The
Description
of
the
City
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
utterly
beat
down
and
overthrow
the
City
,
burning
the
costly
Temple
which
King
Solo●on
had
built
.
After
that
,
Zorobabel
and
the
High
Priest
Ioshua
,
when
they
returned
from
the
Captivity
of
Babylon
,
re-edified
and
built
again
both
the
City
and
the
Temple
,
in
the
Year
before
the
Birth
of
Christ
,
535.
But
the
second
Temple
,
which
was
built
after
their
Return
,
was
neither
so
fair
nor
so
great
as
the
first
;
for
it
was

another

was

The
Scituation
of
Jerusalem
,
and
the
Mountains
whereon
it
stood
.
JErusalem
was
four
square
,
and
scituated
upon
four
Mountains
,
viz.
Mount
Sion
,
Mount
Moriah
,
Mount
Acra
,
and
Mount
Bezetha
.
Mount
Sion
was
the
highest
of
all
,
and
lay
within
the
City
of
Ierusalem
towards
the
South
,
whereon
stood
King
David's
House
,
or
the
Castle
of
Sion
,
and
the
uppermost
Town
.
Mount
Moriah
,
whereon
the
Temple
stood
,
with
other
excellent
Buildings
and
Towers
,
was
on
the
East
side
of
the
City
,
within
the
Walls
.
Mount
Acra
,
whereon
the
lower
Town
was
built
,
stood
Westward
in
the
City
,
where
Annas
,
Caiphas
,
Pilate
,
Herod
,
Agrip●a
,
Bernice

Helena
,
and
other
Kings
and
great
Princes
dwelt
.
The
holy
City
of
Jerusalem
may
in
this
manner
be
briefly
described
.
THE
most
holy
and
beautiful
City
of
Ierusalem
(
if
any
would
consider
the
three
principal
parts
of
the
World
,
Europe
,
Asia
,
and
Africa
)
stood
in
the
midst
of
the
World
,
upon
most
high
Mountains
and
Rocks
,
like
an
earthly
Paradise
,
a
lively
Figure
of
the
everlasting
City
of
God
.
This
City
being
the
Metropolitan
or
principallest
City
of
the
Jews
,
stood
in
the
Tribe
of
Benjamin
;
at
the
first
it
was
called
Salem
,
that
is
,
Peaceable
:
when
Melchisedech
,
the
Priest
of
God
,
reigned
therein
,
which
he
also
built
after
the
Deluge
(
as
Iosephus
and
Egisippus
write
.
)
But
at
that
time
it
was
not
very
great
;
for
it
stood
only
upon
Mount
Sion
.
Mount
Moriah
,
where
Abraham
would
have
offered
his
Son
Isaac
,
stood
without
the
City
,
and
after
that
they
took
it
into
the
City
,
as
when
time
serveth
it
shall
be
declared
.
After
the
Death
of
Melchisedech
,
unto
whom
Abraham
paid
the
Tythes
of
all
his
Goods
,
the
Iebusites
dwelt
in
the
City
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
we
read
in
Iosh.

Iud.

and
2
Sam.

But
at
last
Ioab
,
King
David's
General
of
his
Army
,
won
it
,
and
drave
the
Jebusites
out
of
it
,
and
called
it
Ierusalem
,
that
is
,
A
Sight
or
Vision
of
Peace
.
It
hath
also
other
Names
in
the
holy
Scripture
;
for
,
in
Esay
29.
it
is
called
Ariel
,
that
is
,
God's
●yon
,
and
Mount
Libanus
[

](A30018-e10910-b)

was
made
of

calleth

is
,
a
City
wherein

had
placed
his

Habitation

The
Circuit
and
Bigness
of
the
City
Jerusalem
.
THE
City
of
Ierusalem
was
four-square
,
and
in
circumference
three
and
thirty
[

Which
make
four
English
Miles
,
and
a
Furlong
.
Furlongs
,
as
Iosephus
writeth
,
which
three
and
thirty
Furlongs
,
make
somewhat
more
than
a
Dutch
mile
.
Some
write
,
that
it
was
four
miles
Compass
about
,
yet
these
were
not
Dutch
miles
,
but
Walloon
or
Italian
miles
:
for
four
such
Italian
miles
are
a
Dutch
mile
.
Of
Mount
Sion
,
the
higher
City
.
MOunt
Sion
stood
Northwards
in
the
City
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
:
upon
this
Hill
,
the
upper
City
was
built
,
which
in
the
Scripture
is
called
the
City
of
David
,
because
David
won
it
from
the
Iebusites
,
and
beautified
it
with
many
goodly
Houses
and
fair
and
costly
buildings
:
but
especially
with
his
house
of
Cedar-wood
,
which
he
termed
the
Castle
of
Sion
,
which
stood
Westwards
at
the
corner
of
the
Hill
,
looking
into
Bethlehem
Southwards
.
In
that
house
David
dwelt
,
and
therein
committed
Adultery
with
Berseba
the
Wife
of
Vriah
the
Hittite
;
whose
House
also
with
the
place
of
divers
Privy
Councellors
and
Officers
,
stood
upon
the
Hill
,
not
far
from
the
King's
Palace
,
as
Iosephus
writeth
.
Beneath
King
David's
House
,
upon
Mount
Sion
,
within
a
Rock
,
there
was
to
be
seen
the
Sepulchre
or
Vault
,
wherein
King
David
,
Solomon
his
Son
,
and
other
succeeding
Kings
of
Iuda
,
were
entombed
and
buried
.
Upon
Mount
Sion
also
(
towards
the
East
)
King
Herod
had
a
Garden
of
Pleasure
,
not
far
from
the
Fountain
called
Silo
,
Nehemiah
3.
and
there
also
stood
the
Tower
of
Silo
,
whereof
Luke
in
the
13
chapter
maketh
mention
.
Iosephus
(
in
the
Wars
of
the
Jews
,
his
first
Book
,
and
sixteenth
Chapter
)
saith
,
That
King
Herod
,
under
whom
Christ
Jesus
was
born
,
had
two
fair
and
strong
Houses
or
Towers
,
which
he
set
and
made
in
the
upper
part
of
the
City
Ierusalem
,
upon
Mount
Sion
,
which
were
in
a
manner
comparable
with
the
Temple
for
Beautifulness
,
which
he
called
after
the
Name
of
his
Friends
;
the
one
Caesarea
,
for
Caesar
the
Emperor's
sake
,
and
the
other
Agrippa
,
acording
to
the
name
of
the
noble
Roman
Marcus
Agrippa
,
that
marryed
the
Daughter
of
Augustus
Caesar.
This
may
suffice
to
declare
the
Scituation
of
the
upper
City
,
which
stood
upon
mount
Sion
,
and
contained
in
Circuit
fifteen
Furlongs
,
which
is
about
half
a
mile
.
This
uppermost
City
,
in
the
sacred
Scripture
is
called
the
City
of
David
;
it
was
also
called
Millo
,
that
is
,
Fullness
or
Plenty
,
for
in
it
there
was
no
Want
,
but
Abundance
of
all
things
.
Of
the
Steps
which
descended
down
from
the
City
of
David
▪
unto
the
lower
City
.
MOunt
Sion
,
whereon
the
upper
City
of
Ierusalem
did
stand
,
was
such
a
high
hard
Hill
,
and
so
steep
,
that
no
man
could
climb
or
ascend
unto
it
by
any
way
or
means
but
only
one
,
that
is
,
by
steps
;
for
in
the
middle
thereof
there
was
a
great
pair
of
stairs
made
,
which
descended
from
David's
City
unto
the
lower
City
,
into
the
Valley
or
Dale
of
Gates
,
called
Thyroreion
,
which
stairs
were
780
Foot
[
*
](A30018-e11500-b)
*
That
is
206
yards
in
height
.
high
,
as
Iohannes
Heydonius
writeth
;
and
beneath
,
in
the
Valley
of
Thyroreion
,
over
against
the
Valley
of
Cedron
,
at
the
foot
of
the
stairs
stood
a
Gate
,
which
was
called
the
Gate
of
Sion
;
and
they
which
went
up
to
Mount
Sion
must
pass
through
that
Gate
,
and
so
up
those
Stairs
:
but
it
is
thought
,
nevertheless
,
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
.

or
Spiritual
Significations
of
Mount

SIon
in

signifieth
a
sure

or
goodly
Aspect
;
for
that
from
the
top
thereof
a
man
might
have
seen
all
the
Land
lying
thereabouts
;
and
was
a
type
of
the
highest
Heavens
,

Habitation
of
Almighty
God
,
from
whence
he
beholdeth
all
things
upon

;
from
which
Throne
and
Heavenly
Habitation
he
descended
into
this
lower
Ierusalem
,
and
became
our
Redeemer
and
Saviour
,
that
so
we
being
purged
by
his
Blood
,
from
all
our
Sins
and
Imperfections
,
he
might
bring
us
into
that
heavenly
Ierusalem
which
is
eternall
Glory
.
Of
Mount
Moriah
on
which
the
Temple
stood
.
MOunt
Moriah
stood
Eastward
within
Ierusalem
,
which
was
a
most
hard
stoney
Hill
,
from
whence
,
towards
the
rising
of
the
Sun
,
men
by
stairs
might
easily
descend
;
but
round
about
on
the
other
three
sides
it
was
steep
and
unapprochable
,
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
fair

unto

and
thereon
had
made

then
the

lay
without

The
Description
of
the
Temple
of
Jerusalem
.
THE
Temple
stood
upon
Mount
Moriah
,
was
fairly
built
,
and
artificially
contrived
,
of
white
Marble
Stones
,
which
were
so
well
conjoyned
or
closed
together
,
that
a
man
could
not
see
or
perceive
the
Junctures
or
Crests
of
them
:
and
the
inner
Walls
of
it
were
made
all
of
Cedar
wood
,
carved
with
the
similitude
of
Angels
,
Cherubims
,
roots
of
Palm-trees
,
and
with
flowers
of
divers
kinds
,
gilt
all
over
with
pure
Gold
,
and
set
with
precious
Stones
;
insomuch
,
that
all
parts
of
the
upper
Roof
within
the
Temple
,
did
shine
with
the
lustre
of
it
.
The
pavement
thereof
also
was
plated
all
over
with
fine
Gold
;
so
that
all
the
Temple
within
,
both
above
,
under
foot
,
and
on
every
side
and
corner
thereof
,
was
gilt
clean
over
:
but
without
,
it
was
of
smooth
polish'd
white
Marble
Stone
,
excellently
beautiful
and
fair
to
the
Eye
,
much
resembling
The
Roof
thereof
was
made
of
thin
planks
of
Olive-wood
,
all
covered
over
with
Plates
of
Gold
:
it
was
adorned
with
sharp
and
plain
spikes
of
Gold
,

Birds

defile
it
with

When
any
man
travelled

Ierusalem

and
saw
the
Temple
far
off
when
the
Sun
shined
thereon
,
the
white
marble
Stones
and
the
golden
Roof
thereof
,
did
cast
such
a
Light
and
reflexing
Brightness
from
them
,
that
it
did
make
the
Beholders
Eyes
dark
and
blind
with
looking
upon
it
.
Within
the
Temple
there
was
the
most
sacr●d
Quire
,
which
stood
at
the
West
end
thereof
,
the
which
Quire
,
was
formed
four
square
,
that
is
,
twenty
Ells
broad
,
long
,
and
high
.
This
Quire
was
called
the
Holy
of
Holies
,
wherein
it
was
lawful
for
no
man
to
enter
but
the
High
Priest
,
and
he
also
but
once
in
a
year
,
which
was
on
the
Feast
day
of
the
Propitiatory
Sacrifice
,
to
appease
God's
wrath
.
In
the
middle
part
of
the
Quire
there
stood
two
Cherubims
,
made
of
Olive-wood
,
covered
all
over
with
fine
Gold
,
whose
Faces
and
Forms
were
like
unto
young
Children
;
the
height
of
them
was
ten
Ells
;
each
of
them
had
two
Wings
,
which
were
five
Ells
broad
;
they
stood
one
right
against
the
other
,
so
that
with
the
innermost
Wings
they
touched
together
,
and
the
uttermost
sides
of
the
Wings
touched
the
sides
of
the
Quire
:
their
Faces
looked
towards
the
East
:
in
the
middle
,
under
the
Wings
of
the
Cherubims
,
was
placed
the
Ark
of
the
Covenant
;
but
after
the
Babylonian
Captivity
,
the
Ark
of
the
Covenant
stood
no
more
there
;
for
then
the
Holy
of
Holies
was
empty
,
and
nothing
seen
in
the
second
Temple
but
the
two
Cherubims
,
as
is
aforesaid
.
The
Wall
of
this
Quire
was
of
pure
Gold
,
excellent
fair
and
curiously
graven
:
In
this
Wall
of
the
most
holy
Quire
there
was
a
Gate
made
all
of
Gold
,
which
had
two
Leaves
or
little
dores
that
opened
and
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
Vail
or
Curtain
,
which
was
made
of
fine
Silk
,
woven
very
artificially
,
wherein
there
was
wrought
the
picture
of
the
Cherubims
,
with
Needle-work
of
diverse
colours
.
This
was
the
same
Vail
which
at
the
Passion
of
Christ
did
rent
in
sunder
from
the
top
to
the
bottom
,
to
shew
that
then
Aaron's
Levitical
Sacrifices
were
abolished
,
and
now
every
man
may
freely
approach
(
thorough
the
mercy
of
his
dearly
beloved
Son
)
unto
the
Presence
of
God's
heavenly
Throne
.
Before
the
most
sacred
Quire
there
was
builded
towards
the
East
,
a
place
within
the
Temple
containing
forty
Ells
in
length
,
twenty
in
breadth
,
and
thirty
in
height
,
closed
up
on
both
sides
with
golden
Walls
,
which
was
called
the
holy
place
or
Sanctuary
of
the
Temple
,
wherein
no
man
might
enter
but
only
the
Priest
,
when
he
offered
Incense
,
and
prayed
unto
God
.
In
the
middle
of
that
holy
place
there
stood
an
Altar
,
covered
with
plates
of
Gold
;
near
unto
which
,
the
Angel
Gabriel
appeared
unto
Zacharias
,
and
brought
him
the
glad
Tidings
,
That
Elizabeth
his
Wife
should
bear
him
a
Son
whose
Name
should
be
Iohn
,
who
should
prepare
the
way
of
Christ
.
At
the
South
end
of
this
Altar
,
upon
the
one
side
stood
the
holy
Candle-sticks
,
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
Candle-sticks
more
,
which
were
beautified
with
Lamps
,
Lillies
,
and
other
fair
Flowers
.
The
opening
doors
whereby
men
went
into
the
holy
place
,
were
also
very
rich
and
costly
,
made
of
Gold
,
with
carved
Cherubims
,
Palm-trees
,
and
broad
Flowers
thereupon
.
And
before
those
doors
also
there
were
hanging
Vails
or
Curtains
,
very
curiously
wrought
.
On
both
sides
of
the
Temple
there
were
certain
Walks
or
Galleries
,
which
were
three
Stories
high
one
above
another
,
and
on
the
right
side
there
stood
a
pair
of
turning
Stairs
,
by
the
which
,
men
went
up
to
the
Chamber
of
the
Temple
,
and
there
all
the
small
Vessels
,
and
other
things
belonging
to
the
Temple
,
were
kept
.
The
Roofs
of
these
Galleries
were
all
plated
over
with
Gold
,
but
that
part
was
somewhat
lower
than
the
principal
part
of
the
Temple
.
The
Windows
of
the
Temple
were
wide
within
and
narrow
without
.
The
Gates
of
the
Temple
were
made
of
pure
Gold
,
five
and
twenty
Ells
high
,
and
sixteen
Ells
broad
;
but
especially
the
Gate
that
stood
Eastward
in
the
Temple
,
was
exceeding
high
,
which
in
the
second
Book
of
Kings
,
chap.
25.
is
called
the
high
Gate
:
and
as
Iosephus
saith
,
the
said
Gate
was
ninety
Ells
high
,
the
Doors
whereof
,
were
forty
Ells
long
and
twenty
Ells
broad
,
gilt
all
over
,
and
richly
embossed
,
beautified
with
Cherubims
and
precious
Stones
.
The
Wall
before
this
Gate
,
towards
the
East
,
was
pure
Gold
,
embossed
and
curiously
engraven
in
manner
of
Vines
,
with
great
golden
Leaves
as
big
as
the
stature
of
a
Man
,
whereon
there
did
hang
the
picture
and
form
of
Grapes
,
which
were
made
of
fine
Chrystal
.
Within
that
high
Gate
also
there
did
hang
a
Vail
or
Curtain
as
long
and
broad
as
the
Gate
within
:
This
Vail
was
made
of
a
piece
of
Babylonian
Tapistry
,
wonderfully
wrought
,
and
made
of
Silk
,
beautified
with
divers
Colours
,
of
Scarlet
,
Purple
,
and
Velvet
;
and
as
Iosephus
writeth
,
the
Sphere
of
the
Heavens
was
wrought
therein
,
but
the
twelve
Signs
were
not
;
and
when
the
Wind
blew
,
the
Vail
did
move
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
Roofs
,
which
were
made
all
of
polish'd
Stone
,
with
fair
marble
Pillars
,
beautified
with
all
kind
of
Colours
,
in
which
Porches
,
men
praised
and
served
God
.
The
first
was
called
the
upper
Porch
,
where
none
but
the
Priest
might
enter
when
he
offered
and
served
God
;
which
Porch
stood
next
unto
the
high
Quire
.
The
second
was
called
Solomon's
Hall
or
Porch
;
there
the
People
used
to
pray
,
and
in
that
Court
our
Saviour
Christ
preached
,
Ioh.
10.
The
third
Porch
King
Herod
built
,
adding
that
thereto
for
the
Heathen
People
,
which
also
came
unto
Ierusalem
to
pray
.
These
three
Porches
went
four
square
round
about
the
Temple
,
as
the
Temple
it self
was
,
and
between
these
Porches
there
were
also
spaces
left
,
supported
with
pillars
of
Marble
,
and
close
above
the
head
,
for
men
to
walk
under
when
it
rained
,
which
were
all
made
of
Cedar
and
Cypress-wood
,
and
of
marble
stone
,
beautified
with
Gold
.
But
towards
the
East
,
right
over
against
the
high
Quire
of
the
Temple
,
there
the
Porches
were
broadest
and
greatest
.
Here
gentle
Reader
you
may
note
,
that
as
often
as
in
the
Description
of
the
Temple
I
speak
of
certain
Ells
,
you
must
not
understand
such
Ells
as
we
use
here
in
our
Country
,
but
only
of
the
Geometrical
Ells
or
Elbows
,
which
are
called
Cubits
,
being
the
length
of
one
foot
and
a
half
,
or
six
hands
in
breadth
,
and
two
such
Ells
or
Cubits
do
contain
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
Z●r●babel
and
Ios●uah
,
or
Iesu
the
Son
of
Iozedeck
made
after
the
Captivity
in
Babylon
;
but
that
was
twenty
cubits
lower
,
and
inclosed
about
with
two
Porches
also
.
But
King
Herod
Ascalonita
,
the
great
King
of
the
Jews
,
Son
of
〈◊〉
Idum●●●
,
sixteen
years
before
the
Birth
of
Christ
,
pulled
down
that
Temple
,
and
built
a
new
Temple
up
from
the
ground
,
which
was
like
to
Solom●n's
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
Sanctuary
for
Pilgrims
and
Strangers
,
as
Iosephus
writeth
,
An●iq
.

But
some
do
think
,
which
is
more
likely
,
that
the
said
Herod
did
but
repair
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
understood
,
that
Solomo●
▪
Porch
was
made
with
a
Wall
in
the
middle
thereof
,
wherein
,
on
the
Northside
,
the
Jewish
Women
that
were
unspotted
and
undefiled
,
used
to
pray
;
and
on
the
other
side
(
being
South
)
the
Jewish
Women
,
who
also
according
to
the
Law
,
were
unspotted
,
prayed
;
as
Iosephus
saith
,
lib.

A
particular
description
of
the
three
several
Porches
or
Courts
belonging
to
the
Temple
.
IN
the
upper
Porch
,
which
stood
right
over
against
the
high
Quire
in
the
Temple
,
there
was
an
Altar
of
Brass
proportioned
four
square
,
consisting
of
20
Cubits
in
length
,
and
20
Cubits
in
breadth
,
extending
to
ten
Cubits
in
height
,
beautified
with
golden
horns
,
whereon
they
used
to
offer
burnt
Sacrifices
of
Oxen
,
Sheep
,
Turtle
Doves
,
Calves
,
and
other
things
.
Also
,
in
times
past
,
there
stood
the
great
molten
Sea
,
made
by
King
Solomon
,
and
the
two
brazen
Pillars
which
were
made
with
Knobs
,
Pomegranates
,
and
Lillies
,
very
costly
,
and
most
artificially
done
;
and
ten
Kettles
upon
Tre●●●
;
but
those
Kettles
and
Pillars
with
Knobs
and
Pomgranates
,
and
the
great
molten
Sea
made
by
King
Solomon
,
were
carried
away
by
Nebuchadnezzar
King
of
Babylon
,
and
broken
in
pieces
:
after
which
Captivity
,
they
were
never
seen
more
in
the
Temple
,
for
there
were
no
more
made
.
But
the
Altar
of
●rass
with
the
great
horns
,
whereon
they
offered
Oxen
,
Sheep
,
and
Doves
,
was
made
again
and
stood
there
,
as
I
said
before
,
by
which
there
stood
divers
Tables
,
whereon
they
killed
their
Offerings
.
In
this
Court
also
there
was
a
goodly
Fountain
,
with
the
Water
whereof
,
they
used
to
wash
the
Blood
of
the
Beasts
out
of
the
Temple
.
For
there
were
certain
holes
and
gutters
between
the
marble
Stones
,
whereby
the
Water
ran
under
the
Earth
,
and
through
the
Earth
was
conveyed
in
a
Pipe
into
the
Lake
Kidron
.
In
this
Court
,
Zacharias
the
Son
of
Barachias
was
killed
,
between
the
Temple
and
the
Altar
,
Mat.
23.
And
Zacharias
the
High
Priest
,
the
Son
of
Ioiadah
,
was
stoned
to
death
,
2
Chron.
24.
It
was
compassed
about
with
a
great
Wall
,
made
of
marble
stone
of
divers
colours
,
wherein
there
were
divers
doors
to
go
out
and
in
,
decked
with
lofty
Towers
and
pleasant
Walks
made
of
Cedar-wood
,
resembling
our
ancient
Cloisters
.
But
principally
toward
the
East
it
had
a
great
Gate
of
70
Ells
or
Cubits
high
,
and
25
broad
,
all
covered
over
with
gold
,
(
as
Iosephus
writeth
)
standing
always
open
,
without
any
dores
to
shut
,
that
every
man
might
look
into
it
when
the
Priest
served
God
.
If
any
man
offered
any
thing
,
he
brought
it
to
the
Priest
before
the
Gate
,
but
might
not
go
in
himself
.
Iere●y
,
cha.
26.
and
36.
calleth
it
the
New
Gate
.
Here
also
was
the
Chappel
of
Gemaria
the
Son
of
Saphan
,
in
which
Chappel
,
B●ru●h
read
the
book
of
the
Prophet
Ieremy
to
the
People
,
Ier.
36.
And
when
the
Sun
was
in
Capricorn
,
it
shone
right
in
at
that
Gate
,
and
through
the
high
Quire
of
the
Temple
to
the
Holy
of
Holies
(
as
Iosephus
writeth
.
)
Of
the
second
or
middle
Court
,
called
Solomon's
Porch
.
THis
Court
was
something
lower
than
the
other
;
for
from
it
to
the
u●permost
,
they
went
by
certain
steps
,
and
in
Iohn
10.
is
called
S●lomon's
Porch
;
which
(
as
Iosephus
writeth
)
was
parted
in
the
middle
with
a
Wall
,
wherein
on
the
North
side
,
the
Jewish
Women
that
were
clean
and
undefiled
used
to
pray
,
and
on
the
South
the
Men
,
according
to
the
Law
[

:
But
no
unclean
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
Portal
curiously
made
of
marble
stone
,
and
between
it
stood
Pillars
of
Marble
,
whereon
was
ingraven
in
Hebrew
,
Greek
,
Latine
,
and
Idumaean
Tongues
,
this
Sentence
,
O●nis
aliemnigena
accide●s
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
over
the
Eastern
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
go
into
Solomon's
Porch
under
danger
of
his
Life
.
Here
Simeon
took
the
Child
Jesus
in
his
Arms
,
and
said
,
Lord
,
let
now
thy
Servant
depart
in
Peace
according
to
thy
Word
,
for
mine
eyes
have
seen
thy
Salvation
,
&c.
At
the
same
time
also
the
Prophetess
Ann●
the
Daughter
of
Phanuel
,
of
the
Tribe
of
Ashur
,
made
a
notable
Prophesie
of
the
Child
Jesus
to
all
the
People
of
Israel
,
Luk.
2.
and
after
Jesus
was
baptized
,
in
this
place
he
taught
,
wrought
Miracles
,
and
did
many
worthy
and
memorable
Actions
.
The
Apostles
also
commonly
met
together
in
this
Court
,
and
here
the
Holy
Ghost
descended
upon
them
.
Here
stood
the
Treasury
which
Heliodorus
thought
to
have
robbed
,
but
was
prevented
by
the
Angel
of
God
,
2
Mac.

This
was
the

Treasury
wherein
the
poor
Widow
cast
the
two
Mites
,
whom
Christ
commended
for
the
same
,
as
appears
,
Mark

Upon
which
,
St.
Ambrose
saith
,
Deny
not
to
cast
two
Mites
into
this
Treasury
,
that
is
,
Faith
and
Grace
,
since
by
them
thou
shalt
be
made
capable
of
a
ce●estial
Kingdom
;
neither
flatter
thy self
with
thy
Riches
,
because
thou
canst
give
more
than
the
Poor
,
for
God
respects
not
how
much
,
but
with
what
Devotion
thou
givest
thy
Reward

And
here
Christ
absolved
the
Adulteress
that
was
accused
to
him
,
being
sorry
for
her
offence
;
saying
,
I
came
not
to
condemn
,
but
to
save
Sinners
that
repent
.
Upon
which
,
St.
Chrysostom
saith
,
Although
thou
art
a
Publican
,
yet
thou
mayst
be
made
an
Evangelist
;
though
a
Persecuter
of
the
Church
,
yet
an
Apostle
;
though
a
Thief
,
yet
of
the
City
of
Paradise
;
though
a
Magician
,
yet
thou
may'st
worship
God
;
for
there
is
no
Sin
so
dangerous
,
but
Repentance
may
obtain
Pardon
.
Not
far
from
this
Treasury
there
stood
certain
Galleries
,
curiously
adorned
with
marble
Pillars
,
the
root
whereof
was
plated
with
Silver
and
Gold
,
and
was
close
above
the
Head
,
that
when
it
rained
,
men
might
walk
under
them
dry
,
and
indeed
,
did
much
resemble
our
ancient
Monasteries
.
The
dores
of
these
Walks
were
covered
over
with
Gold
and
Silver
;
so
also
was
that
high
Gate
whereby
men
went
Eastward
into
Solomon's
Porch
,
and
was
fifty
Cubits
high
,
and
the
dores
forty
,
as
Iosephus
writeth
.
Of
the
third
Court
or
Porch
,
wherein
the
Heathens
used
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
sixteen
years
before
the
Birth
of
Christ
,
and
about
six
and
forty
before
he
began
to
preach
,
Iohn
4.
It
was
so
spatious
,
and
sumptuously
built
,
that
it
amazed
the
Beholders
,
containing
an
hundred
Cubits
in
breath
,
and
seven
hundred
and
twenty
Cubits
in
length
,
lying
Eastward
towards
the
Brook
Kidron
:
the
Pavement
was
of
Marble
of
divers
colours
,
like
the
other
Courts
;
the
Walls
,
with
the
marble
Pillars
,
were
five
and
twenty
Cubits
high
;
and
the
Walks
about
it
very
curiously
made
,
were
thirty
Cubits
broad
.
This
was
called
Vestabulum
Gentium
,
where
the
Heathens
as
well
as
the
Jews
,
might
enter
and
pray
.
Out
of
this
place
Christ
drave
the
Buyers
and
Sellers
,
overthrew
the
Tables
of
the
Money-Changers
,
and
the
seats
of
those
that
sold
Doves
,
Io.

Mat.
21.
And
it
stood
something
lower
than
Solomon's
Porch
.
All
these
three
Courts
were
inclosed
within
high
Walls
and
Walks
resembling
our
Cloisters
,
where
round
about
the
Temple
,
at
every
corner
of
which
,
stood
very
high
Towers
,
whereon
,
when
the
Sabbath
day
came
,
one
of
the
Priests
over
night
went
and
sounded
a
Trumpet
,
to
signifie
that
the
next
day
was
the
Sabbath
(
for
then
there
were
no
Bells
.
)
The
Wall
of
this
uttermost
Court
(
as
Iosephus
writeth
)
was
in
height
(
reckoning
from
the
bottom
to
the
Valley
of
Kidron
)
four
hundred
Cubits
,
and
adorned
with
goodly
Towers
,
upon
the
Pinnacles
of
which
,
were
built
Summer
houses
and
fair
Walks
,
from
whence
we
might
see
into
the
Temple
,
and
clean
over
the
Town
.
These
were
called
the
Pinnacles
of
the
Temple
,
and
were
so
high
,
that
when
one
looked
down
from
them
into
the
Valley
,
their
eyes
dazled
in
such
manner
,
that
they
could
not
see
;
as
Iosephus
writeth
li.
Antiq.
15.
ca
14.
Upon
one
of
these
Pinnacles
the
Devil
carried
our
Saviour
Christ
saying
,
If
thou
be
the
Son
of
God
cast
thy self
down
,
&c.
Mat.

And
Iames
the
son
of
Alphaeus
,
by
the
Commandment
of
Annas
the
High
Priest
,
was
from
thence
thrown
into
the
Valley
of
Cedron
,
and
falling
upon
a
Fullers
instrument
died

The
Gate
towards
the
East
was
thirty
cubits
high
,
and
had
dores
opening
two
wayes
15
cubits
broad
(
as
Ios.
writeth
)
made
of
pure
brass
that
shone
like
pure
gold
and
silver
,
artificially
made
and
cunningly
embossed
,
insomuch
as
it
was
called
the
beautiful
Gate
of
the
Temple
:
as
Peter
and
Iohn
was
going
into
the
Temple
by
this
Gate
,
they
healed
a
man
that
had
been
born
lame
from
his
Mothers
Womb
,
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
Solomon's
Porch
,
was
fifty
cubits
:
the
third
which
went
into
the
highest
and
last
Court
was
seventy
cubits
,
and
the
great
high
Gate
of
the
Temple
was
ninety
Cubits
high
,
so
that
every
Gate
of
the
Temple
was
twenty
Cubits
one
higher
than
another
:
And
in
in
these
Gates
there
were
benches
made
for
men
to
sit
on
.
There
were
many
other
Gates
and
dores
on
both
sides
,
some
60
some
20
Cubits
broad
,
all
almost
made
of
pure
Gold
,
and
of
such
weightiness
,
that
(
as
Iosephus
writeth
in
his
second
book
to
Appius
)
two
hundred
men
could
scarce
open
and
shut
them
.
Egi●ppus
writeth
,
That
Vespasian
coming
before
the
Temple
to
assault
it
,
commanded
his
Souldiers
to
burn
one
of
the
golden
Gates
(
which
then
was
shut
)
that
so
he
might
overcome
the
same
,
and
with
a
strong
hand
carry
away
a
most
glorious
Victory
:
for
it
was
wonderfully
fortified
both
by
Nature
and
Art
;
it
had
deep
Ditches
,
lofty
Towers
like
unto
Castles
of
defence
;
and
moreover
,
compassed
about
with
Bulwarks
and
strong
Walls
,
insomuch
that
it
was
not
possible
to
be
won
but
with
extream
difficulty
and
great
labour
.
When
the
Gate
was
fired
,
the
gold
that
ran
from
it
was
in
great
abundance
:
and
by
this
means
the
Conquest
was
made
easie
.
This
shall
suffice
to
have
spoken
of
the
Buildings
of
the
Temple
.
The
Allegorical
or
Spiritual
meaning

the
Tem●le

THE
terrestial
Temple
built
by
Solomon
was
pattly
a
figure
of
our
Saviour
Christ
,
and
partly
of
his
Church
.
For
when
the
Son
of
God
suffered
the
Temple
of
his
holy
Body
to
be
destroyed
,
and
was
risen
again
from
the
dead
,
Iohn

then
he
raised
up
to
us
the

possible

The

THE
Temple
also
is
a
figure
of
the
heavenly
Glory
,
and
of
everlasting
Life
to
come
,
where
the
Angels
and
Cherubims
being
ingraven
and
pictured
to
the
image
of
Man
,
do
represent
the
Congregation
of

,
who
in

sing

The
two
Cherubims
placed
upon

seat
in
the
holy

,
signifie
the
Old

,
which
contains
the
Doctrine
of
Christ
;
and
as
their
wings
touched
one
another

the

so
likewise
is
it
in
the

The

THE

us

The

inlighteneth
his
Church

with
the
sound
and
uncorruptible
Doctrine
of
the
Gospel

Neither
ought
they
to
be

but
by
the

of
their

be
a

unto

feet
,
Psal.
119.
that
so
their
works
may
return
to
his
glory
and
the
good
of
his
Church
.
And
as
all
the
branches
were
united
into
the
body
of
the
Candlestick
,
so
every
Minister
and
faithful
Child
of
God
ought
to
be
united
into
the
Body
of
Christ
,
without
any
Schismatical
dissention
or
seperation
.
The
Flowers
and
Lillies
denote
the
Ornament
and
Graces
of
the
holy
Spirit
,
which
Christ
hath
bountifully
bestowed
upon
his
Ministers

The
Lights
and
Lamps
do
admonish
all
godly
Ministers
to
a
diligent
care
,
lest
the
light
of
Gods
divine
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
preserved

The
Mystery
of
the
golden
Table
.
THE
golden
Table
whereon
the
Shew-bread
stood
,
being
compassed
about
with
a
pretious
Crown
,
signifies
the
Ministry
of
the
Gospel
.
For
the
Bread
that
is
set
before
us
,
is
Christ
,
that
Bread
of
Life
which
descended
out
of
Heaven
,
Iohn
.
6.
and
he
by
the
Ministry
of
the
twelve
Apostles
is
mystically
offered
unto
us
in
the
Sacrament
of
the
Lords
Supper
,
that
whosoever
eateth
thereof
as
they
ought
,
might
have
eternal
Life
.
The
Frankincense
that
stood
by
the
Bread
,
admonishes
us
,
that
earnest
Prayers
and
Godly
actions
are
to
be
used
in
the
time
of
the
administring
of
the
Lords
Supper
.
For
as
Macarius
saith
,
if
the
Devil
was
as
strong
as
Mountains
,
yet
at
the
Prayers
of
the
Saints
,
he
melteth
as
Wax
before
the
fire
.
And
St.
Cyril
saith
,
That
Christ
is
the
Table
upon
which
the
Bread
of
Life
is
set
,
whereby
all
the
Faithful
are
nourished
unto
eternal
Life
.
And
the
Crown
about
this
Table
is
the
goodness
and
mercy
of
God
,
whereby
we
are
crowned
,
and
brought
to
Eternal
happiness
.
St.
Ierom

That
this
Table
was
a
figure
of
the
Table
and
the
Supper
in
the
Kingdom
of
God

THE
Vine
in
the
East
part
of

,
made
of
shining
Gold
,
fitly
resembles
our

The

of
the

THE
upper
Court
was
a
figure
of
the
Spiritual
Priesthood
of
Jesus
Christ
,
who
hath
made
us
all

The
Mystery
of
the
Fountain
,
and
molten
Sea
standing
upon
twelve
Oxen
,
in
the
uppermost
Court
.
THE
molten
Sea
and
Fountain
was
a
figure
of
Baptism
,
and
that
living
Water
issuing
from
the
Wounds
of
Christ
,
whereby
we
are
washed
from
all
our
Sins
;
the
La●er
of
Regeneration
,
whereby
we
are
made
capable
of
Eernal
Life
;
that
Well
of
Water
whereof
if
we
drink
we
shall
never
thirst
.
The
twelve
Oxen
represent
the
twelve
Apostles
,
whose
voices
have
gone
through
the
World
(
according
to
that
in
the
Corinthians
)
and
have
carried
the
Sea
of
Grace
through
all
parts
of
the
Earth
.
Of
which
Water
(
saith
St.
Augustine
)
if
thou
drinkest
but
one
drop
,
it
is
more
effectual
to
quench
the
thirst
of
Worldly
and
insatiable
desires
,
than
an
Ocean
of
earthly
Waters
.
The
Mystery
of
the
middle
Court
.
SOlomon's
Court
,
wherein
Christ
taught
,
and
in
which
the
Jews
used
commonly
to
pray
,
was
a
figure
of
that
Church
which
should
be
gathered
from
amongst
the
Jewes
.
For
from
thence
he
indeavoured
first
to
assemble
and
gather
together
a
Christian
Congregation
,
according
to
that
which
he
spake
to
the
Canaanitish
Woman
,
Mat
15.
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
have
yet
other
sheep
which
I
must
also
bring
hither
,
that
sothere
might
be
one
sheepfold
,
one
Pastor
,
&c.
Of
the
rest
of
the
memorable
Buildings
standing
upon
mount
Moriah
.
HAving
thus
described
the
Temple
,
together
with
the
several
Courts
and
Ornaments
,
all
which
did
typically
represent
Christ
and
his
Church
,
I
will
now
proceed
to
the
rest
of
the
Buildings
standing
upon
mount
Moriah
.
The
first
and
most
memorable
was
the
house
of
Solomon
,
which
stood
just
against
the
Temple
upon
the
South
:
it
shined
so
with
Gold
and
Silver
,
and
was
so
stately
and
sumptuously
built
,
that
when
Queen
Saba
came
to
Ierusalem
,
she
stood
amazed
to
see
it
.
There
belonged
to
it
divers
Courts
and
Walks
,
in
one
of
which
the
Prophet
Ieremy
was
prisoner
,
Ier.
37.
Over
against
this
he
made
the
Judgment-hall
,
in
which
he
placed
the
Ivory
Chair
,
spoken
of
1
Kin.
10.
He
built
by
that
another
house
for
his
Queeen
,
she
that
was
daughter
of
Pharaoh
,
1
Kin.
7.
But
when
Nebuchadnezzar
conquered
Ierusalem
,
all
these
,
together
with
the
Temple
,
were
burnt
and
utterly
de●aced
.
Of
the
Peol
of
Bethesda
.
UPon
the
North
lay
that
sheep-fold
,
or
sequestred
place
,
called
Bethesda
,
Ioh.
5.
which
had
five
porches
or
Xenodochius
,
as
some
would
have
it
:
here
Cattel
came
to
drink
,
and
the
Priests
used
to
wash
their
Sacrifices
;
because
no
unclean
Beast
might
come
within
the
Temple
,
nor
any
thing
that
was
foul
or
spotted
be
offered
upon
the
Altar
.
The
water
was
of
reddish
colour
,
and
ran
into
that
place
in
great
abundance
,
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
,
whosoever
stepped
in
,
was
presently
cured
:
and
here
our
Saviour
Christ
healed
the
Man
that
had
been
diseased
38
years
,
Ioh.
5.
This
place
was
made
by
King
Hezekiah
,
who
caused
the
water
of
the
uppermost
Pool
,
which
was
called
G●●on
not
far
from
mount
Calvary
,
to
be
conveyed
by
Pipes
and
passages
through
the
Earth
into
the
lower
city
called
Acra
,
and
so
fell
into
this
place
,
for
which
cause
it
was
called
the
lower
Pool
.
The
Allegorie
or
mystery
hereof
is
,
That
every
one
of
Christs
Sheep
ought
to
be
washed
in
the
Pool
of
his
Blood
,
before
,
they
can
be
made
fit
Sacrifices
to
enter
into
his
Temple
or
Church
,

at
first
built
by

Machabees
,
and
called
by

but
after
,
King
Herod
,
taking
affection

that
place
,
bestowed

upon
it

walled
it

,
built
up
sumptuous
Towers

made
it
very

then
gave
it
the

in
favour
of
Antonius

noble
Roman
;

a
long

sustained

therefore
called

and
here
,
as
some
think
,
our
Saviour
Christ
ate
the
Paschal

with
his
Disciples

I
rather
think
it
was
in
the
Suburbs

Of

to
the

,
towards
the
East
,
not

from

and
near
the
Castle
Antonia
,
there
was
builded
a
lofty
and
strong
Tower
or
Palace
called
Ophel
,
that
is
,
a
place
of
darkness
:
it
was
a
very
sumptuous
thing

Here
the
Centurions
commonly
kept
watch
.
Of
Mount
Acra
,
and
the
buildings
upon
it
.
MOunt
Acra
(
as
is
aforesaid
)
stood
upon
the
West
side
of
Ierusalem
;
it
was
a
very
high
Mountain
,
and
took
that
name
from
the
Greek
word
Acra
,
a
sharp
or
high
Hill
.
It
was
much
higher
than
mount
Moriah
in
times
past
,
till
Simon
,
Iudas
Machabeus's
brother
,
caused
it
to
be
cut
lower
,
to
make
it
equal
in
height
with
mount
Moriah
,
Between
these
two
Hills
lay
the
Valley
Cedron
,
which
was
in
profundity
400
Cubits
.
Upon
this
Mountain
another
part
of
the
City
was
builded
,
being
strongly
fortified
,
and
richly
adorned
with
sumptuous
houses
,
of
which
David
and
Sol●mon
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
〈◊〉
and
Eusebius
)
that
it
it
exceeded
the
rest
of
the
City
.
Here
stood
the
house
of
Helena
Queen
of
the
Adiabeno●s
,
near
about
the
midst
of
it
,
as

.

which
Queen
being
converted
to
the
Jewish
Religion
,
built
her
an
house
in
this
City
,
that
she
might
pray
in
the
Temple
.
Here
stood
the
houses
of
her
Sons
,
Monebasius
and
Grapta
:
here
stood
the
houses
of
the
High
Priests
Annas
and
Caiphas
,
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
here
,
near
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
Royal
Seat
,
was
after
the
death
of
this
Herod
a
Palace
for
his
Successors
,
Archilaus
and
Herod
Agrippa
.
Not
far
off
he
caused
two
fair
Theatres
to
be
also
built
;
the
one
in
honour
of
the
Emperour
Augustus
;
and
this
on
the
one
side
joyned
to
a
Tower
called
Acropolis
,
(
which
was
built
by
Antigonus
Epiphanes
,
on
purpose
to
place
a
Garrison
in
,
to
keep
the
Jews
in
bondage
;
which
Iudas
Machabeus
afterwards
made
level
with
the
ground
)
and
on
the
other
side
,
towards
his
own
Palace
.
It
resembled
a
Semi-circle
,
made
all
of
white
Marble
,
fairly
polished
,
the
Building
somewhat
low
;
within
,
full
of
high
Banks
,
one
rising
above
another
like
Scaffolds
,
so
that
the
whole
multitude
might
easily
hear
or
see
whatsoever
was
said
or
done
.
It
was
curiously
beautified
with
Gold
,
Silver
,
and
many
goodly
Pictures
;
but
amongst
the
rest
,
the
Battels
which
the
Emperour
Augustus
had
won
against
his
People
,
were
lively
pourtrayed
.
To
this
place
,
as
well
Jews
as
Gentiles
resorted
to
see
Interludes
and
Plays
Acted
.
The
other
was
an
Amphitheatre
,
and
stood
upon
the
South
side
of
the
House
:
it
was
built
round
in
a
whole
Circle
,
compassed
bout
with
high
Walls
,
large
and
spatious
.
Here
they
used
to
Fence
and
to
Fight
both
on
Horse-back
and
in
Waggons
.
And
in
the
fifth
year
,
in
honour
of
Augustus
,
the
Circensian
Games
,
according
to
the
Rites
of
the
Gentiles
,
were
very
sumptuously
performed
.
On
the
south
side
of
this
Amphitheatre
,
stood
Queen
Bernice's
house
,
Sister
to
Agrippa
junior
:
it
was
a
very
fair
and
sumptuous
Building
,
little
inferior
to
King
Herods
.
This
stood
in
the
Market
place
,
and
so
all
along
were
very
sumptuous
and
stately
Pillars
▪
Here
Agrippa
himself
had
also
an
House
,
and
over
against
that
,
upon
the
North
,
stood
the
Judgment-hall
,
where
the
Sanhedrim
,
or
the
Councel
of
the
seventy
Elders
used
to
meet
,
to
hear
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
Pilate
the
Pretor
,
fairly
glistering
with
Gold
;
in
which
house
all
the
Roman
Pretors
and
Presidents
for
the
most
part
had
their
Residence
:
and
here
our
Saviour
Christ
was
whipt
,
crowned
with
Thorns
,
and
spit
upon
.
Not
far
off
from
this
Pretor's
house
,
stood
the
Chancery
,
or
rather
,
as
we
term
it
,
the
Treasury
,
a
stately
and
magnificent
house
,
curiously
built
,
and
appointed
onely
to
lay
Records
and
common
Chronologies
in
.
Here
also
the
Officers
of
the
Town
gave
in
their
Accounts
,
and
Creditors
entred
their
Debts
.
This
was
utterly
destroyed
by
Vesp●tian
.
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
Wars
many
great
Battels
were
fought
there
,
as
Iosephus
saith
.
In
this
Market
place
,
close
by
Pilates
house
,
stood
a
high
Seat
or
Tribunal
,
made
of
fair
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
Latins
,
Lapidanium
;
and
with
us
it
might
be
termed
an
heap
of
Stones
;
[
*
](A30018-e15260-b)
*
Or
a
well
wrought
stone
.
(
for
so
the
word
signifieth
.
Here
Pilate
taking
water
,
washed
his
hands
before
the
People
,
and
said
,
I
am
innocent
of
this
mans
blood
:
At
which
they
cried
,
His
blood
be
upon
us
and
our
Children
.
And
after
,
by
Gods
appointment
,
according
to
their
own
wish
,
fell
upon
them
;
for
in
the
same
place
,
and
close
by
this
same
Seat
,
it
hapned
,
that
Herod
wanting
money
,
demanded
of
the
Jews
so
much
out
of
their
Treasury
(
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
Fountain
some
two
hundred
furlongs
off
it
)
but
the
Jews
supposing
it
a
needless
work
,
not
only
denied
him
,
but
gave
him
many
outragious
and
spiteful
speeches
,
tumultuously
flocked
about
him
,
and
with
great
clamors
prest
upon
him
,
even
as
he
was
in
his
Seat
:
wherefore
perceiving
the
danger
,
and
to
prevent
mischief
,
he
sent
to
his
Souldiers
to
apparel
themselves
like
Citizens
,
and
under
their
Gowns
to
bring
with
them
a
Dagger
or
Ponyard
,
and
mingle
themselves
among
the
multitude
,
which
they
did
,
observing
who
they
were
that
made
the
greatest
uproar
;
and
when
Herod
gave
the
sign
,
fell
upon
them
with
their
Ponyards
,
killing
a
great
multitude
.
The
rest
,
seeing
this
Massacre
,
suspecting
Treason
amongst
themselves
,
fell
one
upon
another
;
and
many
for
fear
of
loss
,
or
to
avoid
future
danger
,
killed
themselves
.
In
this
very
place
also
,
Florus
,
General
of
the
common
Souldiers
,
within
few
years
after
,
upon
a
small
occasion
,
made
another
cruel
Massacre
,
and
much
more
barbarous
than
the
former
;
for
he
spared
none
,
the
best
of
them
he
caused
to
be
whip'd
to
death
,
or
else
crucified
and
put
to
the
Sword
;
and
for
the
Vulgar
,
spared
neither
Woman
nor
Child
.
So
that
within
the
compass
of
one
day
there
died
of
this
obstinate
and
wicked
Nation
,
above
seven
hundred
and
thirty
.
This
outrage
was
so
cruel
,
that
all
Strangers
which
inhabited
within
the
Town
pitied
their
misery
;
but
especially
Queen
Bernice
,
who
,
being
partly
frighted
with
their
shreeks
,
partly
moved
to
commiseration
through
the
extremity
of
their
Affliction
,
indangered
her
life
to
present
her self
before
Florus
,
and
upon
her
knees
besought
him
to
take
some
mercy
and
pity
of
them
,
and
withdraw
his
hand
of
vengeance
from
the
blood
of
the
guiltless
.
But
the
fury
of
the
Roman
Souldiers
was
so
fierce
,
and
the
Resolution
of
Florus
so
unremoveable
,
that
neither
her

not
the
present
Calamities
could
perswade
him
.
But
,
as
in
such
uproars
it
commonly
happeneth
,
she
with
the
rest
was
in
danger
of
her
Safety
,
and
was
constrained
the
next
night
,
for
the
preservation
of
her
Estate
,
to
keep
a
strong
Watch
,
lest
the
Roman
Souldiers
should
have
done
her
some
violence
.
Thus
we
may
see
a
just
revenge
of
a
perjured
and
stiff-necked
People
,
and
that
in
the
place
where
the
Offence
was
committed
,
though
at
least
eight
and
thirty
years
after
.
In
this
Market-place
Agrippa
had
built
a
Gallery
all
of
Marble
,
from
his
own
house
to
the
Judgment-hall
;
it
was
covered
above
,
and
made
with
divers
and
sundry
Rooms
for
men
to
walk
in
,
all
burnished
with
Gold
,
and
called
by
the
name
of
Xiston
,
as
Iosephus
hath
it
.
Here
Agrippa
after
this
cruel
Massacre
made
an
Oration
to
the
People
(
Queen
Bernice
standing
by
him
)
to
this
effect
;
That
they
should
forbear
to
raise
any
more
commotions
against
the
Romans
,
and
to
banish
the
Seditious
out
of
the
City
,
for
that
they
saw
their
cruelty
;

To
this

there
joyned
a
Bridge
,
which
pass'd
over
the
Valley
of
Cedron
to
the
Temple
.
And
amongst
many
other
fair
and
sumptuous
Buildings
that
were
upon
this

,
there
were
the
Colledges
of
the
Pharisees
,
Sadduces
,
and
the
Synagogues
and
Schools
for
the

of
Youth
,
which
were
dispersed
here
and
there
among
other
stately
Buildings
;
and
this
was
called
the
lower
Town
.
Of
the
Valley
of
Cedron
.
BEtween
this
lower
City
and
the
Temple
,
there
was
a
deep
Valley
,
extending
it self
from
the
Gate
of
Benjamin
through
the
middle
of
the
City
to
the
Gate
of

From

(

the

whosoever

such

There
was
another
Valley
which
lay
between
Mount
Sion
and
these
Mountains
,
called
by
the
name
of
Tyrexdon
.
Of
the
Mountain
Bezetha
.
THis
place
lay
Northward
in
Ierusalem
,
and
between
it
and
the
former
Hills
were
deep
Ditches
cast
;
it
had
two
Towns
standing
upon
it
,
divided
with
two
Walls
,
and
was
commonly
called
the
Suburbs
;
the
name
of
the
one
,
which
lay
nearest
to

,
was
called
the

the
other
that
lay

was

It
was
adorned
with
many
fair
and
sumptuous
Buildings
,
among
which
was
that
princely
house
Of
Herod
Ascalonites
,
that
great
and
mighty
King
of
the
Iews
,
in
whose
time
our
Saviour
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
an
hundred
Tables
:
the
Hall
also
was
very
great
,
and
richly
gilded
with
refined
gold
intermixt
with
Silver
:
about
it
were
many
pleasant
and
delectable
Walls
,
goodly
Gardens
and
Fountains
for
pleasure
:
it
was
compass'd
with
a
wall
of
polisht
Marble
30
Cubits
high
.
And
(
as
Valerius
writeth
)
in
that
house
Herod
caused
Christ
to
be
mocked
,
put
a
long
white
garment
upon
him
in
contempt
,
and
so
sent
him
to
Pilate
.
Here
also
was
a
Prison
,
in
which
Peter
was
kept
when
the
Angel
of
the
Lord
delivered
him
,
Acts
12.
Of
the
Town
Neapolis
,
or
the
New
City
.
THis
lay
without
the
Walls
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
upon
the
North
side
of
the
Hill
.
Here
dwelt
the
Christians
,
and
other
Laborers
and
Strangers
:
and
by
all
likelihood
,
it
seems
that
the
house
of
Mary
the
Mother
of
Iohn
,
sirnamed
Mark
,
stood
here
,
which
,
because
of
the
continual
resort
of
the
Apostles
thither
,
was
called
the
house
of
the
Church
.
Hither
Peter
resorted
when
he
was
delivered
from
the
hands
of
Herod
by
the
Angel
:
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
City
,
and
loe
it
opened
of
it self
.
And
from
thence
he
went
to
the
house
of
Mary
the
Mother
of
John
,
sirnamed
Mark.
Here
also
(
in
my
opinion
)
Christ
celebrated
the
last
Paschal
Lamb
,
because
after
Supper
he
went
into
the
Mount
of
Olives
,
for
this
lying
unwalled
,
lay
open
for
them
to
go
and
come
at
their
pleasure
.
But
afterward
in
Herod
Agrippa's
time
,
it
was
begun
to
be
compassed
in
with
a
Wall
,
and
before
it
could
be
fully
finished
,
the
Angel
of
the
Lord
struck
him
,
and
he
died
miserably
:
Here
also
stood
the
Monument
of
Iohn
Hircanus
the
High
Priest
,
and
of
Alexander
King
of
the
Iewes
,

The
tops
of
the
Houses
in
the
City
Ierusalem
were
flat
,
and
covered
with
fair
and
plain
Roofs
,
compassed
about
with
Battlements
;
upon
which
they
used
to
Leap
,
Dance
,
and
Banquet
,
and
such
Recreations
as
they
observed
upon
their
Festival
days
,
were
there
celebrated
.
And
thus
much
shall
serve
to
have
spoken
of
the
Mountains
or
Hills
whereon
Ierusalem
stood
.
Of
the
Walls
that
compassed
the
City
.
THis
City
of
Ierusalem
was
so
strongly
fortified
by
Nature
on
every
side
,
except
the
North
,
(
for
it
stood
upon
high
Rocks
and
Cliffs
)
that
it
seemed
to
be
invincible
.
And
,
that
that
side
might
be
the
better
strengthened
,
they
compassed
it
in
with
three
Walls
,
and
those
so
strong
,
that
when
Vespasian
the
Emperor
and
his
Army
invaded
the
City
,
they
had
much
ado
to
conquer
them
.
The
first
of
these
Walls
was
that
which
Agrippa
built
,
and
it
compassed
in
Neapolis
,
otherwise
called
the
New
Town
.
At
the
North-west
end
of
which
Wall
,
was
built
an
exceeding
high
Tower
of
very
fair
Marble
stone
;
so
high
,
that
standing
on
the
top
thereof
,
a
man
might
see
from
thence
to
the
Sea
,
and
into
Arabia
,
and
the
uttermost
bounds
of
Iudaea
.
This
Tower
was
called
Psephina
.
The
second
Wall
was
that
which
divided
the
two
Suburbs
;
wherein
there
stood
14
Towers
and
Gates
.
This
King
Hezekiah
built
,
2
Chr.
32.
in
a
corner
of
which
,
between
the
West-gate
and
the
Valley-gate
,
there
stood
a
high
Tower
,
wherein
all
the
night
great
fire
was
made
,
which
cast
a
light
a
great
way
off
round
about
;
so
that
Travellers
passing
towards
Ierusalem
were
guided
by
it
in
their
way
.
Of
this
light

read
in
Nehem.

The
third
Wall
compassed
in
the
Temple
,
and
all
the
lower
City
;
in
it
was
sixty
Towers
,
but
the
chief
of
them
stood
in
the
East
Angle
,
between
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
:
upon
this
Wall
King
Herod
the
Ascalonite
built
three
fair
Towers
;
one
between
the
Garden-gate
and
the
Old-gate
,
which
he
called
Hippicum
,
in
honour
of
his
Father
Hippicus
;
the
other
Phaselum
,
in
honour
of
his
Brother
Phasilus
;
and
the
third
Mariamne
,
after
his
Wives
name
,
who
notwithstanding
he
caused
innocently
to
be
put
to
death
.
These
three
Gates
were
built
of
polish't
Marble
.
Pliny
and
Strabo
say
,
that
this
was
the
fairest
and
most
spacious
City
of
the
East
;
and
for
the
munition
and
fortification
almost
invincible
.
The
Walls
of
it
were
all
of
white
polish't
Marble
,
some
25
or
30
Cubits
high
▪
the
stones
were
20
Cubits
long
,
20
broad
,
and
5
thick
,
so
closely
joyned
,
that
the
junctures
could
scarcely
be
perceived
.
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
thick
,

which
things
being
rightly
considered
,
we
may
easily
perceive
that
these
Walls
were
very
difficult
to
be
destroyed
:
Neither
were
the
Ditches
of
less
strength
that
went
about
the
Town
;
for
they
were
cut
out
of
hard
stones
,
at
least
forty
Cubits
deep
,
and
two
hundred
and
fifty
Cubits
broad
,
which
were
impossible
to
have
been
won
,
if
God
had
not
help'd
and
assisted
the
Romans
,
filling
up
those
Ditches
with
the
Bodies
of
those
that
died
of
the
Plague
and
Famin
within
the
Town
.
Of
the
Gates
of
Jerusalem
.
IT
had
twelve
Gates
to
go
out
and
in
:
Upon
the
East
side
lay
five
,
the
first
of
which
was
the
Fountain
Gate
,
which
was
so
called
of
the
Fountain
Siloah
.
And
this
stood
close
by
the
Gate
of
mount
Sion
,
in
which
Fountain
the
Man
that
was
born
blind
wash'd
himself
at
the
Commandment
of
our
Saviour
,
and
had
his
sight
restored
,
Ioh.

And
at
this
Gate
Christ
came
riding
in
upon
an
Ass
,
when
he
came
from
Bethania
,
on
Palm
Sunday
.
2.
The
Sheep-gate
,
which
was
so
called
of
the
multitude
of
sheep
that
were
driven
in
by
it
,
to
be
offered
in
the
Temple
(
for
it
stood
hard
by
the
Temple
.
)
Right
before
this
Gate
stood
Mount
Olivet
,
some
half
an
English
mile
and
a
furlong
from
Ierusalem
,
Eastward
;
by
it
stood
the
Garden
called
Gethsemane
,
where
Christ
was
taken
▪
and
led
into
the
City
through
this
Gate
;
to
be
offered
up
like
an
innocent
sheep
,
for
the
sins
of
the
whole
World
.
3.
The
Dung-gate
:
this
took
the
name
from
a
Dung-hill
,
because
the
Rain-water
coming
with
great
power
th●ough
the
City
,
washed
away
the
filth
,
and
with
great
violence
,
carried
it
through
this
Gate
into
the
Pool
Cedron
.
Not
far
from
this
Gate
was
the
Water-gate
,
and
stood
a
little
within
it
.

The
Valley

,
which
took

Name

lay
not

other
Gate
.
Hereabouts
also
stood
the
Dragon-gate

The
Horse-gate
,
and
stood
just

The
Rain-gate
,
so
called

because
the

cleansing

carried

all
the

,

so
past
through
this

so
called

because

Sea
Fish

it
was
also
called

Here
the
Prophet
Ieremy

And
out
of

they
went

But
on
the
South
side
there
were
no
Gates
,
for
there
Mount
Sion
stood
,
which
was
so
high
and
steep
that
no
Man
could
go
up
upon
it
.
Of
the
Gates
within
the
City
.
THE
Gate
of

the
Water-gate

of
which
two
I
have
already

and
it

it
stood

in
the
Valley
Cedron

not
far
from
the
Tower
called
Mariamne
.
The
Iron
Gate
,
which
opened

,
when
the
Angel
led
Peter
out
of

,
Acts

this
stood
in
the
City
Walls
,
passing
from
one
Suburb
into
another
:
all
these
Gates
stood
within
the
City
.
And
thus
much
shall
suffice
to

spoken

the
Pourtraiture
of
it
.
Of
the
Springs

Valleys

Places

as

how
to
the
four
parts
of
the
World
.
IN
the
next
place
,
it
resteth
to
shew
what
things
worthy
memory
were
about
,
and
stood
near
to
the
City
:
the
first
of
which
was
,
the
Brook
Cedron
,
which
sprung
out
of
a
Hill
not
far
from
it
upon
the
South
,
and
with
great
swiftness
ran
through
the
East
part
of
the
City
,
and
so
between
Ierusalem
and
the
Mount
of

,
to
the
Valley-gate
of
Iehosaphat
:
thence
passing
through
the
Cliffs
of
Mount
Olivet
,
it
ran
directly
East
till
it
came
to
the
Dead
Sea
;
which
Brook
in
the
Summer
time
was
most
commonly
dry
.
The
Water
of
it
was
something
Black
,
which
colour
the
Valley
Jehosaphat
(
which
was
very
fertile
)
gave
it
;
and
from
thence
it
was
called
Nigrescens
torrens
,
a
blackish
stream
.
This
is
mystically
spoken
of
,
in
2
Sam.
and
Psa.

Where
it
is
said
,
He
(
that
is
our
Saviour
Christ
)
shall
drink
of
the
Brook
in
the
way
:
which
he
fulfilled
,
when
he
made
satisfaction
for
our
Sins
by
his
Death
and
Passion
,
as
it
appeareth
in
the
69
Psalm
,
Save
me
O
God
,
&c.
Into
this
Brook
ran
the
Water
of
Silo
,
and
that
which
came
out
of
the
Temple
.
Of
the
Mount
of
Olives
and
Bethania
,
which
signifies
a
House
of
Mourning

THese
two

the
one
lay
upon
the
East

the
other
South-west

about
half
an
English

and
a

.
Of
Bethania
you

Not

from

From
whence
may
be
observed
,
That
as
Solomon
upon
that
Hill
was
Crowned
King
,
so
Christ
upon
this
was
Crucified
;
our
Saviour
and
the
true
Solomon
,
that
made
everlasting
peace
between
God
and
us

From

In

the

,
spake
Blasphemous

against

,
as

Of
the
Valley
of
the
Son
of
Hinnon
.
THis
Valley
lyeth
behind
the
City
of
Ierusalem
Southward
,
on
the
left
hand
as
they
went
from
Jerusalem
to
Bethlehem
.
In
this
Valley
the
Jews
set
up
an
Idol
of
Copper
like
a
King
,
which
they
called
Moloch
,
that
is
,
a
King
of
Idols
.
This
Copper
Idol●stood
with
the
Arms
stretching
out
,
and
under
it
there
was
a
great
Fire
,
whereby
the
Image
shewed
fire-red
:
and
besides
that
,
the
more
to
honour
it
,
they
made
a
great
Fire
between
two
Walls
,
which
burnt
for
his
sake
:
and
through
this
Fire
the
Idolatrous
Priests
cast
living
Children
into
Moloch's
burning
Arms
,
which
he
with
his
Arms
red
hot
burnt
to
Death
.
And
in
this
manner
the
Jews
offered
up
their
own
Children
to
the
Idol
Moloch
:
and
when
they
did
it
,
they
made
a
great
noise
and
cry
,
and
beat
upon
a
Drum
,
that
the
Fathers
when
their
Children
were
offered
,
should
not
hear
them
cry
,
by
reason
of
the
great
noise
of
the
Drums
.
This
Valley
was
called
the
Valley
of
Tophet
;
for
Tophet
signifies
a
Drum
.
This
was
a
most
gross
and
fearful
Idolatry
,
and
therefore
Christ
likened
this
Valley
of
Hinnon
to
Hell-fire
;
for
he
called
it
Gehenna
,
Mat.

That
the
Iewes
should
keep
themselves
from
this
Monstrous
Idolatry
,
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
live

Jerom
writeth
,
that
here
,
by
this
Idol
Moloch
,
in
the
Valley
of
Hinnon
,
there
was
a
Wood
;
for
the
Water
ran
out
of
the
Fountain
Siloah
along
by
it
,
and
made
the
Valley
Moist
.
Of
the
field
of
Blood
,
called
Hakeldama
.
THis
Field
of
Blood
,
which
was
bought
for
thirty
silver
Pence
,
for
the
which
Judas
betrayed
our
Saviour
Christ
,
lay
not
far
from
the
Valley
of

,

,

the
City
of
Jerusalem
,

THis

something
wide
of
Mount
Olivet

so
that
there
was
but
one
Valley
between
them
,
and
was
not
altogether
so
high
as
it
.
Also
upon
this
Hill
King
Solomon
in
his
old
age
suffered
his
Wives
or
Concubines
to
make
Idolatrous
Temples
,
wherein
he
and
his
Wives
worshipped
Idols
.
Of
the
Destruction
of
this
famous
City
of
Jerusalem
by
TITUS
VESPASIAN
.
THus
have
have
I
briefly
set
forth
the
Dignity
,
Scituation
and
Curiosity
of
the
Buildings
of
Ierusalem
:
together
with
the
Richness
of
the
Temple
and
sumptuousness
of
the
Houses
;
now
it
rests
to
describe
unto
you
,
the
manner
and
means
how
this
Famous
City
was
destroyed
;
surely
a
thing
worthy
Wonder
(
according
to
that
in
Ieremy
)
Whosoever
shall
hear
of
it
his
Ears
shall
tingle
.
And
that
it
might
be
the
more
famous
,
and
the
Christians
within
it
might
take
notice
of
the
near
approaching
Desolation
,
there
were
divers
strange
Accidents
happened
,
and
Visions
seen
.
As
first
,
about
some
four
years
before
,
the
River
Iordan
was
turn'd
out
of
her
course
,
and
was
brought
into
the
City
Pella
:
A
while
after
that
,
for
a
Year
together
,
there
hung
a
Comet
like
a
flaming
Sword
over
the
City
▪
and
in
the
Night
there
was
seen
a
Light
in
the
Temple
:
And
in
the
Day
when
they
were
at
Sacrifice
,
a
Calf
brought
forth
a
Lamb.
Then
about
the
middle
of
the
Night
,
the
Eastern
Gates
of
the
Temple
opened
of
their
own
accord
.
In
the
Skies
were
seen
Armies
of
Men
Fighting
,
and
Horses
and
Chariots
running
to
and
again
.
And
at
last
there
was
heard
a
terrible
Voice
in
the
Temple
,
uttering
these
Words
,
Migremus
Hinc
;
that
is
,
Let
us
go
●ence
.
And
that
there
might
be
a
general
Proclamation
of
this
sad
and
cruel
Desolation
through
the
whole
City
,
one
Anani●s
the
Son
of
Jesus
,
a
Man
poor
and
Impotent
,
upon
the
Feast
of
the
Tabernacles
,
ran
through
all
the
streets
of
the
City
,
and
crying
,
O
,
a
Voice
from
the
East
,
and
a
Voice
from
the
West
,
a
V●ice
from
the
four
Wi●d●
,
a
Voice
over
Jerusalem
and
the
Temple
,
a
Voice
over
the
Bridegroom
and
the
Bride
,
and
a
Voice
over
the
whole
multitude
of
this
City
.
And
although
he
was
Whipt
and
Imprisoned
,
and
cruelly
handled
,
yet
so
long
as
he
lived
he
would
not
cease
to
utter
these
words
,
which
by
somewere
judg'd
to
foretell
the
horrible
Desolation
which
after
hapned
.
For
Ti●us
Caesar
,
Son
of
Fl●vius
the
Emperour
,
about
seventy
years
after
the
Nativity
of
our
Lord
,
and
about
eight
and
thirty
after
his
Ascension
,
utterly
overthrew
it
,
even
to
the
ground
,
about
the
first
day
of
the
Month
of
April
,
and
within
a
year
after
these
signs
.
For
he
,
taking
advantage
of
the
three
Factions
which
at
this
time
swayed
in
Ierusalem
:
One
of
Eleazar
the
the
Priest
,
the
Son
of
Simon
;
the
other
of
Zilotus
the
chief
Prince
which
held
the
Temple
;
and
the
third
of
Iohannes
Giscalenus
,
a
cruel
fellow
,
which
had
the
command
of
the
inferior
.
City
;
besieged
it
,
and
made
this
a
fit
opportunity
to
further
his
Enterprises
,
while
the
Seditious
and
factious
People
little
regarding
their
own
Safety
,
gave
way
by
their
evil
and
intestine
Wars
,
to
what
he
intended
,
weakning
themselves
much
more
by
their
continued
slaughters
,
than
the
Enemy
by
his
Invasion
.
Insomuch
as
the
whole
City
,
and
Temple
was
filled
with
dead
Bodies
;
common
Insolencies
and
publick
Rapines
were
ordinarily
amongst
them
:
some
set
fire
of
the
City
,
others
despoiling
the
Temple
,
a
third
for
killing
the
Priests
,
even
as
they
were
at
Sacrifice
;
all
places
full
of
dead
Bodies
;
and
to
this
,
to
add
a
greater
measure
of
misery
(
without
any
regard
at
all
to
their
future
defence
)
set
fire
of
the
store-house
wherein
the
Corn
lay
for
the
sustentation
of
the
City
,
and
consumed
that
in
one
day
which
had
been
long
a
gathering
:
by
this
means
it
came
to
pass
,
that
they
were
sorely
afflicted
with
the
Pestilence
through
the
corruption
of
the
Air
,
and
with
Famin
for
want
of
Corn.
All
these
things
notwithstanding
(
such
was
the
cruelty
,
obstinancy
,
and
perverseness
of
this
People
)
could
not
restrain
them
from
violating
the
most
Sacred
and
holy
things
of
the
Temple
:
insomuch
as
Iohannes
Giscalenus
had
a
full
determination
to
have
destroyed
it
,
but
that
he
was
prevented
by
the
Romans
.
About
this
time
was
the
Feast
of
the
Passeover
,
and
it
fell
upon
the
fourteenth
day
of
April
,
being
the
Sabbath
;
to
the
Celebration
whereof
,
there
resorted
to
Ierusalem
about
three
hundred
thousand
Iewes
.
These
the
Enemy
gave
way
to
enter
into
the
City
;
but
considering
their
present
necessity
for
want
of
Victuals
,
upon
a
suddain
drew
up
their
Forces
,
and
so
straitly
beleaguered
them
,
that
all
this
huge
multitude
was
(
as
it
were
)
〈◊〉
within
the
Walls
,
where
partaking
of
the
former
misery
,
they
either
di●d
by
the
Plague
or
Famin.
Whence
may
be
perceived
the
marvellous
Providenc●
of
God
,
that
even
on
the
same
day
,
and
in
the
very
same
place
,
where
but
eight
and
thirty
years
before
,
our
Saviour
Christ
suffered
,
the
Authors
of
such
cruelty
suffered
a
most
just
and
severe
revenge
.
Now
as
the
Army
of
the
Romans
lay
upon
the
North
of
the
City
,
Titus
drew
out
a
Band
of
six
hundred
Horse
to
ride
about
,
to
behold
and
view
the
Walls
of
the
Town
:
but
as
he
was
in
this
manner
wondring
at
the
sumptuous●e●s
of
the
City
,
the
Jewes
in
great
multitudes
slipt
out
at
a
Postern-gate
,
and
set
upon
him
so
fiercely
,
that
they
endangered
his
Person
,
being
without
Armour
;
and
had
he
not
with
great
difficulty
broke
through
them
,
and
recovered
the
Tower
of
the
Romans
,
he
had
bin
there
slain
.
But
presently
upon
this
,
se●●ng
the
danger
,
he
besieged
the
City
in
three
parts
;
himself
,
a●
the
Emperour
of
the
Army
,
built
a
Castle
about
some
two
Furlongs
from
the
City
▪
〈◊〉
against
the
Tower
Pse●hina
,
the
other
part
of
the
Army
was
〈…〉
the
Tower
Hi●●ieus
,
not
far
from
the
Garden
of
the
Resurrection
,
and
the
third
part
had
their
Castle
in
the
Mount
of
Olives
,
some
five
Furl●n●s
or
thereabouts
from
the
City
.
Then
did
he
build
Bul●●rks
,
make
Engi●s
,
and
wonderful
Devices
,
for
the
battering
of
the
Walls
;
and
combining
himself
with
some
of
the
Iews
,
upon
the
seventh
day
of
the
second
Month
,
which
answereth
to
the
Month
of
May
,
with
great
difficulty
and
much
labour
entred
the
first
Wall
,
which
lay
upon
the
North
,
and
won
Mount
B●zeth●
and
Neapolis
.
Upon
the
twelfth
of
the
same
Month
(
which
was
the
Sa●●ath
day
)
he
entred
the
second
Wall
,
which
divided
the
Suburbs
▪
but
this
was
again
the
same
day
recovered
by
the
virtue
of
the
Jews
,
so
that
the
Jewes
were
constrained
to
fight
upon
the
Sabbath
day
,
according
to
the
Prop●●●y
of
our
Saviour
Christ
,
Matt.
24.
But
after
,
upon
the
sixteenth
of
this
Mo●th
of
May
,
the
Romans
again
recovered
this
Wall
,
and
kept
it
in
their
own
custody
.
Within
a
while
after
,
in
the
Month
of
June
,
(
about
this
time
the
Famin
growing
intolerable
within
the
Town
)
Titus
,
in
the
space
of
three
day●
,
compassed
in
the
whole
City
of
Jerusalem
with
a
Wall
,
and
〈…〉
Towers
and
Castles
,
lest
any
of
the
Jewes
should
fly
to
sav●
t●emselves
.
Thus
was
the
Prophecy
of
our
Saviour
Christ
fulfilled
,
Thy
〈◊〉
shall
compass
.
thee
about
and
hem
thee
in
on
every
side
.
Iosephus
was
now
in
the
City
,
and
walking
upon
the
Walls
,
earnestly
intreated
the
Jewes
to
desist
,
and
no
longer
to
oppose
the
Romans
,
but
this
was
so
hateful
a
speech
to
many
,
that
they
began
to
fling
Darts
at
him
.
And
although
at
this
time
the
extremity
of
the
Famin
was
so
sore
,
that
many
died
for
want
of
sustenance
,
yet
all
perswasions
were
in
vain
;
and
such
was
the
Calamity
,
that
as
well
those
as
went
out
,
as
those
that
continued
in
the
City
,
were
in
like
danger
of
their
lives
;
for
they
were
either
slain
by
the
Enemy
,
or
else
by
the
Pestilence
and
Famin
;
common
Injuries
,
and
unmerciful
Outrages
still
attending
upon
War
.
Their
Misery
did
rather
increase
than
at
all
lesson
it self
;
for
the
jealousie
of
Treason
,
the
hope
of
Riches
and
the
madness
of
the
Seditious
,
distracted
the
minds
of
the
Citizens
with
continual
fears
,
and
filled
the
Streets
full
of
Murther
and
daily
spectacles
of
lamentable
Tragedies
:
The
Markets
were
unfrequented
with
Corn
,
the
Victuals
with
Viol●nce
consumed
and
taken
from
the
true
owners
.
And
if
it
chanced
that
some
one
had
more
than
would
serve
his
turn
,
though
he
dwelt
in
a
fair
and
stately
Building
,
yet
the
remotest
Room
and
most
unfrequented
he
made
his
Tabernacle
,
and
that
little
which
was
left
,
with
great
parcimony
he
consumed
,
together
with
his
life
,
till
both
were
ended
.
Those
that
were
Fathers
and
Senators
of
the
People
(
though
before
served
and
attended
with
reverence
and
great
state
)
in
this
confusion
were
glad
of
a
small
morsel
,
though
with
much
contention
.
The
Wife
was
not
ashamed
to
take
away
the
Meat
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
took
it
,
ransack'd
the
rooms
round
about
,
whilest
the
Master
thereof
was
made
a
laughing-stock
and
mournful
Spectator
of
those
mischiefs
.
But
according
to
the
condition
of
Souldiers
,
whose
natural
disposition
is
to
be
violent
,
without
any
regard
either
of
Sex
or
Kindred
,
committed
daily
outrages
.
So
that
here
you
might
have
seen
the
Mothers
weeping
over
their
dying
Infants
,
whilst
their
husbands
were
massacred
in
the
streets
by
the
Seditious
.
The
increase
of
days
were
the
increase
of
Torments
,
and
the
daily
wants
of
such
as
were
in
Power
,
being
unaccustomed
to
such
evils
,
caused
them
to
invent
new
means
to
satisfie
their
desire
,
and
practice
unusual
Torments
,
for
no
other
purpose
but
to
find
out
Sustenance
:
yea
,
such
was
their
insatiable
●●irst
of
blood
,
that
they
spared
not
him
whom
but
now
gave
them
all
he
had
,
and
lest
he
should
live
to
cumber
the
City
,
either
hang
him
up
by
the
heels
till
he
died
,
or
else
pulled
out
his
Entrails
with
a
sharp
Iron
.
Those
that
went
out
in
the
Night-time
when
the
Romans
were
asleep
,
to
gather
herbs
,
the
Seditious
would
meet
,
and
with
violence
take
what
they
had
got
from
them
:
And
though
with
tears
and
lamentations
,
and
prayers
upon
their
knees
,
they
intreated
but
for
one
part
,
a
small
moiety
of
that
which
a
little
before
they
had
got
with
danger
of
their
Lives
,
yet
they
would
not
give
it
them
,
and
scap't
fairly
if
they
went
away
with
Life
.
These
Insolencies
were
committed
by
the
common
Souldiers
,
upon
such
as
were
the
meaner
sort
of
People
.
But
for
the
rest
that
were
either
Honourable
or
Rich
,
they
became
a
Prey
to
the
Captains
and
Commanders
,
some
accused
as
Traitors
,
and
that
they
would
have
betrayed
the
City
to
the
Romans
;
others
as
Fugitives
,
that
they
would
forsake
the
City
;
most
under
pretence
of
one
crime
or
other
,
despoiled
of
that
they
had
.
And
they
whom
Iohn
had
thus
oppressed
,
were
entertained
of
Simon
,
and
whom
Simon
had
injured
,
they
were
entertained
,
by
Iohn
;
both
drunk
the
blood
of
the
miserable
Citizens
like
Water
,
so
that
the
desire
of
Rule
was
the
cause
of
their
dissention
,
the
concord
of
their
evil
and
cruel
actions
.
There
was
an
infinite
number
that
perished
in
this
City
by
Famin
,
insomuch
as
houses
were
filled
with
the
bodies
of
Infants
and
Children
.
The
Angle-gate
was
thrust
full
of
dead
corps
.
The
young
Men
that
remained
walked
up
and
down
the
City
like
Images
of
Death
.
The
old
Men
were
destroyed
by
the
Pestilence
,
the
contagion
of
which
disease
taking
away
their
Senses
they
became
Mad.
And
of
such
as
died
among
the
Seditious
,
their
Wives
or
kindred
had
not
room
nor
time
to
bury
them
,
but
as
they
were
putting
them
into
the
Grave
,
they
also
dyed
.
Yet
for
all
this
,
amongst
this
Miserable
Society
,
there
was
no
Weeping
,
no
complaining
,
no
deploring
of
their
necessities
;
for
the
violence
of
the
Famin
having
dryed
up
their
radical
moisture
,
the
fear
of
grief
was
taken
from
them
:
and
such
as
had
most
cause
to
lament
,
and
were
most
pricked
with
the
sting
of
sorrow
,
before
they
could
utter
their
grief
died
,
the
beholders
not
shedding
a
Tear
:
so
that
through
the
whole
City
there
was
a
still
silence
,
and
a
thick
mist
of
Death
and
Destruction
didfully
possess
the
same
.
But
the
Seditious
were
much
more
cruel
than
these
were
oppressed
with
Calamity
and
Sorrow
;
for
some
opened
the
graves
of
the
Dead
,
and
taking
out
their
Bodies
thrust
them
thorow
with
their
Swords
;
others
to
try
the
sharpness
of
the
Edge
of
their
Weapons
,
would
fall
upon
those
that
were
yet
alive
,
and
when
they
had
slain
them
,
go
away
laughing
at
their
pleasure
.
So
that
,
as
Iosephus
saith
,
there
was
scarce
any
mischief
under
the
Sun
,
but
was
both
practised
and
tollerated
in
this
City
.
To
conclude
,
by
Sedition
the
Romans
conquered
the
City
,
and
Sedition
conquered
the
Romans
,
All
love
and
modesty
,
through
this
extream
and
intolerable
Famin
,
became
utterly
extinct
,
and
the
dearest
Friends
would
kill
one
another
for
a
crust
of
bread
;
the
fairest
Lady
commit
open
Adultery
for
a
little
sustenance
.
Their
food
was
extraordinary
,
and
such
as
men
did
loath
and
hate
;
some
would
feed
upon
Snails
and
Worms
,
others
of
old
hay
chop'd
small
;
many
eat
Corn
either
unground
or
made
into
Bread
:
some
pluckt
the
Meat
from
the
spit
raw
,
others
with
their
teeth
gnaw'd
off
the
leather
off
their
Shields
;
and
that
very
mouth
which
cried
,
Crucifie
him
,
Crucifie
him
,
let
his
Blood
be
upon
us
and
our
Children
,
was
constrained
to
feed
upon
three
sorts
of
Dung
,
that
is
to
say
,
Doves
dung
,
Oxe
dung
,
and
Mans
dung
.
Moreover
,
many
were
constrained
,
for
meer
necessity
,
to
feed
upon
the
dead
Bodies
of
such
,
as
a
little
before
Died
,
partly
by
Famin
,
partly
by
the
Pestilence
.
And
to
conclude
,
for
very
madness
eat
up
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
Iews
had
been
full
of
Gold
,
thorow
covetousness
of
that
gain
,
in
one
night
killed
2000
of
them
,
and
ript
up
their
Bellies
;
and
had
not
Titus
Caesar
,
by
a
severe
Edict
,
forbidden
these
cruel
and
unheard
of
slaughters
,
there
had
been
many
more
slain
.
To
make
an
end
of
this
unheard
of
Famin
,
I
will
repeat
one
memorable
Example
out
of
Josephus
,
of
an
Outrage
which
a
Mother
committed
even
upon
her
own
Son
.
There
was
a
Woman
of
the
Inhabitants
beyond
Jordan
,
whose
name
was
Mary
,
of
the
stock
of
Eleazar
,
and
of
the
Town
Bethezor
,
which
signifies
,
the
House
of
Hysop
;
she
was
of
a
Noble
and
rich
Family
,
and
amongst
others
,
went
to
Jerusalem
,
in
hopes
of
Safety
,
where
she
was
likewise
oppressed
with
the
misery
of
this
Siege
;
for
as
soon
as
she
had
brought
all
her
Riches
and
Substance
into
the
City
,
which
she
had
before
beyond
Jordan
,
this
Famin
growing
greater
and
greater
upon
the
Inhabitants
,
the
Seditious
perceiving
that
this
Woman
was
well
furnished
both
with
Riches
and
Sustenance
,
on
a
suddain
set
upon
her
house
,
despoiled
her
of
her
Substance
,
took
away
her
Sustenance
,
and
utterly
deprived
her
of
all
means
to
live
.
She
being
pricked
with
the
misery
and
calamity
of
the
Times
,
saw
it
little
prevailed
to
strive
,
wherefore
with
Tears
,
upon
her
knees
,
she
intreated
that
she
might
have
but
some
small
part
of
that
they
had
taken
from
her
,
to
maintain
her self
and
her
Son
with
life
;
but
the
Seditious
gave
little
ear
to
her
intreaties
:
wherefore
,
being
moved
to
extream
anger
,
she
daily
cursed
,
with
contumelious
words
,
those
barbarous
Villains
,
that
had
thus
rob'd
her
of
all
her
means
:
but
when
she
saw
that
neither
Anger
nor
Intreaty
could
procure
Mercy
,
and
through
the
Town
not
one
morsel
of
food
was
to
be
found
,
partly
prest
with
an
extream
necessity
,
partly
with
a
furious
rage
,
beyond
all
nature
and
compassion
,
laid
violent
hands
upon
her
own
Son
,
and
accounted
an
untimely
Death
more
honorable
,
than
that
he
should
live
to
be
a
Prey
to
the
Seditious
,
or
a
Slave
to
the
Romans
.
The
Body
of
this
Infant
she
Rosted
and
Eat
:
the
Soldiers
of
the
Town
being
prest
with
hunger
,
smelling
the
Meat
,
supposing
,
that
as
in
former
times
,
they
should
have
found
plenty
,
with
violence
broke
in
upon
her
,
and
look
what
she
had
provided
,
greedily
consumed
,
and
compelled
her
to
fetch
the
rest
;
which
she
did
,
and
when
they
were
well
satisfied
,
she
shewed
them
the
Head
and
Feet
of
her
Son
:
which
they
perceiving
,
loathing
the
inhumanity
of
the
fact
,
with
dejected
countenance
departed
.
This
Famin
was
so
extream
,
that
one
measure
of
grain
was
worth
a
Talent
,
that
is
600
Crowns
.
But
the
Romans
all
this
while
did
abound
with
plenty
of
all
things
,
and
to
vex
the
Iewes
,
they
shewed
them
the
great
abundance
of
their
store
,
for
the
neighbouring
Provinces
sent
them
supplies
.
After
this
Famin
,
there
followed
an
extreme
Plague
,
procured
partly
through
the
stench
of
the
Bodies
that
lay
unburied
,
partly
by
the
multitude
of
Massacres
which
daily
happned
,
that
(
as
Egis●●●us
writeth
)
within
the
compass
of
eleven
Weeks
,
there
were
carried
out
by
one
Gate
of
the
City
,
111000
dead
Bodies
;
yet
could
they
not
empty
the
City
,
but
that
they
were
constrained
either
to
bury
them
at
the
Publick
charge
,
or
else
cast
them
over
the
Walls
into
the
Ditches
of
the
City
:
which
when
Titus
saw
,
and
that
the
putrefaction
of
the
Bodies
swam
upon
the
brim
of
the
Ditch
,
(
for
it
was
full
with
dead
carcasses
)
fetching
a
deep
sigh
,
and
lifting
up
his
hands
to
Heaven
,
he
said
,
God
is
my
witness
,
this
is
not
my
fault
,
but
the
punishment
of
God
upon
them
.
The
City
being
thus
pestered
with
Sedition
,
Famin
,
Pestilence
,
and
War
,
was
made
now
a
ready
prey
to
the
Enemy
:
and
that
they
might
make
a
f●nal
end
of
their
miseries
,
Titus
caused
the
Engins
of
Battery
to
be
brought
against
the
Walls
;
and
upon
the
first
day
of
the
fourth
Month
(
which
answers
to
our
Iune
)
he
took
the
third
Wall
,
which
lay
upon
the
North.
Upon
the
fourth
of
Iune
after
,
though
with
great
labour
,
he
took
the
Tower
of
Antonia
,
and
in
it
placed
a
Garison
.
Upon
the
seventeenth
day
of
the
fourth
Month
,
which
was
a
Fast
to
the
Iewes
,
Iosephus
going
up
to
the
top
of
that
Tower
,
made
an
Oration
to
Giscalinus
and
the
rest
,
to
disswade
them
from
their
Rebellion
,
and
cease
to
oppose
the
Romans
,
but
this
little
prevailed
.
Upon
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
,
having
got
that
Hold
,
should
with
the
greater
facility
have
conquered
the
Temple
also
.
Two
days
after
,
the
Romans
destroyed
the
whole
Porch
with
Fire
,
and
the
Jewes
helpt
to
pull
it
down
with
their
hands
:
this
was
none
of
the
three
Porches
,
but
a
Bulwark
of
the
Temple
.
Upon
the
25
of
July
,
the
Jews
filled
the
Porch
towards
the
West
with
Pitch
and
Bittume
,
and
then
made
as
though
they
meant
to
fly
and
leave
the
City
,
which
some
of
the
Romans
perceiving
,
without
any
command
of
their
Captains
,
put
Scaling
Ladders
to
the
Tower
,
and
began
to
Assault
it
,
but
when
they
were
most
busie
,
the
Jewes
on
a
suddain
put
fire
to
the
Pitch
,
and
burnt
them
most
miserably
;
insomuch
as
Titus
pittied
them
to
see
their
Extremity
,
although
they
were
such
as
did
contrary
to
his
command
.
Upon
the
last
day
of
this
Month
they
took
the
North
Gate
,
which
lay
towards
the
rising
of
the
Sun
,
and
close
by
the
brook
Cedron
;
this
they
burnt
down
with
fire
.
Upon
the
third
of
August
,
Titus
commanded
to
fire
the
Gate
of
the
Temple
,
that
was
all
covered
over
with
Gold
and
Silver
;
by
this
Gate
the
Romans
made
a
breach
into
the
Temple
,
which
e're
this
had
been
prophaned
by
the
Iews
:
while
this
gate
was
a
burning
▪
the
Iews
stood
astonished
,
and
not
one
of
them
resisted
the
Romans
.
Caesar
and
all
his
Army
laboured
three
days
to
quench
this
Fire
,
after
which
he
called
a
Council
to
determine
wha●
he
should
do
with
the
Temple
,
it
was
so
rich
and
sumptuous
,
that
he
would
fain
have
left
it
as
an
Ornament
for
the
Roman
Empire
.
But
the
Iewes
having
got
a
little
breathing
,
made
new
incursions
upon
the
Romans
,
by
which
means
they
could
not
determine
thereof
.
The
6th
of
August
,
the
Souldiers
of
Titus
,
without
command
of
their
Captains
,
fired
the
Temple
,
just
upon
that
day
which
Nebuchadnezzar
before
time
had
destroyed
it
,
as
Iosephus
witnesseth
,
li.
de
.
Bell.

c.

