thither
,
go
in
&
out
:
within
these
,
there
stood
an
arch
,
representing
after
a
sort
the
Hemisphaere
of
the
Heauens
,
extended
to
the
top
of
the
sanctuary
like
a
circle
,
girded
about
with
twelue
pillars
of
equall
bignesse
,
representing
the
twelue
Apostles
,
and
vpon
the
top
of
this
arch
were
placed
cups
of
siluer
,
beautifully
burnished
.
All
which
the
said
Emperour
dedicated
to
God
for
a
monument
.
There
were
many
other
memorable
things
that
did
belong
to
this
Temple
,
which
were
admirable
to
looke
on
,
all
which
as
you
came
vp
the
high
street
from
the
market
place
,
were
presented
to
your
view
;
a
stately
sight
,
the
like
whereof
those
parts
did
not
affoord
.
This
temple
was
built
by
the
Emperor
Constantine
,
Anno
Dom.
333.
Venerable
Bead
;
who
was
a
Dr
of
Diuinity
,
and
liued
in
England
700
yeares
after
Christ
,
describeth
the
holy
sepulchre
after
this
manner
:
This
Sepulchre
ouer
head
was
something
round
,
&
so
high
that
a
man
could
scarce
touch
it
with
his
hand
;
standing
in
that
rocke
which
extendeth
it selfe
from
mount
Caluarie
into
the
Garden
of
Ioseph
of
Arimathea
:
representing
in
forme
,
a
little
chappell
;
the
entrance
thereinto
was
towards
the
East
.
And
further
hee
addeth
,
that
they
which
went
into
this
vaile
,
found
on
the
right
hand
towards
the
North
,
a
stone
tombe
which
resembled
a
coffin
,
scituated
in
the
pauement
,
joyning
to
the
wall
;
which
stone
coffin
was
of
a
mixt
colour
,
that
is
,
white
and
red
,
being
seuen
foot
long
,
and
three
handfulls
high
.
This
description
venerable
Bede
receiued
from
certaine
Monkes
,
that
went
vpon
deuotion
to
Ierusalem
to
visit
this
Sepulchre
:
but
since
,
it
hath
beene
diuers
times
destroied
and
polluted
by
the
Turkes
and
other
heathen
people
.
From
whence
may
be
gathered
,
that
the
Sepulchre
which
is
now
standing
and
shewed
vnto
Pilgrims
,
is
some
new
deuice
of
Monkes
to
get
money
of
strangers
,
and
procure
a
kind
of
blind
deuotion
in
the
hearts
of
ignorant
people
;
wherefore
as
the
Angell
said
,
Marke
16.
Let
vs
not
seeke
Christ
any
longer
amongst
the
dead
,
or
in
the
graue
,
but
in
his
holy
Church
,
where
the
liuely
pourtraiture
of
his
diuine
presence
is
set
forth
vnto
vs
:
that
so
we
may
be
made
partakers
with
him
hereafter
in
that
place
of
eternall
glorie
.
Concerning
the
residue
of
this
description
you
may
see
it
before
.
Of
Emmaus
.
THis
citie
or
castle
of
Emmaus
,
is
distant
from
Ierusalem
almost
eight
miles
towards
the
Northwest
.
It
signifies
the
mother
of
fortitude
;
being
deriued
of
Em
,
a
mother
;
and
Vtz
,
which
the
Hebrewes
call
Fortitude
.
It
stood
where
three
seuerall
waies
were
,
that
so
it
might
serue
for
a
direction
to
passengers
.
From
whence
Melancton
saith
that
it
was
a
notable
type
of
the
Church
,
which
is
our
true
mother
,
shewing
vs
the
way
vnto
eternall
life
.
And
although
it
be
but
little
,
and
the
number
in
it
few
,
yet
it
is
strong
.
As
the
castle
,
though
it
were
small
,
yet
it
is
almost
inuincible
;
and
for
that
cause
called
The
mother
of
strength
,
as
the
Church
is
called
The
mother
of
the
righteous
,
against
which
the
gates
of
hell
shall
not
be
able
to
preuaile
.
In
the
time
of
Iudas
Macchabeus
(
though
it
was
then
a
small
city
)
it
was
numbred
amongst
the
greatest
cities
of
Iuda
,
because
of
the
scituation
and
strength
of
it
.
To
this
place
our
Sauiour
trauelled
from
Ierusalem
the
same
day
that
hee
arose
from
the
dead
,
Luke
24.
In
the
time
of
the
Romans
warres
in
Iudaea
,
this
city
was
wonderfully
defaced
and
ruined
by
the
souldiers
of
Tiberius
Maximus
(
who
was
chiefe
Captaine
in
this
countrey
,
in
the
absence
of
Titus
Vespasian
,
)
but
yet
not
vtterly
abolished
;
for
about
a
hundred
and
fiftie
yeares
after
,
Heliogabolus
Emperour
of
Rome
caused
it
to
be
rebuilded
,
and
called
by
the
name
of
Nicopolis
,
that
is
,
the
citie
of
Victorie
.
Not
farre
from
Emmaus
there
was
an
Inne
,
or
a
place
to
which
strangers
might
resort
,
and
there
three
waies
met
;
two
went
of
either
side
the
towne
,
and
one
through
it
:
in
this
place
the
two
Disciples
constrained
our
blessed
Sauiour
to
stay
with
them
,
because
it
was
then
about
Sunne-set
.
Neere
vnto
this
Inne
Nicephorus
and
Zozemenus
say
(
in
their
Ecclesiasticall
Historie
)
there
was
a
Spring
or
Well
of
that
admirable
vertue
,
that
if
either
man
or
beast
that
was
infirme
or
sicke
did
drinke
of
the
water
thereof
,
they
were
immediately
restored
to
their
former
health
.
The
reason
that
these
Authors
haue
for
it
(
because
they
are
impertinent
)
I
willingly
omit
.
But
to
return
ro
the
city
of
Emmaus
,
as
it
is
now
called
Nicopolis
,
being
scituated
eight
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
Northeast
,
in
the
way
as
you
goe
thence
to
Ioppa
:
the
countrey
round
about
it
being
very
fertile
and
pleasant
,
by
reason
of
the
riuers
and
springs
wherewith
it
is
watered
,
as
Pliny
saith
,
l.
5.
c.
14.
and
much
altered
from
that
which
it
was
in
times
past
:
but
because
you
may
reade
more
of
this
city
in
Pliny
,
as
it
is
at
this
day
,
and
in
Nicephorus
and
Eusebius
,
I
leaue
to
speake
further
of
it
.
Of
Simon
of
Cyrene
.
THis
Simon
which
carried
the
Crosse
of
our
Sauiour
Christ
,
was
born
in
Kir
,
a
city
in
Africa
,
scituated
16
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
West
,
Matth.
27.
Luke
23.
In
which
city
Tiglath
Phulasser
Emperour
of
the
Assirians
planted
many
of
the
inhabitants
of
Damascus
,
after
he
had
conquered
that
city
,
2
Reg.
16.
This
citie
and
the
country
round
about
it
,
by
reason
of
these
new
inhabitants
,
by
little
and
little
changed
the
name
:
and
wheras
in
former
times
it
was
called
Kir
,
in
the
time
of
our
Sauiour
it
was
commonly
called
Cyrene
,
and
this
man
(
of
that
countrey
)
Simon
of
Cyrene
.
At
this
day
it
is
a
strong
and
beautifull
city
,
scituated
betweene
Mareotides
and
Zeugitania
:
at
first
built
by
Battus
,
whom
Callimachus
the
Poët
claimeth
to
be
his
progenitor
.
This
Battus
was
a
mighty
king
in
Africa
,
but
was
one
that
had
a
great
impediment
in
his
speech
,
insomuch
that
many
thinke
this
word
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
to
haue
beene
originally
vsed
by
him
,
and
by
none
other
.
Afterward
(
as
is
said
)
Tiglah
Phulasser
hauing
obtained
the
jurisdiction
of
this
citie
,
planted
the
people
of
Damascus
in
it
:
and
they
obtaining
some
power
there
,
continued
till
a
long
time
after
Christ
,
and
imbraced
the
religion
of
the
Iewes
,
built
vp
Synagogues
,
and
dispersed
that
law
in
many
parts
of
those
quarters
.
There
were
some
of
this
countrey
that
opposed
that
holy
Marter
Stephen
,
and
were
consenting
to
his
death
.
There
were
many
learned
men
in
it
,
as
Eratosthenes
the
Mathematician
,
Callimachus
the
Poët
(
both
which
were
had
in
great
estimation
among
the
Aegyptians
)
Carneades
also
the
Academian
,
Cronus
Apollonius
,
and
Hegesias
the
Philosopher
(
of
whom
Cicero
speaketh
in
the
fifth
book
of
his
Tusculans
)
and
Eratosthenes
the
Historian
,
who
was
sonne
of
Agaclis
.
Salust
saith
,
that
this
citie
in
his
time
was
so
mightie
,
that
it
maintained
war
against
the
Carthaginians
for
their
bounds
and
limits
of
their
fields
and
grounds
,
a
long
time
;
and
Iustine
lib.
39.
That
they
maintained
warre
against
two
nations
,
the
Phoenes
,
and
the
Aegyptians
:
in
which
warres
they
gaue
Aprius
,
the
King
of
the
Aegyptians
,
such
a
mighty
ouerthrow
,
that
there
were
very
few
of
his
army
that
returned
into
his
countrey
with
him
,
as
Horodot
affirmeth
,
lib.
4.
there
were
also
many
great
Princes
that
ruled
in
this
city
,
of
which
because
you
may
reade
in
diuers
other
Authors
more
at
large
,
I
omit
to
speake
of
them
.
Of
Ioseph
of
Arimathea
who
buried
Christ
.
THis
Ioseph
which
caused
our
Sauior
Christ
to
be
buried
in
his
garden
,
was
a
rich
man
,
vpright
&
just
in
all
his
actions
,
a
Senator
of
Ierusalem
,
and
one
that
expected
the
Kingdome
of
God
,
borne
at
Arimathea
a
citie
of
the
Iewes
,
Luc.
23.
This
citie
was
sometime
called
Ramathaim
Sophim
,
and
sometime
Ramah
,
because
it
was
scituated
in
a
high
place
,
and
in
times
past
was
a
fair
citie
standing
16
miles
from
Ierusalem
toward
the
Northwest
,
the
description
whereof
you
may
reade
before
.
At
this
day
it
is
called
Ramalea
;
being
nothing
so
farre
as
it
was
,
but
like
a
countrey
towne
,
the
houses
being
carelessely
dispersed
here
and
there
,
lying
without
walls
or
bulwarkes
to
defend
it
;
notwithstanding
,
the
ancient
ruins
of
the
former
city
is
to
be
seen
euen
at
this
day
.
There
is
also
a
great
Inne
or
resting
place
for
strangers
,
hauing
within
it
many
roomes
for
the
receit
of
passengers
,
and
a
well
of
very
sweet
water
.
This
house
was
first
purchased
at
the
charge
of
Philip
Duke
of
Burgondie
,
and
by
him
committed
to
the
protection
of
the
Monkes
of
Mount
Sion
,
by
whom
it
is
at
this
day
made
an
hospitall
,
wherein
pilgrims
,
trauellers
,
and

there
is
a

forth
great
aboundance
of
Aloes

of
which
there
is
often
mention
in
the
holy
Scriptures
,
but
more
especially
in
Psalme
48.
Thy

Myrrh
is
a
kind
of
gum
that
issueth
out
of
a
tree
that
growes
in
the
East
countries
,
but
principally
in
Arabia
:
the
tree
out
of
which
it
issueth
is
commonly
two
yards
and
a
halfe
high
,
with
some
pricks
vpon
it
,
the
barke
whereof
being
cut
,
there
issueth
out
of
it
drops
like
teares
,
which
congealeth
into
a
gum
,
and
is
called
Mirrh
:
the
principall
vertue
that
it
hath
,
is
to
keepe

In

there
is
such
abundance
of
sweet
Myrrhe

other
odoriferous
gums
,
that
such

the

There
is
also
found
in
the
holy
Land
Myrrhe
and
Aloes
.
Aloes
is
the
juyce
of
a
certaine
bitter
herbe
,
which
by
some
is
called
Euerliuing
:
it
killeth
the
wormes
,
and
preserueth
from
putrifaction
;
it
is
also
good
for
the
sight
.
There
is
to
be
gathered
in
India
,
Arabia
,
and
the
Holy
land
,
a
certaine
herbe
of
an
extraordinary
sweet
smell
,
with
leaues
broad
,
fat
and
juicie
,
which
being
prest
yeeldeth
more
Aloes
than
honey
;
from
whence
this
metaphoricall
prouerbe
is
vsed
,
Quod
plus
molestiae
quam

gignit
,
that
is
,
more
troublesome
than
profitable
.
You
may
reade
also
in
Plautus
,
that
the
life
of
man
tasteth
more
of
Aloes
than
honey
.
And
Iuvenal
speaking
of
an

saith
,
she
hath
more

Euery

So
also
the

seemeth

The
Trauels
of
Peter
.
IN
the
35
yeare
after
the
natiuitie
of
Christ
,
about
the
moneth
of
Ianuary
,
and
a
little
before
the
conuersion
of
the
Apostle
Paul
;
Peter
and
Iohn
were
sent
from
Ierusalem
to
Samaria
,
which
was
32
miles
,
that
the
Samaritans
might
receiue
that
admirable
gift
of
the
Holy-Ghost
,
and
there
they
disputed
with
Simon
Mag●●
,
Acts
8.
From
Samaria
they
returned
backe
again
to
Ierusalem
,
which
was
32
miles
.
In
this
journey
they
went
to
diuers
townes
of
the
Samaritans
,
teaching
and
preaching
vnto
them
the
doctrine
of
the
Gospell
,
Acts
8.
In
the
sixt
yere
after
the
resurrection
of
Christ
,
Peter
went
to
Lidda
,
which
was
distant
from
Ierusalem
twentie
miles
towards
the
Northeast
;
where
he
cured
Aeneas
,
who
had
lien
sicke
eight
yeares
of
the
Palsie
vpon
his
bed
,
Acts
9.
From
thence
hee
went
to
Ioppa
,
which
was
three
miles
:
here
he
raised
Tabitha
from
death
,
Acts
9.
In
the
seuenth
yeare
after
the
resurrection
of
Christ
,
Peter
went
from
Ioppa
and
came
to
Caesarea
Strato
,
which
was
six
and
thirtie
miles
:
where
hee
preached
the
Gospell
to
Cornelius
the
Centurion
,
and
baptised
him
and
his
whole
familie
,

From
Caesarea
he
returned
to
Ierusalem
,
which
was
32
miles
;
where
being
accused
for
going
to
the
Gentiles
,
hee
excused
himselfe
,
Acts
11.
In
the
eleuenth
yeare
after
the
resurrection
of
Christ
,
hee
was
cast
into
prison
,
and
set
at
libertie
by
an
Angell
of
God
,
Acts
12.
So
he
went
secretly
from
Ierusalem
(
as
it
was
thought
)
into
the
desart
,
or
to
some
other
vnknowne
place
:
vpon
the
second
day
of
August
in
the
same
yeare
,
Herod
Agrippa
King
of
the
Iewes
was
strucke
by
an
Angell
of
God
at

and
he
was

After
,
Herod
Agrippa
being
dead
and
buried
,
Peter
returned
to
Ierusalem
,
where
hee
was
in
Councell
with
the
rest
of
the
Apostles
,
about
sixteene
yeares
after
the
resurrection
of
Christ
,
and
fourteene
after
the
conuersion
of
Paul
,
Gal.

also

vpon

In
the
seuenteenth
yeare
after
the
resurrection
of
Christ
,
Peter
went
from
Ierusalem
and
came
to
Antiochia
in
Syria
,
which
journey
was
280
miles
:
there
Paul
resisted
him
,
Gal.
2.
From
Antiochia
hee
went
to
Babylon
in
Aegypt
,
where
hee
wrote
his
first
Epistle
:
this
journey
was
520
miles
.
So
all
his
Trauels
which
are
mentioned
in
the
Scripture
were
955
miles
.
Allegations
of
the
Author
to
proue
that
Peter
was
neuer
at
Rome
.
BVt
that
Peter
was
twenty
fiue
yeares
seuen
moneths
and
fiue
daies
Bishop
and
chiefe
Priest
at
Rome
,
cannot
be
proued
by
the
testimony
of
the
Scripture
,
and
is
vtterly
repugnant
to
the
supputation
and
true
accompt
of
the
times
.
First
,
because
it
is
manifest
by
that
which
hath
beene
said
,
that
he
continued
at
Ierusalem
and
in
Iudaea
during
the
time
that
Tiberius
,
Caligula
,
and
Claudius
were
Emperours
of
Rome
.
And
shortly
after
the
martyrdome
of
Steuen
,
hee
and
Iohn
were
sent
into
Samaria
,
that
the
Samaritans
might
also
receiue
the
gift
of
the
holy
Ghost
,
Act.

Paul
also
in
the
third
yere
after
his
conuersion
,
came
to
Ierusalem
,
and
there
spoke
with
Peter
,
and
remained
with
him
fifteene
daies
,
Act.

Gal.

Fourteene
daies
after
the
conuersion
of
Paul
,
Peter
was
at
the
Apostolicall
councell
held
in
Ierusalem
;
and
there
,
with
Iames
and
Iohn
gaue
the
right
hand
of
fellowship
to
Paul
and
Barnabas
,
that
they
should
goe
and
preach
the
Gospell
vnto
the
Gentiles
;
and
that
hee
and
the
rest
would
goe
vnto
the
Iewes
&
those
that
were
circumcised
,
Gal.
2.
In
the
time
of
Claudius
Caesar
,
Peter
was
committed
to
prison
by
Herod
Agrippa
in
Ierusalem
,
and
miraculously
deliuered
by
the
Angell
of
God
,
Act.
10.
In
the
ninth
yeare
of
Claudius
Caesar
,
Peter
was
at
Antiochia
in
Syria
,
where
Paul
resisted
him
to
his
face
,
Gal.
2.
All
these
things
manifestly
proue
that
the
Apostle
Peter
was
not
at
Rome
at
such
time
as
any
of
these
three
,
viz.
Tiberius
,
Caligula
and
Claudius
were
Emperors
;
but
either
in
Ierusalem
,
or
else
at
Antiochla
in
Syria
.
Secondly
,
it
may
axactly
bee
made
euident
out
of
the
holy
,
Scriptures
,
that
Peter
was
not
at
Rome
in
the
time
of
Nero.
For
in
the
second
yeare
of
Nero
,
Paul
wrote
his
Epistle
to
the
Romans
,
and
sent
it
from
Corinth
by
the
hand
of
Phebe
:
in
which
Epistle
he
saluted
all
his
friends
which
he
had
in
that
citie
,
by
name
,
as
by
the
conclusion
of
the
Epistle
more
plainely
appeareth
;
but
there
is
no
mention
of
the
Apostle
Peter
,
who
(
if
that
at
time
Bishop
of
that
place
)
surely
should
not
haue
bin
omitted
.
Also
in
the
fift
yeare
of
Nero
,
Paul
being
then
in
prison
at
Rome
,
wrot
his
Epistles
to
the
Galatians
,
Ephesians
,
Philippians
,
Colossians
,
and
to
Philemon
;
and
in
the
conclusion
of
these
Epistles
he
expressely
nameth
all
his
friends
that
he
had
in
Rome
,
yet
makes
no
mention
of
Peter
.
And
when
he
was
the
second
time
in
prison
vnder
Nero
,
in
the
last
yeare
of
the
reigne
of
this
Emperour
,
hee
wrot
from
Rome
his
second
Epistle
to
Timothy
,
beeing
a
little
before
his
death
,
at
the
end
of
which
Epistle
he
plainly
shewes
that
he
had
no
companion
there
but
Luke
,
2
Tim.
4.
From
whence
it
is
manifest
,
that
Peter
during
all
the
pilgrimage
and
life
of
Paul
,
was
neuer
at
Rome
:
how
then
can
it
possible
be
,
that
Peter
should
be
bishop
of
Rome
for
the
space
of
almost
26
yeares
?
Truly
there
are
many
learned
men
,
and
they
also
of
great
iudgement
,
which
hold
this
opinion
false
,
and
vtterly
repugnant
to
holy
Scripture
,
neither
can
be
proued
by
any
good
Authors
or
histories
.
But
if
Peter
were
euer
at
Rome
,
hee
came
thither
after
the
last
imprisonment
of
Paul
,
and
a
few
daies
before
his
martyrdom
.
Because

as
Onuphrius
saith
,

)
Peter
and
Paul
in
the
35
yeare
after
the
resurrection
of
Christ
,
and
vpon
the
third
day
of
the
Calends
of
Iuly
(
C.
Fonteius
Capitonius
&
C.
Iulius
Rufus
being
then
Consuls
of
Rome
)
were
crowned
with
the
Wreath
of
martyrdome
,
and
with
their
bloud
sealed
the
truth
of
the
Gospel
.
But
there
are
others
of
opinion
that
Peter
neuer
came
at
Rome
,
but
that
he
was
crucified
at
Ierusalem
by
King
Agrippa's
command
;
others
say
at
Babylon
.
But
because
it
is
a
thing
doubtfull
,
and
not
greatly
materiall
,
I
leaue
it
to
the
Readers
consideration
.
¶
Of
the
Townes
and
places
to