Caesar
would
fain
have
saved
this
Temple
for
the
sumptuousness
of
it
,
and
beckoned
to
his
Souldiers
to
have
quencht
the
fire
,
but
they
,
partly
prest
on
with
desire
of
wealth
,
partly
being
prickt
on
with
fury
and
madness
,
gave
no
ear
to
his
speeches
,
but
committed
most
cruel
Massacres
,
without
either
regard
of
age
or
sex
:
So
that
the
cries
of
the
Slaughtered
,
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
covered
with
dead
bodies
,
many
in
desperation
threw
themselves
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
of
Ierusalem
,
the
mirror
of
the
World
being
consumed
and
spoiled
with
Fire
and
Sword
.
After
these
things
,
upon
the
Bridge
that
passeth
from
the
Temple
over
the
Valley
into
the
lower
Town
,
Titus
made
a
Speech
by
an
Interpreter
,
to
the
two
Seditious
Captains
,
gently
intreating
them
to
leave
off
their
Rebellion
,
and
he
would
spare
the
City
,
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
Arms
,
This
they
contemned
,
and
made
but
a
mock
of
Caesar
for
all
his
offers
;
whereupon
,
in
a
great
rage
,
he
gave
the
signal
to
his
Souldiers
,
and
they
went
through
all
the
City
and
set
it
one
fire
.
The
next
day
they
won
the
lower
City
,
and
with
fire
and
sword
consumed
the
place
where
the
Records
lay
,
the
Court
and
all
the
Princely
buildings
until
they
came
to
that
stately
house
of
Helena
,
which
stood
in
the
midst
of
Acra
,
all
the
houses
near
being
filled
with
the
Bodies
of
the
Dead
,
and
the
streets
horribly
defiled
with
the
blood
of
those
that
were
Slain
.
Within
a
short
while
after
Iohannes
Giscalinus
was
taken
alive
and
committed
to
prison
.
The
inferior
City
being
thus
taken
and
destroyed
,
about
the
16
day
of
August
,
Caesar
began
to
build
his
Engines
,
and
to
batter
the
Walls
of
the
upper
City
,
which
within
the
space
of
18
days
after
,
with
extream
labour
and
skill
,
he
laid
flat
with
the
Ground
,
(
as
Iosephus
saith
.
)
And
upon
the
7th
of
September
,
with
great
facility
he
conquered
the
City
,
the
Iewes
of
their
own
accord
descending
from
the
Towers
:
and
the
Rom●ns
set
upon
the
Walls
their
Ensigns
,
with
a
great
Acclamation
,
and
wasted
all
the
City
with
Fire
and
Sword
,
sparing
neither
Men
,
Women
,
nor
Children
.
The
eighth
day
of
the
Month
of
September
,
the
whole
City
was
destroyed
,
and
not
a
stone
left
upon
a
stone
,
but
laid
level
with
the
Ground
,
only
the
three
Towers
that
were
built
by
Herod
,
which
were
of
shining
Marble
(
viz.
Hippicus
,
Phaselus
,
and
Mariamne
)
that
future
Ages
,
seeing
the
excellency
of
those
Buildings
,
they
might
judge
of
the
stateliness
of
the
rest
.
But
these
also
were
after
destroyed
by
Adrianus
Caesar.
There
died
by
the
Famin
and
Pestilence
an
innumerable
number
,
by
Fire
and
Sword
ten
hundred
thousand
:
2000
were
found
that
either
killed
themselves
,
or
one
killed
another
;
7900
were
taken
Captives
;
of
these
,
all
the
seditious
Thieves
that
accused
one
another
,
were
slain
by
Frontonius
Caesar
.
Titus
freed
many
,
7000
were
sent
into
Aegypt
,
with
extreme
labour
to
consume
and
dye
;
the
Properest
and
most
able
were
reserved
for
Triumph
;
many
were
distributed
through
the
Provinces
,
some
were
slain
by
the
Sword
,
and
by
Beasts
,
for
publick
Spectacles
;
and
those
that
were
sixteen
years
of
Age
and
under
,
together
with
many
other
,
Caesar
sold
,
under
the
Crown
,
at
thirty
for
a
silver
Penny
;
that
as
Christ
was
sold
for
thirty
Pence
,
so
thirty
of
them
should
be
sold
for
a
Penny
.
With
the
Riches
of
this
Town
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
Evils
,
the
two
seditious
Captians
,
Iohannes
Giscalinus
and
Simon
the
Son
of
Giora
,
were
put
to
most
cruel
deaths
.
Thus
may
we
see
the
grievous
punishment
of
the
obstinate
and
ambitious
,
which
God
permitted
to
fall
upon
them
for
their
Unthankfulness
and
cruel
Tyranny
.
How
the
City
of
Jerusalem
,
after
this
Destruction
by
Titus
Vespasian
,
was
utterly
beaten
down
,
and
defaced
by
Aelius
Adr.
Caesar
,
which
he
re-edifying
,
called
it
after
his
own
Name
,
Aelia
.
THE
City
of
Ierusalem
being
thus
laid
level
with
the
ground
,
for
the
space
of
sixty
Years
lay
desolate
,
a
receptacle
for
Thieves
and
Murtherers
,
a
fit
place
for
Wolves
and
wild
Beasts
,
which
resorted
thither
to
feed
upon
the
dead
Bodies
.
And
now
Time
consuming
their
Flesh
,
left
their
Bones
and
Skulls
to
lye
upon
the
Earth
,
as
in
a
Charnel-house
.
Thus
it
continued
until
one
Benchochab
(
which
signifies
the
Son
of
the
Stars
)
born
in
the
Town
of
Bethcoron
,
not
far
from
Emaus
,
professed
himself
to
be
the
Messiah
,
or
Christ
.
The
Jewes
supposing
this
to
be
true
,
because
of
that
saying
of
Numb
.
24.
There
shall
a
Star
rise
up
out
of
Jacob
,
assembled
themselves
,
to
the
number
of
many
thousands
,
and
followed
him
,
with
great
Tyranny
and
Cruelty
spoiling
the
Holy
Land
,
and
through
all
the
Countrey
of
Judaea
,
committing
many
Outrages
and
Massacres
.
Thus
they
continued
for
the
space
of
eighteen
years
,
at
the
end
of
which
time
,
Adrianus
Aelianus
the
Emperour
,
hearing
of
those
Insolencies
,
levied
an
Army
,
and
sent
them
into
Judaea
,
under
the
Government
of
Julius
Severus
,
who
,
in
a
pitch'd
field
near
to
Bethcoron
,
and
not
far
from
Emaus
,
conquered
this
Benchochab
or
Pseudo-Messiah
,
and
with
him
slew
five
hundred
thousand
Jews
,
that
were
deceived
by
his
persuasion
.
Now
when
they
went
to
seek
for
the
Body
of
this
Deceiver
amongst
the
Dead
(
as
saith
Talmudista
)
he
was
found
lying
with
an
horrible
Serpent
about
his
neck
;
intimating
how
God
rejected
him
that
would
seem
to
imitate
his
Son
;
for
even
as
the
Serpent
deceived
our
first
Parents
,
so
this
Benchochab
deceived
the
Jews
,
and
for
this
cause
they
called
him
Be●cozba
,
that
is
,
The
Son
of
Lying
.
The
number
of
the
Jews
which
in
the
time
of
this
War
were
slain
,
amounted
to
500000
men
,
besides
many
others
that
perished
by
Pestilence
and
Famin.
This
War
happened
64
years
after
the
destruction
of
Jerusalem
.
After
this
second
Desolation
of
the
Jews
,
at
the
command
of
the
Emperour
,
(
that
there
might
be
a
final
extirpation
of
the
Antient
City
of
Jerusalem
,
and
that
the
words
of
our
Saviour
might
be
fulfilled
,
Loe
,
there
shall
not
be
a
stone
left
upon
a
stone
,
Mat.
24.
)
the
Ruins
and
Foundations
thereof
were
digged
up
,
the
Stones
broken
in
pieces
,
the
Ground
left
desolate
,
and
the
Mountains
are
now
become
barren
,
and
overgrown
with
Brambles
:
And
,
that
the
Name
thereof
might
utterly
be
forgotten
,
and
as
it
were
rooted
out
of
the
Earth
,
he
set
up
a
new
Town
,
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
own
Name
,
Aelia
.
In
the
place
of
the
Temple
,
he
set
up
a
Church
,
in
the
honour
of
Jupiter
and
Venus
.
Just
in
the
place
where
the
Holy
Altar
stood
,
he
erected
his
own
Image
,
upon
a
Marble
Pillar
,
which
continued
until
St.
Hierom's
time
.
At
Bethlehem
he
erected
the
Image
of
Adonis
,
and
to
that
he
consecrated
a
Church
.
Upon
the
Gates
of
the
City
he
cut
Hogs
in
Marble
,
in
contempt
of
the
Jews
.
Then
did
he
abjure
them
,
That
they
should
not
come
within
the
Walls
of
the
City
,
not
set
Foot
upon
the
ground
near
Jerusalem
.
This
being
done
,
(
as
Dion
saith
)
he
dedicated
it
to
the
honour
of
Jupiter
Capitolinus
;
and
only
made
it
free
for
Christians
and
such
like
to
be
in
it
.
This
Town
at
this
day
we
call
Jerusalem
,
although
it
be
scituated
in
another
place
,
and
called
by
another
name
.
Future
Ages
calling
the
Actions
of
precedent
Times
into
question
,
pull'd
a
great
Contempt
upon
this
Town
,
and
so
much
the
rather
,
because
Infidelity
and
other
Heathenish
profaneness
was
cherish'd
within
this
City
.
So
that
that
which
a
little
before
was
set
up
in
honour
of
the
Emperour
.
Aelianus
,
is
now
grown
into
Contempt
.
Wherefore
Helena
the
Mother
of
Constantine
the
Great
,
having
command
of
that
Empire
,
to
give
some
satisfaction
to
the
Universality
,
caused
those
prophane
Temples
and
Idols
to
be
abolished
,
and
in
their
places
erected
others
.
Upon
Mount
Golgotha
,
the
Church
called
Golgothanus
:
upon
the
Mount
of
Olives
one
,
in
the
place
of
the
Ascension
of
Christ
:
and
Constantine
her
Son
richly
adorned
the
Sepulchre
,
and
over
it
built
a
stately
Temple
,
all
of
Polish't
Marble
,
richly
gilt
with
Gold
,
so
that
to
this
day
it
remains
as
the
chief
Ornament
of
the
Town
.
In
this
mans
time
,
the
Jews
with
great
boldness
endeavoured
to
rebuild
the
Temple
,
just
in
the
place
where
it
stood
before
;
at
the
commandment
of
the
Emperour
they
were
repelled
,
and
in
recompence
of
their
presumption
,
had
their
Eares
cut
off
and
their
Noses
slit
,
because
they
had
Ears
and
would
not
hear
,
neither
obey
the
Commandment
of
our
Saviour
.
But
as
the
Emperour
was
Religious
,
and
endeavoured
to
support
Christianity
,
so
his
Successor
Iulianus
was
as
full
of
Impiety
and
Prophaneness
;
who
,
that
he
might
frustrate
the
Prophecy
of
our
Saviour
,
that
Ierusalem
should
never
be
built
again
,
in
contempt
caused
the
Iews
to
assemble
together
,
and
with
all
expedition
restore
it
to
its
former
glory
,
giving
the
uttermost
of
his
help
to
their
endeavours
.
But
as
they
were
seriously
labouring
in
this
Work
,
of
a
sudden
there
came
a
great
Earthquake
,
and
look
what
they
had
built
was
by
that
quite
overturned
;
then
Fire
came
out
of
the
Earth
and
from
Heaven
,
which
destroyed
both
the
Matter
and
the
Workmen
.
And
that
the
Iews
nor
any
Philosphers
might
impute
it
to
a
Natural
Cause
,
there
was
seen
in
the
Heavens
a
Bloody
Cross
,
and
●pon
their
clothes
Crosses
shining
like
Stars
,
which
the
Iews
could
by
no
means
wipe
off
,
yet
this
little
prevailed
:
A
second
time
they
attempted
,
and
as
before
,
a
second
Earthquake
hapned
,
with
a
storm
of
Wind
,
which
came
with
such
extream
violence
,
that
all
the
stuff
which
they
had
heaped
together
for
this
purpose
was
utterly
blown
away
and
destroyed
.
So
that
of
force
they
were
constrained
to
leave
off
,
and
acknowledge
▪
that
Christ
,
whom
their
Forefathers
had
Crucified
,
was
the
true
Messiah
.
Greg.
Nazianzen
and
Hierom
report
,
That
nevertheless
the
Iews
,
even
to
this
day
,
although
it
cost
them
much
money
,
come
yearly
to
the
place
where
Ierusale●
stood
,
and
upon
the
day
of
the
Destruction
thereof
,
weep
over
it
.
Such
was
their
affection
unto
this
City
.
But
these
evils
were
purged
with
a
sudden
Invasion
(
for
no
crying
Injuries
nor
prophane
Insolencies
against
God
pass
unpunished
,
but
that
then
or
soon
after
,
a
just
revenge
falls
upon
them
)
for
Cosro●
▪
Emperour
of
the
Persians
,
whose
Impudency
and
Impiety
was
so
great
,
that
he
would
be
worshipped
as
a
God
,
about
the
year
of
our
Lord
615
,
besieged
this
Town
,
took
it
,
and
put
to
death
90000
Christians
,
carried
the
Patriarch
thereof
,
together
with
many
others
,
away
Captive
.
But
Heraclius
the
Emperor
,
to
punish
him
for
his
Pride
and
Cruelty
,
set
upon
Persia
,
and
with
Fire
and
Sword
destroyed
the
Country
not
far
from
Nineveh
,
and
went
away
with
an
honourable
Victory
.
Seroes
also
,
the
only
begotten
Son
of
Cosroes
,
but
a
little
before
Invading
the
Kingdom
,
kill'd
his
own
Father
in
Prison
,
restored
the
Patriarch
,
and
the
rest
of
the
Captives
which
his
Father
had
taken
,
to
Heraclius
:
and
about
the
seventh
year
after
he
had
Warred
upon
Persia
,
he
returned
to
Aelia
▪
with
great
Pomp.
Not
long
after
,
in
the
year
637
,
Haumar
the
Chief
Prince
of
the
Saracens
,
which
was
the
third
from
Mahomet
,
with
a
great
Army
afflicted
Syria
and
Iudaea
,
conquered
their
Countries
,
and
in
his
Victories
used
great
Tyranny
and
cruelty
.
Within
two
years
after
he
won
Aelia
,
which
had
maintained
a
long
and
sharp
Siege
;
neither
would
Zacharias
the
Patriarch
give
it
up
,
till
he
was
compelled
thereto
by
extream
Famin
,
and
soon
after
died
with
Grief
.
Thus
the
Town
continued
for
the
space
of
450
years
in
the
hands
of
the
Saracens
.
Then
in
the
year
1012
,
Caliphas
Sultan
of
Egypt
,
won
it
,
beat
down
the
Walls
,
destroyed
the
Temple
which
the
Emperor
Constantine
had
built
,
and
made
havock
of
all
things
.
Presently
upon
this
,
the
Turks
,
which
came
out
of
Sythia
by
the
Caspian
Mountains
,
won
the
City
,
and
drave
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
Iews
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
again
restored
by
the
Emperor
Constantine
after
the
Destruction
of
Caliphas
.
The
Christians
being
weary
of
this
Tribute
,
and
of
the
oppression
of
these
Infidels
,
became
sutors
to
Pope
Vrban
,
the
second
of
that
name
,
for
their
delivery
;
who
in
the
year
1094
assembled
a
councel
at
Clearemont
in
France
,
and
by
the
instigation
of
one
Peter
the
Hermit
,
stirred
up
the
hearts
of
divers
Christian
Princes
and
Lords
to
make
a
Croysado
;
so
that
10000
brave
and
well
mounted
Souldiers
went
into
the
Holy
Land
,
and
for
a
token
of
their
War
,
bore
red
Crosses
upon
their
Arms.
In
the
same
year
there
was
a
great
blazing
Star
seen
in
the
West
,
and
after
that
followed
a
great
Plague
for
the
space
of
two
years
through
the
World
:
this
nevertheless
hindred
them
not
in
their
Design
,
but
that
they
went
their
intended
Journey
,
won
the
City
of
Aelia
from
the
Saracens
,
delivered
the
Christians
from
their
Bondage
and
Tax
,
and
chose
Godfrey
of
Lorrain
Earl
of
Bulloin
,
King
thereof
,
whom
they
anointed
in
the
Temple
of
the
Holy
Sepulchre
;
but
he
refused
to
be
Crowned
with
a
Crown
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
ever-living
God
:
and
then
chose
Arnolphus
of
Rhodes
Patriarch
.
In
the
Month
of
October
,
the
same
year
,
a
blazing
Star
of
a
marvellous
bigness
appeared
towards
the
South
:
it
seemed
to
be
like
a
waving
Sword
,
foreshewing
,
no
doubt
,
the
Destruction
of
all
those
that
went
about
to
re-establish
this
Earthly
Ierusalem
.
Immediatly
after
the
Feast
of
the
Nativity
of
Christ
,
all
the
Christians
of
the
East
Countries
,
upon
Candlemas-day
,
came
out
of
Syria
,
but
especially
out
of
Antiochia
,
to
Ierusalem
,
and
in
the
Temple
of
the
holy
Sepulchre
consecrated
their
Bishops
and
Choristers
,
and
with
one
consent
sung
Illuminare
Ierusalem
.
They
took
also
all
the
Cities
,
Castles
,
and
Villages
,
and
over
them
set
Bishops
;
created
four
Principalities
,
one
at
Ierusalem
,
another
at
Antiochia
,
a
third
at
Edissa
,
a
fourth
at
Tripoly
.
Also
certain
Earldoms
and
Baronies
,
as
at
Bri●o
,
Zidon
,
Caesaria
,
,
Galilee
,
Ioppa
,
and
Ascalon
.
All
these
were
appointed
to
pay
Tribute
to
the
King
of
Jerusalem
.
All
this
was
done
in
the
year
of
our
Lord
,
1099.
No
sooner
were
these
News
published
to
the

where
it
is
said
,
It
shall
happen
that
I
will
make
Jerusalem
an
heavy
stone
for
all
People

all
they

And
in
that
day
will
I
seek
to
destroy
all
Nations
that
come
against
Jerusalem
.
This
year
1100
died
Godfrey
King
of
Jerusalem
,
of
a
Fever
,
upon
the
Eighteenth
day
of
July
,
when
he
had
reigned
scarce
a
year
,
and
was
buried
in
the
Temple
of
Mount
Calvary
.
After
him
succeeded
his
Brother
Baldwin
,
the
first
of
that
name
,
and
the
second
King
of
Jerusalem
.
This
Man
reigned
Eighteen
years
in
Jerusalem
,
and
being
overcom
by
Caliphas
Sultan
of
Egypt
,
after
the
loss
of
thirteen
thousand
Christians
,
he
had
much
ado
to
escape
with
life
.
Within
a
short
time
after
he
died
without
Issue
.
Baldwin
the
second
succeded
his
Uncle
,
and
was
the
third
King
of
Jerusalem
.
He
began
his
reign
Anno
1118.
This
man
overcame
the
Turks
:
and
the
King
of
Damascus
had
Issue
only
one
daughter
named
Milesent
,
whom
he
married
to
the
Earl
of
Angiers
,
and
gave
with
her
the
Kingdom
of
Jerusalem
,
and
died
without
heir
Male
,
in
the
year
1131.
Fulco
,
in
right
of
his
Wife
,
succeeded
his
Father
in
Law
,
and
was
the
fourth
King
of
Jerusalem
.
This
Fulco
was
Brother
to
the
King
of
England
,
he
Reigned
thirteen
years
,
fought
many
worthy
Battels
against
the
Turks
,
put
3000
of
their
men
to
the
Sword
,
took
many
of
them
Prisoners
,
and
carried
them
to
Jerusalem
.
After
that
,
as
he
was
hunting
the
Hare
in
Acon
,
riding
speedily
,
he
fell
from
his
Horse
,
and
was
sorely
bruised
,
whereof
he
died
,
and
left
two
Sons
called
Baldwin
and
Almerick
.
Baldwin
the
third
was
the
fifth
King
of
Jerusalem
,
and
succeeded
his
Father
,
he
won
the
City
of
Ascalon
,
he
rebuilt
the
Town
of
Boza
,
(
which
had
been
destroyed
)
placed
there
certain
Knights
Templers
;
he
lost
the
City
of
Edissa
to
the
Saracens
,
where
many
Christians
were
cruely
slain
.
And
having
reigned
nineteen
years
,
he
died
without
Issue
.
After
him
succeeded
his
Brother
Almerick
,
who
was
the
sixth
King
of
Jerusalem
.
In
the
time
of
this
King
,
the
Sultan
of
Egypt
gave
a
great
overthrow
to
the
Knights
Templers
;
which
he
seeking
to
revenge
,
invaded
Egypt
with
a
great
Army
,
besieged
the
great
City
of
Alcair
,
but
to
small
purpose
;
wherefore
returning
back
to
Jerusalem
,
he
shortly
after
died
,
when
he
had
reigned
twelve
years
:
he
left
behind
him
three
children
,
a
Son
called
Baldwin
,
and
two
daughters
,
Sibella
and
Isabella
.
Baldwin
the
fourth
succeeded
his
Father
,
and
was
the
seventh
King
of
Jerusalem
;
who
abusing
his
government
,
was
struck
with
a
Leprosie
,
with
the
contagion
of
which
disease
he
died
miserably
in
the
twenty
fifth
year
of
his
Age
,
having
reigned
thirteen
years
.
Baldwin
,
the
fifth
of
that
name
,
the
only
begotten
Son
of
his
Sister
Sibil
,
by
his
consent
was
chosen
his
Successor
,
a
youth
of
nine
years
old
,
his
Fathers
name
was
William
Mountferrat
,
Earl
of
March
,
who
dying
,
his
Mother
married
one
Guy
Earl
of
Lusignan
,
to
whom
Baldwin
committed
the
protection
of
the
Kingdom
,
and
of
his
young
Kinsman
till
he
came
to
mans
estate
.
But
this
young
man
,
within
seven
years
after
the
Death
of
his
Uncle
,
died
sitting
at
his
Table
,
not
without
suspicion
of
Poyson
.
Guy
his
Protector
,
by
the
perswasion
of
his
Wife
,
and
at
the
Instigation
of
the
Jerosolimits
,
took
upon
him
the
Government
;
But
Raimond
Earl
of
Tripoly
was
his
great
adversary
,
for
that
Baldwin
the
4th
for
his
exceeding
pride
,
at
the
Instigation
of
that
Guy
,
had
displaced
him
of
all
his
Offices
and
Titles
in
the
Commonwealth
.
These
two
striving
for
the
Kingdom
,
it
hapned
that
Guy
was
charged
with
his
Kinsmans
death
,
under
which
pretence
Raymond
made
War
against
him
.
During
these
troubles
,
Saladine
Sultan
of
Egypt
,
taking
advantage
of
this
opportunity
,
made
War
upon
them
both
,
and
with
great
facility
conquered
the
Kingdom
,
and
destroyed
Jerusalem
.
In
this
year
1187
,
there
hapned
so
great
an
Eclipse
of
the
Sun
,
that
at
Noon
day
the
Stars
were
plainly
to
be
seen
.
Soon
after
this
,
Raimond
and
Guy
were
both
taken
Prisoners
,
and
thirty
thousand
Christians
cruelly
put
to
the
Sword
.
After
this
,
the
Saracens
sacked
the
Town
,
threw
the
Bells
out
of
the
Steeples
,
made
Stables
of
the
Churches
;
only
the
Temple
on
Mount
Golgotha
stood
untouch'd
:
for
the
Turks
and
Saracens
honour
Christ
as
a
great
Prophet
.
And
thus
the
new
Kingdom
of
the
Christians
in
Jerusalem
ended
,
which
was
upon
the
second
day
of
October
,
in
the
year
1187
,
after
it
had
continued
in
their
possession
88
years
.
During
the
continuance
of
this
Kingdom
,
there
were
many
horrible
Visions
,
and
strange
Signs
and
Wonders
seen
both
in
Heaven
,
on
Earth
,
and
in
the
Air
;
foreshewing
(
no
doubt
)
that
God
was
not
well
pleased
with
their
actions
,
which
sought
to
restore
that
Kingdom
of
Jerusalem
.
For
,
My
Kingdom
(
saith
Christ
)
is
not
of
this
World
.
And
although
after
that
,
there
were
many
Kings
that
by
all
possible
means
endeavoured
to
recover
and
restore
the
same
,
and
for
that
purpose
have
leavied
many
great
Armies
,
and
undertaken
many
tedious
Journies
;
yet
all
their
councels
and
determinations
came
to
nothing
,
so
that
God
,
so
often
as
they
undertook
any
such
Expedition
,
either
stayed
their
Armies
,
oppressed
them
with
War
,
or
else
plagued
them
with
Famin
,
in
such
an
extream
measure
,
that
with
very
hunger
they
have
been
constrained
to
eat
their
Horses
.
Frederick
Barbarossus
may
be
an
Example
of
these
Calamities
;
who
with
a
great
Army
making
an
Expedition
to
Jerusalem
,
as
he
was
travelling
through
Asia
minor
,
his
Horse
started
,
and
flung
him
into
the
River
,
where
he
died
miserably
e're
he
could
be
saved
.
Many
other
Princes
besides
,
in
the
like
enterprise
came
to
the
like
ends
;
for
they
were
either
destroyed
by
the
Barbarians
,
with
the
loss
of
thousands
of
their
men
cruely
slain
,
or
utterly
destroyed
with
unnatural
Diseases
or
untimely
Deaths
.
Now
when
the
Emperor
Frederick
,
the
second
of
that
name
,
had
besieged
and
brought
to
great
misery
the
Sultan
of
Egypt
,
and
the
Knights
Templers
had
done
the
like
to
Damieta
;
Corderio
the
Sultans
Son
beat
down
the
Walls
of
Jerusalem
,
and
had
it
not
been
for
the
great
lamentations
and
earnest
Entreaties
of
the
Christians
,
he
would
have
destroyed
the
City
;
but
for
their
sakes
he
left
standing
Solomon's
Temple
,
and
the
Temple
of
the
holy
Sepulchre
;
for
at
this
time
Christians
inhabit
in
them
.
Within
a
while
after
,
about
the
Year
1228.
Frederick
,
the
second
of
that
Name
,
Emperour
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
Aegypt
for
ten
years
,
regained
Ierusalem
without
drawing
Sword
,
and
was
there
crowned
in
the
Year
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
Year
1246
,
Cassanus
King
of
the
Tartars
,
being
persuaded
by
the
Sultan
,
with
a
great
Army
invaded
Iudaea
,
won
Ierusalem
,
caused
the
Christians
to
be
cruelly
slain
,
beat
down
the
Holy
Sepulchre
even
to
small
pieces
,
and
left
but
little
standing
.
It
was
after
this
destroyed
by
Tamerlain
King
of
the
Tartars
,
and
by
Mahomet
,
the
second
of
that
Name
,
Emperour
of
the
Turks
.
But
the
Monks
had
leave
to
build
up
the
holy
Sepulchre
again
,
for
the
which
,
they
payed
to
the
Sultan
or
his
Deputy
a
yearly
Tribute
.
In
the
year
of
our
Lord
1516
,
Selymus
Emperour
of
the
Turks
,
about
the
twenty
fourth
day
of
August
,
near
to
Damascus
,
overcame
Campson
Gaurus
Sultan
of
Aegypt
,
in
a
cruel
War
,
and
put
to
death
many
thousands
of
his
Men
;
and
the
Sultan
himself
seeking
to
save
his
Life
by
Flight
,
was
miserably
slain
.
This
Selymus
conquered
the
Holy
Land
,
Syria
,
Damascus
,
and
all
the
Countries
thereabouts
;
and
as
he
went
through
Iudaea
,
leaving
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
ancient
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
look
upon
,
inhabited
by
a
few
poor
Christians
,
and
they
also
held
in
great
Contempt
and
Bondage
,
paying
a
great
Tribute
to
the
Sultan
of
Aegypt
,
for
their
Liberty
and
holy
Sepulchre
,
as
P.
Iovius
writeth
.
But
after
that
Selymus
in
that
place
had
done
his
Offerings
and
Sacrifices
to
his
God
Mahomet
,
seeing
the
Priests
and
Christians
press'd
with
extream
Poverty
,
out
of
his
singular
Mercy
and
Compassion
,
gave
them
a
large
and
sumptuous
Gift
,
when
he
had
stayed
but
one
day
and
one
night
in
the
Town
.
The
next
morning
before
day
he
went
with
all
expedition
to
his
Army
at
Gaza
,
and
from
thence
into
Aegypt
,
where
he
besieged
the
great
and
famous
City
Alcaire
,
and
in
the
year
1517.
took
it
,
conquered
all
the
Country
,
utterly
extirpated
the
Sultan
,
and
went
away
with
an
honourable
Victory
and
rich
Booty
.
From
this
year
even
till
now
,
the
Town
of
Aelia
or
Ierusalem
is
under
the
Jurisdiction
of
the
Turks
.
Thus
may
we
see
how
often
,
and
with
what
miserable
Calamities
this
City
hath
been
afflicted
,
even
since
the
first
Destruction
by
Vespasian
;
which
makes
evident
the
great
Judgment
of
God
not
only
upon
the
Iews
,
but
also
upon
the
Earth
where
they
inhabited
,
for
their
Infidelity
and
unmerciful
Cruelty
.
The
Description
of
Jerusalem
and
the
Scituation
thereof
as
it
is
now
in
these
times
.
THE
former
Incursions
and
common
Desolations
leaving
this
Town
ruined
and
spoiled
for
want
of
Inhabitants
,
it
became
a
Desart
and
forsaken
place
;
only
some
few
Christians
,
either
out
of
the
zeal
of
Religion
,
or
for
vulgar
Ostentation
,
to
shew
that
there
had
been
a
Town
,
dwelt
there
:
and
thus
it
continued
until
the
year
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
himself
a
Name
,
with
great
Cost
and
Labour
re-edified
it
,
set
up
many
stately
Buildings
and
sumptuous
Houses
,
beautified
it
with
two
costly
Temples
,
the
one
the
Temple
of
Solomon
,
and
the
other
the
holy
Sepulchre
;
enlarged
the
extent
thereof
,
and
seated
it
upon
high
Hills
.
After
all
this
,
compass'd
it
about
with
a
spacious
and
thick
Wall
,
and
upon
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
he
was
stoned
)
the
Angle
Gate
,
the
Dung
Gate
,
the
Sheep
Gate
,
the
Golden
and
Fountain
Gates
.
Thus
the
ancient
City
,
and
that
which
the
Emperour
Adrian
built
,
being
both
destroyed
,
in
another
place
is
set
up
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
upon
the
West
within
this
new
Town
,
at
first
fairly
built
by
the
Emperour
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
seventy
nine
Pillars
thirty
foot
long
;
the
Wideness
,
by
the
Diameter
(
besides
the
Pillars
)
is
seventy
three
Feet
,
leaded
above
,
and
upon
the
top
of
the
Roof
standeth
a
Lanthorn
,
by
which
the
Light
cometh
in
:
This
Lanthorn
is
very
curiously
glazed
.
In
the
middle
standeth
the
holy
Sepulchre
.
To
this
joyneth
the
Church
in
Mount
Golgotha
,
and
serveth
instead
of
a
Quire
.
It
standeth
something
lower
,
but
all
under
one
Roof
.
The
place
where
the
holy
Sepulchre
standeth
is
four
square
,
eight
foot
long
,
and
eight
broad
,
hewn
out
of
a
Rock
,
and
covered
with
Marble
;
there
is
a
little
door
in
the
East
part
of
it
very
low
,
by
which
men
go
into
it
,
and
within
that
the
Sepulchre
it self
standeth
upon
the
North
side
,
made
of
gray
Marble
,
3
handfuls
high
,
and
8
foot
long
.
There
are
no
Windows
for
light
to
come
to
it
,
but
over
there
hangeth
continually
nine
Lamps
burning
,
whereby
it
receiveth
Light
.
The
Vault
of
this
Sepulchre
is
divided
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
Entry
to
the
inner
Cave
where
Christ
was
buried
:
and
there
(
as
some
say
)
even
to
this
day
is
found
a
piece
of
the
Stone
which
the
Angel
rolled
from
the
Grave
before
the
Resurrection
;
the
other
part
of
the
Stone
(
howsoever
it
came
there
)
lyes
upon
Mount
Sion
.
But
some
think
that
the
Armenians
carried
it
thither
,
because
upon
it
they
have
built
an
Altar
.
In
this
inner
Cave
there
hangs
nine
Lamps
to
give
light
unto
them
that
enter
in
by
the
East
;
so
that
in
the
inner
and
outer
Vault
there
standeth
eighteen
Lamps
.
The
Mount
whereon
Christ
was
crucified
seemeth
to
stand
upon
a
Rock
of
Stone
,
whitish
and
something
blushing
.
It
is
distant
from
the
Holy
Sepulchre
a
hundred
and
thirty
foot
.
The
place
where
the
Cross
stood
was
an
hard
Rock
,
eighteen
steps
in
the
Ascent
,
and
answereth
to
nine
and
twenty
feet
.
The
hole
where
the
Cross
stood
is
about
the
roundness
of
a
mans
head
in
Latitude
;
and
if
a
man
might
believe
the
Monks
thereabouts
,
they
say
also
,
that
in
that
place
is
to
be
seen
the
colour
of
our
Saviours
Blood
even
to
this
day
.
Upon
the
left
hand
of
this
there
stands
an
Altar
made
of
Marble
,
and
over
that
a
sumptuous
Chappel
,
paved
,
and
covered
with
polish'd
Marble
,
gilt
and
adorned
with
refulgent
Gold
,
the
Walls
whereof
are
very
curiously
wrought
and
gilded
.
In
the
Church
,
upon
Mount
Golgotha
,
they
also
shew
part
of
a
Pillar
naturally
black
,
speck'd
with
red
Spots
,
where
they
say
Christ
was
whip'd
,
and
make
the
Vulgar
believe
that
these
Specks
are
the
drops
of
Blood
that
fell
from
him
.
The
other
part
of
this
Column
was
carried
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
just
in
the
same
place
where
the
former
Temple
stood
,
at
the
time
when
the
City
was
rebuilt
and
enlarged
.
The
body
thereof
is
very
high
and
spatious
,
and
built
of
polish'd
Marble
,
adorned
with
most
exquisite
and
curious
Workmanship
,
very
artificial
and
glorious
both
within
and
without
,
insomuch
that
the
polished
Stones
cast
a
singular
beautiful
and
resplendent
Lustre
.
Above
it
is
covered
with
Lead
,
and
was
built
up
at
the
cost
and
labour
of
the
Grecians
;
in
the
Roof
whereof
,
the
Turks
place
an
half
Moon
,
as
they
usually
do
in
all
such
Churches
wherein
they
come
and
have
Authority
.
The
Turks
and
Saracens
have
this
Temple
in
great
Reverence
and
Devotion
,
they
adorn
it
(
according
to
their
Custom
)
with
divers
artificial
Pictures
and
Emblems
.
They
will
suffer
no
Christians
to
enter
into
it
,
nor
any
Jews
,
upon
pain
of
Death
.
And
if
it
happens
that
at
any
time
they
go
into
it
,
they
first
wash
themselves
with
Water
very
clean
,
then
put
off
their
Hose
and
Shoos
,
and
so
go
bare-foot
.
This
Temple
they
call
the
holy
Rock
,
and
in
the
body
thereof
there
hangeth
seven
hundred
Lamps
,
which
burn
Night
and
Day
.
In
the
midst
hereof
there
standeth
a
certain
little
Rock
,
every
where
indented
with
Iron
,
near
to
which
,
not
any
of
the
Saracens
or
Infidels
dare
to
approach
or
touch
,
although
there
come
many
very
far
to
visit
it
:
for
they
believe
that
there
were
many
memorable
and
worthy
things
done
in
that
Rock
:
they
think
that
Melchisedeck
the
first
Priest
of
the
great
God
,
offered
Bread
and
Wine
upon
it
,
Genes.
14.
and
that
here
the
Patriarch
Iacob
saw
the
Ladder
which
reached
from
Heaven
to
Earth
,
Gen.
28.
which
indeed
hapned
not
in
Ierusalem
,
but
in
Bethel
,
as
the
Scriptures
witness
.
Further
they
believe
,
that
upon
this
Stone
David
saw
the
Angel
of
the
Lord
standing
with
a
shaken
Sword
when
he
struck
the
City
with
the
Pestilence
,
2
Sam.
24.
and
that
the
Priests
of
the
old
Testament
offered
upon
this
stone
their
Sacrifices
to
the
Lord
,
which
were
devoured
with
Fire
from
Heaven
.
All
which
things
do
utterly
differ
from
holy
Scripture
.
The
Jews
also
are
of
Opinion
,
That
the
Prophet
Ieremy
,
about
the
time
of
the
Captivity
of
Babylon
,
in
this
Stone
hid
the
Ark
of
the
Covenant
,
until
such
time
as
the
Lord
brought
the
People
back
again
from
the
Captivity
:
which
is
contrary
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
Turks
say
,
that
Christ
sate
upon
this
stone
when
Simeon
took
him
in
his
arms
and
blessed
him
.
Here
also
he
sate
in
the
midst
of
the
Doctors
when
he
was
but
twelve
years
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
joyned
to
it
.
And
divers
Circumstances
of
the
Scripture
do
seem
to
make
this
evident
,
because
here
Christ
taught
,
and
here
the
People
usually
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
paved
with
marble
stone
.
To
this
there
is
adjoyning
a
fair
Church
covered
with
Lead
,
and
was
somtimes
called
Solomons
Porch
;
but
after
the
Christians
had
won
Ierusalem
,
they
gave
it
the
Name
of
St.
Maries
.
The
Turk
keeps
burning
in
this
daily
eight
hundred
Lamps
,
and
it
is
much
greater
than
that
of
Solomons
Temple
.
The
Sultan
of
Aegypt
also
about
an
hundred
years
before
,
built
a
little
Church
or
Moscho
close
by
Solomons
Temple
,
wherein
are
continually
burning
eighty
eight
Lamps
.
There
is
a
Vault
under
the
Temple
of
the
blessed
Virgin
Mary
,
of
such
an
extraordinary
Greatness
,
that
six
hundred
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
Turks
,
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
sometime
was
the
Ark
of
the
Covenant
,
Dan.
9.
Mat.
24.
and
the
Prophecy
of
Ieremy
is
fully
finished
,
cap.
19.
This
place
shall
be
unclean
like
unto
the
place
of
Tophet
,
where
they
did
sacrifice
to
the
Host
of
Heaven
,
and
unto
other
strange
Gods
.
Of
other
Buildings
within
the
City
of
Aelia
,
which
is
now
called
Jerusalem
.
MOunt
Sion
is
placed
toward
the
South
of
Ierusalem
,
where
even
at
this
day
the
Monks
undertake
to
shew
the
Ruines
of
David's
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
manner
,
that
the
Mountain
of
Sion
,
with
the
Sepulchre
of
David
,
fell
down
,
and
were
utterly
defaced
.
Further
,
all
true
Historians
do
write
,
That
Adrian
the
Emperour
did
so
much
deface
the
City
,
that
he
left
not
a
stone
standing
upon
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
seek
those
holy
Places
,
where
,
when
they
come
,
with
the
expence
of
a
great
deal
of
time
,
in
recompence
of
their
pains
,
are
made
a
laughing-stock
to
the
Kings
of
Ierusalem
,
and
find
nothing
but
feigned
and
supposed
holy
Places
and
Buildings
:
since
the
words
of
our
Saviour
manifest
,
That
there
shall
not
be
a
stone
left
upon
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
down
,
and
cast
into
the
Vallies
,
with
which
being
filled
,
there
remaineth
not
so
much
as
an
Emblem
of
the
old
City
.
From
whence
may
evidently
appear
,
That
those
Places
which
are
now
shewn
to
Pilgrims
by
the
Monks
of
Ierusalem
,
are
merely
suborned
and
feigned
,
on
purpose
to
deceive
them
,
and
get
their
money
.
They
are
very
simple
therefore
that
go
to
Ierusalem
,
to
seek
their
Salvation
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
upon
the
Earth
.
Wherefore
our
Saviour
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
evident
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
over
the
holy
Sepulchre
,
upon
Mount
Calvary
,
there
are
at
this
day
many
of
divers
Nations
and
Countreys
which
inhabit
,
of
divers
Opinions
and
Religions
.
And
although
they
differ
in
material
Points
of
their
Faith
,
yet
would
they
be
all
Christians
:
of
which
number
,
there
are
some
Latines
,
Greeks
,
Abissines
,
Armenians
,
Gregorians
,
Nestorians
,
Surians
,
and
Iacobins
.
The
Latines
for
the
most
part
are
such
as
we
call
Franciscan
Monks
,
Observants
,
or
Friars
.
These
have
the
keeping
of
the
holy
Sepulchre
,
and
look
to
it
very
diligently
;
where
sometimes
they
make
a
certain
number
of
Knights
of
the
Noble
Order
of
St.
Iohns
Templers
,
with
many
Ceremonies
and
great
Solemnities
.
These
Knights
are
girt
with
a
Sword
all
gilt
,
hanging
in
a
red
Velvet
girdle
;
a
Chain
of
gold
is
put
upon
them
worth
about
an
hundred
Hungarian
Duckats
,
at
the
end
whereof
hangs
a
Ierusalem
Cross
of
gold
.
This
kind
of
Cross
also
they
are
permitted
to
wear
upon
their
Arms
and
Cloaths
;
then
have
they
a
pair
of
gilt
Spurs
with
Velvet
tyings
.
But
before
they
are
admitted
into
this
Order
,
they
must
swear
upon
the
holy
Sepulchre
to
maintain
and
defend
the
Doctrine
of
the
Pope
.
The
Graecians
that
are
there
be
also
Monks
,
and
do
inhabit
within
the
Temple
of
the
holy
Sepulchre
;
but
they
have
the
keeping
of
the
place
where
our
Saviour
Christ
was
crucified
,
and
differ
from
the
Romanists
.
For
they
believe
first
,
That
the
holy
Ghost
proceedeth
from
the
Father
and
not
the
Son
.
Secondly
,
they
give
the
Sacraments
in
both
kinds
.
Thirdly
,
they
hold
not
the
Pope
to
be
Head
of
the
Church
.
Fourthly
,
they
deny
Purgatory
and
Prayer
for
the
dead
.
Fifthly
,
they
sing
Mass
in
their
own
Language
,
that
every
man
may
understand
it
,
but
they
observe
seven
Sacraments
as
the
Romanists
do
.
They
teach
men
to
pray
to
,
and
call
upon
Saints
;
they
yearly
observe
two
strict
fasting
days
,
and
eat
no
Flesh
upon
Saturdays
.
The
rest
of
the
Graecians
that
are
through
the
East
parts
,
leave
Marriage
free
,
as
well
for
the
Clergy
as
Laity
,
and
condemn
the
Latin
Priests
because
they
marry
not
.
They
allow
no
graven
Images
in
their
Churches
,
but
in
some
places
of
the
Churches
they
have
fair
painted
Pictures
hanging
.
They
approve
not
the
Pope
,
but
have
a
Patriarch
for
their
high
Bishop
,
which
Patriarch
is
greatly
reverenced
,
and
much
honoured
in
Constantinople
.
The
Abissins
be
such
as
are
of
Prester
Iohn's
Government
:
their
Complexion
is
brown
,
their
Habitation
is
in
the
Temple
upon
Mount
Calvary
,
on
the
East
side
of
the
Church
door
:
They
also
approve
not
the
Pope
,
but
allow
Priests
to
marry
,
and
give
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
Jews
do
not
;
they
observe
our
Saturday
for
their
Sabbath
;
they
baptise
their
Children
with
Fire
,
of
which
I
will
speak
more
hereafter
,
in
the
description
of
the
Town
of
Saba
.
The
Armenians
are
Christians
,
and
come
out
of
Armenia
;
their
Dwelling
is
in
a
Chappel
upon
Mount
Sion
,
near
to
St.
Iames
his
Church
;
they
deny
the
Pope
to
be
Head
of
the
Church
;
they
minister
the
Sacraments
in
both
kinds
;
their
Priests
marry
;
they
forbear
the
meats
forbidden
in
the
Old
Testament
.
They
have
a
kind
of
Custom
to
whine
and
cry
by
the
Graves
of
the
dead
;
upon
Twelfth
day
they
keep
a
great
Feast
,
and
the
next
day
begins
their
Lent
,
which
they
keep
strictly
,
and
eat
neither
Eggs
nor
Fish
,
nor
any
living
thing
during
that
time
:
they
observe
Wednesdays
and
Fridays
;
they
preach
,
sing
,
and
say
their
Service
in
their
own
Tongue
;
they
deny
Prayer
for
the
dead
,
and
Purgatory
;
they
all
wear
Hats
with
blew
Hat-bands
.
The
Gregorians
are
Christians
that
dwell
by
the
great
City
of
Trapezunta
upon
the
Euxinian
Sea
.
Their
Priests
marry
,
but
if
their
Wives
dye
they
must
not
marry
again
.
They
dwell
in
Ierusalem
,
in
the
Church
upon
Mount
Calvary
,
where
Christ
,
after
his
Resurrection
,
shewed
himself
like
a
Gardner
unto
Mary
Magdalen
.
The
Nestorian
Hereticks
,
who
now
are
found
in
great
numbers
in
Ninevie
,
which
at
this
day
is
called
Mossell
,
and
in
other
places
thereabout
,
do
yet
hold
the
Heresie
of
Nestorias
their
Master
,
and
teach
,
That
Christ
had
two
Natures
,
and
that
he
hath
two
Persons
,
and
that
Mary
was
not
the
Mother
of
God
,
but
that
she
bare
Christ
who
was
man
only
:
about
their
Hats
they
wear
flesh-coloured
Hat-bands
.
Some
of
their
Priests
are
found
to
dwell
in
the
Temple
of
Mount
Calvary
.
The
Surians
follow
the
Graecian
Christians
,
touching
the
most
of
their
Opinions
;
they
respect
not
much
their
Religion
;
for
in
regard
of
their
Poverty
they
are
forced
to
work
for
day
Wages
under
the
Turks
.
Some
of
them
also
dwell
in
Ierusalem
in
a
Church
called
S.
Marks
,
which
standeth
in
the
place
of
the
house
where
Iohn
Mark
dwelt
,
where
the
Apostle
Peter
knock'd
when
the
Angel
led
him
out
of
Prison
.
The
Sect
of
the
Iacobins
are
resident
in
a
Chappel
which
standeth
behind
the
Sepulchre
.
They
take
that
name
of
Iacob
the
Heretick
,
who
was
a
Disciple
of
the
Patriarch
of
Alexandria
;
they
are
wavering
and
unconstant
among
themselves
,
and
are
here
and
there
found
in
Iudaea
,
Aegypt
,
and
Barbary
,
divided
into
many
Sects
;
for
some
of
them
hold
with
Eutichus
and
Macharus
,
who
ascribe
one
Nature
to
Christ
,
which
is
the
God-head
,
and
deny
the
Man-hood
.
Some
of
them
circumcise
their
Children
,
some
baptise
them
with
Fire
,
and
make
a
Cross
upon
their
Faces
.
Of
this
fiery
Baptism
you
shall
read
more
hereafter
in
the
description
of
the
City
of
Saba
.
Hereby
you
may
note
,
how
the
Temple
of
the
holy
Sepulchre
in
Ierusalem
is
filled
with
many
Sects
,
who
altogether
give
and
pay
Tribute
to
the
Emperour
of
the
Turks
;
whereby
you
may
see
,
that
Christ
will
be
no
more
sought
in
the
holy
Sepulchre
,
but
rather
in
the
holy
Evangelists
,
where
he
suffereth
himself
to
be
found
by
all
those
that
seek
him
with
a
pure
Heart
.
Of
the
Sects
of
the
Jews
.
IN
these
our
times
the
Jews
do
inhabit
in
Ierusalem
,
and
are
divided
into
many
Sects
,
that
is
to
say
,
Pharisees
,
Saducees
,
Essaes
,
Genisteis
,
Morboneis
,
and
Meristeis
.
The
Pharisees
took
that
name
from
the
Interpretation
of
the
Law
,
and
is
derived
from
the
Hebrew
word
Parasch
,
which
signifies
to
expound
:
so
that
Pharasei
is
as
much
as
to
say
Doctor
,
or
Expounder
of
the
Law
:
they
approve
of
Moses
and
the
Prophets
;
they
hold
the
Immortality
of
the
Soul
:
but
of
Christ
and
the
principal
parts
of
his
Doctrine
,
of
the
Law
,
of
Sin
,
and
of
Ceremonies
,
they
have
many
ungodly
Opinions
and
Expositions
.
They
feign
that
the
Law
was
instituted
by
God
for
outward
Discipline
;
that
sin
is
only
outward
Transgression
and
the
violating
of
mens
Traditions
:
they
hold
there
is
no
Original
Sin
,
but
that
men
may
perform
the
Law
,
and
merit
everlasting
Life
;
besides
many
other
things
,
as
Washings
,
Fastings
,
offering
gifts
in
the
Temple
,
and
such
like
Ceremonies
;
of
which
there
is
no
Commandment
extant
in
the
Scripture
.

The
Sadducees
give
themselves
an
honourable
Title
,
being
derived
from
Zedukim
or
Zeddikim
,
calling
themselves
just
,
from
the
word
Zadock
,
he
was
just
,
and
by
Amphetresim
is
not
unproperly
derived
from
Dicai●o
,
or
Dicaios
,
signifying
justus
:
and
by
Prothes●n
in
Latine
,
Iudex
a
Judge
.
So
that
Zaddik
or
Zadducaeus
signifies
a
just
Judge
,
which
would
judge
all
others
,
but
they
themselves
were
without
offence
:
thus
the
worst
men
got
the
best
Names
.
They
only
allow
the
five
Books
of
Moses
;
they
dream
the
Messias
should
be
an
earthly
King
;
they
believe
the
Souls
of
men
to
be
mortal
,
and
to
perish
with
their
Bodies
;
they
do
not
believe
the
Resurrection
,
nor
that
there
are
either
Angels
,
Spirits
,
or
Divels
.
The
Essaes
had
rather
be
called
Students
,
taking
their
Name
from
Asa
,
under
which
Title
,
they
would
seem
to
reprehend
,
and
amongst
other
things
,
avoid
the
profane
Liberty
of
the
Sadducees
,
and
approve
not
the
arrogant
dissimulation
of
the
Pharisees
;
but
that
they
tech
more
Divine
and
profitable
Precepts
.
These
live
a
Monastical
Life
,
unmarried
;
their
Goods
are
common
;
for
the
most
part
they
practise
Physick
:
in
their
Assemblies
,
the
ancientest
of
them
read
some
part
of
Moses's
Law
,
or
some
of
the
Prophets
;
all
of
them
,
both
young
and
old
,
at
certain
times
of
the
day
,
say
Prayers
.
They
have
no
new
kind
of
Doctrine
,
but
imbrace
the
Priesthood
of
Moses
:
They
dwell
in
the
Desarts
and
utmost
parts
of
Iudaea
near
to
the
Lake
Asphaltites
,
and
in
the
garden
of
Balm
near
Iericho
,
where
the
ancient
Prophets
Elias
and
Eliseus
had
their
Schools
,
whose
Disciples
were
called
the
Children
of
the
Prophets
.
These
three
Sects
began
in
Iudas
Maccabaeus's
time
,
Ioseph
.

The
Genisteis
are
said
to
be
those
that
do
certainly
affirm
,
that
they
are
of
the
Posterity
of
Abraham
,
although
they
have
lost
their
Genealogies
,
and
cannot
prove
it
.
These
call
themselves
Great
and
Noble
,
and
are
of
the
stock
of
those
that
in
the
Captivity
of
Babylon
married
the
Wives
of
other
Nations
;
of
which
you
may
read
in
Nehem.
So
that
they
are
half
Gentiles
,
half
Jews
,
and
account
themselves
to
be
of
the
Nobility
.
The
Morboneis
very
solemnly
observe
the
Sabbath
,
which
many
others
,
that
are
Flatterers
of
the
Turks
and
Saracens
,
do
not
:
there
are
a
great
company
of
these
;
for
almost
all
the
Iews
do
very
superstitiously
celebrate
the
Sabbath
:
and
therefore
they
take
their
name
partly
from
a
Multitude
,
and
partly
from
Usury
;
for
Merebech
in
Hebrew
signifies
a
Multitude
,
and
T●rebah
Usury
.
Meri●teis
are
those
Jews
that
divide
the
Scripture
,
and
say
the
Prophets
spoke
not
all
with
one
Spirit
;
and
what
they
list
they
make
Scripture
,
and
what
they
list
they
leave
out
:
and
therefore
the
Graecians
call
them
Meristein
,
which
signifies
to
divide
.
There
are
also
others
in
these
our
times
that
are
Jews
too
,
but
they
are
called
Samaritans
,
which
only
approve
of
the
Mosaical
Law
,
and
reject
the
rest
of
the
Scriptures
and
Prophets
.
These
are
so
called
from
Keeping
;
for
this
word
Schamar
properly
signifies
to
preserve
or
keep
a
Speech
in
heart
,
and
hath
therefore
a
certain
Congruity
and
Consonance
with
the
Latin
word
Sermo
:
so
that
Schamar
in
Hebrew
,
and
Sermo
in
Latin
,
are
much
what
of
one
signification
.
But
all
the
Jews
,
except
the
Sadducees
,
have
one
Faith
;
they
think
they
may
fulfill
the
Commandments
,
and
by
their
own
works
be
justified
and
purchase
eternal
Life
.
They
deny
the
Trinity
and
Christ
,
and
do
believe
that
their
Messias
is
yet
to
come
,
and
shall
bring
them
back
again
into
the
Land
of
Promise
.
Of
the
Saracens
and
Turks
which
inhabit
in
Jerusalem
:
of
their
Faith
and
Religion
.
THE
Saracens
are
a
People
of
Arabia
the
Stony
;
of
the
Posterity
of
Ishmael
the
Son
of
Abraham
,
which
he
begat
of
Hagar
:
from
whence
they
are
rightly
called
Agarins
,
notwithstanding
they
had
rather
be
called
Saracens
.
Others
call
them
Saracens
,
à
Saraca
,
which
is
a
part
of
Arabi●
the
Stony
;
It
seemeth
therefore
that
these
People
took
their
name
from
a
Principality
;
for
Sarar
in
Hebrew
is
the
same
that
Principatum
gessit
is
in
Latin
,
or
if
you
will
,
Principatum
obtinuit
,
which
signifies
(
to
obtain
Principality
.
)
And
therefore
the
Saracens
,
or
Sarazens
,
may
be
said
Princes
or
Captains
,
whose
Principality
extends
it self
far
and
near
:
but
Agarins
signifies
Perigrinators
;
for
Gor
or
Gar
is
as
much
as
to
say
a
Pilgrim
.
These
People
combined
themselves
with
Mahomet
that
false
Prophet
,
born
of
obscure
Parentage
:
his
Fathers
Name
was
Abdiminech
,
of
his
Wife
that
was
of
the
Family
of
Ishmael
,
or
of
the
Saracens
,
born
in
Arabia
the
Stony
,
(
and
as
it
is
express'd
in
their
Alcoran
)
upon
the
21
day
of
September
,
according
to
our
Account
,
about
the
year
of
Christ
570.
He
took
his
name
from
a
tumultuous
Confusion
:
for
Hamah
signifies
tumultuatus
est
;
he
hath
been
tumultuous
;
and
Hamam
,
tumultuando
disturbavit
,
he
divided
by
Contention
.
From
hence
Maimo
signifies
tumultuor
,
a
Contender
,
and
Maiomai
,
concitor
,
a
Rebel
.
From
whence
may
be
gathered
,
that
Mahomet
is
an
ominous
and
seditious
name
.
Whilst
he
was
in
his
Infancy
he
lived
with
his
Father
:
after
,
being
of
a
prompt
Wit
,
he
served
one
Abdomoneplis
a
Merchant
,
in
whose
Service
,
conversing
with
Christians
and
Jews
,
he
got
a
smattering
knowledge
of
the
Old
and
New
Testament
,
and
many
Acquaintance
;
amongst
which
,
was
one
Sergius
an
Arian
Monk
,
a
man
very
well
affected
of
this
Abdomoneplis
.
Abdomoneplis
died
,
and
by
the
Per●uasion
of
this
Monk
,
Mahomet
married
Cadican
his
Wife
,
although
she
was
fifty
years
of
Age
,
and
by
her
had
great
Riches
:
she
soon
after
also
died
,
and
left
Mahomet
all
that
she
had
.
He
on
a
sudden
,
being
lift
up
to
this
height
of
substance
,
grew
very
ambitious
(
for
he
was
naturally
proud
,
wrathful
,
a
Thief
,
a
Whore-master
,
a
most
impudent
Adulterer
;
and
wheresoever
he
came
made
havock
of
all
things
.
)
This
man
,
by
the
help
of
the
Saracens
and
others
,
affected
the
Kingdom
of
Arabia
,
which
within
short
time
after
he
obtained
,
entring
Mecha
the
chief
City
thereof
,
upon
Thursday
the
15th
of
Iuly
,
Anno
Dom.
622.
and
by
the
help
of
two
Jews
,
and
this
Sergius
,
wrote
that
blasphemous
Law
of
the
Alcoran
,
falsly
professing
himself
to
be
a
Prophet
;
and
began
cruelly
to
oppose
himself
against
all
neighbouring
Nations
and
Cities
.
The
Alcoran
taketh
the
name
from
Splendour
or
Brightness
;
for
,
Al
in
the
Arabick
,
is
as
much
as
Karan
in
the
Hebrew
,
and
that
signifies
to
s●ine
or
cast
forth
a
brightness
.
This
Alcoran
contains
a
blasphemous
and
detestable
Law
,
written
in
the
Arabian
Tongue
,
without
any
order
or
colour
of
Knowledge
,
teaching
manifest
Lies
and
execrable
Blasphemi●s
against
God
;
and
for
the
most
part
,
the
Pleasures
and
Delights
of
this
World
:
for
he
doth
deny
that
there
is
one
eternal
Essence
of
the
Deity
,
and
the
holy
Trinity
;
our
Saviour
Christ
they
one
while
call
the
Son
of
God
,
and
another
while
,
the
Soul
or
Spirit
of
God
.
They
deny
his
Deity
,
but
say
that
he
was
a
holy
man
,
born
without
a
Father
,
of
the
chaste
and
incorruptible
Virgin
Mary
.
And
although
he
was
before
all
beginning
,
yet
they
believe
that
he
was
not
begotten
,
but
created
before
all
other
essential
Creatures
,
by
the
Eternal
God
.
Also
they
say
he
was
not
crucified
,
but
some
other
in
his
place
;
and
therefore
the
Salvation
of
man
not
to
consist
in
the
merits
of
Christ
,
but
in
our
own
proper
Works
.
And
that
the
Jews
might
embrace
the
Alcoran
,
they
retain
Circumcision
,
which
is
commonly
done
when
the
Children
are
thirteen
years
of
Age
;
about
which
time
,
Ishmael
was
circumcised
.
They
forbear
the
meats
forbidden
in
the
Law
;
they
have
many
Wives
at
one
time
,
they
tollerate
a
Bill
of
Divorce
,
and
affirm
,
that
after
the
Resurrection
men
may
have
many
Wives
,
and
with
them
banquet
,
surf●t
,
and
use
pleasant
Recreations
,
with
divers
such
Errors
and
vain
Trifles
,
which
for
brevities
sake
I
omit
.
That
he
might
the
better
persuade
men
to
embrace
and
believe
these
his
Lies
and
blasphemous
Doctrines
,
he
very
cunningly
seemed
to
confirm
them
with
many
false
and
feigned
Miracles
:
and
amongst
the
rest
this
was
one
:
Having
taught
a
white
Dove
to
put
Corn
in
his
Ear
,
whilst
he
was
preaching
to
the
People
,
it
chanced
she
came
and
sat
upon
his
Shoulder
,
and
putting
her
Bill
into
his
Ear
,
according
to
her
accustomed
manner
,
he
persuaded
the
People
that
it
was
the
Spirit
of
God
,
which
delivered
him
the
words
of
the
Law
.
A
Bull
also
,
taught
after
the
same
manner
,
at
his
Voice
came
before
him
,
and
kneeling
down
did
him
reverence
,
with
the
Alcoran
tied
upon
his
horns
;
which
he
affirmed
was
come
from
Heaven
and
brought
that
new
Law
.
Then
did
he
make
divers
horns
of
gold
and
silver
,
and
filling
them
full
of
Milk
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
observed
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
believe
that
it
came
from
God
.
And
being
afflicted
with
the
Falling
Sickness
,
gave
it
out
,
that
then
the
Angel
Gabriel
told
him
the
Law
,
making
this
likewise
a
means
to
further
his
designs
;
but
after
,
viz.
upon
the
eighth
of
Iune
,
Anno
Dom.
632.
and
in
the
61
year
of
his
Age
,
he
died
miserably
of
this
Disease
,
after
he
had
reigned
in
Mecha
ten
years
;
and
Enbubizer
or
Abud●char
his
Father-in-law
,
succeeded
him
in
the
Government
,
who
built
in
his
honour
a
Church
,
and
in
that
put
his
Sepulchre
,
both
stately
and
sumptuous
.
The
Turks
also
embrace
this
Doctrine
,
and
joyned
their
forces
with
the
Saracens
:
they
extended
their
Empire
under
Mahomet
the
third
,
into
Asia
,
Europe
,
and
Africa
.
They
derive
their
Name
(
as
I
suppose
)
from
Cruelty
;
for
Turca
signifieth
a
cruel
Destroyer
,
or
an
armed
Enemy
,
being
derived
from
the
Hebrew
word
Tarach
,
that
is
,
to
effect
his
purpose
.
From
whence
,
they
are
not
improperly
called
of
the
Gr●c●ins
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
to
vex
and
make
weary
;
or
else
from
the
Hebrew
word
Tachaera
,
which
signifies
a
shield
;
and
from
the
Greek
word
〈◊〉

〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉

,
to
put
on
a

,
and
to
arm
themselves
:
for
the
Turks
are
armed
Enemies
,
and
Destroyers
of
the
whole
World
:
and
by
Ezekiel
are
called
Gog
and
Magog
,

&

of
Magog
which
was
the
Son
of
Iaphet
,
Gen.
10.
and
as
some
think
,
inhabited
the
North
parts
of
the
World
.
Pliny
places
them
in
Bospherus
,
Cimmerius
,
Scythia
,
&c.
which
lyeth
toward
the
East
.
But
indeed
they
have
often
changed
their
Residence
,
and
have
come
into
Persia
,
Armenia
,
Syria
,
Palestina
,
Arabia
,
and
cruelly
destroyed
them
,
until
they
had
conquered
Constantinople
,
and
got
a
great
part
of
Europe
;
and
have
infe●ted
the
minds
of
all
the
Inhabitants
of
those
parts
,
with
their
Manners
,
Slaughters
,
and
Rapines
,
according
to
that
blasphemous
Law
of
the
Alcoran
.
They
first
afflicted
those
Parts
about
the
year
of
our
Lord
760.

then
the
Emperour
of
Rome
;
since
which
time
,
they
have
conquered
a
great
part
of
the
World
.
A
Relation
of
the
Travels
and
Peregrinations
of
the
Saints
and
holy
Patriarchs
,
as
they
are
severally
mentioned
in
the
first
Book
of
MOSES
.
And
first
,
of
the
first
Man
,
Adam
.
ADAM
the
first
man
,
took
his
name
from
Adamah
,
which
signifies
red
Earth
,
because
he
was
made
of
the
red
slime
of
the
Earth
:
therefore
the
Latins
derive
Homo
from
Humo
;
also
the
Graecians
from
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
which
signifies
the
Earth
.
But
,
when
Man
was
laid
open
to
all
Calamities
,
Miseries
,
yea
and
Death
,
the
Hebrews
called
him
Enosh
,
which
signifies
,
a
mortal
and
miserable
Man
:
for
this
Attribute
to
Man
agreeth
with
the
word
Nosch
,
which
signifies
to
be
sick
of
a
deadly
disease
.
There
are
some
that
think
that
Man
was
made
in
Syria
near
to
Damascus
,
because
there
is
found
much
red
Earth
.
Others
say
near
to
Hebron
,
a
City
in
the
Tribe
of
Iuda
,
and
there
also
lies
buried
;
for
in
a
Cave
near
that
place
,
lies
much
red
Earth
,
which
the
Inhabitants
,
even
to
this
day
,
shew
unto
Pilgrims
:
but
this
is
nothing
to
the
purpose
,
since
we
know
that
Man
was
first
created
,
and
then
brought
into
Paradise
,

and

Of

PAradise
,
which
in
Greek
is
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
and
in
Hebrew
Pardes
,
signifies
a
pleasant
Garden
plentifully
furnished
with
fruitful
trees
,
but
principally
Myrtle-trees
,
which
beareth
a
kind
of
Berry
of
a
very
delectable
taste
:
for
this
Hebrew
word
seemeth
to
be
a
compound
,
that
is
,
of
Parah
,
which
signifies
to
fructifie
,
and
Hadas
,
a
Mirtle
;
of
the
fruit
of
which
tree
,
there
is
made
a
certain
Wine
called
Mirtle
,
or
Mulberry
Wine
:
the
mystery
hereof
is
,
that
Christ
is
that
Tree
of
Life
,
that
fruitful
and
pleasant
Mirtle
,
whereby
we
are
rais●d
up
unto
Eternal
Life

Luther
calleth
Paradise
,
in
his
discourse
of
Germany
,
a
pleasant
Garden
,
Eccl.
2.
Munster
,
an
Orchard
:
and
in
the
Bible
it
is
called
Eden
,
a
place
plentifully
furnished
with
all
things
necessary
for
the
procuring
of
Pleasure
and
Delight
.
The
Grecians
call
it
Hedone
,
which
signifies
an
extraordinary
delectable
and
pleasant
place
;
for
in
it
there
was
great
Abundance
of
all
things
,
as
well
of
Trees
,
Fruits
,
Herbs
,
and
sweet-smelling
Flowers
,
as
of
Beasts
and
Fowls
of
the
Heaven
.
Into
this
place
God
put
man
,
to
dress
it
and
keep
it
:
But
where
it
stood
,
and
whether
it
be
now
upon
the
Earth
,
there
are
divers
Opinions
:
The
Romani●ts
hold
,
that
it
is
placed
in
the
East
,
without
the
Tropicks
;
others
would
have
it
under
the
Aequator
,
because
it
is
a
very
Temperate
Region
:
but
Experience
tells
us
,
that
there
it
is
very
hot
and
scorching
:
Others
think
it
stands
upon
the
top
of
a
high
mountain
,
free
from
all
the
violent
motions
and
impre●sions
of
the
Air
,
in
which
place
,
they
hold
Enoch
and
Eliah
are
yet
living
.
There
are
others
that
assign
the
whole
East
part
to
be
Paradise
,
and
that
there
were
some
peculiar
places
most
fruitful
,
of
which
they
think
was
Syria
,
Damascus
,
Arabia
Foelix
,
Aegypt
and
Iudaea
,
in
which
Part
man
was
put
.
They
also
say
,
that
the
Tree
of
Knowledge
stood
upon
Mount
Calvary
,
near
about
that
place
where
Christ
was
crucified
,
so
that
he
made
satisfaction
for
sin
in
the
same
place
where
sin
was
first
committed
:
And
this
I
hold
to
be
the
better
Opinion
,
and
that
it
remained
till
the
Deluge
,
kept
in
the
custody
of
Angels
,
at
Gods
appointment
,
and
by
the
Flood
,
together
with
other
Creatures
,
was
abolished
.
And
for
that
Saying
of
our
Saviour
to
the
Thief
upon
the
Cross
,
This
day
shalt
thou
be
with
me
in
Paradise
,
is
not
to
be
understood
of
the
Earthly
Paradise
,
but
of
the
Heavenly
,
the
Place
of
the
blessed
Angels
and
Saints
,
where
God
with
his
Divine
Majesty
filleth
them
with
the
Light
of
Righteousness
,
and
quickeneth
them
with
Eternal
Life
.
This
place
St.
Paul
calls
the
third
Heaven
,
and
that
Heavenly
Paradise
of
which
the
Earthly
Paradise
is
a
type
,
2
Cor.

Of
the
four
Rivers
that
watered
Paradise
.
THE
four
Flouds
of
Paradise
were
,
Pison
,
Gihon
,
Hidekel
,
and
Euphrates
,
Gen.
2.
There
was
but
one
Fountain
of
all
these
Floods
,
and
this
was
in
Paradise
it self
,
which
in
those
times
was
divided
into
four
Streams
.
But
as
by
the
Flood
all
the
face
of
the
Earth
was
changed
,
so
likewise
were
these
Rivers
and
their
Fountains
and
Channels
altered
from
the
places
where
at
first
they
were
;
notwithstanding
in
memory
of
them
,
there
remains
some
Reliques
,
tho'
perhaps
not
in
the
same
place
,
nor
springing
out
of
one
and
the
same
Fountain
,
as
they
did
before
.
And
as
the
Mediterranean
Sea
,
the
Gulph
of
Arabia
,
and
many
other
Meers
and
Lakes
,
before
the
Flood
were
not
,
but
(
by
the
general
consent
of
all
Learned
men
)
happened
by
that
huge
Inundation
;
the
same
may
be
said
of
these
Rivers
.
The
head
,
or
beginning
of
the
River
Pischon
or
Pison
,
is
4800
miles
Eastward
from
Ierusalem
,
and
is
like
unto
an
Arm
of
the
Sea
,
some
twelve
or
sixteen
miles
over
,
and
for
that
cause
it
taketh
the
name
from
Posch
,
that
is
,
increasing
,
or
,
of
an
extraordinary
greatness
:
from
hence
the
Grecians
call
it
Phuson
,
because
it
divides
it self
into
divers
Rivulets
or
Streams
.
It
compasseth
in
Havilah
,
it
divideth
that
part
of
the
World
which
we
call
India
,
into
the
outward
and
inward
:
and
there
is
called
Ganges
,
taking
that
name
from
an
Aethio●ian
King
called
Gange
,
as
Suidas
saith
.
Some
say
,
it
is
unknown
where
it
first
riseth
;
others
say
it
riseth
in
Scythia
,
and
watereth
all
the
Neighbour-Countreys
as
it
passeth
along
,
as
Nilus
doth
,
and
so
being
dispersed
into
thirty
Channels
,
divideth
India
with
one
of
them
:
the
narrowest
place
of
Ganges
is
eight
miles
over
,
and
the
shallowest
an
hundred
foot
deep
,
it
bringeth
forth
Dolphins
,
Crocodiles
,
and
divers
other
Creatures
.
Solinus
and
Strabo
say
,
That
the
River
Tigris
riseth
in
Armenia
,
a
very
fair
and
clear
Fountain
;
it
is
distant
from
Ierusalem
six
hundred
miles
towards
the
North
:
it
runneth
with
such
an
exceeding
swiftness
that
Fishes
cannot
swim
against
it
,
and
passeth
through
the
Lake
of
Arthusia
,
without
once
mingling
it self
with
the
Water
:
and
for
this
cause
it
is
called
Tigris
,
which
signifies
a
dart
,
and
a
Beast
of
extraordinary
swiftness
and
cruelty
.
This
River
running
from
towards
the
North
and
the
rising
of
the
Sun
,
it
compasseth
in
Mesopotamia
,
and
passeth
by
the
Borders
of
Media
and
Assyria
,
and
after
that
,
of
Chaldaea
and
Arabia
,
it
there
receiveth
in
the
River
Hydas●is
,
and
so
joyning
with
Euphrates
,
falls
into
the
Lake
of
Persia.
The
Hebrews
called
this
River
Chidikill
from
Chadad
,
which
signifies
acute
,
and
Kalal
,
light
,
for
it
is
a
swift
running
Stream
:
from
hence
the
Graecians
call
it
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
;
the
Latines
,
Celer
;
the
Germans
,
Ein
Zelter
,
which
signifies
with
us
a
Horse
swiftly
running
;
for
it
passeth
away
swifter
than
an
Arrow
out
of
a
Bow
.
Going
towards
the
East
,
some
thirty
six
miles
from
the
antient
Babylon
,
it
runneth
through
a
Town
called
Bagedeth
,
bordering
upon
Turkey
and
Persia
,
and
from
thence
towards
the
Latitude
,
to
a
Town
called
Argentaratus
,
where
it
changeth
the
name
to
Tigris
;
in
that
place
it
runneth
so
extreme
swift
,
that
it
will
make
a
mans
head
dizzy
to
look
upon
it
.
Strabo
saith
,
the
River
Euphrates
riseth
out
of
a
Mountain
in
Arme●ia
,
called
Nipha
,
some
300
miles
from
the
City
of
Ierusalem
towards
the
North
,
watering
Mesopotamia
and
Chaldaea
,
and
passing
through
the
midst
of
that
flourishing
City
Babylon
,
divides
it
into
two
parts
;
and
after
passing
through
,
and
fructifying
Arabia
,
it
joyneth
with
the
Flood
Tigris
,
and
falls
into
the
Persian
Gulf.
Semiramis
Queen
of
the
Assyrians
,
and
of
Babylon
,
built
a
Bridge
over
the
narrowest
place
of
this
River
,
being
some
three
quarters
of
a
mile
over
.
The
Hebrews
call
this
River
Parah
,
because
it
fructifieth
;
and
from
thence
the
Graecians
call
it
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
or
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
to
bear
fruit
,
the
Germans
,
Fruchter
,
which
in
English
is
,
fruitful
or
pleasant
.
And
therefore
St.
Ambrose
saith
,
it
is
derived
from
Eu●hranein
,
that
is
,
from
rejoycing
;
for
that
overflowing
the
Fields
,
it
causeth
them
the
next
year
to
flourish
with
all
kind
of
Fruit
and
pleasant
Flowers
.
The
Water
of
this
River
is
very
foul
and
dirty
,
so
that
it
is
unfit
to
drink
;
according
to
that
of
Ieremy
,
chap.
2.
What
availeth
it
thee
to
go
into
Assyria
,
that
thou
mightest
drink
of
the
Water
of
Euphraters
?
If
a
man
takes
this
Water
in
a
Vessel
,
and
let
it
stand
but
two
hours
,
the
Dirt
and
Sand
will
lye
at
the
bottom
thereof
two
inches
thick
.
Therefore
the
Inhabitants
near
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
sunk
to
the
bottom
,
and
so
they
clear
Water
to
drink
.
Nilus
taketh
the
beginning
from
a
certain
Mountain
in
Ma●●itania
the
Lower
,
not
far
from
the
Ocean
,
and
iss●es
from
a
Lake
which
they
call
Nidiles
,
and
partly
from
other
Lakes
,
and
is
increased
with
the
Snow
Waters
falling
from
the
Mountains
of
the
Moon
in
Africa
,
3200
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
South
.
Some
think
it
took
the
name
from
Nileus
a
certain
King
thereabouts
;
others
,
from
the
Soil
which
is
yearly
brought
down
in
the
Stream
,
whereby
all
Aegypt
is
made
fruitful
;
from
whence
some
think
it
was
called
Servious
Nilus
,
for
that
it
bringeth
down
new
Mud
with
〈◊〉
.
The
Hebrews
call
it
Gihon
,
because
it
breaketh
out
of
the
Earth
with
great
Violence
.
This
River
comes
through
the
Desarts
of
Aethiopia
,
and
so
with
great
Violence
comes
into
Egypt
,
where
it
is
divided
into
seven
Streams
,
and
in
times
past
had
seven
Gates
,
the
names
of
which
were
Canopi●us
,
or
Heracli●ticus
,
Bolbitinus
,
Sebiniticus
,
Pharmiticus
,
Mend●sius
,
Taniticus
,
and
Palusiacus
;
the
two
outward
Gates
of
which
,
viz.
Cano●icus
and
Palusiacus
,
were
160
miles
asunder
.
Appianus
saith
,
there
are
two
ot●e●
Gates
called
Tineptimi●us
and
Diolcus
:
this
ninth
Gate
is
divided
at
a
City
and
place
called
Delta
,
taking
the
Name
from
the
likeness
that
it
hath
to
the
Greek
Letter
so
called
.
So
that
Nilus
is
divided
into
nine
Gates
,
by
which
nine
Gates
it
falls
into
the
Mediterranean
Sea
.
There
are
many
that
think
that
Paradise
was
only
in
Egypt
,
and
that
then
it
had
only
but
four
streams
,
and
that
at
the
Flood
it
was
confused
into
nine
,
and
they
would
seem
to
prove
their
Opinions
out
of
the
31
Chapter
of
Ezekiel
,
where
he
calleth
Egypt
a
Garden
of
Pleasure
.
But
this
differeth
from
the
description
of
Moses
,
for
it
is
not
sci●●ate
in
the
East
,
but
rather
the
South
from
Ierus●lem
,
and
far
distant
from
the
two
Eastern
Rivers
,
Euphrates
and
Hiddikel
,
by
which
the
holy
Scriptures
do
principally
denote
Paradise
.
Wherefore
it
may
be
concluded
,
that
Egypt
was
only
a
part
of
Paradise
,
not
Paradise
it self
;
and
that
this
River
was
one
of
the
Rivers
,
not
all
,
the
Streams
of
which
River
,
at
some
times
of
the
year
,
viz.
in
the
Summer
Solstice
,
when
the
Sun
is
near
the
Dog-star
,
begins
to
swell
and
overflow
the
Banks
,
by
reason
of
the
melting
of
the
Snow
which
lies
upon
the
Mountains
of
the
Moon
,
and
so
drown
all
the
places
near
unto
it
,
through
the
Land
of
Egypt
,
leaving
behind
it
certain
Slime
and
Mud
,
by
which
it
comes
to
pass
that
the
Country
is
very
fruitful
,
and
serves
them
instead
of
Rain
,
at
which
time
of
the
Year
(
for
this
happens
once
every
year
)
the
People
and
Inhabitants
of
the
Country
retire
themselves
to
their
Towns
,
Ci●ies
,
and
Castles
,
sci●uated
upon
Rocks
,
Mountains
,
and
high
Grounds
,
from
whence
it
happeneth
that
they
sustain
very
little
discommodity
or
loss
by
any
such
Inu●dation
.
They
also
keep
little
Boats
,
whereby
they
pass
from
one
place
to
another
,
because
all
their
Passages
and
Foot-paths
are
then
drowned
with
Waters
.
There
are
many
pretty
Observations
which
the
People
of
Egypt
were
wont
to
take
notice
of
in
the
rising
of
this
Water
,
for
they
had
certain
Staves
whereby
they
measured
the
depth
of
it
;
if
it
rose
but
to
twelve
Cubits
(
which
is
six
yards
in
height
,
they
then
stood
in
fear
of
great
Famine
,
so
also
if
it
was
but
thirteen
,
for
then
the
Water
was
not
deep
enough
to
make
the
ground
fertile
;
but
if
it
rose
to
fourteen
or
fifteen
,
then
they
were
in
great
hope
,
and
did
not
doubt
of
a
fruitful
Year
;
and
if
to
sixteen
,
they
then
greatly
rejoyced
at
their
Prosperity
,
and
kept
Banquets
and
Feasts
,
and
were
assured
that
the
succeeding
year
would
be
very
plentiful
;
but
if
it
rose
above
,
they
laid
aside
all
signs
of
Joy
,
and
lived
very
sparingly
,
and
with
great
Sorrow
;
this
great
Inundation
of
Waters
fore-shewing
Scarcity
,
and
Want
,
and
Famine
,
and
Pestilence
,
and
Death
.
And
thus
Nilus
yearly
,
every
year
is
to
them
instead
of
Rain
,
for
Egypt
is
without
Rain
.
In
Autumn
,
at
such
time
as
the
Sun
going
out
of
the
last
face
of
Libra
,
entreth
into
Scorpio
,
the
Waters
of
Nilus
,
by
little
and
little
,
retire
themselves
into
their
Banks
,
and
the
Earth
becomes
quite
uncovered
of
Water
:
about
which
time
,
the
Country
being
exceeding
hot
,
the
Earth
is
presently
made
dry
in
all
those
places
,
so
that
in
the
Month
of
October
they
may
both
till
and
sow
their
Land
.
In
this
River
the
Crocodile
and
the
Ichneumo
breed
,
of
the
nature
of
which
two
,
you
may
sufficiently
read
in
Gesner
.
There
also
breeds
the
Pelican
,
of
which
St.
Ierom
saith
,
there
are
two
kinds
,
one
that
lives
upon
the
Water
,
another
that
lives
upon
the
Land
:
these
Birds
,
as
some
affirm
,
kill
their
young
ones
upon
their
Beak
,
and
then
leave
them
lying
in
their
Nest
for
three
days
;
at
the
end
of
which
time
,
the
Female
grievously
wounds
her self
upon
the
Breast
,
and
pouring
her
Blood
upon
her
young
ones
,
revives
them
again
.
This
Bird
may
very
well
be
a
type
and
figure
of
our
Blessed
Saviour
,
who
shedding
his
precious
Blood
upon
the
Cross
for
our
Sins
,
after
the
third
day
rose
again
,
and
that
he
might
restore
us
to
Life
that
be
dead
in
Sin
,
poureth
out
his
Blood
upon
us
,
whereby
we
are
made
capable
of
Eternal
Life
.
Of
the
Place

ADAM
and
Eva
,
being
driven
out
of
Pradise
,
dwelt
at
Damascus
,
160
miles
from
Ierusalem
,
as
Munster
and
others
write
:
the
Townsmen
of
Damascus
,
at
this
day
shew
the
place
where
Cain
slew
his
Brother
Abel
;
and
it
is
well
to
be
believed
that
this
City
receives
her
Name
thereby
,
for
Damascus
signifies
blood-shedding
,
or
a
place
which
hath
drunk
up
Blood
.
Of
the
Place

a
Land
of
Fear
and
Disquiet
,
in
the
Town
of
Hanoch
,
and
,
as
some
think
,
it
was
the
same
place
where
Babylon
(
after

was
built
,
being
four
hundred
and
eighty

upon
which

SEM
who
in
the
Holy
Scriptures
is
called
Melchisedech
,
that
is

a
King
of
Righteousness
,

the
City
of
Ierusalem
,
which
as
then
was
called
Salem

that
is
,
a
City
of

Nimroth

Strabo
writeth
,
That
in
Babylon
there
was
an
old
four-square
Tower
built
of
Brick
,
four
hundred

sixteen
Ells
high
[

That
is
200
yards
high
.
,
and
each
side
thereof
four
hundred
and
sixteen
Ells
broad
:
This
without
doubt
was
a
piece
of
the
Tower
of
Babylon
,
the
top
whereof
should
have
reached
up
to
Heaven

Babel

Babylon

and
there
overthrew

four
Kings
which
had
taken
Lot
Prisoner
,

Then
he
pursued
the
Enem●
for
the
space
of
80
miles
to
Hobam
in
Phoenicia
,
which
lieth
in
the
left
side
of
Damasco
,

,
he
went
to

met
him
,

,
he
went
back
again
to
the
Plain
of

,
which
are
40
miles

11.
From
the
Plain

where
his
Son

21.
12.
From
Gerar
,
he
went
to
Beersaba
,
which
is
12
miles
,
where
he
took
an
Oath
of
King
Abimilech
.
13.
From
Beersaba
,
he
went
to
Mount
Moriah
,
which
is
40

,
where
he
would
have
offered
his
Son
Isaac
,
Gen.

he
returned
again
to

15.
From
Beersaba
,
he
and
his
Wife
went
to
the
Plain
of
Mamre
by
Hebron
,
which
is
16
miles
,
and
there
they
died
and
were
buried
,
Gen.
23.
and
25.
So
that
all
the
Travels
of
the
Patriarch
Abraham
were
1794
miles
.
Now
followeth
the
description
of
the
Towns
and
Places
.
THE
Town
of
Vr
in
Chaldaea
where
Abraham
was
born
,
at
this
day
is
called
Orchae
,
(
as
Petrus
Ap●ianus
writeth
)
and
is
distant
from
Ierusalem
624
miles
Eastward
.
It
seemeth
it
either
took
that
Name
from
Light
or
Fire
,
or
else
from
Divine
Worship
,
for
there
they
used
to
offer
many
burnt
Offerings
,
but
at
that
time
they
committed
Idolatry
,
for
which
cause
Abraham
went
from
thence
,
perceiving
tha●
the
Chaldaeans
took
the
Fire
for
their
God
,
because
Fire
came
down
from
Heaven
and
consumed
their
Offerings
.
Learned
men
therefore
are
of
Opinion
,
that
the
Chal●aeans
in
the
Town
of
Vr
,
worshipped
the
Fire
for
their
God
.
Haran
or
Charan
,
that
is
,
Wrath.
HAran
is
the
chief
City
in
Mesopotamia
,
where
Abraham
for
a
time
dwelt
with
his
Father
Thara
.
There
the
rich
Roman
Crassus
with
his
Army
was
overthrown
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
eleven
days
Journey
from
Mossel
or
Nineveh
,
as
D.
Leonard
Ronwolfe
writeth
,
who
in
anno
1575
,
upon
the
thirtieth
of
Ianuary
was
in
that
Town
.
Ophra
or
Haran
is
a
fair
City
well
inhabited
,
and
indifferent
great
,
compassed
about
with
Walls
and
Towers
,
richly
furnished
with
Merchandize
,
but
especially
with
fair
Coverle●s
of
divers
colours
,
that
are
made
therein
.
There
is
likewise
great
Trade
and
Traffick
for
divers
kinds
of
Wares
brought
thither
by
Caravans
,
which
are
great
Numbers
of
Camels
,
Horses
,
and
other
Beasts
,
that
carry
great
Burdens
,
with
many
men
to
conduct
them
,
which
traffick
and
travel
from
one
City
to
another
.
This
City
in
times
past
belonged
to
the
Parthians
,
even
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
upon
the
sixth
of
Iune
,
after
he
was
by
the
Parthians
overthrown
hard
by
Haran
in
Mesopotamia
,
and
there
taken
and
slain
;
the
Parthians
pouring
molten
Gold
into
his
Mouth
,
said
,
Drink
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
overthrow
were
slain
thirty
thousand
Romans
,
and
by
that
means
the
City
of
Haran
returned
again
under
the
Parthians
.
After
that
,
the
Persians
took
it
;
but
now
it
is
under
the
Turk
.
In
this
City
of
Haran
at
this
day
there
is
to
be
seen
a
Well
of
very
clear
Water
,
at
which
Rebecca
gave
drink
to
Eleazer
Abraham's
Servant
,
and
to
his
Camels
,
Genes.
24.
19.
This
Well
by
the
Towns-men
is
called
Abraham's
Well
:
there
also
Rachel
,
Laban's
Daughter
,
first
spake
with
the
holy
Patriarch
Iacob
,
who
turning
the
stone
off
from
the
Well
,
gave
her
Sheep
of
the
Water
to
drink
.
This
Water
hath
a
very
pleasant
Taste
,
and
is
a
notable
Type
of
holy
Baptism
;
for
like
as
the
holy
Fathers
took
their
Wives
by
this
Well
,
so
Christ
receiveth
his
holy
Congregation
by
the
Well
of
Baptism
,
in
his
Word
and
holy
Sacrament
.
This
is
the
right
Well
of
Israel
,
which
floweth
into
Everlasting
Life
.
The
City
of
Haran
(
now
called
Ophra
)
lieth
from
Nineveh
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
North-ward
.
It
takes
the
Name
(
as
Phil.
Melancthon
writeth
)
from
the
place
whereon
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
,
Joh.
4.
In
this
Town
,
Dina
,
Jacob's
Daughter
was
ravished
,
Gen.
34.
and
there
t●e
Bones
of
the
Patriarch
Joseph
were
buried
,
Josh.
24.
Abimelech
for
spight
,
and
upon
no
occasion
,
utterly
destroyed
the
Town
,
and
having
razed
it
to
the
ground
,
sowed
it
with
Salt
,
Iudg.
9.
But
Ieroboam
King
of
Ierusalem
built
it
up
again
,
and
dwelt
therein
,
1
Kin.
12.
It
was
a
free
Town
,
whither
a
Man-slayer
might
resort
that
had
killed
any
man
by
chance
,
and
save
himself
,
Iosh.
20.
Mount
Garizim
,
whereon
the
Town
of
Sichem
stood
,
was
a
piece
of
Mount
E●hraim
.
Tanais
,
in
Hebrew
Zoan
,
an
Inn
,
or
House
of
Harbour
.
TANAIS
or
Zo●n
,
was
the
chief
City
in
Egypt
,
where
Pharaoh
in
Abraham's
time
kept
his
Court
,
as
we
read
in
the
thirteenth
Chapter
of
the
fourth
Book
of
Moses
,
and
Psil.
58.
and
lieth
232
miles
from
Ierusalem
,
South-eastward
.
Four
miles
from
Tanais
stood
the
Kingly
Town
of
Memphis
,
which
was
likewise
built
before
Abraham's
time
;
but
at
that
time
it
was
not
so
famous
as
Tanais
,
for
there
is
not
one
word
spoken
of
Mem●his
in
the
Books
of
Moses
.
But
when
time
serves
I
will
speak
more
of
these
two
places
.
Of
the
Mount
between
Bethel
and
Hay
.
THIS
Hill
is
four
miles
from
Ierusalem
,
upon
the
North
,
lying
between
the
two
Towns
of
Bethel
and
Hay
,
and
is
called
Mount
Ephraim
;
where
Abraham
at
his
return
out
of
Egypt
the
second
time
,
set
up
his
Tabernacle
,
of
purpose
to
be
conversant
with
Mel●hisedeck
,
who
dwelt
in
Ierus●lem
;
and
with
him
gave
thanks
to
God
for
the
singular
favours
that
he
had
shewed
toward
him
,
in
delivering
his
Wife
Sara
from
the
hands
of
Abimelech
King
of
Egypt
,
who
woul●
have
ravished
her
,
and
,
as
he
feared
,
indanger●d
his
Life
.
In
this
place
Lot
separated
himself
from
Abraham
,
and
went
to
dwell
in
Sodom
.
Of
the
Plain
or
O●k
of
Mamre
.
THE
Plain
of
Mamre
stood
a
mile
from
Hebron
,
towards
the
East
,
and
distant
from
Ierusalem
twenty
two
miles
South-eastward
.
In
this
Vall●y
there
was
a
fair
and
pleasant
Wood
,
where
a
certain
young
man
called
Mamre
dwelt
.
This
man
was
Brother
to
Escal
and
Aner
,
mentioned
by
Moses
,
Genes.
14
▪
who
,
according
to
the
custom
of
Gentlemen
with
us
in
these
times
,
built
up
his
house
nea●
〈…〉
pleasant
Wood
or
Bottom
,
which
,
as
some
think
,
was
called
after
his
name
,
Mamre
.
Others
,
(
of
which
Opinion
is
Ierom
)
of
Aelon
,
which
signifies
a
Valley
or
Tree
(
an
Oak-tree
,
saith
he
.
)
But
Ioseph
and
Aeges●ppus
call
it
a
Terebinth
tree
,
which
both
Summer
and
Winter
beareth
green
Leaves
like
a
Palm-tree
,
the
Sap
or
Juyce
whereof
is
very
good
for
Medicine
.
Abraham
dwelling
near
to
this
Tree
,
being
entertained
by
the
three
Brothers
as
a
Stranger
,
grew
into
such
favour
and
familiarity
with
them
,
that
he
converted
them
from
Paganism
,
and
taught
them
to
know
the
true
and
ever-living
God
.
To
gratifie
which
great
favour
,
they
aided
him
in
his
War
against
the
four
Kings
that
had
taken
Lot
Prisoner
,
and
gave
him
free
liberty
to
inhabit
in
,
and
use
the
Plain
thereabouts
for
his
Cattel
:
before
whose
door
(
as
some
Authors
affirm
)
this
Terebinth
or
Oak-tree
stood
,
and
so
continued
from
the
beginning
of
the
World
,
till
the
time
of
Constantine
the
Great
,
it
being
lawful
for
none
to
cut
a
bough
of
it
,
or
touch
it
wit●
a
Hatchet
,
because
it
was
in
those
days
accounted
a
holy
Tree
,
and
visited
by
divers
Strangers
:
and
then
Helena
caused
a
fair
Church
to
be
built
in
that
place
;
and
so
much
the
rather
,
for
that
Abraham
sitting
under
that
Tree
,
the
three
Angels
appeared
unto
him
in
the
Similitude
or
Likeness
of
men
,
Gen.
8.
●
,
2.
And
some
are
of
Opinion
,
That
because
of
this
,
the
Jews
offered
Incense
to
their
Gods
,
and
committed
Idolatry
upon
high
Mountains
and
under
green
Trees
,
Ezek.
16.
There
was
also
a
double
Cave
made
of
white
Marble
,
which
as
Iosephus
saith
,
was
very
fair
and
beautiful
to
the
eye
,
and
curiously
wrought
and
polished
;
wherein
Abraham
,
Isaac
,
and
Iacob
,
with
their
Wives
Sarah
,
Rebecca
,
and
Le●h
were
buried
;
and
as
some
think
,
was
that
Cave
which
he
purchased
of
the
Hittites
,
Gen.
23.
34.
But
that
Adam
and
Evah
lye
buried
in
the
same
place
,
seeing
there
is
no
warrant
for
it
in
the
holy
Scriptures
,
I
let
it
pass
;
because
,
whatsoever
hath
not
Authority
of
Scripture
to
prove
it
,
may
as
easily
be
contemned
as
allowed
.
But

being
built

which
signifieth
to

and
from
thence

Chebron

a

It
was
a

taking
that
Name
from
Arba
the
Chief
Governour
of
that
City

This
man
was
one
of
the
Anakims
,
and
a
very
mighty
Prince
.

It
was
first
built
by
Heth
,
the
Son
of
that
cursed
Canaan
,
whose
Posterity
(
the
Hittites
)
inhabited
in
it
;
and
such
was
their
Hospitality
,
that
they
entertained
Abraham
,
being
a
Stranger
and
Traveller
.
These
People
dwelt
[

Here
also
dwelt
Sisai
,
Abiman
,
and
Thalmas
the
sons
of
Anak
.
there
until
Joshua's
time
;
and
then
one
Hoham
was
King
thereof
,
who
with
other
Kings
,
opposing
the
Children
of
Israel
,
was
by
them
slain
,
and
had
their
Country
wasted
and
destroyed
.
This
Town
was
after
made
a
Town
of
Refuge
,
and
belonged
to
the
Inheritance
of
Caleb
,
and
was
together
with
Mamre
in
the
Tribe
of
Iuda
,
Ios.

Here
David
was
first
anointed
King
,
and
reigned
therein
for
the
space
of
seven
years
,

Sam.

But
this
Town
,
by
the
injury
of
Time
,
and
oppression
of
the
Enemy
is
now
become
desolate
,
only
some
few
old
Relicks
are
to
be
seen
,
to
shew
there
had
been
a
Town
there
.
Nevertheless
there
is
a
Town
not
far
from
it
which
retaineth
the
name
,
placed
in
a
very
fruitful
Valley
called
Mamre
to
this
day
.
Here
,
while
it
was
under
the
Jurisdiction
of
the
Christians
,
stood
a
Cathedral
Church
,
and
a
Bishops
See
;
but
the
Turks
have
turned
it
into
a
Mosko
,
or
one
of
their
Churches
.
Into
this
place
they
will
not
suffer
any
Christian
to
enter
.
The
Inhabitants
take
upon
them
to
shew
unto
Strangers
many
things
,
as
the
Vault
or
Cave
wherein
Abraham
was
buried
,
the
place
where
Cain
killed
Abel
,
the
Well
where
Adam
and
Evah
wept
seven
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-shot
Eastward
from
this
place
is
the
Field
of
Damascus
,
where
the
red
Earth
lieth
whereof
they
feign
Man
to
be
made
.
It
is
naturally
tough
,
and
may
be
wrought
like
Wax
or
Pitch
.
There
is
also
that
is
white
of
the
same
kind
,
and
this
is
conveyed
to
many
places
by
the
Saracens
,
and
sold
at
dear
Rates
.
They
use
it
either
for
the
teering
of
Sepulchres
,
or
to
mingle
with
Salves
and
Unguents
.
Of
Gerar.
GErar

It
takes
the
name
from
Gor
,
which
signifies
a
Pilgrim
or
Traveller
,
and
did
well
agree
with
the
Condition
of
the
ancient
Patriarchs
that
sometimes
lived
there
,
because
for
the
most
part
they
were
like
Pilgrims

is
derived
from

:
for
Abraham
having
digged
a
Well
near
to
this
place
,
Abimelech
King
of
Gerar
entred
into
League
with
him
,

renewed
this
League
in

place

It
is
now
called
Gallim

the
Jews

In

Hierom's

Of

UPON

have
offered
his
Son
Isaac

and
stood
not
far
from
Salem

Mount
Sion

where
Mel●hisedech
dwelt
.
They
were
so
near

that
Melchisedech

Angel
that
spake
with
Abraham
,
when
he
renewed
the
Covenant
with
him
concerning
his
Seed
and
Posterity
;
and
is
derived
from

signifies
bitter
Myrrh

saith
,
the

Abraham
may
be

and
is
a
Type
and
Figure
of
God
the
Father
;
for
,
that
as
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
,
Jesus
Christ
,
begotten
of
his
own
Essence
from
before
the
beginning
of
the
World
.
And
as
Abraham
so
loved
God
,
that
for
his
sake
he
would
not
have
spared
his
only
Son
;
so
God
so
loved
Abraham
and
the
World
,
that
he
gave
his
only
begotten
Son
to
die
for
the
Salvation
of
their
Souls

The
Travels
of
Lot
.
LOT
travelled
with
Abraham
from
Vr
in
Chaldaea
,
to
Haran
in
Mesopotamia
,
which
is
336
miles
,
Gen.
12.
2.
From
Haran
they
travelled
to
Sichem
in
the
land
of
Canaan
,
b●ing
400
miles
.
3.
From
Sichem
they
travelled
through
Morae
,
to
the
Hill
lying
between
Bethel
and
Hay
,
which
is
24
miles
.
4.
From
the
Hill
between
Bethel
and
Hay
,
they
went
into
Aegypt
,
which
is
240
miles
,
Gen.
13.
5.
From
Aegypt
they
went
into
the
Land
of
Canaan
,
to
the
Hill
lying
between
Bethel
and
Hay
,
where
Abraham
had
dwelt
before
,
which
is
240
miles
,
Gen.
13.
6.
From
the
Hill
between
Bethel
and
Hay
Lot
separated
himself
from
Abraham
,
and
went
to
the
Town
of
Sodom
Eastward
,
which
is
28
miles
,
Gen
13.
7.
In
the
Town
of
Sodom
Lot
was
taken
Prisoner
,
he
and
all
his
houshold
,
and
led
away
to
the
Town
of
Dan
,
which
is
32
miles
,
Gen.
14.
8.
And
when
Abraham
had
delivered
him
out
of
the
hands
of
his
Enemies
,
a
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
rain
Fire
and
Brimstome
on
Sodom
,
Lot
,
according
to
his
Commandment
,
went
thence
to
Zoar
a
little
Town
near
adjoyning
,
where
being
drunk
with
Wine
,
he
committed
Incest
with
both
his
Daughters
;
but
after
,
coming
to
the
knowledge
of
his
Offence
,
he
was
so
sore
afflicted
in
his
Conscience
,
that
with
extream
Grief
he
died
.
Luther
saith
,
that
Abraham
took
him
to
Hebron
with
him
to
comfort
him
,
and
that
there
he
died
.
Hebron
is
36
miles
from
Sodom
.
So
all
the
Travels
of
the
Patriarch
Lot
were
1652
miles
.
The
Description
of
the
Towns
and
Places
where
he
travelled
:
and
first
of
Sodom
.
THE
Cities
that
were
destroyed
with
Fire
and
Brimstone
from
Heaven
,
were
four
in
number
,
that
is
,
Sodom
,
Gomorrah
,
Adama
,
and
Zeboim
,
lying
24
miles
from
Ierusalem
South-eastward
,
where
now
the
Dead
Sea
runs
.
The
fifth
was
the
City
Bela
,
called
also
Zoar
,
which
was
spared
for
Lot's
sake
,
and
distant
from
Sodom
two
miles
.
This
,
Lot
accounted
but
a
little
City
;
but
there
are
that
say
it
was
a
very
spacious
and
Princely
place
,
near
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
be
certainly
proved
,
especially
because
it
remaineth
even
to
this
day
,
scituated
both
in
the
ancient
place
,
and
called
by
the
ancient
Name
;
unless
some
new
City
hath
been
lately
built
in
the
same
place
,
and
is
now
called
after
that
name
,
which
I
cannot
think
to
be
true
.
Sodamah
signifieth
a
Mystery
;
Gomorrah
,
a
Faggot
of
Thorns
;
Adamah
,
Red
Earth
;
Zeboim
,
Fertile
and
Pleasant
;
Zoar
,
the
burning
of
B●la
;
for
in
ancient
times
it
was
called
Baela
.
It
is
the
received
Opinion
,
that
the
Country
wherein
these
five
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
seen
a
Lake
about
36
Miles
long
,
and
in
some
places
six
,
in
others
eight
,
and
twelve
miles
over
.
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
Air
that
riseth
out
of
it
,
insomuch
as
the
very
Birds
that
fly
over
it
fall
down
dead
;
and
if
a
Beast
do
but
drink
of
it
mix'd
with
Water
,
it
makes
him
incurably
sick
.
It
is
of
a
wonderful
nature
,
for
whatsoever
heavy
thing
you
fling
into
it
will
not
sink
,
but
swim
upon
the
top
,
be
it
either
Iron
,
Lead
,
Copper
,
or
any
other
weighty
matter
:
of
which
Vespasian
the
Emperour
having
notice
,
to
make
experience
of
what
he
had
heard
,
made
a
Journey
of
purpose
to
see
it
,
and
with
him
took
certain
condemned
men
,
who
for
their
Offences
had
deserved
Death
;
these
he
manacled
,
and
where
he
thought
it
to
be
deepest
caused
them
to
be
thrown
in
;
but
they
rose
up
again
with
such
violence
as
if
some
Storm
or
Tempest
had
sent
them
up
.
The
Water
thereof
changeth
three
times
a
day
,
and
shineth
against
the
Sun
with
divers
colours
,
casting
out
Fire
and
great
Cakes
of
Pitch
much
resembling
Bulls
without
heads
,
and
of
that
quantity
.
This
Pitch
is
good
for
divers
things
,
as
to
calk
Ships
,
to
lay
upon
Cables
,
and
to
use
in
Medicines
;
wherefore
such
as
come
to
this
Sea
and
know
the
nature
of
it
,
have
certain
Skifs
and
Instruments
wherewith
they
draw
these
Cakes
of
Pitch
to
their
Ships
,
to
which
it
cleaveth
so
fast
,
it
being
naturally
tough
,
that
being
brought
to
Land
they
cannot
get
it
off
again
but
by
the
help
of
Urine
.
Upon
the
Banks
thereof
grow
Trees
that
bear
fruit
of
divers
kinds
,
as
Apples
,
and
such
like
;
which
are
fair
and
pleasant
to
the
Eye
,
but
if
you
either
touch
or
open
them
you
shall
find
nothing
but
Dust.
Brittenbacchus
saith
,
In
this
place
the
Serpent
Tyrus
(
whereof
they
use
to
make
Treacle
)
is
found
.
It
is
a
little
Serpent
about
half
a
Cubit
long
,
and
a
Finger
thick
,
being
of
divers
colours
,
and
is
so
venomous
,
that
where
it
biteth
there
is
no
remedy
,
unless
by
cutting
off
the
Member
:
the
Head
of
it
is
rough
and
hairy
,
and
there
seemeth
to
lye
upon
the
Tongue
of
it
,
if
it
be
angry
,
a
fiery
flame
.
The
same
Author
saith
,
that
a
little
from
Zoar
,
between
this
Lake
and
the
Mountains
of
Engedi
,
the
Pillar
whereinto
Lot's
Wife
was
turned
,
is
yet
to
be
seen
shining
like
Salt

out

THese
two
Angels
having
spoken
with
Abraham
in
the
Valley
of
Mamre
near
Hebron
,
forthwith
went
to
Sodom
some
40
miles
distant
from
that
place
,
where
Lot
having
entertained
them
into
his
House
,
by
their
help
was
delivered
,
together
with
his
Wife
and
two
Daughters
,
from
that
miserable
Desolation
of
the
Sodomites
.
Of
Lot's
two
Daughters
.
LOT
escaping
〈◊〉
is
Desolation
,
and
seeing
a
President
of
God's
Judgment
fallen
upon
his
Wife
for
her
disobedience
,
fearing
that
he
should
not
continue
safe
in
Zoar
,
left
that
,
and
turned
aside
into
the
Wilderness
,
and
continued
there
among
the
Mountains
,
although
the
Lord
had
promised
him
safety
in
this
Town
:
wherefore
continuing
in
a
Cave
in
the
Wilderness
,
the
eldest
of
his
Daughters
losing
her
Husband
in
this
Destruction
,
supposing
that
all
men
had
been
destroyed
,
counselled
her
Sister
to
commit
Incest
with
her
Father
.
Lot
being
now
oppressed
with
Care
,
by
reason
of
the
former
Calamities
,
gave
himself
,
at
the
Inticement
of
his
Daughters
,
to
drink
Wine
,
insomuch
as
with
the
Excess
he
became
drunk
:
at
which
time
,
not
being
himself
,
he
begat
by
his
two
Daughters
two
Sons
;
the
eldest
had
a
Son
whom
she
called
Moab
,
which
signifies
,
the
begotten
of
his
Father
;
whereby
the
Impudency
of
this
Woman
is
laid
open
to
the
World
,
in
that
she
was
not
ashamed
of
her
Sin
.
Of
him
came
the
Moabites
and
dwelt
upon
the
North-side
of
the
Lake
Asphaltides
,
some
32
miles
from
Ierusalem
.
The
youngest
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
Gi●ead
,
threescore
miles
from
Ierusalem
North-eastward
.
Of
the
four
Kings
that
took
Lot
Prisoner
.
THE
first
of
them
was
called
Amraphel
King
of
Shinear
or
Babylon
,
the
Son
of
Ninus
and
Semiramis
,
as
some
think
,
and
is
called
sometime
by
the
name
of
Berosus
,
sometime
Ninus
.
He
kept
his
Court
at
Babylon
in
Chaldaea
,
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
Provinces
he
conquered
.
The
second
was
Arioch
,
or
Arrius
,
his
Son
.
He
was
thus
called
because
of
his
Courage
and
Cruelty
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
,
Assyria
,
for
so
it
is
called
in
the
Chaldaean
Tongue
;
the
chief
City
whereof
is
Nineveh
,
and
lies
from
Ierusalem
North-eastward
six
hundred
eighty
four
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
.
Kedar
signifies
an
Ornament
or
Crown
;
Laomer
,
well
deserving
.
The
fourth
was
Thideal
King
of
the
Nations
.
He
kept
his
Court
in
Damascus
,
the
Metropolis
of
Assyria
,
some
160
miles
from
Ierusalem
Northward
.
Thideal
signifieth
an
exalted
Lord
;
of
Alah
,
that
is
,
to
be
lifted
up
.
These
four
Kings
were
Confederates
,
and
bent
their
Expedition
principally
against
A●toro●h
and
Kiri●thaim
,
which
they
took
,
and
spoiled
all
the
Country
round
about
with
Fire
and
Sword
:
and
their
Armies
being
retired
from
the
Spoil
,
met
in
the
Valley
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
five
Kings
of
that
beautiful
and
pleasant
Soil
of
Pentapolis
,
(
for
so
it
was
called
because
of
those
five
Cities
that
were
in
it
)
where
,
among
others
,
they
took
Lot
Captive
,
with
all
his
Substance
.
Of
Astoroth
.
AStoroth
seems
to
be
the
City
of
Venus
,
because
the
Citizens
thereof
worshipped
her
:
for
Astoroth
is
a
Goddess
of
the
Sidonians
,
and
is
compounded
of
Ash
,
which
signifies
a
company
of
Stars
,
and
Tor
,
placed
in
order
.
The
S●rians
call
Venus
Ashtoroth
.
This
Town
lay
in
the
Land
of
Gilead
,
and
belonged
to
the
half
Tribe
of
Manasses
beyond
Iordan
,
56
miles
from
Ierusalem
North-eastward
.
In
this
City
the
four
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
certain
Gyants
called
Zusim
,
of
Zus
and
Hamah
,
which
signifies
to
stir
up
Commotion
.
These
were
very
great
,
strong
,
and
stately
People
,
and
had
the
Command
of
all
the
Countries
thereabouts
,
which
they
held
in
great
fear
,
and
were
conquered
by
the
four
Kings
.
Of
Kiriathaim
.
KIriathaim
was
a
City
in
the
Tribe
of
Reuben
beyond
Iordan
,
Josh.

twenty
two
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
East
,
and
so
called
because
it
was
divided
into
many
Parts
and
Divisions
.
The
Heathens
corruptly
call
it
Carthage
.
The
Hebrews
derive
it
from
Kiriath
,
which
signifies
a
City
,
and
Emah
,
Terror
.
Here
dwelt
the
Emims
,
a
grave
and
f●arful
people
;
for
so
their
name
signifies
.
Of
Hazezon
Thamar
.
THIS
City
took
the
name
from
a
Palm-tree
,
or
a
Palm
bank
.
Of
this
kind
of
Wood
the
Israelites
made
their
Arrows
,
and
therefore
derive
it
from
Charar
,
which
signifieth
to
shoot
;
and
Thamar
,
a
Palm-tree
.
This
City
standeth
upon
the
Bank
of
the
Dead
Sea
,
twenty
miles
from
Ierusalem
North-east
,
upon
a
very
fruitful
Soil
,
where
was
found
plenty
of
Palm-trees
and
precious
Balsam
;
and
by
some
called
Engedi
,
or
the
Lambs
Well
,
being
derived
from
Ein
and
Gedi
,
which
signifieth
Fontem
haeduli
lactantis
,
that
is
,
The
Well
of
a
sucking
Lamb
or
Goat
.
Not
far
from
hence
stood
the
Cave
where
David
cut
off
the
outward
lap
of
King
Saul's
Garment
,
●
Sam.
24.
Of
the
plentiful
Valley
Siddim
.
THIS
Valley
stood
there
where
now
the
Dead
Sea
runneth
,
and
took
that
name
from
the
fertility
of
the
Soil
,
and
seems
to
have
some
affinity
with
the
Hebrew
word
S●del
,
which
signifies
a
Field
,
partly
arable
,
partly
Pasture
and
Medow
,
furnished
with
Trees
,
Herbs
,
and
Orchards
.
In
this
place
stood
divers
Wells
of
Bitume
,
from
whence
the
Inhabitants
fetch'd
Caement
to
build
their
Houses
with
;
but
after
,
for
their
Wickedness
(
which
was
so
great
,
as
it
appeareth
in
Gen.
18.
that
the
Cry
thereof
as●●nded
into
Heaven
)
the
Lord
did
grievously
punish
them
,
first
with
War
,
by
which
the
Inhabitants
were
destroyed
;
and
after
that
,
with
Fire
and
Brimstone
from
Heaven
;
so
that
(
as
is
aforesaid
)
this
goodly
Valley
is
nothing
but
a
stinking
Lake
.
The
Travels
of
the
Aegyptian
Maid
Hagar
.
AFter
Sara
had
preferred
Hagar
to
that
high
Grace
as
to
make
her
equal
with
her self
,
she
growing
proud
thereof
,
contemned
her
Mistress
,
and
in
recompence
of
that
Favour
,
carried
her
s●lf
very
presumptuously
towards
her
;
which
Sara
seeking
to
restrain
,
offered
to
her
Son
hard
Measure
;
which
Abraham
(
upon
her
Complaint
)
winked
at
:
whereupon
,
Hagar
,
partly
oppress'd
with
Grief
,
partly
with
Envy
,
privily
stole
away
from
her
Mistress
,
and
went
from
the
Valley
of
M●mre
near
Hebron
,
to
the
Well
of
Life
,
sixteen
Miles
Southward
,
Genesis
16.
and
it
is
to
be
thought
,
that
her
Journey
tended
towards
Aegypt
,
which
was
her
native
Country
;
for
this
Well
lay
directly
in
the
way
as
they
went
down
into
Egypt
.
This
flight
of
Hagar
without
doubt
did
greatly
trouble
Abraham's
House
,
and
put
him
and
his
Wife
into
a
great
sorrow
and
fear
,
lest
she
should
destroy
her self
and
the
Infant
,
or
fall
into
some
other
Danger
.
Wherefore
,
that
God
might
make
evident
the
exceeding
Care
he
had
of
them
,
he
sent
an
Angel
unto
Hagar
,
and
willed
her
to
return
unto
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
Angel
.
Whereupon
,
Hagar
,
according
to
his
Command
,
went
back
again
to
her
Mistress
Sarah
into
the
Valley
of
Mamre
,
16
miles
,
Gen.
16.
From
Hebron
,
Hagar
went
with
her
Mistress
to
that
Kingly
City
Gerar
,
six
miles
,
Gen.
20.
At
Gerar
she
and
her
Son
Ismael
were
put
out
of
her
Masters
house
,
and
going
in
the
way
that
leadeth
into
Egypt
,
they
lost
themselves
in
the
Wilderness
of
Beersaba
,
after
they
had
travelled
twelve
miles
from
Gerar
:
where
,
oppress'd
with
want
both
of
Water
and
other
necessaries
,
she
fainted
and
her
Son
also
;
wherefore
she
laid
him
under
a
Tree
,
and
about
a
Bows
shoot
off
sate
down
and
wept
,
expecting
nothing
but
death
.
As
she
was
in
this
misery
,
God
heard
the
voice
of
the
Child
,
and
sent
an
Angel
unto
her
,
saying
,
Fear
not
,
for
I
will
make
of
thy
child
a
great
Nation
.
And
God
opened
her
eyes
,
and
lo
,
close
by
her
there
was
a
Well
,
so
she
went
and
filled
her
bottle
,
and
gave
her
Boy
drink
.
At
this
time
Ismael
was
fifteen
years
of
age
;
So
God
blessed
the
Child
,
and
he
became
an
Archer
,
and
lived
in
the
Wilderness
.
From
thence
she
and
her
Son
went
into
the
Wilderness
of
Pharan
,
eighty
miles
,
where
Ismael
married
an
Egyptian
,
Gen.
21.
So
all
the
Travels
of
Hagar
the
Egyptian
Maid
were
132
miles
.
Of
the
Fountain
of
Hagar
,
which
is
also
called
the
Well
of
Life
.
THIS
Well
lieth
between
●ared
and
Kades-Bernea
,
ten
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
South
.
Some
call
it
the
Well
of
the
Living
and
Seeing
,
because
God
did
there
look
mercifully
upon
Hagar
,
when
she
fled
from
her
Mistriss
.
Here
Isaac
dwelt
,
and
had
his
two
Sons
,
Esau
and
Iacob
,
Genes
.
26.
Afterwards
it
was
called
the
Well
of
the
Living
God
,
and
seemeth
mystically
to
represent
Baptism
,
the
Lavor
of
Grace
and
Regeneration
by
the
operation
and
special
working
of
the
Spirit
:
for
the
Church
(
like
Hagar
with
her
Son
Ismael
)
travelling
through
the
Wilderness
of
this
World
,
is
press'd
with
a
multitude
of
Sins
;
and
seeing
her
own
misery
,
finds
no
remedy
but
by
Faith
in
Christ
Jesus
,
to
be
delivered
from
so
heavy
a
Burthen
;
wherefore
they
joyning
together
in
Prayer
,
crave
the
merciful
audience
and
gracious
assistance
of
God
,
That
it
would
please
him
of
his
goodness
to
refresh
them
with
the
Water
of
Life
,
the
Doctrine
of
Grace
,
that
so
they
may
be
made
capable
of
eternal
Glory
.
For
Hagar
signifies
a
Pilgrim
,
and
Ismael
,
a
godly
and
good
man
whom
the
Lord
heareth
:
who
travelling
together
with
his
Mother
the
Church
in
this
World
,
fighteth
against
the
Enemies
thereof
,
and
shooteth
the
Arrows
of
Faith
against
all
infernal
and
cruel
Beasts
.
For
Schamah
signifies
,
He
hath
heard
;
and
El
,
The
Almighty
God
,
who
mercifully
heareth
the
fervent
Prayers
and
Petitions
of
the
Just
;
according
to
that
of
St.
Iames
,
ch.
5.
15.
Ismael
was
born
Ann.
Mundi
2035.
Abraham
being
then
86
years
of
age
.
He
was
circumcised
at
thirteen
,
he
went
from
his
Father
at
fifteen
;
he
was
at
Abraham's
Funeral
,
being
89
years
of
age
;
he
died
when
he
was
137
years
of
age
,
fifty
years
after
the
death
of
Abraham
,
and
left
behind
him
twelve
Sons
,
as
Iacob
did
,
which
were
the
Princes
of
their
Families
,
as
was
his
.
Of
which
the
Apostle
Paul
hath
an
excellent
Allegory
;
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
unto
Bondage
;
for
Agar
or
Sinai
is
a
Mountain
in
Arabia
,
and
answereth
to
Ierusalem
that
now
is
;
and
she
is
in
Bondage
with
her
Children
:
but
Ierusalem
which
is
above
is
free
,
f●r
it
is
written
,
Rejoyce
thou
Barren
,
&c.
Wherefore
we
are
no
more
of
the
Bond-woman
,
(
which
is
the
Law
)
but
of
the
Free
;
no●
by
our
own
Works
or
Righteousness
,
but
by
Faith
in
Christ
,
who
maketh
us
Heirs
of
that
Heavenly
Ierusalem
.
Where
Ishmael
dwelt
.
PAran
a
City
of
Arabia
the
Stony
,
stood
an
104
miles
from
Ierusalem
South-ward
,
and
taketh
the
name
from
fertility
;
for
Parah
with
the
Hebrews
signifies
a
fruitful
root
.
From
this
Metropolitan
Town
,
the
Desart
of
Arabia
the
Stony
,
near
Cades
,
taketh
name
:
of
which
mention
is
made
,
Num.
13.
and
14.
Deut.
1.
Gen.
14.
21.
Habac.
3.
and
is
called
the
Desart
of
Pharan
.
Here
Ishmael
,
that
excellent
Archer
and
Hunter
dwelt
,
after
that
with
great
power
and
strength
he
had
conquered
all
the
Neighbouring
Princes
and
People
thereabout
.
His
Posterity
also
inhabited
these
Parts
,
and
after
his
name
were
called
Ishmaelites
,
some
eighty
miles
from
Ierusalem
toward
the
South
.
These
People
were
excellent
Souldiers
,
and
of
noble
courage
;
their
principal
delight
was
shooting
,
and
therein
they
exceeded
others
,
living
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
derived
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
Travels
of
Eleazar
the
Servant
of
Abraham
.
AFter
Eleazar
had
sworn
to
his
Master
to
take
a
Wife
for
his
Son
Isaac
of
the
Generation
of
his
Fathers
,
he
went
from
the
Valley
of
Mamre
near
Hebron
,
to
Haran
a
City
of
Mesopotamia
,
468
miles
off
,
and
there
made
a
Contract
with
Rebecca
the
Daughter
of
Bethuel
,
and
Sister
of
Laban
,
whom
he
took
along
with
him
,
and
returned
to
his
Master
.
So
that
his
Journey
to
and
again
was
944
miles
.
These
things
happened
in
the
Year
of
the
World
2089
,
and
before
Christ
,
1879
,
Isaac
then
being
forty
years
of
age
.
This
Eleazar
was
Steward
of
Abraham's
house
,
and
born
at
Damascus
,
the
chief
City
of
Syria
.
He
was
so
called
,
because
God
was
his
help
;
Eleazar
being
a
compound
word
of
El
and
Ezaer
,
which
signifies
Almighty
God
the
helper
.
From
whence
we
may
perceive
,
that
God
is
the
Keeper
of
the
Poor
,
and
a
ready
helper
in
time
of
Tribulation
;
according
to
that
in
the
Psal●s
,
All
they
that
know
thee
trust
in
thee
;
because
thou
,
O
Lord
,
hearest
their
Prayers
,
and
bringest
them
out
of
trouble
.
Rebecca
,
as
it
should
seem
,
took
her
name
from
the
expectation
of
Eternal
Life
;
for
Rebechan
in
Hebrew
doth
denote
such
a
Woman
,
which
expecteth
a
free
delivery
fr●m
all
Calamity
,
and
an
inheritance
of
eternal
Life
.
Therefore
Rebecca
is
a
notable
Type
of
the
Church
of
God
,
which
is
the
Spouse
of
Ch●i●t
,
shadowed
in
Isaac
;
as
shall
hereafter
be
more
plainly
manifested
.
The
Travels
of
the
Patriarch
Isaac
.
ISaac
being
young
,
went
with
his
Father
Abraham
from
Berzeba
to
Mount
Moriah
,
where
his
Father

From
thence
with

Father
he
returned
again

From
Berzeba
he
travelled
with
his
Father
to

,
by
the
Plain
of
Mamre
,
which
is
16
miles
.

From

,
Isaac
travelled
Southward
,
to
the
Fountain
of
Life
,
which
is
16

and
there
he
dwelt
,

From
thence
he
returned
back
again
to
his
Fathers
Burial
,
who
was
laid
in
that
double
Cave
in
Mamre
,
which
is
16

From
thence
he
returned
back
again
to
the
Well
of
Life
,
where
he
dwelt
;
16
miles
.
7.
From
the
Fountain
of
Life
,
he
went
to
Gerar
,
which
is
eight
miles
;
where
Abimelech
seeing
the
Beauty
of
his
Wife
Rebecca
,
would
have
ravish'd
her
,
and
for
fear
,
she
told
him
that
she
was
his
Sister
,

From
Gerar
,
Isaac
went
Westward
to
the
Valley
of
Gerar
,
which
is
eight

and
there
he
caused
the
Well
to
be
digged
up
again
,
which
the
Inhabitants
had
stopped
up
,
Gen.
26.
9.
From
thence
he
went
to
Beersaba
,
which
is
four
miles
;
where
the
same
Night
the
Lord
appeared
unto
him
,
and
said
,
I
am
the
God
of
thy
Father
Abraham
,
fear
not
,
for
I
am
with
thee
,
and
will
bless
and
multiply
thy
seed
for
my
Servant
Abraham

s
sake
,
Gen.

From
Beersaba
he
returned
again
to

here
Abraham
,
Sarah

The
typical
signification
of
Isaac
.
THE
Name
of
Isaac
is
derived
from
Laughter
;
for
Zakah
in
Hebrew
is
as
much
as
quod
risit
is
in
Latin
,
which
signifieth
that
he
laughed
;
and
from
hence
Zechock
signifies
a
Laughter
,
and
Isaac
,
Mirth
,
or
one
that
rejoyceth
with
Mirth
.
This
Name
was
given
to
him
by
God
before
his
Nativity
,
Gen.
17.
18.
There
were
seven
that
were
named
by
God
before
their
Nativity
,
viz.
Ishmael
,
Gen.
16.
Isaac
,
Gen.

Cyrus

Persians
,
Esa.

Iosia

,

Iohn
Baptist
,
and
Iesus
Christ
the
Son
of
God
,
Luke
.
1.
of
whom
Isaac
was
a
notable
Type
.
For
Christ
is
our
true
rejoycing
,
the
Laughter
,
Mirth
,
and
Delight
of
the
whole
Church
of
God
.
Abraham
upon
the
day
of
the
Nativity
of
Isaac
made
a
great
Feast
,
to
which
,
no
doubt
,
he
called
many
godly
men
,
and
perhaps
some
of
the
Patriarchs
:
for
there
was
then
living
Sarag
,
Arphaxad
,
Salah
,
Heber
,
Thamar
,
and
Sem
,
the
Son
of
Noah
,
who
also
had
a
certain
knowledge
of
Gods
promise
to
Abraham
,
and
that
of
the
seed
of
Isaac
should
come
the
Saviour
of
the
World
.
And
as
Abraham
when
he
would
have
offered
his
Son
unto
the
Lord
,
carried
the
Fire
and
the
Sword
,
but
Isaac
the
Wood
upon
which
he
should
be
slain
and
burned
,
(
O
miserable
sight
,
especially
to
a
Father
,
to
see
his
only
Son
and
Heir
,
which
was
miraculously
begotten
,
even
then
when
he
was
without
hope
of
Issue
,
burnt
to
Ashes
before
his
Face
!
This
was
on
Mount
Moriah
,
a
little
from
Salem
or
Ierusalem
)
even
so
our
Saviour
Christ
,
for
the
sins
that
man
commits
and
carries
about
him
,
bore
upon
his
Shoulders
the
wooden
Cross
,
whereupon
he
was
offered
an
acceptable
Sacrifice
to
his
Father
,
that
so
by
his
Mediation
and
Satisfaction
we
might
receive
Pardon
for
them
:
and
this
was
likewise
done
upon
Mount
Calvary
,
a
little
from
Ierusalem
.
And
as
the
Lord
provided
another
Sacrifice
for
Abraham
,
that
so
he
might
save
his
Son
,
which
was
a
Ram
tied
and
intangled
in
Thorns
;
so
God
provided
a
Sacrifice
for
the
Salvation
of
the
World
,
even
Jesus
Christ
our
Mediator
,
who
is
that
immaculate
and
precious
Lamb
of
God
;
whose
Head
being
crowned
with
Thorns
,
and
hanging
upon
the
Cross
,
by
his
precious
Death
opened
unto
us
the
door
of
eternal
Life
,
and
made
us
capable
of
everlasting
Happiness
,

Such
was
the
love
of
Abraham
,
a
Father
,
unto
God
,
such
the
love
of
God
,
a
Father
,
unto
man
,
that
they
spared
not
their
only
Sons

The
Description
of
the
Towns
and
Places
to
which
Jacob
travelled
.
Of
Bethel
.
BEthel
was
a
Town
in
the
Tribe
of
Benjamin
,
eight
miles
from
Jerusalem
towards
the
North
,
and
signifies
The
house
of
God
.
In
times
past
it
was
called
Luz
;
but
Jacob
seeing
in
that
place
the
Vision
of
the
Ladder
,
with
the
Angels
ascending
and
de●cending
upon
it
,
and
because
there
the
Lord
renewed
the
Covenant
with
him
concerning
his
Seed
,
and
the
coming
of
Christ
;
he
therefore
called
it
Bethel
.
Afterward
,
Jeroboam
having
unlawfully
usurp'd
the
Kingdom
of
Rehoboham
,
caused
a
Calf
to
be
set
up
there
;
for
which
cause
,
it
was
then
called
Bethaven
,
which
signifieth
the
house
of
Sin
and
abominable
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
Towns
should
stand
within
two
miles
one
of
the
other
,
which
seemeth
very
absurd
;
therefore
I
dare
boldly
affirm
,
that
there
was
but
one
Bethel
,
which
stood
upon
the
borders
of
Benjamin
and
Ephraim
,
both
Tribes
bordering
upon
the
South-side
of
the
Town
of
Luz
,
Josh.
16.
and
18.
This
Town
of
Bethel
was
at
first
in
the
Suburbs
of
Luz
,
until
the
Division
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.
and
25.
Iosh.
7.
and
18.
From
hence
there
is
a
two-fold
Mystery
to
be
apprehended
:
the
first
,
of
Jacob
,
whose
sleeping
in
this
place
upon
a
Stone
,
caused
this
City
or
Town
to
be
built
,
and
to
retain
the
name
of
Bethel
,
that
is
,
The
house
of
God
.
So
whosoever
seeks
to
have
eternal
Life
,
must
rest
upon
that
corner
stone
Christ
Jesus
,
the
Son
of
the
everliving
God
,
and
by
faith
be
incorporated
into
the
Church
,
which
is
the
House
of
God
,
of
which
Christ
(
the
anointed
of
the
Lord
)
is
both
King
and
Priest
for
ever
.
Secondly
,
as
Jacob
resting
upon
this
corner
Stone
,
saw
the
Angels
ascending
and
descending
from
Heaven
unto
Earth
,
so
by
this
Incorporation
into
the
body
of
the
Church
(
of
which
Christ
is
the
Head
)
by
Faith
and
Baptism
,
our
Souls
are
made
capable
to
ascend
into
that
heavenly
Tabernacle
,
which
he
hath
prepared
for
all
those
that
believe
:
according
to
that
in
John
14.
I
am
the
way
,
the
truth
,
and
the
life
,
no
Man
cometh
unto
the
Father
but
by
me
only
.
And
whosoever
is
assured
of
this
Ladder
(
that
reacheth
from
Heaven
unto
Earth
)
may
well
say
with
Iacob
,
Surely
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
is
in
this
place
;
here
is
nothing
but
the
House
of
God
,
and
here
is
the
Gate
of
Heaven
;
as
Christ
himself
testifieth
in
the
tenth
of
Iohn
,
I
am
the
door
,
and
whosoever
entreth
not
by
me
,
&c.
So
that
Christ
is
the
Head
of
his
Church
,
the
Ladder
that
ascendeth
into
Heaven
,
and
the
door
whereby
we
may
enter
into
eternal
Life
.
Of
Gilead
.
THIS
Land
of
Gilead
was
a
Country
that
lay
between
Iordan

the
Mountain
of
Gilead

or
rather
between
the
Sea

But
that
part
which
lieth
between

is
properly
called
Gilead
;
for
when
Iacob

in

,
they
gathered
a

thence

For

Tongue

called

〈◊〉
●e●p
of

But
Iacob
in
the
Hebrew
Language
,
called
that

together
with
all
the
Countrey
thereabouts
,
Gal●ed
,
or
Galaad
;
the

for
Gal
signifieth
a

Galal

he
rolled

he
thrust
into
a
round
heap

This
Land
of
Gilead
was
very
fertile
and
pleasant
,
being
adorned
with
many
Castles
and
strong
Cities
:

in
this
Countrey

Of
Machanaim
.
MAchanaim
was
a
City
of

,
near
to
the
floud
of
Iord●n
and
Iaboch

forty
four
miles
from
Ierusalem
toward
the
South-east
,
and
scituate
in
the
Land
of
Gilead
beyond
Iordan
;
being
so
called
of
the
Patriarch
Iacob
,
because
there
he
saw
the
Tents
and
Army
of
Angels
,
which
he
understood
to
be
his
assistants
against
his
Brother
Esau
,
whom
he
feared
,

For
Chana
signifieth
Castrametatus

that

the
Tents

measured
out
;
from
whence
Machanaim
is
the
proper
name
of
a
place
,
being
derived
from
two
Tents
of
Angels
which
appeared
to
Iacob
,
that
they
might
defend
him
in
his
Journey
;

God
compass

therefore
Iacob
with
great
Joy
brake
out

said
,
The
Tents

called
it
Machanaim

is
derived
from

THIS

it
was
scituated
in
a

Bethlachem

Parah

that

Baith

Of
the
Town
of
Aeder
.
THis
was
a
Watch
Tower
of
the
Bethlemites
,
about
a
mile
from
Bethlem
,
towards
the
South
,
and
was
so
called
from
the
flocks
of
Sheep
that
resorted
thither
:
for
Migdal
signifies
a
Tower
,
and
Aeder
,
a
flock
or
Herd
;
for
thereabouts
were
very
fertile
Pastures
.
Here
the
Angels
told
the
Shepherds
of
the
Nativity
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
Shepherds
.
Here
Iacob
dwelt
for
a
time
,
and
in
this
place
Reuben
lay
with
Billah
his
Wife
,

GOsen
was
a

delectable

Countrey

Land

Egypt
,
the
Metropolitan
whereof
was
Ony
,
two
hundred
miles
from
Ierusalem
,
towards
the
South-west
:
In
this
City
Iacob
dwelt
.
The
typical
signification
of
the
Patriarch
Jacob.
JAcob
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
.
Again
,
he
is
the
type
of
a
Christian
man
:
for
as
he
,
wrestling
with
the
Angel
,
obtained
a
Blessing
;
so
every
good
man
continually
striving
with
Perseverance
in
Prayer
,
shall
at
length
obtain
an
everlasting
blessing
:
for
,
for
this
cause
was
Iacob
called
Israel
,
that
is
,
the
Prince
of
God
,
in
that
he
prevailed
with
God
:
so
all
those
that
belive
in
Christ
,
are
called
Princes
of
the
Kingdom
of
Heaven
;
because
by
his
Mediation
they
have
prevailed
with
God
,
and
are
made
partakers
of
Eternal
Life
.
Iacob
had
two
Wives
,
Leah
and
Rachel
;
Lea
signifies
wearied
,
and
was
a
type
of
the
old
Mosaical
Church
:
for
that
was
oppressed
and
wearied
with
the
Laws
of
Moses
,
and
brought
forth
Priests
,
Levites
,
Kings
,
and
Warlike
Princes
,
by
which
the
People
of
the
Jews
became
oppressed
and
wearied
by
extream
Labours
,
and
at
length
were
miserably
extinguished
:
for
as
it
is
in
the
fifteenth
of
the
Acts
of
the
Apostles
,
The
Law
of
Moses
was
an
intollerable
and
troublesom
Burthen
.
But
Rachel
signifies
a
Sheep
,
and
is
a
Type
and
Sign
of
the
Church
of
God
in
the
New
Testament
,
as
Christ
himself
speaketh
in
the
tenth
of
John
,
My
sheep
hear
my
voice
and
follow
me
,
and
I
will
give
them
eternal
Life
.
Sheep
are
naturally
patient
and
peaceable
;
so
all
such
as
are
of
Christs
Church
,
seek
after
Patience
and
Peace
.
Leah
was
nothing
so
fair
,
but
much
more
fruitful
;
Rachel
was
nothing
so
fruitful
,
but
a
great
deal
fairer
.
Leah
was
the
Mother
of
Benjamin
,
which
signifies
Sorrow
;
Rachel
of
Ioseph
,
who
was
a
Type
of
Christ
.
Of
the
Travels
of
Esau.
ESAV
travelled
from
Mount
Sier
in
Mesopotamia
,
to
the
Town
of
Pnuel
or
Penuel
,
eighty
miles
,
to
meet
his
Brother
Iacob
:
where
the
singular
civility
and
humility
of
Iacob
towards
him
,
is
worthy
observation
.
For
he
first
sent
to
meet
him
,
then
he
did
him
obedience
to
the
ground
seven
several
times
,
and
so
saluted
him
,
saying
,
Lo
,
these
are
the
Children
which
God
of
his
Grace
hath
given
thy
Servant
.
From
whence
it
may
be
gathered
,
That
it
becometh
every
man
(
if
it
be
possible
)
to
win
his
Enemy
to
Peace
and
Concord
rather
by
Humanity
and
Humility
,
than
by
force
:
for
Esau
,
seeing
this
kind
of
Reverence
,
though
before
he
had
a
full
determination
to
do
him
violence
,
yet
now
he
comes
to
meet
him
,
embraces
him
,
takes
him
about
the
neck
,
begins
to
weep
,
and
kisses
him
,
yea
,
such
was
their
love
,
that
they
both
wept
with
joy
,
Gen.
33.
After
,
Esau
returning
,
went
home
to
Sier
back
again
,
eighty
miles
:
these
things
hapned
in
the
year
of
the
World
2206
;
when
both
Brethren
were
about
89
years
of
Age
,
and
in
the
year
before
Christ
1762.
Of
Mount
Sier
.
MOUNT
Sier
,
where
Esau
and
his
Posterity
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
driven
thence
by
the
fourteen
Sons
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
typical
meaning
of
Esau.
ESAV
signifies
a
Factor
,
and
was
so
called
from
Redness
:
The
Enemies
of
the
Church
colouring
themselves
red
with
the
blood
of
the
Godly
:
For
as
Rebecca
had
in
her
Womb
two
Sons
,
that
is
,
Esau
and
Iacob
,
one
elected
the
other
reprobated
:
so
in
the
Church
there
are
found
two
sorts
of
People
,
good
and
evil
;
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
faithful
Children
of
God
,
that
hope
through
the
mediation
of
our
blessed
Saviour
,
to
be
made
heirs
of
everlasting
happiness
,
and
be
crowned
with
him
in
his
Kingdom
with
the
Crown
of
Glory
.
So
that
here
the
saying
of
our
Saviour
may
be
verified
;
the
first
shall
be
last
,
●●d
the
last
shall
be
first
;
for
Esau
was
the
eldest
,
yet
lost
his
Birth-right
;
and
Iacob
was
the
youngest
,
yet
got
the
Blessing
.
Of
the
Travels
of
the
Patriarch
Juda.
JVDA
travelled
from
Sichem
,
where
Jacob
dwelt
,
and
went
to
the
Town
of
Odulla
,
some
forty
and
four
miles
,
where
he
was
married
to
the
daughter
of
one
Chananei
,
whose
name
was
Schuah
,
which
signifies
,
a
happy
Saviour
,
by
her
he
had
two
Children
in
that
place
,
Viz.
Ger
and
Onan
.
From
thence
he
went
to
Timnah
to
shear
his
Sheep
,
six
miles
:
and
as
he
turned
aside
out
of
the
way
,
he
committed
incest
with
his
daughter-in-law
Thamar
,
when
she
was
about
26
years
of
Age.
Afterwards
he
went
twice
with
his
Brethren
into
Egypt
,
to
buy
Corn
at
Zoan
,
where
Joseph
at
that
time
was
;
for
the
Famine
was
very
great
round
about
.
So
that
reckoning
his
Journey
twice
two
and
again
,
it
amounted
to
822
miles
;
for
Zoan
was
208
miles
from
Hebron
,
where
Jacob
and
his
Sons
dwelt
.
Lastly
,
he
returned
again
with
his
Father
and
his
Brother
into
Aegypt
,
208
miles
.
These
things
happened
in
the
year
of
the
World
1239.
and
before
Christ
1729.

of
the
Midianites
,
near
to
the
Red
Sea
,
some
160
miles
from
Ierusalem

signifies
a

Madad
,
which
signifies
,
He

Here
Jethro

There
was
also
another

of
the
same
Name
,
that
stood
near
to
Arnon
,
some
twenty
four
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
East
;
so
that
the
Midianites
had
their
seat
partly
near
the
Red
Sea
,
in
Arabia
Petraea
,
and
partly
upon
the
Confines
of
the
Moabites

,
which
he

And
as
Bernard
Britenbach
saith
,
in
this
place
there
is
a
Chappel
built
,
called
the
Church
of
S.
Mary
in
the
Bush.
In
this
Chappel
there
is
a
place
shewed
where
God
spake
with
Moses
,
Ex.
3.
but
how
true
,
that
I
leave
,
because
there
are
many
Churches
built
by
Monks
for
no
other
purpose
but
to
deceive
Travellers
and
Pilgrims
of
their
Mony
.
Of
Raemsis

THIS
is
one
of
the
strong
Cities
which
the
Israelites
built

and
is
a
Metropolitan
City
in
the
Land
of
Gossen
,
174
miles
from
Jerusalem
towards
the
South-west
,
and
signifies
Joy
and
Delight
,
being
derived
of
Raam

Of
Pihachiroth
.
THIS
was
a
certain
Plain
lying
between
two
Hills
neer
to
the
Red
Sea
,
and
was
called
Pinaehiroth
,
which
signifies
a
Mouth
cut
,
or
carved
out
;
where
the
children
of
Israel
pitched
their
Tents
.
Here
Pharaoh
invaded
them
when
they
went
out
of
Aegypt
,
taking
opportunity
of
the
place
:
for
they
having
on
either
side
of
them
a
high
Mountain
,
before
them
the
Red
Sea
,
and
behind
them
a
cruel
and
mighty
Tyrant
,
to
the
judgment
of
man
,
had
no
means
to
escape
.
But
the
Lord
,
to
express
the
mightiness
of
his
Power
,
and
that
the
children
of
Israel
might
know
who
it
was
that
delivered
them
,
made
them
a
Passage
,
and
led
them
under
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
Baal-zephon
is
to
be
seen
.
Of
the
Red
Sea
.
THE
Red
Sea
is
160
miles
from
Jerusalem
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
upon
the
shore
,
cast
up
by
the
Sea
.
Others
say
,
that
the
redness
thereof
hapneth
because
of
the
shadow
cast
into
the
Water
by
the
Mountains
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
of
the
Ocean
,
clear
and
salt
.
Strabo
,
lib.
16.
observeth
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
Son
to
Perseus
and
Andromeda
,
who
sometimes
dwelt
in
the
Island
of
that
Sea
.
It
is
also
called
the
Arabian
Gulf
,
running
from
the
South
to
the
West
;
and
by
the
Hebrews
,
I
am
suph
,
a
Scaly
Sea
,
all
which
names
are
at
this
day
used
:
at
the
utmost
bounds
hereof
are
seen
the
admirable
works
of
Pharaoh
Meco
,
who
would
have
brought
this
Sea
to
the
River
Nilus
,
that
so
he
might
have
sailed
thence
into
the
Mediterranean
Sea
:
but
this
work
he
could
not
finish
,
being
opposed
by
the
wise
men
of
Egypt
.
Here
also
grows
certain
Trees
that
are
as
red
as
Brasil
wood
.
Of
the
mystery
of
the
Red
Sea
.
AS
Moses
led
the
Children
of
Israel
through
the
Red
Sea
,
and
delivered
them
from
the
Bondage
and
Captivity
of
the
Kings
of
Aegypt
;
so
Jesus
Christ
,
the
Son
of
God
,
by
his
precious
Blood
,
has
deliver●d
us
from
the
house
of
Bondage
,
and
the
tyranny
of
Sathan
:
and
as
Pharaoh
and
all
his
Host
was
there
drowned
;
so
the
Sin
of
Adam
,
Death
,
and
the
Devil
,
in
that
Sea
of
Christs
blood
is
utterly
drowned
,
and
we
delivered
from
the
Pit
of
Hell
.
Of
Baal-Zephon
.
THIS
was
an
Idol
erected
by
the
Aegyptians
near
to
the
shore
of
the
Red
Sea
,
and
is
called
Baal-zephon
,
that
is
,
the
Lord
of
defence
and
watchfulness
,
because
,
as
they
thought
,
he
resisted
Fugitive
Servants
,
as
Fagius
and
other
Hebrews
observe
:
being
derived
from
Baal
,
which
signifies
a
Lord
,
and
Zapha
,
that
is
,
that
hath
seen
,
or
to
behold
and
see
.
The
Temple
of
this
Idol
stood
close
by
the
shoar
of
the
Red
Sea
upon
a
high
hill
,
very
curiously
wrought
,
so
that
the
Children
of
Israel
going
through
the
same
could
not
chuse
but
see
it
,
yet
nevertheless
they
went
securely
,
when
Pharaoh
and
all
his
Host
were
drowned
,
notwithstanding
that
their
God
of
Defence
was
so
near
them
.
Of
Marah
.
THIS
is
a
place
in
the
Desart
,
which
took
the
name
of
bitterness
,
distant
from
Ierusalem
160
miles
,
towards
the
South-west
.
Here
Moses
made
the
Water
sweet
by
throwing
in
Wood
:
The
mystery
whereof
is
,
when
Adam
and
Evah
had
eaten
of
the
forbidden
Fruit
,
they
brought
bitterness
through
all
the
World
,
yea
,
the
bitterness
of
Sin
and
Death
:
but
God
shewed
unto
Moses
another
Tree
,
that
is
,
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
who
being
thrown
into
the
Waters
of
bitterness
,
Afflictions
,
Calamities
,
Miseries
,
yea
,
and
the
Death
of
the
Cross
,
for
our
sakes
and
sins
underwent
the
curse
of
the
Law
;
that
so
taking
away
the
bitterness
,
we
might
be
made
capable
of
that
sweet
and
delectable
place
of
Eternal
Life
.
Of
Elim
.
THIS
was
the
sixth
resting-place
of
the
Israelites
in
the
Desart
,
120
miles
from
Ierusalem
toward
the
South-west
;
and
is
derived
from
Aial
,
which
signifies
a
Hart
,
a
strong
and
swift
Creature
,
of
which
it
seems
there
were
great
multitudes
which
resorted
to
this
place
to
drink
:
and
from
thence
it
is
called
Elim
.
Here
stood
12
Fountains
and
70
Palm-trees
.
Of
Sin
.
THIS
was
a
thorny
place
in
the
Desart
,
156
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
South-west
.
Here
it
rained
down
Quails
and
Manna
from
Heaven
;
being
a
Type
of
our
Saviour
Jesus
Christ
,
that
Heavenly
Manna
which
raiseth
us
up
unto
Eternal
Life
,
Ioh.
6.
and
is
derived
of
Manah
,
which
signifies
to
distribute
;
and
therefore
Man
or
Mannah
signifies
a
distributive
Gift
,
or
Meat
fallen
from
Heaven
distributively
.
Sin
signifieth
a
thorny
place
,
from
Zemeh
,
which
signifies
a
Bush
:
for
Christ
flourisheth
in
the
midst
of
his
Enemies
,
as
a
Lilly
amongst
thorns
,
Can.