he
trauelled
.
Of
Samaria
.
BEcause
I
haue
before
briefly
intreated
of
the
beginning
and
foundation
of
this
city
,
I
shal
not
need
here
againe
to
repeat
it
.
I
will
now
therefore
shew
the
end
of
it
,
which
was
principally
caused
by
the
obstinacie
of
the
inhabitants
:
who
refusing
the
doctrine
and
prophecy
of
Elias
and
Elizeus
,
imbraced
and
followed
strange
gods
,
and
offered
incense
vnto
idols
;
whereby
the
wrath
of
God
was
kindled
against
them
,
insomuch
that
hee
left
this
goodly
city
as
a
prey
to
the
Gentiles
and
forreine
nations
,
that
carried
the
people
thereof
into
captiuitie
,
where
for
a
long
time
they
remained
in
great
miserie
.
After
the
first
desolation
,
because
the
countrey
round
about
this
citie
was
very
fertile
and
pleasant
,
abounding
with
springs
,
riuers
,
vines
,
oliue
gardens
,
mountaines
,
fruitfull
valleyes
,
faire
cities
,
and
strong
castles
and
townes
;
Herod
Ascalonites
(
that
great
King
of
the
Iewes
,
who
put
to
death
the
innocent
children
)
reedified
it
,
set
vp
many
goodly
buildings
beautified
with
marble
pillars
and
pleasant
walkes
:
and
also
in
the
circuit
of
the
Kings
house
,
and
vnder
the
buildings
of
the
nobilitie
in
the
common
Market
place
,
the
houses
and
vaults
were
supported
with
marble
pillars
,
according
to
the
maner
of
the
Iewes
.
The
pallace
(
callled
the
K.
house
,
stood
in
the
midst
of
the
citie
,
vpon
the
top
of
the
mountain
:
and
round
about
it
there
were
diuers
other
buildings
set
vp
,
but
much
lower
,
euen
about
the
descent
of
the
mountaine
;
yet
so
scituated
,
that
the
inhabitants
might
see
out
of
their
houses
the
country
round
about
.
Then
close
to
the
pallace
in
the
vpper
part
of
the
citie
,
he
caused
a
temple
to
be
built
in
honor
of
Augustus
.
Thus
hauing
finished
the
inside
,
he
compast
it
about
with
a
mighty
wall
,
and
vpon
that
placed
many
turrets
:
&
then
to
flatter
Augustus
,
called
it
by
the
name
of
Sebasten
,
which
among
the
Grecians
signifies
Augustum
&
venerabile
principem
:
now
although
this
citie
was
very
glorious
and
spatious
in
those
times
(
for
it
was
three
miles
about
)
yet
at
this
day
it
is
vtterly
ruined
&
destroied
,
insomuch
,
that
there
is
not
a
house
standing
,
two
Churches
only
excepted
,
which
were
built
in
honour
of
S.
Iohn
Baptist
:
and
the
chief
of
these
,
which
was
the
Cathedrall
Church
,
the
Saracens
haue
conuerted
to
their
vse
,
so
that
at
this
day
Mahomet
is
worshipt
in
it
.
In
this
stood
the
Sepulchre
of
S.
Iohn
Baptist
,
cut
out
in
marble
,
like
the
sepulchre
of
Christ
,
where
(
as
Hierom
saith
)
he
lieth
buried
between
Elisha
&
Obediah
the
Prophets
.
This
church
stands
vpon
the
side
of
the
mountaine
,
in
the
descent
.
The
Saracens
do
principally
reuerence
S.
Iohn
Baptist
next
after
Christ
,
and
they
affirm
the
virgin
Mary
to
haue
conceiued
by
the
holy
Spirit
,
and
not
by
the
seed
of
man
:
That
S.
Iohn
was
the
greatest
prophet
(
except
Christ
)
that
euer
was
.
They
also
beleeue
Christ
to
be
the
son
of
God
,
but
not
to
be
equall
with
God
.
Yet
they
prefer
Mahomet
before
both
,
because
they
hold
him
a
messenger
sent
of
God
,
not
vnto
all
men
,
but
onely
vnto
the
Saracens
and
Turks
,
and
their
subiects
.
The
other
Church
which
stood
in
Samaria
,
was
vpon
the
top
of
the
mountain
which
somtimes
the
Kings
palace
stood
.
In
this
Church
in
times
past
there
dwelt
certain
Grecian
Monks
,
which
were
Christians
,
and
entertained
Christian
Pilgrims
with
great
humanitie
,
and
furnished
them
with
many
necessaries
.
But
the
city
of
Samaria
it selfe
hath
bin
so
often
ouerthrown
,
and
brought
to
such
extreme
miserie
,
that
almost
all
the
ground
where
it
stood
is
at
this
time
conuerted
into
an
Olive
garden
.
So
that
as
that
wicked
King
Ahab
turned
the
Vineyard
of
Naboth
which
stood
close
by
his
house
,
into
an
olive
garden
;
so
God
in
his
singular
justice
hath
turned
the
palace
of
that
King
,
&
the
whole
city
wherein
he
dwelt
,
which
was
the
strength
of
his
kingdome
,
into
an
olive
garden
.
There
are
not
so
many
ruins
found
through
all
the
land
of
Iudaea
(
though
there
haue
bin
many
worthy
cities
destroyed
)
as
are
in
this
place
at
this
day
.
The
scituation
of
this
city
was
very
beautifull
,
for
a
man
might
haue
seen
from
it
to
the
sea
of
Ioppa
and
Antipatris
;
also
to
Caesarea
Palestina
,
&
thorow
al
the
mountain
of
Ephraim
,
to
Ramatha
Sophim
,
&
so
to
mount
Carmel
and
the
city
of
Ptolomais
.
Of
Lidda
.
THis
city
was
scituated
not
far
from
Ioppa
,
vpon
the
shore
of
the
Mediterranian
sea
,
20
miles
from
Ierusalem
Northwestward
.
In
this
city
Peter
healed
Aeneas
,
who
had
bin
sick
8
years
of
the
palsie
.
At
this
day
there
is
nothing
to
be
seen
but
the
Church
of
S.
George
,
who
was
beheaded
by
the
Emperour
Dioclesian
,
for
professing
the
Christian
faith
.
The
Grecians
call
this
town
Diospolis
,
i.
an
holy
Town
.
And
the
Turks
account
S.
George
for
a
valiant
Knight
and
holy
man
.
Of
Caesarea
Strato
.
THis
city
was
scituated
vpon
the
shore
of
the
Mediterranian
sea
,
some
32
miles
from
Ierusalem
Northward
:
in
antient
time
it
was
called
Strato
,
being
first
built
by
Strato
King
of
Sydon
.
But
time
hauing
decayed
a
great
part
of
it
,
Herod
Ascalonita
repaired
it
,
and
made
it
a
goodly
thing
,
calling
it
Caesarea
,
after
the
name
of
Augustus
Caesar
.
And
that
ships
might
lie
at
anchor
there
without
danger
,
he
caused
to
be
builded
a
fair
hauen
to
oppose
the
violence
of
the
sea
.
This
hauen
was
so
wonderfully
contriued
,
and
set
vp
at
such
a
great
charge
,
that
it
was
admirable
to
looke
vpon
;
for
he
laid
the
foundation
of
it
twenty
yards
vnder
water
,
burying
in
the
Deepe
stones
of
an
extraordinarie
greatnesse
,
some
fifty
foot
long
,
eight
foot
thicke
,
and
ten
foot
broad
,
and
many
of
them
more
.
The
Hauen
it selfe
was
beautified
with
faire
buildings
and
goodly
Walkes
,
supported
with
marble
Pillars
,
and
mounted
vp
aloft
,
so
that
you
might
see
the
ships
as
they
were
vpon
the
sea
,
and
made
way
to
this
harbor
.
The
entrance
into
it
was
vpon
the
North
,
at
the
mouth
thereof
there
stood
three
mighty
Colosses
vpon
marble
pillars
.
Hee
also
placed
vpon
the
wall
of
the
City
towards
the
Hauen
mighty
Towers
,
the
chiefest
and
fairest
of
which
he
dedicated
to
Drusus
,
Augustus
his
son
in
law
,
and
called
it
by
the
name
of
the
Drusian
tower
.
The
buildings
that
ioyned
to
this
Hauen
were
all
of
white
polished
marble
,
and
the
streets
of
the
City
were
directly
towards
it
.
Also
the
Market-place
where
they
bought
and
sold
was
not
farre
from
it
.
Vpon
a
little
hill
close
by
this
Port
he
caused
a
Church
to
be
built
in
honour
of
Augustus
Caesar
.
This
Temple
was
a
very
magnificent
and
stately
building
,
and
in
it
hee
caused
the
Statue
of
Augustus
(
curiously
wrought
and
cast
iust
in
the
figure
of
Iupiter
Olympius
)
to
be
erected
,
and
worshipped
it
as
his
god
.
There
are
many
other
stately
and
sumptuous
buildings
that
were
set
vp
by
this
King
.
But
amongst
the
rest
,
he
bestowed
great
cost
vpon
the
market
place
,
the
Theatre
,
and
the
Amphitheatre
,
which
hee
wonderfully
beautified
,
and
instituted
certaine
Games
to
be
there
vsed
once
euery
fifth
yeare
in
honour
of
Augustus
,
as

After
the
death
of
this
king
,
Herod
Agrippa
was
made
King
of
the
Iewes
.
This
Prince
some
ten
yeares
after
the
resurrection
of
Christ
caused
Iames
the
son
of
Zebedeus
vpon
the
25
day
of
Iuly
to
be
put
to
death
in
Ierusalem
;
and
when
he
perceiued
it
was
acceptable
vnto
the
Iews
,
in
the
following
yeare
about
the
feast
of
the
Passeouer
hee
caused
Peter
to
be
cast
into
prison
;
who
by
the
prayers
of
the
Church
was
miraculously
deliuered
,
as
you
may
reade
Acts
12.
A
little
after
,
that
is
,
about
the
moneth
of
August
,
this
King
was
strook
by
the
Angel
of
the
Lord
,
and
died
miserably
:
for
when
he
came
to
Caesarea
Strato
he
caused
the
publique
shewes
to
be
solemnly
practised
,
and
in
honor
of
Claudius
Caesar
set
forth
very
sumptuous
interludes
and
playes
;
to
which
feast
and
shewes
all
the
Nobility
and
Gentry
of
that
countrey
round
about
resorted
.
Where
the
next
day
very
early
in
the
morning
,
hauing
put
on
a
rich
and
goodly
garment
made
all
of
cloath
of
gold
,
he
went
into
the
theatre
,
and
there
according
to
his
vsuall
custome
sate
in
a
princely
seat
,
and
made
an
oration
to
the
inhabitants
of
Tyre
.
Now
when
the
sunne
was
vp
and
shone
vpon
his
garments
,
the
raies
thereof
cast
such
a
reflection
vpon
the
beholders
,
that
it
dazled
their
eies
,
insomuch
that
they
could
scarce
see
.
Wherefore
those
that
were
his
flatterers
,
hearing
his
gratious
speech
,
cried
with
a
loud
voice
,
O
Agrippa
be
propitious
vnto
vs
;
for
although
heretofore
we
feared
thee
as
a
man
,
yet
now
we
well
perceiue
thou
art
of
a
more
noble
and
Diuine
nature
.
But
when
the
King
(
taking
delight
in
these
speeches
)
would
not
restrain
the
impious
clamour
of
these
flatterers
,
a
little
after
he
lifted
vp
his
head
,
and
vpon
the
top
of
a
pillar
he
saw
an
Owle
sitting
ouer
him
.
Presently
he
was
troubled
in
his
minde
,
and
within
a
while
after
hee
was
strooke
with
an
extreme
paine
in
his
bowels
,
insomuch
that
with
a
loud
voice
he
cried
out
vnto
his
friends
,
I
whom
but
now
was
called
your
god
,
am
but
a
man
;
and
him
that
you
imagined
to
be
immortall
,
must
presently
die
.
These
words
being
ended
,
they
caried
him
sick
into
his
palace
,
and
it
was
giuen
out
that
he
was
dead
.
No
sooner
came
this
newes
to
the
eares
of
the
vulgar
,
but
they
with
their
wiues
and
children
put
on
sack-cloath
,
and
fell
vpon
the
ground
with
earnest
supplications
to
God
to
bee
mercifull
vnto
him
.
But
the
King
looking
out
of
his
window
and
seeing
them
lie
thus
prostrate
vpon
the
earth
,
wailing
and
weeping
,
he
could
not
abstain
from
teares
.
At
the
length
after
he
had
beene
cruelly
tormented
by
the
space
of
foure
dayes
,
vpon
the
fift
dyed
,
beeing
the
second
of
August
,
the
wormes
hauing
consumed
his
guts
,
and
eaten
through
his
body
.
Thus
God
grieuously
punished
him
,
who
had
so
much
afflicted
the
members
of
the
Church
of
Christ
:
but
towards
other
men
,
as
well
strangers
as
Gentiles
,
hee
was
milde
and
courteous
.
He
raigned
in
the
whole
almost
seuen
yeares
;
for
he
held
the
Tetrarchy
of
Philip
three
yeares
vnder
Caligula
,
and
other
foure
yeares
he
held
the
whole
kingdome
of
the
Iewes
.
He
died
in
the
eleuenth
yeare
after
the
resurrection
,
and
in
the
third
of
Claudius
Caesar
,
being
then
about
54
yeres
of
age
,

Ioseph

Plinie
saith
that
this
towne
of
Caesaria
Strato
,
was
sometime
called
Apollonia
,
but
after
obtained
the
name
of
Caesarea
Palestina
.
Saint
Ierome
saith
in
his
Epitaph
vpon
Paul
,
that
in
his
time
(
which
was
400
yeares
after
Christ
)
there
was
to
be
seene
in
this
place
the
house
of
Cornelius
the
Centurion
,
whom
Peter
baptized
,
Act.
10.
(
This
Cornelius
is
thought
by
some
to
haue
been
of
the
family
of
the
Lentuli
in
Rome
,
for
they
were
also
called
Cornelij
,
as
appeareth
in
Salust
in
the
conspiracy
of
Cataline
:
&
it
may
be
that
this
Cornelius
was
that
Lentulus
which
wrot
to
Tiberius
Caesar
that
excellent
Epistle
,
concerning
the
figure
,
proportion
,
and
person
of
our
Lord
and
Sauior
Iesus
Christ
.
)
Also
the
house
of
Philip
the
deacon
,
and
the
chambers
of
his
foure
daughters
who
were
Prophetesses
.
When
Paul
came
vnto
this
towne
,
Agabus
the
Prophet
came
vnto
him
,
who
bound
his
hands
and
feet
with
the
girdle
of
Paul
,
saying
,
The
man
that
oweth
this
girdle
shal
be
thus
bound
by
the
Iewes
at
Ierusalem
,
and
they
shall
deliuer
him
into
the
hands
of
the
Gentiles
.
Here
he
made
a
notable
sermon
before
Festus
,
Agrippa
Iunior
,
and
his
sister
Bernice
,
Act.
16.
This
towne
flourished
for
a
long
time
after
the
destruction
of
Ierusalem
,
and
it
was
scituated
in
a
faire
and
profitable
place
,
fortified
towards
the
West
with
the
Mediterranean
sea
,
and
towards
the
East
it
was
compassed
about
with
a
lake
,
in
which
were
great
aboundance
of
Crocodiles
,
though
the
water
was
very
sweet
,
and
of
a
great
depth
.
Many
godly
and
religious
men
were
here
crowned
with
the
wreath
of
martyrdome
,
for
professing
the
Gospel
of
Christ
,
as
Eusebius
Bishop
of
this
town
and
of
Pamphilius
well
obserueth
in
his
Eccles.
Hist
.
But
the
Lord
did
so
sharply
reuenge
the
death
of
these
men
,
that
at
this
day
it
is
vtterly
destroied
,
and
there
is
not
a
house
left
,
though
in
times
past
it
had
been
a
Bishops
See
.
There
was
also
another
town
built
by
Philip
the
Tetrarch
,
called
Caesarea
Philippi
,
whereof
you
may
reade
before
.
Of
Ioppa
.
COncerning
this
towne
I
haue
already
shewed
many
things
in
the
Trauels
of
Ionas
,
but
omitted
some
,
specified
by
Brittenbach
and
Dr
Ranwolfe
,
who
haue
described
the
holy
land
as
it
was
in
the
yeare
of
our
Lord
1575.
which
Authors
affirme
that
there
is
seen
a
great
chain
of
iron
fastned
to
a
certain
rock
,
to
the
which
ships
that
lay
in
that
harbor
were
somtimes
tied
.
Also
the
chain
wherewith
Andromeda
was
fast
bound
to
a
stone
,
when
she
should
haue
bin
deuoured
of
the
sea
monster
.
Also
they
say
that
there
is
a
Chappell
at
this
day
built
vp
in
the
place
where
sometime
the
house
of
Simon
the
Tanner
stood
,
who
gaue
entertainment
to
Peter
,
standing
by
a
rock
close
by
the
sea
side
,
and
dedicated
to
saint
Peter
.
But
for
the
rest
of
the
town
(
although
formerly
it
hath
bin
a
goodly
city
)
it
is
vtterly
destroied
,
nothing
standing
but
a
part
of
the
wall
,
&
two
castles
vpon
the
hauen
to
defend
such
as
come
thither
with
ships
,
from
the
injuries
&
incursions
of
Pagans
and
Saracens
.
Of
Babylon
in
Egypt
.
BAbylon
signifieth
Confusion
,
as
you
may
read
before
.
There
were
two
Cities
of
this
name
;
the
one
was
in
Chaldaea
,
and
the
other
in
Aegypt
.
That
in
Chaldaea
was
scituated
vpon
the
riuer
Euphrates
;
and
this
vpon
the
riuer
Nilus
,
which
was
244
miles
from
Ierusalem
toward
the
Southwest
,
&
called
in
the
Arabian
tongue
Alcair
,
or
Cair
,
whether
you
please
,
which
also
signifieth
Confusion
.
Concerning
both
which
cities
you
may
reade
more
at
large
in
their
former
description
.
From
this
towne
it
is
credibly
thought
(
and
not
from
that
towne
which
stood
in
Chaldaea
)
Peter
wrot
his
first
Epistle
,
as
the
circumstances
of
the
historie
doe
euidently
declare
:
for
that
Babylon
which
stood
in
Chaldea
was
in
the
time
of
Peter
vtterly
destroyed
;
but
then
this
Babylon
was
had
in
great
estimation
.
About
this
time
also
Mark
who
was
the
disciple
of
Peter
,
was
the
first
Bishop
of
Alexandria
,
as
you
may
reade
in
the
end
of
his
first
Epistle
.
Wherefore
that
opinion
which
some
would
haue
to
passe
for
truth
,
that
Peter
wrot
his
first
Epistle
from
Rome
,
calling
it
allegorically
Babylon
,
is
vtterly
to
be
condemned
,
since
there
is
none
who
can
certainely
proue
that
conjecture
,
neither
is
it
grounded
vpon
any
firm
foundation
;
for
although
Babylon
in
the
Reuelation
of
S.
Iohn
(
because
it
was
a
secret
prophecie
)
was
allegorically
vsed
;
yet
in
a
plaine
and
manifest
historie
such
kinde
of
Allegories
are
not
allowed
.
From
whence
may
be
concluded
,
that
S.
Peter
wrot
his
first
Epistle
from
this
Babylon
,
not
from
Rome
.

Iohn

Annotation

the
Times

he
liued

IOhn

was
made
his
Disciple
when

He
saw
the
miracle
of
Christ
when
hee
changed

into

In
the
yeare
following
,
viz.
in
the
22
yeare
of
his
age
,
hee
was
taken
into
the
number
of
the
twelue
Apostles
,

After
that
,
in
the
three
and
twentieth
yeare
of
his
age
he
saw
the
transfiguration
of
Christ
in
mount
Thabor
:
and
when
hee
was
foure
and
twenty
yeares
of
age
he
stood
vnder
the
Crosse
of
our
Sauiour
Christ
;
and
the
same
yere
a
little
after
Christs
Ascention
,
he
with
the
rest
of
the
Apostles
receiued
the
gift
of
the
holy-Ghost
,
being
then
the
feast
of
Penticost
,
which
fell
about
the
foure
and
twentieth
day
of
May
in
the
same
yere
he
was
cast
into
prison
with
Peter
,
for
healing
the
lame
man
,
Acts
3.4
.
Thus
much
of
his
youth
.
About
the
middle
of
the
first
yeare
after
our
Sauiour
Christs
ascention
(
Iohn
being
then
25
years
old
)
was
sent
with
Peter
from
the
city
of
Ierusalem
to
Samaria
,
32
miles
.
From
Samaria
he
returned
back
again
to
Ierusalem
,
32
miles
,
and
as
he
returned
preached
the
gospel
of
Christ
in
diuers
towns
of
the
Samaritans
,
Acts

Mary
the
mother
of
our
Lord
being
now
59
yeares
of
age
,
died
in
the
twelfth
yere
after
the
resurrection
of
Christ
,
and
was
buried
by
Iohn
the
Evangelist
in
the
garden
of
Gethsemene
,
Iohn
beeing
then
35
yeares
old
.
Foure
yeares
after
her
death
hee
was
present
at
the
Apostolical
Councel
in
Ierusalem
.
Now
Iames
his
brother
,
who
was
called
the
Elder
,
was
beheaded
two
yeares
before
;
for
this
Councel
was
celebrated
in

The
description
of
the
townes
and
places
to
which
Iohn
trauelled
.
Of
Ephesus
.
THis
was
the
metropolitan
city
of
Ionia
,
scituated
in
Asia
minor
,
544
miles
from
Ierusalem
Northwestward
.
It
was
built
(
saith
Strabo
)
by
Androclus
the
son
of
Codrus
king
of
Athens
,
in
the
time
of
Dauid
King
of
Israel
,
and
because
of
the
beautifull
scituation
and
fertilitie
of
the
soile
called
Ephesus
:
in
future
Ages
growing
into
such
credit
and
estimation
,
that
it
was
mightily
encreased
,
and
became
one
of
the
most
famous
mart
townes
in
all
Asia
;
but
it
stood
somewhat
low
,
so
that
the
sea
brake
in
vpon
it
and
drowned
it
,
and
many
of
the
inhabitants
perished
.
Neuerthelesse
Lysimachus
K.
of
Thrace
built
it
vp
again
in
the
place
where
now
it
stands
,
and
called
it
Arsinoës
,
after
his
wiues
name
.
But
he
being
dead
,
it
was
againe
called
by
the
antient
name
Ephesus
.
There
were
many
worthy
men
that
liued
in
it
,
as
Heraclitus
,
Scotinus
,
and
Hermadorus
,
who
for
his
excellent
vnderstanding
&
singular
honestie
was
banished
.
Hipponachus
also
the
Poet
,
Perrhasius
&
Apelles
the
Painters
,
Alexander
the
orator
,
and
Theodotio
a
Iew
,
who
interpreted
the
Bible
.
It
was
in
antient
times
inhabited
by
the
Amazons
,
whose
queen
kept
her
court
there
,
and
wonderfully
increased
and
adorned
it
with
faire
and
beautifull
buildings
.
Here
also
that
notable
Temple
dedicated
to
Diana
,
which
as
Stra.
saith
li.
14.
Plin.
li.
36.
ca.
14.
was
220
yeares
a
building
.
It
stood
vpon
moorish
ground
to
auoid
the
danger
of
earthquakes
.
There
were
in
it
127
pillars
,
erected
by
so
many
Kings
;
among
which
there
were
36
that
were
curiously
sieled
,
and
artificially
carued
and
ingrauen
:
it
was
425
foot
long
,
&
1●0
broad
.
There
were
so
many
gifts
&
gratuities
sent
from
all
the
cities
and
kings
round
about
,
toward
the
building
of
this
Temple
,
that
the
riches
and
treasure
thereof
was
wonderfull
;
insomuch
that
when
it
was
finished
,
it
was
accounted
one
of
the
stateliest
buildings
the
world
could
afford
,
and
numbered
amongst
the
wonders
of
the
world
.
This
temple
thus
built
at
such
an
extraordinarie
charge
that
it
was
almost
vnvaluable
,
was
set
on
fire
by
one
Herostratus
a
wicked
&
peruerse
fellow
(
in
the
same
Olympiad
and
day
that
Alexander
the
Great
was
borne
)
who
hauing
nothing
in
him
that
might
make
him
famous
in
after-ages
,
burnt
this
goodly
building
,
that
so
(
though
not
for
his
good
,
but
for
his
euill
)
he
might
get
a
name
.
But
the
Ephesians
were
so
insenced
because
of
this
mischiefe
,
that
they
procured
proclamation
to
bee
made
through
all
the
kingdomes
round
about
,
that
his
name
should
not
be
once
mentioned
:
which
perhaps
for
a
time
was
obserued
,
but
in
future
ages
they
could
not
preuent
it
,
but
that
he
was
both
spoken
of
&
written
of
.
Notwithstanding
afterward
the
inhabitants
of
this
City
became
so
exceeding
wealthy
,
that
they
soon
after
rebuilt
this
temple
of
Diana
,
and
made
it
much
fairer
than
it
was
before
;
all
the
Citisens
contributing
with
willing
hands
to
the
charge
of
the
building
:
insomuch
that
the
women
brought
all
their
siluer
,
gold
,
and
other
pretious
ornaments
,
and
communicated
them
towards
this
great
worke
.
Also
in
after-times
those
faire
pillars
before
spoken
of
,
were
againe
erected
;
towards
the
rebuilding
whereof
they
receiued
so
many
and
wonderfull
gifts
,
from
all
the
neighbouring
Kings
,
Cities
,
and
Countries
,
that
this
Temple
might
(
as
it
was
thought
)
compare
with
all
the
world
beside
for
riches
and
treasure
.
It
was
standing
in
S.
Pauls
time
,
who
came
thither
about
12
yeares
after
the
resurrection
of
our
Sauior
,
and
continued
there
three
yeares
;
in
which
time
he
so
faithfully
and
diligently
preached
the
Gospell
,
that
he
conuerted
most
of
the
Citisens
,
from
their
idolatry
and
worship
of
Diana
,
to
the
reuerend
knowledge
and
confession
of
our
blessed
Sauior
.
For
which
cause
Demetrius
the
siluer
smith
(
who
made
a
great
gain
by
idolatry
)
stirred
vp
a
great
tumult
;
so
that
the
Gentiles
running
vp
and
down
the
City
for
two
houres
space
,
cried
out
with
a
loud
voice
,
Great
is
Diana
of
the
Ephesians
,
Acts
19.
Here
also
Paul
fought
with
beasts
,

Cor.