Psal.
10.
Of
Raphadim
.
RAphadim
was
a
place
where
the
Children
of
Israel
pitched
their
Tents
in
the
Desart
,
not
far
from
Mount
Sinai
,
132
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
South-west
,
and
signifieth
a
Grass
bench
strewed
with
sweet
herbs
and
flowers
;
being
derived
from
Raphad
,
which
is
as
much
as
to
say
in
our
Language
,
To
make
a
Bed
or
place
for
one
to
lye
down
on
.
Here
Moses
struck
the
Rock
,
out
of
which
Water
issued
,
Exod.
17.
which
was
a
Type
of
that
Spiritual
Rock
Christ
Jesus
,
1
Cor.
10.
who
being
struck
with
the
staff
of
the
curse
of
the
Law
,
out
of
his
precious
wounds
and
side
sent
forth
that
Water
of
Life
which
runneth
into
Eternal
happiness
.
In
this
place
the
Children
of
Israel
fought
against
the
Amalekites
,
and
overcame
them
,
Ex.
17.
and
here
Iethro
came
unto
Moses
,
where
,
according
to
his
counsel
,
there
were
seventy
Elders
chosen
over
the
People
,
Ex.
18.
This
was
a
fruitful
and
pleasant
place
.
Of
Mount
Sinai
.
SInai
is
120
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
South
,
and
because
in
that
place
there
are
many
Bushes
and
Thorns
,
it
is
called
Sinai
;
for
Senaeh
signifies
a
Bush.
Here
the
Law
(
which
we
call
the
Ten
Commandments
)
was
given
;
and
not
unfitly
,
because
like
Thorns
they
prick
and
vex
the
Hearts
and
Consciences
of
wicked
men
.
It
is
also
called
Horeb
,
or
Chareb
,
which
signifies
a
place
made
dry
.
Bernard
Britenbach
,
and
many
others
,
in
the
Month
of
September
1483
,
went
purposely
to
see
this
Mountain
,
and
with
great
Labour
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
upper
part
divided
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
sometimes
called
Horeb
,
sometimes
Sinai
,
being
both
one
Hill
of
the
Base
.
Between
these
there
lies
a
fair
and
spacious
Plain
,
in
the
middle
whereof
(
and
,
as
it
may
be
thought
,
in
the
midst
of
the
Mountain
)
there
stands
a
Monastery
,
near
to
which
there
is
adjoyning
a
very
pleasant
Garden
and
Orchard
,
plentifully
furnished
with
Date-trees
,
Fig-trees
,
and
many
others
,
very
profitable
and
pleasant
;
where
in
antient
times
there
were
many
Monks
that
continued
there
.
But
it
happened
,
that
a
certain
number
of
Pagans
,
in
hope
to
find
some
Booty
,
came
from
a
Haven
of
the
Red
Sea
,
called
Thor
,
and
upon
a
sudden
broke
in
upon
them
,
and
put
forty
of
them
to
the
Sword
;
from
whence
it
was
ever
after
called
the
Abbey
of
the
forty
Martyrs
.
Now
it
remains
desolate
,
few
or
none
inhabiting
there
,
only
two
Monks
of
St.
Katharines
Order
,
and
these
are
also
grievously
troubled
with
the
incursions
of
the
Arabians
.
The
Orchard
also
is
destroyed
with
Locusts
,
and
the
ground
become
barren
.
In
this
Orchard
there
stands
a
little
Chappel
,
in
which
there
is
a
Cave
where
S.
Onuphrius
the
Anchorist
lived
.
At
the
foot
of
Mount
Sinai
,
upon
the
North
,
standeth
the
Monastery
of
St.
Katharine
,
of
which
the
Emperour
Iustinian
was
the
first
Founder
:
it
is
compassed
about
with
a
Wall
;
close
by
it
standeth
a
goodly
Orchard
,
furnished
with
divers
Trees
of
Fruit
,
pleasant
and
delightful
;
in
that
there
standeth
a
goodly
Fountain
,
which
watereth
all
about
it
.
In
this
place
there
are
a
great
number
of
poor
Monks
,
which
get
their
Living
by
their
hands
,
in
the
Desart
thereabouts
.
They
say
that
here
stood
the
golden
Calf
,
spoken
of
Exodus
32.
And
they
shew
a
round
stone
lying
there
,
where
they
say
Moses
broke
the
two
Tables
that
were
given
him
by
God
.
To
Pilgrims
also
they
shew
the
Tomb
of
St.
Katharine
,
standing
upon
the
right
side
of
the
Quire
,
with
certain
other
Relicks
of
hers
.
Upon
the
left
side
of
the
Quire
,
there
stands
a
little
door
by
which
you
enter
into
a
place
called
the
Chappel
of
St.
Mary
of
the
Bush
,
where
they
shew
the
place
of
the
Bush
in
which
God
appeared
unto
Moses
:
And
,
to
give
grace
to
their
Superstitions
,
there
may
none
enter
into
that
place
but
he
must
put
off
his
hose
and
shoes
.
There
is
another
place
,
where
,
they
say
,
God
commanded
Moses
to
bring
up
Aaron
,
Nadab
,
and
Abihu
with
him
,
and
the
seventy
Elders
;
with
many
other
Superstitious
Chappels
,
which
would
be
too
tedious
and
frivolous
to
recite
.
Not
far
from
this
,
there
standeth
also
a
Mosko
of
the
Saracens
,
full
as
fair
and
spacious
as
that
of
St.
Katharines
,
to
which
there
is
adjoyned
a
certain
Turret
;
hither
the
Arabians
and
Saracens
do
also
often
come
to
visit
St.
Katharine
.
At
the
Ascent
of
the
Mount
Horeb
,
near
to
the
Monastery
of
St.
Katharine
,
there
standeth
a
Fountain
of
very
clear
Water
,
in
the
likeness
of
a
Bow
,
made
of
Stone
,
reaching
from
the
one
side
of
it
to
the
other
;
and
standeth
like
unto
an
Arch
or
Gate
.
A
little
above
that
,
at
the
foot
of
Mount
Horeb
,
is
to
be
seen
the
Cave
where
Eliah
rested
when
the
Lord
spake
unto
him
,
1
Reg.
19.
Something
above
that
,
is
the
Cliff
of
the
Rock
where
Moses
stood
by
Gods
appointment
,
when
he
past
by
,
and
he
saw
his
back
parts
,
Ex.
33.
A
little
beyond
that
,
is
the
top
of
Mount
Horeb
,
where
is
built
a
little
Chappel
that
hath
an
Iron
Door
,
the
Keys
of
which
are
in
the
Monks
Custody
of
the
Abby
of
Saint
Katherine
.
In
this
place
they
say
Moses
received
the
two
Tables
of
Stone
;
wherein
the
ten
Commandments
were
written
by
the
Finger
of
God
.
Ex.
34.
There
is
none
that
enters
into
this
Chappel
but
with
great
Reverence
,
bare-foot
and
bare-legged
,
and
casting
themselves
upon
the
Earth
,
kiss
it
.
About
fifteen
paces
from
this
,
they
shew
the
Cave
wherein
Moses
fasted
forty
days
and
forty
nights
,
Ex.
24.
34.
A
little
above
that
there
is
a
Mosk
,
to
which
there
daily
resorts
Arabians
and
Saracens
,
in
honour
of
Moses
,
whom
they
reverence
as
a
Prophet
.
Between
these
there
lieth
a
Well
of
cold
wholsom
Water
,
which
is
called
Moses
Well
.
Here
seemeth
in
times
past
to
have
been
some
Monastery
;
for
there
are
divers
Ruins
of
Walks
and
Buildings
to
be
seen
.
This
Mountain
is
round
,
and
difficult
to
Ascend
:
it
is
7000
steps
to
the
top
,
and
from
thence
the
Red
Sea
and
the
Arm
thereof
(
where
Pharaoh
was
drowned
when
he
followed
the
Children
of
Israel
)
may
easily
be
discerned
.
Mount
Sina
is
much
higher
than
this
,
and
lyeth
two
days
Journey
from
the
Red
Sea
:
Upon
the
top
whereof
are
many
Rocks
and
great
Stones
.
From
thence
you
may
see
sundry
places
,
as
,
a
Mountain
lying
in
Thebaidaes
,
the
great
Haven
of
the
Red
Sea
,
the
Desart
of
Elim
and
Sur
,
with
many
others
.
The
Desarts
round
about
take
the
name
from
the
height
thereof
;
and
are
called
the
Desarts
of
Sina
.
Of
the
Graves
of
Concu●iscence
.
THese
Graves
are
112
miles
towards
the
South
from
Ierusalem
,
where
the
Children
of
Israel
,
lusting
after
Meat
,
were
fed
by
the
Lord
with
Quails
;
and
for
their
disobedience
died
miserably
.
It
was
also
called
●abara●
,
which
signifies
an
inflammation
,
being
derived
from
Baar
,
to
Burn
,
because
here
the
Wrath
of
the
Lord
was
kindled
against
them
,
and
he
struck
the
uttermost
parts
of
their
Tents
with
Fire
from
Heaven
,
and
consumed
them
,
Numb.

Of
Hazeroth
.
THis
is
a
place
in
the
Desart
,
some
32
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
South
,
the
name
thereof
being
derived
from
Chazer
,
which
signifieth
a
Cave
,
about
the
Mouth
whereof
there
groweth
long
Grass
;
And
therefore
from
hence
Chazer
is
also
taken
for
Grass
.
Here
Miriam
the
Sister
of
Moses
and
Aaron
was
strook
with
Leprosie

112
miles
toward
the
South-eas●
.
Here
the
Children
of
Israel
pitched
their
Tents
,
Num.
33.
and
here
it
is
very
likely
the
Angel
of
the
Lord
appeared
to
the
Prophet
Eliah
,
and
brought
him
meat
and
drink
.
Of
Rimmon
Parez

,
being
an

.
Here
,
it
is
thought
,
the
Children
of
Israel
found
great
store
of
Pomegranates
,
whereof
division
was
made
amongst
them
.
For
Rimmon
is
as
much
as
a
grained
Apple
,
or
a
Pomegranate
;
and
Parez
,
He
hath
divided
.

of
Flowers
and
Herbs
that
grow
there

sweet
dews

of
God
travel
through
the
Wilderness
of
this
wicked
world

;
the
name
of
the
place
being
so
called
,
partly
of
their
Tents
,
partly
of
the
roundness
of
the
mountains
.
Of

.
HArada
was
full
of
wild
Beasts

the
Israelites
had
a
breathing
time
;
for
now
growing
near
to
the
Borders
of
the
Land
of
Canaan
,
after
so
many
Journeys
,
they
began
to
rest
themselves
,

from

who
brought
of

but
all
of

discouraged
the

wherefore
they
murmured
,
and
the
Lord
was
angry
,
and
would
not
suffer
them
to
enter
into
the
Land
of
Promise
:
So
turning
their
Journey
,
they
went
to
Ezeongaber

148

so
that
they
travelled
in
the
Desart
forty

it

THERE
are
many
which
think
that
this
Prophet
Balaam
was
of
the
Posterity
of
Nahor
the
Brother
of
Abraham
,
and
an
Inhabitant
o●

,

Iose●hus
saith
,
he
dwelt
near
to

:
and
St.

,
in
a
City
called
Phatura
,
of
which
there
is
mention
,
Num.
22.
and
signifies
an
obscure
Prophet
,
or
Oracle
which
interpreteth
.
For
Pathar
with
the
Hebrews
,
is
the
same
that
,
He
hath
interpreted
,
is
with
us
.
Wherefore
this
Prophet
travelled
from
Pithora
or
Phatura
in
Meso●otamia
,
to
Abel
,
or
the
Plain
of
Vines
,
where
his
Ass
spake
,
Num.
22.
which
is
400
miles

From
thence
he
went
to
the
Land

Moabites
,
40
miles
,
where
,
in
the
Mount
of
Peor
,
he
blessed
the
Children
of
Israel
.
So
all
the
Travels
of
this
Prophet
were
440
miles
.
Of
the
Plain
of
the
Vines
.
THere
is
often
mention
of
this
place
in
the
Scripture
;
and
for
the
fertility

Countrey
,
and
plenty
of
sweet
Wines
,
there
was
a
beautiful
City
built
,
called
Abel
,
of
the
Vines
,
some
56
miles
from
Ierusalem
,
South-Eastward
,
and
was
placed
just
in
the
way
as
they
went
from
Mesopotamia
into
the
Countrey
of
the
Moabites
.
Whereby
it
appeareth
,
that
near
to
this
place
the
Ass
spake
to
Balaam
,
Numb
.
22.
In
St.
Ierom's
time
there
was
found
a
little
Village

called
,

there
was

bear
upon

From

they
returned
again
to
Kades-Barnea
,
twenty
miles
.
There
all
the
People
murmured
against
Moses
,
Num.
14.
Hereby
it
is
to
be
seen
,
that
the
Spies
,
in
forty
dayes
,
travelled
648
miles
in
the
Land
of

,
that

is
ninety

It

called

signifieth
swift

because
it

THIS
was
a
Town
in
the
upper
Galilee
,
belonging
to
the
Tribe
of
Nepthali
:
it
was
the
chief
Hold
and
City
of
the
King
of
the
Canaanites
,
being
distant
from
Ierusalem
eighty
miles
towards
the
North.
This
Ioshuah
destroyed

Deborah
also
the
Prophetess
,
besieged
it
,
took
it
,
and
put
Iabin
the
King
thereof
to
Death

In

it

Here
the

continued
from
the
time
that

entred

Eli

fetch'd
it

;
in

it
was
taken

he
for

therefore
fell

The
Inhabitants
hereabouts
shew
the
Ruines
of
a
certain
Sepulchre
standing
upon
the
top
of
this
Mount
,
where
they
say
Samuel
was
buried
:
but
that
cannot
be
true
,
for
he
was
buried
at
Ramath
,
which
now
is
called
Arimathea
.
Therefore
it
seems
to
be
either
the
Ruines
of
Eli's
Sepulchre
,
who
died
miserably
in
that
place
;
or
else
of
the
House
of
the

,
which
many
years

stood
there
.

at
last
was
betrayed
by
the
Inhabitants
of
this
Town
.
It
seemeth
that
the
Town
and
Wilderness
took
that
Name
of
the
abundance
of
Pitch
that
was
found
in
it
;
for
Zaephaeth
in
Hebrew
signifieth
Pitch
.
Of
Gilboa
.
THIS
was
a
Mountain
in
the
Tribe
of
Manasseh
,
near
to
Sichem
and
Apheck
,
forty
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
North
;
it
extendeth
eight
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
up
of
Water
;
for
the
River
Kison
begins
at
the
foot
of
this
Mountain
,
and
divides
it self
into
divers
parts
until
it
cometh
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
Mediterranean
Sea
.
There
be
some
that
are
of
Opinion
,
that
neither
Rain
nor
Dew
falls
upon
this
Hill
,
because
when
Saul
was
slain
David
cursed
these
Mountains
,
saying
,
Let
neither
Rain
nor
Dew
fall
upon
you
,
O
ye
Mountains
of
Gilboa
,
because
the
strong
men
of
Israel
were
slain
there
,
2
Sam.
1.
But
this
was
but
a
figurative
Speech
,
whereby
David
would
express
the
greatness
of
his
Sorrow
;
for
Borchardus
,
the
Monk
,
speaking
of
this
Mountain
,
saith
,
That
as
he
was
ascending
upon
it
,
there
was
such
a
violent
shower
fell
,
that
he
was
wet
through
his
Cloaths
,
and
the
Waters
in
great
abundance
ran
into
the
Vallies
.
And
in
the
Year
of
our
Lord
1283
,
sleeping
upon
this
Hill
on
the
Eve
of
All
Saints
,
there
was
a
great
dew
fell
upon
his
Cloaths
;
only
some
parts
of
it
were
very
stony
and
barren
,
as
are
many
other
Mountains
in
that
Country
.
Of
Endor
.
THIS
was
a
Town
in
the
Tribe
of
Manasses
,
near
the
River
Kison
,
Ios.
17.
where
Saul
asked
Counsel
of
a
Witch
,
1
Sam.
28.
It
seems
to
take
the
name
from
a
Fountain
of
Durance
;
for
D●r
signifies
,
He
hath
made
sure
.
It
is
distant
from
Ierusalem
forty
four
miles
toward
the
North.
In
S.
Ierom's
time
this
was
but
a
small
Village
.
Of
Bethsan
.
THIS
was
a
City
in
the
Tribe
of
M●nasses
,
between
Beth●lia
and
the
Sea
of
G●lilee
,
some
forty
four
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
North
,
Io●
.
17.
It
taketh
the
name
from
a
Church-yard
,
or
a
place
of
Rest
:
for
B●th
signifieth
a
House
,
and
Iaschan
,
he
hath
slept
.
Here
Saul
killed
himself
,
and
the
Phili●●ines
cut
off
his
Head
and
set
it
upon
the
Wall
of
this
City
.
Afterward
,
about
St.
Ierom's
time
,
Ptolomy
called
this
Scytho●oli●
.
You
may
read
in
the
Second
Book
of
the
Macchabees
,
how
it
was
the
Town
of
the
S●●thians
;
for
the
Scythians
which
dwelt
some
800
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
North
,
came
with
a
great
Army
into
the
Holy
Land
,
and
by
force
won
this
City
,
and
dwelt
there
;
of
whom
it
was
called
the
Scythian
Town
.

remembreth
a
strange
Accident
that
hapned
near
this
Town
;
for
the
Iews
besieging
it
,
there
were
of
their
own
Nation
that
dwelt
within
the
City
,
who
(
that
they
might
make
a
private
Gain
)
took
wages
of
the
Scythians
to
oppose
their
Brethren
and
Country-men
:
by
which
means
,
the
Scythians
got
the
better
.
But
after
a
while
,
the
Scythians
considering
that
the
number
of
the
Iews
was
great
,
and
fearing
some
sudden
Insurrection
or
Innovation
,
gave
them
warning
to
depart
and
leave
the
Town
:
they
,
though
with
great
Grief
,
as
being
prest
with
a
two-fold
necessity
,
(
their
own
Wants
and
the
hatred
of
their
Kindred
)
did
so
,
relying
merely
upon
the
Courtesie
of
Strangers
.
But
,
about
some
two
days
after
,
in
the
night
time
,
the
Inhabitants
of
Scythopolis
breaking
out
of
the
City
unawares
,
fell
upon
them
,
and
in
recompence
of
their
Kindness
,
put
to
the
Sword
some
thirteen
thousand
:
many
slain
unawares
,
some
as
they
were
eating
,
and
most
in
their
Sleep
.
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
alive
.
Wherefore
,
one
Simon
the
Son
of
a
certain
ancient
and
noble
Citizen
,
called
Saul
,
perceiving
their
present
Misery
,
and
that
there
was
no
hope
to
escape
imminent
D●ath
and
utter
Ruine
,
in
a
cruel
and
desperate
manner
breaks
out
into
these
Words
:
O
miserable
Wretch
that
I
am
,
that
against
my
own
Conscience
have
lift
up
these
Impious
Hands
against
my
Country
,
committing
daily
Massacres
to
pleasure
them
,
who
at
this
day
lay
violent
hands
upon
all
we
have
;
die
therefore
,
thou
that
art
thus
prophane
,
and
with
thine
own
hands
make
an
end
of
thy
wretched
Life
,
since
thou
dost
not
deserve
to
die
honourably
in
the
face
of
the
Enemy
,
but
wretchedly
in
a
corner
,
and
for
thine
own
offence
.
So
soon
as
he
had
ended
these
words
,
he
turned
him
about
with
a
fierce
countenance
,
and
falling
upon
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
himself
upon
his
own
Weapon
.
These
things
happened
but
a
little
before
Vespasian
came
into
the
Land
of
Iudaea
.
At
this
day
this
City
Scytho●olis
is
called
after
the
ancient
name
Bethsan
.
The
typical
representation
of
Saul
.
SAVL
,
if
it
be
properly
taken
,
doth
sometime
signifie
a
Grave
or
Sepulchre
,
and
sometimes
Hell
;
being
derived
from
Scheuol
,
which
may
be
taken
for
both
.
As
therefore
Saul
persecuted
innocent
David
with
an
inveterate
malice
,
even
unto
the
death
;
so
the
Sons
of
Sathan
(
evil
and
wicked
men
)
persecute
Christ
and
his
Members
,
with
an
immoveable
malice
,
sparing
neither
Prophets
nor
Apostles
,
neither
such
as
are
Religious
,
no
nor
Christ
himself
;
but
with
cruel
torments
put
them
to
lingring
deaths
,
till
they
be
utterly
extirpate
(
as
they
think
:
)
and
then
wanting
objects
to
satisfie
their
Savage
minds
,
they
follow
their
own
devillish
councels
,
till
with
Saul
they
come
to
desperate
ends

The
Philistines
Travels
from

THE
Philistines
incamped
themselves
at
Michmas
,
upon
Mount
Ephraim
,
some
ten
miles
from
Ierusalem
Northward
:
and
out
of
the
Philistines
Camp
there
issued
three
Armies
to
spoil
the
Countrey
.
The
one
marched
towards
Ophra
,
and
went
from
Michmas
to
Salem
,
twenty
eight
miles
.
From
thence
they
went
to
Ophra
,
four
miles
.
The
second
went
from
Michmas
to
Bethoron
,
eight
miles
.
The
third
went
from
Michmas
to
the
Valley
of
Zeboim
,
eight
miles
.
So
all
the
Travels
of
the
Philistines
were
fifty
eight
miles
.
Of
Zeboim
.
THis
Valley
is
not

he
drave
the
Philistines
out

13.
From
thence
he
went
back
again
,
two
miles
.
From
thence
he
went
to
Michmas
,
which
is
eight
miles
,

there
,
by
the
help
of

,
he
gave
the
Philistines
a
great
overthrow
,
1.

14.
From
thence
he
followed
the
Enemy
to
Ajalon
,
which
is
twelve
miles
;
there
his

would
have
put
him
to

From
Ajalon
,
Saul
and
his
Son
Ionathan
returned
to
Gibeah

his
own
City
,
which
was
two
miles
.
From
Gibeah
he
went
with
his
Father
to
Socho
and
Asekah
,
which
was
eight
miles
;
where
,
after
David
had
slain
Goliah
(
for
that
singular
Virtue
and
Heroical
Spirit
which
Ionathan
saw
in
him
)
he
loved
him
as
he
did
his
own
Soul
,
and
preferred
him
before
his
own
Life
and
Honour
,
1
Sam.
18.
From
thence
he
went
with
his
Father
to
Gibeah
,
some
eight
miles
,
where
Women
with
great
mirth
and
joy
met
him
,
saying
,
Saul
hath
slain
his
thousand
,
and
David
his
ten
thousand
:
for
which
cause
Saul
,
out
of
meer
envy
,
(
for
then
he
did
not
know
that
he
had
been
anointed
by
Samuel
)
would
have
slain
him
,
and
his
Son
Ionathan
also
for
excusing
him
,
1
Sam.
18
,
19.
From
Gibeah
Ionathan
went
into
the
Desart
of
Ziph
,
some
22
miles
,
to
comfort
David
:
there
they
swore
a
solemn
Oath

continue
as
long

23.
From
thence
Ionathan
returned
,
which

At
last
he
went

,
forty

there
he
,
his
Father
,
his

the

The
Travels
of
King
David
.
DAVID
was
anointed
King
by
Samuel
,
when
he
was
twenty
years
old
,
Anno
Mundi
2881
,
and
before
Christ
,
1807.
Within
a
while
after
,
he
was
sent
by
his
Father
Isay
,
or
Iesse
,
to
Gibeah
of
Saul
,
which
was
eight
miles
;
there
he
played
to
Saul
upon
the
Harp
,
1
Sam.
16.
When
Saul
went
out
with
his
Army
against
the
Philistines
,
David
returned
back
to
Bethlehem
,
his
own
Countrey
,
which
was
about
eight
miles
.
There
he
fed
his
Father's
sheep
,
1
Sam.
17.
From
thence
he
went
to
Socho
and
Asekah
,
and
killed
Goliah
,
which
was
four
miles
.
From
thence
he
carried
the
Head
of
Goliah
to
Ierusalem
,
which
was
eight
miles
.
From
thence
he
went
with
King
Saul
to
Gibeah
,
which
was
four
miles
.
From
Gibeah
he
went
twelve
miles
into
the
Land
of
the
Philistines
,
and
to
perform
the
promise
which
he
had
made
,
put
to
the
Sword
200
of
them
.
From
thence
he
returned
,
and
brought
their
fore-skins
unto
Saul
;
in
recompence
of
which
noble
Exploit
,
he
was
married
to
Saul's
Daughter
:
which
was
twelve
miles
.
A
while
after
,
he
made
an
incursion
upon
the
Land
of
the
Philistines
,
and
in
a
sharp
and
cruel
War
got
a
famous
Victory
,
and
returned
with
glory
to
Gibeah
,
which
was
at
the
lest
twenty
four
miles
.
But
when
David
perceived
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
haste
and
went
from
Gibeah
to
Arimathea
,
where
he
complained
unto
Samuel
of
the
Injuries
of
Saul
,
and
laid
before
him
in
what
a
miserable
condition
he
was
,
and
to
what
straights
brought
.
Wherefore
Samuel
,
to
comfort
him
,
brought
him
to
Naioth
;
which
seemeth
to
be
so
called
,
of
the
fair
scituation
and
pleasantness
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
Divinity
.
Now
Saul
hearing
that
David
was
in
this
place
,
came
with
some
of
his
Servants
on
purpose
to
make
him
captive
.
But
at
the
sight
of
Samuel
he
began
to
sing
Psalmes
and
Hymns
after
the
manner
of
the
Prophets
.
From
thence
David
returned
back
unto
Gibeah
,
some
twelve
miles
,
where
,
at
the
Stone
of
Ezel
(
not
far
from
Gibeah
,
toward
the
South
)
Ionathan
went
to
David
,
and
counselled
him
to
depart
with
all
speed
,
for
that
his
Father
meant
evil
towards
him
.
So
they
took
leave
either
of
other
with
Tears
,
1
Sam.
20.
Ezel
signifies
an
Angle
,
as
was
a
Stone
full
of
Angles
or
corners
.
From
thence
he
went
to
Nob
,
which
was
twelve
miles
.
From
thence
he
went
to
Gath
,
a
City
of
the
Philistines
,
where
he
●eigned
himself
mad
,
because
of
Achis
whom
he
feared
,
1
Sam.
21.
being
twenty
four
miles
.
From
thence
he
went
to
the
Cave
of
Odullam
,
twenty
four
miles
,
and
thither
resorted
unto
him
many
of
his
Kindred
,
and
such
as
were
indebted
and
in
danger
,
to
the
number
of
forty
Persons
.
In
this
place
he
wrote
the
57
and
142
Psalms
,
as
may
appear
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
counsel
of
the
Prophet
Gad
,
he
returned
by
the
Wilderness
of
Hareth
to
Kegila
,
and
rescued
it
;
forty
miles
.
Here
Abiathar
the
Priest
came
to
him
,
1
Sam.
23.
From
thence
,
fearing
the
coming
of
Saul
,
he
went
into
the
Wilderness
of
Ziph
,
whither
Ionathan
came
to
him
,
1
Sam.
22.
which
was
four
miles
.
From
thence
he
went
to
the
Town
of
Moan
;
four
miles
.
From
thence
he
went
to
the
Hold
of
Engedi
,
thirty
six
miles
.
From
thence
he
went
six
miles
to
Carmel
in
Iudaea
,
where
he
determined
to
have
destroyed
Nabal
for
his
churlishness
,
1
Sam.
25.
From
thence
he
went
to
Hackilah
,
two
miles
.
From
Hackilah
he
went
to
Gath
,
where
Achis
King
of
the
Philistines
kept
his
Court
,
sixteen
miles
.
This
Achis
was
very
courteous
,
and
bountiful-minded
;
he
entertained
David
,
and
gave
him
freely
the
City
of
Zicklag
to
inhabit
in
,
1
Sam.
27.
Wherefore
David
went
thence
to
the
Town
of
Ziclag
,
which
was
twelve
miles
,
1
Sam.
27.
and
there
inhabited
one
year
and
seven
months
.
From
thence
David
went
often
towards
the
South
,
and
made
incursions
upon
the
Amalekites
,
wasting
and
destroying
their
Land
which
lay
in
the
Desart
of
Sur
,
about
eighty
miles
distant
from
Ziclag
,
and
a
hundred
and
twenty
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
South-west
.
From
the
Desart
of
Sur
he
returned
back
again
unto
Ziclag
,
which
was
eighty
miles
,
and
sent
part
of
the
Prey
which
he
had
gotten
to
the
King
of
the
Philistines
;
Of
which
you
may
read
more
,
1
Sam.
27.
From
Ziclag
David
went
with
the
Army
of
the
Philistines
to
fight
against
Saul
,
eighty
eight
miles
,
even
to
Sunem
:
for
the
Philistines
pitched
between
Iesreel
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
,
he
returned
back
to
Zicklag
,
eighty
eight
miles
,
1
Sam.
29.
Whilst
David
was
gone
with
the
Philistines
to
fight
against
Israel
,
the
Amalekites
invaded
Ziclag
,
took
it
,
and
burnt
it
with
fire
,
and
carried
away
Ahinoam
and
David's
Wives
)
Captives
.
Wherefore
,
when
David
came
to
Ziclag
,
and
perceived
what
had
happened
,
with
all
speed
he
pursued
the
Enemy
;
and
in
the
way
as
he
went
he
found
an
Egyptian
,
who
,
a
little
before
,
the
Amalekites
had
left
there
,
because
he
was
unable
to
follow
them
.
This
Egyptian
guided
David
to
the
Tents
of
the
Amalekites
,
who
,
suspecting
no
such
evil
,
were
making
merry
with
the
Booty
that
they
had
taken
.
But
David
with
the
rest
of
his
Company
so
manfully
behaved
themselves
,
they
gave
the
Amalekites
a
sudden
overthrow
:
and
,
as
it
often
happeneth
to
such
as
are
negligent
and
careless
,
he
took
away
from
them
their
former
Booty
,
and
put
most
of
them
to
the
Sword
.
This
Battel
was
fought
some
eight
or
twelve
miles
from
Zicklag
,
as
by
the
circumstance
of
the
History
may
appear
.
From
this
slaughter
he
returned
back
to
Ziclag
,
being
twelve
miles
,
and
repaired
it
;
to
every
neighbouring
City
sending
a
part
of
the
prey
.
Here
he
had
certain
intelligence
of
the
Success
of
the
Israelites
in
their
Wars
against
the
Philistines
,
and
of
the
death
of
Saul
and
Ionathan
,
which
he
bitterly
lamented
,
1
Sam.

These
things
happened
in
the
tenth
year
after
Samuel
had
anointed
David
King
.
From
Ziclag
he
went
to
Hebron
,
a
Metropolitan
City
of
the
Tribe
of
Iudah
,
being
a
Town
of
Refuge
belonging
to
the
Levites
,
which
was
sixteen
miles
.
At
this
time
David
was
about
the
age
of
thirty
years
,
and
was
anointed
King
by
the
Tribe
of
Iudah
,
in
the
year
of
the
World
2891
,
and
before
Christ
1077.
Here
he
kept
his
Court
seven
years
and
six
months
.
From
hence
also
he
sent
Messengers
to
Iabes
in
Gilead
,
forty
four
miles
,
to
signifie
his
gracious
acceptance
of
that
favour
which
they
shewed
unto
Saul
,
in
burying
of
his
Body
there
,
2
Sam.

1
Chr.
12.
From
Hebron
David
went
to
Ierusalem
,
twenty
two
miles
,
which
then
was
called
Iebus
,
being
possessed
of
the
Iebusites
;
but
he
won
it
with
strong
hand
,
and
thrust
them
out
of
it
;
and
in
Mount
Sion
set
up
the
City
Millo
,
which
was
afterward
called
the
City
of
David
,
and
signifies
a
place
of
Plenty
.
He
began
his
Reign
in
Ierusalem
in
the
thirty
eighth
year
of
his
Age
,
and
seventh
of
his
Reign
.
In
this
place
also
he
set
up
his
House
made
of
Cedar-wood
,
of
which
,
H●ram
,
King
of
Tyrus
,
sent
him
great
Plenty
from
Mount
Libanus
,
distant
from
thence
,
104
miles
,
2
Sam.
5.
1
Ch.
12.
From
thence
he
went
to
the
Valley
of
Rephaim
,
some
three
miles
from
Ierusalem
,
in
the
way
that
leadeth
to
the
City
of
Bethlem
,
where
he
fought
a
memorable
Fight
against
the
Philistines
,
and
overcame
them
;
for
which
cause
,
it
was
also
called
Baal-Perizim
,
because
,
by
the
Help
and
Assistance
of
God
,
he
had
conquered
the
Army
of
the
Philistines
,
1
Sam.
5.
After
he
had
dispersed
the
Enemies
,
he
returned
to
Ierusalem
,
which
is
●our
miles
.
The
Philistines
came
the
same
Year
into
the
Valley
of
Rephaim
again
,
and
pitched
their
Tents
within
three
miles
and
a
half
of
Ierusalem
:
and
the
Lord
gave
David
a
sign
,
that
when
he
heard
a
noise
in
the
Mulberry-trees
he
should
set
upon
the
Enemy
;
so
David
went
forth
,
and
close
by
the
Town
of
Gaeba
and
Kirjath-jearim
,
about
two
miles
from
Ierusalem
West-ward
,
he
set
upon
the
Enemy
,
and
gave
them
the
second
Overthrow
,
2
Samuel
5.
1
Chr.
15.
From
thence
David
followed
the
Enemy
to
Gaza
,
which
was
eighteen
miles
,
2
Sam.
5.
in
the
tenth
Year
of
his
Reign
from
his
first
beginning
in
Hebron
.
David
assembled
all
the
Princes
,
Priests
,
and
chief
men
of
Israel
,
to
the
number
of
30000
,
which
inhabited
from
Sechor
till
you
come
to
Chaemah
,
a
City
of
Naphtali
,
at
the
foot
of
Mount
Libanus
,
even
163
miles
off
.
These
men
assembled
themselves
in
the
City
of
Ierusalem
,
and
from
thence
,
they
with
David
,
went
to
Kirjath-jearim
,
which
was
about
a
mile
,
to
fetch
the
Ark
of
the
Covenant
from
thence
into
the
City
of
David
,
1
Sam.
6.
1
Chr.
14.
From
Kirjath-jearim
,
David
and
all
his
Train
returned
back
again
to
Ierusalem
,
which
was
about
a
mile
;
and
they
placed
the
Ark
of
the
Lord
in
a
new
Cart
,
and
caused
it
to
be
drawn
with
Oxen
,
which
turned
out
of
the
way
to
the
threshing-floor
of
Nachon
,
where
Vzza
rashly
and
inconsiderately
touching
the
Ark
of
God
,
contrary
to
the
Divine
Law
,
was
presently
slain
by
the
Lord
in
the
way
,
and
that
place
was
called
Paeri-Vza
,
that
is
,
The
Breach
of
Uza
:
for
he
was
not
of
the
Tribe
of
Aaron
,
to
whom
it
was
only
lawful
to
touch
the
Ark
,
and
therefore
the
Lord
struck
him
that
he
died
miserably
:
wherefore
David
being
terrified
by
this
example
of
God's
Severity
,
would
not
that
day
bring
the
Ark
of
the
Lord
into
Ierusalem
,
but
carried
it
to
the
House
of
a
certain
Noble-man
called
Obed
Aedom
a
Gittite
,
who
dwelt
not
far
from
Ierusalem
;
but
,
when
it
was
told
David
that
the
Lord
blessed
the
House
of
Obed
Aedom
,
and
all
his
Family
,
because
the
Ark
was
there
,
David
went
from
Ierusalem
with
a
great
multitude
of
People
,
to
the
House
of
Obed
Aedom
,
who
(
as
is
said
before
)
dwelt
not
far
from
Ierusalem
,
(
yet
there
are
some
that
say
he
was
an
excellent
Musician
in
Ierusalem
,
and
dwelt
in
Mount
Acra
,
that
is
in
the
lower
City
)
and
from
thence
David
fetch'd
the
Ark
of
the
Lord
into
the
upper
City
,
which
stood
upon
Mount
Sion
;
but
I
hold
the
other
Opinion
to
be
the
more
probable
.
When
the
Ark
was
carried
by
the
Priests
,
David
girt
himself
with
a
linnen
Ephod
,
(
which
kind
of
Garment
the
Priests
of
the
inferiour
Order
used
to
wear
)
and
danced
before
it
,
singing
Psalms
and
Hymns
to
the
praise
and
glory
of
God
,
and
with
great
State
brought
it
to
the
City
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
upper
City
,
which
was
also
called
the
City
of
David
.
This
hapned
in
the
tenth
year
of
his
Reign
;
at
which
time
,
Michal
,
Saul's
Daughter
,
despised
him
in
her
Heart
,
and
laughed
at
him
:
but
God
gave
her
a
due
Recompence
,
as
you
may
read
,
2
Sam.
6.
and
him
a
just
Reward
;
for
,
he
promised
by
the
Prophet
Nathan
,
That
of
his
Posterity
and
Blood
the
King
of
Kings
and
Saviour
of
the
World
should
be
born
.
In
the
Year
following
,
David
invaded
the
Land
of
the
Philistines
,
and
the
City
of
Gath
,
which
with
strong
hand
he
won
:
this
was
thirty
four
miles
from
Ierusalem
.
From
thence
he
returned
back
to
Ierusalem
,
34
miles
.
In
the
twelfth
Year
of
his
Reign
he
afflicted
the
Moabites
with
cruel
War
,
and
destroyed
two
of
their
Armies
with
the
Sword
,
and
the
rest
of
the
multitude
he
made
Tributary
;
which
was
24
miles
,
2
Sam.
8.
1
Chr.
9.
He
returned
thence
to
Ierusalem
with
great
Triumph
and
Joy
,
twenty
four
miles
.
In
the
thirteenth
year
of
his
Reign
,
Anno
Mundi
,
2903.
and
before
Christ
1065
,
he
made
an
Expedition
unto
Zoba
,
which
Iosephus
calleth
Sophenam
,
and
is
in
Armenia
,
near
to
Masia
or
Mount
Taurus
,
600
miles
from
Ierusalem
toward
the
North
;
of
which
you
may
read
before
.
David
in
this
place
won
a
memorable
Battel
against
Hadad
Ezer
the
King
thereof
,
near
to
the
River
Euphrates
:
he
took
700
Horse
and
20000
Foot
,
burnt
their
Chariots
,
took
100
Castles
,
conquered
all
the
Towns
and
Country
round
about
,
and
went
away
with
a
great
Booty
,
as
well
of
Gold
as
Silver
,
Brass
,
and
other
things
;
which
Brass
,
for
the
Excellency
thereof
,
was
like
unto
Gold
,
and
(
as
Iosephus
saith
)
afterwards
Solomon
made
the
Molten
Sea
of
it
.
When
Gadarezer
,
King
of
the
Syrians
,
(
he
that
built
that
famous
City
of
Damascus
)
heard
of
the
overthrow
of
Hadad-Ezer
,
he
sent
a
great
Army
to
his
Aid
;
which
King
David
,
near
to
the
River
Euphrates
,
smote
with
the
Sword
,
so
that
20000
of
them
were
slain
,
and
he
carryed
away
a
glorious
Victory
,
extending
his
Government
from
Ierusalem
,
600
miles
towards
the
North
,
that
is
,
into
Armenia
,
and
beyond
the
River
Euphrates
,
and
made
these
two
Nations
tributary
unto
him
,
2
Samuel
8.
1
Chr.
19.
After
David
had
won
these
two
memorable
Victories
near
Euphrates
,
he
went
thence
with
all
his
Army
towards
the
South
,
and
invaded
the
Land
of
Syria
;
in
which
Journey
,
Ioram
the
Son
of
Tohi
,
King
of
Antiochia
,
(
which
City
at
this
time
was
called
Hemath
)
met
David
with
Gifts
and
Presents
in
the
Name
of
his
Father
,
returning
him
many
Thanks
because
he
had
destroyed
the
common
Enemy
Hadad-Ezer
,
and
by
strong
hand
subdued
and
quelled
the
Fury
of
that
mighty
Tyrant
,
who
was
also
a
trouble
and
vexation
to
the
Kingdom
of
Antiochia
.
David
entertained
this
Message
kindly
,
and
thankfully
received
his
Gifts
,
(
which
was
of
Gold
,
Silver
,
and
fine
Brass
)
and
so
gave
Ioram
an
acceptable
Dispatch
,
and
from
thence
with
his
Army
went
to
Damascus
,
the
Metropolitan
City
of
Syria
,
where
,
in
the
Valley
of
Salt
,
he
got
a
great
Victory
,
in
which
18000
Syrians
were
slain
,
and
soon
after
,
the
City
of
Damascus
taken
;
in
which
,
David
placed
a
Garrison
,
and
compelled
them
to
pay
Tribute
,
2
Sam.
8.
This
was
distant
from
the
Kingdom
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
Towns
thereabouts
,
and
compelled
them
to
pay
Tribute
,
2
Sam.
8.
From
thence
he
returned
to
Ierusalem
,
which
was
sixty
miles
,
and
all
the
Booty
that
he
had
gotten
in
his
Journey
he
dedicated
unto
the
Lord
,
2
Sam.
8.
A
while
after
,
he
,
with
his
Army
,
made
an
Incursion
into
the
Land
of
Idumaea
,
and
compelled
the
Inhabitants
to
pay
Tribute
.
Moreover
,
he
destroyed
the
City
of
Midian
,
the
Metropolitan
of
that
Country
;
of
which
,
you
may
read
before
:
it
was
distant
from
Ierusalem
160
miles
towards
the
South
.
So
that
the
extent
of
David's
Kingdom
,
from
the
North
to
the
South
,
was
800
miles
,
even
from
the
Kingdom
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
powerful
Empire
,
1
Sam.

He
made
his
Expedition
into
Idumaea
about
the
fourteenth
year
of
his
Reign
.
From
Midian
in
Idumaea
,
he
returned
with
great
Glory
and
Praise
to
Ierusalem
,
which
was
160
miles
.
In
the
fourteenth
year
of
his
Reign
,
and
in
the
year
of
the
World
2904
,
and
before
Christ
1064
,
Nahas
,
King
of
the
Ammonites
,
died
,
and
Haron
his
Son
succeeded
him
:
this
Man
contemptuously
abused
the
Messengers
of
David
,
2
Sam.
10.
and
to
justifie
that
Injury
,
he
gathered
an
Army
out
of
Soba
,
Syria
,
and
Mesopotamia
,
even
a
mighty
Host
,
to
oppose
David
;
who
in
the
fifteenth
year
of
his
Government
met
him
with
his
Army
at
Helam
,
some
twenty
miles
from
Ierusalem
,
where
he
obtained
a
notable
Victory
,
and
destroyed
700
Chariots
,
and
40000
Horse
,
1
Chr.

David
after
this
,
with
great
applause
of
the
People
,
was
entertained
into
Ierusalem
,
which
was
20
miles
distant
;
where
,
being
puft
up
with
Prosperity
,
he
forgat
his
former
Piety
and
Sanctity
,
and
by
degrees
fell
into
unlawful
Actions
and
unjust
desires
:
whence
it
happened
,
that
soon
after
he
committed
Adultery
with
Bathseba
:
and
after
that
,
to
hide
his
Fault
,
caused
her
Husband
to
be
slain
.
This
was
kept
secret
,
till
the
Lord
,
by
Nathan
sharply
reprehends
him
,
lays
before
him
what
he
was
,
and
what
his
present
estate
is
,
from
whence
that
came
,
and
then
concludes
,
that
he
is
most
unthankful
,
careless
,
and
negligent
towards
God
and
Man
,
in
committing
those
Insolencies
;
neither
left
he
there
,
but
told
him
that
God
would
severely
punish
him
for
his
Offence
,
which
after
happened
as
you
may
read
,
1
Sa.

,

,

David
being
nipt
in
his
Conscience
with
this
sharp
reprehension
,
fell
into
great
Lamentation
,
the
extremity
of
whose
Passions
may
very
well
appear
in
the
Penitential
Psalms
,
which
at
this
time
and
soon
after
he
wrote
,
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
sixty
four
miles
,
where
he
took
the
Metropolitan
City
,
(
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
,
he
called
it
after
his
own
name
,
Philadelphia
)
and
there
took
the
Crown
from
the
Head
of
the
King
of
the
Ammonites
,
which
weighed
a

How
much
this
was
,
you
may
read
hereafter

Talent
of
Gold
,
being
(
as
Iosephus
saith
)
richly
adorned
with
fair
Sardonick
Stones
;
of
which
you
may
read
,

Sam.

From
thence
he
returned
back
to
Ierusalem
,
which
is
sixty
four
miles
,
where
he
married
Bathseba
,
and
by
her
had
four
Sons
,
Simeon
,
Sobab
,
Nathan
and
Solomon
,
1
Chr.
3.
Soon
after
this
,
Amnon
defloured
his
Sister
Thamar
:
Not
long
after
that
,
his
Son
Absalom
killed
his
Brother
Amnon
,
being
then
about
eighteen
years
of
age
;
which
David
took
so
heinously
,
that
he
would
not
suffer
him
to
come
into
his
sight
for
three
years
,
2
Sam.
13.
Then
Ioab
,
by
the
subtilty
of
the
Woman
of
Tekoa
,
reconciled
him
to
the
King
his
Father
:
yet
nevertheless
,
he
came
not
to
his
Court
of
two
years
after
;
This
Absalom
was
a
goodly
man
,
affable
,
for
which
cause
,
even
at
that
time
,
the
People
began
to
affect
him
.
Afterward
,
in
the
year
of
the
World
2950
,
and
before
Christ
1408
,
Absalom
being
then
about
twenty
five
years
of
Age
,
moved
Sedition
against
his
Father
.
A
matter
remarkable
,
that
although
he
had
slain
his
own
Brother
,
being
disgraced
and
absent
from
the
Court
almost
five
years
,
yet
within
short
time
after
,
he
so
strongly
united
the
Affection
of
the
People
to
him
,
that
he
constrained
David
(
standing
in
fear
of
his
greatness
)
all
his
former
Acts
and
worthy
Victories
notwithstanding
)
to
forsake
his
own
City
,
and
for
safety
to
fly
to
the
Mount
of
Olives
,
being
three
quarters
of
a
mile
from
the
City
.
There
he
stayed
a
while
to
see
the
condition
of
the
Tumult
,
but
Necessity
constrained
him
to
take
his
way
to
Bahuzim
.
And
as
he
was
going
,
Zimri
the
Son
of
Gesa
of
the
house
of
Saul
,
cursed
him
,
every
mans
Enemy
then
making
himself
apparent
when
he
is
in
Adversity
,
and
his
best
friends
commonly
forsake
him
.
From
thence
he
went
to
Iordan
,
fourteen
miles
,
where
the
Priests
Ionathan
and
Ahinaaz
brought
him
certain
Intelligence
of
that
wicked
and
perverse
Counsel
of
Achitophel
,
a
man
in
those
times
famous
for
his
Wisdom
,
but
perfidious
in
his
Actions
,
as
commonly
such
are
that
hope
after
Honours
,
or
seek
to
benefit
themselves
by
Innovation
and
Change
.
After
he
had
Intelligence
hereof
,
he
went
over
Iordan
with
those
few
men
that
he
had
,
and
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
dry
ground
,
Ios.

and
here
Iohn
the
Baptist
taught
,
and
baptized
Christ
.
Mat.
1.
and
Luke
3.
From
thence
he
went
to
Makanaim
,
which
is
28
miles
,
where
he
sent
forth
his
Army
by
bands
against
Absalom
,
who
at
this
time
had
assembled
a
great
Host
near
the
Wood
Ephraim
,
not
far
from
that
place
where
Ioshua
won
a
memorable
Battel
against
the
Canaanites
;
and
that
the
place
might
be
made
more
famous
,
David's
men
,
though
few
in
number
,
gave
Absalom
and
his
Host
as
great
.
Thus
Absalom
being
left
in
danger
,
to
save
himself
,
fled
;
but
in
his
flight
the
Hair
of
his
Head
being
long
,
and
blown
with
the
Wind
,
took
hold
of
the
branch
of
a
Tree
,
by
which
,
he
hanged
between
Heaven
and
Earth
,
as
unworthy
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
unjust
a
Man
.
1
Sam.
18.
David
,
notwithstanding
,
took
the
Death
of
Absalom
marvellous
heavily
,
till
by
Ioab
he
was
recalled
from
that
Grief
;
and
then
in
the
Company
of
Barzillai
,
and
of
his
Son
Chimea
,
of
Mephiboseth
the
Son
of
Ionathan
,
and
Zeba
his
Servant
,
Shimei
also
that
before
curst
him
,
(
who
to
leave
a
memorable
Token
of
a
base
Sicophant
)
after
this
Victory
,
came
first
down
to
crave
Pardon
for
his
Offence
,
with
many
others
,
went
along
with
him
from
Makanaim
to
Bethabara
,
which
was
28
miles
.
To
this
place
there
came
a
great
Multitude
of
People
to
meet
David
,
2
Sam.
19.
This
Barzillai
was
one
of
the
eighteen
that
held
the
Principality
of
the
City
of
the
Giliadites
,
and
had
a
Son
called
Chimea
,
whom
David
took
with
him
to
Ierusalem
,
that
he
might
make
evident
his
Thankfulness
towards
him
for
that
Courtesie
which
he
had
received
of
his
Father
.
From
Bethabara
David
passed
Iordan
,
and
went
back
to
Gilgal
,
which
was
four
miles
,
2
Sam.
19.
From
thence
he
went
to
Ierusalem
,
being
twelve
miles
,
in
the
same
year
that
he
was
exiled
by
his
Son
,
which
was
about
the
thirteenth
year
of
his
reign
.
The
next
year
,
Saeba
the
Son
of
Bicri
,
taking
example
of
Absalom
,
and
observing
the
mutability
of
the
Peoples
Affections
,
moved
a
Sedition
against
David
,
but
Ioab
his
Captain
,
overcame
him
,
2
Sam.
20.
After
this
there
followed
three
years
of
Famine
.
About
the
end
of
the
third
year
of
Famine
,
and
in
the
thirty
fourth
year
of
his
Reign
,
David
went
to
Iabes
Gilead
,
which
was
fifty
two
miles
,
to
fetch
the
bones
of
Saul
and
Ionathan
,
to
bury
them
in
the
Sepulchre
of
his
Fathers
,
2
Sam.
21.
From
Iabes
in
Gilead
,
David
brought
the
Bones
and
Relicks
of
King
Saul
,
and
Ionathan
his
Son
,
to
Gibeah
of
Saul
,
which
was
52
miles
,
and
there
he
honourably
buried
them
in
the
Sepulchre
of
his
Father
Kish
,
2
Sam.
21.
From
thence
David
returned
to
Ierusalem
,
which
was
four
miles
.
In
the
thirty
fifth
year
of
his
Reign
,
he
went
forth
to
fight
against
the
Philistines
,
near
to
the
Levitical
Town
of
Nob
,
or
Nobe
,
which
is
twelve
miles
from
Ierusalem
,
upon
the
Borders
of
the
Countreys
of
the
Philistines
,
in
the
Tribe
of
Dan.
From
thence
he
returned
back
again
to
Ierusalem
,
twelve
miles
.
So
all
the
Travels
of
David
were
2904
miles
.

places
to
which
he
travelled

Of
Bethoron
.
THe
upper
and
the
lower
Bethoron
were
two
Cities
in
the
Tribe
of
Ephraim
,
built
by
Saaerah
the
Daughter
of
Ephraim
,

The
inferiour
Bethoron
was
not
far
from
the
Castle
of
Emmaus
,
eight
miles
from
Ierusalem
toward
the
North-West
.
The
Superiour
was
twenty
miles
distant
towards
the
North.
These
Towns
Solomon
repaired
.
Near
to
the
lower
Bethoron
the
Lord
put
the
Enemies
of
Ioshuah
to
flight
with
Thunder
and
Hail
,
Ios.

Here
also
Iudas

Of
Baaelath
.
THis
is
a
City
twelve
miles
from
Ierusalem
North-westward
,
in
the
Tribe
of
Dan.
This
City
Solomon
repaired
at
such
time
as
he
fell
in
Love
with
many
Women
:
from
whence
it
seemeth
to
take
his
name
:
for
Baaeleth

,
his
beloved
Lady

Of
Thamar

THamar

Tadmor
,
or
Palmira
,
stood
partly
in
the
Desart
of
Syria
,
and
partly
in
a
fruitful
Soyl
;
being
compassed
about
on
the
one
side
with
a
Wood
,
on
the
other
with
fair
and
pleasant
Fields
.
It
was
the
Metropolitan
City
of
all
Syria
,
not
far
from
Euphrates
,
some
388
miles
from
Ierusalem
North-Eastward
;
and
,
as

saith

although
it
lay
betwixt
two
mighty
Empires
,
Rome
and
Parthia
,
yet
it
was
subject
to
neither
;
fairly
scituated
,
a
Free
City
,
adorned
with
fair
and
sumptuous
Buildings
,
and
contented
with
their
own
Government

The
Typical
Signification
of
Solomon
.
SOl●mon
is
as
much
as
FREDERICK
in
High-Dutch
,
which
signifies
a
Peace-maker
;
being
derived
of
the
Hebrew
word
Schel●moh
,
or
Schalom
,
to
bring
glad
tidings
of
Peace
.
Typically
representing
Christ
the
Prince
of
Peace
,
who
hath
reconciled
us
with

Heavenly
Father

merited

place

And
as

majesty

so
Christ
hath
built
up
that
heavenly
Temple

of
God
,
and
adorned
it
with
the
Gifts

Graces

went
unto

was
accounted
from
the
Mart
Town
4800
miles
.
From
India
they
returned
back
again

4800
miles
:
so
all
their
Travels
were
9600
miles
.
This
Journey
was
finished
in
three
years
to
and
again
;
so
that
every

they
went
3200

a
metropolitan
City
in
Aethiopia
,
lying
beyond
Egypt
,
846
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
South
;
and
took
the
name
from
a
certain
precious
Stone
called
Achates
,
wherein
might
plainly
be
discerned
in
certain
distinct
Colours
,
the
rising
of
Fountains
,
the
Chanels
of
Rivers

high
Mountains

.
Afterwards
Cambyses
King
of
Persia
over-came
it
and
all
the
Country
round
about
it
,
and
after
his
Sisters
Name
called
it
Meroes
.
It
is
a
stately
City
to
this
day
,
scituated
in
a
plain
Country
,
and
compassed
about
with
the
River
Nilus
,
like
an
Island
,
being
now
called
Elsaba
,
having
some
affinity
to
the
ancient
Name
Saba
.
The
Inhabitants
of
this
Town
go
naked
,
all
but
their
privy
Parts
,
which
they
cover
either
with
Silk
,
Cotton
,
or
some
more
costly
matter
;
and
are
of
a
black
Colour
,
which
as
some
think
,
hapneth
by
reason
of
the
extream
Heat
.
The
Land
also
is
marvellously
scorched
,
and
turned
in
many
places
to
Sand
and
Dust
:
so
that
the
Country
is
thereby
wonderful
barren
.
About
Meroes
or
Saba
,
which
is
made
fruitful
by
the
Inundation
of
Nilus
,
there
is
●ound
plenty
of
Salt
,
Brass
,
Iron
,
and
some
precious
Stones
.
Their
Sheep
,
Goats
,
Oxen
,
and
other
Cattel
,
are
of
less
Stature
than
in
other
Countries
.
Their
Dogs
are
very
fierce
and
cruel
.
In
times
past
there
were
mighty
Princes
that
had
the
Government
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
Government
of
Queens
,
who
for
their
noble
Resolutions
and
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
baptized
,
Acts
8.
was
Treasurer
or
Chamberlain
to
this
Queen
:
and
it
is
to
be
thought
,
by
him
the
Doctrine
of
the
Gospel
of
Christ
was
first
made
known
in
Saba
,
and
in
the
Country
of
Aethiopia
;
which
afterwards
was
more
largely
propagated
and
dispersed
by
the
Evangelist
St.
Matthew
,
who
taught
there
.
This
City
lyeth
to
the
longitude
of
61
degrees
and
30
scruples
,
and
in
the
elevation
of
the
Pole
Artick
to
the
Latitude
sixteen
Degrees
and
twenty
five
Scruples
.
So
that
it
seems
,
the
Inhabitants
have
two
Winters
and
two
Summers
,
or
rather
a
continual
Summer
,
because
their
Winter
is
much
hotter
than
our
Summer
.
But
when
the
Sun
attaineth
to
the
fifteenth
Degree
of
Taurus
and
Leo
,
and
in
the
Dog-days
,
it
then
lyes
perpendicular
over
that
Country
,
and
neither
their
Bodies
nor
Houses
give
any
shadows
.
In
the
sixty
first
of
Esay
it
is
said
,
They
shall
come
from
Saba
,
and
bring
Gold
and
Frankincence
to
praise
the
Lord
.
From
whence
some
have
concluded
,
that
those
Wise
men
which
came
unto
the
Child
Jesus
,
and
brought
Gold
,
Frankincence
,
and
Myrrh
,
were
Aethiopians
,
and
came
thence
.
But
this
agreeth
not
well
with
the
words
of
Matthew
,
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
Saviours
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
Iudgment
against
this
Generation
,
and
condemn
it
,
for
she
came
from
the
end
of
the
World
to
hear
the
Wisdom
of
Solomon
,
&c.
But
if
Saba
lye
upon
the
South
,
as
here
it
plainly
appeareth
,
then
it
must
needs
follow
they
came
not
thence
,
but
rather
from
Persia
,
which
from
Ierusalem
lyes
Eastward
.
For
at
Susa
,
the
Metropolis
of
that
Country
,
there
was
an
Academy
for
the
whole
Kingdom
;
in
which
were
chiefly
studied
Divinity
,
the
Mathematicks
,
and
History
.
So
that
it
is
likely
,
by
their
Art
they
might
attain
to
the
knowledge
of
this
Divine
Mystery
,
and
from
thence
come
to
Ierusalem
,
which
was
520
miles
Eastward
.
Therefore
this
place
of
the
Prophet
Esay
is
rather
to
be
referred
to
the
propagation
of
the
Church
through
the
whole
World
,
where
some
of
every
Nation
shall
bring
Presents
unto
the
Lord
.
There
is
also
another
Saba
in
Arabia-Foelix
,
so
called
from
Zaeba
the
Son
of
Chus
,
the
Son
of
Cham
,
the
Son
of
Noah
;
and
it
is
distant
from
Ierusalem
1248
miles
towards
the
South-East
.
In
Hebrew
it
signifies
the
City
of
Drunkenness
,
or
of
Mirth
;
but
with
the
Syrians
,
Antiquity
.
Some
would
have
it
in
the
Arabian
Tongue
to
signifie
a
Mystery
.
But
St.
Ierom
interprets
it
,
to
sound
their
Conversion
.
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
fruitful
Trees
.
There
inhabiteth
in
it
the
King
of
that
Country
(
a
mighty
Prince
)
his
Governours
,
and
most
of
such
as
have
Authority
under
him
.
The
Land
is
called
the
Kingdom
of
the
Sabaeans
,
but
generally
Arabia-Foelix
,
because
of
the
Fertility
of
the
place
;
for
it
yieldeth
twice
every
year
great
plenty
of
Frankincence
,
Myrrh
,
Cinamon
,
Balsams
,
and
other
odoriferous
Herbs
.
The
Tree
out
of
which
this
Myrrh
cometh
,
is
five
Cubits
high
,
hairy
,
and
full
of
prickles
,
and
when
you
cut
the
Bark
,
there
cometh
forth
a
bitter
Gum
,
wherewith
if
you
anoint
a
dead
Body
,
it
will
continue
long
without
rotting
.
The
Frankincence
also
that
is
found
there
droppeth
from
the
Cedar-trees
,
like
a
glewy
substance
,
and
so
congealeth
into
a
Gum.
This
happeneth
twice
every
year
,
and
according
unto
the
season
it
changeth
colour
:
in
the
Spring
it
is
red
,
in
the
Summer
white
.
This
is
the
best
Frankincence
in
all
Arabia-Foelix
.
Through
the
whole
Country
there
is
a
very
delectable
smell
,
by
reason
of
the
Myrrh
,
Frankincence
and
Cinnamon
,
that
is
found
in
it
;
insomuch
,
that
if
the
Wind
blows
amongst
the
trees
,
it
carrieth
the
smell
unto
the
Red
Sea
,
and
they
that
sail
can
easily
discern
the
sweetness
of
the
Air.
There
is
Gold
also
found
there
,
very
fine
and
pure
,
insomuch
as
for
the
goodness
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
Neck
,
the
rest
are
of
a
Purple
colour
;
therefore
from
Phoenicia
and
the
purple
colour
of
her
Wings
she
is
called
Phoenix
.
She
hath
a
tuft
of
Feathers
upon
her
head
like
unto
a
Crown
.
She
liveth
660
years
;
at
the
end
of
which
time
she
buildeth
her
a
Nest
of
Cassia
,
Cinnamon
,
Calamus
,
and
other
precious
Gums
and
Herbs
,
which
the
Sun
,
by
the
extremity
of
the
heat
,
and
the
waving
of
her
wings
,
fires
;
and
she
taking
delight
in
the
sweetness
of
the
savour
,
hovers
so
long
over
it
,
that
she
burneth
her self
in
her
own
Nest.
Within
a
while
after
,
out
of
the
Marrow
of
her
Bones
,
and
the
Ashes
of
her
Body
,
there
groweth
a
Worm
,
which
by
little
and
little
increaseth
to
some
bigness
,
and
after
to
a
purple
bird
.
Then
her
wings
extend
themselves
to
a
full
greatness
,
till
such
time
as
she
cometh
to
a
perfect
Phoenix
.
This
bird
doth
lively
represent
our
Saviour
Christ
,
who
only
and
alone
is
the
true
Messiah
,
and
through
whom
we
must
expect
everlasting
life
,
who
in
the
fulness
of
time
offered
himself
a
Sacrifice
upon
the
Cross
,
sustaining
the
punishment
of
Sin
at
the
time
of
his
Passion
,
putting
on
a
purple
Robe
,
being
all
be
sprinkled
with
his
own
bloud
,
Ioh.
19.
And
as
the
Phoenix
is
burnt
in
her
own
Nest
,
so
likewise
was
he
consumed
in
the
fire
of
Gods
wrath
,
according
to
that
in
Psal.
22.
My
heart
is
become
like
melting
wax
in
the
midst
of
my
body
.
And
as
the
Phoenix
of
it self
begetteth
another
of
the
same
kind
;
so
Christ
by
the
power
of
his
Deity
raised
up
his
Body
from
the
dust
of
the
Earth
,
and
ascended
up
into
Heaven
a
glorious
Body
,
to
sit
at
the
right
hand
of
his
Father
in
that
everlasting
Kingdom
of
Glory
.
Thus
(
gentle
Reader
)
I
thought
fit
to
describe
unto
you
these
two
Towns
,
that
when
you
shall
read
of
them
in
the
holy
Scripture
(
the
one
being
in
Aethiopia
towards
the
South
,
the
other
in
Arabia-Foelix
,
and
called
Seba
)
you
might
discern
the
one
from
the
other
:
of
both
which
there
is
mention
in
the
72
Psalm
,
The
Kings
of
the
Seas
and
of
the
Isles
,
shall
bring
presents
;
the
Kings
of
Saba
and
Seba
,
shall
give
Gifts

,
even
unto
the
Tribe

there
took

,
a
City
of
the
Levites
,

it

After
he
came
to

And

City
which

had
thus
destroyed
he
gave
to
his
Daughter
,

Wife
of

,

From
thence
he
returned
to
Memphis
in

miles
.
So

of

Pharaoh
were

Of
Memphis
.
MEmphis
is
a
great
City
in
Aegypt
,
where
commonly
the
Kings
of
that
Countrey
keep
their
Courts
;
and
lyeth
from
Ierusalem
244
miles
So●●h-west-ward
.
This
City
was
built
a
little
before
the
Flood
,
but
repaired
and
enlarged
by
a
King
called
Ogdoo
,
who
in
love
of
his
Daughter
,
after
her
Name
,
called
it
Memphis
.
You
may
read
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
Idolatry
,
into
Aegypt
:
but
Aegypt
shall
gather
them
up
,
and
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
fertility
and
pleasantness
of
the
Country
,
as
you
may
read
,
Esay
.

The
Princes
of
Zoan

in
which
places
you
may
find
it
called
after
this
name
.
Zoan
is
the
City
Tanis
,
where
Moses
wrought
all
his
Miracles
:
But
Noph
,
or
Moph
,
is
this
Memphis
;
a
beautiful
Town
,
large
and
spacious
,
scituated
in
the
strongest
and
profitablest
place
in
Aegypt
;
divided
into
two
parts
by
the
River
Nilus
,
so
that
any
kind
of
commodities
or
merchandize
might
with
ease
be
brought
thither
by
Water
:
for
which
cause
the
Kings
of
that
Country
(
for
the
most
part
)
kept
their
abiding
there
.
Strabo
saith
,
lib.
17.
that
upon
the
East
part
of
this
City
,
there
standeth
a
Tower
or
Castle
called
Babylon
,
built
by
certain
Babylonians
,
who
leaving
their
own
Country
,
by
the
permission
of
the
Kings
of
Aegypt
,
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
Babylon
,
through
both
which
,
viz.
Memphis
and
Babylon
,
Nilus
passed
;
the
one
standing
upon
the
East
side
,
the
other
upon
the
West
.
Zoan
,
or
Tanis
,
stood
about
some
four
miles
from
this
Town
,
and
was
a
fair
and
spacious
City
also
,
scituated
towards
the
South
,
upon
the
East
side
of
Nilus
,
to
which
the
Kings
of
that
Country
often
resorted
;
and
Heliopolis
,
another
fair
City
,
stood
some
six
miles
off
that
,
towards
the
North-East
.
All
these
four
Towns
were
so
wonderfully
inhabited
(
by
reason
of
their
pleasant
and
profitable
scituation
)
that
in
process
of
time
they
became
all
one
City
;
and
in
this
Age
is
called
Alcaire
,
containing
in
Circuit
sixty
miles
:
so
that
it
seemeth
to
Spectators
to
be
like
a
Country
replenished
with
nothing
but
fair
Houses
,
goodly
Churches
,
and
strong
Towers
;
exceeding
all
the
rest
of
the
Cities
of
Aegypt
,
as
well
for
the
beautifulness
of
the
place
,
as
the
extent
and
largeness
of
it
.
It
is
reported
,
that
in
the
year
of
our
Lord
1476
,
there
was
such
an
extreme
Pestilence
in
it
,
that
there
dyed
20000
a
day
,
from
whence
may
be
gathered
,
how
infinitely
it
is
peopled
.
Near
to
this
Town
stood
the
Pyramides
,
which
are
held
to
be
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
twenty
years
a
building
,
a
hundred
thousand
Workmen
employed
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
excessive
charge
they
were
that
set
them
up

City

King
of
Aegypt
,
that
built
the
greatest
of
the
three
Pyramides
at
Memphis
.
He
(
hating
King
David
)
gave
him
kind
entertainment
,
assigned
him
a
part
of
the
Kingdom
of
Aegypt
to
dwell
in
,
and
after
married
him
with
his
Sister
Ta●hpenes
,
by
whom
he
had
a
Son
called
Genubath
,
who
was
brought
up
in
Pharaohs
,
or
King
Chopes
Court
,
where
he
continued
all
the
Life
of
David
,
being
twenty
seven
years
;
120
miles
.
David
being
dead
,
he
returned
into
his
own
Kingdom
of
Idumaea
,
which
was
200
miles
.
From
thence
he
went
back
to
Damascus
,
which
was
240
miles
,
where
he
was
created
King
of
the
Syrians
,
by
Reson
and
other
fugitives
,
which
had
conspired
against
Solomon
,
by
which
means
he
grievously
troubled
that
Kingdom
,
and
became
an
utter
Enemy
to
the
Israelites
all
the
Life
of
Solomon
.
And
of
him
is
the
original
and
stock
of
the
Kings
of
Syria

So
all
the
Travels
of

and
fled
from
him
to

,
which
was
120
miles
,
and
besieged
it
:
the
Citizens
whereof
(
when
neither

nor
Solomon
could
suppress
his
Rebellion
)
entertained
him
for
their
King

The
Travels
of
the
Kings
of
Israel
;
and
first
,
of
Jeroboam
.
THis
man
was
the
Son
of
Nebat
,
and
born
at
a
Town
called
Zared
,
not
far
from
Bethlehem-Euphrata
,
some
eight
miles
from
Ierusalem
:
from
whence
he
came
to
Solomon
,
who
made
him
Captain
,
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
four
miles
)
he
met
the
Prophet
Ahijah
the
Shilomite
,
who
told
him
that
he
should
be
King
of
Israel
,
1
Reg.
11.
From
thence
he
went
to
Memphis
in
Aegypt
,
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
year
succeeded
Solomon's
Father-in-law
)
in
that
Government
.
From
thence
he
returned
to
the
Town
of
Sichem
in
Israel
,
which
was
280
miles
,
where
the
Israelites
made
him
chief
Captain
against
Rehoboam
,
Solomon's
Son
.
Wherefore
Ieroboam
the
Son
of
Nebat
,
began
to
Raign
over
Israel
,
An.
mundi
,
2971
,
and
before
Christ
,
997
,
and
raigned
twenty
two
years
,
1
Reg.
12.
His
first
Seat
was
at
Sichem
,
which
he
repaired
and
enlarged
.
From
Sichem
(
in
the
first
year
of
his
reign
)
he
went
to
Penuel
,
and
there
set
up
many
fair
Buildings
,
which
was
twelve
miles
,
1
Reg.
12.
From
Penuel
he
went
twenty
four
miles
,
to
the
Town
of
Bethel
,
where
he
caused
a
Golden
Calf
to
be
set
up
for
the
People
to
worship
.
From
thence
he
went
to
Thirza
,
which
is
sixteen
miles
.
This
City
he
built
and
there
kept
his
Court
,
1
Reg.
14.
From
thence
he
went
to
the
Mount
Zemaraim
,
which
is
Mount
Ephraim
,
eighteen
miles
;
where
he
had
a
great
Battel
with
Abia
King
of
Iuda
,
and
lost
500000
of
his
Souldiers
,
all
chosen
men
of
Israel
,
2
Chr.

ver.

Having
lost
this
Battel
,
with
all
possible
speed
that
he
could
went
thence
to
Thirza
,
which
is
eighteen
miles
:
there
the
Lord
struck
him
with
a
grievous
Disease
that
he
died
miserably
,

Reg.

So
all
the
Travels
of
Ieroboam
,
first
King
of
Israel
,
were
623
miles
.
The
Description
of
the
Towns
and
places
to
which
Jeroboam
travelled
.
Of
Zemaraim
.
THis
was
a
certain
Plain
in
Mount
Ephraim
,
eight
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
North
,
near
to
the
Town
of
Bethel
,
in
the
Tribe
of
Manasses
:
for
Mount
Ephraim
is
divided
into
divers
parts
and
Tribes
.
It
seemeth
to
take
the
name
of
certain
Trees
that
abound
near
that
place
,
whereon
Cotton-wooll
groweth
,
for
Zaemaer
signifieth
Wooll
,
which
by
little
and
little
,
upon
such
Trees
doth
increase
and
grow
to
perfection
.
Of
Thirza
.
THis
was
a
fair
and
beautiful
City
,
scituated
in
a
high
and
pleasant
Mountain
,
in
the
Tribe
of
Manasses
,
some
twenty
four
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
North.
In
this
place
the
Kings
of
Israel
us'd
to
keep
their
Courts
,
until
Samaria
was
built
:
it
was
so
called
because
of
the
Excellency
and
delectableness
of
the
place
:
for
Thirza
doth
denote
,
An
acceptable
and
thankful
City
;
being
derived
of
Razah
,
he
received
thankfully
.
Of
the
Years
of
the
Iniquity
of
Israel
.
THe
years
of
the
Iniquity
of
Israel
(
mentioned
in
Ezek.
4.
)
is
to
be
accounted
from
that
day
wherein
Ieroboam
first
erected
the
Golden
Calves
:
wherefore
the
greatest
part
of
the
first
year
of
the
Iniquity
,
agreeth
with
the
second
year
of
Ieroboams
Reign
.
From
whence
may
be
gathered
,
that
from
that
time
,
till
the
destruction
of
Ierusalem
by
Nebuchadnezzar
,
were
390
years
full
ended
.
Of
Jeroboam's
Wife
,
Queen
of
Israel
.
SHE
went
from
Thirza
to
Zilo
,
which
was
about
twenty
four
miles
;
there
she
asked
counsel
of
Ahijam
the
Prophet
concerning
her
Son
Abia
,
for
he
was
sick
:
but
he
told
her
heavy
tidings
,
1
Reg.
14.

Wherefore
being
pensive
,
and
troubled
in
her
mind
,
she
returned
back
again
to
her
Husband
to
Thirza
,
24
miles
1
Reg.
14.
So
these
two
Journeys
were
48
miles
.
The
Iourney
of
the
Man
of
God
which
came
out
of
Juda.
THis
man
of
God
(
as
Iosephus
writeth
,
l.
Ant.
8.
)
came
from
Ierusalem
to
Bethel
,
which
was
eight
miles
;
and
was
called
by
the
name
of
Iadon
,
which
signifieth
,
The
Judge
of
the
Lord
.
When
he
came
thither
,
he
reproved
Ieroboam
with
an
extraordinary
Spirit
:
Of
whom
you
may
read
more
,
1
Reg.
13.
But
being
deceived
,
as
he
was
returning
,
a
Lyon
met
him
in
the
way
,
where
he
was
slain
,
and
after
buried
in
a
Sepulchre
in
Bethel
.
The
Travels
of
Nadab
,
the
second
King
of
Israel
.
NAdab
,
or
Bonifacias
,
succeeded
his
Father
Ieroboam
in
the
Kingdom
of
Israel
,
and
was
anointed
while
he
was
yet
living
;
a
liberal
and
free-hearted
Prince
.
He
began
to
reign
in
the
second
year
of
Asa
King
of
Iuda
,
Anno
Mundi
2992
,
and
before
Christ
,
977.
He
reigned
during
the
Life
of
his
Father
,
a
year
and
somewhat
more
:
but
when
he
had
reigned
two
years
,
he
went
from
Thirza
with
a
great
Army
,
to
the
City
of
Gibithon
,
which
was
thirty
six
miles
:
this
Town
he
besieged
very
straitly
,
but
at
length
was
slain
by
one
of
his
Captains
called
Baesa
;
so
he
lost
both
his
Life
and
Kingdom
in
that
place
,
1
Reg.
15.
Of
Gibithon
.
THis
was
a
City
of
the
Levites
in
the
Tribe
of
Dan
,
not
far
from
Ekron
in
the
Land
of
the
Philistines
,
sixteen
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
West
,
and
signifieth

lofty

The
Travels
of
Baesa
King
of
Israel
.
BAesa
is
as
much
as
to
say
,
An
industrious
and
prompt
man
in
doing
any
thing
.
This
man
having
slain
his
Master
near
unto
Gibithon
,
usurped
upon
the
Kingdom
of
Israel
about
the
end
of
the
third
year
of
Asa
King
of
Iuda
,
and
began
his
Reign
,
An.
Mund.
2992
,
before
Christ
,
974
,
and
reigned
over
Israel
almost
twenty
four
years
;
two
of
which
he
reigned
with
his
Son
,
1
Reg.
15.
He
went
from
Gibithon
to
Thirza
,
thirty
six
miles
,
where
he
utterly
rooted
out
the
whole
stock
and
Family
of
Ieroboam
.
After
,
falling
into
Idolatry
,
he
was
sharply
reprehended
for
it
by
Iehu
the
Prophet
,
the
Son
of
Hanani
;
of
whom
you
may
read
more
,
1
Reg.
15.
From
Thirza
he
went
to
Ramah
,
which
is
sixteen
miles
:
this
Town
he
built
,
and
fortified
it
very
strongly
,
2
Chr.
29.
But
when
he
heard
that
Benhadad
King
of
Syria
had
invaded
Israel
,
he
left
his
Building
at
Ramah
,
and
with
all
possible
speed
that
he
could
went
to
Thirza
,
where
he
died
,
and
was
buried
,
1
Reg.
15.
2
Chr.

So
all
the
Travels
of
Baesa
were
68
miles
.
Of
Ramah
.
Of
this
City
you

.
Of
Ella
,
or
Elah
King
of
Israel

ELAH
signifies
,
a
cruel
man
.
This
was
the
Son
of
Baasha
King
of
Israel
,
who
was
crowned
King
(
his
Father
yet
living
)
about
the
beginning
of
the
twenty
sixth
year
of
Asa
King
of
Iuda
,
at
such
time
as
Benhadad
King
of
Syria
invaded
and
wasted
Galilee
.
He
reigned
two
years
,
one
of
them
during
the
Life
of
his
Father
,
the
other
alone
in
Thirza
;
at

which

ZImri
signifieth
a

was
a
Captain
over

Elah's
Chariots
;
he
reigned
seven
dayes
in
Thirza
,
in
which
time
he
put
to
death
,
and
utterly
rooted
out
all
the
Posterity
of
Baasha
;
and
then
Omri
besieged
the
City
so
straitly
,
that
he
had
no
hope
to
escape
,
wherefore
he
set
the
City
and
Palace
on
fire
,
in
which
he
also
perished

of
Omri
King
of
Israel
.
OMRI
signifieth
a
Souldier
,
or
one
that
deserveth
his
Pay
.
He
was
made
King
by
the
Israelites
in
his
Tent
,
while
he
was
at
Wars
near
to
Gibithon
:
from
whence
he
went
to
Thirza
,
which
was
thirty
six
miles
,
and
besieged
the
same
upon
the
very
day
that
Zimri
had
put
the
Posterity
of
Baasha
to
the
Sword
,
and
took
it
.
He
began
to
reign
in
Thirza
,
Ann.
Mund.
3017
,
and
before
Christ
,
951.
and
reigned
over
Israel
twelve
years
,
the
first
six
in
Thirza
,
that
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
Kingdom
.
He
went
thither
about
the
seventh
year
of
his
Reign
,
1
Reg.
16.
So
these
two
Journeys
were
forty
two
miles
.
Of
Samaria
.
SAmaria
,
the
chief
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
Mountain
,
of
whom
King
Omri
bought
it
for
two
Talents
of
Silver
,
which
amounteth
to
1200
Crowns
.
In
this
City
,
fourteen
Kings
of
Israel
kept
their
Courts
,
viz.
Omri
,
who
was
the
first
Founder
of
it
,
Ahab
,
Ahazia
,
Iehoram
,
Iehu
,
Ioachas
,
Ioas
,
Ieroboam
,
Zacharias
,
Sallum
,
Menahem
,
Pekahia
,
Pekah
,
and
Hosea
,
who
was
the
last
of
the
Kings
of
Israel
that
reigned
in
this
City
,
and
lost
it
,
together
with
his
Liberty
.
Of
all
these
Kings
there
were
but
five
that
died
naturally
,
for
,
the
Lord
being
moved
to
wrath
by
reason
of
their
Impiety
and
Idolatry
,
either
gave
them
up
into
the
hands
of
Foreign
Enemies
,
or
by
Civil
War
amongst
themselves
they
cruelly
murthered
one
another
,
until
such
time
as
the
Assyrians
destroyed
the
Land
,
and
and
led
the
People
captive
.
Thus
the
Lord
punished
with
a
sharp
and
severe
punishment
this
obstinate
Nation
,
because
they
contemned
the
Admonitions
and
Doctrines
of
the
Prophets
,
amongst
which
,
Elias
and
Elizeus
were
the
chief
.
So
that
although
Samaria
was
a
fair
and
beautiful
City
,
and
the
Countrey
for
that
cause
was
called
the
Province
of
Samaria
;
yet
notwithstanding
,
that
great
God
,
the
Judge
of
all
things
,
for
the
Iniquity
of
the
People
,
caused
this
fair
City
to
be
left
desolate
,
the
Inhabitants
of
the
Land
to
be
dispersed
,
and
the
Earth
,
for
want
of
due
usage
,
to
lye
as
a
Wilderness

This
City
,
in
the
Old
Testament
(
according
to
the
Hebrew
Phrase
)
is
called
Shaemaer
,
of
Schomron
,

signifies
to

he
caused

such
was
the
impious
Security

Incredulity
of
this
man
)

the
Lord
was
angry
with
him
,

he
struck

of
Baal
,
which
was
about
thirty
two
miles
1
Reg.

From
thence
he
went
to
Iezreel
,
which
is
sixteen
miles
,
there
he
told
his
Wife
how
Elias
had
put
the
Priests
of
Baal
to
the
Sword
,
1
Reg.
18.
From
Iezreel
he
went
again
to
Samaria
,
eighteen
miles
,
where
being
prest
with
a
hard
Siege
by
Benhadad
King
of
Syria
,
he
broke
out
of
the
City
for
his
better
safety
,
and
by
Gods
great
providence
and
assistance
,
he
assailed
the
Syrians
,
put
a
great
multitude
of
them
to
the
Sword
,
the
rest
fled
,
and
he
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
Apheck
,
which
was
fourteen
miles
,
where
he
renewed
a
second
Battel
,
and
therein
had
good
success
,
so
that
he
took
Benhadad
alive
,
and
put
to
the
Sword
100000
Syrians
.
In
this
place
the
Prophet
of
the
Lord
reproved
him
for
his
ingratitude
and
obstinacy
;
wherefore
Ahab
being
angry
,
he
went
from
Apheck
to
Samaria
,
which
was
eight
miles
,
1
Reg.
20.
From
Samaria
he
went
to
Iezreel
,
sixteen
miles
,
where
that
perfidious
Queen
Iesabel
caused
Naboth
to
be
put
to
death
,
and
took
possession
of
his
Vineyard
,
1
Reg.
21.
From
Iezreel
he
went
to
Ramoth-Gilead
,
twenty
four
miles
;
and
there
,
in
a
fight
that
he
had
against
the
Syrians
,
was
so
sore
wounded
with
an
Arrow
,
that
he
was
constrained
to
leave
the
Battel
.
1
Reg.
22.
And
as
he
went
back
again
to
Samaria
,
which
was
twenty
four
miles
,
he
dyed
of
his
wound
.

Authority
,
that
feared
God

would
not

For
which
cause
he

went
down
to

recover
it
from

Within

King
of
Israel

JEhoram
succeeded
his
Brother
Ahaziah
in
the
Kingdom
of
Israel
;
who
began
his
Reign
in
the
eighteenth
year
of
Iosaphat
King
of
Iudah
,
and
as
Iosephus
saith
,
lib.
Ant.

about
the
fifth
year
of
his
Reign
,
went
from
Samaria
to
Ierusalem
,
which
was
32
miles
.
There
he
told
Iosaphat
how
the
King
of
Moab
had
rebelled
against
him
,
therefore
desired
him
to
go
along
with
him
to
the
War
,
2
Reg.

Then
Iehoram
and
Iosaphat
,
and
the
King
of
Edom
,
went
from
Ierusalem
,
and
compassed
about
through
the
Wilderness
of
Idumaea
,
by
the
space
of
seven
dayes
,
so
that
they
and
their
Army
for
want
of
Water
had
almost
perished
;
but
,
at
the
Prayers
of
the
Prophet
Elisha
,
they
were
miraculously
preserved
.
At
length
they
came
to
Petra
,
the
Metropolitan
City
of
the
Moabites
,
and
is
distant
from
Ierusalem
an
hundred
seventy
two
miles
,
which
they
took
,
and
consumed
it
with
Fire
and
Sword
.
2
Reg.

From
the
City
of
Petra
,
Iehoram
King
of
Israel
returned
back
to
Samaria
,
which
was
104
miles
;
where
,
within
a
while
after
,
he
was
so
sorely
besieged
by
Benhadad
,
King
of
Syria
,
that
the
Famine
grew
very
great
within
the
Town
,
insomuch
as
a
certain
Woman
eat
her
own
Child
,
2
Reg.

From
Samaria
he
went
to
Ramoth
in
Gilead
,
with
his
Army
,
which
is
24
miles
,
where
he
was
overcome
by
Asahel
King
of
the
Syrians
,
and
wounded
even
to
the
death
,
2
Reg.

From
the
Fight
of
Ramoth
Gilead
,
he
was
carried
in
his
Chariot
back
to
Iezreel
,
which
was
24
miles
,
where
he
lay
to
be
cured
of
his
Hurts
.
But
Iehu
,
one
of
his
chief
Captains
,
rebelled
against
him
,
and
as
he
was
in
his
Chariot
,
shot
an
Arrow
,
and
wounded
him
the
second
time
,
whereof
he
died
in
the
Field
of
Naboth
the
Iezreelite
,

So
all
the
Travels
of
Iehoram
were
356
miles
.
The
Travels
of
Jehu
,
King
of
Israel
.
JEHV
signifies
a
constant
man
in
himself
,
and
was
the
Son
of
Iosaphat
,
the
Son
of
Nimschi
,
he
was
anointed
King
of
Israel
in
the
Castle
at
Ramoth
in
Gilead
,
by
Elisha
,
Anno
Mun.
3063.
and
before
Christ
,
905.
he
reigned
28
years
,
2
Reg.

From
Ramoth
in
Gilead
,
in
his
Chariot
he
went
to
Iezreel
,
which
was
24
miles
;
where
,
in
the
Field
of
Naboth
the
Iezreelite
,
he
killed
Iehoram
with
an
Arrow
.
And
when
he
came
to
the
Gates
of
the
City
,
he
caused
Iezabel
to
be
thrown
from
a
Tower
,
whom
he
trampled
under
his
Horse
feet
;
and
after
,
in
that
same
place
,
she
was
eaten
up
with
Dogs
.
Then
he
sent
Messengers
to
Samaria
,
commanding
the
Samaritans
that
they
should
put
to
death
the
70
Sons
of
Ahab
,
which
they
immediately
did
,
and
sent
their
Heads
unto
him
in
Baskets
.
2
Reg.
10.
From
Iezreel
he
went
to
Samaria
,
which
is
sixteen
miles
.
In
that
Journey
he
caused
to
be
slain
by
his
Ministers
,
the
42
Brothers
of
Ahaziah
King
of
Iuda
,
near
to
the
Well
which
was
beside
the
House
where
Sheep
were
shorn
.
And
when
he
came
to
Samaria
,
he
caused
all
the
Posterity
of
Ahab
to
be
utterly
destroyed
and
rooted
out
.
And
to
conclude
the
Tragedy
,
by
a
cunning
Policy
,
put
to
death
all
the
Priests
of
Baal
,
2
Reg.
10.
So
all
the
Travels
of
Iehu
were
40
miles
.
Of
Jehoahas
,
King
of
Israel
.
JEhoahas
was
the
Son
of
Iehu
,
and
succeeded
his
Father
in
the
Kingdom
of
Israel
;
he
began
his
Reign
in
the
33
year
of
Ioas
King
of
Iudah
,
in
the
Year
of
the
World
3091
,
and
before
Christ
876.
He
reigned
over
Israel
seventeen
Years
.
God
stirred
up
against
this
wicked
King
,
Asahel
King
of
the
Syrians
,
who
with
10000
Foot
,
and
five
hundred
Horse
besieged
Samaria
very
strongly
;
put
to
the
Sword
many
of
his
Subjects
,
and
got
many
Cities
and
Towns
from
him
,
as

Prophet
Elisha
had

told
him

The
Travels
of
Joas
,
King
of
Israel

JOAS
succeeded
his
Father
Iehoahas
,
and
while
he
was
yet
living
,
was
anointed
King
of
Israel
,
in
the
thirty
seventh
year
of
Ioas
King
of
Iudah
,
and
reigned
two
years
with
his
Father
;
after
his
Death
fifteen
;
so
all
the
Reign
of
Ioas
was
seventeen
Years
.
This
Man
was
a
great
Souldier
,
and
went
from
Samaria
with
an
Army
against
the
City
of
Apheck
,
which
was
fourteen
miles
:
there
he
smote
the
Syrians
,
and
in
three
several
Battels
carried
away
the
Victory
;
recovering
the
Cities
which
his
Father
Iehoahas
had
lost
,
according
to
the
Prophecy
of
Elisha
,
2
Reg.
17.
From
Apheck
he
returned
to
Samaria
,
being
14
miles
.
From
thence
he
went
with
his
Army
to
Bethsemes
,
in
the
Land
of
Iuda
,
where
,
in
a
sharp
and
cruel
War
,
he
conquered
Amasia
,
and
took
him
alive
,
2
Reg.
14.
which
was
32
miles
.
From
Bethsemes
he
went
to
Ierusalem
,
and
carried
the
King
thereof
with
him
Captive
,
being
four
miles
.
He
won
the
City
,
and
broke
down
the
Walls
of
it
,
from
the
Gate
of
Ephraim
till
you
come
to
the
Angle-Gate
,
four
hundred

,
2

From
the
City
of
Ierusalem
,
Ioas
the
Conquerour
returned
to
Samaria
,
with
the
spoil
of
the
Temple
,
and
of
the
King's
House
,
with
many
Captives
,
and
a
great
Prey
,
being
thirty
two
miles
;
where
,
at
the
end
of
the
seventeenth
year
of
his
Reign
,
he
died
,
and
was
buried
.
In
this
man's
time
Elisha
the
Prophet
died
,
2
Reg.

So
all
the
Travels
of
Ioas
were
ninety
six
miles
.
Of
Bethsemes
.
Of
this
City
you

King
of
Israel

THIS
Ieroboam
succeeded
his
Father
Ioas
in
the
Kingdom
of
Israel
,
and
began
his
Reign
,
Anno
Mundi
,
3123.
and
before
Christ
,
845.
which
,
according
to
the
Text
of
the
Bible
,
happened
about
the
15th
Year
of
Amasia
King
of
Iuda
,
and
he
reigned
41
Years
,
2
Reg.
14.
He
kept
his
Court
at
Samaria
,
where
the
Prophet
Ionas
told
him
,
that
he
should
recover
not
only
the
Towns
and
Cities
of
the
Land
of
Israel
that
had
been
lost
,
but
also
the
Cities
of
Hemeth
and
Damascus
:
wherefore
he
gathered
a
great
Army
out
of
the
City
of
Samaria
,
and
went
thence
unto
Hemeth
,
or
Antiochia
in
Syria
,
which
was
248
miles
.
This
City
he
conquered
,
and
all
the
Country
thereabout
;
so
that
he
recovered
all
the
ancient
Towns
and
Cities
that
belonged
to
David
and
Saul
,
even
to
Hemeth
in
Syria
,
to
Soba
in
Armenia
,
with
all
the
Cities
,
Towns
,
Castles
and
Countries
near
adjoyning
to
them
,
2
Reg.
14.
From
Hemeth
or
Antiochia
,
he
went
to
Damascus
,
which
is
140
miles
This
City
he
also
took
,
and
all
the
Country
of
Syria
round
about
,
he
made
tributary
to
him
,
2
Reg.
14.
From
Damascus
he
went
to
the
Red
Sea
,
even
320
miles
:
and
also
recovered
all
the
South
part
,
which
in
times
past
belonged
unto
the
Kingdom
of
Israel
,
2
Reg.
14.
After
this
,
he
returned
to
Samaria
,
his
own
Country
,
which
was
192
miles
:
where
,
in
the
one
and
fortieth
year
of
his
Reign
,
he
dyed
,
and
was
there
buried
.
After
his
death
,
the
Kingdom
of
Israel
was
oppressed
with
Tyranny
,
until
it
was
destroyed
by
Foreign
Nations
:
and
for
the
space
of
twelve
years
there
was
no
King
that
succeeded
him
.
In
the
Reign
of
this
King
(
a
little
before
his
death
)
there
happened
a
horrible
Earth-quake
;
of
which
you
may
read
,
Amos
1.
which
without
doubt
did
fore-shew
some
eminent
changes
that
should
happen
in
that
Kingdom
,
as
did
afterward

So
all
the
Travels
of
Ieroboam
,
(
the
second
of

were
900
miles

Of
Zachariah

From

he
went
to

with
his
Army
,
which
was
six

;
(
where
,
having
slain
Sallum
his
Lord
and

)
he
usurp'd
upon

From
thence
he
went
to
Thipsa

This
Town
he
cruelly
destroyed
with
Fire
and
Sword
,
and
all
the
Towns
thereabout
,
because
they
refused
to
open
their
Gates
unto
him

From

this
cruel
Tyrant
went
back

six

Wherefore
the
Lord

stirred
up
Phul

who
came
from

being
624

and

scituated
in

But
because
the
inhabitants
thereof
denied
to
open
their
Gates
to
this
cruel
Tyrant
Menahem

therefore
he
utterly
destroyed
it

,

before

of

King

Iudah
,
and
reigned
over
Israel
twenty
years
,

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
:
nevertheless
he
overcame
Ahaz
King
of
Iuda
in
a
great
Battel
,
and
put
to
the
Sword
in
one
day
above
12000
Souldiers
that
bare
Armour
.
In
this
War
there
were
taken
200000
Women
,
Children
and
Maids
;
all
which
,
he
carried
Captives
to
Samaria
,

From
Ierusalem
he
returned
to
Samaria
,
with
a
great
Booty
,
being
32
miles
;
and
at
the
Command
of
Obed
the
Prophet
set
at
liberty
all
his
Captives
.
After
,
about
the
end
of
the

of

,
he
was
slain
by
Hosea
,
his
chief
Captain
,
who

So
all
the
Travels

HOSEA

,
and

He
kept
Court
at
Samaria
,
and
was
a
cruel
and
wicked
King
.
Wherefore
God
stirred
up
Salmanasser
,
Emperour
of
the
Assyrians
,
who
about
the
end
of
the
seventh
Year
of
his
Reign
came
to
Samaria
,
and
besieged
it
for
the
space
of
three
Years
;
at
the
end
of
the
third
Year
,
with
great
Labour
,
he
won
it
,
and
all
the
Country
round
about
;
so
that
he
took
King
Hosea
Prisoner
,
and
led
him
,
together
with
a
great
Multitude
of
the
Iews
(
amongst
which
were
Gabriel
and
Raphael
the
Friends
of
Toby
the
Elder
)
thence
to
Nineveh
Captives
,
being
652
miles
.
From
Nineveh
he
sent
them
to
a
place
called
Rages
in
Media
,
being
752
miles
,
and
in
that
Country
peopled
many
Towns
and
Cities
with
them
;
so
that
there
were
many
of
the
Israelites
led
into
Captivity
above
1396
miles
,
for
so
many
miles
is
Rages
and
the
Cities
of
the
Medes
from

This

SALMANASSER
,
after
he
had
carried
the
Children
of
Israel
away
captive
into
Assyria
,
sent
(
as
it
is
said
)
part
of
them
into
Media
,
and
part
of
them
into
Persia
,
and
so
di●persed
them
here
and
there
about
the
Country
.
But
because
the
Land
of
Israel
,
by
reason
of
this
Captivity
,
became
desolate
and
without
Inhabitants
,
therefore
he
caused
those
People
which
dwelt
about
the
River
Cutha
,
in
Persia
,
to
go
thence
,
and
dwell
in
Samaria
,
and
in
all
the
Country

,
to
till
the

dress

lest
some

were

should
usurp
upon
that
Kingdom

it
being
thus

In

the
said
River
of

,
a
multitude
of
Iews
,
with
great
shame
and
grief
were
constrained
to
dwell
.
He
also
gathered
a

multitude

People
out

,
Hamath
,
or
Antiochia
,
some
out
of
his
own
Dominions
of
Assyria

also
out
of
Media
,
and
the
People
of
Ava
and
Sepharvaiim
,
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
behalf
,
the
Policy
of
this
Emperour
was
much
greater
than
that
of
the
Romans
,
for
the
retaining
of
this
Kingdom
;
but
especially
than
that
of
Titus
Vespasian
;
for
he
,
having
conquered
the
Land
,
wasted
it
and
destroyed
it
with
Fire
and
Sword
,
put
thence
the
Inhabitants
,
and
dispersed
them
here
and
there
,
left
the
Country
bare
and
naked
,
only
a
few
Garrisons
were
placed
in
the
strongest
Cities
,
to
keep
it
to
their
use
.
Which
not
being
able
enough
to
oppose
the
incursions
of
the
Saracens
,
that
in
great
Troops
brake
out
of
the
Desarts
of
Arabia-Petraea
,
they
soon
lost
all
that
they
had
gotten
;
and
the
Turks
joyning
with
them
,
they
have
now
gained
into
their
possession
that
pleasant
and
fruitful
Land
of
Iudaea
,
and
inhabit
therein
even
to
this
day
,
to
the
great
detriment
and
scandal
of
the
Christians
.
But
to
return
to
the
People
sent
to
inhabit
this
Kingdom
,
who
,
as
they
were
of
divers
Nations
,
so
were
they
of
divers
Religions
,
and
every
Family
had
his
particular
God
.
Wherefore
the
Lord
sent
a
Multitude
of
Lyons
among
them
;
which
daily
vexed
them
:
from
whence
it
happened
that
Salmanasser
was
constrained
to
send
back
unto
them
a
Levite
(
one
of
the
Priests
that
had
been
carried
away
Captive
)
to
shew
them
the
true
Worship
of
God
.
He
came
to
Bethel
,
and
there
taught
them
the
Doctrine
of
the
Lord
,
and
the
Customs
and
Ceremonies
of
the
Mosaical
Law
:
whereby
it
happened
that
they
began
to
worship
God
and
their
Idols
,
in
neither
observing
their
Ancient
custom
.
For
which
cause
they
became
so
abominable
unto
the
Iews
,
that
they
refused
their
company
and
familiarity
,
(
as
that
Samaritan
woman
confessed
to
Christ
at
Iacobs
Well
,
Ioh.
4.
)
so
that
when
the
Iews
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
Samaritan
and
●est
a
Devil
.
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
Government
over
the
rest

The
Travels
of
the
Kings
of
Syria
,
that
made
Wars
upon
the
Kings
of
Israel
.
And
first
of
the
Travels
or
Incursions
of
Benhadad
.
BEnhadad
King
of
Syria
,
went
from
Damascus
,
the
chief
City
of
his
Kingdom
,
and
came
to
Samaria
,
and
straitly
besieged
it
in
the
time
of
Ahab
King
of
Israel
,
1
Reg.
24.
being
132
miles
.
From
thence
(
being
overcome
and
put
to
flight
by
Ahab
)
he
returned
back
to
Damascus
,
which
was
132
miles
.
The
second
time
he
came
from
thence
,
and
invaded
the
Land
of
Israel
,
even
unto
the
City
of
Apheck
,
124
miles
,
which
he
besieged
.
But
Ahab
King
of
Israel
overcame
him
in
a
great
Battel
,
and
put
100000
Syrians
to
the
Sword
;
and
when
the
rest
of
the
multitude
would
have
fled
into
the
City
,
the
ruins
of
a
Wall
fell
down
upon
them
,
so
that
there
dyed
27000.
This
put
Benhadad
in
such
a
fear
,
that
he
was
constrained
to
fly
from
one
chamber
to
another
to
hide
himself
;
but
at
last
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
back
to
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
Battel
,
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 selves
.
But
the
Prophet
Elisha
disco●ered
their
purposes
,
2
Reg.

Out
of
the
Land
of
Isrel
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
straitly
,
that
an
Asses
head
was
worth
eighty
pieces
of
Silver
.
But
yet
the
Lord
,
at
the
fervent
Prayers
of
Elizeus
the
Prophet
,
struck
such
a
fear
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
,

So
all
the
Travels
of
King
Benhadad
were
1224
miles
.
The
Travels
of
the
Captains
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
Town
of
Hion
,
seventy
two
miles
.
From
thence
they
went
to
Dan
,
which
is
four
miles
.
From
Dan
they
went
to
the
City
of
Abel-Bethmaacha
,
twelve
miles
.
From
thence
they
went
to
the
land
of
Chineroth
,
which
was
accounted
eight
miles
:
there
they
took
certain
Cities
of
Fruit
,
and
spoiled
and
destroyed
them
.
From
Chineroth
in
the
Tribe
of
Nephtaly
(
when
they
had
cruelly
wasted
and
destroyed
that
Country
)
they
returned
with
a
great
booty
to
Damascus
,
being
eighty
eight
miles
,

So
all
their
Travels
were

It
was
scituated

NAaman
came
from
Damascus
to
Samaria
,
which
was
132
miles
,
to
be
cured
of
his
Leprosie
by
Elizeus
;
who
commanded
him
to
go
to
the
River
Iordan
,
and
wash
himself
therein
seven
times
,
and
he
should
be
cleansed
.
Wherefore
from
Samaria
he
went
to
Iordan
,
twenty
six
miles
,
and
there
,
according
to
the
commandment
of
the
Prophet
,
he
washed
himself
seven
times
,
and
was
cleansed
,

From
the
River
Iordan
he
returned
back
again
to
Elizeus

,
to
give
him
thanks
for
that
benefit
,
which
was
about
sixteen
miles
.
From
Samaria
he
returned
to

to
the
City
Aroer
,
which
was
132

From
thence
he
went
through
the

,
which
is
accounted

After
,
he
returned
into
his
own
Kingdom
,
to
Damascus
,
which
is
320

Within
a
while
after
,
he
went
again
from
Damascus
with
his
Army
to
Gath
,
which
is
reckoned

This
City
he
won
From
Gath
he
went
to
Ierusalem

thirty
two

which
he
besieged
so
streightly
,
that
Ioas

went
to

which
was
about
160

The
last
Journey
that
he
went
against
the
Israelites
,
was
,
when
he
besieged
Samaria
,
at
which
time
he
won

132
●iles
.
Having
finished
this
Expedition
,
he
returned
back
to
Damascus
,
132
miles
,
and
there
dyed
and
was
buried
.
So
all
the
Travels
of
Hasael
King
of
Syria
,
were
1384
miles
.
The
Cities
of
Aroer
and
Gath
are
described
before
;
therefore
I
shall
not
need
to
speak
of
them
again
in
this
place

The
Travels
of
Benhadad
,
the
second
of
that
name
,
King
of
Syria
.
THis
Benhadad
was
the
Son
of
Hasael
,
and
succeeded
him
in
the
Government
.
He
went
from
the
City
Damascus
with
a
great
Army
,
to
Apheck
,
which
was
104
miles
.
This
King
was
three
times
one
after
another
overthrown
by
Ioab
King
of
Israel
,
and
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
Journeys
were
208
miles
.
The
Travels
of
Resin
King
of
Syria
.
RESIN
King
of
Syria
went
from
Damascus
,
and
joyning
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
year
of
the
World
3206
,
and
before
Christ
762.
)
the
Prophet
Esay
,
ca.
7.
foretold
of
the
Birth
of
our
Saviour
Christ
,
saying
,
Behold
a
Virgin
being
great
shall
bring
forth
a
Child
,
and
shall
call
his
name
Emanuel
.
From
thence
he
brought
his
Army
through
Idumaea
,
to
El●th
,
a
City
of
the
Red
Sea
,
some
160
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
South
,
and
sixteen
miles
from
Ezeongaber
Northward
.
This
City
Resin
won
,
and
thrust
from
thence
the
Iews
out
of
it
.
From
●lath
he
went
to
Damascus
,
280
miles
,
where
he
was
slain
by
Tiglath
Phulasser
,
that
mighty
King
of
the
Assyrians
,
who
carried
a
great
multitude
of
the
Inhabitants
of
Damascus
into
the
Country
of
Syrene
,
where
they
endured
a
miserable
Exile
,

So
all
the
Travels
of
King
Resin
were
600

began

Reign

who
by
reason
of
his
extream
cruelty
and
threats
(
following
the
counsel
of
his
young
Courtiers
,
rather
than
of
his
grave
Senators
)
the
same
year
lost
ten
of
the
Tribes
,
that
fell
from
him
and
rebelled
against
him
;
so
that
he
reigned
over
Iudah
and
Benjamin
seventeen
years
,
1
Reg.
11.
14.
A
little
after
the
death
of
Solomon
,
he
went
to
Sichem
,
thirty
two
miles
,
where
he
was
anointed
and
crowned
King
.
But
the
People
perceiving
that
he
carried
himself
very
proudly
and
arrogantly
,
desired
him
that
he
would
ease
them
of
the
burden
formerly
imposed
upon
them
by
his
Father
:
(
for
Solomon
had
set
a
certain
Tax
on
every
man
,
because
he
was
at
extraordinary
charges
as
long
as
the
Temple
was
building
)
but
he
,
little
regarding
their
request
,
told
them
,
That
his
little
finger
should
be
heavier
than
the
whole
burthen
of
his
Father
:
wherefore
they
,
disliking
his
Speech
,
fell
all
from
him
,
except
Benjamin
and
Iudah
.
Wherefore
the
King
,
shunning
the
fury
of
the
People
,
with
all
possible
speed
went
from
Sichem
to
Jerusalem
back
again
,
being
thirty
two
miles
.
Then
he
fortified
all
the
chief
Cities
of
Judah
and
Benjamin
,
2
Chr.
11.
So
all
the
Travels
of
Rehoboam
were
sixty
four
miles
.
But
he
principally
fortified
fourteen
Cities
in
the
Tribe
of
Judah

The
Iourney
and

King
of
Ethiopia

whom
Asa
King
of
Judah
overcame
in
the
Valley
of

SAerah
or
Saerach
signifieth
,
A
noble
and
puissant
Lord
.
This
was
a
mighty
and
warlike
Prince
,
who
governed
Lybia
and
Aethiopia
;
the
King
of
which
Country
at
this
day
we
call
Presbyter
Iohn
,
or
rather
,
●etro
Iohannes
;
who
holdeth
his
Court
in
a
fair
and
goodly
City
called
Hamarich
,
the
Metropolitan
of
all
Ethiopia
,
and
extendeth
his
Government
beyond
Meroes
in
Africa
,
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
Emperour
.
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
abundance
of
Souldiers
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
●e
concluded
,
That
it
is
not
the
Strength
of
Man
which
delivereth

The
Travels
of
Jehosaphat
King
of
Judah
.
JEhosaphat
signifies
,
The
Judge
of
the
Lord
.
He
began
his
Reign
in
the
fourth
year
of
Ahab
,
1
Reg.
22.
The
greatest
part
therefore
of
the
first
year
of
this
King
,
happened
in
the
Year
of
the
World
,
3033
,
and
before
Christ
,
935.
He
reigned
over
Israel
twenty
five
years
,
that
is
,
from
the
35th
of
his
Age
,
to
the
sixtieth
.
In
the
seventh
year
of
his
Reign
,
he
went
from
Ierusalem
to
Samaria
,
which
was
32
miles
,
to
visit
his
Kinsman
,
Ahab
King
of
Israel
:
for
Ioram
his
Son
,
some
ten
years
before
,
had
married
Athaliah
,
King
Ahab's
Sister
,
2
Reg.
8.
From
Samaria
he
went
with
Ahab
to
the
War
at
Ramoth
in
Gilead
,
being
twenty
four
miles
,
where
Ahab
was
slain
,
2
Reg
,
22.
2
Chr.
18.
From
Ramoth
he
went
safe
from
the
Wars
to
Ierusalem
,
which
was
forty
eight
miles
.
From
Ierusalem
he
went
to
the
City
of
Beersaba
,
the
utmost
bounds
of
his
Kingdom
,
towards
the
South
,
to
instruct
his
People
in
the
Law
of
the
Lord
:
forty
two
miles
from
Ierusalem
,
South-ward
.
From
Beersaba
,
passing
through
all
his
Kingdom
,
he
came
to
Mount
Ephraim
,
being
forty
eight
miles
,
and
the
utmost
bounds
of
his
Kingdom
North-ward
,
being
some
eight
miles
from
Ierusalem
,
2
Chr.
19.
From
Mount
E●hraim
he
went
to
Ierusalem
,
which
was
eight
miles
.
Thus
Iehosaphat
went
through
all
his
Dominions
,
to
instruct
his
Subjects
in
Piety
,
and
the
true
Worship
of
God
:
in
every
City
ordaining
Judges
and
Governours
,
Magistrates
,
Procurators
and
Assessors
,
committing
to
their
Discretion
the
deciding
of
all
Controversies
;
saying
to
them
,
Take
heed
what
you
do
,
for
the
Office
you
have
taken
upon
you
is
not
Humane
,
but
Divine
:
and
as
you
judge
,
so
shall
you
be
judged
;
for
the
Lord
is
with
you
in
judgment
.
Wherefore
do
all
things
with
diligence
,
and
in
the
fear
of
the
Lord
;
for
with
the
Lord
there
is
no
iniquity
,
nor
respect
of
Persons
,
neither
taketh
he
any
bribes
.
And
he
himself
remained
chief
Judge
in
Ierusalem
,
to
whom
any
might
appeal
from
the
inferiour
Judges
,
that
so
there
might
be
a
just
end
of
Controversies
,
2
Chr.
16.
Afterward
,
Iehosaphat
went
forth
with
his
Army
to
Tecoa
,
six
miles
from
Ierusalem
,
where
,
by
fervent
Prayers
,
the
sounding
of
Trumpets
,
and
other
musical
Instruments
,
in
obtained
a
memorable
Battel
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
fair
Valley
between
Tecoa
and
Engedi
.
So
Iehosaphat
pursued
the
Enemy
for
three
days
with
great
slaughter
,
and
returned
with
a
mighty
spoil
.
This
was
called
the
Valley
of
Blessing
,
because
of
this
great
Victory
at
Tecoa
,
and
began
eight
miles
from
Ierusalem
South-eastward
,
and
extended
it self
to
the
Tower
of
Engedi
,
near
to
the
Bank
of
the
Red
Sea
,
twenty
miles
.
From
Engedi
(
out
of
the
Valley
of
Blessing
)
Iehosaph
at
and
his
Army
returned
to
Ierusalem
,
twenty
miles
,
and
went
into
the
Temple
,
with
Shalms
,
Harps
,
Timbrels
,
and
great
Joy
,
thankfull
acknowledging
Gods
merciful
Favour
toward
him
,
in
giving
him
so
great
a
Victory
,
2
Chr.
20.
But
as
there
is
nothing
in
this
Life
that
can
be
said
permanent
,
so
likewise
the
felicity
of
Iehosa●hat
changed
on
a
sudden
,
the
froward
and
adverse
frown
of
Adversity
seising
upon
his
Prosperity
;
for
,
joyning
with
that
wicked
and
impious
King
of
Israel
,
Ahaziah
,
upon
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
the
which
cause
there
arose
a
great
Tempest
,
which
brake
down
the
Works
,
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
chief
City
of
the
King
of
the
Moabites
,
distant
from
Ierusalem
seventy
two
miles
,
2
Reg.

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

2

So
all
the
Travels
of
Iehosaphat
King
of
Iuda
were
three
hundred
seventy
two
miles
.
The
typical
signification
of
Jehosaphat
.
AS
Iehosaphat
by
Prayer
,
and
the
sound
of
Trumpets
,
and
other
Instruments
of
Musick
,
overcame
and
dispersed
his
Enemies
without
drawing
his

Christ

,
overcame

King

JORAM
signifies
,
The
exalted
of
the
Lord
.
He
was
crowned
King
,
(
his
Father
yet
living
)
at
such
time
as
he
made
his
Expedition
against
Mesa
King
of
the
Moabites
,
which
happened
about
the
fifth
year
of
Iehoram
King
of
Israel
,
An.
Mundi
,
3055
,
and
before
Christ
,
913.
He
reigned
with
his
Father
Iehosaphat
two
years
,
and
after
his
Decease
,
six
.
So
Ioram
reigned
eight
years
over
Iudah
,
and
when
he
was
forty
years
old
,
died
miserably
,

About
the
beginning
of
the
second
year
of
this
King's
Reign
,
(
which
was
the
sixth
of
Iehoram
King
of
Israel
)
Elias
the
Prophet
was
taken
up
into
Heaven
.
About
the
beginning
of
his
Reign
,
he
went
from
Ierusalem
to
Mount
Seir
,
being
twenty
eight
miles
South-ward
;
where
he
used
such
extreme
cruelty
toward
the
Edomites
,
which
at
this
time
were
his
Subjects
,
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
twenty
eight
miles
,
and
there
cruelly
put
to
death
his
own
Brothers
.
But
God
stirred
up
against
him
the
Philistines
and
Arabians
,
who
broke
into
Iuda
,
and
destroyed
it
with
Fire
and
Sword
.
They
also
went
to
Ierusalem
,
and
took
thence
all
his
Substance
and
Riches
,
put
his
Children
to
the
Sword
,
all
but
Ioachas
,
which
was
also
called
Ahaziah
,
or
Ochorias
;
and
carried
away
his
Wives
captive
into
Arabia
Foelix
,
which
is
near
unto
Ethiopia
1200
miles
.
Then
the
Lord
struck
him
with
an
extream
pain
in
his
Bowels
,
of
which
,
after
two
years
,
he
died
,
and
was
buried
without
any
Funeral-pomp
,
or
honourable
Respect
,
near
to
the
King's
Tower
.
A
man
unworthy
to
be
buried
in
the
Sepulchre
of
the
rest
of
the
Kings
,
because
he
so
much
degenerated
from
David
his
Predecessor
,

So
all
the
Travels
of
Ioram
were
fifty
six
miles
.
The
Travels
of
Ahaziah
King
of
Judah
.
AHaziah
(
which
also
was
called
Iehoachas
)
succeeded
his
Father
Ioram
in
the
Government
of
Iudah
,
and
began
his
Reign
in
the
twelfth
year
of
Iehoram
King
of
Israel
,
Ann.
Mund.
3062.
and
before
Christ
,
906
,
and
reigned
one
year
,
1
Reg.
8.
He
went
from
Ierusalem
to
Ramoth
in
Gilead
,
which
is
accounted
forty
eight
miles
:
There
he
went
to
Battel
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
back
again
to
visit
his
Kinsman
,
Iehoram
King
of
Israel
,
to
Iezteel
,
for
he
was
wounded
in
the
Battel
against
Hasael
,
and
lay
there
to
be
cured
:
which
was
forty
eight
miles
.
With
Iehoram
he
went
to
meet
Iehu
,
the
Captain
of
the
Host
,
who
shot
an
Arrow
,
and
wounded
Iehoram
,
that
he
died
in
the
Field
of
Naboth
the
Iezreelite
.
Wherefore
Ahaziah
,
to
save
his
Life
,
fled
with
all
possible
speed
,
taking
his
way
to
the
King's
Garden
,
that
stood
close
by
the
Vineyard
of
Naboth
the
Iezreelite
,
not
far
from
teh
City
and
Tower
of
Iezreel
.
But
Iehu
followed
him
so
close
,
that
he
wounded
him
as
he
ascended
up
to
a
place
called
GVR
,
which
signifieth
a
Lions
Whelp
;
near
unto
the
Town
which
is
called
Iiblea
.
Wherefore
Ahaziah
feeling
himself
hurt
,
went
to
Megiddo
,
four
miles
from
Iezreel
,
and
near
to
Apheck
upon
the
West
.
There
(
as
Iosephus
saith
,
lib.
Antiq.
9.
)
he
caused
his
wounds
to
be
searched
and
bound
up
.
This
City
of
Megiddo
is
forty
eight
miles
from
Ierusalem
Northward
.
From
Megiddo
he
went
to
Samaria
,
which
was
fourteen
miles
;
there
he
lay
hid
for
a
while
,
flying
from
one
place
to
another
,
to
save
himself
.
2
Chr.
22.
But
being
found
out
,
he
was
carried
back
to
the
City
of
Megiddo
,
which
was
fourteen
miles
;
and
at
the
commandment
of
Iehu
,
was
there
slain
,
1
Reg.
8.
From
Megiddo
his
Carcasa
was
carried
to
Ierusalem
,
which
was
forty
eight
miles
,
and
there
buried
,
2

So
all
the
Travels
of
Ahaziah
King
of
Iudah
,
were
224
miles
.
Of
that
Idolatrous
and
wicked
Queen
Athalia
.
AThalia
was
Sister
to
Ahab
and
Daughter
to
Omri
,
married
to
Ioram
Son
of
that
good
King
Iehosaphat
,
when
he
was
but
seventeen
years
of
age
;
and
after
the
death
of
Azahiah
(
who
was
slain
about
the
twenty
third
year
of
his
age
)
she
usurped
upon
the
Kingdom
of
Israel
(
Anno
Mundi
,
3063
,
before
Christ
,
905
,
)
and
reigned
with
great
Tyranny
almost
seven
years
:
So
soon
as
she
had
obtained
the
Government
,
she
cruelly
and
miserably
put
to
death
the
children
of
Ahaziah
,
and
all
those
that
were
next
Heirs
to
the
kingdom
;
only
Ioas
who
was
saved
by
the
policy
of
Iehoshabeath
Sister
to
Ahasiah
,
that
stole
him
from
among
the
rest
of
the
King's
Sons
,
and
put
him
to
Nurse
in
her
Bed-Chamber
:
and
he
was
with
them
in
the
House
of
God
six
years
;
all
which
time
Athalia
,
raigned
over
the
land
.
And
in
the
seventh
year
,
Iehojada
waxed
bold
,
and
proclaimed
Ioas
King
,
as
being
next
Heir
to
the
Crown
,
and
anointed
him
in
the
Temple
;
who
after
Athalia
was
slain
,
succeeded
in
the
Government
,

Of
Joas
King
of
Judah
.
JOas
began
to
reign
over
Iudah
when
he
was
almost
seven
years
of
age
and
about
the
middle
of
the
seventh
year
of
Iehu
King
of
Israel
,
Anno
Mundi
,
3069
,
and
before
Christ
,
899
,
and
raigned
over
Iudah
forty
years
.
He
did
that
which
was
acceptable
in
the
●ight
of
the
Lord
all
the
days
of
Iehojada
the
Priest
,
who
crowned
him
King
:
but
after
his
death
he
fell
into
evil
courses
,
and
caused
that
good
Priest
Zachariah
(
the
Son
of
Iehojada
,
who
was
the
Author
of
all
his
preferment
)
to
be
stoned
to
death
in
the
upper
Court
of
the
Temple
;
which
act
,
argued
that
he
was
very
unthankful
and
tyrannical
.
But
the
Lord
(
displeased
with
his
cruelty
)
within
a
year
after
the
death
of
Zachariah
,
stirred
up
the
Syrians
,
who
invaded
Iudaea
and
spoiled
the
City
of
Ierusalem
:
in
which
War
,
all
those
that
stirred
up
the
King
to
Idolatry
were
cruelly
slain
.
To
conclude
,
within
a
while
after
some
of
his
Courtiers
conspired
against
him
,
and
as
he
lay
sick
of
a
grievous
disease
in
his
bed
,
put
him
to
death
;
and
buried
him
in
Milo
,
the
City
of
David
.
Thus
God
justly
punished
this
Tyrant
for
his
Unthankfulness
,
Apostasie
,
and
Cruelty
,
when
he
had
lived
47
years
,

The
Travels
of
Amasiah
King
of
Judah
.
AMasias
,
or
Amasiah
,
signifies
,
the
strength
of
Iehovah
.
This
man
was
twenty
five
years
of
Age
when
he
was
enthronised
by
his
Father
,
about
the
second
year
of
Ioas
King
of
Israel
,
Anno
mundi
,
3108
,
and
before
Christ
806.
He
ruled
the
Kingdom
while
his
Father
was
sick
,
one
year
,
and
after
his
decease
twenty
eight
:
so
all
the
years
of
his
Reign
were
twenty
nine
.
He
went
with
an
Army
from
Ierusalem
to
Saelag
,
that
is
to
the
Tower
or
Rock
of
Mount
Seir
,
forty
miles
towards
the
South
:
here
,
in
the
Valley
of
Salt
,
he
put
to
death
a
multitude
of
the
Idumaeans
.
And
although
this
Town
was
very
strongly
scituated
,
yet
he
won
it
,
and
called
it
Ioctiel
,
that
is
,
the
Year
of
the
Lord
;
because
God
in
that
place
heard
his
Prayers
;
being
derived
of
Iakah
and
El
,
which
is
,
God
hath
heard
.
Near
to
this
Town
Amasiah
commanded
10000
Idumaeans
,
which
he
had
taken
in
War
,
to
be
cast
down
headlong
from
the
top
of
an
high
Rock
into
a
deep
Valley
,
in
which
fall
their
bones
were
shattered
all
to
pieces
,
and
they
died
miserably
,
2
Reg.
14.
From
Selag-Ioctiel
he
returned
to
Ierusalem
,
being
forty
miles
;
where
he
began
to
worship
the
Gods
of
the
Idumaeans
that
he
brought
along
with
him
,
2
Chron.
24.
From
Ierusalem
he
went
to
Bethsemes
,
and
there
was
overcome
by
Joas
King
of
Israel
,
which
was
four
miles
,
2
Chron.
25.
From
Bethsemes
,
Ioas
led
Amasiah
back
again
to
Ierusalem
captive
,
being
four
miles
,
2
Reg.
14.
From
Ierusalem
he
fled
to
the
City
of
Lachis
,
which
was
twenty
miles
,
and
there
was
slain
by
his
own
Servants
,
2
Chron.
25.
From
Lachis
his
carkass
was
carried
back
again
to
Ierusalem
,
twenty
miles
▪
where
it
was
buried
in
the
City
of
David

So
all
his
Travels
were
128
miles
.
The
Travels
of
Azariah
,
or
Uzziah
,
King
of

.
THIS
man
succeeded
his
Father
Amasia
(
in
the
year
of
the
World
3138
,
and
before
Christ
,
830
)
when
he
was
but
sixteen
years
of
age
,
and
reigned
fifty
two
years
;
his
Mothers
name
was
Iecoliah
of
Ierusalem
.
He
did
those
things
which
were
upright
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
Town
(
it
being
a
famous
Mart-Town
,
scituated
upon
the
Red
Sea
)
and
fortified
it
,
because
Resin
,
King
of
the
Syrians
,
in
times
past
,
for
want
of
due
fortification
,
won
it
,
and
destroyed
it
,
2
Chron.
26.
From
Elah
he
returned
to
Ierusalem
,
160
miles
.
After
he
went
from
Ierusalem
to
Gath
,
a
City
of
the
Philistines
,
which
was
accounted
thirty
four
miles
;
this
Town
he
won
,
beat
down
the
Walls
,
and
destroyed
the
Bulwarks
thereof
.
From
thence
he
went
to
Iabnia
,
which
is
twenty
four
miles
,
and
broke
down
the
Walls
thereof
,
2
Chron.
26.
From
thence
he
went
to
Azotus
or
Asdod
,
which
was
eight
miles
,
2
Chron.
26.
From
Asdod
he
went
again
to
Ierusalem
,
being
twenty
two
miles
.
Within
a
while
after
,
he
gathered
an
Army
,
and
went
from
Ierusalem
to
Gur-Baal
,
that
is
,
Gerar
;
where
he
overcame
the
Arabians
in
a
great
Battel
,
which
was
thirty
two
miles
,
2
Chron.
26.
From
Gerar
he
returned
to
Ierusalem
,
being
thirty
two
miles
.
He
went
from
Ierusalem
that
third
time
into
the
Land
of
the
Ammonites
,
sixty
miles
;
which
People
he
conquered
,
and
made
Tributary
to
him
▪
so
that
he
was
made
Famous
through
all
the
Countries
thereabout
,
even
to
the
utmost
part
of
Aegypt
,
because
of
his
often
Victories
and
Triumphs
,
2
Chron
26.
Out
of
the
land
of
the
Ammonites
he
returned
to
Ierusalem
,
being
sixty
miles
.
But
now
,
being
lift
up
with
the
Prosperity
of
Fortune
,
and
not
content
with
his
Regal
Dignity
,
he
endeavoured
to
have
chief
Authority
over
the
Priests
also
▪
for
which
cause
he
went
into
that
part
of
the
Temple
where
the
Altar
of
sweet
Incense
stood
(
where
it
was
lawful
for
none
to
go
but
the
Priests
)
and
there
took
upon
him
to
offer
sweet
Incense
;
but
as
he
was
offering
,
the
Lord
struck
him
with
Leprosie
,
so
that
he
was
constrained
to
dwell
in
a
house
by
himself
separated
from
the
Congregation
;
and
his
Son
Iotham
governed
in
his
stead
all
the
days
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
,

So

Ierusalem
towards

;
between
Ezion-Gaber
and
Midian
.
This
City
Resin
King
of
the
Syrians
conquered
;
but
Azariah
King
of
Iudah
drove
thence
the
Syrians
,
and
made
it
so
strong
,
that
it
seemed
impossible
to
be
conquered
.
It
took
the
name
of
abundance
of
Oaks
,
which
(
as
it
seemeth
)
grew
about
that
place
;
for
Elah

signifies
,
a
kind
of
Oak
Tree

(
of

there
is
great
plenty
in

so
called

THIS
was
a

near
to
Ioppa

16

THIS

sometimes
travelled

it

thirty
two

Here
the
Iews

afterwards
worshipped

therefore
this

in

was
called

one
and
fortieth
year
of
his
age
.
His
Mothers
name
was
Ichruscha
,
so
called
from
an
Inheritance
or
Possession
.
He
began
his
Reign
in
the
second
year
of
Pekah
King
of
Israel
,
and
continued
it
unitl
the
seventeenth
year
of
his
Government
,

When
this
noble
Prince
had
rebuilded
and
richly
adorned
the
House
of
the
Lord
,
he
went
from
Ierusalem
and
invaded
the
Country
of
the
Ammonites
,
(
which
was
sixty
miles
,
)
conquered
their
King
,
and
made
the
whole
Land
pay
him
Tribute
,
even
a
hundred
Talents
of
Silver
of
the
common
weight
,
10000
measures
of
Wheat
,
and
10000
of
Barley
yearly
.
This
Tribute
continued
three
years
.
From
the
Land
of
the
Ammonites
he
went
back
to
Ierusalem
,
which
was
sixty
miles
;
where
,
after
he
had
adorned
the
Temple
with
many
princely
buildings
,
he
dyed
;
about
the
one
and
fortieth
year
of
his
age

So
all
his
Travels
were
120
miles

Of
Ahaz
King
of
Judah
.
AHAZ
signifies
Apprehending
,
or
a
Possessor
.
He
began
to
reign
after
the
death
of
his
Father
Iotham
,
about
the
end
of
the
seventeenth
year
of
Pekah
King
of
Israel
,
Anno
Mundi
,
3205
,
before
Christ
,
762.
He
reigned
wickedly
16
years
,
2
Reg.
16.
2
Chr.
28.
For
he
was
a
notorious
Hypocrite
,
who
out
of
a
perverse
Zeal
,
worshipped
many
Idols
,
and
burnt
his
Son
in
the
Valley
of
Gehinnon
,
as
an
Offering
unto
Moloch
;
wherefore
he
was
unhappy
in
his
Government
;
for
God
stirred
up
mighty
enemies
against
,
even
Re●in
▪
King
of
Syria
,
and
Pekah
King
of
Israel
,
who
wasted
and
destroyed
his
Kingdom
and
(
streightly
besieging
Ierusalem
)
conquered
Ahaz
in
a
great
Battel
,
and
put
to
the
Sword
120000
of
his
men
.
After
that
Resin
,
returned
to
Elath
,
and
took
it
:
so
that
he
lost
more
then
his
Father
had
gotten
.
Where
being
struck
into
a
great
fear
by
reason
of
these
adversities
,
he
sent
to
crave
the
Aid
of
Tiglasse
▪
Phulasser
King
of
the
Assyrians
,
who
at
his
request
sent
a
great
Army
from
Niniveh
to
Damascus
,
520
miles
,
and
there
overcame
Resin
,
and
put
him
to
death
,
and
took
captive
242000
of
the
people
of
Damascus
,
and
sent
them
into
Cyren
a
Country
of
Africa

The
Travels
of
Ahaz
.
KING
Ahaz
went
from
Ierusalem
to
Damascus
,
which
was
160
miles
,
to
meet
Tiglath-Phulasser
King
of
the
Assyrians
,
to
rejoyce
with
him
for
his
happy
Victory
,
and
give
him
thanks
for
his
aid
and
assistance
:
where
,
when
he
saw
the
Altar
at
Damascus
to
be
very
glorious
,
he
sent
for
Vrijah
the
chief
Priest
,
who
took
a
patern
thereof
,
and
carried
it
with
him
to
Ierusalem
,
where
he
made
an
Altar
like
unto
it
,
2
Reg.
16.
From
D●mascus
he
returned
back
again
160
miles
.
So
his
Travels
were
320
miles
.
But
yet
Ahaz
continued
in
his
perverse
Impiety
and
Idolatry
,
without
any
regard
or
fear
of
God
,
therefore
he
stirred
up
other
Enemies
against
him
,
viz.
the
Idumeans
,
who
took
a
great
multitude
of
them
captive
;
and
the
Philistines
,
who
with
their
Army
broke
into
the
South
part
of
the
Tribe
of
Iudah
,
and
took
these
Cities
following
,
viz
,
Bethsemes
,
Ajalon
,
Timnath
,
Socho
,
Geder●th
,
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
miles
towards
the
South-West
,
and
stands
near
to
the
Castle
of
Emaus
,
being
compassed
about
with
a
Hedge
,
from
whence
it
seemeth
to
take
the
name
;
for
Gadar
is
as
much
as
to
say
,
he
hath
hedged
about
.
Gi●so
was
also
in
the
Tribe
of
Iudah
,
but
in
what
place
is
not
certainly
known
.
Thus
King
Ahaz
all
the
days
of
his
Life
did
evil
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord
;
for
which
,
God
punished
him
and
all
the
Land
;
and
in
the
sixteenth
year
of
his
Reign
he
died
,
and
was
buried
with
his
Fathers
in
the
City
of
David
.
The
Travel●
of
Ezekias
King
of
Judah
.
EZ●kias
(
which
signifies
the
Champion
of
Iehovah
)
was
born
when
his
Father
was
but
thirteen
years
of
age
,
which
made
many
Questions
whether
he
should
succeed
him
as
his
lawful
Heir
in
his
Kingdom
,
because
they
doubted
whether
he
was
lawfully
begotten
.
For
if
you
do
observe
the
order
and
course
of
the
years
and
Chronologie
in
the
Scripture
,
you
shall
find
,
that
from
the
beginning
of
the
thirteenth
year
of
the
age
of
Ahaz
,
to
the
first
year
of
the
Reign
of
this
King
Ezekias
,
make
just
twenty
five
years
:
Ezekias
therefore
began
to
reign
after
the
death
of
his
Father
Ahaz
,
about
the
end
of
the
third
year
of
Hosea
King
of
Israel
,
2
Reg.
19.
Anno
mun
,
3222
,
before
Christ
,
746
,
being
then
about
twenty
five
years
of
age
,
a
little
before
Easter
,
as
it
appeareth
,
2
Chron.
29.
He
governed
that
Kingdom
with
great
Commendations
twenty
nine
years
.
The
first
Journey
that
he
●ook
was
from
Ierusalem
to
Gaza
,
which
was
forty
four
miles
,
there
he
overcame
the
Army
of
the
Philistines
,
and
recovered
all
those
Cities
which
his
Father
Ahaz
had
lost
,
according
to
that
in
the
Prophet
Esay
,
cap.
15.
2
Reg.
18.
From
Gaza
he
returned
to
Ierusalem
,
which
was
forty
four
miles
;
there
he
broke
down
the
places
for
Idolatry
,
and
the
brazen
Serpent
made
by
Moses
in
the
Wilderness
,
and
called
it
Nehustan
,
a
Brazen
thing
that
hath
nothing
in
it self
of
a
Divine
nature
,
and
could
neither
profit
nor
hurt
,
therefore
ought
not
to
be
worshipped
.
This
Brazen
Serpent
was
kept
in
memory
of
that
Sign
that
God
shewed
unto
the
Children
of
Israel
in
the
Desart
,
when
they
were
bitten
and
stung
to
death
by
fiery
Serpents
,
for
looking
upon
this
Brazen
Serpent
they
were
healed
.
But
now
because
of
the
abuse
thereof
by
the
Iews
,
which
turned
it
into
Idolatry
,
it
was
broken
to
pieces
,
Num.

2
Reg.

So
all
the
Travels
of
Ezechias
were
eighty
eight
miles
.
In
the
fourteenth
year
of
the
Reign
of
Ezekias
,
and
in
the
thirty
eighth
year
of
his
age
,
Senacharib
(
that
mighty
Emperour
of
the
Assyrians
)
having
taken
many
Towns
and
Cities
in
the
holy-Land
,
would
have
also
besieged
Ierusalem
,
and
for
that
purpose
sent
from
Lachis
(
which
was
twenty
miles
distant
from
Ierusalem
)
Thartan
,
Rabsarim
,
and
Rabsacha
,
three
mighty
Princes
,
Embassadors
,
with
a
great
Train
to
attend
them
.
These
men
went
about
the
City
,
to
see
in
what
part
it
was
most
subject
to
battery
,
and
might
easiest
be
got
:
so
when
they
came
to
the
Conduit
of
the
upper
Pool
,
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
Son
of
Hilkiah
(
which
was
Hezekia's
Steward
)
Shebna
the
Chancellor
,
and
Ioah
the
Son
of
Asaph
,
the
Recorder
,
went
upon
the
Wall
:
then
Rabsacha
uttered
blasphemous
words
against
the
Lord
:
but
Ezekias
when
he
had
heard
what
the
Enemy
had
said
,
called
all
the
Elders
of
Ierusalem
together
,
and
sent
for
Isaiah
the
Prophet
,
the
Son
of
Amos
,
and
they
went
into
the
Temple
of
the
Lord
and
prayed
.
Wherefore
the
Lord
heard
their
Prayers
,
and
sent
his
Angel
into
the
Camp
of
the
Assyrians
,
and
lo
,
in
one
night
there
were
slain
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
South-West
.
This
great
deliverance
happen'd
in
the
year
of
the
World
3253
,
and
before
Christ
,
733.
About
the
end
of
the
thirty
eighth
year
of
the
age
of
Ezekiah
,
he
fell
into
a
dangerous
disease
,
which
so
far
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
servent
Prayers
he
was
restored
to
Health
,
and
his
days
were
lengthened
fifteen
years
:
at
which
time
the
Sun
went
back
ten
Degrees
,
according
to
the
variation
of
the
shadow
in
the
Dyal
of

But
at
the
end
of
the
fifteen
years
,
which
was
about
the
fifty
fourth
year
of
his
age
,
he
dyed
,
and
was
buried
with
his
Fathers
.
The
Travels
of
Manasses
.
MAnasses
,
or
Manasseh
,
signifieth
forgetting
,
or
he
hath
forgotten
.
This
man
was
twelve
years
old
when
he
succeeded
his
Father
Ezekiah
in
the
Kingdom
of
Iudah
:
he
began
to
reign
Anno
mundi
,
3251
,
and
before
Christ
,
717.
This
King
was
a
great
Idolater
,
and
one
that
put
the
Prophets
of
the
Lord
to
death
,
so
that
it
was
wonderful
to
see
what
Tyranny
and
mischief
he
wrought
in
Israel
:
wherefore
the
Lord
stirred
up
the
Assyrians
against
him
,
who
overcame
him
in
a
great
Battel
,
and
took
him
Captive
,
carrying
him
bound
in
Chains
from
Ierusalem
to
Babylon
,
even
680
miles
.
But
after
,
being
humbled
by
his
afflictions
,
he
came
to
a
knowledge
of
himself
,
and
repenting
for
his
former
evil
,
humbling
himself
with
prayer
and
fasting
under
the
hand
of
God
:
wherefore
the
Lord
took
compassion
of
him
,
and
stirred
up
the
mind
of
the
King
of
Babylon
to
mercy
,
so
that
he
loosed
his
bands
,
and
sent
him
back
again
to
Ierusalem
,
680
miles
.
From
that
time
forward
he
left
Idolatry
,
and
worshipped
the
true
God
:
adorned
the
Temple
of
the
Lord
with
many
fair
and
beautiful
Buildings
,
and
in
the
five
and
fiftieth
year
of
his
age
he
died
,
and
was
buried
in
the
Kings
Garden
,

He
reigned
two
years
,
and
then
,
because
of
his
exceeding
Idolatry
,
the
Lord
cast
him
off
,
when
he
was
about
twenty
four
years
of
age
;
near
which
time

some
of
his
Servants
conspired

his

this
Town
stood
from

not

This
good
King
went
from
Ierusalem
,
to
Bethel
,
which
was
eight
miles
;
there
he
burnt
upon
the
Altar
which
Ieroboam
built
,
the
bones
of
the
Priests
of

Feast
and
great

In
the
last

he
went
with
his
Army
from

to

,
being
forty
four

,
against
Pharaoh

of

From

and
there
with
great

honourably

This
was

(

)
who
,
by
the
permission

the
Great
,
was
suffered
to
be
King
of
Iudah
after
his
Brother
,
when
he
was
one
and
twenty
years
of
age
.
He
began
to
reign
about

fled

was

From

he
was

had
caused

had

led
him
captive
to

was

where
he
died
miserably

the
Sins
of

should
be
grievously
punished
upon
the
People

In
the
like
manner
,
from

of
the
thirteenth
year
of
Iosiah
,
wherein
Ieremie
first
began
to
Prophecy
,

forty
years
:
which
by
Ezek.

are
called
the
years
of
the
Iniquity
of
Iudah
,
because
so
long
the
Iews
did
contemn
and
despise
the
admonition
of
the
Prophet
Ieremie
.
Of
Babylon
.
HOw
far
this
City
stood
from
Ierusalem
,
you
may
read
before
;
which
by
the
Chaldaeans
is
called
Shinear
,
or
Sinear
,
and
signifies
,
To
strike
upon
the
Teeth
,
being
derived
of
Schen
,
A
tooth
,
and
Naer
,
to
strike
.
It
may
also
be
taken
for
that
,
when
a
man
endeavoured
with
all
speed
to
execute
a
thing
;
which
seems
to
resemble
the
condition
of
Nimrod
:
for
that
in
this
place
he
endeavoured
to
overcome
and
conquer
all
his
Neighbours
:
from
whence
this
Land
was
called
Casdius
,
that
is
,
The
Country
of
the
Destroyer
.
So
changing
S
into
L
,
it
is
called
Chaldeus
or
Chaldaea
.
The
Chief
and
Metropolitan
City
of
which
Country
was
this
Babylon
,
built
some
thirty
years
after
the
Floud
by
Nimrod
,
or
the
Babylonian
Saturn
,
the
first
great
Commander
of
the
World
,
according
to
Berosus
,
lib.
4.
who
writeth
after
this
manner
:
Nimrod
,
which
was
accounted
the
Son
of
Iupiter
Belus
,
being
angry
with
the
Holy
Priests
of
that
great
God
Iehovah
,
came
with
his
Colony
and
People
into
the
Field
of
Sinear
,
where
he
built
a
City
,
and
laid
the
Foundation
of
a
great
Tower
,
131
years
after
the
Flood
;
and
raised
this
Tower
to
such
a
height
,
and
withal
of
such
a
hugeness
,
that
it
seemed
as
if
it
had
been
some
great
Mountain
;
because
he
would
have
the
Babylonian
People
accounted
the
chiefest
and
greatest
in
the
World
;
also
their
Governour
,
the
King
of
Kings
.
A
little
after
he
saith
,
he
built
this
Tower
,
but
before
he
could
finish
it
,
dyed
,
in
the
fifty
sixth
year
after
he
began
it
:
wherefore
the
City
and
Tower
of
Babylon
,
according
to
the
Opinion
of
Berosus
,
was
begun
in
Anno
Mundi
,
1788
,
which
was
131
years
after
the
Flood
,
and
before
Christ
,
2180.
There
were
two
causes
wherefore
the
Children
of
Men
built
up
this
Tower
;
first
,
that
they
might
get
them
a
name
:
secondly
,
that
they
might
be
safe
in
case
there
came
another
Flood
to
drown
the
World
.
It
was
made
of
Brick
and
Bittum
,
lest
the
Water
should
loosen
it
.
But
the
Lord
turned
their
Enterprises
into
evil
,
and
divided
their
Language
,
so
that
they
could
not
understand
one
another
[
whereby
they
were
constrained
to
leave
off
their
building
:
]
from
whence
it
happened
that
their
Minds
,
Manners
,
Understandings
,
Studies
,
and
principal
Actions
were
utterly
changed
,
and
is
the
Foundation
of
all
discord
and
sedition
,
where
the
fear
of
God
,
and
the
true
knowledge
of
Christ
doth
not
prevent
it
.
From
this
division
of
Tongues
,
it
is
called
the
City
of
Babylon
,
this
is
the
City
of
Division
;
being
derived
of
the
word
Balal
,
he
hath
confounded
or
mingled
together
.
Of
this
City
you
may
read
in
Ios.
lib.
I.
cap.
9.
where
he
bringeth
in
a
saying
of
the
Sibyls
,
which
was
,
That
when
all
Nations
were
of
one
Language
,
they
built
an
exceeding
high
Tower
,
as
though
they
would
have
ascended
by
it
into
Heaven
;
but
the
Lord
with
great
tempest
and
dividing
their
Tongues
,
subverted
their
enterprize
,
from
whence
it
was
called
Babylon
.
This
City
was
the
fairest
in
those
times
of
all
others
,
scituated
in
a
spacious
Plain
,
upon
every
side
whereof
there
stood
pleasant
Orchards
and
Gardens
:
it
was
built
four
square
,
conpassed
about
with
Walls
of
incredible
strength
and
greatness
,
being
fifty
Cubits
thick
,
and
200
high
,
beautified
within
with
goodly
Buildings
,
fair
Temples
richly
gilt
with
Gold
,
and
wonderful
to
look
upon
.
It
was
in
compass
380
Furlongs
,
as
Strabo
saith
,
which
make
forty
eight
miles
.
Through
it
ran
the
River
Euphrates
,
by
which
all
things
necessary
were
conveyed
to
the
City
;
without
,
it
was
compassed
with
fair
Ditches
,
fill'd
with
water
like
Rivers
,
and
in
the
Wall
there
stood
a
hundred
Gates
.
Herodotus
saith
,
that
it
was
480
Furlongs
about
,
which
make
sixty
miles
English
,
but
that
is
not
so
credible
.
The
first
Founder
of
this
City
was
Nimrod
,
who
in
those
times
was
the
chief
Commander
of
the
World
.
It
is
thought
that
he
was
the
Son
of
Cham
,
the
Son
of
Noah
;
whose
name
signifies
,
a
cruel
Governour
,
or
an
unmerciful
Tyrant
.
And
that
his
Actions
might
be
according
to
the
signification
of
his
name
,
he
is
branded
with
most
perspicious
notes
of
Cruelty
,
omitting
no
violent
action
whereby
he
might
inlarge
his
Dominions
;
incroaching
upon
other
mens
Governments
,
through
a
thirsty
and
ambitious
desire
of
Renown
,
without
respect
of
Equity
or
Humanity
.
And
to
add
evil
to
evil
,
committed
many
outrages
upon
such
as
were
accounted
good
men
,
and
the
Priests
of
the
great
God
Iehovah
,
from
whence
there
grew
in
him
a
more
than
humane
resolution
,
accounting
himself
in
this
World
a
God
,
and
thorough
this
opinion
grew
into
contempt
of
all
good
things
;
compelling
such
as
were
his
Subjects
and
Vassals
to
do
him
Worship
and
Reverence
as
to
a
Divine
Power
;
which
,
being
ingraf●ed
into
the
hearts
of
such
as
followed
in
succeeding
Ages
,
they
countenanced
it
with
Authority
:
from
whence
it
came
to
pass
,
that
he
was
inrolled
into
the
number
of
their
principal
Gods
,
giving
him
the
name
of
Saturn
,
whom
the
Hebrews
called
Sudormin
,
which
elegantly
implyeth
Saturn
.
Berosus
saith
,
that
the
Babylonian
Iupiter
succeeded
this
Nimrod
,
whose
Authority
I
am
willing
to
follow
,
to
avoid
prolixity
.
This
man
so
much
inlarged
the
City
,
that
many
in
succeeding
ages
have
attributed
the
foundation
thereof
unto
him
.
He
ruled
over
it
sixty
one
years
.
After
him
succeeded
Ninus
,
or
,
as
some
would
have
it
,
Nimrod
the
second
;
who
began
his
Reign
Anno
Mundi
,
1909
,
before
Christ
,
2061
:
he
did
many
worthy
Acts
during
his
life
,
and
added
to
the
Empire
of
Babylon
many
Provinces
;
and
after
he
had
reigned
fifty
years
,
dyed
,
and
was
buried
in
Babylon
.
After
him
succeeded
Semiramis
,
his
Wife
,
who
took
upon
her
the
Government
of
the
Assyrian
Empire
,
her
Son
Ninus
being
then
within
age
,
and
she
began
her
Government
,
Anno
Mundi
,
1959
before
Christ
,
2009.
She
was
one
of
the
manliest
and
resolute
Women
that
we
read
of
,
and
performed
as
many
worthy
and
memorable
Actions
.
This
Queen
built
her
Sepulchre
over
the
most
eminent
Gate
of
Babylon
,
in
a
publick
and
perspicious
place
,
upon
which
she
caused
to
be
written
in
Golden
letters
,
If
there
be
any
King
of
Babylon
that
shall
come
after
me
,
and
stand
in
need
of
Money
,
let
him
open
this
Sepulchre
,
and
what
soever
he
wanteth
he
shall
find
:
but
before
,
it
will
not
be
good
for
him
to
touch
it
.
This
notwithstanding
,
it
continued
till
the
Reign
of
Darius
,
who
opened
this
Monument
in
hope
to
find
what
the
Superscription
imported
;
but
no
Mony
was
there
to
be
had
,
only
within
might
plainly
be
seen
ingraven
other
Letters
to
this
effect
:
Vnless
thou
hadst
been
un●●tiably
Covetous
,
thou
wouldst
never
have
opened
the
Graves
of
the
Dead
in
hope
of
gain
.
This
Woman
beautified
Babylon
with
many
goodly
Buildings
,
built
up
the
Walls
thereof
,
set
a
Bridge
over
Euphrates
,
made
a
beautiful
Orchard
and
a
Garden
in
it
,
beautified
it
with
many
goodly
Towers
and
Fortifications
,
added
unto
it
many
Provinces
and
Governments
:
and
after
all
,
because
of
her
own
lascivious
Appetite
(
as
Sallust
saith
)
was
murthered
by
her
Son
Ninus
,
who
succeeded
her
in
the
Government
.
There
were
many
other
memorable
things
within
this
City
,
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
Chappel
,
wherein
was
the
Statue
of
Iupiter
▪
all
of
pure
Gold
,
worth
[

](A30018-e103130-b)
*
What
this
was
in
our
Mony
,
you
may
see
after
.
800
Talents
of
Gold
.
Without
that
Chappel
there
stood
an
Altar
of
pure
Gold
,
upon
which
they
yearly
offered
100000
Talents
of
Frankincense
.
There
was
another
also
somewhat
less
,
upon
which
they
used
to
offer
their
Sacrifices
;
for
it
was
not
lawful
for
them
to
offer
any
thing
that
had
life
upon
the
greater
Altar
:
there
stood
also
in
that
place
another
Statue
twelve
cubits
high
,
all
of
pure
Gold
.
This
City
was
after
taken
by
Cyrus
,
the
first
Emperour
of
the
Persians
,
An.
Mundi
,
3432.
before
Christ
,
536
,
in
the
seventieth
year
after
the
Captivity
of
Israel
and
Iudah
,
according
to
the
Prophecy
of
Ieremy
;
at
which
time
the
City
was
so
great
,
that
they
which
dwelt
in
the
middle
of
it
did
not
know
that
the
Enemy
had
entered
within
the
Walls
at
the
farther
end
:
which
might
happen
,
because
upon
that
day
when
it
was
taken
the
Babylonians
celebrated
a
Feast
unto
Venus
,
in
which
using
extraordinary
diligence
,
they
were
less
mindful
of
such
things
as
hapned
unto
them
.
Thus
this
City
,
that
with
great
Tyranny
had
triumphed
over
the
Nations
of
the
earth
for
the
space
of
1600
years
(
being
so
plentifully
furnished
with
all
things
necessary
for
the
maintenance
of
life
,
that
the
Inhabitants
thereof
contemned
all
other
People
)
was
by
God's
permission
,
for
their
pride
and
presumption
,
wasted
and
consumed
by
Cyrus
,
as
you
have
heard
:
and
shortly
after
utterly
destroyed
by
Xerxes
,
the
fourth
Emperour
of
the

Of
the
Ruines
of
old
Babylon
that
are
extant
at
this
day
.
BAbylon
(
which
as
you
have
heard
reigned
over
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
Town
,
close
by
where
it
stood
,
called
Elugo
,
or
Felugo
,
scituated
upon
the
Bank
of
the
River
Euphrates
.
Not
far
from
which
,
it
seems
there
is
a
profitable
Harbour
for
Ships
,
where
Merchants
often
times
go
a
shore
,
and
travel
thence
through
many
Woods
and
desart
places
,
unto
Seleucia
,
which
at
this
day
is
called
by
the
Turks
,
Bagdeth
,
distant
thence
some
thirty
six
miles
,
and
is
the
utmost
Town
of
the
Turkish
and
Persian
Empires
towards
the
East
,
being
divided
in
the
midst
by
the
River
Tygris
.
Some
Merchants
have
reported
,
That
the
place
where
Babylon
stood
is
become
stony
,
unfruitful
,
and
unpleasant
,
because
of
the
Ruins
of
the
destroyed
buildings
which
lye
in
the
Earth
.
Also
,
That
there
is
found
a
Tower
built
of
a
black
stone
,
which
to
outward
appearance
seems
to
have
been
a
very
goodly
house
,
high
and
eminent
;
so
that
upon
the
top
thereof
a
man
might
have
seen
through
the
whole
City
.
This
Tower
the
Inhabitants
of
Felugo
call
the
Tower
of
Daniel
,
in
which
was
the
Chamber
where
he
used
to
pray
to
the
Lord
three
times
a
day
,
the
Windows
whereof
looked
towards
Ierusalem
,
Dan.
6.
There
is
also
to
be
seen
divers
Arches
of
the
Bridge
which
Semiramis
built
,
standing
upon
the
River
Euphrates
,
and
the
foundation
of
the
great
Tower
whose
top
should
have
reached
to
Heaven
;
being
in
compass
two
miles
,
but
not
very
high
.
Within
the
Ruins
whereof
are
found
certain
Serpents
very
noisom
and
venemous
,
about
the
bigness
of
a
Lizard
,
having
three
heads
,
and
spect
with
divers
colours
,
which
the
Inhabitants
call
Eglones
.
There
are
such
a
multitude
of
them
,
that
no
man
dares
approach
within
half
a
mile
of
it
any
time
but
in
the
Winter
season
,
nor
then
neither
but
for
the
space
of
a
Month
;
in
which
time
these
Serpents
for
the
extremity
of
the
cold
are
constrained
to
keep
their
holes
.
Thus
,
as
this
Tower
was
hateful
to
God
in
the
beginning
,
so
likewise
hath
he
made
it
hurtful
unto
man
even
to
this
day
.

,
and
governed
forty
eight

.
This
King
or
Emperour
came
from

to
Samaria
,
which
was
660
miles
.
There
he
so
streightly
besieged
Menahem

signifies
,
the
Assyrian
Conquerour

He
was
also
called
Tiglath
Philasser
,
2
Reg.

which
name
is
attributed
to
him
,
either
because
he
carried
away
the
Children
of
Israel
captives
,
or
else
because
of
the
Conquest
that
he
had
of
all
Galilee
,
and
over
the
Tribe
of
Naphtaly
,
which
he
carried
into

He
succeeded

Phul
Belochus
in
the
Government
of
the
Assyrians
,
An.
Mundi
3197.
before
Christ

and
reigned
twenty
five
years
.
When
Re●n
King
of
the
Assyrians
(
joyning
his
Army
with
Pekah
Son
of
Remalia
King
of
Israel
,
)
had
streightly
besieged
Ierusalem
,
Ahaz
was
constrained
to
crave
aid
of
this
Tiglath
Phulasser
,
and
sent
him
great
Presents
,
which
he
accepted
kindly
,
and
brought
his
Army
from
Niniveh
to
Damascus
,
520
miles
;
where
he
put
Re●n
,
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
overcame
Pek●h
in
a
great
Battel
(
conquered
all
the
land
of
Gilead
and
the
tribe
of
Naphtaly
,
and
put
a
great
multitude
of
the
Israelites
into
perpetual
Exile
;
2
Reg.