And
to
this
city
Paul
wrot
his
Epistle
,
and
sent
it
from
Rome
,
996
miles
.
He
made
Timothy
also
a
Bishop
of
this
city
,
to
whom
he
wrot
two
Epistles
;
the
first
was
sent
him
from
Laodicea
to
Phrygia
,
beeing
280
miles
:
the
second
from
Rome
,
as
I
said
.
By
these
Epistles
Timothy
was
greatly
comforted
,
and
taught
them
to
his
disciples
and
auditors
,
that
so
they
might
constantly
continue
&
perseuer
in
the
Christian
faith
and
religion
to
the
end
.
To
conclude
,
Iohn
the
Evangelist
came
also
to
Ephesus
,
&
wrot
his
Gospel
against
the
heretick
Cerinthus
,
who
denied
Christ
to
be
the
true
God
;
for
which
cause
God
grieuously
punished
him
,
so
that
he
died
as
hee
was
bathing
himselfe
in
a
bath

wrot

;
and
there
when
he
returned
out
of
Pathmos
he
raised
his
host
Drusana
from
death
to

.
So
when
he
had
gouerned
the
churches
in
Asia
30
yeares
,
after
the
death
of
Paul
hee
died
,
when
hee
was
91
yeares
old
,
and
was
honorably
buried
at
Ephesus
not
far
from
the
city
.
There
was
also
another
Iohn
that
liued
in
Ephesus
,
to
whom
(
as
many
think
)
the
Epistles
of
Iohn
the
Evangelist
were
dedicated
,
as

Into
this
Isle
the
Evangelist
was
banished
by
Domitian
Nero
,
where
he
wrot
his
Reuelation
.
It
was
one
of

in

that
lay

It
stood
40
miles
from

and
as

was
somtimes
called
Posidius
,

Of

THis
is
the
second
city
to
which
Iohn
dedicated
his
Reuelation
.
It
was
scituated
in
Ionia
in
Asia
minor
,
540
miles
from
Ierusalem
Northwestward
.
This
was
a
very
faire
city
,
beautified
with
many
goodly
buildings
,
and
of
good
account
in
Grecia
.
It
was
at
first
but
a
Colony
,
transplanted
from
another
city
in
that
country
.
But
Theseus
that
great
prince
beeing
then
King
thereof
,
that
he
might
adde
some
grace
to
that
which
hee
had

hee
called
it
after
his

name
Smyrna

signifying
Myrrh

Herod

saith
that
Homer
was
born
here
(
but
not

)
and
called
by
the
name

after
the

called
him
(
of

)
Homer

Geogr.
saith
,
That
the
inhabitants
take
vpon
them
to
shew
his
picture
standing
there
,
&
also
a
temple
built
in
his
honour
.
During
his
life
he
was
a
man
of
small
or
no
reputation
,
or
rather
contemned
than
honored
,
as
Herod
saith
.
But
after
his
death
his
works
beginning
to
grow
famous
,
the
Cities
of
Greece
contended
who
should
patronise
him
.
The
Colophonians
claim
a
part
in
him
,
because
he
was
in
that
towne
,
and
there
made
some
of
his
Odysses
.
They
of
Chios
say
he
belonged
to
them
,
because
he
liued
there
a
long
time
,
and
taught
schoole
.
But
for
ought
that
can
bee
found
by
Authours
,
the
Smyrnians
haue
most
interest
in
him
.
Neuerthelesse
I
leaue
him
to
them
that
please
to
patronise
him
,
since
it
is
not
certainly
found
where
hee
liued
.
He
liued
about
900
yeares
before
Christ
.
Eusebius
saith
,
Hist.

that
in
after
times
this
city
grew
very
famous
,
and
was
so
much
inlarged
that
it
became
a
Bishops
See
,
whereof
Polycarpus
a
very
godly
and
religious
man
was
Bishop
.
He
gouerned

time

wrot
his
Reuelation
,
and

him

is
called
the
Angell
of
the
Church
of
Smyrna
.
This
man
after
he
had
faithfully
preached
the
Gospell
for
the
space
of
86
yeares
,
was
by
the
inhabitants
thereof
condemned
to
death
for
the
profession
of
Christ
,
Anno
170.
But
the
towne
of
Smyrna
because
of
the
vnthankfulnesse
and
crueltie
of
the
inhabitants
was
grieuously
punished
,
for
within
ten
yeares
it
was
cast
downe
by
an
earthquake
,
since
which
time
it
was
hardly
rebuilt
again
.
The
riuer
Pactolus
which
beginneth

runneth
by

town

that
are

,
call
it

little
after

there
was

hapned
in

that
they
were
constrained
to
carry

Of
Pergamus

THis
was
another
of
the
townes
whereto
Iohn
wrot
his
Reuelation
.
It
was
a
famous
city
,
and
metropolitan
of
Mysia
,
scituated
in
Asia
minor
,
228
miles
from
Ierusalem
Northwestward
.
It
stood
vpon
a
high
rock
close
by
the
riuer
Caicus
,
from
whence
it
was
called
Pergamus
.
For
in
antient
times
all
famous
and
notable
places
were
called
amongst
the
Graecians
Pergama
,
as
Suidas
and
Servius
obserueth
.
Strabo
,
lib.
13.
saith
,
That
in
the
time
of
Lysimachus
the
sonne
of
Agathocles
(
who
was
one
of
the
successours
of
Alexander
the
Great
)
it
was
but
a
castle
;
in
which
place
because
of
the
strength
of
it
,
he
vsually
kept
all
his
treasures
,
and
those
things
that
were
of
account
,
and
committed
the
custody
of
it
vnto
one
named
Philetaerus
,
an
Eunuch
of
Tyanus
.
But
this
man
being
accused
to
Lysimachus
,
That
he
would
haue
forced
his
wife
Arsinoës
,
for
feare
of
some
future
punishment
because
of
that
offence
,
moued
the
inhabitants
of
that
Hold
to
rebellion
.
At
the
same
time
also
there
happened
many
commotions
in
Asia
,
whereby
Lysimachus
was
constrained
to
leaue
this
,
and
make
opposition
against
Seleucus
Nicanor
,
who
had
inuaded
his
dominions
.
But
in
this
war
Lysimachus
was
slaine
.
And
Philetaerus
hauing
in
his
possession
great
riches
,
that
hee
might
enioy
what
hee
had
,
was
alwayes
obseruant
to
him
that
gat
the
victorie
,
by
which
meanes
he
kept
himselfe
and
his
riches
for
the
space
of
20
yeares
in
that
castle
;
and
then
dyed
,
and
left
all
his
wealth
to
Eumenes
his
brothers
sonne
,
who
inlarged
his
gouernment
,
and
ouercame
Antiochus
the
sonne
of
Seleucus
.
This
man
after
hee
had
raigned
32
yeares
dyed
,
and
Attalus
his
sonne
succeeded
him
in
the
Gouerment
,
who
hauing
conquered
Galatia
made
a
league
with
the
Romans
,
and
by
them
was
first
called
by
the
name
of
a
King
.
After
him
succeeded
his
son
Eumenes
the
second
of
that
name
,
who
aided
the
Romanes
against
Antiochus
magnus
King
of
Syria
;
for
which
seruice
the
Romans
gaue
him
all
the
dominions
that
Antiochus
had
on
this
side
the
Alps.
This
man
was
the
first
that
enlarged
the
castle
of
Pergamus
,
and
made
it
a
goodly
city
,
planting
round
about
it
a
thick
wood
or
grove
,
and
called
it
Nicephorus
.
And
after
he
had
reigned
49
yeares
he
died
,
and
left
his
kingdom
to
his
son
Attalus
,
called
Philometor
.
This
Attalus
after
hee
had
done
many
notable
exploits
,
died
without
issue
,
when
hee
had
reigned
5
yeares
,
and
left
his
kingdome
to
the
Romans
,
who
turned
it
into
a
prouince
.
There
liued
in
this
town
many
learned
men
,
as
Galen
the
Physitian
,
who
was
famous
in
the
time
of
Trajan
the
Emperor
,
and
(
as
the
fame
went
)
liued
140
yeares
.
Of
that
town
also
was
Apolodorus
the
Rhetoritian
,
who
was
schoole-master
to
Augustus
Caesar
,
of
which
man
the
Apollodorean
sect
tooke
name
,
and
Dionysius
Atticus
his
scholer
.
Here
Antipas
was
crowned
with
the
Wreath
of
martyrdome
.
To
the
Bishop
of
this
Towne
Iohn
wrot
his
Reuelation
,
and
in
the
second
Chapter
thereof
sharpely
reprehendeth
him
,
because
he
bore
with
the
sect
of
the
Nicholaitans
;
which
although
it
lasted
not
long
,
yet
it
was
very
dangerous
.
Eusebius
saith
,
That

of
the
seuen
Deacons
for
the
poore
at
Antiochia
,
of
whom
you

was
the
first
author
of
this
sect
:
yet
Clem.
Alexand.
cleares
him
of
it
,
laying
that
offence
rather
on
certaine
idle
persons
,
that
misconstruing
his
words
,
being
giuen
ouer
to
vile
affections
,
couered
their
euils
vnder
his
name
,
calling
themselues
Nicolaits
,
though
indeed
he
had
no
hand
in
it
,
but
liued
and
died
honestly
.
The
opinion
that
this
Sect
held
(
as
Euseb.
saith
,
li.
3.
ca.
23.
and
Irenaeus
,
libr.
1.
Chap.
27.
)
was
,
That
women
were
to
be
common
,
That
it
was
lawful
to
eat
meat
offered
to
Idols
;
That
fornication
and
Adultery
was
no
sin
:
beside
many
other
wicked
and
peruerse
opinions
concerning
the
Deity
,
which
would
be
too
tedious
to
recite
in
this
place
.
You
may
read
more
of
it
in
Eusebius
and
Tertullian
.
Of
Thyatira
.
THis
was
the
fourth
church
to
which
Iohn
wrot
his
Reuelation
:
it
was
scituated
close
by
the
riuer
Caicus
,
vpon
the
borders
of
Mysia
and
Lydia
,
600
miles
from
Ierusalem
Northeastward
.
It
was
a
very
faire
city
in
Asia
minor
,
yet
subiect
to
the
Lydians
.
In
this
country
Lidda
was
born
,
that
dwelt
at
Philippa
,
and
gaue
entertainment
to
Paul
and
Sylas
,
Acts
16.
Philippa
was
distant
from
this
town
400
miles
.
It
was
at
first
called
(
according
to
the
testimony
of
Stephen
)
Pelopea
and
Semiramis
.
But
after
Seleucus
Nicanor
K.
of
Syria
(
making
war
vpon
Lysimachus
king
of
Thrace
)
comming
to
this
towne
,
had
newes
that
his
wife
had
bore
him
a
daughter
,
in
honor
whereof
he
would
needs
haue
the
town
called
Thugateira
,
which
in
Greeke
signifies
a
daughter
;
but
Thyatira
,
Diuine
reuerence
.
Of
Sardis
.
TO
this
city
also
S.
Iohn
wrot
his
Reuelation
.
It
was
a
famous
and
princely
seat
,
scituated
in
Asia
not
farre
from
the
mountaine
Tmolus
,
where
Croesus
King
of
the
Lydians
kept
his
court
,
being
536
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
Northwest
.
It
was
so
called
(
without
doubt
)
of
Sardus
the
sonne
of
Hercules
,
which
maketh
Sardis
in
the
plural
number
.
Of
this
Towne
were
those
two
Diodories
which
were
Oratours
.
The
younger
of
them
did
write
Histories
and
Poems
,
and
was
one
of
Strabo's
great
friends
.
Close
by
this
Towne
is
found
a
precious
stone
,
which
after
the
townes
name
is
called
Sardis
:
it
is
of
a
fleshly
colour
,
and
therefore
is
commonly
called
Carnalia
;
of
which
you
may
reade
more
in
Pliny
,
lib
37.
cap.
4.
Of
Philadelphia
.
SAint
Iohn
also
wrote
his
Reuelation
to
this
city
.
It
was
scituated
in
Mysia
a
countrie
in
Asia
Minor
;
being
450
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
Northwest
.
This
city
is
so
often
troubled
with
Earthquakes
,
that
the
inhabitants
are
many
times
constrained
to
dwell
in
the
open
fields
.
Vpon
the
East
side
thereof
lies
a
dry
and
barren
country
,
which
seemeth
to
be
burnt
and
scorcht
with
heat
,
being
60
miles
long
,
and
48
miles
broad
;
where
there
grows
no
trees
,
but
there
are
found
great
plenty
of
grapes
,
which
being
prest
yeeld
very
pleasant
wine
,
and
may
compare
with
the
best
of
those
parts
.
The
superfices
of
the
earth
seemeth
like
ashes
,
mountany
,
stony
,
and
blacke
:
many
conjecture
the
cause
therof
to
be
by
reason
of
the
great
thunders
and
lightning
that
they
haue
there
;
but
there
are
some
which
giue
other
reasons
for
it
.
It
was
called
Philadelphia
of
Attolus
Philodelphius
who
first
built
it
.
Of
Laodicea
.
THis
was
the
seuenth
and
last
Citie
that
Iohn
directed
his
Reuelation
to
.
It
stood
close
by
the
riuer
Lycus
in
Caria
,
a
country
in
Asia
the
lesse
,
fiue
hundred
and
twentie
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
Northwest
;
and
is
likewise
oftentimes
troubled
with
Earthquakes
,
as
Sardis
Magnesia
and
Philadelphia
are
.
The
reason
of
these
often
Earthquakes
is
thought
to
be
,
because
there
are
vaults
and
hollow
caues
vnder
the
earth
,
into
which
the
aire
(
in
the
time
of
heat
)
hauing
free
entrance
,
then
closeth
vp
againe
so
that
it
can
find
no
passage
out
;
it
striueth
with
continuall
motion
to
make
way
through
the
earth
,
by
which
meanes
the
earth
trembleth
and
shaketh
:
and
looke
how
much
the
deeper
these
vaults
are
vnder
the
earth
,
so
much
the
more
violent
are
the
Earthquakes
;
by
which
means
,
cities
are
oftentimes
vtterly
ouerthrowne
and
ruined
,
sometimes
the
earth
sinketh
and
ponds
and
riuers
are
swallowed
vp
.
It
was
at
first
called
Diospolis
,
that
is
,
the
city
of
Iupiter
;
then
Rhoas
;
and
lastly
,
it
obtained
the
name
of
Laodicea
.
And
although
at
the
beginning
it
was
but
a
small
town
,
yet
by
reason
of
the
fertilitie
of
the
soile
,
and
pleasant
scituation
,
it
of
a
sudden
became
a
faire
citie
,
beautified
with
many
faire
and
goodly
houses
,
wherein
there
dwelt
many
wealthie
citizens
,
so
that
for
their
nobilitie
and
worthinesse
it
was
accounted
the
most
famous
towne
in
all
Asia
.
Here
Hiero
dwelt
who
diuided
his
inheritance
among
the
citizens
,
and
ouer
and
aboue
he
gaue
them
two
thousand
talents
of
gold
,
besides
many
other
gifts
and
gratuities
to
adorne
and
beautifie
the
citie
.
After
him
there
liued
Zeno
the
Orator
,
and
Polemon
his
sonne
;
who
for
his
noble
acts
was
first
by
Antonio
,
and
then
by
Augustus
Caesar
,
honored
with
the
dignitie
of
a
King
,
as
Strabo
witnesseth
,
lib.
12.
This
Laodicea
,
Colossis
,
and
Hieropolis
where
the
Apostle
Philip
was
crucified
,
were
sunk
by
an
earthquake
,
about
the
tenth
yeare
of
Nero
,
and
a
little
before
the
Martyrdome
of
Paul
.
There
were
three
cities
called
after
this
name
;
that
is
,
this
which
stood
in
Caria
(
to
which
Paul
neuer
came
;
as
appeareth
in
the
second
chapter
to
the
Collossians
;
)
a
second
stood
in
Phrigia
,
where
Paul
wrote
his
Epistle
to
Timothy
;
and
a
third
in
Syria
,
neere
ro
Antiochia
,
Seleucia
,
and
Apamea
.
The
Trauels
of
Philip.
THan
a
little
after
the
martyrdome
of
Stephen
(
which
hapned
in
the
Moneth
of
Ianuary
,
thirtie
and
fiue
yeares
after
the
natiuitie
of
Christ
)
Philip
which
one
of
the
seauen
Deacons
with
Stephen
,
Acts
6.
went
from
Ierusalem
to
Samaria
,
which
was
thirtie
and
two
miles
:
and
in
many
Cities
of
the
Samaritans
preached
the
Gospell
,
and
did
many
miracles
;
at
which
time
he
conuerted
Simon
Magus
,
Acts
8.
From
Samaria
he
went
to
Bethzur
,
which
was
scituated
fortie
and
foure
miles
towards
the
South
:
here
Philip
baptised
the
Aethiopian
who
was
Queene
Candaces
Eunuch
.
And
suddenly
he
was
taken
out
of
sight
by
the
spirit
of
the
Lord
,
and
went
to
Azotus
,
which
was
16
miles
.
From
thence
preaching
in
all
the
cities
as
he
went
,
he
came
to
Caesarea
Strato
,
which
was
44
miles
.
So
all
his
Trauels
were
136
miles
.
Concerning
the
townes
and
places
mentioned
in
his
Trauels
,
you
may
reade
of
them
in
seuerall
places
mentioned
before
.
The
Trauels
of
the
Aethiopian
which
was
Eunuch
to
Queene
Candaces
,
who
kept
her
court
in
Saba
.
FRom
Saba
or
Meroe
in
Aethiopia
,
this
Eunuch
came
to
Ierusalem
,
which
was
about
964
miles
,
Acts
4.
From
Ierusalem
he
came
to
the
towne
of
Bethzur
,
which
was
12
miles
:
here
he
was
baptised
by
Philip
in
the
Moneth
of
Ianuary
,
the
next
yeare
after
the
resurrection
of
Christ
.
From
thence
he
returned
to
Saba
in
Aethiopia
,
which
was
952
miles
.
So
all
his
Trauels
were
1928
miles
.
Of
Saba
.
THis
citie
is
before
mentioned
:
and
at
this
time
when
the
Eunuch
came
to
Ierusalem
,
Candaces
gouerned
it
and
a
great
part
of
Aethiopia
,
Tiberius
Caesar
being
then
Emperour
of
Rome
.
Shee
was
a
very
warlike
woman
,
but
blinde
of
one
eie
,
as
Strabo
saith
,
lib.
16.
and
Plin.
lib.
6.
cap.
29.
In
whose
time
the
citie
Saba
was
called
Meroe
;
and
the
Queenes
,
for
many
successions
,
Candaces
;
because
of
the
worthinesse
of
those
Queenes
which
had
beene
of
that
name
.
This
woman
was
very
well
beloued
of
her
subjects
;
and
was
very
gratious
towards
them
,
as
Suidas
saith
.
To
this
Queene
the
Eunuch
which
Philip
baptised
was
chiefe
Steward
;
and
no
doubt
spread
the
Christian
faith
in
many
places
of
those
parts
.
An
Introduction
to
the
Trauels
of
Saint
Paul
.
NOw
before
I
enter
vpon
the
Trauels
of
the
Apostle
Paul
,
I
though
it
fit
to
make
a
collection
of
all
the
Countries
,
Islands
and
Cities
wherein
he
taught
:
so
that
they
which
are
skilfull
in
Geometrie
or
Cosmographie
,
might
discerne
their
Longitudes
,
Latitudes
,
and