From
thence
he
went
back
to
Niniveh
,
640
miles
.
A
little
after
this
,
King
Tiglath
Phulasser
went
from
Niniveh
to
Ierusalem
,
680
miles
,
where
he
so
streightly
besieged
that
wicked
King
Ahaz
,
that
he
was

to
give

From

he

excellent

He
began
to
reign
upon

26
of
February
,
An.
Mundi
3221
,
before
Christ
747
,
and
reigned
ten
years
or
thereabout
.
This
man
went
with
his
Army
from
Niniveh
to
Samaria
,
being
652
miles
,
where
he
compelled
Hosea
,
the
last
King
of
Israel
,
to
pay
him
tribute
,
2

From
thence
he
returned
back
again
with
his
Army
to
Nineveh
,
652
miles
.
After
,
when
Hosea
King
of
Israel
(
conspiring
with
So
King
of
Egypt
)
denied
to
pay
him
Tribute
,
he
returned
back
again
the
second
time
to
Samaria
,
being
652
miles
,
and
after
three
years
siege
,
he
took
and
destroyed
it
with
Fire
and
Sword
,
and
conquered
all
the
Countrey
round
about
.
From
Samaria
he
returned
back
again
to
Nineveh
,
652
miles
.
So
all
the
Travels
of
Salmanasser
King
of
the
Assyrians
were

The

King
of

He
succeeded
his
Father
Salmanasser
,
An.
Mund.
3231.
before
Christ
,
737.
He
reigned
seven
years
.
This
man
,
imitating
his
Father
,
endeavoured
to
carry
away
the
rest
of
Gods
People
into
Captivity
:
for
which
purpose
he
brought
an
Army
from
Nineveh
to
Lachis
,
which
was
700
miles
,
which
Town
he
besieged
,
and
sent
his
Princes
to
Ierusalem
,
being
twenty
miles
,
where
he
blasphemed
the
Lord
:
of
which
you
may
read
more
in
the
History
of
King
Hezekiah
.
From
Lachis
he
went
to
Libnah
,
eight
miles
.
This
was
a
strong
Hold
,
but
he
besieged
it
so
narrowly
,
that
within
a
while
after
he
had
begun
the
Siege
,
he
took
it
.
While
he
was
before
this
Town
,
there
came
News
,
that
Taracha
King
of
the
Ethiopians
had
invaded
his
Countrey
.
Wherefore
he
sent
the
second
time
Messengers
to
Ierusalem
.
But
the
Lord
was
offended
with
their
blasphemy
,
wherefore
he
sent
his
Angel
,
who
in
one
Night
destroyed
185000
of
his
Army
.
This
sudden
and
unexpected
evil
falling
upon
him
,
in
a
great
fear
he
returned
to
Niniveh
,
692
miles
,
where
he
was
slain
by
his
Sons
in
the
Temple
.
The
fame
of
these
things
was
so
divulged
abroad
,
that
Herodotus
,
lib.
2.
makes
mention
of
them
.
So
these
three
Journeys

miles
.
Of
Lachis
and
Libnah
you
may

Of
Assarhaddon
King
of
the
Assyrians
.
ASsarhaddon
(
his
father
Senacharib
being
slain
)
succeeded
in
the
Government
,
Anno
Mundi
3238
,
which
agreeth
with
the
730
year
before
Christ
,
and
reigned
ten
years
in
Niniveh
,
the
chief
City
of
the
Assyrians
.
Here
again
the
mutation
and
change
of
Kingdoms
may
be
observed
;
for
Merodach
,
a
Chaldaean
,
rebelling
against
Senacharib
,
continued
his
Government
in
Babylon
eleven
years
,
that
is
,
during
a
part
of
the
Reign
of
Senacharib
,
and
all
the
Reign
of
Assarhaddon
his
Son
;
in
which
time
he
conquered
the
Assyrians
,
and
made
them
subject
to
the
Empire

the
Babylonians
.
Of
Merodach
,
the
first
Emperour
of
the
Babylonians
.
MErodach
signifieth
,
a
bitter
repentance
.
He
was
the
Son
of
Baladan
,
Prince
of
Babylon
,
who
ruled
at
such
time
as
Senacharib
had
that
grievous
overthrow
in
Iudah
.
Wherefore
taking
advantage
of
the
time
,
and
the
necessity
of
that
Prince
,
he
rebelled
against
him
and
his
Son
Assarhaddon
taking
upon
him
the
absolute
command
of
the
City
and
whole
Empire
.
The
beginning
of
whose
Reign
happened
in
the
year
of
the
World
3236
,
and
before
Christ
732.
This
Merodach
sent
to
Ierusalem
wise
and
learned
men
with
Gifts
and
Presents
to
King
Ezekiah
,
just
in
that
year
when
the
Sun
went
back
ten
Degrees
,
to
know
the
truth
of
this
Miracle
.
For
it
was
a
custom
amongst
the
Nations
round
about
Ierusalem
,
(
if
any
thing
happened
beyond
the
expectation
of
man
)
to
send
thither
to
inquire
the
truth
thereof
.
Such
and
so
Wise
a
People
were
the
Iews
esteemed
in
those
times
,
as
may
appear
by
divers
places
of
the
Holy
Scripture
.
In

beginning
of

twelfth

this
King

Assa●haddon
Emperour
of
the
Assyrians
died
;
after

death
he
became
Emperour

went
about
eighty
miles
into

Countrey
of
Egypt

which
Pharaoh

was
abashed
,
and
turned
back
again

In
the
absence
of
this
Emperour
,
Ieremy
the
Prophet
being
then
within
the
City
,
having
foretold
the
Destruction
thereof
,
would
have
fled
thence
for
his
better
safety
,
into
the
Tribe
of
Benjamin
:
but
by
the
way
he
was
taken
in
the
Gate
of
Benjamin
,
and
cast
into
Prison

Within
a
while
after
,
according
to
the
Prophecy
of
Ieremy
,
Nebuchadnezzar
returned
out
of
the
Desart
of
Sur
,
whither
he
went
to
meet
the
Aegyptians
,
being
eighty
miles
,
and
utterly
destroyed
the
City
of

carrying
thence

From
Ierusalem
he
went

where
he
put
out
Zedekia's
eyes

From

to

which
was
600

;
where
he
died
miserably
in
Prison
,

Afterward
Nebuchadnezzar
went
with
his
Army
from
Babylon
to
Tyrus
,

he
won
,
and
pittifully
wasted
with
Fire
and
Sword
,

being

From

he
went
to

and
passed
480
miles
through
that
Kingdom
,
conquering
all
the
Countries
and
Provinces
as
he
went
along

even
the
Ammonites

the

From

time

his
death
,
he
was
Emperour
of

In

expounded

him
his
wonderful

Not
long
after
,
he
caused
Sidrack
,
Misack
,
and
Abednego
to
be
cast
in
a
Fiery
Furnace
,
because
they
refused
to
worship
the
golden
Image
which
he
had
set
up
;

Also
this
Nebuchadnezzar
,
for
his
great
Pride
and
Arrogancy
,
was
by
God
strucken
mad
,
and
into
a
deep
melancholy
,
in
which
disease
he
continued
for
the
space
of
seven
years
,
tied
in
Bonds
and
Chains
,
running
up
and
down
like
a
Beast
,
and
seeding
upon
Grass
and
Roots
;
until
he
came
to
understand
,
that
God
the
Governour
of
Heaven
and
Earth
,
had
the
disposing
of
Kingdoms
and
Governments
,
giving
them
to
whom
he
list
,
and
again
taking
them
away
.
At
the
end
of
which
time
he
was
restored
again
to
his
understanding
and
Empire
:
and
after
beautified
the
City
of

with
many
goodly
Buildings
,
fair
Orchards

The
Description
of
the
Cities
and
Places
that
have
not
as
yet
been
mentioned
.
Of
Carchemis
.
THIS
was
a
City
in
the
Country
of
Syria
near
Euphrates
,
400
miles
from
Ierusalem
North-ward
,
and
signifies
,
A
sacrificed
Lamb
;
being
derived
of
Car
,
which
signifies
a
Ram
or
Lamb
,
and
Mosch
,
He
hath
cut
in
pieces
.
It
may
also
be
taken
in
the
third
Conjugation
,
for
a
Lamb
sacrificed
to
the
Idol
Chemosch
or
Chamos
,
the
God
of
Meetings
,
or
nightly
Salutations
.
Of
Pelusio
.
THIS
City
Peluso
was
built
by
Peleus
the
Father
of
Achilles
,
from
whence
it
took
the
name
.
It
stands
in
Egypt
,
some
172
miles
from
Ierusalem
South-westward
,
near
to
the
Gate
of
Nilus
called
Pelusiachus
,
where
it
falleth
into
the
Mediterranean
Sea
.
Not
far
from
this
City
,
in
the
Mountain
Casius
,
upon
the
Borders
of
Arabia-Petraea
(
where
the
Temple
of
Iupiter
Casius
stood
)
is
to
be
seen
the
Tomb
of
Pompey
the
Great
,
beautified
and
adorned
by
Adrianus
Caesar
,
as
Capitolinus
saith
.
At
this
day
this
City
is
called
by
the
name
of
Damiata
.
You
may
read
of
it

Of
Tyrus

or
Zor
.
TYrus
signifieth
Cheese

to
congeal

;
something
alluding
to
the
Hebrew
word
Zor

signifying
to
make
strait
,
or
a
Rock
having
a
strait

It
was
the
Metropolitan

:
but
in

it
was

It
was
scituated
upon
a
very
high
Rock

compassed
about
with
the
Mediterranean
Sea
,
100
miles
from
Ierusalem
Northward
,
and
a
famous
Mart
Town
for
all
the
Holy
Land
.
By
the
description
of

it
seems
to
have
been
like
unto

in
Scituation
and
Dignity
,
Ez.

and
many
other
Prophets
prophesied
against
this
Town
,
saying
,
Out
of
the
Land
of
Kithim
(
that
is
,
from
Macedonia
)
the
Destroyer
of
Tyrus
should
come
.
As
after
hapned
:
for
,
Alexander
the
Great
,
King
of
Macedon
,
besieged
that
Town
,
and
in
the
seventh
Month
after
took
it
;
for
the
obtaining
whereof
,
he
was
constrained
to
fill
up
the
Sea
which
compassed
it
about
,
containing
700
Paces
,
and
made
it
firm
Land
for
his
Army
to
pass
upon
to
the
Walls
of
the
City
.
In
this
Country
that
famous

Wherefore
you
shall
read
more
of
it
in
the

Tomb.
Of
Evil
Merodach
,
Emperour
of
the
Babylonians
and
Assyrians
.
AMilinus
Evil-Merodach
,
Son
of
Nebuchadonosor
the
Great
,
succeeded
his
Father
,
An.
Mun.
3388.
before
Christ
,
580.
In
the
first
year
of
his
Reign
he
set
at
liberty
Iechonias
King
of
Iuda
,
and
attributed
to
him
the
Title
,
Dignity
,
and
Maintenance
of
a
King
,
Iechonias
being
then
fifty
five
years
of
age
,
and
thirty
seven
after
he
had
been
in
Captivity
,
2
King
.
ult.
Ier.
ult
.
Whence
it
is
concluded
by
most
,
That
this
Emperour
did
also
embrace
the
Doctrine
of
Daniel
,
concerning
the
true
God
,
as
did
Nebuchadonosor
his
Father
;
who
had
before
by
publick
Edict
professed
it
to
the
whole
State
,
and
caused
it
to
be
published
through
his
Dominions
,
and
therefore
shewed
favour
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
derived
of
Mol
,
which
signifies
to
circumcise
,
and
Evil
,
simple
and
foolish
Merodach
.
His
Wife's
name
was
Nitocris
,
according
to
Herod

She
was
a
very
magnificent
and
wise
Woman

set
up
many
fair

was

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
and
Pastimes
.
But
certain
it
is
,
that
he
was
slain
at
a
Banquet
,
lost
his
Empire
,
and
was
the
last
of
the
Assyrian
Emperours
:
but
whether
at
that
time
,
I
refer
it
to
the
opinion
of
the
Reader
.
The
Travels
of
the
Kings
of
Aegypt
that
fought
against
the
Kings
of
Judah
.
And
first
of
Sisack
,
who
made
War
upon
Rehoboam
the
Son
of
Solomon
.
THAT
proud
and
presumptuous
Prince
Sisack
(
which
signifies
a
Garment
of
Silk
)
in
the
last
year
of
his
Reign
(
which
was
the
first
of
Rehoboam
the
Son
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
divers
Nations
,
as
Lybians
,
Ethiopians
,
&c.
With
this
Company
he
besieged
Ierusalem
,
and
took
it
,
wasted
the
City
,
spoiled
the
Temple
,
and
took
thence
the
golden
Shields
which
Solomon
had
made
,
and
destroyed
that
fair
and
beautiful
house
which
Solomon
had
built
.
From
whence
that
Saying
of
his
own
was
verified
,
Eccles.
That
it
is
a
great
Evil
upon
the
Earth
,
for
a
man
to
take
care
to
lay
up
Riches
and
Treasures
in
this
World
,
yet
knoweth
not
who
shall
inherit
it
.
For
those
things
which
a
little
before
he
had
with
great
Labour
and
Pains
builded
and
beautified
,
within
less
than
twenty
Years
after
,
were
destroyed
and
made
desolate
by
this
King
.
From
Ierusalem
,
Sisack
returned
with
the
Spoils
of
the
Temple
and
City
,
to
Memphis
in
Aegypt
,
which
was
244
miles
,
and
in
the
Year
following
he
was
stricken
by
the
Lord
with
a
grievous
Disease
,
of
which
he
died
miserably
.
So
these
two
Journeys
were
488
miles
.
The
Travels
of
Pharaoh
Necho
King
of
Egypt
,
who
made
War
upon
Josiah
King
of
Judah
.
NECHO
signifies
an
Enemy
or
Invader
.
This
man
was
one
of
the
greatest
of
all
the
Egyptian
Kings
,
who
,
in
the
thirteenth
year
of
his
Reign
made
War
upon
Nebuchadnezzar
the
first
,
and
in
the
Valley
of
Megiddo
,
near
to
Magdala
,
244
miles
from
Memphis
,
fought
a
great
Battel
,
wherein
Iosiah
King
of
Iudah
was
wounded
to
death
.
From
the
Valley
of
Megiddo
,
Pharaoh
Necho
went
to
the
River
Euphrates
,
360
miles
,
where
he
fought
a
second
Battel
with
Nebuchadnezzar
,
upon
a
Plain
near
to
Carchemis
,
where
he
lost
the
day
,
and
was
put
to
flight
.
From
Carchemis
he
fled
to
Riblah
,
in
the
Land
of
Israel
,
being
320
miles
;
where
,
in
the
Land
of
Chaemath
,
near
to
the
Lake
Samachonites
,
he
overcame
〈◊〉
King
of
Iudah
,
and
took
him
Prisoner
.
From
Riblah
,
Pharaoh
Necho
led
Ioachas
bound
to
Ierusalem
,
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
River
Euphrates
,
640
miles
.
But
there
he
was
the
second
time
overcome
by
Nebuchadnezzar
,
and
constrained
to
fly
thence
back
again
to
Memphis
in
Egypt
,
being
640
miles
.
But
Nebuchadnezzar
followed
him
with
an
Army
of
chosen
men
,
and
conquered
all
Egypt
,
took
Pharaoh
Necho
,
and
made
his
Son
Psammeticus
King
in
his
place
,
who
was
the
second
of
that
name
.
Of
this
Battel
there
is
mention
,
Ier.
ca.
25.

So
all
the
Travels
of
Pharaoh
Necho
were
1524
miles
.
The
Travels
of
the
Holy
Prophets
:
and
first
,
of
the
Prophet
Eliah
.
ELIAH
the
Prophet
went
from
Thisbe
(
which
was
in
the
Land
of
Gilead
)
to
Samaria
,
twenty
four
miles
,
where
he
told
the
wicked
King
Ahab
,
that
there
should
be
neither
Rain
nor
Dew
for
the
space
of
seven
years
,
1
Reg.

From
Samaria
he
went
to
the
River
●erith
,
twenty
four
miles
,
where
he
was
fed
by
a
Raven
.
From
Kerith
he
went
to
Sarepta
,
being
an
hundred
miles
,
where
he
sojourned
with
a
poor
Widow
that
found
him
Necessaries
,
whose
Son
he
restored
to
Life
,
1
Reg.
17.
From
Sarepta
he
went
to
Mount
Carmel
in
the
Land
of
Israel
,
being
sixty
miles
;
and
by
the
way
as
he
went
he
met
Obadiah
(
which
signifieth
,
the
Servant
of
the
Lord
)
and
King
Ahab
,
whom
he
rebuked
sharply
because
of
his
Idolatry
.
Also
upon
this
Mountain
he
put
all
B●al's
Priests
to
death
,
and
prayed
unto
the
Lord
,
who
sent
Rain
upon
the
Earth
in
great
abundance
,

From

when
Queen

threatned
his
Death
,
he
departed
thence
,
and
went
to
Beersaba
,

miles
,
1
Reg.

From
Beersaba
he
went
one
dayes
Jouney
into
the
Wilderness
of
Paran
,
because
he
thought
to
remain
there
safe
from
the
mischief
of
Iesabel
,
which
was
twenty
miles
from
Beersaba
,
Southward
.
Here
the
Angel
of
the
Lord
brought
him
meat
as
he
was
sitting
under
a
Juniper-tree
,
1
Reg.

By
vertue
of
this
meat
,
Eliah
travelled
from
thence
to
Mount
Horeb
,
or
Sinai
,
eighty
miles
;
and
continued
there
forty
dayes
and
forty
nights
,
without
meat
or
drink
.
There
the
Lord
spake
to
Eliah
,
as
he
stood
in
the
●ntrance
of
a
Cave
,
his
Face
being
covered
with
his
Mantle
,
1

From
the
Mount
Sinai

he
returned

he
dwelt
,
which
was
accounted

From
Mount
Carmel
he
went
to
Iezreel
,
sixteen
miles
;
there
,
in
the
Vineyard
of
Naboth
,
(
whom
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
,
sixteen
miles
.
From
thence
he
went
to
Samaria
,
which
was
thirty
two
miles
,
where
he
answered
the
Servants
of
King
Ahaziah
,
whom
he
had
sent
to
enquire
of
B●alzebub
,
the
Idol
of
Ekron
,
concerning
his
health
,
saying
,
Go
and
tell
your
Master
that
sent
you
,
That
the
God
of
Israel
saith
,
Because
thou
hast
sent
to
ask
counsel
of
Baalzebub
,
the
Idol
of
Ekron
,
and
thinkest
there
is
no
God
in
Israel

therefore
thou
shalt
not
rise
off
the
Bed
whereon
thou
liest
,
but
shalt
surely
dye
,
2
Reg.

Soon
after
,
Elias
returned
to
Mount
Carmel
,
being
32
miles
;
where
the
two
Captains
with
their
Companies
of
fifty
that
were
sent
to
take
him
,
were
consumed
with
fire
from
Heaven
,
1
Reg.

From
Mount
Carmel
he
went
to
Samaria
with
the
third
Captain
,
thirty
two
miles
,
where
he
prophecied
of
the
death
of
King
Ahaziah
,
2
Reg.

From
Samaria
he
returned
back
again
to
Mount
Carmel
,
thirty
two
miles
.
From
thence
he
went
to
Gilgal
,
fifty
two

.
From
Gilgal
he
went
with
Elizeus
to
the
Town

being
six

,
2
Reg.

From
thence
to
Iericho
,
four

,
2
Reg.

From
Iericho
he
and
Elizeus
went
to
Iordan
,
which
was
six
miles
,
through
which
River
they
went
upon
dry
ground
.
Now
as
they
were
speaking
one
to
another
,
upon
the
East-side
of
the
River
,
behold
a
fiery
Chariot
came
with
fiery
Horses
,
and
took
Elias
up
alive
into
Heaven
,
after
he
had
governed
the
Church
thirty
years

So
all
the
Travels
of
Eliah
the
Prophet
were
1033
miles
.
Of
the
Cities
and
Places
to
which
he
travelled
.
Of
Thisbe
.
IN
this
Town
the
Prophet
Eliah
was
born
,
it
being
scituated
in
the
Land
of
Gilead
beyond
Iordan
,
48
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
North-east

It

and
so
passing
along
towards
the

,
falleth
into
the

Iordan
,

The
Kerethites
were
such
as
guarded
the
Person
of
the
King
,
which
in
the
Prophet
David's
time
were
called
mighty
men
;
taking
their
name
from
striking
and
cutting
,
being
derived
of
Charath
,
he
hath
smitten
,
or
cut

Of
Zarpath
,
or
Sarepta
.
THIS
was
a
City
of
the
Sidonians
,
where
they
found
much
Metal
of
divers
kinds
;
lying
between
Tyrus
and
Sidon
,
112
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
North
,
and
taketh
the
name
from
Zoraph
,
which
signifies
,
To
try
,
or
burn
with
Fire
.
There
is
at
this
time
but
eight
Houses
in
all
the
Town
,
although
by
the
Ruines
it
seemeth
to
have
been
in
times
past
a
very
fair
City
.
The
Inhabitants
thereof
take
upon
them
to
shew
the
Chamber
wherein
Elias
the
Prophet
sometimes
lived
,
when
he
raised
the
Widows
Child
to

Before
the
Gate
of
the
City

there
is
shewed

they
say
)
Elias
first
spake

on
this
side
Iordan
in
the
mid-way
between
Sichem
and
Salem
,
some
38
miles
from

Northward
.
At
this
day
it
is
called
Abisena
;
where
there
are
found
certain
ruines
of
Marble
Pillars
,
by
which
may
be
gathered
,
that
in
times
past
it
hath
been
a
very
beautiful
City
.
It
seemeth
to
have
taken
the
name
from
a
great
lamentation
or
mourning
:
for
Abel
signifieth
to
lament
and
bewail
;
and
Machol

a

The
Typical
Signification
of
Elias
.
Elias
,
according
to
the
Interpretation
of
St.
Ierome
,
signifies
,
the
Minister
of
Iehovah
:
but
as
others
would
have
it
,
Eliah
,
is
as
much
as
,
my
God
Iehovah
.
He
was
a
Type
of
St.
Iohn
Baptist
,
who
was
sent
before
to
prepare
the
way
of
our
Lord
and
Saviour
Jesus

The

Signification

ELisha

Elischa
signifieth
,
the
Salvation
of
God
;
being
derived
of
El
,
that
is
,
God
;
and
Iaschag
,
he
hath
saved
:
from
hence
Jesus
,
a
Saviour
;
because
this
Prophet
was
a
notable
Type
of
our
Saviour
Jesus
Christ
:
for
as
Elisha
was
anointed
Priest
by
the
Prophet
Eliah
;
so
Christ
was
the
anointed
Priest
of
the
Father
:
and
as
Elisha
did
many
works
of
Mercy
and
Miracles
,
to
make
evident
Gods
Power
and
Providence
;
so
our
Saviour
Christ
went
from
place
to
place
,
shewing
mercy
to
the
blind
,
lame
,
and
impotent
,
upon
them
working
wonderful
Miracles
,
that
thereby
his
doctrine
might
be
made
evident
to
the
World
,
and
all
such
as
trust
in
him
,
be
made
capable
of
eternal
happiness

Chapter
of
his
Prophecy

calleth
him
his
beloved

He
began
to
teach
publickly
in
the
year
of
the
World
,
3167
▪
and
before
Christ
800.
and
governed

Church
eighty

more

to
be
cut

In

Isay
saw
the
Lord
sitting
upon
a
high
Throne
in
great
Majesty
,

glorious
and
bright
shining
Angels
,
of
a
fiery
nature
:
for
Saraph
signifieth
,
He
hath
turned
to
Fire
.
His
Doctrine
was
twofold
,
that
is
,
partly
concerning
the
Law
,
partly
the
Gospel
,
as
may
appear
by
his
Prophesie
;
in
the
first
forty
Chapters
whereof
,
the
Doctrine
of
the
Law
is
set
●orth
,
with
sharp
Reprehensions
for
Sin
:
in
the
first
four
of
which
,
are
grievous
Accusations
of
Sinners
for
breach
of
the
first
Commandment
;
the
other
,
for
the
most
part
,
prophecy
of
horrible
Punishments
,
Mutations
,
and
Change
of
Government
;
but
principally
,
of
the
Iews
,
Babylonians
,
Assyrians
,
Syrians
,
and
Aegyptians
.
From
the
●ortieth
to
the
end
of
the
Book
,
is
contained
the
Doctrine
of
the
Gospel
,
and
of
the
Kingdom
of
our
Saviour
Jesus
Christ
;
which
he
hath
set
forth
with
such
excellent
Eloquence
,
Figures
,
and
Amplifications
,
that
he
may
be
compared
with
the
best
Orator
that
ever
wrote
.
The
Travels
of
the
Prophet
Jeremias
.
〈◊〉
or
●eremiah
,
signifieth
,
The
exalted
of
the
Lord
:
he
was
born
in
the
Tribe
of
Benjamin
,
in
a
City
of
the
Priests
called
Anathoth
,
and
from
thence
came
to
Ierusalem
,
being
two
miles
,
and
continued
there
for
forty
years
,
teaching
and
prophecying
.
From
Ierusalem
he
was
sent
to
Euphrates
,
where
,
in
the
cliff
of
a
Rock
,
he
hid
his
Girdle
,
Ier.
13.
being
400
miles
.
From
the
River
Euphrates
he
returned
back
again
to
Ierusalem
,
400
miles
.
A
little
after
,
the
Lord
sent
him
back
again
to
Euphrates
,
(
400
miles
)
to
fetch
his
Girdle
,
and
l●e
it
was
putrefied
.
From
thence
he
returned
back
again
the
second
time
to
Ierusalem
,
400
miles
.
From
Ierusalem
he
was
led
captive
bound
in
Chains
,
with
other
Prisoners
,
to
Ramath
,
a
City
in
Mount
Ephraim
,
being
eight
miles
;
there
Nabuzaradan
,
the
chief
Captain
,
caused
him
to
be
set
at
Liberty
.
From
Ramath
he
went
to
Mispah
,
which
is
eight
miles
;
where
he
continued
a
while
with
Gediliah
Prince
of
the
Iews
,
which
man
had
the
chief
command
of
certain
Cities
of
Iudaea
under
Nabuchadnezzar
.
But
in
the
seventh
Year
of
the
Captivity
of
the
people
of
Israel
,
Ishmael
that
was
of
the
Stock
and
Progeny
of
David
,
(
hoping
to
obtain
the
Government
of
Iuda
)
made
War
upon
Gediliah
,
and
put
him
to
Death
;
wherefore
Ieremy
went
from
thence
with
Iohn
the
Son
of
Kareach
,
Prince
of
the
Iews
,
to
Bethlem
Euphrata
,
eight
miles
,
Ier.
41.
Now
when
he
had
stayed
a
while
in
a
Village
near
Bethlem
,
called
Geruth
Chimeham
,
where
sometime
Chimeham
the
Son
of
Barzilla●
lived
,
2
Sam.
19.
he
prophesied
,
saying
,
If
you
stay
in
this
Land
you
shall
do
well
,
neither
shall
any
Evil
happen
unto
you
;
but
if
you
depart
hence
into
Aegypt
,
they
shall
devour
you
with
Famine
and
with
the
Sword
,
Jer.
42.
But
Iohn
and
the
rest
of
the
Princes
would
give
no
credit
to
the
words
of
Ieremy
,
but
went
into
Aegypt
,
and
compelled
the
Prophet
to
go
along
with
them
:
so
they
went
from
Bethlehem
to
Tachpanes
,
which
was
172
miles
.
Here
the
second
time
Ieremy
prophesied
unto
them
,
saying
,
Behold
,
Nebuchadnezzar
shall
come
hither
and
wast
and
destroy
all
the
Country
of
Aegypt
,
beat
down
the
Images
of
Bethsemes
,
(
or
Heliopolis
)
and
carry
away
the
Aegyptians
into
perpetual
Captivity
,
Jer.
43.
But
the
People
of
Israel
being
moved
to
Anger
because
of
his
Words
,
stoned
him
to
death
.
So
the
Travels
of
the
Prophet
Ieremiah
were
1786
miles
.
Concerning
the
Towns
and
Places
mentioned
in
the
Travels
of
this
Prophet
,
you
may
read
of
them
before
,
except
Geruth-Chimeham
,
which
stood
close
by
Bethlehem
.
It
taketh
the
name
from
a
Stranger
or
Traveller
being
derived
of
Gor
,
which
signifieth
,
He
hath
travelled
;
and
Tachpanes
which
was
a
City
of
Egypt
,
some
180
miles
from
Ierusalem
;
where
the
Prophet
Ieremy
was
stoned
to
death
;
it
is
oftentimes
called
the
name
of
Taphniis
.
The
Travels
of
Urijah
the
Prophet
.
URIAS
,
or
Vriah
,
signifies
,
Illuminated
,
or
inlightned
of
the
Lord
.
He
was
born
at
Kirjath-jearim
,
a
mile
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
West
:
from
thence
he
came
to
Ierusalem
,
and
there
prophesied
of
the
Destruction
of
the
City
.
After
,
when
King
Ioachim
went
about
to
take
away
his
Life
,
he
fled
thence
into
Egypt
,
160
miles
.
But
the
King
sent
Messengers
into
Egypt
,
and
fetch'd
Vrijah
back
again
to
Ierusalem
,
and
hundred
and
sixty
miles
,
and
there
cut
off
his
head
,
and
caused
his
Body
to
be
thrown
into
the
Sepulchre
of
a
poor
despised
man
,
that
it
might
not
be
known
that
he
had
been
a
Prophet
of
the
Lord
.
So
all
his
Travels
were
321
miles
.
Of
Hananias
the
false
Prophet
.
HAnanias
,
or
Chanania
signifieth
,
the
Grace
of
God
.
This
false
Prophet
was
a
Gibeonite
,
and
came
from
Gibeon
to
Ierusalem
,
which
was
four
miles
;
where
he
took
the
woodden
yoaks
from
the
neck
of
Ieremiah
the
Prophet
:
but
Ieremiah
caused
Iron
Yoaks
to
be
made
in
their
places
,
and
told
Hananias
,
that
for
his
falshood
,
that
year
he
should
surely
dye
,
as
after
he
did
.
Of
the
Prophet
Ezekiel
.
EZekiel
or
Iechezkel
,
signifies
the
Strength
or
Fortitude
of
God
.
He
was
carried
captive
,
with
3000
others
of
the
Nobility
of
the
Iews
,
from
Ierusalem
to
Babylon
,
which
was
680
miles
,
the
same
year
that
Nebuchadnezzar
put
King
Ioachim
to
death
:
Within
five
years
after
,
(
a
little
before
Easter
)
the
Book
of
the
Law
was
found
,
2
Chron.
3.
He
began
to
prophesie
in
Babylon
,
Anno
Mundi
3356
,
before
Christ
,
612
;
at
which
time
he
saw
his
first
Visions
,
near
to
the
River
Chebar
.
Of
the
River
Chebar
.
THE
River
Chebar
was
near
Babylon
in
Chaldaea
(
upon
the
borders
of
Mesopotamia
,
falling
into
Euphrates
;
and
was
often
times
called
Aborras
,
according
to
the
opinion
of
many
learned
men
.
Strabo
in
the
sevententh
Book
of
his
Geography
saith
,
that
there
is
another
River
between
Tygris
and
Euphrates
,
called
Basilius
:
Aborras
passeth
along
by
the
City
of
Athemusia
,
and
is
a
very
fair
stream
,
from
whence
it
is
called
Chebar
,
which
signifies
,
a
swift
and
spacious
River
.
Near
to
this
River
the
Prophet
Ezekiel
saw
the
Glory
and
Majesty
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
in
a
bright
shining
Cloud
.
In
this
place
also
dwelt
many
Iews
,
to
whom
he
prophecied
and
foretold
the
Destruction
of
Ierusalem
by
Nebuchadnezzar
,
and
the
captivity
of
Zedekiah
.
The
Travels
of
the
Prophet
Daniel
.
DAniel
signifies
,
the
Judge
of
God
.
In
the
reign
of
Ioachim
King
of
Iud●h
,
he
was
carried
away
captive
from
Ierusalem
to
Babylon
,
by
Nabuchadonozor
,
which
was
680
miles
,
and
there
with
his
fellows
learned
the
Arts
and
Language
of
the
Chaldeans
,
for
three
years
.
He
was
then
but
young
,
about
some
nineteen
or
twenty
years
of
age
,
and
lived
in
Exile
ninety
one
years
,
until
the
third
year
of
Cyrus
Emperour
of
the
Persians
,
about
which
time
he
saw
his
last
Vision
,
and
a
little
after
died
,
when
he
was
about
110
years
of
age
,
as
may
be
gathered
by
the
Circumstances
of
Histories
and
Times
.
From
Babylon
he
went
to
Susan
in
Persia
,
Anno
Mundi
,
3418
,
and
before
Christ
,
540
,
being
then
ninety
four
years
of
age
,
which
was
252
miles
,
where
,
near
to
the
Flood
Eulaeus
,
he
had
a
Vision
of
a
Ram
and
a
Goat
;
which
set
forth
the
state
of
the
second
Monarchy
(
which
was
that
of
the
Graecians
.
)
In
this
Vision
Gabriel
the
Arch-Angel
,
appeared
to
Daniel
,
Dan.
8.
This
was
in
the
third
year
of
King
Balthasar
.
From
Susan
,
Daniel
returned
to
Babylon
,
which
was
252
miles
;
here
he
interpreted
to
Balthasar
the
meaning
of
these
words
,
Mene
,
Mene
,
Tekel
Euphar
sin
,
Dan.
5.
From
Babylon
he
went
to
the
River
Tygris
or
Hidekel
,
which
was
thirty
six
miles
:
here
,
in
the
third
year
of
Cyrus
King
of
Persia
,
he
saw
his
last
Vision
,
which
is
described
in
the
tenth
,
eleventh
,
and
twelfth
Chapters
of
his
Prophecy
.
From
Tygris
,
he
returned
to
his
own
house
at
Babylon
,
which
was
thirty
six
miles
.
Sometimes
also
in
his
three
last
years
of
his
life
,
he
used
to
goe
to
Egbatan
,
the
Metropolitan
City
of
the
Medes
,
which
was
accounted
464
miles
from
Babylon
,
towards
the
North-East
:
Here
Daniel
built
a
fair
and
and
artificial
Temple
,
so
strongly
,
that
it
remained
unperished
,
and
retained
the
ancient
beauty
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
Government
whereof
was
committed
to
a
Priest
of
the
Iews
,
as
Iosephus
saith
,
lib.
Antiq.
10.
cap.
4.
From
Egbatan
,
he
returned
back
again
to
Babylon
,
which
was
.
464
miles
,
and
there
died
,
Anno
Mundi
,
3445
,
and
before
Christ
,
533.
So
all
the
Travels
of
the
Prophet
Daniel
were
2184
miles
.
Of
the
Places
to
which
he
travelled
.
Of
Susan
.
SVsa
,
or
Susan
,
is
so
called
from
a
sweet
smelling
Flower
;
but
chiefly
a
Rose
,
or
a
Lilly
,
because
it
is
scituated
in
a
fair
and
pleasant
place
.
It
was
a
goodly
City
,
lying
on
both
sides
the
River
Eulaeus
,
some
200
furlongs
(
that
is
twenty
five
miles
English
)
about
,
as
Polycletus
saith
.
And
of
this
City
all
the
Country
round
about
is
called
Susana
:
bordering
towards
the
North
upon
Assyria
,
towards
the
West
upon
Babylon
,
towards
the
South
upon
the
Gulph
of
Persia
,
and
joyneth
upon
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
Air
in
the
Winter
season
is
very
temperate
,
at
which
time
the
Earth
bringeth
forth
many
pleasant
Flowers
and
Fruits
;
but
in
the
Summer
it
is
extream
hot
;
by
which
heat
all
things
are
scorched
and
burned
away
,
and
by
reason
of
the
Putrefaction
of
the
Air
(
as
some
think
)
in
that
Season
,
there
do
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
Roofs
being
at
least
a
yard
thick
,
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
City
,
about
such
time
as
Thol●
judged
Israel
.
After
him
his
Son
Memnon
beautified
it
with
a
fair
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
Town
was
called
Memnon
,
as
Strabo
observeth
:
but
in
Hester
and
Daniels's
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
City
with
many
fair
Buildings
.
The
first
of
these
Emperours
that
dwelt
there
was
Cyrus
,
who
,
after
he
had
conquered
Babylon
,
Assyria
,
and
many
other
Kingdoms
and
Countries
lying
near
to
the
City
Susa
;
that
he
might
with
more
ease
and
better
safety
retain
them
in
his
Government
,
removed
his
Court
from
Persepolis
,
which
lay
up
in
the
East
part
of
Persia
)
to
this
Town
,
where
all
the
Winter
season
,
for
the
most
part
,
he
lived
,
and
in
the
Summer
went
to
●gbatan
,
the
chief
City
of
Media
,
because
there
,
at
that
season
,
the
Air
was
very
temperate
:
His
Successors
after
him
observing
the
same
course
for
their
better
conveniency
,
and
to
make
evident
their
greater
magnificence
,
repaired
the
Castle
of
Memnon
,
joyned
to
it
many
fair
and
goodly
Buildings
,
and
close
by
it
planted
a
pleasant
Orchard
of
diverse
and
sundry
sorts
of
Trees
and
Herbs
.
It
is
reported
,
that
the
Gate
whereby
they
entred
into
this
Orchard
,
was
very
curiously
built
,
supported
with
Pillars
of
polished
Marble
,
imbossed
with
Silver
and
Gold
,
very
rare
to
look
upon
:
over
it
was
a
banquetting-house
,
beautified
with
lively
pictures
,
costly
furniture
,
and
Beds
of
Gold
and
Silver
,
covered
with
rich
Tapestry
,
wrought
with
Silk
,
Silver
,
and
Gold
;
upon
these
they
used
to
eat
their
Banquets
:
it
was
paved
with
Porphire
,
Marble
and
Hyacinths
,
in
such
●ort
,
as
it
greatly
delighted
such
as
beheld
it
.
The
Queen
had
a
private
Garden
to
her self
;
in
which
were
great
abundance
of
Trees
of
divers
kinds
,
and
many
sweet
Flowers
and
Herbs
:
In
which
Garden
Ahashuerus
walked
to
qualifie
the
heat
of
his
wrath
that
he
had
conceived
against
that
wicked
and
perfidious
Haman
,
who
through
envy
and
ambition
sought
the
destruction
of
the
whole
Nation
of
the
Iews
;
le●t
by
giving
place
unto
anger

should
transgress
the
bounds
of
Clemency
and
Justice
:
wherefore
it
becometh
every
King
,
Prince
,
and
Judge
,
to
imitate
the
example
of
this
Emperour
,
who
,
in
the
heat
of
his
anger
,
would
determine
nothing
of
so
wicked
a
man
:
for
long
and
often
deliberation
becometh
every
wise
man
before

any

Not
far
from
the
Emperour's
Palace
,
in
a
fair
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
understanding
amongst
that
People
,
that
some
of
them
in
succeeding
ages
were
chosen
for
Kings
and
Governours
in
that
Country
.
They
studied
for
the
most
part
the
Mathematicks
,
History
,
Philosophy
,
and
Divinity
,
and
,
as
many
have
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
Town
,
because
it
stood
East
from
Ierusalem
.
It
is
at
this
day
called
Cusistane
,
as
Ortelius
and
Sebastian
Munster
witness
,
and
in
their
times
was
under
the
Government
of
one
Caliphus
,
Emperour
of
the
Saracens
.
This
Caliphus
was
strongly
besieged
by
one
Allan
the
great
,
King
of
Tartaria
,
in
this
Town
,
Anno.
Dom.
1250.
But
because
of
his
exceeding
Covetousness
and
Parcimony
,
he
lost
the
City
and
was
famished
to
death

so
fell
into
a
hole

Earth
,
and
passed
under
the
ground
,
till
it
came
near
to
the
City
Susa
,
where
it
brake
forth
again
,
and
compassed
about
the
Tower
of
Susa
,
and
a
Temple
in
the
City
dedicated
to
Diana
.
The
Inhabitants
hold
this
River
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
Rivers
of
good
account
,
which
pass
through
Persia
,
viz.
Choas●es
and
Tygris
,
but
neither
of
them
are
in

estimation
as
this

Of
Elam
.
PErsia
in
antient
times
was
called
after
this
name
,
from
Elam
the
Son
of
Sem.
But
after
Perseus
had
obtained
a
large
and
spacious
Government
in
that
Country
,
it
was
after
his
name
called
Persia.
Elam

The
Typical
Signification
of
Daniel
.
DAniel
signifies
,
the
Iudge
of
God
:
typically
representing
Christ
who
is
appointed
by
that
eternal
Iehovah
to
be
Judge
of
all
things
both
quick
and
dead
,
and
rescueth
his
Church
,
which
is
(
as
a
Rose
compassed
about
with
Thorns
)
oppressed
with
the
Tyranny
and
cruelty
of
Evil
and
wicked
men
,
casting
those
false
Judges
and
merciless
Governours
into
eternal
Exile
and
the
Pit
Destruction
.
And
,
as
the
Prophet
was
innocently
condemned
,
cast
into
the
Lions
den
,
and
had
the
door
sealed
upon
him
,
and
,
to
the
judgment
of
man
,
no
hope
of
life
,
or
means
to
escape
was
left
him
,
yet
,
by
the
Providence
of
God
was
delivered
out
of
this
danger
,
and
came
thence
safe
and
untouch'd
,
Dan.

so
our
Saviour
was
innocently
condemned
,
cast
into
the
Grave
,
sealed
up
among
the
dead
,
and
to
common
judgment
,
left
as
a
man
out
of
mind
;
yet
early
in
the
morning
,
at
the
appointed
time
,
by
the
Power
of
his
Deity
,
he
raised
himself
up
from
this
Pit
of
Hell
(
the
Grave
)
and
gloriously
triumphed
over
it
and
death
.
Of
the
Prophet
Hosea
.
THIS
Prophet
Hosea
was
born
in
a
Town
called
Bemeloth
,
or
Bethmeloth
,
(
as
Dorothe●s
sometime
Bishop
of
Tyre
saith
)
which
was
a
Town
in
the
Tribe
of
Issachar
,
not
far
from
Bethulia
,
some
fifty
two
miles
from
Ierusalem
toward
the
North
,
near
to
which
place
Holofernes
afterward
pitched
his
Tents
,
extending
thence
to
the
Field
of
Esdrelon
,
and
the
Town
Chelmon
,
from
whence
it
seemeth
this
Town
taketh
the
Name
.
He
prophesied
in
Israel
eight
hundred
years
before
Christ
;
his
name
●ignifieth
,
a
Saviour
,
being
derived
of
Hoschiag
,
the
third
Conjugation
of
Iaschag
,
that
is
,
He
hath
saved
,
Mat.
2.
Of
the
Prophet
Joel
.
JOEL
signifies
God's
own
,
as
St.
Ierom
expoundeth
it
.
He
prophesied
eight
hundred
Years
before
Christ
,
both
in
Israel
and
in
Iudah
.
He
was
born
in
a
Village
which
was
called
Ba●homeron
,
not
far
from
Sichem
,
in
the
Tribe
of
Manasses
,
as
Dorotheus
the
Bishop
of
Tyre
,
saith
.
Of
the
Prophet
Amos.
THIS
Man's
Father
dwelt
at
Tekoa
,
a
poor
man
,
one
that
kept
Kine
,
and
used
to
gather
wild
Figs
,
as
appeareth
in
the
first
and
seventh
Chapters
of
Amos.
In
this
Town
Amos
was
born
,
and
followed
the
Profession
of
his
Father
,
but
the
Lord
called
him
to
be
a
Prophet
;
and
then
he
went
to
Bethel
,
which
was
twelve
miles
distant
.
Here
he
reprehended
Ieroboam
King
of
Israel
,
for
Idolatry
and
worshipping
the
Golden
Calf
;
after
,
he
was
accused
by
Amasia
the
Chief
Priest
of
the
Idols
in
Bethel
,
and
bound
in
Chains
;
and
at
length
,
Vria
,
the
Son
of
this
Amasia
,
struck
him
upon
his
Head
with
a
Spear
,
whereby
he
was
mortally
wounded
.
From
Bethel
,
being
sick
,
he
was
carried
back
to
Tecoa
,
which
was
twelve
miles
;
where
,
a
little
after
,
he
died
,
as
St.
Ierom
witnesseth
,
in
whose
time
his
Monument
was
to
be
seen
.
Amos
signifies
,
A
Burthen
,
as
indeed
he
was
to
the
wicked
Israelites
,
he
so
sharply
reprehended
them
in
his
Sermons
of
the
Law
.
He
lived
eight
hundred
years
before
Christ
.
So
his
Travels
were
24
miles
.
Of
the
Prophet
Obediah
.
OBediah
signifies
,
God's
obedient
Servant
,
of
Abad
,
he
hath
served
,
or
been
obedient
.
He
lived
six
hundred
years
before
Christ
,
about
the
time
of
the
Captivity
of
Babylon
.
St.
Ierom
saith
,
that
in
his
time
there
were
to
be
seen
in
the
City
of
Samaria
,
the
Monuments
of
three
Prophets
,
that
is
,
of
Elisha
,
Obediah
,
and
Iohn
Baptist.
But
some
think
that
Obediah
the
Prophet
lay
not
buried
in
Samaria
,
but
rather
it
was
the
Sepulchre
of
that
Obediah
which
lived
in
the
time
of
Ahab
,
that
hid
a
hundred
of
the
Lord's
Prophets
,
fifty
in
one
Cave
,
and
fifty
in
another
,
between
which
there
were
three
hundred
years
difference
.
The
Travels
of
the
Prophet
Jonah
.
THIS
Prophet
Ionas
was
born
in
Gath
Hepher
,
which
was
a
Town
in
the
Tribe
of
Zabulon
,
from
whence
to
Samaria
is
accounted
thirty
two
miles
:
here
he
prophecied
to
Ieroboam
(
second
of
that
name
)
K●ng
of
Israel
,
that
he
should
recover
Hemath
and
Damascus
,
and
so
to
the
Plain
of
the
Red
Sea
,
2
Reg.
14.
From
●amaria
to
Ioppa
,
or
Iapho
,
a
Port
Town
upon
the
Sea
Shore
,
(
to
which
Ionas
went
when
he
fled
from
the
Lord
)
was
thirty
eight
miles
:
but
the
Lord
stirred
up
a
great
Wind
when
Ionas
was
upon
the
Sea
,
that
the
Mariners
cast
him
out
,
and
he
was
devoured
of
a
Whale
,
Ionas
1.
That
Whale
which
had
devoured
Ionas
,
with
a
continual
course
and
great
violence
,
in
three
days
and
three
nights
swam
to
the
Euxine
Sea
,
and
there
cast
him
up
upon
the
Shore
,
which
was
600
miles
,
Ios.
Antiq.
lib.

From
the
shore
of
the
Euxine
Sea
,
Ionas
went
to
Nineveh
,
which
are
eight
hundred
miles
:
Here
Ionas
preached
Repentance
to
the
Ninevites
,
Ion.

So
all
the
Travels
of
Ionas
were
1470
miles
.
Of
Gath
Hepher
.
IN
this
Town
the
Prophet
Ionas
was
born
:
it
was
scituated
in
the
Tribe
of
Zabulon
,
sixty
miles
from
Ierusalem
Northward
,
and
four
miles
from
Nazareth
towards
the
South
.
It
seems
to
take
the
name
from
abundance
of
Grapes
;
for
Gath
Ghepher
signifieth
a
Wine-press
.
Of
Japho
.
JAPHO
,
or
Ioppa
,
was
a
City
or
Haven-Town
scituated
upon
the
Sea
,
where
all
such
Ships
landed
as
went
into
Iudaea
.
At
this
day
the
Turks
and
Saracens
call
it
Iafa
,
lying
upon
the
Mediterranean
Sea
,
in
the
Tribe
of
Dan
,
Ios.
19.
in
a
certain
Mountain
twenty
miles
from
Ierusalem
North-Westward
.
Pliny
,
li.
5.
saith
,
this
City
was
built
before
the
Flood
;
and
in
St.
Ierom's
time
there
was
to
be
seen
the
Stone
to
which
Andromeda
was
bound
when
she
should
have
been
devoured
by
a
Monster
of
the
Sea
.
The
Poets
Seign
this
Woman
to
be
the
Daughter
of
Cepheus
,
and
delivered
by
Perseus
King
of
the
Persians
,
whom
after
she
married
.
It
is
called
Iapho
,
because
of
the
beautiful
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
upon
the
Sea
.
The
Latine
and
Greek
Texts
read
it
Tharsin
;
whence
it
hapned
that
many
have
thought
that
Ionas
fled
from
Thar●is
a
City
in
Cili●●a
,
in
which
Country
St.
Paul
was
born
.
But
Luther
,
in
his
Exposition
of
the
Prophecy
of
Ionas
,
doth
utterly
disallow
of
this
as
false
;
for
the
Hebrew
Text
reads
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
only
a
great
Sea
,
but
the
meeting
together
of
Waters
,
or
a
Lake
.
So
in
Luke
.
5.
the
Sea
of
Galilee
,
in
which
Christ
and
his
Disciples
sailed
,
is
called
a
Lake
;
yet
Ioh.
cap.
5.
and
the
rest
of
the
Evangelists
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
Tharschich
,
denoteth
a
great
Sea
,
and
no
Lake
;
or
an
high
and
troublesome
Sea
,
as
the
Mediteranean
Sea
is
.
In
this
Paul
travelled
,
and
there
standeth
many
Islands
,
as
Rhodes
,
Cyprus
,
Cicilia
,
and
others
;
all
which
are
at
this
day
subject
to
the
Turks
,
Venetians
,
or
Spaniards
.
It
extendeth
it self
from
Ioppa
and
Cilicia
,
to
the
Streights
between
Spain
and
Mauritania
.
Into
this
Sea
,
Ionas
was
cast
when
the
Whale
devoured
him
.
In
like
manner
,
the
Red
Sea
,
and
all
others
that
are
Ocean
Seas
,
are
called
Tharsis
,
as
appeareth
in
the
72
Psalm
,
where
it
said
,
The
Kings
of
Tharsis
and
of
the
Isles
shall
bring
Presents
.
Here
,
the
Kings
whose
Empires
extend
themselves
along
the
Sea
Coast
are
understood
.
But
the
City
Tharsis
(
the
Country
of
the
Apostle
Paul
)
is
not
a
Kingdom
,
neither
ever
had
a
King
,
much
less
many
Kings
.
So
Solomon
sent
his
Ships
by
Tharsin
(
that
is
,
by
Sea
towards
the
South-East
,
into
the
Red
Sea
and
Eastern
Ocean
)
that
they
might
bring
Gold
,
precious
Stones
,
and
sweet
Gums
from
Arabia
.
But
the
Ships
could
not
sail
by
the
Red
Sea
unto
the
Town
of
Tharsis
,
unless
they
would
have
sailed
over
the
Land
,
which
is
impossible
,
because
Tharsis
lieth
into
the
Land
from
the
Red
Sea
,
as
all
Cosmographers
agree
.
So
also
the
Psalmist
saith
,
Thou
breakest
with
thy
strong
Winds
the
Ships
of
Tharsis
,
that
is
,
of
the
Sea
;
beside
many
such
like
speeches
.
From
whence
St.
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
far
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
upon
Asia
the
less
;
towards
the
East
,
upon
Calcos
;
towards
the
West
,
upon
Thracia
and
Valachia
:
but
towards
the
North
it
is
●oyned
to
the
Pool
of
Maeotides
.
This
Sea
in
times
past
was
called
Pontus
Axenus
,
that
is
,
the
inhospitable
Countrey
;
because
,
as
Strabo
lib.
1.
of
his
Cosmography
saith
,
The
Inhabitants
near
about
the
Sea-shore
did
usually
sacrifice
those
Strangers
they
got
,
or
else
cast
their
Bodies
unto
Dogs
to
be
devoured
,
making
drinking-cups
of
their
Skulls
.
But
after
,
when
the
Ionians
had
built
certain
Towns
upon
the
Sea-coast
,
and
had
restrained
the
Incursions
of
certain
Scythian
Thieves
,
which
usually
preyed
upon
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
as
to
say
,
the
hospitable
Country
.
Ovid
testifieth
almost
the
same
,
concerning
the
original
of
the
name
of
this
Sea
,
after
this
manner
;
Frigida
me
cohibent
Euxini
littora
Ponti
,
Dictus
ab
antiquis
Axinus

.
The

where
the
Emperours
of
that
Country
used
to
keep
their
Courts
.
It
was
first
built
by
Ninus
,
that
great
Emperour
of
the
first
Monarchy
,
300
years
after
the
flood
,
and
2000
before
Christ
,
about
the
time
when
the
Patriarch
Abraham
was
born
.
It
continued
in
great
glory
for
the
space
of
almost
1500
years
,
and
was
distant
from
Ierusalem
toward
the
North-east
684
miles
:
upon
the
East
side
joyning
to
the
River
Tygris
,
on
the
North
to
the
Caspian
Sea
.
It
takes
the
name
from
the
Beauty
of
it
,
being
derived
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
sumptuousness
of
the
Buildings
,
the
strength
of
the
Walls
,
and
the
extent
.
The
Walls
were
so
thick
that
three
Chariots
might
have
met
upon
them
without
any
danger
;
and
beautified
with
an
hundred
and
fifty
Towers
.
Ionas
being
sent
of
God
to
this
City
,
was
three
days
going
through
it
,
that
is
(
as
Luther
expounds
it
)
through
every
Street
of
it
;
in
which
time
he
converted
a
hundred
and
twenty
thousand
to
repentance
.
Arbaces
(
who
was
called
Arphaxad
)
was
then
Emperour
.
This
Arbaces
,
Iustine
lib.
2.
calleth
Arbactus
:
he
was
a
Captain
of
the
Medes
,
who
perceiving
the
effeminate
disposition
of
Sardanapalus
,
the
then
Emperour
,
taking
advantage
of
the
times
,
and
this
man's
weakness
,
conspired
with
some
of
his
Companions
to
usurp
upon
his
Government
:
and
that
he
might
make
them
hate
and
loath
his
looseness
,
brought
them
into
a
Room
where
they
might
see
him
sitting
amongst
his
Harlots
,
tired
in
Womans
apparel
,
and
carding
Wool
.
This
sight
greatly
displeasing
them
,
and
before
being
encouraged
by
Arbactus
,
they
seized
upon
the
City
,
and
besieged
Sardanapalus
in
his
Palace
.
But
to
prevent
the
misery
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
fifteen
days
,
and
happened
823
years
before
Christ
:
about
which
time
Arbactus
succeeded
Sardanapalus
,
began
to
reign
,
and
continued
his
Government
twenty
eight
years
.
But
the
Medes
held
not
the
Assyrian
Empire
long
;
for
Phul
Belochus
,
who
at
this
time
reigned
in
Babylon
,
and
his
Successor
Tiglath
Philasser
,
are
called
Kings
of
Assyria
,
between
whom
there
happened
many
great
Wars
,
2
Kings
,
15.
26.
From
whence
may
be
gathered
,
that
after
the
death
of
Arbactus
,
these
Emperours
dwelt
in
Nineveh
,
and
succeeded
in
the
Empire
.
Thus
was
this
City
greatly
defaced
with
continual
evils
,
the
Lord
before-hand
giving
them
many
admonitions
and
gentle
Corrections
(
if
it
had
been
in
them
to
have
conceived
it
)
to
win
them
to
repentance
;
but
they
continued
still
in
their
Sins
,
therefore
,
according
to
their
former
Prophecies
,
Cyaxares
King
of
the
Medes
besieging
this
Town
,
took
it
,
and
destroyed
it
even
unto
the
Ground
,
as
Eusebius
saith
.
This
desolation
happened
thirteen
years
before
the
destruction
of
Ierusalem
,
in
the
eleventh
year
of
Sadyattis
King
of
the
Lydians
,
who
was
Grandfather
to
Croesus
,
Anno
Mundi
,
3349
,
before
Christ
,
619.
After
this
Destruction
it
lay
a
long
time
desolate
,
but
at
length
some
part
of
it
was
restored
,
though
with
much
trouble
;
and
then
,
when
it
was
at
the
best
estate
,
constrained
to
suffer
many
changes
;
and
at
length
utterly
destroyed
by
Tamerlane
the
Great
the
second
time
,
Anno
Mundi
,
3390.
After
this
,
the
Inhabitants
of
that
Country
,
upon
the
East
side
of
the
River
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
Government
of
the
Country
thereabouts
,
or
because
of
the
scituation
,
or
for
private
profit
,
it
is
not
set
down
:
nevertheless
it
is
again
repaired
,
standing
upon
the
Borders
of
Armenia
,
beautified
with
goodly
Buildings
,
with
fair
and
spacious
Streets
,
compassed
about
(
as
other
Cities
of
the
East
are
)
with
Walls
and
Ditches
sufficiently
strengthened
to
oppose
the
Enemy
.
But
in
respect
of
the
former
Nineveh
,
it
seems
a
small
Village
.
It
hath
a
Bridge
built
of
Ships
,
lying
upon
the
East
side
of
it
over
the
River
Tygris
;
and
upon
that
side
of
the
River
there
stand
many
fair
Gardens
or
Orchards
;
and
the
Land
there
also
is
very
fertile
and
pleasant
.
But
upon
the
West
of
Tygris
the
Soyl
is
nothing
so
fruittile
.
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
Town
there
is
a
great
resort
of
Merchants
,
who
bring
up
their
Commodities
from
the
Rier
Tygris
hither
,
and
from
hence
convey
them
to
Bagdeth
,
and
many
other
parts
of
the
World
.
The
Inhabitants
thereof
are
for
the
most
part
Nestorians
;
of
whom
you
may
read
before
,
in
the
Description
of
the
Sects
remaining
in
Ierusalem
at
this
day
.
They
are
had
in
great
account
and
estimation
among
the
Turks
,
because
it
is
imagined
that
one
of
this
Sect
helpt
Mahomet
to
compose
the
Alcoran
.
This
Nestorius
lived
Anno
Dom.
429.
and
taught
at
Constantinople
;
but
after
he
was
condemned
at
Ephesus
for
an
Heretick
,
he
was
constrained
to
steal
from
Constantinople
,
and
to
flie
to
Thebes
in
Aegypt
;
where
God
laid
a
grievous
punishment
upon
him
;
for
his
Tongue
began
to
rot
his
head
,
and
to
consume
with
Vermin
,
of
which
he
died
miserably
.
The
spiritual
signification
of
the
Prophet
Jonas
.
JOnas
signifieth
a
Dove
,
and
typically
representeth
Christ
in
his
name
.
For
Christ
was
that
gracious
and
innocent
Dove
,
who
hath
made
evident
to
Man
his
singular
Mercy
and
Clemency
,
without
any
shew
of
bitterness
or
wrath
.
Then
in
his
Affliction
;
for
as
Ionas
thrust
himself
into
the
Sea
of
Calamity
,
and
there
was
swallowed
up
of
a
Whale
,
which
might
be
well
resembled
to
the
Grave
,
so
Christ
our
Saviour
was
cast
into
the
Sea
of
Affliction
;
the
misery
and
calamity
of
this
World
;
and
after
that
,
thrust
into
the
jaws
of
death
,
the
Grave
;
where
(
as
Ionas
did
.
in
the
Whales
belly
)
he
lay
three
daies
,
and
then
arose
again
,
the
Earth
being
unable
any
longer
to
contain
his
Body
.
Of
the
Prophet
Micah
.
THIS
Prophet
was
born
at
Maresa
a
Town
of
Iudaea
,
sixteen
miles
from
Ierusalem
Westward
;
it
signifieth
a
bitter
Field
.
In
St
Ierom's
time
the
Ruins
of
the
Wall
of
this
City
was
to
be
seen
.
Micah
,
or
Micheas
,
signifieth
humble
or
lowly
.
This
man
was
held
in
great
estimation
,
because
he
was
the
first
that
named
the
Country
where
our
Saviour
Christ
should
be
born
,
viz.
in
Bethlehem
,
800
years
before
his
Nativity
.
He
lived
Anno
Mundi
3200.
Of
the
Prophet
Nahum
.
NAhum
signifies
a
Comforter
.
He
was
born
in
a
Town
of
Galilee
called
Elcosch
,
as
he
saith
in
the
beginning
of
his
Prophecy
.
This
Village
was
shewn
unto
St.
Ierome
,
by
those
that
travelled
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
,
sixteen
miles
and
something
more
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
North-East
.
This
Prophet
lived
750
years
before
Christ
,
and
Prophesied
of
the
Destruction
of
Niniveh
,
which
after
came
to
pass
.
Of
the
Prophet
Habacuck
.
HAbacuck
,
or
Chabacuck
,
signifies
,
one
that
embraceth
,
or
a
Lover
;
from
Chaback
,
he
hath
embraced
.
For
as
a
Nurse
embraceth
and
kisseth
her
in●ant
,
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
driven
to
desperation
.
Paul
took
the
foundation
of
his
Epistle
to
the
Romans
out
of
this
Prophet
,
reciting
a
saying
of
his
.
viz.
The
ju●t
shall
live
by
faith
.
He
began
to
preach
a
little
before
the
Prophet
Ieremy
,
650
years
before
Christ
,
above
100
years
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
he
was
among
the
Lions
;
but
they
rather
think
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
derived
of
Zaphan
,
he
hath
kept
secret
.
He
lived
in
Ierusalem
and
Iudaea
in
the
time
of
Iosiah
King
of
Iuda
.
He
was
born
(
as
Dorotheus
Bishop
of
Tyre
saith
)
in
a
Town
called
Sabarthaca
in
the
Tribe
of
Si●eon
.
Of
the
Prophets
Haggai
and
Zacharia
.
HAggai
or
Chaggi
signifieth
,
A
Priest
celebrating
the
Feast
of
the
Lord
;
being
derived
of
Chagag
,
he
hath
celebrated
a
Feast
.
And
Zacharias
or
Zacharia
doth
denote
,
such
a
man
as
remembred
the
Lord
;
being
derived
of
Zachar
,
that
is
,
he
hath
remembred
or
recorded
.
These
two
Prophets
prophecied
in
Ierusalem
in
the
second
year
of
Darius
the
Son
of
Histaspis
,
519
years
before
Christ
,
An.
mun.
3449.
Haggai
began
his
Prophecy
upon
the
first
day
of
the
sixth
month
Elul
,
answering
to
the
28
of
August
.
He
sharply
reprehended
the
People
because
they
neglected
the
house
of
the
Lord
,
and
built
up
their
own
houses
.
In
the
eighth
month
Marhusuan
(
which
for
the
most
part
answereth
to
our
November
)
Zacharias
the
same
year
began
to
prophecy
,
and
in
his
Sermon
exhorted
the
People
to
repentance
,
adding
the
promise
of
our
Saviour
,
and
that
he
would
turn
unto
them
that
would
turn
unto
him
,
Zach.
1.
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
,
near
to
a
Town
in
the
field
of
Bethania
,
20
miles
from
Ierusalem
Westward
;
but
in
the
time
of
Theodosius
the
Emperour
was
removed
and
preserved
as
an
holy
Relique
.
Concerning
that
fable
and
figment
inserted
into
the
History
Nicephorus
,
I
utterly
disallow
.
Of
the
Prophet
Malachi
THIS
Prophet
prophesied
after
the
Captivity
of
Babylon
,
and
dwelt
in
the
Town
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
been
an
Angel
of
God
;
but
principally
of
Christ
,
and
Saint
Iohn
Baptist
,
who
should
go
before
him
,
to
prepare
his
Way
and
make
his
Paths
strait
.
S.
Ierom
in
his
Epistle
to
Paul
and
Eustochius
writes
,
that
some
of
the
Hebrews
suppose
this
Malachi
to
have
been
Esdras
the
Scribe
,
who
was
sent
by
Artaxerxes
Longimanus
Emperour
of
the
Persians
,
to
restore
the
Commonwealth
of
Israel
,
in
the
year
before
Christ
457.
An
Instruction
how
the
Prophets
may
rightly
be
understood
.
FIRST
look
into
the
Cosmographical
Table
at
the
beginning
of
this
Book
,
and
diligently
observe
the
Countries
and
Cities
that
are
there
set
down
,
and
how
they
lie
scituated
from
Ierusalem
.
Toward
the
South
of
Ierusalem
,
the
Idumeans
,
Ismaelites
,
Arabians
and
Egyptians
dwell
.
Toward
the
East
,
the
Moabites
,
Ammonites
,
Chaldaeans
,
Babylonians
,
and
Persians
.
Toward
the
North
,
the
Phoenicians
,
Syrians
,
Assyrians
,
and
Armenians
.
Toward
the
West
lieth
the
Mediterranean
Sea
,
Gr●cia
,
Italy
,
Spain
,
and
the
Isles
of
the
Sea
.
Secondly
,
this
rule
is
to
be
observed
,
that
as
often
as
the
Prophets
speak
of
the
Tribes
of
Israel
,
they
use
these
names
viz.
Israel
,
Samaria
,
Ephrain
,
Ioseth
,
Iesreel
,
Bethel
,
and
Bethaven
;
these
are
the
names
of
the
Kingdom
of
Israel
:
but
to
the
Kingdom
of
Iuda
these
names
are
attributed
,
viz.
Iuda●
,
Ierusalem
,
Benjamin
,
the
house
of
David
.
But
when
the
Prophets
joyn
these
two
Kingdoms
together
,
they
call
them
by
the
names
of
Iacob
and
Israel
.
Thirdly
,
when
thou
readest
in
the
Prophets
,
the
name
of
any
Country
or
City
which
is
not
sufficiently
known
unto
thee
,
search
this
Alphabetical
Table
here
following
,
and
thou
shalt
find
the
whole
matter
declared
unto
thee
.
Of
the
Cities
and
Places
mentioned
in
his
Travels
.
Of
Antiochia
.
ANtiochia
,
where
Antiochus
Epiphanes
kept
his
Court
,
was
anciently
called
Chaemath
,
or
Riblah
.
It
was
scituated
in
Syria
,
180
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
North
,
near
to
the
Cities
,
Seleucia
,
Laodicea
,
and
Apamea
,
which
four
Cities
(
as
Strabo
saith
in
the
sixteenth
Book
of
his
Geography
)
were
built
by
Seleucus
Nicanor
first
King
of
Syria
.
This
man
was
a
mighty
Prince
,
and
obtained
the
Name
of
Nicanor
(
which
signifieth
Victory
)
because
he
prospered
in
his
Wars
,
and
conquered
his
Adversaries
.
For
,
when
(
within
13
years
after
the
Death
of
Alexander
the
Great
)
he
had
got
the
Kingdom
of
Syria
,
he
became
so
great
in
the
31
year
of
his
Reign
,
that
he
obtained
the
Empire
of
all
the
East
;
and
beside
(
as
Strabo
saith
)
re-edified
and
built
up
these
four
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
four
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
excellency
of
Building
.
It
was
divided
into
four
parts
,
and
those
parts
separated
with
four
Walls
:
The
first
,
which
was
anciently
called
Hemath
(
a
violent
Anger
)
of
Chamathai
the
Son
of
Canaan
;
was
after
Riblath
,
from
the
multitude
of
the
Inhabitants
;
and
the
third
time
by
Seleucus
,
after
his
Father's
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
Citizens
of
Syria
inhabited
.
In
the
third
,
Seleuchus
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
City
there
stood
a
pleasant
Wood
,
watered
with
many
clear
Fountains
and
delightful
Springs
,
to
which
there
resorted
a
great
multitude
of
Fowls
of
divers
sorts
,
which
sung
very
pleasantly
among
the
Trees
,
to
the
great
content
and
delectation
of
the
Citizens
.
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
Country
thereabout
is
called
Epidaphne

Not
far
off
standeth
the
River
Orontes
,
which
beginneth
in
Coelosyria

and
passeth
under

till
it
comes
near
to

,
where
it
riseth
and
watereth
all

So
passing
thence
,
it
runneth
some

Of

.
PErsepolis
was
the
Metropolitan
City
of
Persia
,
distant
from
Ierusalem
1240
miles
Eastward
.
So
called
of
Perseus
that
mighty
King
of
the
Persians
,
who
re-edified
it
and
gave
it
that
name
;
which
is
as
much
as
to
say
,
the
City
of
the
Persians
,
which
also
of
him
were
so
called
.
The
Astronomers
,
because
he
was
greatly
affected
to
such
as
were
skilful
in
that
Art
,
attributed
his
name
and
his
Wives
name
to
two
Constellations
in
the
Heavens
,
of
which
Ovid's
Fable
is
contributed
of
Pegasus
and
Andromache
.
This
City
of
Persepolis
was
so
fair
,
that
it
exceeded
all
the
Cities
of
the
East
both
for
Stateliness
,
and
Beauty
,
and
so
continued
from
Perseus
time
,
until
Alexander
the
Great
had
conquered
Darius
:
at
which
time
,
this
great
Emperour
having
got
into
his
hand
the
whole
Empire
of
the
Persians
,
came
to
Persepolis
in
the
year
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
lived
dissolutely
:
amongst
whom
was
that
notable
Curtesan
Thais
;
who
perceiving
the
King
inclined
to
Mirth
,
and
full
with
Wine
,
began
to
flatter
him
in
his
Cups
,
and
among
other
things
to
commend
and
dignifie
his
Noble
Exploits
,
withal
giving
him
to
understand
,
how
acceptable
it
would
be
to
the
Grecians
to
see
the
Royal
Palace
of
the
Persians
fired
,
which
had
so
often
afflicted
Grecia
.
No
sooner
had
she
uttered
these
words
,
but
another
seconded
her
,
and
then
a
third
.
After
,
the
whole
assembly
cried
out
,
Shall
we
revenge
the
Injury
of
the
Grecians
,
and
burn
the
City
?
With
that
they
all
rose
in
great
fury
,
the
King
himself
(
being
crowned
)
beginning
first
to
fire
the
Palace
,
wherein
was
great
abundance
of
Cedar
,
from
whence
it
happened
,
that
suddenly
the
fire
spread
it self
a
great
way
;
which
when
the
Army
that
lay
without
the
Walls
perceived
,
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
himself
busie
in
this
Tragedy
,
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
Souldiers
in
such
Massacres
,
made
a
Prey
of
what
they
could
get
;
increasing
the
fire
with
dry
stuff
and
other
Combustible
matter
,
whereby
it
came
to
pass
that
the
whole
City
was
therew●th
fired
and
burnt
to
the
ground
.
This
was
the
end
of
that
mighty
City
which
ruled
over
so
many
Nations
,
where
so
many
mighty
Princes
governed
,
that
was
the
scourge
of
Grecia
and
the
greatest
part
of
the
World
,
that
sent
forth
a
Navy
of
10000
Ships
and
an
Army
of
an
infinite
number
:
there
being
an
infinite
number
;
there
being
at
this
day
nothing
to
be
seen
,
unless
the
River
Araxes
that
ran
close
by
it
remaineth
.
Thus
was
that
consumed
in
a
fury
,
which
the
King
and
all
his
Army
before
endeavoured
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
himself
,
after
he
had
slept
,
repented
what
he
had
done
.
You
shall
find
in
2
Mac.
cap.
6.
That
Antiochus
Epiphanes
besieged
a
certain
City
in
Persia
called
Persepolis
,
from
whence
,
for
his
exceeding
Covetousness
and
Sacriledge
,
he
was
forced
by
the
Inhabitants
dwelling
about
the
Town
,
to
raise
his
Siege
and
be
gone
.
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
find
,
that
this
City
,
so
besieged
by
Antiochus
,
was
also
called
Elymais
,
wherein
stood
the
Temple
of
Diana
,
beautified
with
many
goodly
Ornaments
,
shining
with
the
splendor
of
fine
Gold
wherewith
it
was
gilt
.
In
which
Temple
,
as
saith
Iosephus
,
lib.
Ant.
12.
Alexander
the
Great
left
his
Armour
and
other
things
.
From
whence
may
be
gathered
,
that
this
Town
was
not
the
Persepolis
which
he
caused
to
be
burn'd
,
but
rather
some
other
Town
built
out
of
the
Ruines
of
that
City
(
according
to
the
opinion
of
Quintus
Curtius
)
or
else
some
Village
standing
near
to
it
,
which
being
built
up
and
enlarged
,
might
of
some
be
called
new
Persepolis
,
though
indeed
it
was
anciently
called
Elymais
,
and
all
the
East
part
of
Persia
beyond
Susa
,
of
that
Town
called
Elematica
,
having
some
affinity
with
Elam
the
ancient
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
never
restored
,
but
lieth
waste
to
this
day
.
Thus
the
Empire
of
the
Persians
(
after
they
had
ruled
over
the
Nations
of
the
Earth
260
years
)
was
conquered
by
the
Grecians
,
who
held
it
129
years
.
At
the
end
of
which
time
,
Demetrius
Nicanor
,
the
last
Emperour
of
the
Grecians
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
Citizens
of
Elymais
,
the
Persians
,
and
Bactrians
meeting
him
in
those
parts
,
gave
him
many
sharp
and
cruel
Battels
,
and
in
the
end
(
under
the
pretence
of
Peace
)
took
him
Prisoner
,
in
the
year
before
Christ
137.
and
from
that
time
the
Parthians
governed
Persia
and
Grecia
,
and
opposed
the
Romans
in
many
cruel
Battels
.
Afterward
,
in
the
year
of
our
Lord
,
226
,
Artaxerxes
that
mighty
Lord
of
Persia
overcame
Artabanus
King
of
the
Parthians
in
a
mighty
Battel
,
and
took
his
Crown
from
his
head
:
the
same
year
entring
upon
the
Goverment
of
Persia
,
548
years
after
the
death
of
Alexander
the
Great
:
from
which
time
,
Artaxerxes
and
his
Posterity
reigned
in
Persia
for
the
Space
of
314
years
;
in

the
Son

the
Son

of

of
whom
you
may

,
1
Chr.

He
dwelt
in
a
Town
called
Modin
,
fourteen
miles
from
Ierusalem
,
toward
the
North-West
,
scituated
in
a
Mountain
,
close
by
the
way
as
you
go
to
Ioppa
,
in
the
Tribe
of
Dan.
Modin
signifieth
a
Measure
,
being
derived
of
Madad
,
he
hath
measured
.
In
this
place
,
seeing
the
cruelty
of
Antiochus
Epiphanes
,
and
the
Insolence
of
his
Souldiers
,
he
killed
one
of
his
Captains
,
and
afterward
in
the
Synagogue
put
to
death
an
Idolatrous
Iew
,
overthrew
the
Altar
set
up
by
Antiochus
;
after
called
forth
all
the
Inhabitants
of
Modin
,
and
other
Towns
near
adjoyning
,
to
withstand
the
fury
of
this
King
.
So
they
brought
their
Goods
out
of
the
City
,
into
the
Wilderness
,
where
they
incamped
themselves
,
and
after
,
so
manfully
opposed
Antiochus
,
that
he
delivered
all
the
Cities
and
Towns
thereabouts
out
of
his
Bondage
,
and
from
Idolatry
.
But
being
now
grown
old
,
(
after
he
had
admonished
his
Sons
to
Constancy
in
the
Service
of
God
,
and
Courage
in
Defence
of
the
Country
)
he
died
in
the
year
before
Christ
,
164
,
and
was
buried
at
Modin
,
where
afterward
his
Sons
were
buried
.
Simon
,
his
third
Son
,
high
Priest
of
Ierusalem
,
did
marvellously
beautifie
this
Sepulchre
;
for
he
made
a
Vault
of
white
Marble
,
compassed
about
with
fair
Pillars
,
which
supported
an
admirable
curious
Arch
,
to
see
to
as
if
it
had
been
one
stone
.
Over
this
Vault
,
in
convenient
places
,
he
built
seven
Pyramids
,
in
memory
of
his
Father
,
Mother
,
his
four
Brethren
,
and
himself
.
In
the
Circumference
of
this
Monument
he
set
up
fair
Marble
Pillars
,
upon
which
he
caused
to
be
ingraven
Ships
,
so
artificially
,
that
they
which
sailed
upon
the
Sea
might
see
them
;
and
upon
these
he
placed
the
Arms
of
his
Father
,
and
of
his
Brethren

his
Father
Mattathias
in
the
year
before
Christ
164
,
Anno
Mundi
3804.
and
ruled
six
years
.
Immediately
after
his
Father's
death
,
who
,
as
is
said
,
was
buried
in
Modin

he
led
his
Army

chief

who
at
that
time
was
in

When

(
who
was
also

chief
Captains
in

)
heard
that
Iudas
Macchabeus
had
overcome
Apollonius
,
and
put
him
to
death
,
he
was
very
angry
,
and
said
,
I
will
go
and
conquer
Judas
Machabeus
and
those
that
are
with
him
,
that
so
I
may
get
my self
a
name
,
and
be
famous
through
the
whole
Kingdom
:
so
he
came
out
of
Syria
,
and
pitched
his
Tents
near
Bethoron
the
lower
,
in
the
Tribe
of
Iudah
,
thirty
two
miles
from
Samaria
.
But
Iudas
went
down
to
him
to
Bethoron
,
where
he
broke
into
his
Camp
,
overcame
his
whole
Army
,
and
put
him
to
the
Sword
,
with
8000
of
his
men
,
but
the
rest
fled
into

These
two
Victories
he
obtained
in

which
he
made
the
name
of
Macchabees
famous
through

in
the
Land
of
the

of
Bean
(
which
people
troubled
the

and
put
them
to

where
,
in

,
he
fired
their
Haven
,
burn'd

who
continued
at

against
Timotheus
Governour

Ammonites
;
but
he
was
gone
thence
and
had
done
nothing
,
but
left
a
Garrison
in
a
strong
hold
.
Wherefore
Dositheus
and
Sosipater
(
which
were
Captains
with
Macchab.
)
went
forth
and
slew
those
that
Timotheus
had
left
in
the
Fortress
more
than
10000
men
:
Timotheus
himself
also
fell
into
their
hands

,
won
the
Town
,
burn'd
it
with

This
was
a

he
destroyed

From

he
went
to
meet
Timotheus
,
chief
Captain
of
the
Syrians
,
who
came
with
a
great
Army
to
invade
Iudaea
.
But
when
the
Battel
waxed
hot
,
there
appeared
to
the
Enemies
from
Heaven
,
five
comely
men
upon
Horses
,
with
Bridles
of
Gold
,
two
of
which
led
the
Iews
,
and
took
Macchabeus
between
them
,
and
covered
him
on
every
side
with
their
Weapons
,
that
none
could
hurt
him
;
but
against
their
Enemies
they
shot
Darts
and
Lightnings
,
so
that
they
were
confounded
with
Blindness
,
and
beaten
down
;
whereby
the
Iews
obtained
a
great
Victory
,
and
put
to
the
Sword
20500
Foot
,
and
600
Horse
;
the
rest
seeing
this
great
Slaughter
,
fled
.
So
Iudas
praised
the
Lord
,
and
pursued
the
Enemies
to
Gazara
,
being
sixteen
miles
.
Here
Timotheus
hid
himself
in
a
Cave
;
but
the
Iews
took
the
City
,
found
him
out
,
and
put
him
to
death
,
together
with
his
Brother
Chaerea
and
Pollophanes
,

From

,
Iudas

In
the
Year
following
,
which
was
the
fifth
of
his
Reign
,
and
160
before
Christ
,
Iudas
Macchab
▪
besieged
the
Tower
of
Sion
in
Ierusalem
,
because
those
that
were
in
the
Garrison
had
put
to
the
Sword
some
of
the
Iews
that
were
sacrificing
in
the
Temple
.
But
Antiochus
Eupator
,
the
Son
of
Antiochus
Epiphanes
,
hearing
of
it
;
at
the
Instigation
of
Menelaus
,
Chief
Priest
of
the
Iews
,
brought
a
great
Army
to
their
Rescue
;
wherefore
Iudas
Macchabeus
hearing
of
his
coming
,
left
the
Siege
,
and
went
from
Ierusalem
to
Modin
to
meet
him
,
which
was
14
miles
:
Here
he
overcame
Antiochus
,
destroyed
his
Elephants
,
and
put
4000
of
his
Souldiers
to
the
Sword
,
2
Mac.

When
King
Antiochus
had
felt
a
taste
of
the
boldness
of
the
Jews
,
he
went
with
his
Army
through
by-ways
,
and
secret
Passages
to
the
Castle
of
Bethsu●a
,
which
he
besieged
,
whither
Iudas
followed
him
,
which
was
twelve
miles
;
encamped
himself
a
mile
from
Bethsura
,
in
a
straight
place
called
Bethzachara
.
Here
Antiochus
,
betimes
in
the
Morning
(
thinking
to
take
the
Army
of
the
Iews
at
an
Advantage
)
set
upon
them
:
But
the
Iews
and
their
Leaders
behaved
themselves
so
manfully
,
that
they
put
Antiochus
the
second
time
to
flight
,
and
kill'd
600
of
his
men
.
In
this
Battel
Eliazer

the
Brother
of

,
was
slain

From

he
returned
back
to

being

and
when
the
King
had
taken
the
Town
of
Bethsura
(
for
they
were
constrained
to
yield
by
reason
of
Famine
)
he
followed
Iudas
,
with
whom
he
joyned
the
third
time
in
Battel
;
but
Iudas
overcame
him
,
and
put
to
the
Sword
many
of
his
Army
.
Wherefore
,
having
certain
Intelligence
that
Philip
(
whom
he
had
made
Over-seer
of
the
Affairs
at
Antiochia
)
rebelled
,
he
made
a
Peace
with
Iudas
Macchabeus
,
was
appeased
towards
the
Iews
,
did
sacrifice
,
adorned
the
Temple
,
and
shewed
great
Gentleness
towards
the
People
.
So
Antiochus
departed
out
of
Iudaea
,
and
took
Menelaus
,
that
seditious
High-Priest
,
along
with
him
captive

a

Desolation

Destruction
to
it
and

A
little
after
,
that
is
to
say
,
almost
at
the
end
of
the
sixth
year
of
his
Government
,
Iudas
Macchabeus
went
out
with
3000
chosen
men
in
his
Army
,
and
pitched
his
Tents
near
Laisa
,
twelve
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
West
:
but
when
the
Iews
perceived
the
mighty
Army
of
Bacchides
(
for
he
had
20000
foo●
,
and
2000
Horse
in
his
Host
)
there
were
many
of
them
discouraged
,
so
that
all
left
him
but
800
men
;
yet
nevertheless
,
Iudas
constrained
by
necessity
,
withstood
Bacchides
,
and
so
manfully
behaved
himself
in
the
Battel
,
that
he
overcame
him
,
and
put
him
to
flight
,
1
Mac.

His
Enemies
being
thus
put
to
flight
,
he
pursued
them
to
the
Mountains
of
Azotus
and
Gazeron
,
which
was
six
miles
;
where
,
being
oppressed
with
the
multitude
,
and
hemmed
in
amongst
them
,
was
slain
.
He
died
in
the
Month
Nisan
,
which
answers
to
our
April
,
Anno
Mundi
3810.
and

Christ

From
the
Mountains
of
Azotus
and
Gazeron
his
dead
Body
was
carried
back
again
to
Modin
,
being
6
miles
,
and
there
buried
.
So
his
Travels
were
915
miles
.
Of
the
Towns
and
Places
to
which
he
travelled
.
Of
Mispa
,
Iamnia
,
and
Laisa
,
you

read
before
.
Of
Caspin
.
THIS
City
stood
not
far
from
Iamnia
,
16
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
North-west
.
This
Town
,
though
it
was
strongly
fortified
,
yet
Iudas
Macchabeus
won
it
,
2
Mac.

It
is
called
Caspin
,
of
Keseph
,
which
signifies
,
Silver
.
There
was
another
City
called
Casphor
,
that
is
,
the
Silver
Mountain
,
this
stood
in
the
Land
of
Gilead
near
Mispa
,
which
Iudas
also
won
,
1
Mac.

Of
Asseremoth
,
otherwise
called
Gazaron
.
GAzaron
or
Gareza
was
a
City
of
the
Philistines
near
Ekron
,
sixteen
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
West
.
It
is
so
called
from
the
Cliff
of
a
Rock
;
being
derived
of
Gezer
,
which
signifies
a
Cliff
.
Here
Iudas
Macchabeus
was
slain
,
1
Mac.

Of
the
Tubiani
.
TVbiani
are
a
People
that
dwelt
beyond
Iordan
,
in
that
part
of
Arabia-Petraea
which
is
called
Nabathea
,
of
Nabaioth
the
Son
of
Ishmael
,
near
to
a
Mountain
of
the
Gileadites
,
not
far
distant
from
Abel
of
the
Vines
,
where
it
is
thought
Balaam's
Ass
spoke
.
This
Land
is
called
Thubin
,
and
the
Inhabitants
Tubiani
;
because
all
that
Country
bringeth
forth
very
pleasant
and
excellent
Wine
;
being
derived
of
Zob
,
which
signifies
good
,
and
Iaiin
,
Wine
.
In
this
Country
Iudas
Macchabeus
continued
three
days
with
his
Army
.
Of
Caphar-Salama
.
THIS
Town
stood
twelve
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
North
:
In
Herod
the
Great
's
time
in
was
enlarged
and
made
a
very
fair
City
,
which
he
caused
to
be
called
Antipatridis
,
after
the
Name
of
his
Father
Antipater
;
of
which
you
may
read
more
in
the
Travels
of
the
Apostle
Paul
.
Of
Adarsa
.
THIS
was
a
Town
in
the
Tribe
of
Ephraim
,
between
Antipatridis
and
Bethoron
the
lower
,
twelve
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
North-west
.
It
seemeth
to
be
thus
called
from
a
noble
Gift
,
for
it
is
derived
of
Adar
,
which
signifies
illustrious
,
and
Schal
,
a
Gift
.
The
Typical
Signification
of
Judas
Macchabeus
.
JVdas
Macchabeus
is
a
Type
and
Figure
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
;
and
Antiochus
of
that
wicked
Antichrist
,
as
the
Interpretation
of
their
names
do
evidently
declare
;
for
,
Iudas
signifies
a
Confessor
,
praising
God
and
glorifying
his
Name
for
all
his
Benefits
;
so
Christ
the
Son
of
God
is
the
Praise
and
Glory
of
his
Father
,
for
that
in
him
,
and
by
him
,
God
the
Father
is
praised
,
as
is
evident
in
the
Song
of
Simeon
.
In
like
manner
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
is
worthily
called
Macchabeus
,
for
Macchabeus
is
a
sir-name
of
the
Iews
,
which
is
written
after
this
manner
,
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
Machabai
,
every
Letter
of
which
signifieth
a
several
Word
,
according
to
the
Song
of
Moses
in
the
fifteenth
Chapter
of
Exodus
,
where
are
these
Words
,
Michamocha
baelim
Iehovah
,
that
is
,
Who
is
like
unto
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
used
as
an
Adage
;
and
the
Letters
at
the
beginning
of
these
Words
being
joyned
together
into
one
Word
,
make
the
sir-name
Macchabai
.
Therefore
as
he
had
always
this
golden
Sentence
in
his
Mouth
,
so
had
he
it
likewise
in
his
Name
,
yea
,
in
his
Ensigns
.
Wherefore
this
name
likewise
is
worthy
to
be
attributed
to
Christ
;
for
he
is
that
perfect
Image
and
Glory
of
his
eternal
Father
,
Heb.
1.
who
is
called
Michael
,
that
is
,
Who
is
like
unto
God
?
and
Macchabeus
,
or
Machabai
,
that
is
,
Who
is
like
unto
thee
amongst
the
Gods
,
O
Lord
.
Therefore
he
saith
thus
,
I
am
that
great
God
that
will
deliver
you
from
all
evil
.
Ecce
,
Deus
fortis
foelix
,
de
morte
resurgo
:
Tartareosque
unguens
,
Daemona
ipse
ligo
.
Behold
,
I
am
the
God
of
Might
,
from
death
to
Life
that
rose
:
I
bind
the
Devil
to
my
Will
,
his
Furies
I
oppose
.
But
Antiochus
signifies
an
adversary
,
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
Machabeus
,
and
true
Captain
of
the
Church
.
For
as
the
one
(
viz.
Antiochus
)
was
an
adversary
against
the
Iews
,
the
Children
of
God
;
so
the
other
,
(
that
is
,
Antichrist
)
is
an
adversary
and
Enemy
against
Christ
and
his
Church
,
&c.

But
understanding
that
Bacchides
,
chief
Captain
of
Demetrius
King
of
Syria
,
went
about
to
take
away
his
life
by
craft
,
he
and
his
Brother
Simon
went
from
Modin
,
and
pitched
their
Tents
in
the
Wilderness
of
Tecoah
,
near
to
the
Lake
of
Asphar
,
which
was
twenty
miles
.
From
thence
they
sent
their
Brother
John
with
certain
Riches
to
the
Nabathians
,
which
dwelt
in
Medaba
in
Arabia
(
twenty
eight
miles
)
desiring
them
in
Friendship
to
receive
their
Goods
into
the
Town
,
and
to
keep
them
for
their
use
:
but
the
Sons
of
Iambri
and
the
Nabathians
issued
out
of
Medaba
unawares
,
fell
upon
John
,
put
him
to
death
,
took
away
all
his
Wealth
,
and
returned
into
their
City
with
great
joy
.
But
Jonathan
and
Simon
took
this
injury
very
heavily
,
and
much
bewailed
the
death
of
their
Brother
:
Wherefore
,
that
they
might
be
revenged
of
the
inhabitants
of
Medaba
,
they
went
thence
twenty
eight
miles
,
and
hid
themselves
among
the
Mountains
,
just
in
the
way
that
led
from
Medaba
to
Canaan
;
for
they
had
heard
that
the
Sons
of
Iambri
and
the
Inhabitants
of
Medaba
were
gone
forth
with
great
Jollity
to
fetch
home
a
Bride
,
which
was
a
Princes
Daughter
of
the
Land
of
Canaan
;
Now
as
they
were
merry
upon
the
way
,
Jonathan
,
and
Simon
his
Brother
,
with
their
Army
,
went
out
from
among
the
Mountains
,
and
put
a
great
number
of
them
to
the
Sword
,
taking
away
a
mighty
Spoyl
.
From
Medaba
they
went
to
the
River
Jordan
,
which
was
three
miles
,
where
,
upon
the
East
side
of
the
River
they
pitched
their
Tents
;
here
he
was
constrained
to
fight
a
cruel
Battel
with
Bacchides
upon
the
Sabboth-day
;
but
as
he
was
in
the
fight
,
he
met
Bacchides
,
and
lift
up
his
hand
to
strike
at
him
;
but
he
seeing
the
danger
,
retired
.
Nevertheless
he
put
to
the
Sword
1000
of
his
men
,
and
after
,
he
and
his
Followers
leapt
into
the
River
and
swam
over
:
so
they
all
escaped
without
Danger
.
In
the
fifty
sixth
year
of
the
Grecians
Government
in
Syria
,
which
was
the
fifth
year
of
the
Principality
of
Ionathan
,
Bacchides
returned
again
with
his
Army
into
Iudaea
,
and
besieged
Ionathan
and
Simon
in
Bethbesan
,
otherwise
called
Bethgalam
,
some
three
miles
distant
from
Iordan
.
Here
Ionathan
,
leaving
his
Brother
Simon
in
the
City
,
stole
out
by
a
Postern
,
and
went
to
all
the
Villages
near
adjoyning
,
from
whence
he
gathered
an
Army
of
Chosen
men
,
and
set
upon
Bacchides
:
Simon
also
broke
out
of
the
City
,
and
set
upon
him
,
so
that
they
greatly
oppressed
him
and
burned
his
Tents
,
1
Mac.

Wherefore
,
when
Bacchides
understood
that
Ionathan
and
Simon
had
fortified
that
City
,
and
that
the
Iews
were
ready
to
defend
it
,
he
concluded
a
Peace
with
Ionathan
;
the
Captives
of
either
part
were
re-delivered
,
and
the
Iews
lived
in
Peace
a
good
while
after
,
1
Mac.

From
Bethbesan
,
Ionathan
went
to
Michmas
,
being
six
miles
:
here
he
dwelt
for
a
while
,
and
judged
the
People
of
Israel
,
cherishing
the
good
,
and
rooting
out
the
Evil
from
amongst
them
,
1
Mac.

From
Michmas
he
went
to
Ierusalem
,
which
was
ten
miles
.
Hither
Alexander
King
of
Syria
,
and
Son
of
Antiochus
Epiphanes
,
sent
him
a
Purple
Robe
and
a
Golden
Crown
,
and
ordained
him
High-Priest
of
the
Iews
.
Wherefore
Ionathan
,
on
the
day
of
the
Feast
of
the
Tabernacles
,
which
was
in
the
year
before
Christ
,
150
,
took
upon
him
the
Office
to
be
high
Priest
,
1
Mac.

The
next
year
after
,
which
was
the
tenth
of
Ionathan's
Rule
,
(
after
the
death
of
Demetrius
King
of
Syria
,
who
was
slain
in
the
Wars
against
Alexander
)
there
appeared
a
Comet
of
an
Extraordinary
greatness
,
which
was
of
such
an
exceeding
brightness
,
that
it
took
away
the
darkness
of
the
Night
;
and
the
Writers
of
those
times
affirm
it
to
equal
the
Sun
in
greatness
.
After
this
Prodigy
,
the
Romans
began
the
third
Punick
War
against
the
Carthaginians

Marriage
of
Alexander
King
of
Syria
,
and

,
and
stayed
there
all

The

went
with
the
King
of
Aegypt
to

of
Eleutherius
,
which
was
200
miles
.
From
thence
he
returned
back
again
to
Ierusalem
,
which
was
200

.
Here
he
besieged
the
Tower
of
Acropolis
,
because
there
were
many
wicked
men
got
into
it
.
In
the
sixteenth
year
of
his
Government
he
went
from
Ierusalem
to
Ptolomais
,
to
Demetrius
Nicanor
King
of
Syria
,
which
was
76
miles
.
From
Ptolomais
he
returned
back
to
Ierusalem
,
which
was
76
miles
.
From
Ierusalem
(
in
the
seventeenth
year
of
his
Government
)
he
went
beyond
the
River
Euphrates
,
which
was
accounted
four
hundred
miles
;
and
there
gathered
an
Army
,
in
Aid
of
Antiochus
the
younger
,
the
Son
of
Alexander
,
and
went

From

and
after
a

won
it
.
From
Gaza
he
went
to
Damascus
in
Syria
,
which
was
about
200
miles
.
From
thence
he
returned
to
the
Lake
of
Genesereth
,
which
was
104
miles
.
Here
he
opposed
the
Army
of
Demetrius
Nicanor
King
of
Syria
.
From
thence
(
before
day
)
he
removed
his
Camp
to
Chazor
,
which
was
thirty
two
miles
;
where
,
when
part
of
his
Army
was
put
to
flight
by
a
Stratagem
,
he
tore
his
Garments
,
put
dust
upon
his
head
,
and
prayed
earnestly
unto
the
Lord
for
aid
and
assistance
:
so
having
recovered
his
strength
and
former
courage
,
he
returned
with
those
few
that
he
had
left
him
to
the
War

where
he
put
the
Army
of
King
Demetrius
to

From

glorious
victory
,
which
was
about
some
ninety
two
miles
.
Here
he
made
a
League
with
the
Romans
and
Spartans
,
1
Mac.
11.
12.
From
Ierusalem
he
went
with
his
Army
into
the
Country
of
Hemath
,
that
is
,
Syria
,
to
the
River
Eleutherius
,
being
200
miles
;
here
he
put
his
Enemies
to
flight
,
after
they
had
burnt
and
consumed
their
Tents
.
From
thence
he
went
to
Nabathia
in
Arabia
,
being
120
miles
.
Here
he
conquered
the
Arabians
and
Zabadians
,
and
spoiled
their
Land
.
From
thence
he
went
through
all
that
Country
,
and
wasted
it
,
till
he
came
within
eight
miles
of
Damascus
From
thence
he
returned
home
to
Ierusalem
,
which
was
160
miles
.
In
the
eighteenth
and
last
year
of
his
Reign
he
caused
the
Walls
of
Ierusalem
to
be
built
,
and
began
to
fortifie
many
places
in
Iudaea
,
1
Mac.
12.
Also
the
same
year
(
which
was
the
160
year
of
the
Government
of
the
Graecians
in
Syria
)
the
second
Book
of
Macchabees
was
written
,
as
appeareth
,
cap.
1.
After
,
from
Ierusalem
he
went
to
Bethsan
to
meet
Tryphon
,
being
forty
four
miles
:
here
,
being
deceived
by
the
fair
speeches
of
Tryphon
,
he
discharged
his
Army
all
but
3000.
From
thence
he
took
these
3000
with
him
,
and
went
with
Tryphon
to
Ptolomais
,
which
was
thirty
two
miles
;
into
which
Town
he
was
no
sooner
entered
,
but
Tryphon
caused
the
Citizens
to
shut
the
Gates
,
where
all
his
men
were
slain
.
From
Ptolomais
,
Tryphon
brought
Ionathan
the
High-Priest
to
Addus
,
upon
the
Borders
of
Iudaea
,
which
was
sixty
eight
miles
;
from
whence
he
sent
to
Simon
,
the
Brother
of
Ionathan
,
whom
he
kept
Captive
in
a
Castle
near
adjoyning
;
promising
to
release
his
Brother
,
if
he
would
send
his
two
Sons
to
be
Hostages
,
and
let
him
have
a
hundred
Talents
of
Silver
,
that
is
,
60000
Crowns
.
So
Simon
sent
his
two
Sons
,
together
with
the
Money
,
to
Tryphon
;
but
Tryphon
took
them
and
the
Mony
,
and
led
them
captive
with
Ionathan
their
Father
from
Add●s
to
Addor
,
a
Town
in
Idumaea
,
which
was
forty
eight
miles
.
From
thence
he
carried
them
to
Baschaman
in
the
Country
of
the
Gileadites
,
which
was
ninety
six
miles
;
where
,
in
the
Winter
Season
,
in
the
year
before
Christ
,
141
,
this
cruel
and
perfidious
Tyrant
put
Ionathan
and
his
Sons
to
death
.
From
Baschamah
of
the
Gileadites
Simon
removed
the
Bodies
of
Ionathan
and
his
Sons
to
Modin
,
being
sixty
miles
,
where
he
buried
them
,
1
Mac.

So
all
his
Travels
were
3007
miles
.
The
Description
of
the
Places
mentioned
in
his
Travels
.
Of
Arabath
.
ARabath
,
or
Araba
,
was
a
City
near
to
the
Lake
or
River
Merom
,
not
far
from
Dothan
,
forty
four
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
North.
It
seems
to
take
the
name
from
Locusts
,
whereof
there
are
many
kinds
,
1
Mac.
5.
for
there
are
Locusts
that
live
upon
Herbs
and
Flowers
:
others
that
fly
in
great
swarms
in
the
Air
;
and
some
also
that
live
in
the
Waters
,
not
much
unlike
Crabs
,
or
Cray-fishes
,
their
Tails
only
excepted
.
Plin.

reckons
up
another
kind
of
Locusts
,
whereon
Iohn
Baptist
did
feed
,
and
it
was
lawful
for
the
Iews
to
eat
of
them
:
he
describes
them
to
have
four
Feet
,
and
Wings
,
so
that
they
can
either
fly
,
or
leap
upon
the
Earth
.
They
can
be
resembled
to
nothing
more
fitly
than
to
Grashoppers
.
These
the
Hebrews
call
Robae
,
Levit.

because
of
the
abundance
of
them
;
being
derived
of
the
Verb
Rabah
,
He
hath
multiplied
,
or
increased
;
because
these
kinds
of
Locusts
come
in
mighty
great
swarms
and
multitudes
into
the
East
part
of
the
World
.
Of
these
kinds
of
Locusts
Arabath
took
the
Name
,
but
they
are
not
known
to
us
;
nevertheless
such
there
are
;
and
,
as
it
appeareth
in
Leuit.
11.
were
permitted
to
be
eaten
among
the
Iews
.
From
whence
may
be
concluded
,
that
Iohn
Baptist
lived
upon
these
kind
of
Locusts
,
and
not
upon
Crabs
,
or
Cray-fish
,
or
any
such
kind
of
Locusts
,
Mat.

Of
Sephela
.
SEphela
is
a
Plain
compassed
about
with
Mountains
,
near
the
River
Sorek
.
It
lieth
fourteen
miles
from
Ierusalem
Westward
.
Here
Simon
built
the
Castle
Adida
,
and
fortified
it
very
strongly
.
Afterward
there
was
a
City
built
near
to
this
Tower
,
called
Eleutheropolis
.
It
was
a
free
City
in
the
Tribe
of
Iudah

half
way
between
Ierusalem
and
Ascalon
;
of
which
St.
Ierom

THIS
was
a
strong
Tower
,
the
Ruines
whereof
may
be
seen
to
this
day
.
It
was
scituated
near
Iericho
,
in
the
Field
of
Hiericuntis
,
ten
miles
from
Ierusalem
North-eastward
;
where
Ptolomeus
the
Son
of
Abodus
persidiously
put
to
death
his
Son-in-law
Simon
,
High
Priest
of
the
Jews
.
From
this
Tower
you
might
have
seen
all
the
Countrey
of
the
Gileadites
,
the
two
Tribes
of

The
Travels
of
John
Hyrcanus
.
JOHN
Hyrcanus
was
made
Captain
over
all
the
Men
of
War
,
by
his
Father
Simon
,
and
went
from
Ierusalem
to
Gaza
,
forty
four
miles
,
where
he
dwelt
,
1
Mac.
13.
From
thence
he
returned
to
Ierusalem
,
forty
four
miles
,
in
the
fifth
year
of
his
Father's
Government
,
to
let
him
understand
how
Cendebius
had
invaded
the
holy
Land
,
1
Mac.
16.
From
Ierusalem
,
he
and
his
Brother
Iudas
went
with
their
Army
to
Modin
,
fourteen
miles
,
where
they
stayed
all
night
.
The
next
morning
,
before
day
,
they
gave
Battel
to
Cendebius
,
not
far
from
Modin
,
overcame
him
,
and
put
him
to
flight
.
So
he
pursued
the
chase
till
he
came
to
the
Fortress
of
Cedron
,
which
stood
in
the
Field
of
Azotus
,
even
eight
miles
.
From
the
Field
of
Azotus
,
he
and
his
Brother
Iudas
returned
to
Ierusalem
,
being
twenty
two
miles
,
1
Mac.
16.
From
Ierusalem
he
returned
to
Gaza
,
44
miles
.
Now
when
Sorius
Ptolomeus
,
the
Son
of
Abodus
,
(
who
a
little
before
had
treacherously
slain
his
Son-in-law
Simon
at
a
Banquet
)
heard
of
Iohn's
coming
into
the
Town
,
he
sent
forth
certain
Traitors
and
Homicides
to
put
him
to
death
also
:
but
Hyrcanus
having
certain
intelligence
of
the
matter
,
prevented
the
mischief
,
and
put
these
Traitors
to
the
Sword
,
1
Mac.

So
all
his
Travels
were
176
miles
.

Antiochus
Epiphanes
,
in
the
149
year
of
the
Grecians
Government

,
which
was
the
161
Year
before
Christ
,
and
he
continued
King
of
Asia

Syria
three
Years
.
Lysias
the
King's
Substitute
for
Syria
,
called
this
man
by
the
name
of
Eupator
,
that
is
,
a
good
Father
;
because
Kings
ought
to
be
Fathers
of
their
Countries
.
This
Antiochus
Eupator
in
the
second
year
of
his
Reign
,
came
with
a
great
Army
from
Antiochia
to
the
Town
of
Modin
,
which
was
380
miles
.
From
Modin
he
went
to
the
Hold
at
Bethsura
:
this
he
sharply
besieged
;
being
12
miles
.
From
Bethsura
he
went
to
Bethsachara
(
almost
a
mile
)
to
meet
with
Iudas
Macchabeus
,
who
put
him
to
flight
,
and
kill'd
600
of
his
Men
,
1
Mac.

From
Bethsachara
he
returned
to
the
Hold
of
Bethsura
,
and
won
it
,
being
almost
a
mile
.
From
Bethsura
he
came
to
Ierusalem
,
which
was
half
a
mile
.
From
Ierusalem
he
went
with
his
Army
to
Ptolomais
,
being
seventy
six
miles
.
From
Ptolomais
he
returned
to
Antiochia
,
two
hundred
and
four
miles
and
a
half

the
Brother
of

IN
An.

3809.
before

159.
Demetrius
Soter
the
Son
of
Seleucus
Philopater
,
who
was
sent
to
Rome
,
brought
a
Navy
from
thence
through
the
Mediterranean
Sea
,
and
came
to
Tripolis
in
Syria
,
which
Journey
was
two
thousand
,
six
hundred
,
and
eighty
miles
,
and
usurped
upon
the
Government
of
Syria
against
young
Antiochus
,
the
Son
of
Epiphanes
,
1
Mac.

From
Tripolis
he
went
to
Antiochia
,
where
the
King
kept
his
Court
,
eighty
eight
miles
.
Here
he
caused
young
Antiochus
and
Lysias
to
be
slain
,
and
after
,
reigned
in
Syria
ten
years
.
At
length
he
was
slain
in
a
great
Battel
,
by
Alexander
the
Son
of
Epiphanes
,
1
Mac.

So
all
his
Travels
were
1760
miles
.
Of
Tripolis
.
THIS
was
scituated
in
Phoenicia
,
a
Province
of
Syria
,
on
the
Shore
of
the
Mediterranean
Sea
,
170
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
North
;
and
was
so
called
because
there
dwelt
in
it
three
sorts
of
People
,
viz.
Tyrians
,
Sydonians
,
and
Arabians
.
It
is
a
very
famous
City
even
to
this
day
;
the
Ocean
Sea
coming
into
every
street
,
and
principal
place
of
it
,
and
full
as
Populous
as
Tyrus
.
For
there
inhabit
Grecians
,
Latines
,
Armeni●ns
,
Maronites
,
Nestorians
,
and
People
of
many
other
Nations
of
divers
Conditions
and
Customs
in
manner
of
living
.
It
aboundeth
also
with
great
abundance
of
costly
Tapestry
,
which
is
made
so
curiously
,
and
with
such
cost
,
that
it
is
very
delightful
to
such
as
look
upon
it
.
It
is
credibly
reported
,
That
there
are
found
within
the
City
of
Tripolis
4000
men
that
do
little
else
but
Weave
and
make
Tapestry
,
and
such
like
costly
hangings
.
The
Country
round
about
where
it
standeth
is
very
pleasant
,
and
because
of
the
great
abundance
of
Vines
,
Olives
,
Figs
,
and
other
Fruits
and
Flowers
(
which
yieldeth
a
comfortable
smell
,
and
is
profitable
for
the
maintenance
of
life
)
it
is
called
Paradice
.
There
is
a
Field
before
the
City
,
some
two
miles
in
length
,
and
one
in
breadth
,
in
which
there
are
to
be
seen
very
curious
Gardens
,
and
artificially
contrived
.
About
six
miles
from
the
City
standeth
Mount
Libanus
,
at
the
foot
whereof
riseth
a
goodly
Fountain
,
which
with
great
violence
runneth
thence
,
but
suddenly
falleth
into
the
Vallies
,
it
joyns
with
other
Waters
,
and
becomes
a
fair
and
pleasant
River
,
watering
all
the
Gardens
of
the
Plain
betwen
Tripolis
and
Libanus
,
but
especially
the
Mountains
of
the
Leopards
,
which
is
not
far
off
.
In
the
Canticles
,
cap.

there
is
mention
of
this
Hill
;
Come
with
me
my
Spouse
,
from
the
Denns
of
the
Lions
,
and
the
Mountains
of
the
Leopards
.
The
Water
of
this
Spring
is
very
clear
,
pleasant
,
cold
and
healthful
;
upon
the
Banks
of
it
there
standeth
many
Churches
and
Religious
Houses
;
it
is
called
the
Fountain
of
the
Gardens
,
and
is
divided
into
three
Rivers
or
principal
,
Streams
,
besides
many
other
small
Brooks
,
which
run
thence
and
fall
into
the
Sea
;
so
that
the
Sentence
,
Est.

is
verified
of
this
,
A
small
Fountain
shall
increase
to
a
great
River
,
and
shall
be
poured
out
against
many
Waters

The
Travels
of
King
Alexander
,
Son
of
Epiphanes
,
and
Brother
to
Antiochus
Eupater
OF
this
Alexander
,
Iustin
writes
,
lib.
35.
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
,
gave
unto
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
believed
.
And
at
this
time
,
Demetrius
,
because
of
his
cruelty
,
being
much
hated
of
all
sorts
of
People
;
it
came
to
pass
that
most
,
and
those
of
the
greatest
also
,
combined
with
this
young
man
,
supposing
him
indeed
to
be
of
noble
Descent
,
and
the
Son
of
a
King
,
Wherefore
Alexander
,
or
Prompatus
,
being
thus
encouraged
,
took
upon
him
to
be
the
Brother
of
Antiochus
Eupator
,
and
called
himself
the
Lawful
Heir
and
Successor
to
the
Crown
of
Syria
,
going
from
thence
to
Ptolomais
,
where
he
kept
a
Royal
Court
;
and
in
the
year
of
the
World
3818
,
before
Christ
150
,
by
the
help
of
the
Antiochians
,
and
others
the
Inhabitants
of
Syria
,
he
took
upon
him
the
Government
of
that
Country
,
and
reigned
five
years
.
This
man
suffered
many
varieties
and
changes
of
Fortune
:
at
first
was
put
to
flight
by
Demetrius
;
after
he
put
Demetrius
to
flight
,
and
at
length
put
him
to
death
and
usurp'd
upon
his
Government
.
In
the
third
year
of
his
Reign
he
married
Cleapatra
the
Daughter
of
Ptolomeus
Philometor
King
of
Aegypt
,
by
whom
he
had
his
Son
Antiochus
.
To
this
Marriage
Ionathan
was
invited
.
In
the
last
year
of
his
Government
,
he
went
from
Ptolomais
to
Antiochia
,
which
was
200

,
where
he
opposed
himself
against
Demetrius

From
Antiochia
he
went
to

to
suppress

his
Subjects

but
when
he

where
Zabdiel

fearing

he
should
fall
into
the
displeasure
of
Ptolomeus
,
caused
his
Servants
to
cut
off

and
sent
it

Within

Grecians
in

,
which
was

Out
of

he
came
into
Syria

,
160
miles
,
where
,
joyning
with
Apolonius
,
he
took
upon
him
the
Crown
and
Kingdom
of
Syria
.
Afterward
Apolonius
went
into
Iudaea
with
a
great
Army
,
and
besieged
Iamniah
.
Ptolomeus
Philometor
also
assisted
the
proceeding
of
Demetrius
,
seeing
Alexander
his
Son-in-law
beginning
to
decline
;
and
the
better
to
strengthen
their
Alliance
,
matched
him
to
Cleopatra
his
Daughter
,
which
before
had
been
Wife
to
Alexander
;
by
which
policy
,
he
added
to
the
Kingdom
of
Egypt
all
Asia

over
which
he
ruled
two
years
,

After
,
Demetrius
Nicanor
came
out

lower
,
with
Ptolomeus
Philometor
,
to
Antiochia
,
which
was
eighty

From
Antiochia
they
went
with

Army
to

Plain
near

where
in

sharp
War
they
overcame

Now
after
the
death
of
Ptolomeus

,
Demetrius
Nicanor
returned
to
Antiochia
,
120
miles
,
where
he
governed
the
Kingdom
of
Syria
two
years
.
From
Antiochia
he
went
to
Ptolomais
,
which
was
200
miles
;
to
which
place
Ionathan
the
High-Priest
came
to
meet
him
,
where
he
gave
to
him
many
Presents
and
great
Gifts
to
win
his
Favour

From
Ptolomais
he
returned
to
Antiochia
,
200
miles
.
There
his
Souldiers
and
the
City
of
Antiochia
rebelled
against
him
.
For
which
cause
,
Ionathan
the
High-Priest
sent
him
3000
men
,
which
delivered
the
King
out
of
danger
,
put
to
the
Sword
100000
of
the
Seditious
,
and
burnt
the
City
of
Antiochia
1
Mac.

But
after
,
Demetrius
shewed
himself
unthankful
,
he
was
driven
out
of
his
Kingdom
by
Tryphon
and
young
Antiochus
the
Son
of
King
Alexander
,
who
was
also
called
Theos
,
which
signifies
God
.
In
the
172
year
of
the
Reign
of
the
Grecians
in
Syria
,
which
was
138
years
before
Christ
,
Nicanor
having
slain
Antiochus
the
Son
of
Alexander
,
he
would
have
reigned
alone
in
Syria
,
wherefore
Demetrius
who
was
the
lawful
King
of
Syria
,
being
three
years
before
driven
thence
,
went
1200
miles
,
into
Media
to
crave
aid
against
Tryphon
;
but
Arsaces
King
of
the
Medes
,
Parthians
and
Persians
,
sent
the
chief
Captain
of
his
Host
against
Demetrius
,
who
burned
his
Tents
,
took
him
Prisoner
,
and
carried
him
back
to
his
Master
,
to
Hecatompilon

chief
City
of
his
Kingdom
,
distant
from
Syria
1220

From

,
Arsaces
sent
him
to
Hyrcania
,
the
metropolitan
City
of
that
Country
,
which
was
176
miles
;
where
,
although
Arsaces
kept
him
as
a
Prisoner
,
yet
he
allowed
him
royal
Attendance
,
and
after
marryed
him
to
his
Daughter
,
Iust.

After
the
Death
of
Arsaces
,
with
singular
Industry
and
Policy
,
he
got
out
of
Captivity
,
after
he
had
been
twelve
years
Prisoner
in
Hyrcania
,
and
came
into
Syria
,
which
was
fourteen
miles

where
he
recovered

Concerning
the
Travels
of
Apolonius
,
Nicanor
,
Bacchides
,
and
Cendebius
;
because
they
are
sufficiently
described
in
the
Travels
of
the
Macchabees
,
I
thought
it
unfit
to
speak
further
of
them
.
The
Travels
of
Heliodorus
.
HEliodorus
signifies
the
House
of
the
Sun
.
He
was
Secretary
and
chief
Governour
of
Antiochi●
in
Syria
,
for
that
mighty
King
Saleuchus
Philopator
,
who
was
Brother
to
that
cruel
Tyrant
Antiochus
Epiphanes
,
and
was
sent
by
his
Lord
and
Master
Seleuchus
from
Antiochia
to
Ierusalem
,
which
was
eighty
miles
,
to
spoil
the
Temple
of
the
Lord
:
but
the
Lord
sent
an
Angel
richly
beautified
with
Armour
of
Gold
,
fitting
upon
a
Horse
;
who
went
to
Heliodorus
,
and
with
his
Horse
trod
him
under
his
feet
;
and
there
appeared
two
other
Angels
full
of
Majesty
and
Power
,
that
strook
Heliodorus
and
beat
him
with
Whips
,
so
that
he
lay
upon
the
Floor
of
the
Temple
as
a
Man
half
Dead
,
and
could
not
go
forth
until
he
was
carried
out
,
2
Mac.

From
Ierusalem
he
went
with
that
good
man
Onias
chief
Priest
of
the
Iews
(
at
whose
earnest
Prayers
and
Supplications
he
was
made
whole
)
to
Antiochia
,
280
miles
;
where
he
told
Seleuchus
Philopator
of
the
wonderful
Works
of
the
Lord
.
So
all
his
Travels
were
580
miles
.
The
Travels
of
the
High-Priest
of
the
Jews
,
that
ruled
before
the
Macchabees
,
as
they
are
severally
mentioned
in
the
Books
of
Maccabees
.
and
first
,
of
the
Travels
of
Onias
the
High-Priest
.
ONIAS
signifies
the
Riches
of
God
;
from
On
,
Opulency
,
and
Iah
,
God
:
for
although
he
was
afflicted
with
Poverty
in
this
World
,
yet
he
was
rich
in
God
.
He
succeeded
his
Father
Simon
the
Just
,
An.
Mun.
3757.
before
Christ
211.
Antiochus
the
Great
being
King
of
Syria
.
He
was
High-Priest
thirty
nine
years
until
the
death
Seleuchus
Philopater
;
at
the
end
of
which
time
,
one
Simon
the
chief
of
those
that
kept
the
Temple
,
being
ambitious
of
Rule
,
fell
to
words
with
Onias
,
and
from
words
to
blows
;
so
that
there
were
many
outrages
committed
by
the
Friends
of
Simon
.
Wherefore
Onias
,
to
give
place
to
the
Fury
of
his
Adversaries
,
went
from
Ierusalem
to
Antiochia
,
which
was
to
hundred
and
eighty
miles
.
But
Seleucus
Philopator
being
dead
,
and
Antiochus
Epiphanes
in
the
Government
,
who
was
a
covetous
and
cruel
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
three
hundred
and
sixty
Talents
of
Silver
,
and
promised
to
pay
a
yearly
Tribute
of
eighty
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
,
chief
Captain
to
Antiochus
,
came
to
him
,
and
with
fair
Speeches
and
flattering
Words
,
allured
him
out
of
the
Sanctuary
,
and
traiterously
put
him
to
death
.
So
all
his
Travels
were
two
hundred
eighty
one
miles
.
The
Travels
of
the
High-Priest
Jason
.
JAson
and
Iesus
have
both
one
signification
:
he
entred
upon
the
Office
of
High-Priest
in
the
first
year
of
Antiochus
Epiphanes
,
which
was
one
hundred
seventy
three
years
before
Christ
.
He
went
from
Ierusalem
to
Antiochia
,
which
was
two
hundred
eighty
miles
,
where
,
after
the
death
of
Onias
,
he
paid
to
Antiochus
for
the
Office
of
High-Priest
,
almost
three
Tuns
of
Gold
,
with
promise
to
pay
a
yearly
Tribute
of
48000
Crowns
.
From
Antiochia
he
returned
to
Ierusalem
,
two
hundred
eighty
miles
;
where
he
began
to
build
the
Tower
of
Acropolis
in
Mount
Acra
:
and
that
he
might
please
that
wicked
King
,
and
keep
his
favour
,
he
built
certain
Theatres
in
Ierusalem
,
and
caused
Interludes
and
Plays
to
be
acted
in
them
,
at
such
times
and
upon
such
days
as
the
Poeple
were
wont
to
meet
in
the
Temple
to
serve
God
.
Also
King
Antiochus
Epiphanes
in
the
fourth
year
of
his
Priesthood
coming
to
Ierusalem
,
he
gave
him
royal
entertainment
.
The
same
year
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
forty
miles
.
Two
years
after
,
when
Antiochus
Epiphanes
invaded
Aegypt
,
there
was
a
vain
rumour
that
he
was
slain
;
wherefore
Iason
,
with
a
thousand
Souldiers
,
returned
to
Ierusalem
,
being
forty
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
happened
,
came
out
of
Aegypt
with
●
great
Army
of
Ierusalem
,
wherefore
he
fled
thence
back
again
to
the
Ammonites
,
forty
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
perceived
that
he
could
not
live
there
secure
,
he
went
thence
into
Aegypt
,
280
miles
.
From
thence
he
went
to
the
Lacedemonians
,
six
hundred
miles
,
where
he
died
in
Exile
,
being
cast
out
unlamented
or
buried
.
So
all
his
Travels
were
1560
miles
.
Of
Lacedemonia
,
the
Metropolitan
City
of
Peloponnesus
.
LAcedemonia
,
or
Sparta
,
was
famous
City
of
Peloponnesus
,
distant
from
Ierusalem
six
hundred
miles
toward
the
West
;
which
although
it
had
no
Walls
,
yet
was
it
one
of
the
most
fair
and
most
populous
Cities
in
all
Grecia
;
and
was
called
Sparta
of
Spartus
,
who
was
King
thereof
,
and
re-built
it
,
adorning
it
with
fair
and
goodly
Buildings
.
At
first
it
was
built
by
one
Lacedemon
,
who
was
somtime
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
Citizens
and
Inhabitants
excellent
Laws
,
by
the
observance
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
Travels
of
the
High-Priest
Menelaus
.
THIS
Menelaus
,
called
alos
Onias
,
was
(
as
Iosephus
saith
)
the
third
Son
of
Simon
the
Just
,
and
Brother
of
Iason
,
although
,
2
Mac.

,

,
he
is
said
to
be
the
Brother
of
one
Simon
of
the
Tribe
of
Benjamin
,
who
was
chief
of
those
that
kept
the
Temple
,
of
whom
you
may
read
before
.
This
man
,
in
the
fourth
year
of
Antiochus
Epiphanes
,
was
sent
by
Iason
his
Brother
to
Antiochia
,
being
two
hundred
and
eighty
miles
,
●pon
certain
business
,
but
principally
,
to
carry
the
King
Money
.
Where
he
made
a
secret
Contract
with
hm
,
to
pay
him
thirty
Talents
[
*
](A30018-e152470-b)
*
That
is
,
180000
Crowns
.
beside
all
that
his
Brother
Iason
had
pay'd
him
,
if
he
would
insti●ute
him
to
be
High-Priest
.
The
King
in
hope
of
profit
,
gave
〈◊〉
to
his
motion
,
and
under
pretence
of
Injury
and
Wrong
offered
by
Iason
,
constrained
him
to
leave
his
Office
,
and
fly
from
Ierusalem
into
the
Land
of
the
Ammonites
for
his
Safety
,
and
so
instituted
Menelaus
to
be
chief
Priest
of
the
Iews
;
who
entred
upon
his
Government
in
the
year
before
Christ
one
hundred
sixty
nine
.
Wherefore
Menelaus
returned
from
Antiochia
to
Ierusalem
,
two
hundred
and
eighty
miles
;
where
he
began
to
govern
,
not
as
chief
Priest
,
but
as
a
cruel
and
wicked
Tyrant
,
2
Mac.

But
,
when
in
the
beginning
of
his
Government
he
could
not
pay
that
great
sum
of
mony
which
he
had
promised
,
the
King
sent
for
him
to
Antiochia
,
being
two
hundred
and
eighty
miles
,
where
for
that
time
he
was
removed
from
his
Office
,
and
his
Brother
Lysimacus
ordained
chief
Priest
in
his
room
.
Wherefore
Menelaus
being
sore
troubled
,
vexed
,
and
grieved
in
mind
,
for
that
which
had
hapned
in
the
first
year
of
his
Priest-hood
,
returned
back
from
Antiochia
to
Ierusalem
,
being
two
hundred
and
eighty
miles
.
But
a
little
after
,
when
Antiochus
Epiphanes
brought
an
Army
into
Cilicia
,
to
suppress
the
Rebellion
of
the
Tha●sians
and
Mallotans
,
Menelaus
taking
advantage
of
the
Kings
absence
,
went
to
Andronichus
(
who
was
chief
Agent
for
the
King
in
Syria
)
to
Antiochia
,
two
hundred
and
eighty
miles
,
and
there
gave
him
certain
golden
Vessels
and
Jewels
that
he
had
stollen
out
of
the
Temple
,
ot
hire
him
to
be
his
friend
,
and
help
him
to
his
Office
of
High-priesthood
again
.
But
Onias
the
elder
hearing
of
this
Sacriledge
,
greatly
reprehended
Menelaus
for
shameful
Fact
;
but
he
taking
it
in
ill
part
,
combined
with
Andronichus
,
who
by
fair
speeches
alluring
him
out
of
the
Sanctuary
in
the
wood
Daphne
,
put
him
to
death
,
after
he
had
been
five
years
in
exile
.
But
King
Antiochus
returning
from
Antiochia
,
accused
Andronichus
of
Treason
,
and
by
the
means
of
a
certain
Courtier
,
received
Menelaus
into
favour
.
From
Antiochia
,
Menelaus
returned
to
Ierusalem
,
two
hundred
and
eighty
miles
;
where
,
by
the
help
of
his
brother
Lysimachus
,
he
stole
a
great
mass
of
mony
out
of
the
Temple
.
Which
Sacriledge
being
known
to
the
People
,
they
fell
to
uproar
,
and
killed
Lysimachus
close
by
the
Treasury
,
They
accused
Menelaus
also
before
Antiochus
;

Antiochus
,
in
the
second
year
of
his
Priest-hood
,
went
to
Tyrus
,
which
is
one
hundred
miles
,
where
he
so
corrupted
certain
Courtiers
with
mony
,
that
he
procured
the
favour
of
Antiochus
,
and
caused
his
Accusers
(
good
and
just
men
)
to
be
banished
thence
,
as
slanderers
,
and
such
as
went
about
to
defame
Menelaus
.
From
Tyrus
be
returned
back
again
to
Ierusalem
,
one
hundred
miles
,
where
he
fell
into
his
old
cruelty
,
and
in
the
third
year
of
his
Government
,
received
Antiochus
Epiphanes
with
his
Army
into
the
City
of
Ierusalem
,
who
cruelly
murthered
the
Citizens
,
and
spoiled
the
Temple
,

After
the
death
of
Antiochus
,
who
as
it
is
said
perished
of
a
grievous
disease
,
and
was
buried
at
Babylon
;
his
Son
Antiochus
Eupator
came
with
a
great
Army
into
Iudaea
in
hostile
manner
.
Wherefore
Menelaus
,
in
the
last
year
of
his
Priesthood
,
went
out
to
meet
him
.
But
Lysi●s
accused
him
unto
the
king
,
as
one
that
was
the
only
Author
of
all
the
Evils
that
had
hapned
to
the
Iews
.
Wherefore
Antiochus
willed
Lysias
to
take
him
Prisoner
;
who
brought
him
to
Berea
a
Town
in
Syria
,
distant
from
Ierusalem
360
miles
Northward
;
where
,
upon
the
top
of
a
Tower
,
fifty
Cubits
high
,
he
was
tyed
to
a
Wheel
,
and
had
all
his
Joynts
broken
,
and
through
the
extremity
of
the
pain
,
died
,

So
all
his
Travels
were
two
thousand
two
hundred
forty
miles
.
The
Travels
of
Alcimus
,
High-Priest
of
the
Posterity
of
Aaron
.
THIS
Alcimus
,
after
the
death
of
Menelaus
,
which
was
the
year
before
Christ
one
hundred
fifty
,
went
with
certain
impious
and
wicked
men
to
Demetrius
Soter
,
who
lived
in
Antiochia
in
Syria
,
being
two
hundred
eighty
miles
,
and
there
accused
Iudas
Macchabeus
and
all
the
Godly
Iews
;
using
such
flattery
toward
the
King
,
that
he
obtained
the
Principality
and
Office
of
High-Priest
,
which
he
held
three
years
,
1
Mac.
7.
From
Antiochia
,
he
and
Bacchides
returned
back
again
of
Ierusalem
,
where
he
was
instituted
in
the
Office
of
High-Priesthood
,
which
is
two
hundred
eighty
miles
.
But
when
he
saw
that
he
was
not
able
to
withstand
the
power
and
singular
vertue
of
Iudas
Macchabeus
,
he
returued
back
to
Antiochia
,
two
hundred
eighty
miles
;
where
after
he
had
accused
the
good
men
among
the
Iews
,
he
obtained
the
Aid
of
Demetrius
,
who
sent
Nicanor
with
a
great
Army
into
Iudaea
against
Iudas
,
to
establish
Aleimus
in
the
Priesthood
.
So
Alcimus
and
Nicanor
returned
into
Iudaea
,
two
hundred
eighty
miles
.
But
Alcimus
seeing
familiar
Conference
to
pass
between
Nicanor
and
Iudas
Mac●habeus
,
he
went
back
again
to
Antiochia
,
two
hundred
eighty
miles
,
where
he
told
Demetrius
of
the
perfidious
dealing
of
Nicanor
,
Wherefore
Demetrius
,
being
very
angry
at
what
had
happened
,
wrote
a
sharp
Letter
to
Nicanor
,
giving
him
to
understand
,
That
it
was
much
against
his
mind
that
he
should
make
a
League
with
Iudas
:
and
further
willed
him
(
the
said
League
notwithstanding
)
to
bring
him
bound
to
Antiochia
,
Upon
the
receipt
of
which
Letter
,
he
made
War
upon
Iudas
;
in
which
expedition
Nicanor
was
taken
,
and
had
his
head
cut
off
.
All
this
happened
the
first
year
of
the
Priesthood
of
Alcimus
.
But
when
Demetrius
heard
of
this
overthrow
,
he
sent
Bacchides
and
Alcimus
with
a
great
Army
,
who
went
to
Antiochia
,
and
came
to
Mastoth
in
the
Country
of
Arbela
,
one
hundred
ninty
two
miles
,
where
they
made
Incursions
upon
the
Tribe
of
Naphtaly
,
and
slew
a
great
multitude
of
the
Israelites
,
1
Mac.

From
Masloth
they
went
with
their
Army
to
Gilgal
,
seventy
six
miles
,
This
happened
in
the
second
year
of
the
Priesthood
of
Alcimus
.
From
Gilgal
they
came
to
Ierusalem
,
which
was
about
twelve
miles
,

From
thence
they
brought
their
Army
to
Berea
,
being
twelve
miles
:
here
they
were
overcome
,
and
put
to
flight
by
Iudas
Macchabeus
,

From
Berea
tho
fled
amongst
the
Mountains
which
are
between
Azotus
and
Gazeron
,
six
miles
.
Here
Iudas
Macchabeus
was
slain
.
Wherefore
Alcimus
returned
thence
back
again
to
Ierusalem
twenty
miles
,
and
caused
the
Walls
of
the
inner
house
of
the
Temple
,
and
the
Monuments
of
the
Priests
,
to
be
taken
down
and
destroyed
:
but
before
his
command
was
fully
executed
,
the
Lord
struck
him
with
a
dead
Palsie
,
of
which
he
lay
a
time
dumb
,
but
within
a
while
after
he
died
of
that
disease
,
in
the
second
year
of
his
Priesthood
,
An.
Mundi
,
three
thousand
eight
hundred
and

,
and
before
Christ
,
one
hundred
and
fifty
seven
.
Alcimus
being
dead
,
Bacchides
returned
back
to
Demetrius
in
Syria
,
1
Mac.
9.
For
seven
years
after
there
was
no
High-priest
in
Ierusalem
,
till
Ionathan
the
Brother
of
Iudas
Macchabeus
took
upon
him
that
Office
,
1
Mac.
10.
So
all
his
Travels
were
1717
miles
.
The
Quantities
of
the
Monies
both
Silver
and
Gold
,
as
they
are
severally
mentioned
in
the
Scriptures
,
reduced
to
our
Weights
and
English
Valuations
.
EVER
since
the
time
that
Monies
have
been
allowed
as
current
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
certain
Weight
,
which
for
the
most
part
is
Universal
,
according
to
the
worth
and
estimation
thereof
in
the
several
Countries
where
it
is
to
be
sold
and
exchanged
;
or
else
by
Coin
,
which
is
current
according
to
the
valuation
that
is
imposed
upon
it
by
the
consent
of
a
State
,
or
command
of
a
Prince
.
In
both
which
,
there
have
been
used
sundry
distinctions
of
greater
and
less
valuations
of
Weights
and
Coin
,
according
to
the
necessity
and
estimation
thereof
in
several
Kingdoms
and
Governments
.
As
amongst
the
Iews
they
used
Weights
and
no
Coin
,
and
these
distinguished
in
several
sorts
,
and
,
as
is
thought
,
separated
with
sundry
Marks
,
that
they
might
be
known
each
from
other
.
The
Weights
that
they
used
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
a
Sicle
.
A
Sicle
was
a
kind
of
Weight
,
current
among
the
Iews
,
containing
precisely
half
an
ounce
of
silver
or
Gold
;
which
,
that
it
might
be
distinguished
,
had
a
particular
Effigies
or
Superscription
;
viz.
upon
one
side
was
to
be
seen
the
measure
wherein
they
kept
Manna
in
the
Sanctuary
,
with
this
Superscription
,
The
Sicle
of
Israel
;
and
on
the
other
the
Rod
of
Aaron
flourishing
,
with
this
Inscription
,
Holy
Ierusalem
,
which
is
ordinarily
worth
in
English
money
2
s.
6
d.
and
Gold
15s
.
and
more
or
less
according
to
the
pureness
or
baseness
of
either
.
A
Sicle
was
divided
into
these
parts
.
1.
Into
a

a
Sicle

which
was
also
in
use
among
the
Iewes

which
amounts
to
a
Roman
penny

and
in

to

and
by
the
Grecians
were
called
Drachma
.

Gheras
,
Exod.
30.
13.
which
was
the
twentieth
part
of
a
Sicle
,
and
was
worth
1
d.
ob
.
Of
Sicles
there
were
three
sorts
.
1.
A
common
Sicle
,
which
weighed
a
quarter
of
an
ounce
,
and
was
worth
15
d.
2.
The
Kings
Sicle
,
which
weighed
three
Drachma's
,
that
is
in
our
money
22
d.
ob
.
3.
The
Sicle
of
the
Temple
,
which
weighed
directly
half
an
ounce
,
and
was
worth
2
s.
6d
.
Of
a
Mina
.
A
Mina
was
a
pound
weight
among
the
Iews
,
and
were
of
two
sorts
,
one
of
Gold
,
which
weighed
100
Drachma's
,
another
of
Silver
,
weighing
240
Drachma's
.
These
were
called
the
antient
Weights
;
but
there
was
later
,
which
is
said
to
contain
100
Denaria's
or
Attick
Drachma's
,
which
seem
to
be
so
called
because
of
the
Traffick
the
Iews
had
with
the
Grecians
,
among
whom
it
was
worth
100
Attick
Drachma's
,
i.

d.
English
.
Of
Mina's
there
were
three
sorts
,
as
appeareth
in
Ezech.
45.
1.
The
common
Mina
or
Pound
(
weighing
twenty
five
half
Ounces
or
Sicles
of
the
Temple
)
amounted
to
sixty
Drachma's
,
i.
37
s.
6
d.
2.
The
King
's
Mina
or
Pound
(
weighing
twenty
half
Ounces
or
Sicles
of
the
Temple
(
amounted
to
eighty
Drachma's
,
i.
50
s.
3.
The
Mina
,
or
Pound
of
the
Temple
or
Sanctuary
,
(
which
weighed
25
half
Ounces
or
Sicles
)
maketh
100
Drachma's
,
i.
3
l.
2
s.
5
d.
Of
a
Talent
.
THE
He●rew
Talent
ordinarily
weigheth
125
Pounds
,
which
being
divided
,
amounteth
to
3000
Sicles
or
half
Ounces
,
as
it
plainly
appeareth
,
Exod.
38.
25
,
26.
where
it
is
said
that
600000
men
offered
so
many
half
Sicles
,
which
make
300000
Sicles
,
the
100th
part
of
which
make
a
Talent
,
from
whence
it
appeareth
,
that
3000
Sicles
make
a
Talent
.
Also
Epi●hanes
observeth
,
lib.
1.
de
Pon.
That
the
Attick
Talent
is
equal
in
weight
with
the
Hebrew
;
for
,
as
the
Hebrew
contains
3000
Sickles
,
which
make
125
l.
so
the
Attick
contains
1200
Drachma's
,
which
make
the
same
weight
,
and
is
worth
375.
l.
of
English
Money
.
But
the
Hebrew
Talent
of
Gold
,
which
for
the
most
part
is
used
in
every
place
,
is
worth
4500
l.
in
our
Money
.
The
Jews
had
three
sorts
of
Talents
.
1.
The
common
Talent
(
weighing
3000
quarters
of
an
Ounce
,
or
common
Sicles
)
amounts
to
6000
Drachma's
,
which
is
187
l.
10
s.
2.
The
Kings
Talent
weighed
3000
of
the
Kings
Sicles
,
which
amounted
to
9000
Drachma's
,
which
281
is
l.
5
s.
3.
The
Talent
of
the
Temple
or
Sanctuary
,
weighed
3000
Sicles
of
the
Temple
,
which
are
precisely
so
many
half
Ounces
,
which
amount
to
375
Pounds
.
From
hence
then
may
easily
be
gathered
,
that
although
the
Iews
had
several
Weights
and
denominations
of
Silver
and
Gold
,
yet
only
one
kind
was
usually
observed
in
traffique
with
other
Nations
,
and
that
had
correspondency
with
their
Weights
,
the
rest
being
only
for
the
common
sort
,
or
particular
uses
;
for
although
there
were
divers
Sicles
,
Mina's
and
Talents
among
themselves
,
yet
the
common
weight
(
whether
it
was
of
Sicle
,
Mina
or
Talent
)
was
usually
that
which
they
termed
the
Talent
of
the
Temple
,
and
that
had
a
just
correspondency
with
the
Grecian
Talent
both
in
weight
and
in
worth
;
and
this
not
only
among
them
,
but
also
by
relation
from
them
to
the
Italians
;
and
that
Nation
obtaining
an
universal
Monarchy
,
made
it
common
with
us
also
.
Of
other
Weights
used
among
the
Jews
.
THEY
had
also
other
Weights
which
they
used
,
passing
under
several
denominations
and
differing
value
;
as
Keseph
,
a
Silverling
or
Nummus
;
which
name
is
very
often
used
for
a
Sicle
,
as
appeareth
,
Gen.
20.
16.
and
23
,
16.
43
,

2
Sam.
18.

,
12.
The
Chaldaeans
called
this
Silga
,
and
the
Hebrews
,
Shekel
,
being
precisely
half
an
Ounce
,
and
worth
2.
s.
6
d.
For
thirty
of
these
Silverlings
of
the
Sanctuary
our
Saviour
Christ
was
sold
,
Matth.

which
amounteth
to
3
l.
15
s.
English
.
There
was
also
another
kind
of
Silverling
or
Nummus
used
,
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
d.
There
was
another
kind
of
Silverling
or
Nummus
used
,
which
was
called
Keshitah
;
of
which
you
may
read
in
three
several
places
of
Scripture
,
Gen.
33.
19.
Ios.
24.

11.
and
was
signed
with
the
Image
of
a
Lamb
upon
it
,
from
whence
it
is
so
called
.
The
antient
Nummus
of
the
Arabians
and
Chaldeans
was
like
unto
this
,
as
may
be
gathered
by
many
circumstances
out
of
the
places
where
it
is
mentioned
,
and
was
of
the
same
valuation
as
the
Grecians
was
amongst
the
Iews
,
which
was

Of
Gold
Weights
which
were
not
originally
the
Jews
,
but
borrowed
of
other
Nations
,
and
used
amongst
them
.
THere
are
four
kinds
of
Weights
that
are
mentioned
in
the
Scriptures
,
which
were
common
amongst
the
Iews
,
besides
the
former
,
viz.
Zahab
,
of
which
you
may
read

is
called

name

Nummus
.
The
Sicle
of
Gold
,
1
Chron.
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
Iews
.
The
other
that
follow
belonged
not
to
them
,
but
they
received
them
from
other
Nations
;
as
the
Stater
,
Drachmon
,
and
Adarchon
.
The
Stater
was
an
ancient
piece
of
Gold
,
common
amongst
the
Persians
,
the
Grecians
,
the
Romans
,
and
other
great
Governments
,
being
distinguished
by
the
Superscription
of
the
Kings
or
Countreys
where
they
were
made
or
coined
;
as
the
Stater
Philippici
,
Stater
Darici
,
Stater
Alexandrei
,
Stater
Romani
,
&c.
They
were
pure
fine
Gold
,
some
of
which
were
as
much
in
value
as
a
double
Ducat
,
others
as
four
Hungarian
Ducats
,
and
some
as
Portugues
.
The
Drachmon
,
(
of
which
you
may
read
,
Ezra
8.
27
,
&c.
)
is
a
Persian
Coin
,
as
it
seems
,
for
the
Grecian
Interpreters
call
it
Drachmen
,
which
is
as
much
more
as
the
Attick
Drachma
,
and
in
our
money
is
worth
7
s.
6
d.
Adarchon
also
seems
to
be
a
Persian
Coin
,
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
dedicated
to
the
Building
of
the
Temple
;
and
this
man
,
for
the
most
part
,
coined
singular
good
Gold
,
as
Herodotus
in
Melpom.
saith
:
wherefore
they
were
either
called
Darici
,
because
they
wee
coined
by
the
Persian
Kings
,
or
else
,
as
Plutarch
in
Artax
.
observes
,
because
the
Image
of
Darius
stood
upon
one
part
of
it
.
And
was
worth
of
our
money
seven
shillings
and
six
pence
.
Thus
you
may
perceive
what
diversities
of
Weights
were
used
amongst
the
Iews
;
being
crept
in
amongst
them
,
partly
because
of
their
Captivity
,
and
partly
because
of
their
Commerce
and
Trade
with
other
Nations
.
It
is
therefore
worthy
of
observation
,
that
if
at
any
time
you
read
of
any
weight
of
Money
,
Brass
,
or
the
like
,
in
the
Holy
Scripture
,
to
consider
of
what
sort
of
Weight
it
is
,
viz.
whether
a
Weight
of
the
Iews
,
or
some
Foreign
and
strange
Weight
.
If
of
the
Iews
,
whether
it
be
the
common
Sicle
,
the
King's
Sicle
,
or
the
Sicle
of
the
Temple
.
But
if
these
may
be
discerned
,
you
shall
for
the
most
part
find
the
Addition
,
which
may
easily
distinguish
them
.
But
if
there
be
no
addition
,
that
is
the
King's
Sicle
,
or
the
Sicle
of
the
Temple
,
then
you
may
presume
that
it
is
the
common
Sicle
.
And
so
for
other
Weights
and
Monies
.
That
these
things
may
appear
the
plainer
unto
you
,
I
have
here
added
the
principal
Sums
of
Money
,
reduced
to
our
English
Valuations

are

considering
that
if
it
had
been
so
heavy
,
the
King
could
not
have
worn
it
,
therefore
they
think
it
to
be
a
Talent
,
according
to
the
Syrian
weight
,
which
is
not
above
a
quarter
of
an
Hebrew
Talent
,
and
was
of
our
weight
eleven
Pound
four
Ounces
,
that
is
,
551
l.
And
the
reason
of
their
opinion
was
,
because
Rabbah
and
the
whole
Country
of
the
Children
of
Ammon
lay
in
the
Land
of
Syria
,
and
therefore
it
must
necessarily
follow
,
that
their
Weight
was
Syrian
Weight
;
the
King
of
Rabbah
never
wearing
this
Crown
but
when
he
made
some
Solemn
Feast
or
Triumph
.
There
are
others
that
value
it
according
to
the
worth
of
the
Crown
,
not
of
the
Weight
;
and
for
that
it
was
made
of
fine
Gold
,
set
with
pretious
Stones
and
other
Jewels
,
therefore
it
weighed
a
Talent
,
that
is
,
it
was
worth
a
Talent
;
according
to
that
of
Zach.

Mount
Libanus
,
for
the
building
of
the
Temple
,
20000
Corus
of
Wheat
,
and
20000
of
Barley
;
every
Corus
containing
ten
Medimnos
Atticos
,
which
,
according
to
Budeus's
account
,
came
to
twelve
Bushels
and
a
half
English
,
and
in
the
whole
to
150000
Bushels
.
But
if
you
account
it
according
to
the
opinion
of
some
of
our
English
Authors
,
it
comes
but
to
nine
Bushels
and
seven
Gallons
and
a
Pottle
the
Medimna
,
and
in
the
whole
to
198750
Bushels
.
And
besides
,
Solomon
gave
them
20000
Baths
of
Wine
,
and
as
much
Oyl
;
every
Bath
containing
thirteen
Gallons
and
a
Pottle
,
which
amounteth
to
in
the
whole
,
8437
Barrels
and
a
half
.
Now
follows
the
description
of
the
Towns
and
Places
to
which
she
travelled
.
Of
Nazareth
.
THIS
was
a
Town
almost
of
no
estimation
;
scituated
in
a
certain
Mountain
in
Galilee
the
lower
,
sixty
four
miles
and
something
more
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
North
,
in
the
Tribe
of
Zabulon
.
In
this
Town
our
Saviour
Jesus
Christ
was
brought
up
,
Luke
1.
2.
Some
say
that
it
was
nineteen
or
twenty
miles
from
Ierusalem
,
but
they
mistake
themselves
;
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
extant
in
the
Old
Testament
.
It
hath
a
two-fold
derivation
,
the
one
by
Zain
,
and
the
other
by
Zade
.
If
it
be
written
by
Zain
,
it
may
have
a
two-fold
signification
,
since
the
exposition
of
this
name
doth
depend
upon
the
Verb
Nazar
,
which
signifies
,
to
consecrate
and
keep
;
from
hence
Nezaer
,
a
Garland
of
Flowers
,
or
a
Crown
set
with
pretious
Stones
,
&c.
such
as
Kings
and
High-Priests
are
accustomed
to
wear
.
Also
from
the
same
word
Nazar
,
is
derived
Nazir
,
and
thence
Nazaraeus
,
which
is
as
much
as
to
say
,
He
is
separated
from
the
use
of
Wine
;
and
suffering
his
Hair
to
be
un-cut
,
as
being
dedicated
to
the
Lord
.
Therefore
our
Saviour
Christ
is
justly
called
a
Nazarite
,
Luke
2.
For
●aezer
first
signifies
a
holy
man
,
who
hath
made
a
holy
Vow
unto
the
Lord
:
Secondly
,
it
doth
denote
a
Crown
or
wreath
of
Sincerity
,
Exod.
29.
39.
Thirdly
,
a
holy
Ointment
,
wherewith
Kings
and
Priests
were
anointed
,
Levit.
27.
And
fourthly
,
this
word
Nezaer
signifies
,
a
Princely
Crown
,
2
Sam.
1.
2.
Kings
11.
Psal.
89.
132.
So
that
Nazareth
,
being
derived
of
Nazar
and
Nazir
,
may
signifie
both
a
Crown
,
and
a
holy
City
,
Iudg.
13.
but
if
Nazareth
be
written
by
Zade
,
it
signifies
a
flourishing
plant
or
Graff
,
according
to
that
of
Isay
,
c.
11.
But
there
shall
come
a
rod
forth
of
the
stock
of
Ishai
,
and
a
Graff
shall
grow
out
of
his
root
,
and
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
shall
rest
upon
him
.
The
Inhabitants
of
this
Town
at
this
day
shew
certain
Monuments
and
Reliques
of
what
had
happened
in
preceeding
Ages
:
as
,
two
Churches
,
one
built
there
where
the
Angel
Gabriel
saluted
the
Blessed
Virgin
,
and
she
conceived
by
the
Spirit
;
in
which
there
stands
three
Altars
,
hew'n
out
of
a
Rock
:
and
the
other
built
(
as
they
say
)
where
the
house
of
Ioseph
and
Mary
stood
,
because
there
our
Saviour
Christ
was
brought
up
.
Also
they
shew
a
Well
,
where
the
Child
Jesus
drew
Water
,
and
ministred
to
his
Mother
;
they
also
shew
the
vast
Ruins
of
the
Synagogue
where
our
Saviour
Christ
expounded
the
sixty
first
Chapter
of
Isay
,
for
which
cause
they
would
have
thrown
him
headlong
down
the
Hill
,
Luke
4.
and
many
other
things
,
of
which
you
may
read
in
Borchardus
the
Monk
.
In
Saint
Ierom's
time
,
some
forty
years
before
Christ
,
Nazareth
was
a
small
Town
called
Nazarah
.
Of
the
Mountains
by
which
Mary
passed
when
she
went
to
visit
her
Cousin
Elizabeth
.
BEtween
Nazareth
and
Ierusalem
,
there
standeth
many
high
Hills
,
as
,
Mount
Gilboa
,
whereon
King
Saul
killed
himself
;
Mount
Gerisim
,
and
Hebal
,
upon
which
Hills
the
Blessings
and
Cursings
were
pronounced
,
Deut.
27.
and
Mount
Ephraim
,
upon
which
Ehud
kill'd
Eglon
King
of
the
Moabites
,
Iudg.
13.
Over
this
Mountain
,
being
very
great
and
steep
,
Mary
travelled
when
she
went
to
visit
her
Cousin
Elizabeth
.
Of
Bethlehem
.
THERE
were
two
Cities
called
by
this
name
,
the
one
Bethlem
Iudah
;
the
other
Bethlem
Euphrata
,
where
our
Saviour
Christ
was
born
,
and
signifieth
fruitful
,
or
the
house
of
Bread
:
It
stood
upon
a
Hill
,
some
six
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
South
.
The
Inhabitants
take
upon
them
to
shew
the
place
where
our
Saviour
Christ
was
born
,
which
stood
upon
the
East
side
of
the
City
,
close
by
the
Wall
thereof
;
where
,
as
Eusebius
saith
,
Hellen
,
the
Mother
of
Constantine
the
Great
,
caused
to
be
built
a
fair
and
stately
Church
,
three
hundred
and
twenty
years
afte●
the
Nativity
of
Christ
.
This
Church
was
dedicated
to
St.
Mary
,
and
remaineth
to
this
day
,
being
had
in
great
honour
,
both
amongst
the
Christians
,
and
the
Turks
,
and
Saracens
.
This
Church
is
such
a
stately
building
,
that
it
is
thought
to
exceed
all
the
Churches
of
Christendom
,
for
Beauty
and
curious
Workmanship
:
It
is
two
hundred
twenty
eight
Foot
long
,
and
eighty
seven
Foot
wide
,
being
built
all
of
Marble
of
divers
colours
,
and
covered
with
Lead
:
there
are
in
it
four
rowes
of
Marble
Pillars
,
wonderful
to
look
upon
,
not
only
in
regard
of
their
number
but
of
their
greatness
,
for
there
is
fifty
Pillars
in
every
row
.
The
Body
of
this
Church
,
the
Pillars
from
the
bottom
to
the
top
,
the
Walls
,
and
every
part
of
it
,
is
beautified
with
lively
Pictures
,
adorned
with
divers
Colours
,
Silver
,
Gold
,
and
curious
Workmanship
,
so
as
it
is
wonderful
to
behold
.
The
Pavement
of
it
is
of
Marble
,
polished
,
and
of
divers
colours
,
so
cunningly
set
in
Works
,
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
Saviour
Jesus
Christ
,
with
such
excellent
cunning
,
and
so
lively
,
that
it
is
to
be
admired
.
In
the
Quire
of
this
Church
there
is
found
two
Altars
,
one
close
by
the
Chappel
of
St.
Katherine
,
at
the
East
end
thereof
;
not
far
distant
from
which
,
they
shew
the
place
where
our
Saviour
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
unto
our
Saviour
,
when
they
worshipped
him
.
Upon
the
South
side
of
this
Quire
,
towards
the
East
,
they
descend
by
ten
stone
steps
into
the
Chappel
of
the
Nativity
of
Christ
,
richly
beautified
,
and
curiously
wrought
,
paved
with
polished
Marble
.
This
Chappel
is
not
very
great
,
but
wonderful
fair
and
sumptuous
.
When
the
Holy
Land
was
over-run
by
the
Gentiles
,
this
(
as
many
other
places
were
in
that
Country
)
was
all
polluted
with
Filth
and
Dirt
,
that
they
had
much
ado
to
make
it
clean
a
great
while
after
.
Upon
the
place
where
they
said
our
Lady
the
Blessed
Virgin
Mary
brought
forth
our
Saviour
into
the
World
,
there
is
placed
a
Table
of
white
Marble
,
after
the
manner
of
an
Altar
:
about
some
four
Foot
from
this
they
shew
the
place
where
the
Manger
stood
,
a
part
of
it
yet
remaining
,
cut
out
of
a
Rock
,
not
of
Marble
,
but
of
other
stone
,
as
many
other
Mangers
are
in
that
Country
.
Close
by
that
there
is
an
Altar
,
where
they
say
the
Wise
men
presented
their
Gifts
to
our
Saviour
Christ
,
and
worshipped
him
.
At
the
entrance
into
the
Church
,
there
standeth
a
goodly
Building
,
which
in
times
past
seemed
to
have
been
some
Arch-Bishops
See
,
but
now
is
called
St.
Maries
Church
.
Upon
the
North
side
,
they
descended
by
certain
steps
into
the
Chappel
of
St.
Ierom
,
who
lay
a
long
time
buried
there
,
till
his
Bones
were
removed
thence
to
St.
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
flocks
of
sheep
:
for
Aeder●ignifieth
●ignifieth
a
Herd
.
Round
about
this
Tower
were
fair
and
fruitful
Pastures
,
to
which
many
Shepherds
resorted
to
feed
their
Flocks
;
to
some
of
which
Shepherds
the
Angels
told
the
glad
tidings
of
the
Birth
of
our
Saviour
,
and
that
he
was
laid
in
a
Manger
at
Bethlehem
.
For
which
cause
,
in
after
times
there
was
a
Church
built
just
in
the
place
where
the
Tower
stood
;
and
in
Saint
Ierom's
time
called
by
the
name
of
Angelos
ad
Pastores
:
the
same
Luther
affirmeth
,
that
it
is
yet
standing
.
Iacob
sometime
dwelt
in
that
Place
,
and
buried
his
wife
Rachel
thereabouts
.
The
Monument
that
he
set
upon
her
grave
remaineth
to
this
day
,
which
was
twelve
Stones
pitch'd
an
end
,
standing
about
a
quarter
of
a
mile
from
this
place
,
upon
the
right
Hand
as
they
go
to
Ierusalem
:
of
which
Grave
,
all
the
Country
thereabouts
is
called
by
the
name
of
Rachel
.
Of
the
Way
between
Judea
and
Egypt
.
BEtween
Egypt
and
Iudea
lieth
Arabia
Petraea
:
a
Land
for
the
most
part
barren
and
unfruitful
,
full
of
Sands
,
Rocks
,
and
Mountains
,
destitute
of
Water
,
and
subject
to
many
dangers
:
being
in
the
Summer
Solstice
scorched
with
extremity
of
heat
,
the
Sun
being
then
perpendicular
over
them
(
according
to
Munster
)
in
the
day
time
;
and
in
the
night
,
troubled
with
extream
Winds
,
which
,
blowing
the
Sand
with
great
violence
,
it
casteth
it
upon
great
heaps
and
Mountains
,
by
which
dust
,
both
Beasts
and
sometime
men
are
suffocated
and
slain
.
Moreover
,
there
dwelt
in
this
Desart
,
a
rude
and
dangerous
People
,
called
Saracens
;
who
take
their
beginning
from
Ishmael
,
and
are
therefore
also
called
Ishmaelites
,
being
given
to
cruelty
and
malitiousness
.
They
get
their
living
,
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
,
using
to
this
day
their
ancient
evil
custom
of
robbing
and
spoiling
all
that
pass
that
way
;
insomuch
as
Merchants
are
constrained
to
go
in
great
companies
,
lest
they
should
be
indangered
by
them
,
and
by
reason
of
the
Winds
and
Sands
,
are
constrained
to
guide
their
Journey
by
the
Compass
,
as
men
do
that
sail
upon
the
Sea
.
Through
this
Wilderness
did
Ioseph
and
Mary
pass
,
when
they
went
with
the
Child
Jesus
out
of
Iudaea
into
Egypt
;
where
they
were
in
danger
of
Thieves
,
subject
to
be
smothered
by
the
Sands
,
constrained
to
travel
over
high
Rocks
and
Mountains
,
and
to
rest
in
Fear
,
because
of
Lyons
,
Bears
,
and
other
Beasts
which
greatly
abound
in
that
Place
.
Besides
,
divers
other
discommodities
were
incident
unto
them
,
as
want
of
Meat
,
Drink
,
and
other
necessaries
,
there
being
little
Water
to
be
found
there
,
insomuch
as
had
not
the
Lord
by
an
express
command
charged
him
in
a
dream
to
go
down
into
Egypt
,
Ioseph
durst
hardly
have
ventured
upon
so
difficult
and
dangerous
a
Journey
.
But
the
Lord
so
mercifully
provided
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
Son
Christ
Jesus
.
Of
Hermopolis
.
HErmopolis
was
called
the
Town
of
Mercury
,
distant
from
Ierusalem
304
miles
towards
the
South-West
:
it
was
one
of
the
chief
Cities
in
Egypt
,
as
Appianus
writeth
.
Nicephorus
and
Zozemenus
affirm
,
lib.
5.
cap.
22.
that
Ioseph
and
Mary
came
and
lived
in
this
Town
,
where
they
continued
all
the
days
of
Herod
,
that
cruel
King
.
But
Ziglerius
saith
,
that
they
lived
in
the
Land
of
Gosen
,
where
the
Patriarch
Iacob
and
his
Posterity
lived
:
which
agreeth
well
with
the
words
of
S.
Matthew
,
cap.
2.
and
Hosea
11.
Out
of
Egypt
have
I
called
my
Son
.
This
Land
of
Gosen
lay
200
miles
from
Ierusalem
,
towards
the
South-West
.
The
Inhabitants
of
Alcair
in
Egypt
take
upon
them
to
shew
the
place
where
Ioseph
and
Mary
dwelt
,
when
they
went
down
into
that
Country
;
but
how
true
it
is
I
cannot
tell
,
because
there
is
no
Author
for
it
.
Of
Canah
in
Galilee
.
THis
was
a
City
in
Galilee
,
distant
from
Ierusalem
sixty
eight
miles
towards
the
North
;
of
which
you
may
read
more
in
the
Travels
of
our
Saviour
Christ
.
Of
Capernaum
.
THis
Town
stood
upon
the
Sea
of
Galilee
,
sixty
eight
miles
from
Ierusalem
toward
the
North
;
of
which

The
Trav●ls
of
the
Wise
Men
of
the
East
,
which
came
to
Bethlehem
to
see
Jesus
.
THE
Magi
were
certain
wise
men
of
Persia
,
so
called
from
Meditation
,
being
derived
of
Hagah
,
that
is
,
he
hath
meditated
;
and
taken
in
the
third
Conjugation
,
it
signifies
,
to
find
or
search
out
a
thing
,
they
being
such
as
gave
themselves
to
the
knowledge
of
hard
things
,
and
to
find
out
the
Secrets
and
mysteries
of
Nature
.
But
,
according
to
Varinus
,
they
were
not
only
Philosophers
,
but
Priests
also
.
And
Pla●o
upon
Alcibiades
,
saith
,
Magia
est
Deorum
observantia
sive
●ultus
divinus
;
that
is
,
Magick
prescribed
the
due
observance
and
divine
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
Divine
knowledge
.
And
when
the
ten
Tribes
were
carried
into
captivity
by
Sal●anasser
Emperour
of
the
Assyrians
(
into
Assyria
,
Media
,
and
Persia
)
there
is
no
question
but
they
took
with
them
into
the
East
,
the
holy
Books
and
Volumes
of
the
Law
,
and
of
the
Prophets
,
whereby
,
without
doubt
,
many
of
the
People
and
Philosophers
of
the
East
came
to
have
a
taste
of
the
true
knowledge
and
worship
of
God
.
Also
the
Prophet
Daniel
was
brought
up
in
all
the
Arts
of
the
Caldaeans
;
whose
Writings
and
Prophecies
were
not
only
written
and
published
amongst
the
Babyl●nians
,
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
Saviour
Jesus
Christ
,
whom
they
called
the
Star
of
Iacob
;
from
whence
may
be
concluded
,
that
the
Wise-Men
that
came
to
see
our
Saviour
Christ
,
were
rather
of
Susa
in
Persia
,
than
of
Zaba
in
Aethiopia
.
Wherefore
these
Wise
Men
came
from
the
Academy
of
Susa
in
Persia
to
Ierusalem
,
which
was
920
miles
;
saying
,
Where
is
he
that
is
born
King
of
the
Iews
?
for
we
have
seen
his
Star
in
the
East
,
and
are
come
to
worship
him
.
This
hapned
in
the
month
of
January
,
in
the
second
year
after
the
birth
of
our
Saviour
;
for
Herod
in
the
seventieth
year
of
his
age
caused
all
the
male
Children
of
the
Bethlemites
of
two
years
old
and
under
(
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
six
miles
,
where
,
upon
the
sixth
of
January
they
offered
their
Presents
which
they
brought
out
of
Persia
,
to
our
Saviour
;
viz.
Gold
,
as
to
a
King
;
Frankincense
,
as
to
a
Priest
;
and
Myrth
,
as
to
a
Mortal
man
,
Mat.
2.
So
let
us
offer
unto
Christ
our
Saviour
,
the
Gold
of
Faith
and
heavenly
Doctrine
;
the
Frankincense
of
earnest
Prayers
,
and
the
Myrrh
of
Patience
in
the
midst
of
Calamity
.
Afterward
,
the
Wise-Men
(
as
they
had
been
warned
in
a
dream
)
returned
another
way
to
Susa
in
Persia
,
which
was
920
miles
.
So
their
Travels
were
1846
miles
.
Of
Susa
you
may
read
before
in
the
Travels
of
the
Old
Testament
.
Of
the
Star
that
appeared
to
the
Wise-Men
in
the
East
.
SInce
this
Star
appeared
in
the
lower
Region
of
the
Air
,
(
as
it
is
apparent
it
did
)
from
thence
it
may
be
concluded
,
that
it
neither
was
any
of
the
fixed
Stars
,
Planet
,
or
a
Comet
,
because
they
commonly
are
seen
in
the
upper
Region
of
the
Air
;
but
rather
,
according
to
the
opinion
of
some
,
it
was
an
Angel
of
God
,
appearing
in
the
form
of
a
bright
shining
Star
,
to
direct
the
Wise
Men
in
their
way
they
went
to
the
Town
of
Bethlem
;
and
so
by
little
and
little
descending
from
the
sublimity
of
the
Air
,
pointed
out
unto
them
the
very
house
where
they
might
find
Mary
the
Mother
of
our
Lord
,
and
the
Child
Jesus
;
almost
after
the
same
manner
as
the
Angel
of
the
Lord
in
the
time
of
Moses
appeared
to
the
Children
of
Israel
;
that
is
,
in
the
day
like
a
cloudy
Pillar
,
and
in
the
night
like
a
flaming
Fire
,
to
direct
them
their
way
,
Exod.
13.
14.
34.
Wherefore
this
Star
without
doubt
was
no
natural
Apparition
,
which
happened
in
the
inferiour
Region
of
the
Air
,
suddenly
vanishing
away
;
but
,
as
I
have
said
,
an
Angel
of
the
Lord
representing
the
form
of
a
Star
.
Or
else
,
as
Chrysostom
saith
,
a
certain
miraculous
new
Star
,
which
,
according
to
the
opinion
of
Augustine
,
was
governed
by
an
Angel
of
the
Lord
;
and
for
the
greatness
of
the
Body
,
and
variety
of
the
Aspects
,
was
not
seen
first
in
the
Land
of
Iudaea
,
but
in
Persia
,
a
Country
in
the
East
,
where
the
Magi
dwelt
,
and
accompanied
thence
into
Iudaea
.
And
although
for
a
short
space
it
left
them
in
their
Journey
,
yet
when
they
came
in
the
way
to
Bethlem
,
it
appeared
to
them
again
,
Mat.
2.
As
Nicephorus
and
Chrysostom
observe
,
the
Star
appeared
upon
the
day
of
the
Conception
of
Christ
,
being
the
twenty
fifth
day
of
March
;
about
which
time
the
Arch-Angel
Gabriel
spoke
with
the
Virgin
Mary
,
Luke
1.
and
was
seen
for
a
whole
year
and
forty
one
weeks
,
that
is
,
till
the
sixth
of
Ianuary
,
in
the
beginning
of
the
second
year
after
the
Nativity
of
Christ
.
It
wanted
eleven
weeks
of
two
years
;
and
therefore
Herod
caused
all
the
Male-children
of
the
Bethlehemites
of
two
years
old
and
under
,
to
be
slain
according
to
the
time
declared
unto
him
by
the
Wise-men
.
Mat.