The
Trauels
of
the
holy
Apostle
S.
Paul
,
with
an
axact
annotation
of
the
times
.
PAul
was
borne
at
Tarsus
in
Cicilia
,
about
the
tenth
yeare
of
the
natiuitie
of
our
Sauiour
;
and
was
neere
about
the
age
of
S.
Iohn
the
Euangelist
,
as
the
circumstances
of
Histories
doe
declare
.
After
he
grew
to
some
bignesse
,
he
was
sent
by
his
parents
from
thence
to
Ierusalem
,
being
304
miles
;
where
he
had
not
beene
long
brought
vp
with
Gamaliel
(
which
signifies
,
The
recompence
of
God
)
Acts
22.
but
he
became
the
Disciple
of
Simon
the
just
,
Luke
2.
Acts
5.
This
Paul
was
of
the
Tribe
of
Benjamin
,
Phil.
2.
2
Cor.
11.
and
being
yet
but
a
young
man
,
he
was
one
of
those
that
kept
the
garments
of
the
holy
Martyr
S.
Stephen
,
who
was
stoned
about
the
end
of
the
foure
and
thirtieth
yeare
after
the
natiuitie
of
Christ
,
Acts
1.
at
which
time
also
S.
Iohn
the
Euangelist
was
but
foure
and
twentie
yeares
of
age
.
If
therefore
you
would
obserue
the
age
of
the
Apostle
Paul
in
this
following
discourse
of
his
Trauels
,
deduct
ten
from
the
yeres
after
the
natiuitie
of
our
Sauiour
Christ
,
and
the
remainder
is
his
age
.
At
his
circumcision
he
was
called
Saul
,
that
is
,
a
mortall
man
:
but
when
he
was
made
the
Apostle
of
the
Gentiles
,
he
was
called
Paul
;
of
which
name
there
was
a
noble
family
in
Rome
,
so
called
because
of
the
lownesse
of
their
stature
,
and
smalnesse
of
their
body
;
as
Carolus
Sigonius
obserueth
.
In
the
35
yeare
after
the
natiuitie
of
Christ
Paul
was
an
inquisitor
for
priuate
heresie
,
and
a
cruel
persecutor
of
the
Gospel
.
The
next
yeare
he
went
from
Ierusalem
to
Damascus
in
Syria
,
which
was
160
miles
:
in
which
journey
(
about
the
25
day
of
Ianuary
)
he
was
conuerted
;
and
vpon
the
28
day
of
Ianuary
was
baptized
by
Ananias
.
So
he
staied
some
few
daies
in
Damascus
,
and
taught
the
Gospell
of
Christ
,
Acts
9.
&
22.
In
the
same
yere
that
he
was
conuerted
,
the
Iewes
&
those
that
were
enemies
to
the
Gospell
,
went
about
by
deceit
to
take
his
life
;
wherefore
he
went
from
Damascus
to
Arabia
Petraea
,
which
was
160
miles
;
here
hee
continued
teaching
the
Gospell
by
the
space
of
three
yeares
,
that
is
,
from
the
beginning
of
the
35
to
the
end
of
the
37
yeare
after
the
Natiuitie
of
Christ
,
Act.
9.
In
the
38
yeare
after
the
Natiuitie
of
Christ
he
returned
from
Arabia
Petraea
and
came
to
Damascus
,
which
was
160
miles
;
and
there
he
diligently
taught
the
Gospell
of
Christ
.
But
when
in
the
same
yeare
Araeta
King
of
Arabia
went
about
to
put
him
secretly
to
death
,
he
was
let
down
in
a
basket
ouer
the
wall
,
and
so
went
from
Damascus
to
Ierusalem
,
which
was
160
miles
:
and
when
hee
came
thither
he
brought
Barnabas
to
the
Apostles
,
and
shewed
them
his
conuersion
,
and
remained
with
Peter
15
daies
preaching
the
Gospell
.
At
this
time
he
saw
Iames
the
sonne
of
Alpheus
and
brother
of
our
Lord
,
Acts
9.
2
Cor.
11.
Galat.
1.
But
when
his
aduersaries
that
were
at
Ierusalem
went
about
secretly
to
put
him
to
death
,
hee
went
from
Ierusalem
and
was
brought
by
the
brethren
to
Caesarea
Strato
,
which
was
32
miles
,
Acts
9.
About
the
38
yere
after
the
natiuitie
of
Christ
he
went
thence
into
Syria
to
Tarsus
a
citie
of
Cilicia
,
which
was
272
miles
:
here
he
continued
some
yeares
teaching
the
Gospell
of
Christ
,
Gal.
1.
2
Cor.
11.
In
the
41
yeare
after
the
natiuitie
of
Christ
,
and
about
the
seuenth
yeare
of
his
Ministrie
,
hee
was
brought
by
Barnabas
from
Tarsus
to
Antiochia
in
Syria
,
which
was
120
miles
.
At
this
time
and
in
this
towne
all
those
that
beleeued
in
Christ
began
to
bee
called
Christians
,
wheras
before
they
were
called
Disciples
and
brothers
,
Acts
11.
These
things
hapned
in
the
eight
yeare
after
the
resurrection
of
Christ
:
about
this
time
also
Matthew
wrote
his
Gospell
,
and
Agabus
prophesied
of
the
vniuersall
dearth
that
should
happen
vnder
Claudius
,
Acts
11.
In
the
42
yeare
after
the
natiuitie
of
Christ
,
Paul
being
then
at
Antiochia
,
and
about
32
yeres
of
age
,
was
wrapt
vp
into
the
third
heauen
,
14
yeares
before
he
wrote
his
second
Epistle
to
the
Corinthians
,
2
Cor.
12.
In
the
43
yeare
after
the
natiuitie
of
Christ
,
the
famine
wherof
Agabus
prophecied
,
being
now
begun
,
hee
went
with
the
gifts
of
the
Church
from
Antiochia
to
Ierusalem
,
which
was
280
miles
:
this
yeare
Iames
the
elder
was
beheaded
at
the
command
of
Agrippa
,
Acts
11.
&
12.
In
the
44
yeare
after
the
natiuitie
of
Christ
,
Paul
and
Barnabas
with
Peter
,
were
deliuered
out
of
prison
by
the
Angell
of
the
Lord
.
Now
hauing
distributed
the
gifts
of
the
Church
,
hee
returned
in
the
company
of
Iohn
Marke
,
from
Ierusalem
to
Antiochia
,
which
was
280
miles
.
So
these
trauels
were
1928
miles
.
Of
the
townes
and
places
to
which
he
trauelled
.
of
Tarsus
or
Tharsus
.
THis
was
the
Metropolis
of
Cilicia
,
scituated
vpon
the
riuer
of
Cydnus
,
which
beginning
at
Mount
Taurus
,
runs
thence
through
this
towne
into
the
Mediterranean
sea
.
It
was
first
built
by
Perseus
King
of
the
Persians
,
(
whom
the
Poëts
faigne
to
bee
the
sonne
of
Iupiter
and
Danaë
)
&
called
Tharsus
,
of
the
Hyacinth
stone
,
which
,
as
it
seemeth
,
is
found
thereabouts
.
It
was
distant
from
Ierusalem
304
miles
towards
the
North
;
in
antient
time
a
goodly
city
;
but
through
the
injurie
of
the
time
,
and
inuasion
of
the
enemy
,
much
impaired
,
&
lay
almost
ruined
,
til
(
as
Strab.
saith
,
li.
14.
)
it
was
repaired
by
Sardanapalus
that
effeminat
K.
of
the
Assirians
;
of
whom
Tully
remembreth
this
Epitaph
,
lib.
5.
Tuscula
:
Haec
habeo
quae
aedi
,
quaeque
exaturata
libido
,
Hausit
,
at
illa
jacent
multa
&
praeclara
relicta
.
What
things
I
eat
or
spend
in
sport
and
play
;
Those
I
enjoy
,
the
rest
I
cast
away
.
From
his
time
,
vntill
the
raigne
of
Darius
the
last
king
of
the
Persians
,
it
continued
in
great
prosperity
,
and
was
become
a
maruellous
stately
citie
,
the
inhabitants
therof
being
growne
very
wealthy
:
but
then
Alexander
the
Great
,
making
warre
vpon
that
Prince
,
amongst
others
,
brought
his
Army
against
this
citie
:
but
the
citisens
hearing
of
his
notable
exployts
,
durst
not
abide
his
comming
:
therefore
they
fired
the
citie
,
left
hee
should
make
a
prey
of
their
riches
,
and
fled
:
which
when
Alexander
perceiued
,
he
gaue
order
to
Parmenio
with
all
possible
speed
to
quench
the
fire
,
and
saue
the
citie
.
In
the
meane
time
the
King
(
being
prest
with
an
extraordinary
thirst
,
by
reason
of
the
extreame
heate
that
was
in
that
country
,
the
dust
,
and
his
long
journie
)
put
off
his
roiall
garments
,
and
cast
himselfe
into
the
riuer
Cydnus
,
which
being
a
cold
water
comming
out
of
the
North
,
stroke
the
heat
presently
inward
,
and
so
benummed
his
sinewes
,
that
had
it
not
been
for
the
present
helpe
of
his
souldiers
,
and
the
extraordinarie
diligence
and
care
of
Philip
his
Phisitian
,
he
had
died
immediately
;
notwithstanding
,
by
the
great
prouidence
of
God
,
and
the
carefulnesse
of
his
physitian
,
hee
recouered
his
dangerous
sickenesse
beyond
the
expectation
of
man
;
and
after
ouercame
Darius
in
a
sharpe
and
cruell
warre
,
neere
to
a
place
called
Issa
,
as
you
may
reade
before
,
See
Plutarch
in
vita
Alexand.
and
Quintus
Curtius
.
From
that
time
forward
this
citie
grew
to
be
very
famous
,
and
daily
increased
in
statelinesse
and
faire
buildings
.
And
to
adde
more
dignitie
to
it
,
there
was
a
famous
Academie
,
in
which
were
many
learned
and
rare
Philosophers
;
in
so
much
that
they
of
Tharsus
exceeded
the
Philosophers
of
Athens
and
Alexandria
for
learning
and
knowleged
,
though
indeed
for
number
of
scholers
and
common
resort
they
exceeded
Tharsus
.
Saint
Paul
was
borne
and
brought
vp
in
this
Towne
,
and
here
learned
the
knowledge
of
the
tongues
,
Philosophie
,
and
other
good
arts
.
Hee
also
perused
the
writings
of
Aratus
,
Epimenides
;
Menander
,
and
other
learned
men
,
whose
sayings
are
here
and
there
dispersed
through
his
Epistles
.
From
thence
he
was
sent
to
Ierusalem
,
where
hee
liued
and
was
brought
vp
at
the
feet
of
Gamaliel
,
who
was
Prouost
of
that
Academy
:
and
after
,
was
conuerted
to
be
an
Apostle
of
Christ
Iesus
,
as
appeareth
Acts
22.
This
towne
at
this
day
is
subject
to
the
Empire
of
the
Turkes
,
and
called
by
the
name
of
Terassa
;
beeing
neither
so
famous
nor
so
faire
a
citie
,
as
in
the
time
when
the
Roman
Empire
flourished
;
for
then
,
because
of
the
extraordinary
vertue
of
the
citizens
,
it
was
indowed
with
the
libertie
and
freedome
of
Rome
.
Of
Damascus
.
THis
was
a
metropolitan
towne
in
Syria
,
distant
from
Ierusalem
160
miles
towards
the
Northeast
;
being
an
ancient
and
faire
citie
,
and
,
before
such
time
as
Antiochia
was
built
,
the
head
of
all
that
kingdome
.
It
was
scituated
in
a
faire
and
fruitfull
place
,
close
by
the
mountaine
Libanus
,
which
bringeth
forth
Frankincense
,
Ceders
,
Cypresse
,
and
many
odoriferous
and
sweet
smelling
floures
.
There
were
many
Kings
that
kept
their
court
in
it
,
as
Hadad
,
Benhadad
the
first
,
Benhadad
the
second
,
Hasael
,
and
others
,
who
grieuously
opposed
the
Kings
of
Israel
in
many
sharpe
and
cruell
warres
,
as
you
may
reade
before
.
The
land
round
about
it
aboundeth
with
white
and
red
Roses
,
Pomegranats
,
Almonds
,
Figges
,
and
other
sweet
and
pleasant
fruits
.
In
that
place
the
Alablaster
stone
is
found
,
very
faire
and
cleere
.
The
aire
,
pleasant
and
healthfull
.
The
riuer
called
Chrysorrus
,
runneth
close
by
it
,
in
which
there
is
found
golden
veines
which
yeelded
perfect
gold
.
The
houses
without
are
not
very
curious
;
but
within
,
all
of
polished
Marble
and
Alablaster
guilt
with
resplendent
gold
,
so
artificially
that
it
dazleth
the
beholders
eies
.
There
was
a
certaine
Florentine
who
reuolted
from
the
Christian
faith
,
and
obtained
to
be
chiefe
gouernour
of
this
towne
;
in
which
he
erected
a
strong
and
beautifull
castle
,
which
stood
for
the
defence
of
it
.
No
man
can
sufficiently
expresse
the
beautie
and
glory
of
this
citie
:
there
is
great
traffique
,
and
much
resort
of
people
to
it
,
but
especially
of
Turkes
,
Saracens
,
Mamalucks
,
and
other
kinds
of
Pagan
people
,
who
are
preferred
before
the
Christians
in
that
gouernment
:
and
although
there
are
many
Christians
in
that
place
,
yet
they
are
constrained
to
indure
great
injurie
by
those
Barbarians
,
because
they
are
hated
euen
to
the
death
:
and
if
any
of
them
chance
to
die
,
they
are
buried
in
that
place
where
Paul
was
conuerted
.
The
inhabitants
shew
the
place
where
Saint
Paul
was
let
downe
ouer
the
wall
in
a
basket
;
also
the
house
of
Ananias
,
who
cured
the
blindnesse
of
Paul
,
besides
many
other
things
that
are
memorable
in
that
citie
,
of
which
you
may
reade
in
Sebestian
Munster
,
Sebastian
Frankus
,
Plin.
lib.
5.
and
many
other
authors
.
Of
Arabia
.
MAny
things
are
already
spoken
concerning
this
Countrey
,
as
the
diuision
of
the
place
;
one
called
Petraea
,
the
other
Deserta
,
and
the
third
,
Foelix
.
Arabia
Petraea
is
so
called
from
the
Metropolitan
citie
thereof
,
called
Petra
,
which
is
scituated
forty
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
South
,
and
bordereth
vpon
Aegypt
and
India
.
It
is
also
called
Arabia
Nabathea
,
as
you
may
reade
before
.
Paran
and
Sur
are
a
part
of
it
,
compassing
towards
the
East
the
land
of
Iudaea
,
and
so
extendeth
to
Damascus
.
This
countrey
is
very
full
of
rockes
and
stones
,
the
chiefe
citie
Petra
being
scituated
vpon
a
rocke
,
of
which
it
taketh
the
name
.
Here
standeth
the
mountaines
Horeb
and
Sinai
;
here
the
children
of
Israel
trauelled
when
they
went
out
of
Aegypt
;
here
is
the
Sardonix
stone
found
;
and
the
people
of
this
countrey
in
times
past
were
great
Prophets
and
Astrologians
;
here
also
S.
Paul
taught
the
Gospell
a
little
after
his
conuersion
,
Gal.
1.
at
which
time
Aretas
was
King
thereof
,
whose
sister
was
married
to
Herod
the
Tetrarch
of
Galile
and
Petraea
;
but
he
cast
her
off
,
and
married
Herodias
his
brother
Philips
wife
,
vpon
which
there
began
a
bloudy
warre
betweene
Aretas
and
Herod
,
and
a
sharpe
battell
was
fought
neere
to
Gamala
a
citie
beyond
Iordan
.
And
although
the
two
Kings
were
not
at
this
battell
,
yet
by
the
treason
and
flight
of
the
soldiers
out
of
Tracones
,
(
who
without
all
question
would
haue
reuenged
the
contempt
done
vnto
their
Lord
Philip
)
the
Arabian
armie
carried
away
a
notable
victory
,
as
Iosephus
witnesseth
,
lib.

cap.

Aretas
signifieth
,
An
excellent
man
;
which
was
a
common
name
to
the
Kings
of
Arabia
.
It
is
to
be
thought
that
Damascus
and
all
the
Countrey
round
about
was
vnder
the
jurisdiction
of
this
King
;
and
that
he
ordained
a
Lieutenant
or
Generall
in
those
parts
,
who
would
haue
taken
Paul
and
put
him
to
death
,

The
other
part
of
Arabia
is
called
by
Ptolomie
,
Deserta
;
but
Strabo
calls
it
,
Scenilis
,
because
the
inhabitants
thereof
are
without
buildings
or
Tents
,
and
liue
like
vagrants
vp
and
downe
the
woods
.
This
is
compast
in
vpon
the
South
with

they
sailed

,
which
was

From
thence
they
went
to
Paphos
,
which
is
in
the
same
Isle
where
Sergius
Paulus
was
conuerted
,
and
Elymas
the
Magitian

)
to
Pergamus
a
city
of

,
scituated
in
Asia
minor
,
which
was
148
miles
.
In
the
45
yeare
after
the
Natiuitie
of
Christ
,
they
went
from
Pergamus
to
Antiochia
in
Pisidia
,
which
was
132

From
thence
they
went
to

here
they
staied
some
time
and
conuerted
many

In
the
46
yere
after
the
natiuitie
of
Christ
,
there
being
a
great
tumult
raised
in
that
countrey
,
lest
the
inhabitants
should
haue
stoned
them
,
they
fled
thence
to
Lystra
a
city
of
Lyaconia
,
where
Paul
healed
the
lame
man
,
which
was
28
miles
.
The
inhabitants
seeing
this
miracle
,
worshipped
them
for
gods
,
and
called
Barnabas
,
Iupiter
;
and
Paul
,
Mercurius
;
because
he
wrought
the
miracle
.
But
not
long
after
,
certaine
Iewes
comming
from
Antiochia
and
Iconia
,
arriued
in
Listra
,
by
whose
perswasion
the
people
stoned
Paul
,
and
supposing
him
to
be
dead
carried
him
out
of
the
citie
:
but
when
his
Disciptes
came
vnto
him
,
he
rose
vp
and
went
into

towne
,
Act.

The

they
returned
backe
againe

which
was
28
miles
.
From
Iconia
they
came
to
Antiochia
in
Pisidia
,
which
was
16
miles
:
in
this
citie
they
comforted
the
Disciples
,
exhorting
them
that
they
should
perseuere
in
their
faith
,
For
through
many
afflictions
we
must
enter
into
the
Kingdome
of
heauen
.
They
also
elected
Elders
in
the
Churches
,
so
with
fasting
and
praiers
they
commended
them
to
the
Lord
in
whom
they
beleeued
.
In
the
47
yeare
after
Christ
,
they
went
from
Antiochia
thorough
all
Pisidia
,
and
came
to
Pergamus
a
citie
in
Pamphilia
,
which
was
132
miles
:
here
they
preached
the
word
of
the
Lord
,
Acts

From
Pergamus
in
the
following
yeare
they
went
downe
to
the
citie
of
Attalia
,
which
was
26
miles
.
In
the
48
yere
after
the
natiuitie
of
Christ
,
they
loosed
thence
and
went
to
Antiochia
in
Syria
,
which
was
340
miles
,
here
they
assembled
the
Church
and
shewed
what
wonderfull
things
the
Lord
had
wrought
by
them
,
and
how
hee
had
opened
the
doore
of
faith
vnto
the
Gentiles
:
in
this
place
they
staied
a
great
space
,
Acts
14.
In
the
yeare
following
they
went
from
Antiochia
to
Ierusalem
(
which
was

to
the
Apostolicall
Councell
,
which
was
celebrated

BEcause
you
may
reade
of
Seleucia
before
,
I
therfore
willingly
omit
it
,
that
I
might
speake
more
fully
of
Cyprus
.
This
is
a
faire

spacious
Isle
,
scituated
in
the
Mediterranean

in
the
gulph
of
Issa
,
bordering
vpon
Cilicia
and
Syria
,
distant
160
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
North
,
as
Strabo
saith
,
lib.
14.
It
is
in
compasse
428
miles
,
very
fertile
,
powerfull
and
spacious
for
an
Island
.
There
inhabited
in
it
in
times
past
nine
Kings
,
and
(
as
Pliny
saith
,
lib.
5.
cap.
31.
)
called
Macaria
,
or
one
of
the
happy
Islands
:
the
inhabitants
were
giuen
much
vnto
luxurie
and
venerie
;
from
whence
it
hapned
that
Venus
was
greatly
honoured
amongst
them
.
It
is
said
that
there
are
many
pretious
stones
found
in
it
,
besides
Crystal
,
Allum
,
and
Cypresse
wood
which
abounds
in
that
place
,
from
which
it
seemeth
the
Island
was
called
Cyprus
.
There
are
also
found
many
Symples
that
are
Physical
,
much
Sack
comes
thenee
and
many
other
things
necessarie
for
the

Here
also
standeth
the
Mountaine
Olympus
,
whose
top
seemeth
to
touch
the
heauens
,
from
whence
it
taketh
the

because
there
neuer

There
are

whereof
Haniball
built

and
the
fourth
in

There
are
many
cities
in
this
countrey
,
as
Macaria
,
Cyprus
or
Cyrhera
,
after
called
Paphos
,
and
now
Baffa
(
in

there
standeth
such
a

Temple
,
that
Venus
of
that
is
called
Cypria
and
Cytherea
)
Nicosia
,
and
Salamus
now

There
haue
beene
many
and
cruell
sharpe
warres
betweene
the
Venetians
and
Turkes
concerning
this
countrie
,
but
at
this
day
it
is
vnder
the

was
distant
from
Ierusalem
196
miles
towards
the

;
built
by
Teucer
the
sonne
of
Telamon
,
and
scituated
in
the
Eubeian
sea
just
against
Athens
.
The
occasion
why
this
town
was
built
,
hapned
by
reason
of
a
discontent
that
grew
betweene
Teucer
and
his
father
Telamon
:
for
Teucer
returning
from
Troy
(
not
hauing
reuenged
the
death
of
his
brother
Ajax
)
so
much
incensed
his
father
that
he
banished
him
his
countrie
,
whereupon
Teucer
sailed
thence
to
Cyprus
,
where
he
built
this
citie
,
and
because
of
the
extraordinarie
affection
that
he
bore
to
the
countrie
where
he
was
borne
,
called
it
by
the
name
of
Salamena
,
or
Salamais
.
Saint
Ierom
saith
,
that
there
is
a
riuer
of
extraordinary
hot

;
and
that
it
was

Iewes
,
and
vtterly
ruined
and
destroied
;
but
afterward
repeopled
and
called
by
the

THis
Citie
is
scituated
vpon

,
212
miles

North
,
and
seemeth
to
take
the

from
Paphos
the
sonne
of
Pigmalion
the

.
In
this
towne
there
stood
a
notable
Temple
,
built
by
that
Pigmalion
in
the
honour
of
Venus
;
for
that
(
as
it
seemeth
by
the
Poets
)
hee
was
much
giuen
to

Here
Elimas
that
wicked
Magician
who
(

it
)
called

,
the
sonne
of
Iehouah
,
dwelt
,
whom
the
Lord
by
the
hand
of
Paul
strucke
with
blindnesse
.
Here
also
Sergius
Paulus
the

conuerted
.
It
was
in

citie
,
as
the

thereof
testifie
to
this

;
but
now
it
is
destroied

There
(
as
it
is
for
the
most

Island
)
the

scituated
vpon
a

in
the
middle
of
the
citie
;
and
as
may
be
thought
,
was
sometime
the

and
then
he
and
Sylas
being
scourged
were
cast
into
prison
,
Paul
being
then
about
41
yeares
of
age
,
Acts
16.
From
Philippos
they
went
to
Amphipolis
,
about
36
miles
,
Acts
17.
From
thence
they
went
to
Apollonia
,
44
miles
.
From
Apollonia
they
went
to
Thessalonica
,
where
the
Iewes
stirred
vp
a
tumult
:
80
miles
.
Wherefore
they
went
thence
by
night
,
and
came
to
Berrhaea
60
miles
:
here
also
the
Iewes
stirred
vp
a
tumult
,
Acts

These
things
hapned

From
Berrhaea
Paul
was
brought
by
the
Brethren
to
the
sea
,
where
entring
into
a
shippe
hee
went
to
Athens
,
which
was
264
miles
;
where
he
conuerted
Dionysius
the
Areopagite
.
From
this
towne
he
wrot
both
his
Epistles
to
the
Thessalonians
,
as
the
subscription
witnesseth
,
and
sent
them
to
Thessalonica
.
These
were
the
first
Epistles
that
Paul
wrot
.
Afterward
hee
went
from
Athens
and
came
to
Corinthia
,
74
miles
:
he
came
thither
about
the
beginning
of
August
,
An.
D.
51
and
continued
there
a
whole
yeare
and
six
months
,
preaching
the
Gospell
,
and
making
tents
with
Aquila
the
Iew
,
who
was
of
that
trade
,
Acts
19.
From
Corinthia
,
about
the
spring
An.
Do.

he
went
to
Cenchraea
with
Aquila
and
Priscilla
,
304
miles
.
There
for
deuotions
sake
he
polled
his
head
.
From
Cenchraea
he
sailed
in
the
company
of
Aquila
and
Priscilla
to
Ephesus
,
about
304
miles
.
Here
he
left
them
,
Acts
18.
From
Ephesus
hee
sailed
to
Caesarea
Strato
in
Iudaea
,
beeing
280
miles
.
From
Caesarea
he
went
to
Ierusalem
,
32
miles
,
and
saluted
the
Church
.
From
the
city
of
Ierusalem
Paul
went
to
Antiochia
in
Syria
,
280
miles
.
So
all
these
trauels
were
2154
miles
.

Of

trauelled
.
Of
Cilicia
.
BEcause
you
may
reade
of
Syria
before
,
I
wil
omit
it
,
and
proceed
to
speake
of
Cilicia
.
This
was
a
countrey
in
Asia
the
lesse
,
so
called
(
as
some
would
haue
it
)
from
Cilix
the
Kings
son
of
Phoenicia
;
compassed
in
vpon
the
East
with
the
mountaine
Amanus
;
vpon
the
North
with
the
mountaine
Taurus
;
vpon
the
West
by
Pamphilia
;
and
vpon
the
South
by
the
Mediterranean
sea
.
At
this
day
it
is
called
Caramania
,
and
is
distant
from
Ierusalem
304
miles
towards
the
North.
In
times
past
it
was
diuided
into
two
parts
,
that
is
,
into
Cilicia
the
higher
and
the
lower
:
Cilicia
the
higher
aboundeth
with
mountaines
,
the
lower
is
a
plaine
champian
countrey
very
fertile
and
pleasant
.
The
principal
cities
thereof
are
Tarsus
,
where
the
Apostle
Paul
was
born
,
and
where
the
riuer
Cydnus
runs
through
the
midst
of
it
;
Issus
,
where
Alexander
ouercame
Darius
last
Emperor
of
the
Persians
;
Anazarba
,
where
Dioscorides
that
excellent
Physitian
was
borne
,
who
was
of
great
estimation
with
Antonius
and
Cleopatra
.
There
are
six
books
yet
extant
of
his
profitable
and
necessary
labours
in
that
science
.
From
hence
may
be
gathered
that
the
scituation
is
strong
and
pleasant
;
in
regard
it
is
fortified
on
euery
side
with
mountaines
,
but
principally
with
the
mountaine
Taurus
(
famous
for
the
fertilitie
of
it
,
and
the
passage
of
Alexander
with
his
army
,
who
at
the
he
conquered
Darius
,
went
through
the
straight
passages
thereof
,
being
both
dangerous
and
difficult
)
and
watered
with
many
Riuers
that
take
their
beginning
from
that
mountaine
,
&
so
passeth
Southward
through
all
Cilicia
,
falling
then
into
the
Mediterranian
sea
.
Of
Galatia
.
GAlatia
or
Gallo-Grecia
is
a
countrey
of
Asia
minor
,
distant
from
Ierusalem
400
miles
;
hauing
vpon
the
East
Cappadocia
,
vpon
the
South
Pamphilia
,
vpon
the
West
Bythinia
,
and
on
the
North
the
Euxine
sea
.
The
cities
of
this
country
were
antiently
Sinopis
,
where
King
Mithridates
kept
his
Court
,
and
Diogenes
the
Cynick
was
born
;
Amisus
,
also
Pessinus
,
where
the
Mother
of
the
gods
was
had
in
great
honor
,
and
was
fetcht
thence
by
the
Romans
.
This
was
a
famous
mart
town
(
as
Livy
saith
,
li.
29.
)
Laodicea
,
Tauius
,
and
Ancyra
,
where
there
was
held
a
notable
Sinod
:
and
in
this
large
and
spatious
country
also
stood
Antiochia
Pisidia
;
for
the
Galathians
dwelt
in
all
Paphlagonia
a
part
of
Licaonia
,
Pisidia
,
and
Isauria
:
in
which
countries
the
Apostle
Paul
taught
the
Gospel
of
Christ
.
These
inhabitants
(
which
in
those
daies
were
called
Galathians
)
are
said
to
be
a
people
of
France
,
who
ioyning
themselues
to
the
Cymbrians
,
Danes
,
and
Germans
,
vnder
the
conduct
of
Brennus
their
captain
inuaded
Italy
;
in
which
enterprise
they
were
so
fortunat
that
they
conquered
a
great
part
of
it
,
wherin
they
planted
colonies
:
and
because
of
their
neernesse
to
their
own
country
in
processe
of
time
grew
mightie
;
and
from
that
beginning
the
countrey
where
they
inhabited
was
called
Cice-alpine-Gallia
;
taking
that
name
partly
of
the
place
,
partly
of
the
people
.
After
,
Brennus
and
his
armie
making
vse
of
their
fortunes
,
forraged
all
Italy
,
and
came
to
Rome
,
which
they
woone
and
sackt
,
all
but
the
Capitoll
,
and
that
also
was
in
great
danger
,
vntill
such
time
as
Camillus
(
a
valiant
Roman
Captaine
)
taking
aduantage
of
the
enemies
securitie
(
who
now
tooke
more
care
how
to
satisfie
their
couetousnesse
,
than
to
defend
what
they
had
got
)
of
a
sudden
set
vpon
them
;
by
which
vnexpected
inuasion
they
were
put
to
a
maruellous
straight
,
and
the
besieged
greatly
incouraged
;
so
that
they
also
issuing
out
of
the
Capitoll
,
made
such
a
slaughter
,
that
they
forced
Brennus
and
his
armie
to
retire
,
and
to
restore
all
the
pillage
that
hee
had
got
,
and
also
forsake
the
countrey
.
This
misfortune
they
bore
patiently
,
considering
their
former
prosperitie
,
and
in
hope
of
better
successe
sailed
thence
into
Grecia
:
where
,
after
they
had
attempted
many
noble
exploits
,
and
failing
in
some
,
they
determined
a
voyage
for
Delphos
,
because
there
was
great
store
of
treasure
,
and
the
inhabitants
(
as
they
supposed
)
weake
to
oppose
their
armie
.
In
this
expedition
they
vsed
much
pillage
and
robbing
vpon
the
Seas
;
and
through
many
dangers
came
at
length
to
this
Isle
,
landed
their
men
,
wan
the
citie
,
fired
a
great
part
of
it
,
and
put
many
of
the
inhabitants
to
the
sword
:
with
this
victorie
,
most
of
his
armie
which
were
more
religious
than
the
rest
,
would
haue
willingly
left
the
countrey
;
but
Brennus
who
beforetimes
had
beene
vsed
to
sacriledge
,
and
those
that
were
as
couetous
as
himselfe
,
thought
it
basenesse
through
an
opinion
of
holinesse
to
leaue
so
great
a
bootie
behind
them
as
was
contained
in
the
Temple
of
Apollo
,
(
for
that
place
of
all
the
Temples
of
the
world
in
those
times
was
notorious
for
riches
and
treasure
,
the
many
and
great
gratuities
and
offerings
of
most
Princes
,
which
were
both
magnificent
and
rich
,
being
hoarded
vp
in
the
secret
caues
of
this
Oracle
)
wherefore
they
attempted
the
assault
,
but
with
bad
successe
,
for
the
diuell
raised
such
a
tempest
,
with
thundring
,
lightning
,
and
other
strange
and
vncoth
accidents
,
that
Brennus
in
this
distemperature
of
the
aire
was
[
*
](A17140-e148090-b)
*
Some
say
he
killed
himself
with
his
owne
dagger
.
slaine
,
many
of
his
shippes
were
set
on
fire
,
and
the
greatest
part
of
his
armie
lost
,
being
either
spoiled
with
lightning
,
slaine
by
the
inhabitants
,
or
dispersed
with
feare
.
Such
euent
had
this
sacrilegious
attempt
.
Those
that
remained
,
after
they
had
gathered
themselues
into
a
body
,
went
thence
into
Asia
the
lesse
,
and
planted
themselues
in
this
country
;
where
the
inhabitants
in
processe
of
time
called
them
Gallo-Graecians
,
adding
their
originall
name
to
that
of
the
countrey
wherein
they
liued
:
and
after
,
for
beauties
sake
,
they
were
called
Galatians
,
See
Liu.
lib.
5.
Diodorus
Siculus
,
lib.
6.
saith
,
That
the
inhabitants
of
Galatia
were
so
called
of
this
people
,
in
the
time
that
Gidion
iudged
Israel
,
&
that
Cyrus
was
Emperour
of
Persia
;
both
may
be
true
,
considering
the
mutabilitie
and
change
of
States
in
those
times
.
Some
thinke
they
were
first
called
Galatians
by
Attalus
King
of
Pergamus
,
(
who
gaue
them
a
great
ouerthrow
close
by
the
riuer
Halym
)
because
they
originally
were
of
Gallia
,
and
continued
sometime
in
Graecia
,
and
after
came
into
Asia
;
so
he
joyning
these
two
names
into
one
,
called
them
Gallo-Graecians
,
or
Gallatians
.
This
history
is
diuersly
reported
by
diuers
authors
;
but
all
conclude
that
they
rested
and
inhabited
in
Asia
,
where
their
posteritie
continued
to
this
day
.
In
times
past
it
was
a
very
warlike
and
generous
nation
,
and
in
their
expedition
performed
many
noble
exploits
,
attaining
to
eminence
onely
by
their
sword
;
for
which
cause
many
Princes
neere
them
were
beholding
vnto
them
for
their
aide
:
but
withall
,
cruell
and
barbarous
,
insomuch
as
they
oftentimes
eat
their
captiues
or
offered
them
to
their
gods
;
and
thus
they
continued
for
the
space
of
300
yeares
,
till
Paul
comming
into
that
countrey
preached
the
Gospell
amongst
them
,
and
conuerted
them
from
this
Barbarisme
to
the
Christian
faith
.
He
sent
an
Epistle
to
this
people
from
Rome
,
being
1200
miles
.
They
in
those
times
held
all
Paphligonia
,
a
part
of
Phrigia
,
Cappadocia
,
and
of
all
the
neighbouring
countries
thereabouts
,
which
after
their
names
was
called
Gallo
Graecia
or
Galatia
:
such
a
mightie
nation
was
this
growne
in
a
short
time
,
at
first
being
a
people
thrust
out
of
their
owne
countrey
for
want
of
a
place
to
inhabit
in
,
as
you
may
reade
more
at
large
in
the
fifth
booke
of
Liuie
,
whose
authoritie
I
haue
principally
followed
herein
.
Of
Phrygia
.
PHrygia
is
as
much
to
say
as
a
dry
and
sandy
country
,
scituated
in
Asia
the
lesse
between
Galatia
and
Mysia
,
600
miles
from
Ierusalem
Northwestward
.
It
is
diuided
into
two
parts
,
the
greater
and
the
lesse
:
in
the
greater
Phrygia
stood
Smyrna
;
in
the
lesse
Dardania
,
so
called
of
Dardanus
who
first
built
it
:
in
which
town
there
reigned
many
wealthy
&
mighty
Princes
,
as
Ericthonius
,
Tros
of
whom
it
was
called
Troy
,
Ilus
of
whom
it
was
called
Ilion
,
Laomedon
who
was
the
father
of
Priamus
the
last
king
therof
,
for
in
his
time
it
was
destroyed
by
the
Grecians
.
Of
which
desolation
I
will
not
speak
because
it
is
commonly
known
.
It
lay
waste
so
long
(
although
it
had
bin
a
faire
and
goodly
city
,
the
like
not
in
the
world
)
that
the
place
where
it
stood
was
become
like
a
plain
field
,
only
here
and
there
some
heaps
of
old
ruins
,
to
shew
that
there
had
been
a
city
in
that
place
.
And
as
Virgil
said
,
I
am
seges
est
vbi
Troia
fuit
,
Corne
now
growes
where
Troy
stood
.
A
long
time
after
there
were
a
certain
people
that
called
themselues
Trojans
,
who
rebuilt
it
,
but
not
in
the
same
place
,
and
in
it
erected
a
goodly
Temple
in
honour
of
the
goddesse
Pallas
to
the
which
Temple
Alexander
the
Great
(
after
he
had
conquered
Darius
King
of
Persia
close
by
the
riuer
Granicus
,
which
tooke
beginning
in
a
mountain
not
far
from
Troy
)
went
,
and
with
singular
gladnesse
and
great
solemnitie
offered
many
rich
and
goodly
Presents
,
enlarged
the
towne
,
and
greatly
adorned
.
But
after
he
had
ended
the
Persian
war
,
and
conquered
almost
all
the
knowne
world
,
he
sent
very
kinde
and
louing
letters
to
these
new
Trojans
,
promising
not
only
to
inlarge
the
towne
,
and
endow
it
with
ma-priuiledges
and
reuenues
,
but
also
to
build
vp
a
faire
and
sumptuous
Temple
there
,
as
Strabo
lib.
15.
saith
:
all
which
was
done
for
the
loue
he
bore
to
Homers
Iliads
.
Wherefore
looke
what
Alexander
had
promised
,
Lysimachus
(
one
of
his
chiefe
Princes
,
and
King
of
Thrace
)
after
his
death
performed
;
for
he
returned
to
Troy
,
enlarged
the
city
,
beautified
it
with
goodly
buildings
,
set
vp
a
stately
Temple
,
and
then
compast
it
about
with
strong
wals
.
After
this
sort
it
continued
a
long
time
,
vntill
Fimbria
a
Questor
of
the
Romans
(
when
he
had
slaine
Valerius
Flaccus
the
Consull
,
with
whom
hee
was
sent
,
against
Mithridates
King
of
Pontus
)
besieged
it
,
and
within
ten
dayes
space
woon
it
;
making
his
vaunts
,
that
hee
conquered
that
citie
in
ten
dayes
,
which
Agamemnon
could
scarce
do
in
ten
yeares
;
to
which
one
of
the
inhabitants
of
the
citie
answered
,
That
then
Troy
had
a
Hector
,
but
now
it
had
none
.
But
for
this
hee
cruelly
wasted
the
citie
.
This
destruction
hapned
in
the
84
yeare
before
Christ
:
thus
it
lay
desolate
till
Augustus
Caesars
time
,
who
caused
it
again
to
be
re-edified
and
beautified
with
many
faire
and
goodly
buildings
,
because
the
Romanes
,
and
especially
those
noble
families
of
the
Iulij
and
Caesars
,
doe
deriue
their
progenie
from
the
Trojans
:
for
which
cause
Augustus
vsed
such
diligence
in
the
rebuilding
of
this
citie
,
and
bestowed
such
infinit
cost
,
that
he
much
exceeded
Alexander
,
and
made
it
a
faire
and
goodly
citie
.
At
this
day
it
is
called
Ilium
.
But
in
the
place
of
old
Troy
there
is
little
to
bee
seene
,
only
a
small
towne
,
as
Strabo
saith
.
It
is
distant
from
Ierusalem
,
760
miles
,
Northwestward
.
Of
Bythinia
.
THis
countrey
is
opposite
to
Constantinople
,
scituated
in
Asia
minor
,
distant
from
Irusalem
Northwestward
,
and
so
called
of
Bythinus
the
sonne
of
Iupiter
and
Thrax
.
It
was
sometime
called
Pontus
,
Bebrycia
,
and
Mygdonia
,
as
Stephanus
saith
.
In
this
countrey
the
Apostle
Paul
could
not
preach
the
Gospel
of
Christ
when

Macedonia
and
Graecia

hee
was

The
principall
cities
thereof
were
Calcidon
,
Heraclea
,
Nicea
,
Nicomedia
,
Apamea
,
Flauiopolis
,
Libissa
(
where
Hannibal
lieth
buried
)
and
Prusa
,
now
called
Byrsa
,
where
in
times
past
the
Emperours
of
Turkie
kept
their
Courts
,
and
were
buried
.
The
mother
and
metropolis
of
all
these
cities
was
Nicea
,
or
rather
Nicaea
,
beeing
distant
from
Ierusalem
720
miles
towards
the
Northwest
;
at
the
first
called
Antigonia
,
of
Antigonus
the
sonne
of
Philip
King
of
Asia
,
who
built
it
after
the
death
of
Alexander
the
Great
.
But
Lysimachus
called
it
Nicaea
,
after
his
wifes
name
,
and
at
this
day
is
called
Nissa
.
The
compasse
thereof
is
two
miles
,
being
foure
square
,
scituated
(
as
Strabo
saith
lib.
12.
)
in
a
faire
and
pleasant
place
,
lying
close
by
the
poole
of
Ascania
,
and
hath
in
it
4
gates
,
standing
in
a
direct
line
;
al
which
gates
might
easily
haue
beene
seene
from
a
certaine
stone
which
stood
in
the
middle
of
the
Market
place
.
In
this
citie
the
most
Christian
Emperor
Constantine
the
Great
celebrated
a
Councell
,
anno
Dom.
325.
at
which
time
there
were
present
320
Bishops
,
who
condemned
the
Arrian
herisie
,
and
instituted
the
Nicaen
Creed
.
But
after
that
,
viz.
anno
Dom.
326
,
the
Arrians
endeauouring
to
hold
a
second
Councell
in
this
citie
,
to
confirme
their
opinions
,
and
to
dissolue
that
which
went
before
,
the
Lord
hindred
them
with
an
Earthquake
,
by
which
almost
half
the
citie
was
throwne
down
.
Not
long
after
,
there
hapned
another
earthquake
which
vtterly
destroied
it
:
notwithstanding
it
was
rebuilt
again
,
and
in
it
a
second
Councell
held
,
wherein
the
Nicaen
Creed
was
condemned
.
There
were
many
cities
of
this
name
;
that
before
spoken
of
,
another
in
Thrace
,
a
third
in
France
,
not
far
from
the
riuer
Varus
,
a
fourth
(
as
Stephanus
saith
)
is
amongst
the
Lorrenses
in
Graecia
,
a
fift
in
Illeria
,
a

in
India
,
a
seuenth
in

and
the
eighth
in
Leuctris
of

Of
Mysia
.
THis
is
a
country
of
Asia
the
lesse
,
bordring
vpon
Helle
spont
and
Troada
;
being
diuided
into
two
parts
,
that
is
,
the
greater
and
the
lesse
.
That
part
that
bordreth
vpon
Troada
,
is
distant
from
Ierusalem
800
miles
Northwestward
:
but
that
which
is
called
Mysia
the
lesse
,
and
bordring
vpon
Lydia
,
is
1028
miles
from
Ierusalem
Northwestward
.
In
this
countrey
stood
Pergamus
,
to
which
Iohn
wrote
his
Reuelation
;
Scepsis
where
one
Neleus
kept
the
bookes
of
Aristotle
til
Apollonius
time
,
also
Antandrus
,
Adramitium
,
Tranoiapolis
,
and
Apollinia
,
which
stood
close
by
the
riuer
Thyndaeus
.
The
inhabitants
were
men
of
a
base
condition
,
and
contemned
of
the
world
,
insomuch
as
they
became
a
prouerbe
,
as
often
as
a
man
would
denote
a
thing
of
no
estimation
,
they
would
say
Vltimum
esse
Mysiorum
,
that
is
,
It
is
worse
than
the
Mysians
,
as
it
appeareth
in
Cicero's
oration
for
Flaccus
.
Yet
notwithstanding
,
Paul
and
Iohn
the
Euangelist
preached
the
doctrine
and
light
of
the
Gospell
to
this
poore
and
despised
people
,
so
that
the
Mysians
,
which
were
a
contemptible
and
abhominable
nation
before
all
the
world
,
were
not
so
before
God
,
for
they
were
conuerted
at
the
preaching
of
Iohn
and
Paul
:
From
whence
he
saith
,
Not
many
wise
according
to
the
flesh
,
not
many
mightie
,
not
many
noble
;
but
God
hath
chosen
the
foolish
things
of
this
world
,
that
they
might
confute
and
ouerthrow
the
wise
,
&c.

In
times
past
they
were
a
great
people
,
though
of
smal
estimation
,
for
they
had
vnder
their
iurisdiction
,
Lydia
,
Caria
,
Pergamus
,
Thyatira
,
Sardis
,
Philidelphia
,
and
Laodicea
;
to
many
of
which
Iohn
wrote
his
Revelation
.
Also
(
as
Herodotus
saith
,
Lib.
7.
)
the
Mysians
and
Teucrians
,
before

Of

THis

fortunate
)
from

stood
vpon
the
sea
of
Hellespont
in
Asia
the
lesse
720
miles
from
Ierusalem
Northwestward
.
Antigonus
king
of
Asia
called
it
Troas
,
because
it
was
in
the
countrey
where
Troy
was
.
But
after
the
death
of
Alexander
he
called
it
after
his
owne
name
Antigonia
:
And
the
better
to
honour
it
,
kept
his
court
there
.
But
Lysimachus
King
of
Thrace
hauing
got
this
city
into
his
iurisdiction
,
bestowed
great
cost
vpon
it
,
and
set
vp
many
fair
and
goodly
buildings
,
then
called
it
after
Alexanders
name
,
Alexandria
,
and
so
it
began
to
be
called
Alexandria
Troas
,
Plin.
lib.
5.
Strabo
,
l.
13.
Ier
de
locis
Hebraicis
.
Now
it
was
called
Alexandria
Troas
to
put
a
difference
between
it
and
diuers
other
cities
of
that
name
:
for
there
was
an
Alexandria
in
Aegypt
,
another
in
India
,
and
many
others
elsewhere
;
but
only
this
in
the
countrey
where
Troy
stood
.
It
was
scituated
in
a
high
and
spacious
mountaine
,
about
a
mile
and
a
halfe
from
the
shore
of
Propontus
towards
the
East
,
between
which
&
Troads
is
twentie
and
eight
miles
.
It
is
a
thing
worthy
obseruation
,
to
consider
by
what
diuers
names
the
sea
that
lies
between
Europe
and
Asia
the
lesse
is
called
,
for
betweene
Constantinople
and
Calcidonia
,
close
by
the
Euxine
sea
it
is
called
Thracius
Bosphorus
,
in
which
place
it
is
not
aboue
halfe
a
mile
broad
:
here
Xerxes
when
he
inuaded
Graecia
,
built
vp
a
bridge
for
his
army
to
passe
ouer
.
There
is
also
another
strait
and
narrow
place
in
this
sea
,
which
is
called
by
the
name
of
Cimmerius
Bosphorius
.
These
two
Bosphori
are
so
called
(
as
some
authors
hold
)
because
a
Bull
when
he
loweth
may
be
heard
from
the
one
side
to
the
other
:
but
Pliny
seemeth
to
deriue
the
name
from
Io
,
that
faire
maid
which
Iupiter
turned
into
a
Cow
,
who
swam
ouer
this
sea
,
and
of
her
was
called
Bosphorus
,

It
is
also
called
Propontus
,
because
it
lieth
just
before
the
Euxine
sea
;
and
Hellespont
from
Helle
the
daughter
of
Athamantis
K.
of
Thebes
who
was
drowned
therein
:
then
running
thence
it
falleth
into
a
gulph
of
the
Mediterranean
Ocean
,
&
there
it
is
called
the
Aegean
sea
,
of
Aegeus
King
of
Athens
,
who
drowned
himselfe
therein
for
the
supposed
losse
of
his
sonne
Theseus
.
In
this
sea
were
scituate
the
Isles
of
Pathmos
,
Mytelene
,
Samothrace
,

eight
hundred

eightie
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
Northwest
,
close
to
that
part
of
Thracia
,
where
Hebrus
falleth
into
the
sea
;
sometimes
called
Dardania
,
of
Dardanus
King
of
Troy
,
who
when
hee
had
slaine
his
brother
Iacius
,
and
taken
from
him
the
Palladiam
,
he
came
first
into
Samothracia
,
and
then
into
Asia
,
where
he
first
laid
the
foundation
of
the
citie
called
Troy
,
and
of
that
Kingdome
.
And
although
this
Isle
at
that
time
was
called
Dardania
,
yet
because
of
the
neerenes
that
it
had
to
Thrace
,
and
the
altitude
of
the
rocke
whereon
it
stood
,
it
soone
changed
the
name
:
and
then
especially
,
when
the
people
called
Samos
came
thither
to
inhabit
,
who
after
their
own
name
called
it
Samothracia
.
It
stood
vpon
such
a
loftie
place
,
that
from
thence
all
the
countries
round
about
might
easily
bee
seen
.
Arsinoë
Queene
of
Thrace
was
banished
by
Ptolomeus
her
brother
,
into
this
Island
,
who
after
put
to
death
all
her
children

Samian-Troy
,
which
now

call'd

Strabo
also
writeth
of
it
,
li.

And
in
Acts
16.
it
is
said
,
S.
Paul
sailed
from
Troad
is
to
Samothracia
,
&
so
went
thence
into
Thracia
and
came
to
the
city
of
Neapolis
.
Of
Neapolis
.
THis
Neapolis
to
which
Paul
went
,
was
a
city
of
Thrace
not
far
from
Macedoni
,
880
miles
from
Ierusalem
Northwestward
,
called
also
of
some
Caurus
.
There
are
many
other
Cities
of
this
name
;
one
in
Iudea
,
where
Sichem
and
Sichar
stood
;
another
in
Caria
,
a
third
in
Africa
,
a
fourth
in
Pannonia
;
but
aboue
all
,
that
which
stands
in
Campania
is
most
remarkable
being
the
chiefe
city
of
the
Neapolitan
kingdome
.
Of
Philippa
.
THis
city
in
times
past
was
called
Crenides
,
because
of
the
veins
of
gold
that
were
found
close
by
it
.
But
after
,
Philip
King
of
Macedon
,
father
of
Alexander
the
Great
,
caused
it
in
the
yeare
before
Christ
354
,
to
bee
re-edified
and
inlarged
,
and
then
after
his
own
name
called
it
Philippos
.
It
was
scituated
in
Grecia
close
by
the
riuer
Stridon
,
936
miles
from
Ierusalem
toward
the
Northwest
)
and
endowed
with
many
priuiledges
.
In
those
times
the
gold
was
so
much
increased
in
this
place
,
that
the
reuenue
thereof
was
worth
vnto
this
King
more
than
a
thousand
Talents
,
which
at
4500
li.
the
talent
,
amounteth
to
forty
fiue
Millions
of
pounds
yearely
.
By
the
which
means
King
Philip
grew
so
rich
,
that
he
caused
his
gold
to
be
coined
,
and
called
it
after
his
owne
name
,
Philippian
gold
.
To
this
place
Paul
came
,
and
did
many
miracles
,
taught
the
Gospell
,
and
conuerted
many
.
From
hence
he
wrote
his
second
Epistle
to
the
Corinthians
,
and
sent
it
to
Corinth
;
euen
292
miles
.
He
also
wrote
an
Epistle
from
Rome
to
the
Christians
of
this
Towne
,
and
sent
it
them
by
the
hands
of
Epaphroditus
,
euen
628
miles
.
It
was
afterward
a
Colony
of
the
Romans
.
Of
Amphipolis

THis
was
a
city
of
Macedonia
,
compassed
about
with
the
riuer
Strymon
,
from
whence
it
tooke
the
name
;
and
was

There
are
many
other
Cities
of

Of
Thessalonia
or
Thessalonica
.
THis
was
a
citie
of
Macedon
,
in
ancient
times
called
Halia
,
because
it
stood
vpon
the
sea
;
after
,
called
Therma
,
of
the
hot
bathes
that
were
in
it
;
and
lastly
,
Thessalonica
,
of
Philip
the
sonne
of
Amyntas
King
of
the
Macedonians
,
who
gaue
it
that
name
either
of
the
great
victory
that
he
had
against
the
Thessalonians
,
or
else
after
the
name
of
his
daughter
called
Thessalonica
,
who
was
the
mother
of
Cassandrus
:
it
stood
close

,
not
farre
from
the
mouth
of
the
riuer
Echedorus
,
932
miles
from

The
Apostle
Paul
taught
publiquely
in
this
city
,
and
there
conuerted
a
great
multitude
of
people
,
Act.

Hee
also
wrote
two
Epistles
to
the
inhabitants
thereof
,
and
sent
them
from
Athens
,
being
232
miles
distant
.
In
the
time
of
Theodosius
the
first
,
Emperor
of
Rome
,
there
hapned
by
reason
of
some
discontent
,
a
grieuous
sedition
amongst
the
Thessalonians
,
in
which
stirre
some
of
his
captains
&
gouernors
were
slain
.
Wherefore
the
Emperor
(
hauing
intelligence
of
what
had
hapned
)
sent
an
army
against
the
city
,
with
authority
to
put
to
death
a
certain
number
of
those
who
had
rebelled
:
whence
it
hapned
that
the
city
was
filled
with
many
vniust
slaughters
:
for
the
soldiers
respecting
more
their
priuat
profit
than
the
equitie
of
the
cause
,
spared
neither
innocent
nor
nocent
,
yong
nor
old
;
so
that
as
well
the
inhabitants
as
strangers
that
resorted
thither
did
partake
of
this
miserie
,
and
suffered
like
punishment
as
did
they
which
were
the
first
authors
of
this
rebellion
.
But
because
the
emperor
was
consenting
vnto
these
euils
,
Ambrose
Bishop
of
Millaine
would
not
suffer
him
without
publique
repentance
to
come
to
the
sacrament
of
the
Lords
supper
:
wherefore
in
a
publique
assembly
hee
acknowledged
his
offence
with
great
contrition

23

is
inhabited
both
by
Christians

saith

but
the
greatest

is
Iews

who
are
partly
merchants

partly
of

their
number
in
this

(
as
it
is
said
by
some
of

is
14000
,

There
are
many
Iewes
also
in
Constantinople
and
Adrianople
;
but
in
no
place
more
than
in
this
town
,
which
is
now
called
Salonica
.
Of
Berraea
.
THis
is
a
city
of
Macedon
,
scituated
vpon
the
riuer
of
Halakmon
,
960
miles
from
Ierusalem
Northwestward
.
In
this
city
the
Iewes
stirred
vp
a
great
tumult
and
sedition
against
the
Apostle
Paul
,
Acts
17.
At
this
day
it
it
is
called
Voria
.
Of
Athens
.
THis
was
the
most
famous
City
of
all
Grecia
,
the
mother
of
Arts
,
and
a
bountifull
nourisher
of
large
and
mighty
Colonies
,
in
that
part
of
Achaia
called
Acte
or
Attica
.
It
was
scituated
vpon
the
shore
of
the
Mediterranian
sea
,
720
miles
from
Ierusalem
Westward
.
It
tooke
name
from

It
was
first
built
by
Cecrops
,
fiue
yeares
before
Moses
fled
out
of
Egypt
into
the
land
of
the
Midianites
,
and
of
him
called
Cecropia
.
This
Cecrops
was
the
first
King
thereof
,
and
there
succeeded
him
at
least
40
,
both
famous
&
worthy
princes
.
But
after
it
was
called
Mopsonia
,
of
Mopsus
K.
of
Thessaly
:
and
after
Ionia
,
which
name
it
held
for
a
while
:
and
lastly
Athens
,
dedicated
to
Pallas
(
which
goddesse
the
Grecians
say
was
born
of
the
brain
of
Iupiter
)
which
name
it
held
a
long
time
after
.
There
liued
in
this
city
Solon
,
Socrates
,
Plato
,
Aristotle
,
Demosthenes
,
and
many
other
excellent
Philosophers
.
It
was
scituated
vpon
a
faire
and
strong
Rocke
,
beautified
with
many
goodly
Temples
and
buildings
;
but
principally
that
of
Minerva
was
most
sumptuous
,
in
which
there
hung
a
great
number
of
Lampes
,
which
gaue
a
continuall
light
.
There
was
also
the
Monasterie
of
the
holy
Virgins
,
and
the
image
of
Pallas
made
all
of
white
Ivorie
very
curious
and
costly
.
There
were
many
Schools
,
Colledges
,
and
pleasant
gardens
in
which
Philosophers
vsed
to
walk
,
and
it
abounded
with
sweet
and
delectable
musick
,
and
with
great
resort
of
Merchants
and
Schollers
.
To
conclude
,
in
those
times
it
was
the
most
notable
city
in
the
world
.
Moreouer
,
there
were
many
profitable
hauens
for
the
receit
of
ships
,
but
that
which
was
called

ships
;
beautified
with
many
goodly
buildings
,
in
compasse
two
miles
,
fortified
with
seuen
walls
,
and
ioyning
to
the
city
(
wherof
Terence
writeth
in
Eunuch
.
Act.
3.
Scen.

)
At
this
day
it
is
called
Porto
Lini
,
fortified
with
two
wals
foure
miles
in
length
,
extending
to
the
hill
Munichya
,
the
syrname
of
Diana
(
being
compassed
in
the
figure
of
a
Chersonesse
,
&
so
ioyned
to
the
city
of
Athens
.
In
which
distance
there
are
two
other
hauens
besides
that
of
Piraeum
.
In
this
Iupiter
had
a
magnificent
Temple
,
and
in
it
were
found
many
artificiall
tables
,
pictures
,
and
grauen
images
,
all
which
are
at
this
day
destroied
and
carried
away
.
It
hath
beene
three
times
destroyed
;
first
by
Xexes
and
Mardonius
,
which
happened
in
the
yeare
before
Christ
479.
Then
by
Lysander
,
who
broke
downe
an
hundred
paces
of
the
wall
,
and
almost
vtterly
destroyed
their
ships
,
and
broke
downe
the
hauen
of
Peraea
.
It
was
also
sore
oppressed
by
the
Romans
,
and
they
also
brake
downe
their
hauen
and
burnt
their
shippes
,
but
spared
the
towne
,
and
held
it
in
great
estimation
.
But
it
was
the
third
time
ouerthrowne
and
vtterly
destroyed
by
the
Turks
,
who
both
changed
the
place
and
name
of
the
city
,
after
it
had
flourished
3113
yeares
.
At
this
day
it
is
diuided
into
three
parts
,
and
called
by
the
name
of
Sethina
,
because
of
the
varietie
of
the
inhabitants
that
liue
in
it
,
being
very
well
peopled
,
and
a
faire
and
spatious
City
,
but
much
altered
from
that
it
was
in
times
past
.
For
although
before
it
was
the
very
mother
of
eloquence
,
and
glory
of
Attica
,
yet
at
this
day
it
is
so
much
altered
,
that
their
language
is
base
,
and
their
glory
is
eclipsed
.
The
vppermost
part
of
the
city
,
where
formerly
the
temple
stood
dedicated
to
the
vnknown
God
,
is
now
wholly
and
absolutely
in
the
hands
of
the
Turkes
,
in
which
they
haue
built
a
strong
and
almost
inuincible
Castle
,
which
hath
the
command
of
the
rest
of
the
towne
.
The
second
and
middle
part
of
the
towne
is
all
inhabited
by
Christians
.
In
the
third
there
standeth
a
fair
and
goodly
Palace
,
supported
with
marble
pillars
,
and
adorned
with
goodly
workes
.
In
this
part
of
the
City
there
inhabiteth
people
of
diuers
sects
and
conditions
.
And
heere
also
is
the
seat
of
a
Metropolitane
,
who
hath
vnder
him
many
Bishops
.
So
that
God
doth
support
and
maintaine
his
Church
euen
amongst
the
enemies
thereof
;
for
there
ate
four
Patriarks
in
Turky
,
to
which
al
the
other
Christian
Metroplitans
and
Bishops
are
subiect
;
viz.
the
Patriarch
of
Alexandria
,
Constantinople
,
Antiochia
,
and
Ierusalem
.
Paul
was
the
first
man
that
preached
the
Gospell
of
Christ
in
this
city
,
and
conuerted
many
citisens
,
but
especially
Dionysius
the
Areopagite
,
who
dwelt
vpon
a
promontory
without
the
city
,
and
as
it
seems
was
one
of
the
principal
Iudges
and
gouernors
of
the
town
;
for
after
he
had
taught
publiquely
in
the
towne
,
&
had
disputed
against
the
Iewes
and
Philosophers
concerning
Christ
,
they
supposing
him
to
be
a
busie
fellow
,
and
one
worthy
of
death
as
a
disturber
of
the
common
peace
,
brought
him
before
this
Dionysius
,
that
so
by
his
iudgement
he
might
receiue
condign
punishment
for
his
offence
.
But
S.
Paul
so
well
behaued
himselfe
,
and
preached
with
such
admirable
eloquence
and
learning
,
that
hee
not
only
confuted
his
enemies
,
but
among
others
conuerted
this
Dionysius
Areopagitus
,
who
was
afterwards
the
first
Bishop
of
Athens
(
as
Euseb.
saith
,
lib.
4.
cap.
23.
)
and
went
captiue
with
Paul
to
Rome
,
and
from
thence
to
Paris
in
France
,
where
he
suffered
martyrdome
vnder
Dionysius
the
Emperor
.
Of
Corinthia
.
COrinthus
is
a
famous
city
in
Grecia
,
scituated
in
Peloponessus
a
pleasant
countrey
of
Achaia
,
ioyning
to
the
continent
of
Grecia
like
an
Isthmus
or
Peninsula
,
distant
from
Ierusalem
760
miles
towards
the
West
,
commonly
called
Corantha
,
built
(
as
Eusebius
saith
)
by
Sisiphus
sonne
of
Aeolus
,
at
such
time
as
Ioshuah
gouerned
Israel
;
who
was
a
mighty
Pirat
.
At
first
it
was
but
a
castle
,
and
called
after
his
name
Sisiphyus
:
but
after
,
because
of
the
strength
of
the
place
,
and
pleasant
scituation
,
it
became
a
faire
towne
,
and
called
by
the
name
of
Corcyra
,
as
Strabo
faith
;
then
Ephym
,
of
Ephyra
,
who
was
a
faire
and
goodly
Nymph
,
and
Queen
of
that
place
.
Now
although
euen
in
those
times
it
was
held
in
great
estimation
,
yet
it
became
much
wasted
and
decayed
through
the
continuance
of
time
,
vntill
it
was
repaired
by
King
Corinthus
(
who
as
some
thinke
was
the
sonne
of
Marathon
Suidas
saith
,
the
sonne
of
Pelops
;
others
would
haue
him
the
sonne
of
Orestis
:
and
after
his
name
was
called
Corinth
,
that
is
,
The
floure
of
Maides
.
It
was
a
faire
and
goodly
citie
,
very
commodiously
built
,
for
it
stood
betweene
the
two
seas
of
Ionium
and
Aegeum
,
so
that
there
resorted
thither
great
multitude
of
Merchants
from
all
places
,
Close
by
the
citie
there
stood
a
steepe
mountaine
,
which
was
as
it
were
a
bulwarke
for
the
defence
thereof
,
being
560
feet
high
,
and
called
Acrocorinthus
,
that
is
,
the
glory
and
strength
of
the
Corinthians
.
It
was
also
compassed
about
with
strong
walls
,
and
beautified
with
many
goodly
buildings
and
temples
,
but
aboue
the
rest
,
the
Temple
of
Venus
was
had
in
great
reputation
,
which
(
as
Strabo
saith
)
stood
vpon
the
top
of
the
mountaine
Acrocorinthus
,
wherein
there
were
aboue
a
thousand
Maides
prostituted
euery
yeare
.
This
Temple
was
had
in
such
great
honour
,
and
was
so
gloriously
built
,
that
aboue
all
the
places
of
the
world
there
was
resort
vnto
it
.
Close
by
it
stood
the
ancient
castle
called
Sysyphius
,
built
all
of
white
Marble
;
and
a
little
below
that
,
the
fountaine
of
Pyrene
dedicated
to
the
Muses
.
There
were
many
mightie
Princes
that
ruled
in
this
citie
,
as
Alethes
who
was
King
thereof
at
such
time
as
Samuel
judged
Israel
,
which
was
1103
yeares
before
Christ
;
hee
bestowed
great
cost
vpon
it
,
set
vp
many
faire
and
goodly
buildings
,
and
ruled
ouer
it
thirtie
and
fiue
yeares
,
as
Eusebius
saith
.
After
him
there
succeeded
many
Kings
,
by
whose
worthinesse
and
prowesse
it
was
so
much
inlarged
,
and
made
so
famous
,
that
it
was
little
inferiour
to
the
citie
of
Rome
:
for
at
such
time
as
Embassadors
were
sent
thence
to
intreate
of
some
businesse
concerning
the
state
,
the
Corinthians
did
not
let
to
giue
them
many
reprochfull
tearmes
,
as
Strabo
saith
,
lib.
8.
because
of
which
insolencie
the
Romans
sent
Lucius
Mummus
the
Consul
,
into
Graetia
,
who
besieged
Corinth
,
and
within
a
short
time
tooke
it
,
and
burnt
it
downe
to
the
ground
,
in
the
yeare
before
Christ
,
145
,
of
which
you
may
reade
more
in
Florus
,
and
in
the
second
Decad
of
Lyuie
.
It
was
a
maruellous
rich
Towne
,
and
abounded
with
gold
,
siluer
,
and
costly
brasse
,
also
with
plate
,
and
curious
pictures
:
so
that
although
Mummius
conquered
Corinth
,
yet
Corinth
conquered
Rome
;
for
the
citizens
thereof
were
so
bewitched
with
the
riches
and
glory
of
this
towne
,
that
they
forgot
their
ancient
seueritie
,
and
with
violence
followed
their
vices
,
as
Salust
saith
,
lib.
1.
So
that
as
before
Corinth
abounded
with
luxurie
and
diuers
other
abhominable
euils
,
as
whoredome
,
adulterie
,
fornication
,
couetousnes
,
idolatry
,
rapine
,
and
murther
:
so
Rome
in
future
ages
became
as
bad
or
worse
than
it
.
Thus
it
continued
waste
from
that
time
till
Iulius
Caesar
was
Emperour
of
Rome
,
who
hauing
trauelled
into
those
parts
of
the
world
,
and
seene
the
ruines
of
this
citie
,
and
the
profitale
scituation
for
traffique
,
caused
it
to
be
rebuilded
:
after
which
time
it
began
to
grow
great
&
spacious
,
little
inferiour
to
the
former
in
glory
,
and
no
lesse
corrupted
with
vices
,
hauing
forgot
the
former
miserie
which
it
sustained
by
the
hands
of
the
Romans
;
and
so
continued
from
the
yeare
before
Christ
44
,
vntill
the
yeare
after
Christ
41
,
at
which
time
Paul
came
thither
&
preached
the
Gospell
,
by
whose
diuine
doctrine
and
godly
life
and
conuersation
,
they
were
conuerted
from
their
euill
courses
,
and
liued
more
holily
and
honestly
,
as
appeareth
by
the
two
Epistles
of
Saint
Paul
wrote
from
Philippos
to
the
inhabitants
of
this
towne
.
But
after
,
they
falling
from
their
faith
and
forsaking
their
ancient
integritie
,
the
Lord
punished
them
with
a
second
desolation
;
for
at
such
time
as
Amurath
Emperor
of
the
Turkes
grew
to
eminencie
,
and
had
conquered
Thessalonica
,
Boaetia
,
and
Attica
,
he
came
into
this
Isthums
,
and
made
all
Peloponessus
tributary
to
him
.
Then
after
him
Mahomet
the
second
(
although
the
inhabitants
of
Corinth
had
fortified
their
citie
with
three
walls
,
and
made
it
so
strong
that
it
was
thought
to
be
almost
inuincible
)
besieged
it
and
woon
it
,
An.
Dom.
1458.
about
six
yeares
after
Constantinople
was
conquered
by
the
Turkes
.
But
now
it
is
in
the
command
of
the
Venetians
,
and
that
,
and
all
the
countrey
is
called
by
the
name
of
Morea
,
as
it
appeareth
in
the
Turkish
Historie

The
fourth
peregrination
of
the
Apostle
Paul
.
IN
the
yeare
after
the
Natiuitie
of
Christ
,
53
,
Paul
went
from
Antiochia
in
Syria
,
and
came
to
Galatia
,
and
Laodicia
in
Phrygia
,
and
thence
wrote
his
Epistle
to
Timothy
,
as
it
appeareth
by
the
subscription
of
that
Epistle
,
which
was
380
miles
.
From
Laodicea
hee
went
to
Ephesus
,
which
was
280
miles
;
and
there
appointed
Timothy
to
be
a
Bishop
,
and
daily
disputed
in
the
schoole
of
a
certaine
Tyrant
,
and
did
many
miracles
,
as
it
appeareth
,
Acts
19.
From
Ephesus
he
came
to
Troada
,
which
was
200

,
where
when
he
could
not
find
Titus
he
was
troubled
in
spirit

From
Troada
hee
sailed
into
Macedonia
,
and
came
to
Philippos
,
which
was
232

:
from
hence
hee
wrote
his
Epistles
to
the
Corinthians
,
and
sent
them
to
Corinth
,
which
was
292
miles
.
In
the
same
yeare
also
,
Paul
passing
through
Graecia
,
(
in
euery
place
where
he
came
,
preaching
and
visiting
the
churches
,
Act.
19.
)
at
length
came
to
Corinthus
,
which
was
480
miles
.
In
the
57
yeare
after
the
Natiuitie
of
Christ
,
when
Paul
had
wintred
among
the
Corinthians
;
in
the
Spring
(
that
hee
might
auoyd
the
deceits
of
the
Iewes
who
went
about
to
take
away
his
life
,
hee
went
thence
and
returned
to
Philippos
,
which
was
292
miles
,
where
he
celebrated
the
feast
of
Penticost
,
Acts

From
thence
he
sailed
to
Troada
,
which
was
232

where
he
raised
Eutichus
from

to
Samus
,
which
was
60
miles
,
and
continued
in
the
Isle
of
Trogylius
which
was
close
by
Samus
,
as
Pl.
saith
,
lib.
5.
cap.
3.
and
Strabo
,
cap.
13.
From
Trogylius
hee
sailed
by
Ephesus
,
and
came
to
Miletus
,
which
was
160
miles
.
From
thence
hee
sent
Messengers
to
the
Ministers
of
Ephesus
,
commanding
them
to
haue
a
speciall
care
to
the
flocke
of
Christ
,
which
he
had
purchased
with
his
pretious
bloud
;
and
added
that
he
was
so
much
the
more
importunate
in
that
behalfe
because
they
should
neuer
see
him
againe
:
Wherefore
they
embraced
Paul
with
great
lamentations
and
sorrow
,
Acts
2.
From
Myletus
he
&
his
companions
went
with
a
direct
course
to
the
Island
of
Cous
,
which
was
200
miles
,
Acts
21.
From
thence
the
next
day
they
went
to
Rhodes
,
which
was
84
miles
.
From
Rhodes
they
went
to
Patara
,
which
was
100
miles
.
From
Patara
they
sayled
to
Tyrus
,
leauing
Cyprus
vpon
the
left
hand
,
which
was
360
miles
,
where
hee
found
certaine
Disciples
,
and
remained
there
seuen
daies
,
Acts
21.
From
Tyrus
Paul
and
his
companions
sailed
to
Ptolomais
,
which
was
24
miles
.
From
thence
they
came
to
Caesarea
Strato
,
which
was
44
miles
;
there
they
remained
in
the
house
of
Philip
the
Euangelist
,
who
was
one
of
the
seuen
Deacons
with
Stephen
,
Acts
21.
From
thence
Paul
went
to
Ierusalem
,
which
was
32
miles
,
and
there
about
the
feast
of
Penticost
he
was
taken
by
the
Iewes
,
imprisoned
and
scourged
,
Acts
21.
At
this
time
Paul
was
about
47
yeares
of
age
.
So
all
these
Trauels
were
3396
miles
.
Of
the
townes
and
places
to
which
he
trauelled
.
And
first
of
Assus
.
COncerning
Laodicea
to
which
Paul
trauelled
you
may
reade
before
.
I
will
therefore
proceed
to
Assus
,
which
was
a
towne
within
the
jurisdiction
of
Troada
,
scituated
close
by
the
Aegean
sea
,
700
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
North-East
,
as
Strabo
saith
,
(
Lib.
13.
)
wonderfully
fortified
both
by
nature
and
art
,
so
that
it
is
a
thing
almost
impossible
to
be
conquered
.
There
is
found
close
by
it
the
stone
called
Sarchophagus
,
in
which
if
any
mans
corps
be
buried
,
within
the
space
of
40
daies
it
is
vtterly
consumed
all
but
the
teeth
,
as
Pliny
saith
,
li.

In
this
citie
Cleantes
the
Stoicke
was
borne
,
as
Chrysippus
saith
.
Of
Mitylene
.
THe
Isle
and
towne
of
Mitylene
is
scituated
in
the
Aegean
sea
,
624
miles
from
Ierusalem
toward
the
Northwest
.
In
times
past
called
Lesbus
,
which
obtained
the
whole
jurisdiction
&
gouernment
of
Troada
.
It
is
in
compasse
136
miles
,
and
containeth
in
length
from
the
North
to
the
South
56
miles
.
In
it
is
found
much
matter
for
the
making
and
calking
of
ships
:
there
was
many
goodly
cities
in
it
,
as
Mitylene
and
Pyrrha
,
which
stood
vpon
the
West
part
of
it
;
also
the
Metropolitan
called
Lesbos
,
Eressus
,
the
hauen
of
Antissa
,
and
Mithymna
.
Of
Lesbos
in
times
past
this
whole
Isle
was
called
Lesbus
,
vntill
the
citie
of
Mitylene
grew
famous
;
being
so
called
of
Mitylene
the
daughter
of
Macharus
,
as
Diodorus
saith
,
lib.
4.
and
after
that
cities
name
it
was
called
Mitylene
.
There
were
many
other
goodly
cities
which
stood
in
this
Isle
,
but
they
were
either
consumed
by
earthquakes
or
drowned
by
the
sea
.
The
land
thereof
was
very
pleasant
and
fruitfull
,
bringing
forth
grapes
,
whereof
there
was
a
very
excellent
and
cleere
wine
made
,
which
they
of
Constantinople
principally
liked
:
there
is
also
found
great
store
of
Cypresse
,
Pines
,
and
plenty
of
figs
come
thence
.
Their
horses
are
very
strong
,
but
of
a
low
stature
:
it
is
very
mountainy
,
and
pestred
with
wild
beasts
.
There
were
many
famous
men
that
liued
and
were
borne
in
this
country
;
as
Pittachus
one
of
the
seuen
Wise-men
of
Graece
,
Aliaeus
the
Poet
,
and
Alcimenides
his
brother
,
Diophanes
the
Orator
,
and
Theophanes
who
wrote
the
acts
of
Pompey
the
Great
,
(
as
it
appeareth
in
Tullies
Oration
for
Archia
)
Theophrastus
also
that
notable
Philosopher
,
(
who
at
first
was
called
Tyrtamanus
,
then
Euphrastus
,
that
it
,
a
good
Orator
)
and
lastly
,
Theophrastus
,
that
is
,
a
diuine
Orator
:
this
man
was
an
excellent
Perapateticke
,
and
scholler
to
Aristotle
,
whom
he
succeeded
in
his
schoole
,
and
had
two
thousand
schollers
.
Vitruvius
the
Architect
maketh
mention
of
Mitylen
in
his
first
booke
,
saying
that
it
was
a
very
magnificent
city
,
and
rarely
builded
,
but
very
badly
scituated
,
for
when
the
South
winde
did
blow
,
the
inhabitants
grew
sicke
;
when
the
West
,
they
coughed
,
and
when
the
North
wind
did
blow
they
were
made
well
.
Notwithstanding
the
Apostle
Paul
and
his
companions
came
to
this
citie
,
as
it
appeareth
,
Acts
20.
At
this
day
it
is
vnder
the
iurisdiction
of
the
Turkes
,
and
is
called
by
the
name
of
Midilly
.
Of
Chius
.
THis
is
an
Isle
scituated
in
the
Aegean
sea
,
distant
from
Ierusalem
600
miles
towards
the
Northwest
,
being
112
miles
in
compasse
;
the
principall
citie
thereof
is
called
Chios
,
taking
the
name
,
as
some
say
from
the
Masticke
tree
,
which
sweateth
out
a
certaine
gum
,
of
the
Syrians
called
Chian
,
and
by
vs
Mastick
:
this
Mastick
is
the
best
in
those
parts
of
the
world
.
Ephorus
calleth
it
by
the
antient
name
Aetalia
;
but
Cleobulus
,
Chia
;
either
because
of
the
Nymph
called
Chion
,
or
else
because
of
the
whitenesse
of
the
soile
:
there
are
others
that
call
it
Patyusia
;
and
there
are
some
who
deriue
the
name
of
Chius
from
the
temple
of
Apollo
that
standeth
in
it
,
called
Chion
.
There
stands
in
it
a
faire
and
goodly
mountaine
called
Pellenaeum
,
from
whence
the
inhabitants
dig
very
excellent
marble
.
Also
in
times
past
the
best
Malmsey
came
thence
,
but
in
these
daies
it
is
brought
from
Creet
.
Of
Samus
.
THis
is
an
Isle
and
Citie
scituated
in
the
Aegean
Sea
,
vpon
a
high
or
loftie
piece
of
ground
,
so
that
from
thence
the
inhabitants
may
see
into
all
the
Countries
neere
adjoyning
,
lying
vpon
the
coast
of
Ephesus
and
Ionia
,
560
miles
from
Ierusalem
toward
the
Northwest
;
it
was
in
compasse
88
miles
,
very
fertile
and
pleasant
,
much
exceeding
Chius
,
although
it
brought
forth
no
Wine
.
In
times
past
it
was
called
Artemisia
,
Parthenea
,
and
Stephane
;
taking
those
names
from
a
crowne
or
wreath
of
sweet
smelling
floures
,
of
which
there
were
great
plenty
in
this
Isle
:
the
Poëts
feigne
that
Iuno
was
both
borne
and
brought
vp
in
it
;
and
Varro
saith
,
That
there
was
a
faire
and
stately
Temple
dedicated
vnto
her
,
where
solemne
seruice
and
the
rites
of
Marriage
were
yearely
celebrated
.
Pythagoras
the
Philosopher
was
borne
here
;
and
one
of
the
Sybels
(
which
prophecied
of
the
comming
of
Christ
)
liued
here
.
S.
Paul
also
came
to
this
Isle
,
and
conuerted
many
,
as
appeareth
,
Acts
20.
There
is
another
Isle
called
Samus
,
scituated
vpon
the
coast
of
Epirus
,
not
far
from
the
gulph
of
Ambracius
,
called
also
Cephalenia
,
not
far
from
the
promontorie
of
Actium
,
where
Augustus
ouercame
Antonius
;
in
honour
of
which
victory
he
built
vp
a
citie
and
called
it
Nicapolis
,
&c.
Of
Trogyllium
.
THis
is
a
promontorie
and
town
not
far
from
Ephesus
,
scituared
in
Asia
minor
,
at
the
foot
of
the
Mountaine
Mycales
,
foure
miles
and
somewhat
more
from
Samus
,
where
Paul
staied
,
Act.
20.
It
is
distant
from
Ierusalem
460
miles
toward
the
Northwest
.
There
are
which
say
,
that
S.
Paul
staied
at
a
certaine
Isle
joining
close
to
this
promontory
,
called
after
that
,
by
the
name
of
Trogylium
,
See
Strabo
,
lib.
14.
Of
Myletus
.
THis
was
a
famous
city
,
scituated
vpon
the
borders
of
Ionia
and
Caesaria
,
close
by
the
shore
of
the
Aegean
sea
,
104
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
Northwest
.
The
Poëts
fein
,
that
Miletus
,
who
was
the
first
builder
of
this
citie
,
was
the
son
of
Apollo
,
and
called
it
after
his
owne
name
Myletus
:
but
Strabo
,
lib.
12.
thinketh
that
it
was
rather
built
by
Sarpedon
the
sonne
of
Iupiter
,
and
brother
to
Radamanthus
and
Minos
,
and
by
him
was
called
Myletus
,
from
another
Citie
of
the
same
name
,
which
stood
in
Crete
.
The
wooll
that
commeth
from
this
towne
is
wonderfull
soft
,
and
singular
good
for
many
purposes
;
but
it
was
principally
vsed
to
make
cloth
of
,
which
they
died
into
an
excellent
purple
and
transported
into
many
places
.
There
were
many
famous
men
that
either
liued
or
were
borne
in
this
towne
;
as
Thales
Milesius
one
of
the
seuen
Wise-men
of
Graece
,
Anaximander
,
who
was
his
scholler
,
Anaximenes
and
Hecataeus
the
Historian
;
also
Eschenes
the
Orator
,
(
not
he
that
contended
with
Demosthenes
who
taking
too
much
libertie
against
Pompey
was
banished
)
Timothius
the
musician
,
and
Pittacus
the
Philosopher
,
besides
many
others
.
But
of
all
these
,
Thales
Milesius
was
held
in
greatest
estimation
,
because
he
was
thought
to
be
the
first
that
taught
natural
Philosophie
and
the
Mathematicks
amongst
the
Grecians
.
He
was
the
first
also
that
foretold
of
the
Eclipse
of
the
Sun
,
about
such
time
as
the
battell
was
fought
betweene
Cyaxares
father
of
Astyages
King
of
the
Medes
,
and
Hallyat●es
father
of
Croesus
K.
of
the
Lidians
,
which
was
about
the
44
Olimpiad
.
There
came
vnto
him
a
certaine
man
,
who
asked
him
what
was
the
hardest
thing
in
the
world
;
he
answered
▪
seipsum
nosce
,
to
know
himselfe
.
Another
came
to
him
,
and
askt
him
how
he
might
do
to
liue
justly
;
he
answered
,
Si
quae
in
alijs
reprehendimus
,
ipse
non
faciamus
,
That
we
doe
not
those
things
which
we
reprehend
in
others
.
He
died
about
the
58
Olympiad
.
Meletus
at
this
day
is
called
Melasa
.
Of
Cous.
THis
is
one
of
the
Cyclad
Islands
,
lying
in
the
Aegean
sea
,
bordring
vpon
Caria
;
being
so
called
from
the
Vaults
and
caues
that
are
in
it
,
and
distant
from
Ierusalem
524
miles
.
It
hath
a
city
called
after
the
same
name
,
wherein
there
was
a
stately
Temple
built
in
honour
of
Iuno
;
&
another
standing
in
the
suburbs
therof
dedicated
to
Aesculapius
:
this
was
a
very
sumptuous
temple
,
and
made
very
rich
,
because
of
the
many
presents
and
gifts
that
were
sent
and
dedicated
to
it
.
When
the
Romanes
had
obtained
the
command
of
this
Isle
,
Octavius
the
father
of
Augustus
Caesar
,
tooke
out
of
this
temple
a
naked
Venus
,
which
was
a
goodly
image
,
and
carried
it
with
him
to
Rome
in
honour
of
his
progenitors
,
who
deriued
their
progenie
from
her
.
It
is
in
compasse
56
miles
,
being
so
pleasantly
scituated
that
it
was
a
sea
marke
to
Mariners
,
very
fruitfull
,
and
bringing
forth
abundance
of
wine
&
silke
,
by
reason
of
a
certain
fish
that
is
found
there
,
from
which
they
got
great
plenty
.
See
Plin.
lib.

There
were
many
that
liued
onely
by
weauing
of
silke
,
and
aboue
the
rest
there
was
one
Pamphila
the
daughter
of
Plates
,
that
was
most
excellent
in
that
Art
.
There
were
many
famous
men
that
were
either
born
or
liued
in
that
country
,
as
Hipocrates
that
excellent
Physitian
,
Apelles
that
notable
painter
,
Simus
the
Physician
,
Philetas
the
poët
and
orator
,
Nicia
the
prince
and
tyrant
of
Cous
,
Ariston
the
Peripatetick
,
and
Theomnestus
that
notable
politician
.
At
this
day
this
Isle
is
within
the
Turkish
Empire
,
and
by
them
called
Stacu
:
also
the
principall
citie
thereof
is
called
by
the
same
name
,
and
wholly
inhabited
by
the
Turks
,
two
towns
only
being
inhabited
by
the
Grecians
:
but
there
are
many
that
dwell
in
strong
castles
compassed
with
round
and
stately
towers
.
This
countrey
is
very
fertile
,
abounding
with
cattell
,
and
the
mountaines
thereof
are
little
inferior
to
those
of
Creet
.
Of
Rhodes
.
THe
city
and
Isle
of
Rhodes
(
which
is
so
called
from
the
sweet
smell
or
roses
)
is
scituated
in
the
Mediterranean
sea
,
a
little
from
Asia
the
lesse
,
vpon
the
South
;
being
distant
from
Ierusalem
140
miles
toward
the
Northwest
,
as
Strab.
saith
,
l.
14.
It
is
in
compasse
112
miles
.
It
was
at
first
called
Ophy
,
then
Statilia
,
&
after
Telchin
,
of
the
inhabitants
thereof
,
who
were
called
Telchines
,
a
people
which
,
as
some
say
,
were
witches
;
others
say
,
curious
Artificers
,
and
were
the
first
that
found
out
the
making
of
brasse
and
yron
.
At
last
it
tooke
the
name
of
Rhodes
from
the
principal
city
that
stood
in
it
:
for
there
were
three
cities
in
it
,
viz.
Lyndus
,
Camirus
,
and
Ialyssus
.
In
Lyndus
,
Cleobulus
one
of
the
seuen
Wisemen
of
Graece
,
and
Chares
that
famous
Statuarie
,
who
made
the
Colossus
which
stood
in
this
Isle
,
were
borne
.
Ialyssus
of
a
Rose
that
was
found
in
it
,
was
called
Rhodes
,
being
scituated
vpon
an
exceeding
high
promontorie
,
lying
toward
the
East
part
of
that
Isle
.
This
exceeded
the
other
two
cities
both
for
ports
,
waies
,
walls
,
and
other
ornaments
,
and
the
inhabitants
were
gouerned
with
such
excellent
lawes
,
and
so
skilfull
in
nauigation
,
that
it
might
compare
with
the
strongest
citie
of
the
world
,
and
for
a
long
time
had
the
command
of
the
sea
round
about
,
and
vtterly
abolished
all
Pirats
and
robbers
from
those
parts
.
Diodorus
Sicul.
li.
6.
saith
,
that
it
was
called
Rhodes
of
Rhodia
a
faire
and
beautifull
maid
,
who
was
dearely
beloued
of
Apollo
,
and
therefore
this
Island
was
dedicated
to
the
Sunne
;
for
as
Solinus
saith
,
though
the
heauens
be
neuer
so
cloudy
yet
the
Sun
shineth
in
Rhodes
.
Pindarus
the
Poet
(
because
of
the
fertility
of
the
soile
,
and
the
exceeding
opulencie
of
the
inhabitants
)
saith
,
that
it
rained
gold
in
that
country
.
In
former
times
it
flourished
with
learning
and
good
arts
,
insomuch
that
the
Romans
for
the
most
part
sent
their
children
to
be
brought
vp
at
Rhodes
.
This
Isle
is
very
fruitfull
,
and
bringeth
forth
many
things
necessarie
for
the
maintenance
of
life
,
but
aboue
all
,
a
certaine
red
wine
which
the
Romans
did
greatly
delight
in
,
and
valued
at
a
high
price
.
In

Demetrius
King
of
Asia
erected
a
notable
Collossus
or
Statue
of
the
Sun
in
this
Isle
,
which
that
notable
caruer
Chares
made
,
being
outwardly
all
of
pure
brasse
,
but
within
nothing
but
stones
;
it
was
seuentie
cubits
high
,
and
so
artificially
made
,
that
it
was
accounted
for
one
of
the
wonders
of
the
world
.
Afterward
it
was
carried
into
Aegypt
by
the
Aegyptians
who
woon
the
towne
.
This
Isle
is
famous
to
this

Of
Patara
.
PAtara
was
a
Citie
of

thereof
;
who
was
the
sonne
of
Apollones
,
or

Ptolomaeus
Philadelphius
K.
of
Aegypt
inlarged
this
city
,
and
called
it
after
his
sisters
name
,
Arsinoës
Lysiaca
,
to
put
a
difference
betweene
it
and
other
Cities
called
after
that
name
;
for
there
was
an
Arsinoe
in
Aegypt
,
and
another
neere
Cyrene
,
where
Apollo
in
certaine
Moneths
of
the

season
(
by
the

to
them
that

Lysius
was
taken

scourged
by

:
so
Paul
sailed
from
Caesarea
Strato
,
to
Sidon
,
which
was
84
miles
,
Acts
27.
From
thence
Paul
sailed
close
by
Cyprus
,
because
the
winde
was
contrarie
,
and
came
to
the
sea
ouer
against
Cilicia
(
which
was
very
troublesome
)
and
so
passing
by
Pamphilia
they
came
to
Myra
,
which
was
480

.
Loosing
from
Myra
they
sailed
to

From
Gnidum
they

and
so
passed
by
the

of
Salmo
,
Lasaea
,
and
Assus
,
and
so
came
to

,
which
was

From
Phoenicia
they
came
to
the
Island

From
the
Island
of
Claudia
they
came
to
Melite
,
which
now
is
called
Malta
;
in
which
place
they
suffered
shipwracke
,
and
Paul
shooke

From
Malta
they
sailed
in
a
ship
of
Alexandria
,
to
Syracusus
,
in

From
thence
they

From
Puteola
they
went

receiued
Paul
with
great

.
From
Apiforum
they
led
him
to
Tribatera
,
which
is
six

and
there
he
met
more
Christians
.
From
Tribatera
he
went
to
Rome
,
being
16
miles
,
where
hee
remained
two
yeares
prisoner
,
and
there
wrote
his
Epistles
to
the
Galathians
,
Ephesians
,
Philippians
,
Colossians
,
Philemon
,
and
the
Hebrews
:
so
all

THe

tooke
the
name
(
as
Strabo
saith
)
from
the
people
called
Curetes
that
dwelt
in
this
Island
:
those
people
vsed
to
cut
all
the
haire
off
from
the
foreparts
of
their
heads
,
and
therefore
they
would
not
endure
to
suffer
any
man
to
weare
his
haire
being
in
the
warres
;
for
which
cause
in
the
Grecian
tongue
they
were
called
Couretes
,
and
in
time
this
name
by
corruption
of
speech
was
changed
,
and
they
called
Cretans
.
This
Island
standeth
in
the
Mediterranean
sea
,
between
Graecia
and
Africa
,
600
miles
from
Ierusalem
toward
the
West
.
It
is
a
great
Island
,
being
200
miles
long
,
48
miles
broad
,
and
in
compasse
588
miles
:
it
is
very
fruitfull
of
Cypresse
trees
,
Malmsey
,
Sugar
,
and
other
spices
:
the
Malmsey
taketh
the
name
from
the
towne
of
Maluesia
,
in
Peloponessus
,
standing
vpon
the
point
of
Malta
,
right
ouer

Creta
or
Candia
;
and
at
this

the

wine
is
made
in
Creta
,
and
called
by
the
same
name
,
from
whence
it
is
commonly
brought
vnto
vs
,
though
in
times
past
it
came
out
of
this
Island
of
Chius
.
Among
all
the
hills
that
are
found
in
the
Island
of
Creta
,
the
hill
Ida
is
most
spoken
of
,
because
of
the
height
:
about
it
standeth
diuers
townes
and
villages
:
it
hath
many
hills
and
woods
;
for
the
Island
is
very
full
of
sweet
Cypresse
trees
,
insomuch
that
there
are
woods
full
of
them
.
Pliny
writes
,
that
vpon
a
time
there
was
such
an
Earthquake
in

Island
,
that
one
of
the
hills
remoued
,
out
of
which
there
came
a
man
being
forty
cubits
high
.
In
this
Island
there
are
no
venomous
beasts
,
but
in
times
past
it
was
inhabited
by
cruell
people
,
of
whom
S.
Paul
complaineth
in
his
first
Epistle
to
Titus
,
cap.
1.
where
he
rehearseth
the
saying
of
Epimenides
,
which
was
after
this
manner
,
The
people
of
Creta
are
alwaies
liers
,
euill
beasts
,
and
slow-bellies
.
And
to
conclude
,
they
resemble
some
of
the
Friers
among
the
Papists
;
for
as
they
are
idle
people
and
shaue
their
heads
,
so
were
the
men
of
Creta
.
Titus
(
Pauls
disciple
)
was
a
Bishop
in
this
Island
,
and
S.
Paul
wrote
an
Epistle
to
them
,
and
to
Nicapolis
,
and
sent
it
them
aboue
320
miles
.
This
Island
in
times
past
was
very
rich
&
populous
,
for
in
it
there
was
100
townes
;
the
chiefe
of
which
were
Gnossos
,
Cortyna
,
and
Zydon
,
but
Gnossos
was
the
most
principall
and
antientest
,
wherin
King
Minos
kept
his
court
:
in
it
the
notable
Geographer
Strabo
was
borne
.
This
town
of
Gnossos
in
times
past
was
called
Ceratur
,
of
the
riuer
Cerata
which
passeth
by
it
;
but
now
it
and
all
the

called
Candia

The
Venetians
euery
three

appointed
a
new
Duke
to

In
this
Island
stood
the
townes
of
Salmona
and
Lassica
,
(
by

and
in

middle
between

counsailed
the
Saylers
that
were
in

stay
the
Winter
season
in
that
Island
:
but
the
Captain
of
the
ship
gaue
more
credit
to
the
Master
of
the
ship
,
than
to
Pauls
words
,
wherby
in

they
were
in

of
their
liues
.
The
townes
of
Salmona
and
Lassica
,
with
the
hauen
of
Gutfurt
,
lay
Southward
in
this
Island
,
vpon
the
coast
of
the
Mediterranean
sea
:
somewhat
distant
from
them
stood
the
towne
of
Asson
,
by
Pliny
called
Asum
,
where
they
hoised
out
their
boate
and
sayled
Northward
;
and
because
they
had
a
faire
South-winde
,
they
thought
to
saile
to
Phoenicia
,
a
hauen
in
Creta
,
but
the
winde
comming
about
to
the
East
,
draue
them
backe
againe
into
the
sea
,
by
which
meanes
they
were
in
danger
of
their
liues
.
This
Island
was
brought
vnder
the
subjection
of
the
Romans
66
yeares
before
the
birth
of
Christ
,
and
so
for
a
long
time
continued
,
vntill
the
Saracens
entred
therein
,
and
tooke
it
from
the
Romans
,
800
yeares
after
the
birth
of

,
the
Emperour
of
Constantinople
draue
the
Saracens
out
of
the
Island
,
and
kept
it
;
but
in
the
end
the
Venetians
brought
it
vnder
their
subjection
and
seigniorie
,
in
the
yeare
of

1202

and
his
companians
were
in
such
danger
,
mentioned
,
Acts
17.
Of
Mylete
.
THis
Island
was
so
called
from
the
great
aboundance
of
hony
that
was
found
in
it
;
but
at
this
day
it
is
called
Malta
,
scituated
in
the
Mediterranean
sea
,
1340
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
West
.
It
is
very
pleasant
and
fruitfull
;
bringing
forth
great
plenty
of
Wheat
,
Rye
,
Flax
,
Comin
,
Cotton
,
Figs
,
Wine
,
Roses
,
Violets
,
Tyme
,
Lauender
,
and
many
other
sweet
and
delightfull
herbes
from
whence
Bees
did
gather
great
plentie
of
honey
.
The
Sunne
is
very
hot
in
this
Island
,
insomuch
that
by
the
extreame
feruor
thereof
,
the
inhabitants
lose
their
naturall
complexion
,
and
looke
of
a
tawnie
colour
.
In
Summer
euenings
there
falleth
great
plenty
of
dewes
,
whereby
the
earth
is
refreshed
,
and
the
herbes
increased
.
There
is
neither
snow
nor
frost
seene
in
it
,
for
the
Northerne
windes
(
which
with
vs
are
the
authors
of
cold
and
frosts
)
with
them
procure
raine
,
which
greatly
refresheth
and
increaseth
the
fruits
of
the
earth
;
so
that
the
pastures
and
medowes
become
very
pleasant
and
full
of
grasse
:
and
although
it
be
but
28
miles
long
,
and
60
miles
about
,
notwithstanding
it
is
very
populous
;
for
in
the
eight
parishes
that
stand
in
this
Isle
,
there
is
numbred
aboue
twentie
thousand
men
.
The
inhabitants
are
very
honest
,
religious
and
godly
;
and
the
women
faire
,
chaste
,
and
modest
,
for
they
neuer
come
abroad
but
with
their
faces
couered
.
The
children
that
are
borne
in
this
country
feare
not
any
snakes
,
neither
are
hurt
be
any
thing
that
is
venomous
,
insomuch
that
they
will
take
Scorpions
and
eat
them
without
danger
,
although
in
all
other
parts
of
the
world
those
kinde
of
creatures
are
most
pernitious
.
In
this
Isle
also
there
are
bred
a
kinde
of
Dogs
that
are
but
small
,
yet
very
white
and
shagged
,
and
so
louing
that
the
inhabitants
of
all
the
neighbouring
countries
will
buy
them
,
though
they
be
at
deare
rates
.
The
chiefe
citie
thereof
(
called
Malta
)
is
so
strongly
fortified
both
by
art
and
nature
,
that
it
is
almost
impossible
to
be
conquered
,
vnlesse
it
be
either
by
treason
or
famin
.
The
tower
or
Castle
thereof
is
fortified
with
the
knights
of
S.
Iohns
Order
,
who
haue
mightily
expressed
their
valour
and
resolution
in
defending
this
town
from
the
Turks
.
About
a
mile
from
this
,
the
ruins
of
a
goodly
faire
city
are
to
bee
seene
.
And
vpon
the
East
promontorie
,
a
little
from
the
city
of
Malta
,
there
yet
remain
the
decaies
(
which
are
worthy
to
looke
vpon
)
of
a
goodly
temple
dedicated
to
Iuno
.
It
seems
by
what
remaineth
,
that
this
church
hath
bin
a
fair
and
goodly
thing
in
times
past
.
There
is
also
here
and
there
in
the
earth
found
certaine
brasse
monies
,
hauing
vpon
the
one
side
a
superscription
written
in
Greeke
letters
,
and
vpon
the
other
the
image
of
Iuno
.
There
stood
vpon
the
South
side
of
Malta
a
Temple
dedicated
to
Hercules
,
the
ruins
of
which
are
yet
extant
;
and
in
it
are
found
monuments
worthy
of
admiration
.
At
such
time
as
the
Captaine
of
Massanissa
King
of
the
Numidians
had
conquered
this
Island
,
amongst
other
pretious
things
that
he
found
in
these
Temples
,
he
tooke
thence
a
great
deale
of
goodly
Ivorie
:
but
that
religious
King
did
faithfully
restore
all
those
things
backe
again
,
and
dedicated
them
to
the
seuerall
Temples
.
Thus
we
may
perceiue
that
the
inhabitants
of
this
Isle
of
Malta
were
wholly
giuen
to
idolatry
and
superstition
,
vntil
such
time
as
Paul
by
the
inconstancy
and
vehemencie
of
the
winde
was
driuen
vpon
it
,
and
conuerted
them
from
that
peruerse
and
prophane
worship
to
the
Christian
Religion
,
at
such
time
as
he
suffered
shipwracke
,
and
Wintered
amongst
them
,
Acts
27.
The
inhabitants
shew
vpon
the
North
part
of
this
Isle
,
the
place
where
the
ship
was
cast
away
wherein
the
Apostle
Paul
was
;
in
which
place
they
haue
built
vp
a
Chappel
,
and
dedicated
it
to
Saint
Paul
.
They
shew
also
a
Caue
,
in
which
they
say
he
liued
;
and
they
verily
beleeue
that
he
expelled
all
venome
and
poyson
out
of
that
Island
at
such
time
as
he
was
there
.
It
was
first
subiect
vnto
the
Africans
,
as
may
appeare
by
certaine
Marble
Pillars
which
are
heere
and
there
found
,
in
which
there
are
ingrauen
certain
Characters
of
the
Carthaginians
,
not
much
vnlike
to
Hebrew
letters
.
And
although
the
Inhabitants
are
Christians
,
yet
their
speech
is
much
like
the
Saracens
,
which
differeth
little
or
nothing
from
the
antient
Punick
.
At
such
time
as
Dido
built
Carthage
(
which
is
thought
to
be
890
years
before
Christ
)
Battus
was
King
of
this
Isle
,
and
held
a
confederacy
with
Dido
:
for
when
Hyarbas
King
of
the
Gelutians
made
warre
vpon
Dido
,
because
he
could
not
obtain
her
in
matrimony
,
she
receiued
ayd
from
this
Battus
;
and
when
for
the
loue
of
Aeneas
she
had
killed
her self
,
Hyarbas
hauing
conquered
Carthage
,
banished
her
sister
Anne
,
who
was
entertained
by
this
Battus
.
But
Hyarbas
taking
that
vnkindly
,
made
war
vpon
Battus
,
and
conquered
the
Island
of
Malta
:
so
it
continued
in
the
jurisdiction
of
the
Carthaginians
a
long
time
after
,
vntill
the
Carthaginians
were
conquered
by
the
Romans
;
and
then
one
Titus
Sempronius
(
about
such
time
as
Hannibal
brought
his
army
before
Trebia
)
woon
it
,
217
yeares
before
Christ
.
And
after
it
continued
vnder
the
jurisdiction
of
the
Romans
130
yeares
,
and
then
it
was
conquered
by
the
Saracens
;
but
they
held
it
not
long
,
for
Roger
Norman
King
of
Sicilia
got
it
out
of
their
power
,
An.
D.
1090.
And
so
it
continued
in
the
hands
of
the
Sicilians
til
An.
Dom.
1520.
And
then
Charles
the
fift
being
Emperor
,
gaue
it
to
the
Knights
of
saint
Iohn
,
vpon
condition
that
they
should
oppose
the
Turkes
gallies
,
and
defend
that
part
of
Christendome
.
So
the
Knights
of
S.
Iohn
together
with
their
gouernor
sailed
to
Malta
,
&
so
fortified
it
,
that
it
is
impossible
to
be
taken
vnlesse
by
famine
or
treason
.
There
were
many
famous
Bishops
that
liued
in
this
place
,
and
very
deuout
Christians
.
In
the
time
of
the
Emperor
Theodosius
there
was
a
Councel
held
,
at
which
were
present
240
Bishops
.
At
this
day
this
Bishopricke
is
subiect
to
the
Archbishop
of
Palermo
;
and
the
chiefe
gouernement
of
the
Isle
is
in
the
power
of
the
Knights
of
S.
Iohn
,
&c.
Of
Syracusa
.
THis
was
a
City
of
the
Isle
of
Sicilia
,
built
by
one
Archia
of
Corinth
,
standing
close
by
the
sea
shore
on
the
North
side
of
the
Isle
,
2756
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
West
.
It
was
a
faire
and
goodly
city
,
in
antient
time
called
Tetrapolis
,
because
it
was
diuided
into
three
parts
:
one
of
which
parts
stood
in
the
Isle
of
Ortygia
,
separated
from
the
continent
with
a
little
streit
sea
,
and
with
that
famous
fountain
Arthusia
.
The
other
part
was
called
Acradine
,
and
the
third
Tycha
;
to
which
in
after-times
there
was
built
vp
a
fourth
,
and
called
by
the
name
of
Neapolis
.
All
this
city
was
compassed
in
with
three
walls
,
so
strong
and
so
admirably
fortified
both
by
Nature
and
Art
,
that
it
opposed
the
Carthaginians
in
equall
war.
It
was
called
Syracusa
,
from
drawing
or
sucking
;
and
in
processe
of
time
obtained
the
whole
jurisdiction
and
gouernment
of
that
Isle
;
which
was
so
well
peopled
in
the
time
of
Dionysius
the
Tyrant
,
that
he
was
able
to
make
and
maintaine
an
Army
of
one
hundred
thousand
foot
,
and
twelue
thousand
Horse
.
There
were
two
hauens
in
that
part
which
was
called
Ortygia
,
so
maruellously
fortified
with
such
huge
Rockes
and
other
munition
,
that
they
were
wonderfull
to
looke
vpon
.
There
also
stood
a
Castle
or
Tower
called
by
the
name
of
Mercia
,
which
was
so
strong
,
that
when
all
the
rest
of
the
Town
was
conquered
,
yet
that
maintained
Warre
for
a
long
time
.
In
this
Hold
the
Kings
and
Tyrants
of
this
Countrey
vsually
kept
their
Treasures
and
other
things
that
were
materiall
.
There
were
many
worthy
and
famous
Princes
ruled
in
it
;
but
aboue
them
all
,
Dionysius
the
elder
exceeded
the
rest
.
Who
when
hee
saw
what
aboundance
of
Vessels
of
gold
and
siluer
Dionysius
the
younger
had
heaped
together
,
cried
out
and
said
,
In
te
Regius
affectus
non
est
,
qui
ex
tanta
poculorum
vi
amicum
neminem
conciliasti
:
That
is
,
Verily
the
minde
of
a
King
is
not
in
thee
,
that
out
of
so
many
Cups
couldest
not
procure
one
Friend
.
For
after
hee
was
banished
,
and
constrained
to
keepe
a
Schoole
.
Both
these
Dionysians
were
learned
men
and
great
Philosophers
.
It
is
thought
that
this
Island
was
sometime
a
part
of
Italy
,
and
ioyning
to
the
field
of
Brutius
;
but
in
time
through
the
violence
of
the
sea
separat
from
the
continent
.
From
whence
it
was
called
Sicilita
,
and
also
Trinacris
,
because
there
were
three
mountaines
standing
vpon
three
promontories
in
three
seueral
places
of
it
,
giuing
the
proportion
of
a
triangle
;
for
there
was
an
angle
toward
the
South
,
called
Pactinus
,
another
towards
the
Southwest
called
Lilybaeus
,
and
another
called
Pelorus
,
which
lay
distant
neer
about
two
miles
from
Italy
.
In
times
past
it
was
vnder
the
command
of
the
Romanes
;
but
now
the
Spaniards
haue
chiefe
gouernment
of
it
.
There
are
many
things
remaining
to
this
day
worthy
obseruation
,
but
chiefly
the
mountain
Aetna
,
which
still
casteth
out
fire
&
smoke
,
&c.
Of
Rhegium
.
THis
was
a
town
of
Italy
belonging
to
the
family
of
the
Brutians
;
at
first
built
by
the
Calcedonians
and
Messenians
,
vpon
the
vtmost
bounds
of
Italy
toward
the
Sicilian
sea
,
beeing
distant
from
that
Isle
60
furlongs
,
and
called
by
the
name
of
Rhegium
,
as
some
thinke
,
from
Rumpo
,
to
breake
;
for
that
neere
about
the
place
where
that
town
stood
,
the
sea
being
very
tempestuous
,
broke
the
Isle
of
Sicilia
from
the
continent
.
Others
think
it
was
called
Rhegium
,
because
it
was
so
strong
and
beautifull
a
Citie
that
it
might
well
haue
bin
the
seat
of
a
Prince
.
Close
by
this
city
in
the
Sicilian
sea
there
stands
a
rock
somewhat
aboue
the
water
,
representing
in
figure
the
proportion
of
a
man
,
and
round
about
it
are
to
be
seen
other
little
rocks
like
barking
dogs
.
In
this
place
the
water
is
so
extreme
violent
,
and
runnes
with
so
strong
a
current
,
that
it
is
very
dangerous
for
mariners
(
especially
such
as
are
ignorant
)
to
saile
that
way
.
Wherefore
the
Poets
made
this
verse
,
to
signifie
a
man
that
stood
in
a
dangerous
and
doubtfull
estate
:
Decidit
in
Scyllam
cupiens
vitare
Charibdim
.
Seeking
to
shun
Charibdis
curled
waves
,
He
thrusts
himselfe
into
stern
Scylla's
jawes
.
But
that
mariners
might
auoid
these
dangerous
places
,
vpon
the
North
angle
of
Sicilia
in
the
promontorie
of
Petorus
there
is
erected
a
lofty
tower
,
standing
as
a
sea
mark
,
that
so
they
by
that
direction
might
escape
these
dangerous
places
.
Not
far
from
Scillari
is
to
be
seen
another
town
,
of
that
rock
called
Scyllacus
,
but
of
the
inhabitants
it
is
commonly
called
Scyglius
or
Scyglio
;
and
Rhegium
also
at
this
day
is
called
Rezo
and
Reggio
;
of
Antimnestus
captain
of
Chalcedon
:
and
as
Strab.
li.
6.
saith
,
is
scituated
in
Calabria
,
1332
miles
from
Ierusalem
Westward
.
Of
Puteoli
.
THis
city
is
in
Campania
,
a
countrey
of
Italy
not
farre
from
Naples
,
scituated
on
the
sea
shore
,
1388
miles
from
Ierusalem
Westward
;
taking
that
name
from
fountains
or
Wels
of
hot
water
,
being
built
by
the
Salamians
,
as
Eusebius
saith
,
about
such
time
as
the
Tarquins
were
banished
Rome
,
507
yeares
before
the
natiuitie
of
Christ
.
It
was
antiently
called
Dicaearchia
,
because
of
their
singular
justice
&
noble
gouernment
.
But
when
the
Romans
made
war
against
Hannibal
,
they
fortified
this
town
to
withstand
his
forces
,
and
then
called
it
Puteoli
,
which
name
it
retained
a
long
time
after
.
At
this
day
it
is
called
Puzzoli
.
At
this
city
the
Apostle
Paul
&
his
companions
ariued
when
they
sailed
into
Rome
,
Acts
27.
Between
Puteoli
and
Baia
there
lieth
the
lake
of
Lucrinus
,
into
which
by
the
command
of
Augustus
Caesar
,
a
Dolphin
was
thrown
.
Now
there
was
a
young
Youth
called
Simon
,
the
son
of
a
poore
man
dwelling
in
Baia
,
who
vsually
played
among
other
youths
vpon
the
banks
of
this
lake
;
and
seeing
the
Dolphin
(
it
being
a
strange
fish
in
those
parts
,
and
verie
amiable
to
looke
vpon
)
did
take
great
delight
in
it
,
and
oft
times
fed
it
with
bread
and
other
things
as
he
could
get
:
insomuch
as
the
Dolphin
when
it
heard
the
boyes
voice
vpon
the
banks
of
the
riuer
,
would
resort
to
him
&
receiue
at
his
hand
his
accustomed
food
.
Thus
it
continued
so
long
,
that
the
Dolphin
would
suffer
the
boy
to
handle
him
,
take
him
by
the
gils
,
play
with
him
,
yea
and
somtimes
to
get
vpon
his
backe
,
then
swim
with
him
a
great
way
into
the
lake
,
and
bring
him
back
again
,
and
suffer
him
to
go
safe
vpon
the
shore
.
After
this
manner
hee
continued
for
many
yeares
together
,
and
in
the
end
the
youth
died
.
Yet
the
Dolphin
resorted
to
his
vsuall
place
,
expecting
his
accustomed
food
from
the
hands
of
this
boy
;
but
missing
him
,
he
left
the
shore
,
languisht
away
and
died
.
Concerning
the
nature
of
this
fish
you
may
read
more
at
large
in
Pliny
,
lib.
9.
cap.
8.
Of
Colossa
.
THis
City
is
scituated
in
Phrygia
a
countrey
in
Asia
minor
,
neere
the
riuers
of
Lycus
and
Meander
,
520
miles
from
Ierusalem
Northwestward
,
not
farre
from
Laodicea
;
so
called
from
the
mighty
statues
and
Colosso's
that
were
set
vp
in
it
.
These
cities
,
Colossa
,
Laodicea
,
and
Hierapolis
(
where
the
Apostle
Philip
was
put
to
death
in
the
tenth
yeare
of
Nero
)
a
little
before
Pauls
martyrdome
were
sunke
by
an
earthquake
,
which
without
doubt
was
a
great
judgement
of
God
vpon
them
,
because
they
refused
the
grace
and
comfort
of
the
doctrine
of
the
Gospel
offered
vnto
them
by
the
Apostles
.
The
Epistle
of
Paul
dedicated
to
the
Colossians
was
sent
by
the
hand
of
Onesymus
from
Rome
vnto
these
towns
,
being
1080
miles
.
For
although
the
Rhodians
were
called
Colossians
,
because
of
that
famous
Colossus
that
stood
there
:
yet
this
city
wherein
Archippus
and
Philemon
dwelt
(
to
whom
Paul
directed
that
Epistle
)
stood
in
Phrygia
a
country
of
Asia
minor
,
and
not
in
Rhodes
.
Of
Nicopolis
.
NIcopolis
is
a
city
of
Macedonia
,
scituated
close
by
the
riuer
Nessus
,
not
far
from
Philippus
vpon
the
borders
of
Thrace
,
920
miles
from
Ierusalem
Northwestward
.
From
hence
the
Apostle
Paul
wrot
his
Epistle
to
Titus
,
and
sent
it
to
Creet
,
600
miles
.
There
are
many
other
cities
of
this
name
:
one
standing
in
Epyre
,
built
by
Augustus
;
another
betweene
Cilicia
and
Syria
,
built
by
Alexander
in
glory
of
his
victorie
against
Darius
.
A
fourth
in
Bythinia
,
a
fift
in
the
holy
land
,
formerly
called
Emaus
.
Of
Rome
.
THis
city
,
if
wee
rightly
consider
the
deriuation
of
the
name
in
Hebrew
,
was
not
built
without
the
singular
prouidence
of
God
;
being
deriued
of
Rom
,
i.
Hee
hath
exalted
or
made
high
.
But
the
Grecians
deriue
it
from
Romen
,
i.
strength
&
power
.
Now
although
the
prouidence
of
God
extendeth
to
euery
Creature
,
may
to
the
very
haires
of
a
mans
head
;
yet
where
hee
determines
to
expresse
his
singular
power
,
there
hee
worketh
beyond
the
expectation
of
man
.
And
who
knowes
not
that
the
beginning
of
this
City
was
meane
,
raised
from
a
confused
company
,
destitute
both
of
ciuilitie
,
communitie
,
and
lawes
;
yet
hath
it
bin
,
and
for
the
most
part
is
the
glory
of
the
world
,
and
the
great
commander
of
the
Princes
of
the
earth
.
It
was
so
called
at
first
by
Romulus
(
as
Livy
,
lib.
1.
saith
)
who
first
built
it
,
seuen
hundred
fifty
and
one
yeares
before
the
Natiuitie
of
Christ
;
being
scituated
vpon
seuen
hils
,
that
is
,
Capitolinus
,
Aventinus
;
Palatinus
,
Caelius
,
Exquilinus
,
Viminalis
,
and
Quirinalis
.
But
after
,
when
the
City
was
compassed
about
with
walls
,
the
hill
Ianiculus
was
inclosed
within
it
.
The
Vallies
that
lay
between
these
hils
were
so
raised
vp
with
arches
,
vaults
,
and
artificial
mounts
,
that
in
processe
of
time
they
became
levell
with
the
top
of
some
of
those
hills
.
It
was
beautified
with
faire
and
sumptuous
buildings
;
so
that
as
it
was
the
head
of
the
world
for
command
and
power
,
in
like
like
manner
it
exceeded
all
the
rest
of
the
world
for
glory
and
riches
,
but
principally
for
stately
buildings
.
There
were
many
goodly
Temples
,
dedicated
to
Iupiter
,
Apollo
,
Aesculapius
,
Hercules
,
Diana
,
Iuno
,
Minerva
,
Lucia
,
Concordia
,
Fides
,
Pietas
,
Pax
,
Victoria
,
Isis
,
besides
many
other
dedicated
to
other
gods
.
But
aboue
all
,
that
was
the
most
sumptuous
that
was
called
Pantheon
deorum
;
at
this
day
called
the
Church
of
All
hallowes
.
Moreouer
,
here
was
to
be
seen
the
princely
Edifices
of
Kings
,
Emperors
,
Consuls
,
Senators
,
Patricians
,
and
other
Romans
who
were
mighty
in
wealth
and
substance
,
built
all
of
polished
Marble
,
beautified
with
gold
and
siluer
;
beside
palaces
,
bulwarks
;
theatres
,
triumphant
arches
,
statues
,
and
such
like
,
al
which
were
glorious
,
and
greatly
adorned
the
city
.
But
aboue
al
these
,
the
house
of
Nero
was
most
worthy
of
obseruation
,
which
to
see
to
was
built
all
of
burnisht
gold
very
curiously
wrought
.
Here
also
stood
the
monuments
of
the
two
Caesars
,
Iulius
and
Augustus
;
also
their
statues
,
the
one
made
of
pure
brasse
,
the
other
of
white
marble
.
Besides
,
there
were
many
fruitfull
orchards
,
water-courses
,
&
wholsome
baths
,
brought
thither
by
Antonius
,
Nero
,
Dioclesian
,
and
Constantine
the
Great
.
Also
the
Emperor
Constantine
erected
many
goodly
churches
for
the
vse
of
the
Christians
,
&
indowed
them
with
great
means
;
and
amongst
the
rest
that
which
was
dedicated
to
Saint
Iohn
of
Latteran
,
a
faire
and
goodly
Church
,
and
for
riches
and
curious
workemanship
might
compare
with
the
stateliest
Temples
that
euer
had
beene
in
the
world
,
most
of
the
ornaments
and
images
beeing
made
of
Gold
and
Siluer
:
hee
also
erected
the
Vattican
,
which
was
dedicated
to
Saint
Peter
;
and
another
holy
house
dedicated
to
Saint
Paul
;
in
either
of
which
he
placed
their
seueral
sepulchres
and
monuments
,
bestowing
extraordinary
cost
to
beautifie
them
.
So
many
were
the
gifts
and
gratuites
of
this
Emperour
,
that
they
can
scarce
bee
numbred
:
so
that
although
the
Emperour
Trajan
,
and
Boniface
the
fourth
,
Pope
of
Rome
,
bestowed
great
cost
to
beautifie
and
adorne
the
city
;
yet
were
they
nothing
comparable
to
that
which
this
Emperor
did
.
These
things
then
beeing
presented
to
your
viewe
,
you
might
iustly
say
,
that
Rome
in
her
prosperitie
and
eminencie
was
the
glory
of
the
world
:
but
as
all
estates
are
fickle
and
vncertain
,
still
subiect
to
varietie
and
change
,
so
was
this
:
first
enuied
of
the
world
,
because
of
the
extreame
oppression
of
her
gouernours
;
and
after
made
desolate
by
violence
and
force
,
all
her
former
glorie
beeing
eclipsed
,
and
the
greatest
part
of
these
goodly
buildings
layed
leuell
with
the
ground
.
Thus
haue
I
shewed
you
what
Rome
was
when
it
was
in
her
prosperitie
:
It
resteth
now
to
shew
what
Rome
is
.
Rome
at
this
day
differeth
as
much
from
the
antient
Rome
,
as
the
substance
from
the
shadow
.
For
although
the
Pope
hath
beautified
and
adorned
the
West
part
of
it
with
many
faire
and
goodly
buildings
,
and
called
it
by
the
name
of
new
Rome
.
Yet
is
it
nothing
comparable
to
the
antient
city
,
as
it
was
when
Augustus
and
Constantine
the
Great
were
Emperours
thereof
,
neither
doth
it
stand
in
the
antient
place
:
for
the
first
Citie
stood
vpon
the
East
side
of
Tyber
,
this
vpon
the
West
.
The
chiefe
part
of
the
other
stood
vpon
the
mountaines
Capitolinus
and
Palatinus
,
vpon
which
were
the
stately
buildings
of
Senatours
,
Kings
,
and
Emperors
,
but
now
they
lie
desolate
and
waste
.
The
Capitol
also
,
and
the
Temple
of
Iupiter
Feretrius
(
goodly
Buildings
)
beaten
to
the
ground
;
onely
some
ruins
,
to
shew
that
such
things
there
hath
beene
.
And
what
now
resteth
,
that
are
worthie
note
,
are
in
the
commaund
and
power
of
the
Pope
:
which
are
not
many
;
the
most
that
can
be
named
,
are
the
Vattican
,
the
tower
of
S.
Angelo
,
the
Popes
Pallace
,
his
banquetting
house
,
and
the
gardens
and
walkes
about
it
;
which
are
so
well
scituated
,
that
they
are
a
grace
to
all
Rome
,
the
rest
are
but
ordinarie
and
common
buildings
.
Thus
may
you
see
that
there
is
nothing
in
this
world
but
hath
a
period
,
to
which
if
with
much
labour
it
attaineth
,
then
it
commonly
declineth
,
seldome
continueth
:
for
who
knowes
not
with
what
labour
,
what
perills
by
sea
,
what
dangers
by
land
,
through
how
many
forreine
warres
and
Domesticke
seditions
,
Rome
was
raised
to
her
greatnesse
?
And
how
suddenly
was
all
this
lost
?
What
the
vertue
and
wisedome
of
graue
and
resolute
Consuls
,
Captaines
,
and
Commaunders
had
with
great
hazard
heaped
vp
;
thrusting
their
Capitol
and
other
Treasuries
ful
,
with
the
triumphant
spoiles
of
forreine
nations
,
was
left
to
be
consumed
either
by
seditious
souldiers
or
prodigall
Emperours
,
and
the
State
left
as
a
prey
to
those
that
were
mightiest
:
so
that
they
were
accounted
most
honourable
,
that
with
most
injurie
could
get
to
themselues
either
countenance
to
ouersway
authoritie
,
or
opulency
,
to
purchase
eminency
;
insomuch
that
there
hath
been
no
action
so
euill
,
nor
any
attempt
so
pernicious
in
former
times
,
but
may
be
matcht
in
the
declining
of
the
Romane
state
.
Where
more
murthers
?
where
more
corruption
?
where
more
oppression
than
is
mentioned
in
Histories
to
bee
practised
amongst
the
Romans
?
the
liues
of
men
,
the
state
of
Prouinces
,
and
the
crowns
of
Kings
sold
for
money
.
But
now
her
time
is
finished
,
and
her
ruins
are
left
for
succeeding
ages
to
admire
;
that
so
in
beholding
,
they
might
learne
to
know
the
difference
betweene
vertue
and
vice
;
and
from
thence
conclude
,
That
there
is
nothing
permanent
;
and
that
those
things
wherein
men
most
glorie
,
doe
oftentimes
soonest
decay
.
For
if
this
citie
which
commanded
the
nations
&
Princes
of
the
earth
(
whose
Colonies
,
Armies
,
Legions
,
confederacies
,
and
treasures
,
were
so
mightie
,
and
extended
so
farre
,
that
there
was
almost
no
countrey
vnconquered
,
or
nation
that
did
not
feare
to
heare
the
inhabitants
therof
named
)
is
made
desolate
and
laid
leuell
with
the
ground
:
what
then
may
be
said
of
pettie
Cities
,
Townes
,
Lordships
,
Manors
,
and
Houses
?
shall
not
they
likewise
be
subiect
to
the
like
calamities
,
&
wasted
and
destroyed
through
the
continuance
of
time
?
Verily
yea
:
Wherefore
let
not
the
king
glorie
in
his
power
,
nor
the
strong
man
in
his
strength
,
nor
the
rich
man
in
his
riches
:
but
let
him
that
glorieth
glorie
in
the
Lord
.