Wherefore
this
new
Star
did
first
fore-shew
the
Birth
of
Christ
,
that
bright
shining
Star
and
eternal
light
of
Glory
,
according
to
the
Prophecy
of
Billa
,
Num.

Light
of

Thirdly
,
Godly
and
Faithful

who
by
their

godly
Life
and

,
should

before
their

The
Travels
of
John
Baptist.
IN
the
Month
of
Thisri
,
which
answereth
to
our
September
,
Anno
Mundi
,
3966
,
the
Feast
of
the
Tabernacles
being
then
celebrated
,
the
Arch-Angel
Gabriel
told
Zacharias
the
Priest
,
of
the
Conception
of
Iohn
the
Baptist
,
which
should
be
the
voice
of
a
Crier
in
the
Wilderness
.
And
a
little
after
,
that
is
,
about
the
Autumnal
Aeqinoctial
,
Iohn
the
Baptist
was
conceived
six
Months
before
our
Saviour
.
The
next
year
after
,
about
the
Month
of
Iuly
,
he
was
born
.
Six
Months
after
that
,
our
Saviour
Christ
was
born
.
In
which
year
,
Zacharias
,
the
Father
of
Iohn
Baptist
,
was
slain
in
the
upper
Court
,
between
the
Altar
and
the
Temple
,
for
saying
,
that
our
Saviour
Christ
was
born
,
and
,
that
Mary
his
Mother
was
a
Virgin
,
Mat.
33.
Wherefore
Elizabeth
,
the
Wife
of
Zacharias
,
fearing
the
cruelty
of
Herod
and
of
the
Pharisees
,
about
that
time
when
the
young
Infants
of
the
Bethlehemites
were
slain
,
she
fled
from
Ierusalem
to
Apumim
,
as
Nicephorus
saith
,
which
was
scituated
in
the
Wilderness
between
Iericho
and
Ierusalem
,
where
she
privately
brought
up
her
Son
,
being
thirty
two
miles
.
In
the
thirty
ninth
Year
of
the
Nativity
of
Christ
,
and
upon
the
twenty
fourth
day
of
Iune
,
Iohn
the
Baptist
being
then
thirty
Years
of
Age
,
by
the
Commandment
of
the
Lord
,
took
upon
him
the
Ministry
;
for
it
was
not
lawful
for
any
to
enter
into
that
Function
before
they
were
thirty
Years
of
Age
,
Numb

Wherefore
,
upon
the
eight
and
twentieth
day
of
September
,
it
being
then
the
Feast
of
the
Tabernacles
,
and
about
the
middle
of
the
last
Week
spoken
of
by
Daniel
,
he
went
from
Adumim
to
Bethabara
,
where
he
took
upon
him
the
Ministry
of
the
New
Testament
:
Hannas
the
chief
Priest
being
then
newly
entred
into
that
Office
,
Luke
2.
(
which
was
about
four
miles
)
and
within
a
short
time
after
,
that
is
,
upon
the
seventh
day
of
October
,
being
then
the
Feast
of
Expiation
,
our
Lord
and
Saviour
Jesus
Christ
was
baptised
,
when
he
was
fully
thirty
Years
of
Age
,

Iohn

In
the
Year
following
,
which
was
the
one
and
thirtieth
Year
of
the
Nativity
of
Christ
,
a
little
before
the
Feast
of
Easter
,
the
Synedrion
of
Ierusalem
sent
Messengers
unto
Iohn
,
he
then
remaining
at
Bethabara
,
to
know
whether
he
was
the
Christ
,
or
Elias
,
or
some
other
Prophet
,
Iohn
1.
Upon
the
eighteenth
day
of
September
,
the
same
Year
,
Iohn
entred
upon
the
second
year
of
his
Ministry
;
about
which
time
,
Caiphas
began
to
enter
upon
the
Office
of
the
High
Priest
,
and
the
Sadducees
and
Pharisees
to
persecute
Iohn
Baptist.
Wherefore
he
departed
from
Bethabara
,
and
went
to
Aenon
,
a
City
in
Galilee
,
which
was
twenty
four
miles
.
After
that
Iohn
had
preached
publickly
and
freely
,
by
the
space
of
a
whole
year
and
two
months
;
about
the
month
of
December
,
and
the
end
of
the
first
year
of
the
Ministry
of
our
Saviour
,
by
the
Commandment
of
Herod
,
he
was
taken
and
led
Prisoner
from
Aenon
to
the
Tower
of
Macheruntes
,
which
was
twenty
eight
miles
;
where
he
remained
untill
his
Death
.
So
all
his
Travels
were
eighty
eight
miles
.
Of
the
Towns
and
Places
to
which
he
travelled
.
Of
Cana
in
Galilee
.
THis
was
a
City
of
the
lower
Galilee
,
where
our
blessed
Saviour
Christ
turned
Water
into
Wine
,
being
distant
from
Ierusalem
68
miles
Northward
.
The
place
where
our
Saviour
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
,
seems
)
there
have
been
many
Churches
and
Buildings
set
upon
it
,
which
being
sundry
times
overthrown
,
the
ruins
thereof
have
raised
the
Earth
in
such
sort
,
that
the
antient
Place
is
as
it
were
hidden
and
laid
under
the
earth
,
as
is
also
the
place
of
the
Anuntiation
of
the
Nativity
of
our
Saviour
Christ
,
and
many
other
where
he
wrought
Miracles
;
to
which
they
do
descend
down
under
the
earth
by
steps
.
Upon
the
North
side
of
this
Town
stood
a
round
Hill
,
and
upon
the
South
a
goodly
Plain
;
being
called
Cana
in
Galilee
,
to
put
distinction
between
it
and
another
Town
called
after
the
same
name
,
which
stood
upon
the
borders
of
Tyrus
and
Sidon
,
in
the
Tribe
of
Asser
;
in
which
the
Canaanitish
woman
,
or
Syrophoenicean
dwelt
,
which
besought
Christ
to
heal
her
Daughter
,
who
was
possessed
of
a
Devil
,

Mark

Which
was
called
Canah
the
greater
,
as
this
was
called
Canah
the
less
,
and
was
distant
each
from
the
other
44
miles
.
Canah
was
so
called
,
because
round
about
it
grew
Reeds
,
and
there
were
many
moorish
and
waterish
grounds
,
whereof
the
Town
took
the
name
.
For
Canah
signifies
a
Reed
:
which
is
a
fit
type
of
the
Church
;
for
,
as
our
Saviour
Christ
at
this
Town
(
which
stood
in
a
moorish
and
Reedy
place
)
graced
the
marriage
with
an
extraordinary
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
wavering
Reed
)
with
the
glorious
presence
of
his
gracious
countenance
,
and
in
the
World
to
come
crown
it
with
Eternal
Glory
.
Of
Ca●ernaum
.
THis
City
was
so
called
from
the
pleasant
and
comfortable
Scituation
of
it
.
In
the
Hebrew
Text
Mathew
calls
it
Ca
harnacu●
,
i.
The
Town
of
comfort
;
being
derived
of
No●●am
,
i.
Consolation
.
In
this
Town
our
Saviour
dwelt
after
he
had
left
Nazareth
,
and
in
it
wrought
many
Miracles
,
as
the
healing
of
the
sick
,
casting
out
of
Devils
,
and
such
like
,
whereof
you
may
read

It
stood

,
in
an
angle
of
Land

to

Sea
of

,
56
miles
from
Ierusalem
Northward
,
in
the
Tribe
of

;
and
,
as
it
is
thought
by
some
,
just
in
the
midst
of
the
twelve
Tribes
.
Mat.

calls
it
the
City
of
our
Saviour
.
And
that
Christ
was
no
Stranger
,
but
an
Inhabitant
of
this
City
,
it
is
manifest
,
Mat.
17.
where
Christ
,
when
he
gave
Tribute
to
the
Magistrates
of
this
City
,
asked
Peter
,
saying
,
Of
whom
do
the
Kings
of
the
Earth
take
tribute
?
Peter
said
,
of
strangers
:
then
,
quoth
he
,
the
Children
are
free
;
yet
nevertheless
,
&c.
From
whence
may
be
gathered
,
that
he
was
no
Stranger
,
but
an
Inhabitant
in
Capernaum
.
It
had
upon
the
North
side
of
it
the
three
Tribes
,
Ne●thalim
Asser
,
and
Zabulon
;
upon
the
South
,
Benjamin
,
Iuda
,
Dan
,
and
Simeon
;
upon
the
West
Issachar
,
Epharaim
,
and
the
half
Tribe
of
Manasses
;
and
upon
the
East
,
Reuben
,
Gad
,
and
the
other
half
Tribe
of
Manasses
:
so
that
our
Saviour
Christ
dwelt
in
the
midst
of
the
twelve
Tribes
of
Israel
.
Furthermore
,
it
was
a
goodly
Market
Town
,
and
had
as
well
relation
to
Tyrus
and
Sidon
(
two
Towns
of
the
Gentiles
,
within
forty
four
miles
of
it
)
as
to
Ierusalem
from
whence
may
be
verified
that
saying
of
Esa.
ca.
8
,
9.
The
Land
of
Zebulon
and
Naphtalim
,
near
the
way
of
the
Sea
beyond
Jordan
,
and
Galilee
of
the
Gentiles
;
a
People
which
sit
in
Darkness
,
and
in
the
shadow
of
Death
,
saw
a
great
Light
.
This
Town
is
therefore
justly
called
the
City
of
Comfort
and
Consolation
;
since
our
Saviour
Christ
dwelt
there
,
who
with
his
Doctrine
and
preaching
refreshed
and
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
private
profit
,
than
to
the
Doctrine
and
Miracles
that
Christ
wrought
among
them
;
from
whence
it
came
to
pass
,
that
they
did
as
it
were
neglect
and
contemn
that
Good
which
God
had
offered
to
them
:
which
made
our
Saviour
say
,
And
thou
Capernaum
,
which
seemest
to
be
exalted
up
unto
Heaven
,
shall
be
cast
down
into
Hell
:
for
if
the
Miracles
had
been
done
in
Sodom
and
Gomorrah
,
which
have
been
done
in
thee
,
they
had
continued
until
this
day
.
Verily
,
verily
,
I
say
unto
you
,
it
shall
be
easier
for
Sodom
and
Gomorrah
in
the
day
of
Iudgment
,
than
for
thee
,
Mat.

For
there
was
no
such
benefit
offered
to
any
City
,
neither
such
Honours
and
Dignities
,
as
were
to
Capernaum
,
our
Saviour
himself
dwelling
there
.
Wherefore
,
for
their
Ingratitude
and
Impiety
,
the
City
hath
divers
times
been
wasted
and
destroyed
,
as
well
by
the
Romans
as
other
Nations
;
so
that
at
this
day
,
this
Glorious
City
is
become
so
Desolate
,
that
there
is
scarce
eight
Houses
standing
,
and
they
also
like
small
Sheds
.
Of
Sichar
.
IN
antient
time
this
Town
was
called
Sichem
,
of
which
you
may
read
more
both
in
the
Travels
of
Iacob
and
Abimelech
.
After
it
came
to
be
called
Sichar
,
according
to
the
opinion
of
Luther
upon
Genesis
,
because
the
Inhabitants
of
that
Country
were
given
to
Pleasure
and
Voluptuousness
,
the
greatest
part
of
their
Delight
being
in
drinking
and
quaffing
:
so
Sichar
being
derived
of
Schachar
,
signifieth
,
to
be
Drunk
,
or
inordinately
to
swallow
sweet
and
pleasant
Wine
,
of
which
there
was
plenty
in
that
Town
,
made
of
the
Juice
of
Apples
,
the
Fruit
of
Palm-Trees
,
and
Honey
,
which
may
very
well
resemble
Hipocras
or
Metheglin
,
as
some
Authors
have
it
.
And
although
by
the
Incursions
of
the
Romans
it
was
utterly
wasted
and
left
Desolate
,
yet
in
succeeding
times
it
was
re-built
,
and
called
Nicapolis
,
that
is
,
a
New
Town
.
It
is
scituated
very
pleasantly
,
and
aboundeth
with
all
manner
of
Delights
;
but
it
is
unfortified
,
neither
can
it
by
any
means
be
fortified
;
neither
have
the
Inhabitants
any
help
,
if
they
be
oppressed
by
the
Enemy
,
but
to
fly
:
for
it
is
scituated
in
the
middle
of
a
Valley
,
between
two
high
Mountains
,
so
that
a
man
may
fling
a
stone
from
the
top
of
one
of
them
into
the
City
.
About
two
Bows
shot
without
the
South
Gate
of
this
Town
,
is
to
be
seen
the
Fountain
or
Well
of
Iacob
,
upon
the
Brim
of
which
our
Saviour
Christ
sate
when
he
was
weary
,
as
we
may
read
in
the
fourth
of
Iohn
.
This
Well
standeth
just
in
the
way
as
Pilgrims
travel
to
Ierusalem
.
Upon
the
right
hand
above
this
Well
,
there
standeth
a
Mountain
of
an
exceeding
height
,
divided
into
two
tops
,
the
one
of
them
being
called
Gerizim
,
the
other
Hebal
.
In
Mount
Gerizim
the
Patriarch
Ioshuah
built
an
Altar
,
and
the
People
standing
upon
Mount
Hebal
,
he
caused
the
whole
Book
of
Deuteronomy
to
be
read
over
,
with
the
Blessings
and
Cursings
,
so
that
all
the
People
might
hear
them
;
for
thus
we
read
in
Ios.
8.
The
one
half
of
the
People
stood
close
by
Mount
Gerizim
,
and
the
other
by
Mount
Hebal
,
&c.
Deut.
chap.

These
two
great
Mountains
began
upon
the
right
side
of
the
City
Sichar
,
and
extended
themselves
in
length
to
the
City
of
Iericho
.
Upon
the
left
side
of
this
Well
is
to
be
seen
the
Ruins
of
a
great
Town
,
which
is
thought
to
be
the
old
Sichem
,
and
by
the
Reliques
that
remain
there
,
it
may
be
judged
to
have
been
a
very
goodly
City
.
For
there
are
yet
to
be
seen
certain
broken
Pillars
of
Marble
,
as
also
large
and
spacious
Buildings
,
which
in
times
past
,
without
Question
,
have
been
very
goodly
things
,
and
standeth
wonderful
pleasantly
;
the
Soil
round
about
it
being
very
pleasant
and
fruitful
,
only
there
is
want
of
Water
.
This
Town
lieth
some
two
Bows
shot
from
Sichar
,
and
the
Inhabitants
of
that
place
judge
this
Sichar
to
be
Thebez
,
where
Abimelech
died
,
Iudg.
9.
Not
far
from
Iacob's
Well
,
is
to
be
seen
that
piece
of
Ground
which
Iacob
gave
to
Ioseph
,
more
than
the
rest
of
his
Brethren
,
Gen.
48.
It
is
a
long
Valley
,
very
fruitful
and
pleasant
,
where
there
lies
butied
,
in
a
certain
fair
Garden
,
the
Bones
of
Iacob
and
Ioseph
,
which
were
brought
out
of
Aegypt
,
Iosh.
24.
the
Reliques
of
which
Sepulchre
are
yet
to
be
seen
.
Mount
Garizim
or
Gerizim
,
is
so
called
from
the
cutting
down
of
Trees
:
for
Garaz
signifies
,
to
cut
down
.
Upon
this
Mountain
is
to
be
seen
(
even
to
this
day
)
the
place
where
the
Temple
stood
,
that
was
built
by
Sanballath
,
dedicated
to
Iupiter
Olympius
,
in
contempt
of
the
Temple
of
Ierusalem
.
The
Chief
Priest
of
this
Temple
was
one
Manasses
,
a
Fugitive
,
of
the
stock
of
Levi.
This
Manasses
was
Brother
to
Iaddus
,
Chief
Priest
of
Ierusalem
,
of
whom
you
may
read
,
Nehem.
13.
But
some
200
years
after
the
first
Foundation
,
Iohn
Hircanus
,
High-Priest
of
Ierusalem
,
utterly
destroyed
it
to
the
Ground
.
The
Travels
of
our
Saviour
Christ
in
the
second
year
of
his
Ministry
;
which
was
the
two
and
thirtieth
year
of
his
age
.
IN
the
Month
of
Ianuary
,
Christ
went
from
Cana
in
Galilee
to
Nazareth
,
which
was
eight
miles
.
Here
,
upon
the
Sabbath-day
,
he
went
into
the
Synagogue
,
and
began
to
teach
,
insomuch
as
the
Inhabitants
were
astonished
at
his
Doctrine
:
but
the
Citizens
being
ingrateful
,
he
went
to
Capernaum
,
a
City
which
I
have
chosen
to
dwell
in
before
all
others
,
Luke
4.
Mat.
4.
being
twelve
miles
,
or
thereabouts
.
In
the
Month
of
February
,
he
compassed
about
all
Galilee
,
preaching
the
Gospel
of
the
Kingdom
of
God
,
healing
the
Sick
,
and
those
that
were
diseased
amongst
the
People
,
Mat.
4.
In
this
Visitation
our
Saviour
went
to
Caesarea
Philippi
,
which
was
distant
from
Capernaum
forty
eight
miles
toward
the
North.
Here
Matthew
was
called
,
as
he
was
at
the
receipt
of
Custome
;
and
the
Woman
was
healed
of
her
Bloody
Issue
,
Mat.
9.
But
that
Matthew
was
called
about
this
time
,
the
circumstances
of
times
make
evident
;
for
,
a
little
after
the
second
Passover
of
our
Saviour
Christ
,
the
same
Matthew
was
chosen
to
be
an
Apostle
,
Luke
5.
6.
Mat.
9.
Mark
2.
In
the
Month
of
March
,
the
Inhabitants
of
the
Towns
which
Christ
visited
in
Galilee
,
brought
unto
him
many
that
were
possessed
of
Devils
,
and
afflicted
with
other
Diseases
,
all
which
he
healed
:
insomuch
that
there
followed
him
a
great
company
out
of
Galilee
and
Decapolis
,
and
from
Ierusalem
and
Iudaea
,
and
of
all
the
Countries
beyond
Iordan
,
Mat.
3.
Thus
having
finished
this
Visitation
,
as
it
may
be
thought
,
he
returned
back
to
Capernaum
,
where
he
dwelt
,
as
I
have
told
you
before
,
which
was
forty
eight
miles
;
for
Caesarea
Philippi
stood
so
far
from
Capernaum
.
The
second
Passover
of
the
Ministry
of
Christ
.
A
little
after
these
things
were
finished
,
was
the
Feast
of
the
Iews
,
Iohn
4.
and
Jesus
went
up
to
Ierusalem
,
Iohn
5.
to
celebrate
the
Feast
of
the
Passeover
,
which
this
year
happened
a
little
before
Harvest
,
which
was
56
miles
.
This
second
Passeover
of
the
Ministry
of
Christ
fell
upon
the
six
and
twentieth
day
of
March
,
at
which
time
Christ
celebrated
the
Passover
with
his
Disciples
,
according
to
the
Law
of
God
.
Here
,
upon
the
Sabbath
day
,
being
the
last
day
of
March
,
he
healed
a
certain
man
that
lay
by
the
Pool
of
Bethesda
,
which
had
been
diseased
eight
and
thirty
years
,
Ioh.
5.
And
at
the
end
of
the
Passover
he
went
with
his
Disciples
from
Ierusalem
,
through
the
Corn
Fields
:
but
his
Disciples
being
hungry
began
to
pluck
the
ears
of
Corn
,
and
to
eat
them
;
wherefore
the
Pharisees
being
offended
at
them
,
began
to
reprehend
our
Saviour
Christ
and
his
Disciples
:
upon
which
followed
the
disputation
concerning
the
Sabbath
,
Luke
6.
Matth
12.
Upon
the
seventh
day
of
April
he
went
on
the
Sabbath
day
to
Peraea
,
which
Country
was
in
the
Command
of
Herod
Antipas
,
and
there
he
healed
a
man
with
a
dried
hand
,
Luke
6.
Mark
3.
The
Country
of
Peraea
beyond
Iordan
,
is
distant
from
Ierusalem
twenty
miles
.
But
when
the
Herodian
Council
heard
that
he
had
healed
a
man
on
the
Sabbath
day
,
they
sought
occasion
how
they
might
do
to
put
him
to
death
,
wherefore
our
Saviour
Christ
went
thence
to
the
Sea
of
Galilee
,
which
was
40
miles
.
Here
he
went
up
into
a
mountain
not
far
from
Capernaum
,
and
chose
the
twelve
Apostles
,
Luke
6.
Mark
3.
And
then
upon
this
Mountain
he
preached
unto
the
People
which
resorted
thither
unto
him
out
of
the
Country
round
about
,
whom
they
heard
with
great
diligence
and
attendance
.
This
Sermon
being
ended
,
he
came
down
from
the
Mountain
and
healed
the
man
that
was
sick
of
the
Leprosie
.
He
also
went
into
Capernaum
,
and
healed
the
Centurion's
Servant
,
Mat
8.
Luke
7.
Afterward
Christ
,
in
the
same
Month
of
April
,
when
the
man
whom
he
healed
of
his
Leprosie
had
published
the
Miracle
,
he
went
from
Capernaum
into
the
Desart
which
lay
near
unto
Bethsaida
;
for
there
was
a
certain
Desart
,
Mark
1.
Luke
7.
In
the
month
of
May
,
our
Saviour
went
out
of
Galilee
towards
Ierusalem
to
keep
the
Feast
of
Pentecost
;
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
Widows
Son
to
life
,
Luke
7.
and
after
he
went
to
Ierusalem
,
which
was
48
miles
,
that
he
might
celebrate
the
Feast
of
Pentecost
according
to
the
Law
of
God
,
Exo.
23.
Thrice
every
year
shall
every
male
Child
appear
before
the
Lord
thy
God
.
This
Feast
fell
this
year
upon
the
fifteenth
day
of
May
,
for
it
behoved
our
Saviour
,
according
to
the
Law
,
to
go
every
year
to
Ierusalem
to
these
three
principal
Feasts
,
that
is
,
of
the
Passover
,
Pentecost
,
and
of
the
Tabernacles
.
A
little
after
the
Feast
of
Pentecost
,
Iohn
Baptist
(
being
then
in
Prison
)
having
certain
intelligence
of
the
Miracle
that
our
Saviour
wrought
upon
the
Widdows
Son
at
the
gate
of
Naim
;
and
of
other
wonderful
Miracles
that
he
did
in
Ierusalem
,
and
in
other
places
in
Iudea
,
sent
two
of
his
Disciples
from
the
Castle
of
Macharuntes
,
to
ask
him
the
question
,
whether
he
was
the
Messia
or
no
?
So
when
they
came
unto
him
,
and
delivered
him
their
Message
,
at
that
time
he
cured
many
of
their
sickness
and
Plagues
,
and
evil
Spirits
,
and
to
many
blind
men
he
gave
sight
freely
.
And
Jesus
said
unto
them
,
Go
your
ways
,
and
tell
John
what
things
you
have
seen
and
heard
,
that
the
blind
see
,
the
halt
go
,
the
lepers
are
cleansed
,
the
deaf
hear
,
the
dead
are
raised
,
and
the
poor
receive
the
Gospel
:
And
blessed
is
he
that
shall
not
be
offended
on
me
,
Mathew
11.
Luke
7.
At
this
Sermon
it
was
thought
he
converted
the
sinner
that
washed
his
feet
,
and
poured
a
box
of
pretious
Oyl
upon
his
head
,
Luke
7.
In
the
month
of
Iune
our
Saviour
Jesus
Christ
went
with
the
Twelve
about
six
and
fifty
miles
out
of
Iudea
into
Galilee
,
and
there
,
in
divers
Cities
and
Towns
he
began
to
preach
and
teach
the
Kingdom
of
God
.
At
this
time
there
were
divers
Women
followed
him
,
whom
he
had
healed
of
evil
Spirits
and
of
their
Infirmities
;
but
principally
Mary
Magdalen
,
out
of
whom
he
had
cast
seven
Devils
;
and
Ioan
the
wife
of
Chuza
,
Herod's
Procurator
,
and
Susanna
:
all
which
ministred
unto
him
of
their
Substance
,
Luke
8.
Now
when
he
had
travelled
from
place
to
place
some
certain
time
,
and
visited
many
Cities
and
Towns
thereabout
,
he
returned
back
again
to
the
City
of
Capernaum
,
where
it
is
said
that
our
Saviour
Christ
dwelt
;
and
there
dispossest
the
man
of
a
Devil
,
that
was
both
blind
,
lame
,
and
dumb
,
Mat.
12.
Mar.

Luke
11.
And
going
thence
to
the
Sea
,
he
recited
eight
Parables
,
Mat.
13.
Mark
.
4.
Luke
8.
In
the
evening
of
the
same
day
,
he
went
six
miles
,
into
the
Country
of
the
Gadarens
,
Mar.
4.
Luke
8.
The
next
day
,
betimes
in
the
morning
,
he
went
out
of
the
Ship
into
the
Country
of
the
Gadarens
,
and
healed
two
that
were
possessed
of
Devils
,
Mat.
2.
Mar.
5.
Luke
8.
Out
of
these
two
he
cast
a
Legion
of
Devils
,
and
suffered
them
to
enter
into
the
Herd
of
Swine
,
which
they
carried
headlong
into
the
Sea
.
Presently
our
Saviour
Christ
went
thence
six
miles
,
into
the
Land
of
Genesareth
,
where
there
was
a
great
multitude
upon
the
Sea
shore
,
not
far
from
the
City
of
Capernaum
,
that
expected
his
coming
,
Mar.

Luke
8.
Within
a
few
daies
after
,
about
the
beginning
of
Iune
,
he
entred
into
Capernaum
,
and
there
he
healed
the
man
that
lay
sick
upon
his
Bed
of
a
dead
Palsie
,
Mat.
9.
Mar.
2.
Luke
5.
After
,
he
went
to
Sea
,
and
taught
the
multitude
that
came
to
him
,
Mar.
2.
From
Capernaum
he
went
to
Caesarea
Philippi
,
forty
eight
miles
,
where
,
being
invited
to
a
Banquet
by
Matthew
,
he
eat
among
Publicans
and
Sinners
,
and
confuted
the
Pharisees
and
Iohn's
Disciples
.
In
the
same
City
he
restored
the
Daughter
of
Iairus
to
life
,
Mat.
9.
Mark
2.
Luke
5.
and
as
he
went
thence
,
he
restored
two
men
to
their
sight
,
and
cast
out
a
Devil
,
Mat.
9.
About
the
end
of
the
Month
of
Iuly
,
our
Saviour
Christ
went
from
Caesarea
Philippi
to
Nazareth
,
thirty
six
miles
;
where
,
because
of
the
ingratitude
and
contempt
of
the
Citizens
,
he
did
no
great
Miracles
,
Mark
6.
Mat.
13.
In
the
Month
of
August
,
our
Saviour
Christ
went
from
Nazareth
toward
Ierusalem
,
to
the
Feast
of
Tabernacles
,
and
as
he
went
,
he
visited
the
Towns
and
Cities
near
adjoyning
.
Now
when
he
saw
that
they
wanted
Teachers
,
it
being
at
this
time
the
second
Harvest
,
he
said
unto
his
Disciples
,
Lo
,
the
Harvest
is
great
,
but
the
Labourers
are
few
,
&c.
and
he
sent
his
Disciples
out
into

had

Also
in

it

the
Fruits

From
Galilee
,
our
Saviour
Christ
came
to
Ierusalem
,
sixty
four
miles
;
where
,
from
the
twentieth
to
the
twenty
seventh
day
of
September
,
he
celebrated
the
Feast
of
Tabernacles
,
according
to
the
Law
of
God
.

viz.
in
October
,
November
,
and
December
,
for
their
great
multitude
cannot
be
described
.
So
the
Travels
of
our
Saviour
Christ
in
the
second
year
of
his
Ministry
were
912
miles
.
Of
the
Towns
and
Places
to
which
he
travelled
.
Of
Caesarea
Philippi
.
THIS
City
is
scituated
not
far
from
the
foot
of
the
Mountain
Antilibanus
,
104
miles
from
Ierusalem
toward
the
North
,
close
by
the
two
Wells
of
Iordan
,
Ior
,
and
Dan.
Upon
the
East
side
of
this
City
these
two
Streams
meet
,
and
make
the
River
Iordan
.
Philip
,
the
Tetrarch
of
Traconitis
,
called
this
City
after
his
own
name
,
Philippus
;
and
in
honour
of
the
Roman
Caesars
,
he
added
the
name
of
Caesarea
;
Tiberias
at
this
time
being
Emperour
of
Rome
.
In
times
past
it
was
called
Laisch
,
or
Lais
,
which
signifies
a
ravening
or
roaring
Lion
.
But
the
Tribe
of
Dan
having
conquered
it
and
rebuilt
it
again
,
they
called
it
Dan
,
and
the
Inhabitants
of
the
Holy
Land
,
Lae●hem
Dan
,
as
you
may
read
in
the
Travels
of
the
Danites
.
But
the
Town
(
as
it
is
reported
by
such
as
have
travelled
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
Ecclesiastical
Histories
)
the
Woman
that
was
diseased
with
the
bloudy
Issue
,
was
healed
by
touching
the
Hem
of
our
Saviour's
Garment
;
which
Woman
,
in
token
of
thankfulness
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
she
caused
to
be
set
the
Image
of
Christ
made
of
Brass
;
and
behind
that
stood
the
Image
of
this
Woman
,
who
had
been
diseased
twelve
years
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
years
after
it
was
set
up
.
But
Iulian
the
Apostate
having
intelligence
of
these
things
,
caused
those
Images
to
be
broken
down
,
and
erected
his
own
in
the
same
place
.
But
soon
after
,
there
happened
such
an
exceeding
Thunder
,
that
fire
falling
from
Heaven
,
strook
this
Image
,
thus
set
up
by
this
cruel
Tyrant
,
upon
the
Breast
,
and
cast
the
Head
and
the
Neck
thereof
with
great
violence
upon
the
Earth
.
These
things
happened
in
Caesarea
Philippi
.
Upon
the
Borders
of
Caesarea
Philippi
our
Saviour
Christ
asked
his
Disciples
,
saying
,

do
men
say
that
I
am

Agrippa
King
of

did
much
inlarge
Caesarea
Philippi
,
in
honour
of
Nero
,
and
called
it
after
his
name
Neromia
,
but
it
retained
not
that
name
long
.
Of
Peraea
.
PEraea
,
or
Peraia
,
was
the
utmost
part
of
the
Holy
Land
,
in
which
were
the
Tribes
Gad
and
Reuben
,
separated
from
the
rest
of
Iudea
by
the
River
Iordan
,
and
under
the
Subjection
and
Government
of
Herod
Antipas
.
It
was
sixteen
miles
from
Ierusalem
Eastward
,
so
called
of
Peran
,
which
signifies
beyond
,
or
upon
the
other
side

In

Castle
of

,
standing
in
this
Country
,
Iohn

was
beheaded
.
Of
the
Sea
of
Galilee
.
THIS
Sea
lay
forty
four
miles
from
Ierusalem
,
Northward
,
representing
upon
the
Banks
a
Harp
in
figure
;
whence
it
was
called
Kinnaereth
,
that
is
,
the
Sea
of
the
Harp
,
Num.

for
Kinnor
signifieth
an
Harp
.
Toward
the
North
it
extendeth
it self
into
some
bredth
,
but
toward
the
South
it
drew
into
a
streight
Angle
,
and
was
called
the
Sea
of
Galilee
,
because
it
bordered
upon
Galilee
.
It
was
also
called
the
Lake
of
Genesareth
,
because
of
the
pleasantness
and
fruitfulness
of
the
Soil
lying
upon
the
North
side
of
it
.
It
is
called
(
Ioh.
6.
)
the
Sea
of
Tiberias
,
from
the
City
Tiberias
that
stood
upon
the
shore
of
it
.
It
was
but
four
miles
and
a
little
more
broad
,
but
in
length
,
from
the
North
to
the
South
,
twelve
miles
.
Upon
the
East
side
it
had
the
Town
Chorazin
,
and
upon
the
West
Capernaum
;
and
(
as
Iosephus
saith
)
the
Water
of
this
Sea
was
very
sweet
and
pleasant
;
from
whence
it
came
to
pass
that
Fishes
did
greatly
abound
in
it
,
and
there
were
many
Fishers
that
lived
thereabouts
only
by
fishing
in
that
Sea
.
There
were
many
other
Cities
besides
those
two
before
mentioned
,
that
stood
upon
this
Sea
;
as
Bethsaida
,
Migdala
,
Tiberias
,
and
Trichaea
;
these
stood
upon
the
West
.
Upon
the
East
stood
Iulia
and
Cadara
.
Of
the
holy
Mountain
near
Capernaum
in
Galilee
.
ABout
a
mile
from
Capernaum
,
toward
the
South-west
,
is
to
be
seen
an
exceeding
high
Hill
,
standing
upon
the
shore
of
the
Sea
of
Galilee
,
beautified
with
many
Herbs
and
Flowers
of
divers
kinds
,
being
very
fruitful
and
pleasant
,
extending
it self
in
length
almost
two
Bows
shoot
,
and
in
breadth
one
.
From
this
Hill
one
might
have
seen
the
whole
Sea
of
Galilee
,
the
Countries
of
I●ura
and
Trachonitis
,
even
to
Mount
Libanus
,
also
the
Mountains
Sanir
and
Hermon
,
and
a
great
part
of
the
upper
and
lower
Galilee
.
Here
also
the
Inhabitants
of
the
Holy
Land
shew
a
certain
Stone
,
on
which
they
say
our
Saviour
Christ
did
usually
sit
when
he
preached
to
the
People
;
which
Stone
the
Christians
call
the
Table
:
here
was
that
Sermon
made
of
the
eight
Beatitudes

And
our
Saviour
Christ
descending
from
this
Mountain
,
in
the
Suburbs
of
the
City
of
Capernaum
healed
a
Man
that
was
infected
with
the
Leprosie
.
About
thirty
Paces
from
the
foot
of
this
Hill
there
ariseth
a
Fountain
,
which
is
compassed
about
with
a
Wall
,
and
is
thought
to
be
a
Vein
of
Nilus
,
because
they
find
in
it
such
kind
of
fishes
,
the
like
wherof
are
not
to
be
found
in
any
other
place
but
Nilus
,
Iosephus
calleth
this
Spring
Capernaum
,
and
likewise
all
the
plain
(
being
very
pleasant
and
fruitful
for
the
space
of
a
mile
,
even
unto
Iordan
)
after
the
same
name
,
because
it
is
subiect
to
the
Jurisdiction
of
that
City
.
About
20
paces
from
this
wall
,
on
the
shore
of
the
Sea
of
Galilee
,
there
is
shewn
a
place
where
they
say
Christ
appeared
to
his
seven
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
Saviours
Disciples
came
to
Land
,
and
they
drew
up
in
their
nets
a
great
draught
of
fishes
,
&c.
John

Of
Naim
.
NAim
signifies
fruitful
and
pleasant
:
it
stood
48
miles
from
Jerusalem
towards
the
North
;
and
typically
representeth
the
condition
of
the
World
.
For
the
Children
of
this
World
live
in
all
manner
of
Pleasures
and
Delights
,
never
thinking
of
any
sorrow
till
Death
seiseth
on
them
;
but
then
that
overturns
all
,
and
those
delights
become
loathsome
unto
them
.
Notwithstanding
this
one
comfort
we
have
left
us
,
Hope
in
Christ
Jesus
;
who
as
he
raised
the
Widows
Son
(
at
the
gates
of
this
City
)
from
Death
to
Life
▪
will
by
his
mighty
Power
raise
us
again
at
the
last
day
,
from
the
Bowels
of
the
Earth
and
make
us
partakers
with
him
of
an
heavenly
habitation
.
It
stood
in
the
Land
of
Samaria
;
and
in
the
tribe
of
Issachar
,
about
two
miles
off
it
,
upon
the
East
side
,
stood
mount
Tabor
;
and
a
little
from
it
,
upon
the
South
side
,
stood
mount
Hermon
the
lesser
;
and
extended
it self
thence
unto
the
Sea
of
Galilee
,
16
miles
.
Of
these
two
Hills

may
read

S.
Jerom
saith
,
in
his
time
(
that
is
,
400
years
after
Christ
)
this
was
a
very
fair
City
,
and
stood
in
a
very
high
Mountain
,
upon
the
East
side
of
the
Sea
of
Galilee
beyond
Jordan
,
in
the
half
tribe
of
Manasses
,
some
48
miles
from
Ierusalem
Northward
,
and
is
to
be
seen
at
this
day

Strabo

saith
,
that
close
by
Gadara
there
is
a
venomous
lake
,
whereof
what
Beast
soever
drinketh
,
he
immediately
loseth
his
Horns
,
his
Hoofs
,
and
his
Hair
;
and
there
are
many
that
think
this
Lake
became
thus
venomous
,
because
of
the
2000
Swine
that
were
drowned
in
it
,
when
our
Saviour
suffered
the
Devils
to
enter
into
them

THIS
was
a
Country
bordering

from
whence
this
Sea
was
called
the
Lake

This
Land
was
very

it
had
been
a

and
therefore
,
not
without
cause
,
was
it
called
the
Garden
of
a
Prince
;
being
derived
of
Gan
,
which
signifies

The
chief
Cities

Saviour
Christ

thirtieth
year

his
age
.
FROM
Ierusalem
,
our
Saviour
Christ
returned
,
some
six
and
fifty
miles
,
into
Galilee
,
and
in
the
beginning
of
this
year
wintered
in
that
place
:
so
that
(
as
it
may
be
gathered
out
of
the
Evangelists
)
he
continued
there
the
most
part
of
Ianuary
and
February
,
and
now
the
Spring
approching
,
a
little
after
the
death
of
Saint
Iohn
the
Baptist
,
(
who
as
it
is
thought
,
was
put
to
death
between
the
midst
of
Winter
and
the
Spring
,
not
long
before
the
Feast
of
the
Passover
;
so
that
he
lived
two
years
and
a
half
in
his
Ministry
)
he
wrought
many
notable
Miracles
,
not
far
from
the
City
of
Bethsaida
.
The
same
time
,
the
Feast
of
the
Passover
drawing
near
,
(
which
was
the
third
Passover
of

ministry
)
he
went
thence
over

,
hearing
of
the
miserable
death
of
Iohn
the
Baptist
,
about
the
beginning
of
the
month
of
April
,
returned
with
all
possible
speed
out
of

Our

therefore
having
by

means
certain
intelligence
,
as
he
was
between
Bethsaida
and

,
of
the
death
of
S.
Iohn
Baptist
,
in
the
month
of

he
went
into
a
Ship
,
and
passed
about
four
miles
to
the
further
side
of
the
Sea
of
Galilee
,
where
,
in
a
certain
Desart
,
he
sed
five
thousand
men
with
five

and
two
fishes
,

From
thence
he
returned
back
again
to
the
Sea
,
and
so
to
Capernaum
,

was

:
here
he
made

From

,
being
the
third
Passeover
of

.
The
third
Passover
of
the
Ministry
of

.
Upon
the
thirteenth
day
of
April
,
being
Sunday
,
according
to
the
Ecclesiastical
computation
,
Christ
(
as
God
commanded
)
celebrated
the
third
Passover
of

ministry
for
the
space
of
eight
days
in
the
City
of
Ierusalem
,
that
is
,
till
the
twentieth
day
of
the
same
month
.
After
the
Feast
of
the
Passeover
,
the
Iews
took
counsel
how
they
might
put
him
to
death
,
Ioh.

wherefore
,
about
the
end
of
April
,
he
departed
thence
,
and
went
56
miles
into
the
Land
of
Galilee
.
In
the
month
of
May
,
after
the
controversie
that
happened
concerning
the
Tradition
of

Elders
(
because
of
the
fallacies

the
Scribes

)
he
departed
thence
into
the
borders
of
Tyrus
and
Sidon
,
which
was
56
miles
,
Matth.
15.
and
there
entred
into
a
house
,
and
would
fain
have
been
private
;
but
there
was
a
certain
Woman
that
was
a
Grecian
of
Syrophoenissa
,
came
unto
him
,
and
intreated
his
aid
,
Mark
7.
But
our
Saviour
,
having
a
determination
to
depart
from
this
place
,
this
Woman
was
very
importunate
that
he
would
dispossess
her
Daughter
of
a
Devil
;
which
(
because
of
her
importunity
)
he
did
,
Mat.
15.
And
after
he
went
thence
into
the
Country
of
Trachonitis
,
beyond
Iordan
,
going
through
the
borders
of
Decapolis
,
and
coming
to
the
Galilean
Sea
,
and
in
the
way
he
healed
one
that
was
both
blind
and
dumb
,
Mark
7.
and
there
,
ascending
up
into
a
Mountain
,
he
cured
many
that
were
blind
and
lame
,
and
the
third
day
after
fed
four
thousand
with
seven
loaves
and
a
few
fishes
,
Mat.
15.
So
this
Journey
was
64
miles
.
Afterward
,
in
the
same
month
of
May
,
he
went
into
a
Ship
,
and
passed
thence
into
the
parts
of
Dalmatia
,
and
upon
the
borders
of
Magdala
,
which
was
four
miles
,
he
propounded
the
sign
of
the
Prophet
Ionah
to
the
Pharisees
and
Sadducees
,
Mat.
15.
&
16.
From
thence
he
sailed
to
Bethsaida
,
which
was
four
miles
,
and
by
the
way
he
admonished
his
Disciples
to
take
heed
of
the
leaven
of
the
Sadducees
and
Pharisees
,
Mat.
16.
and
as
he
was
entring
into
a
Town
,
he
cured
a
blind
man
of
his
sight
,
Mark
8.
About
the
end
of
the
month
of
May
,
Christ
went
to
Ierusalem
,
which
was
56
miles
,
where
,
upon
the
second
day
of
Iune
,
he
kept
the
Feast
of
Pentecost
,
according
as
God
had
commanded
,
Exod.
23.
The
Feast
of
Pentecost
being
ended
,
he
returned
from
Ierusalem
into
the
Country
of
Galilee
to
Capernaum
,
where
he
dwelt
,
which
was
56
miles
.
In
the
same
month
of
Iune
,
he
went
the
second
time
unto
the
borders
of
the
Gentiles
,
where
Peter
,
in
the
name
of
all
the
Disciples
,
upon
the
confines
of
Caesarea
Philippi
,
made
that
notable
confession
,
saying
,
Thou
art
Christ
the
Son
of
the
living
God
,
Luk.
9.
Capernaum
is
distant
from
Caesarea
Philippi
,
48
miles
.
Six
,
or
(
as
Luke
saith
)
eight
days
after
,
our
Saviour
in
the
month
of
Iune
went
to
the
mountain
Thabor
,
which
stood
48
miles
from
Caesarea
Philippi
towards
the
Southwest
,
where
he
was
transfigured
;
and
the
next
day
after
he
cured
the
Lunatick
,
and
cast
out
a
Devil
,
Mat.
7.
Mark
9.
In
the
month
of
Iuly
,
Christ
walked
into
Galilee
,
and
there
confirmed
his
Doctrine
with
many
wonderful
miracles
,
which
did
greatly
amaze
his
Disciples
,
where
he
put
them
in
mind
of
the
Cross
and
of
his
Death
,
Mat.
17.
Luke
9.
From
thence
he
returned
to
Capernaum
,
which
was
ten
miles
from
mount
Thabor
:
at
this
time
Peter
went
to
the
Lake
of
Genesareth
,
and
there
caught
a
fish
,
in
whose
mouth
he
found
a
Stater
,
which
was
worth
2
s.
6
d.
in
our
money
,
Mat.
17.
Here
also
our
Saviour
Christ
made
a
long
Sermon
,
wherein
he
reprehended
the
pride
and
arrogancy
of
his
Disciples
,
and
withal
taught
the
doctrine
of
the
Remission
of
sins
,
Mat.
12.
Mark
Luke
9.
In
the
month
of
August
,
he
had
a
full
determination
to
make
a
Journey
through
Samaria
into
Iudea
,
and
so
by
little
and
little
(
visiting
the
Churches
as
he
went
)
to
go
to
Ierusalem
to
the
feast
of
the
Tabernacles
,
Iohn
7.
but
when
he
came
to
Samaria
,
which
was
ten
miles
from
Capernaum
,
the
Samaritans
would
not
receive
him
,
because
he
made
as
though
he
would
go
to
Ierusalem
;
wherefore
he
turned
aside
into
Galilee
,
Luke
9.
And
as
he
was
there
visiting
the
Churches
,
there
came
a
certain
man
unto
him
,
saying
,
I
will
follow
thee
whither
soever
thou
goest
.
But
Christ
answered
him
,
saying
,
The
Foxes
have
holes
,
and
the
Fowls
of
the
heavens
have
nests
,
but
the
Son
of
man
hath
not
where
to
hide
his
head
,
Matth.
8.
And
to
another
Jesus
said
,
Follow
thou
me
.
But
he
answered
,
Let
me
first
go
and
bury
my
father
.
There
was
another
also
that
would
have
followed
Christ
,
but
he
would
first
go
take
his
leave
of
his
friends
,
Luke
9.
In
the
month
of
September
,
about
the
time
of
the
second
harvest
,
which
was
next
before
the
feast
of
the
Tabernacles
,
Lev.
23.
Christ
began
his
last
visitation
throughout
all
the
Land
of
Iudea
;
at
which
time
he
sent
forth
seventy
of
his
disciples
into
Galilee
,
to
prepare
the
way
,
and
so
dispersed
Labourers
into
his
harvest
;
saying
,
The
harvest
is
great
,
but
the
labourers
are
few
,
Luk.
10.
This
Speech
seems
to
be
taken
from
the
present
condition
of
the
time
:
for
it
was
now
harvest
time
,
it
being
a
little
before
the
Vernal
Aequinoctial
.
About
the
beginning
of
October
,
when
the
feast
of
the
Tabernacles
drew
near
,
the
Disciples
and
those
that
were
of
the
kindred
of
our
Saviour
according
to
the
flesh
,
went
up
to
the
Feast
,
but
he
remained
in
Galilee
,
notwithstanding
a
little
after
he
went
privily
up
:
now
between
Galilee
and
Ierusalem
were
accounted
56
miles
,
Ioh.
7.
Upon
the
ninth
day
of
October
was
this
Feast
celebrated
in
Ierusalem
,
and
being
now
half
past
,
our
Saviour
Christ
taught
publickly
in
the
Temple
,
Ioh.
7.
Upon
the
fifteenth
day
of
October
(
it
being
the
last
day
of
the
Feast
of
the
Tabernacles
,
and
the
Sabbath
day
)
he
taught
the
second
time
publickly
in
the
Temple
,
and
so
continued
preaching
and
doing
miracles
in
Ierusalem
until
the
Feast
of
the
Dedication
,
which
was
kept
about
the
middle
of
Winter
,
Matth.
4.
In
the
month
of
November
,
he
preached
daily
in
the
Temple
,
and
at
night
went
to
the
Mount
of
Olives
,
where
he
rested
,
which
was
about
half
a
mile
from
Ierusalem
,
and
every
morning
returned
back
to
the
Temple
.
At
this
time
there
came
unto
him
certain
Scribes
and
Pharisees
,
who
brought
a
Woman
which
had
been
lately
taken
in
Adultery
,
and
said
unto
him
,
Master
,
what
shall
we
do
with
this
Woman
,
&c.
And
he
answered
,
He
among
you
that
is
without
sin
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
Saviour
and
the
Jews
,
Ioh.
8.
for
which
cause
they
would
have
stoned
him
.
In
the
month
of
December
,
Christ
wintered
in
Ierusalem
,
and
recited
the
Parable
of
the
Sheep
,
Ioh.
10.
Also
upon
the
Sabbath
day
,
a
little
before
the
Feast
of
the
Dedication
,
he
healed
a
man
that
was
born
blind
,
Ioh.
9.
In
this
feast
the
Jews
(
being
angry
because
he
had
healed
the
blind
man
upon
the
Sabbath
day
)
compassed
our
Saviour
about
as
he
was
in
Solomon's
Porch
;
and
when
they
heard
our
Saviour
confess
openly
,
that
he
was
the
Son
of
God
,
they
began
to
grow
into
a
fury
,
and
for
very
anger
would
have
stoned
him
to
death
.
Wherefore
our
Saviour
Christ
went
thence
beyond
Iordan
,
and
continued
there
the
rest
of
the
Winter
,
Iohn
10.
But
before
he
went
to
Ierusalem
,
there
were
returned
unto
him
certain
of
the
seventy
Disciples
,
which
a
little
before
(
in
the
month
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
Thieves
.
This
similitude
seemeth
to
be
taken
from
the
present
occasion
,
because
our
Saviour
Christ
going
from
Ierusalem
beyond
Iordan
,
was
to
pass
through
great
wildernesses
just
in
the
way
as
they
go
thence
to
Iericho
,
Joh.
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
unto
him
,
but
Mary
sitting
at
his
feet
gave
diligent
heed
to
his
Doctrine
,
Luke
10.
At
this
time
he
took
his
leave
of
these
two
Sisters
,
and
went
thence
to
Bethabara
,
beyond
Iordan
,
where
Iohn
baptized
,
which
was
sixteen
miles
,
it
being
now
about
the
midst
of
Winter
,
Christ
at
this
time
being
about
thirty
three
years
of
age
.
I
am
not
ignorant
that
there
were
many
which
refer
that
long
Journey
of
our
Saviour
Christ
,
when
he
went
to
visit
all
Iudaea
,
the
sending
forth
of
his
Disciples
,
and
divers
other
Miracles
mentioned
from
the
ninth
Chapter
of
Luke
to
the
sixteenth
,
to
the
beginning
of
the
following
year
.
But
I
am
of
opinion
that
all
those
things
could
not
have
been
done
within
the
compass
of
four
Months
,
and
before
the
Feast
of
the
Dedication
:
so
that
it
must
needs
be
that
the
seventy
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
Months
between
it
and
the
raising
up
of
Lazarus
,
in
which
short
time
all
those
things
which
are
described
by
Luke
,
could
not
possibly
be
accomplished
;
especially
considering
that
our
Saviour
Christ
wintered
some
time
in
Bethabara
,
and
there
taught
the
multitude
that
came
unto
him
,
Ioh.
2.
So
these
Travels
of
our
Saviour
were
five
hundred
ninety
six
miles
,
or
thereabouts
,
besides
the
divers
Visitations
and
Journeys
he
went
hither
and
thither
:
which
,
because
of
the
great
multitude
of
them
,
it
was
not
possible
for
the
Evangelist
to
set
them
down
.
Of
the
Towns
and
places
to
which
he
travelled
.
Of
Bethsaida
.
BEthsaida
,
signifies
the
house
of
hunting
:
being
derived
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
thorough
the
World
,
Ierem.
16.
In
this
Town
dwelt
three
Apostles
,
Peter
,
Andrew
,
and
Philip
,
Iohn
1.
It
was
scituated
upon
the
West
side
of
the
Galilean
Sea
;
in
the
Tribe
of
Issachar
,
fifty
six
miles
from
Ierusalem
toward
the
North.
And
because
of
the
abundance
of
Fishes
that
were
in
the
Sea
of
Galilee
,
Peter
and
Andrew
became
Fishers
,
and
in
that
Vocation
got
their
living
,
till
our
Lord
and
Saviour
Christ
made
them
Fishers
of
Men
,
Mat.
4.
Luke
5.
Before
the
Birth
of
Christ
this
was
but
a
small
Town
,
and
without
doubt
was
so
called
from
hunting
;
because
close
by
it
stood
a
Wilderness
that
did
greatly
abound
with
wild
Beasts
.
Philip
,
the
Terrarch
of
Traconitis
and
Itura
,
made
this
a
fair
City
,
which
,
in
honour
of
Iulia
,
he
called
Iuliades
.
This
Iulia
was
the
Daughter
of
Augustus
Caesar
,
and
Wife
of
Tiberias
.
Philip
also
brought
many
Inhabitants
thither
,
who
dwelt
in
that
City
.
But
when
Herod
(
the
Tetrarch
of
Galilee
,
and
Brother
of
this
Philip
)
had
builded
up
Bethabara
,
(
which
stood
beyond
the
River
Iordan
on
the
East
side
of
the
Sea
of
Galilee
)
and
called
it
by
the
name
of
Iuliades
,
in
honour
of
this
Iulia.
This
Town
,
re-edified
and
inlarged
by
Philip
,
was
called
again
in
the
time
of
our
blessed
Lord
and
Saviour
Christ
,
after
the
ancient
name
Bethsaida
,
and
so
continueth
to
this
day
.
From
hence
it
is
manifest
,
that
the
Sea
of
Galilee
was
subject
to
the
Government
of
both
these
Tetrarchs
,
since
upon
the
shore
thereof
on
both
sides
they
had
Cities
standing
.
I
do
think
the
Wilderness
or
Wood
and
●and
near
adjoyning
to
Bethsaida
,
is
called
Itura
,
of
Ietur
the
Son
of
Ismael
,
Gen.
25.
or
else
from
the
compass
and
roundness
of
it
;
for
Tur
in
Hebrew
signifies
,
a
circle
.
But
that
Itura
stood
upon
the
West
side
of
the
Sea
of
Galilee
,
those
that
have
been
at
the
Holy
Land
can
testifie
.
This
City
of
Bethsaida
hath
an
ancient
Water-course
coming
from
a
River
not
far
from
it
,
which
Iosephus
calleth
little
Iordan
,
which
falleth
into
the
Sea
of
Galilee
,
just
in
the
mid-way
between
this
Town
and
Capernaum
,
the
Channel
whereof
appeareth
to
this
day
.
Beside
the
many
Sermons
which
our
Saviour
Christ
preached
here
,
he
did
many
notable
miracles
,
Mark
8.
&c.
But
for
the
ingratitude
and
impiety
of
the
Citizens
,
the
curse
of
our
Saviour
fell
upon
them
,
Wo
be
to
thee
Chorazin
,
wo
be
to
thee
Bethsaida
:
for
if
the
miracles
had
been
done
in
Tyrus
and
Sidon
,
which
have
been
done
in
thee
,
they
had
long
e're
this
repented
in
sackcloth
and
ashes
:
Verily
,
verily
,
I
say
unto
you
,
it
shall
be
easier
for
Tyrus
and
Sidon
in
the
day
of
Iudgment
,
than
for
you
,
Mat.
11.
Luk.
10.
The
prophecie
of
our
Saviour
Christ
fell
upon
them
accordingly
;
for
,
after
divers
and
sundry
overthrows
and
devastations
,
this
Town
became
utterly
unpeopled
,
and
as
Britenbacchus
saith
,
there
are
scarce
six
houses
standing
in
it
at
this
day
.
Of
Chorazin
.
THis
City
also
stands
upon
the
further
side
of
Iordan
,
close
by
the
Sea
of
Galilee
,
in
the
same
Country
as
Capernaum
stands
:
for
the
City
of
Chorazin
standeth
upon
the
East
side
of
the
River
Iordan
,
where
it
falleth
into
the
Sea
of
Galilee
;
and
Capernaum
upon
the
West
,
in
the
half
Tribe
of
Manasses
,
some
16
miles
from
the
City
of
Ierusalem
towards
the
North.
This
City
also
neglecting
the
preachings
and
miracles
of
our
Saviour
Christ
,
felt
the
efficacy
and
force
of
the
curse
of
the
Son
of
God
,
Mat.

For
there
is
not
at
this

a

only
some

stood
.
Chorazin
doth
denote
a

.
Of
Tiberias
.
TIberias
standeth
upon
the
West
side
of
the
Sea
of
Galilee
,
48
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
North.
Before
the
Birth
of
Christ
it
was
cal-called
Kinnereth
,
that
is
,
the
City
of
the
Harp
;
after
which
name
the
Lake
of
Tiberias
,
or
the
Sea
of
Galilee
,
is
called
,
Numb
14.
But
Herod
the
Te●rarch
of
Galilee
(
at
whose
command
Iohn
the
Baptist
was
beheaded
)
did
beautifie
this
City
with
many
fair
Buildings
,
and
compassed
it
about
with
strong
Walls
,
and
after
Tiberias
Caesar's
name
,
called
it
Tiberias
.
He
also
gathered
thither
many
Inhabitants
,
and
endowed
it
with
many
large
Priviledges
:
for
although
this
place
before
the
restoring
of
the
City
was
very
filthy
and
impure
,
by
reason
of
the
dead
Bodies
both
of
Men
and
Beasts
,
which
lay
in
that
place
,
(
from
whence
it
happened
that
the
Iewes
shunned
this
place
as
utterly
unlawful
,
and
durst
not
dwell
there
)
yet
notwithstanding
,
Herod
,
with
singular
Industry
and
Diligence
,
removed
all
that
filthiness
,
and
in
that
very
place
built
up
this
City
both
fair
and
spacious
;
partly
with
Gifts
,
partly
with
fair
Speeches
,
alluring
many
Iews
to
inhabit
therein
.
Many
poor
People
also
built
themselves
houses
at
their
own
charge
,
and
those
that
had
no
Children
,
gave
way
unto
the
liberty
of
the
City
;
besides
,
many
rich
and
noble
men
were
constrained
to
remove
their
whole
Families
,
and
to
dwell
in
this
City
,
so
that
in
short
time
it
became
very
well
peopled
,
according
to
Ios.

Not
above
two
miles
from
Tiberias
,
towards
the
South
,
upon
the
shore
of
the
Sea
of
Galilee
,
stood
Tarachaea
,
a
Town
wherein
Iosephus
dwelt
.
Now
it
happened
that
the
Citizens
of
Tiberias
,
upon
some
discontent
,
and
as
it
was
thought
,
at
the
instigation
of
one
Clitus
,
fell
into
Rebellion
;
of
which
Iosephus
having
certain
intelligence
,
he
caused
all
the
Gates
of
Terachaea
to
be
shut
,
lest
any
man
going
thence
should
disclose
his
intentions
,
or
any
coming
from
Tiberias
,
should
move
that
City
also
to
Rebellion
;
and
then
privily
sent
out
a
command
to
assemble
all
the
Ships
and
other
Vessels
that
were
upon
the
Sea
or
Lake
,
even
to
the
number
of
230
Ships
;
all
which
he
caused
to
be
manned
only
with
four
men
apiece
,
and
of
a
sudden
sailed
towards
Tiberias
.
But
when
he
came
within
view
of
the
City
,
so
that
the
Citizens
from
the
Wall
might
discern
the
Ships
,
he
lest
the
Body
of
the
Navy
a
good
way
remote
from
Tiberias
,
and
took
only
one
Ship
,
manned
with
seven
men
,
and
went
close
to
the
City
of
Tiberias
,
as
it
seemed
,
to
have
had
a
parly
with
the
Citizens
:
but
they
seeing
such
a
multitude
of
Ships
,
and
the
bold
resolution
of
Iosephus
,
supposing
that
they
had
been
sufficiently
manned
,
and
contained
a
great
Army
,
were
greatly
afraid
,
insomuch
that
they
cast
away
their
Arms
,
and
came
out
of
the
City
with
humble
Petitions
to
Iosephus
,
intreating
him
to
spare
the
City
,
and
to
take
pity
on
the
Inhabitants
.
Notwithstanding
he
utterly
refused
to
shew
them
any
mercy
,
unless
they
would
deliver
unto
him
the
Ruler
of
the
City
,
which
they
did
,
so
he
settled
the
Affairs
of
that
Town
,
and
took
the
Ruler
thereof
with
him
to
Terachaea
,
where
he
committed
him
to
Prison
.
But
after
,
it
being
certainly
found
out
that
one
Clitus
was
the
principal
Author
of
this
Rebellion
,
he
sent
Leuyn
one
of
his
Guard
,
with
command
to
apprehend
him
,
and
cut
off
both
his
Hands
:
of
which
punishment
Clytus
being
certainly
informed
,
with
tears
and
prayers
humbly
besought
this
Leuyn
that
he
would
spare
one
of
his
hands
,
and
he
would
willingly
lose
the
other
;
which
with
much
ado
was
granted
him
,
upon
condition
that
he
would
cut
off
his
own
Hand
:
so
he
took
his
Sword
and
cut
off
his
left
Hand
;
which
being
done
,
Iosephus
returned
the
Captives
to
Tiberias
,
and
received
the
Inhabitants
again
into
favour
,
and
ever
after
retained
it
in
obedience
.
Vespasian
also
invaded
this
City
at
such
time
as
he
undertook
his
Expedition
against
Ierusalem
,
as
it
appeareth
in
Iosephus
lib.
de
bello
Iud.
cap.
16.
but
the
Inhabitants
fearing
his
greatness
,
willingly
submitted
themselves
to
his
power
,
and
opened
him
the
Gates
,
going
forth
of
the
City
to
me●t
him
with
great
humility
,
giving
him
and
his
whole
Army
entertainment
into
the
City
,
receiving
him
with
Musick
and
Songs
,
and
with
great
Acclamations
and
shouts
;
calling
him
their
Saviour
and
Protector
:
which
kind
of
Courtesies
the
Emperour
took
very
lovingly
,
and
in
token
of
thankfulness
for
this
kindness
,
he
commanded
his
Souldiers
(
after
they
had
broken
down
a
great
part
of
the
Wall
upon
the
South
side
)
that
they
should
abstain
from
all
manner
of
Rapin
and
Violence
;
so
that
he
continued
there
peaceably
,
and
went
away
peaceably
.
This
City
to
this
day
(
as
Borchardus
the
Monk
saith
)
is
a
fair
Town
,
scituated
to
the
Longitude
,
upon
the
shore
of
the
said
Sea
,
there
being
upon
the
South
side
many
wholesom
Baths
and
Springs
;
and
there
are
to
be
seen
also
many
great
ruins
of
decayed
Buildings
.
The
Land
also
round
about
is
very
pleasant
and
fertil
,
abounding
with
Palm
Trees
,
Vines
,
Olives
,
and
Figs.
This
City
in
antient
time
was
scituated
in
the
Tribe
of
Issa●har
.
Of
Tyrus
or
Zor
.
THIS
was
the
chief
City
of
Phoenicia
,
distant
from
Ierusalem
100
miles
towards
the
North.
It
was
first
built
by
the
Citizens
of
Zidon
,
(
because
of
a
Sedition
that
happened
in
that
City
)
240
years
before
the
Temple
of
Solomon
,
as
Iosephus
saith
,
just
in
the
place
where
at
this
day
the
ruins
of
antient
Tyre
are
to
be
seen
.
But
after
it
began
to
grow
famous
(
which
was
about
such
time
as
Troy
was
destroyed
)
King
Angenor
removed
it
to
a
Rock
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
fairly
scituated
for
the
entertainment
of
Ships
;
for
which
purpose
,
on
every
side
there
were
many
sa●e
Havens
and
Harbours
made
.
It
was
but
a
small
Town
,
almost
three
miles
about
,
and
two
miles
wide
:
yet
the
great
Mart
Town
in
those
Parts
,
for
Merchants
resorted
thither
from
all
the
three
Parts
of
the
World
(
Europe
,
Asia
,
and
Africa
)
as
well
for
the
uttering
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
;
upon
which
Continent
they
had
obtained
a
portion
of
Land
for
the
maintenance
of
the
City
,
containing
19000
paces
in
compass
.
The
Citizens
also
being
greatly
inriched
,
because
of
their
traffick
,
built
up
many
fair
Cities
and
Towns
in
more
remote
parts
,
which
was
added
to
their
jurisdiction
,
as
Leptis
,
Vtica
,
and
Carthage
,
scituated
in
Africa
.
They
also
built
Cades
,
which
at
this
day
is
called
Caliz
,
as
Pliny
saith
,
lib.
5.
cap.
19.
being
scituated
in
a
very
fair
Island
in
the
Mediterranean
Sea
,
not
far
from
Hercules
Pillars
;
insomuch
as
the
Citizens
of
this
Town
having
thus
inlarged
their
command
,
and
increased
their
substance
;
in
every
place
they
called
themselves
Princes
,
and
took
upon
them
to
wear
Scarlet
and
Purple
,
which
colours
in
that
place
above
all
other
colours
,
were
most
artificially
died
:
And
because
of
the
rarity
of
them
,
transported
thence
into
many
Countries
more
remote
.
But
because
of
their
extreme
arrogance
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
war
upon
this
City
,
was
,
because
the
Citizens
upon
a
time
sending
unto
him
certain
Ambassadors
with
a
Crown
of
Gold
,
in
token
of
friendship
,
and
to
congratulate
his
Prosperity
(
which
he
accepted
very
kindly
,
and
gave
them
Royal
entertainment
,
as
to
his
Friends
)
amongst
other
things
,
he
told
them
,
that
he
would
come
unto
their
City
,
and
do
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
he
was
commanded
by
an
Oracle
so
to
do
.
)
But
the
Ambassadors
of
Tyre
answered
,
that
the
Temple
of
Hercules
stood
without
the
City
in
Paaetzton
,
where
ancient
Tyre
stood
;
so
that
the
King
might
easily
come
thither
to
do
sacrifice
;
but
Alexander
hearing
these
words
,
could
not
contain
himself
,
but
in
a
great
anger
answered
,
And
do
ye
proud
Citizens
put
such
trust
in
the
strength
and
scituation
of
your
City
,
that
you
think
I
am
not
able
to
come
to
it
with
my
Army
by
Land
?
You
shall
well
perceive
within
this
short
space
,
that
you
are
scituated
upon
the
Continent
,
and
that
I
will
enter
it
and
sack
it
.
With
these
terrible
words
the
Ambassadors
departed
,
and
shortly
after
Alexander
followed
them
with
a
great
and
mighty
Army
.
But
when
it
was
known
that
Alexander
had
undertaken
the
sacking
of
this
City
,
there
were
many
that
thought
it
almost
impossible
for
him
to
accomplish
his
designs
;
first
,
because
of
the
inconstancy
of
the
Winds
,
and
the
vehemency
of
the
Water
,
whereby
all
such
matter
as
they
cast
into
the
Sea
to
joyn
it
to
the
Continent
,
would
be
driven
away
by
the
violence
of
the
Water
;
again
,
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
,
unless
it
were
by
Ships
.
Twice
Alexander
attempted
,
by
flinging
into
the
Sea
mighty
Trees
of
Libanus
,
and
heaps
of
the
ruins
of
ancient
Tyre
,
to
have
made
a
Bridge
to
it
,
or
else
joyn
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
extream
,
that
it
carried
away
all
things
with
it
,
and
oftentimes
broke
the
Ships
that
were
joyned
together
to
make
a
Bridge
,
and
drowned
the
Souldiers
that
besieged
and
fought
against
the
City
.
During
this
Siege
,
a
Citizen
of
Myrus
dreamt
that
their
Idol
Apollo
would
depart
from
them
;
whereupon
they
bound
the
Image
of
Apollo
with
a
Chain
of
Gold
,
unto
the
Pillar
whereon
he
stood
,
that
he
might
not
leave
them
.
There
happened
also
a
horrible
ostent
amongst
the
Macedonians
;
for
a
certain
Souldier
breaking
Bread
,
there
fell
from
it
some
few
drops
of
Bloud
;
at
the
hearing
of
which
accident
,
Alexander
was
greatly
amazed
,
until
he
was
resolved
by
one
Aristander
,
a
very
skilful
Prophet
,
that
if
it
issued
from
off
the
outside
of
the
Bread
,
it
had
betokened
a
heavy
event
to
the
Macedonians
;
but
in
regard
that
it
issued
from
the
inside
of
the
Bread
,
it
foreshewed
that
he
should
forthwith
conquer
the
Town
he
had
so
long
besieged
;
and
so
it
happened
:
for
when
Alexander
had
besieged
the
City
for
the
space
of
seven
months
,
with
great
difficulty
he
won
it
:
but
before
he
could
win
it
,
he
was
constrained
to
use
a
great
multitude
of
Ships
,
and
fasten
them
together
with
iron
bands
,
upon
which
placing
many
Engines
of
battery
,
and
other
offensive
instruments
,
what
with
the
moving
of
the
Ships
,
and
the
extream
Violence
of
the
battery
,
they
overcame
the
City
.
This
exploit
Alexander
performed
when
he
was
25
years
of
age
,
and
about
300
years
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
,
he
went
in
Person
,
with
his
Crown
upon
his
head
,
and
Princely
Armour
,
and
scaled
a
high
Tower
of
the
City
,
where
he
exprest
an
extraordinary
resolution
,
and
by
reason
of
his
courage
did
great
hurt
to
the
Enemy
,
who
perceiving
him
to
be
the
King
,
resorted
to
that
place
in
great
heaps
,
and
shot
at
him
with
all
their
might
;
but
he
manfully
defended
himself
,
and
compelled
the
enemy
to
fly
.
In
this
assault
there
were
6000
of
the
Inhabitants
slain
;
and
after
he
had
entred
the
Walls
and
sackt
the
City
,
he
caused
2000
to
be
tyed
to
crosses
and
thrown
into
the
Sea
.
From
whence
may
be
gathered
,
that
God
by
this
young
Prince
did
accomplish
this
great
Work
,
that
the
Prophecies
of
the
Prophets
,
Esay
23.
Ieremy
43.
and
Ezekiel
25
,
26.
might
be
fulfilled
.
Afterward
Alexander
(
as
Pliny
and
Strabo
observe
)
caused
the
Sea
to
be
filled
up
,
that
it
might
be
no
more
an
Island
,
and
joyned
it
to
the
Continent
;
upon
which
place
he
caused
Tyrus
to
be
rebuilded
,
and
compassed
it
about
with
a
Wall
five
and
twenty
foot
thick
,
strengthened
with
twelve
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
Saviour
Christ
was
a
fair
City
,
though
it
never
attained
to
the
former
dignity
and
Power
that
it
had
before
Alexander
conquered
it
.
The
ancient
City
of
Tyre
was
distant
from
this
City
about
four
miles
towards
the
South
.
Our
Saviour
Christ
being
in
the
borders
of
Tyrus
and
Sidon
,
helpt

Woman
of
Canaan
,
whose
Daughter
had
been
cruelly
tormented
with
a
Devil

In
the
time
of
Dioclesian
the
Emperour
,
there
were
many
Martyrs
put
to
death
in
this
City
:
And
at
this
time
it
is
called
by
the
name
of
El
porta
del
Zur
,
that
is
,
the
Haven
of
Zur
;
as
it
was
in
the
old
Testament
called
by
the
name
of
Zor
.
In
the
year
1100.
when
the
holy
Land
was
in
the
hands
of
the
Christians
,
there
was
an
Archbishop
of
Tyre
,
under
whose
Government
were
the
Bishops
of
Ptolomais
,
Sidon
,
and
Beryti
,
&c.
The
holy
man
Origen
lieth
buried
in
this
City
,
in
the
Church
of
the
holy
Sepulchre
,
which
is
compassed
about
and
fortified
with
a
mighty
strong
Wall
.
There
also
lies
buried
the
Emperour
Frederick
Barbarosso
,
who
died
Anno
1160
,
after
he
had
done
many
valiant
acts
,
and
sought
many
great
Battels
for
the
Christians
against
the
Turks
and
Saracens
,
being
overcome
by
Saphadinus
the
Sultans
Son
,
and
put
to
flight
,
was
drowned
in
the
River
of
Suro
,
to
the
great
grief
of
his
Army
;
but
he
left
behind
him
a
famous
report
.
Pope
Alexander
the
third
,
being
a
great
Enemy
to
this
Emperour
,
in
S.
Marys
Church
in
the
City
of
Venice
,
when
this
Prince
submitted
himself
to
his
Holiness
;
set
his
Foot
upon
his
neck
,
repeating
these
Words
,
Thou
shalt
tread
upon
the
Aspe
and
upon
the
Basilisk
,
&c.
Eusebius
,
in
his
Ecclesiastical
History
saith
,
that
there
are
yet
standing
in
Tyre
certain
Marble
Pillars
,
and
other
precious
Stones
,
of
wonderful
greatness
,
that
it
amazeth
such
as
behold
them
;
neer
to
which
there
have
been
many
Christians
and
Pilgrims
put
to
death
by
the
Saracens
.
There
are
also
four
Wells
of
wholsome
and
pleasant
Water
standing
not
far
from
it
.
Of
which
Wells
you
may
read
before
.
Of
Zidon
.
THIS
also
was
a
City
of
Phoenicia
,
scituated
upon
the
shore
of
the
Mediterranean
Sea
,
thirty
six
miles
from
Ierusalem
towa●d
the
North
,
and
sixteen
from
Tyrus
.
In
times
past
it
was
assigned
to
the
Tribe
of
Ashur
,
and
lay
upon
the
borders
of
the
Philistines
neer
to
Mount
Libanus
.
Being
called
Sidon
or
Zidon
,
of
Zidon
the
Son
of
Canaan
,
who
first
built
it
,
Gen.
10.
and
signifies
a
Hunter
.
It
was
a
notable
Mart
Town
,
wherein
much
Sattin
was
made
,
which
kind
of
stuff
was
very
precious
among
the
Iewes
:
and
it
is
said
that
Ioseph
of
Arimathia
wrapped
the
Body
of
our
Saviour
in
white
Satin
▪
for
in
Matthew
27.
it
is
called
Zadin
,
which
in
English
is
Sattin
.
And
as
at
this
day
the
finest
Glass
is
made
at
Venice
,
so
the
finest
Glass
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
read
before
.
This
Town
in
times
past
was
one
of
the
chief
Cities
of
Phoenicia
,
but
because
of
the
extraordinary
Pride
of
the
Citizens
,
God
afflicted
them
with
divers
punishments
,
and
brought
in
Ocho
King
of
the
Persians
,
who
besieged
it
,
and
by
Treason
won
it
,
and
burnt
it
to
the
ground
,
as
Diodorus
Siculus
,
lib.
16.
saith
.
The
Citizens
whereof
were
driven
to
such
streights
by
the
Enemy
,
that
there
perished
in
the
fire
above
forty
thousand
men
.
Within
a
while
after
,
Darius
,
the
last
Emperour
of
the
Persians
,
rebuilt
it
,
but
made
it
nothing
so
beautiful
,
neither
fortified
it
in
like
manner
as
it
was
before
:
he
ordained
one
Strato
to
be
King
thereof
,
a
man
proud
and
arrogant
.
After
,
about
three
hundred
and
two
years
before
the
Nativity
of
Christ
,
Alexander
being
then
but
twenty
four
years
of
age
,
having
overcome
Darius
,
that
mighty
Emperour
of
the
Persians
,
at
Issa
a
City
of
Cilicia
,
in
a
cruel
and
sharp
War
;
he
sent
Hephestion
,
one
of
his
Princes
,
to
the
Sidonians
,
with
authority
to
depose
Strato
,
and
to
let
the
Citizens
understand
that
they
should
chuse
him
for
their
King
,
whom
they
thought
most
worthy
of
that
honour
,
as
Quintus
Curtius
sheweth
,
lib.
4.
At
this
time
there
was
a
certain
young
man
among
the
followers
of
Hephestion
,
in
whose
behalf
he
moved
the
Citizens
that
he
might
be
their
King
;
but
they
refused
,
saying
,
it
was
not
their
custom
to
chuse
any
to
rule
over
them
,
but
such
as
were
of
the
King's
stock
and
Progeny
.
Hephestion
hearing
this
answer
,
greatly
admired
their
resolution
and
modesty
,
especially
when
they
refused
to
accept
him
for
their
King
,
whom
others
had
sought
to
obtain
with
Fire
and
Sword
;
saying
,
truly
there
is
more
required
to
rule
and
govern
a
Kingdom
,
than
to
get
it
;
but
yet
name
one
unto
me
of
Royal
descent
,
whom
you
would
willingly
receive
to
be
your
King
.
So
they
named
unto
him
one
Abdolomius
,
who
had
been
known
to
have
been
of
the
Kings
stock
,
by
many
descents
;
but
because
of
his
Poverty
he
was
constrained
to
dwell
in
the
Suburbs
of
the
City
in
a
Cottage
,
and
had
little
else
but
a
Garden
to
live
upon
.
This
man
howsoever
poor
,
and
because
of
that
,
of
many
contemned
;
yet
he
was
known
to
be
honest
,
and
of
an
upright
life
,
following
with
all
diligence
his
Vocation
,
without
any
regard
of
other
business
;
insomuch
as
he
was
utterly
ignorant
of
all
these
stirs
and
combustions
which
had
so
lately
vexed
Asia
.
As
he
was
now
in
his
Garden
,
digging
and
labouring
,
purging
it
of
Weeds
,
and
planting
of
Herbs
;
Hephestion
with
the
rest
of
the
Citizens
went
unto
him
,
and
brought
him
the
Robes
and
Habiliments
of
a
King
.
The
poor
Gardner
stood
amazed
to
see
such
a
Company
of
Gallants
come
unto
him
;
but
Hephestion
told
him
,
that
the
occasion
of
their
coming
was
to
make
a●
exchange
with
him
of
those
Royal
Ornaments
which
he
had
in
his
hand
,
for
those
poor
and
foul
Garments
which
he
wore
;
therefore
go
and
wash
thy self
and
return
.
So
he
did
,
where
immediately
they
put
upon
him
those
Royal
Robes
,
and
saluted
him
as
their
Sovereign
.
After
these
things
were
finished
,
quoth
Hephestion
,
Now
remember
in
what
a
state
thou
art
,
no
more
Gardener
but
a
King
;
and
therefore
take
unto
thee
the
mind
and
resolution
of
a
King
,
that
so
thou
mayest
rule
and
govern
this
City
as
a
man
worthy
of
that
honour
;
and
remember
,
that
although
the
Lives
and
Goods
of
thy
Subjects
are
at
thy
command
,
yet
by
them
thou
wast
chosen
,
neither
be
forgetful
of
him
that
was
the
Author
of
thine
Honour
.
No
sooner
was
he
enthronized
in
his
Kingdom
,
but
Fame
(
who
is
more
speedy
than
a
thousand
Posts
)
had
dispersed
this
News
through
all
the
neighbouring
Cities
:
some
being
thereby
moved
to
admiration
,
and
quickned
in
their
Studies
;
others
stirred
up
to
Indignation
and
Envy
.
Those
that
were
mighty
,
and
Friends
to
Alexander
,
contemned
and
despised
his
Humility
and
Poverty
;
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
he
had
well
viewed
the
Lineaments
and
Proportion
of
his
Person
,
and
could
not
perceive
it
any
whit
repugnant
to
the
fame
of
his
Birth
,
he
demanded
of
him
,
how
it
was
possible
that
he
should
endure
his
Poverty
with
Patience
.
To
which
he
answered
,
I
pray
the
Gods
I
may
continue
the
Government
of
this
Kingdom
with
the
like
mind
;
for
these
hands
were
sufficient
for
me
to
live
by
,
and
as
I
had
nothing
,
so
I
wanted
nothing
.
At
which
answer
Alexander
was
so
well
pleased
,
that
he
not
only
gave
him
all
the
Princely
Jewels
and
Ornaments
of
the
first
King
called
Strato
,
but
also
a
great
part
of
the
Booty
which
he
took
from
the
Emperour
of
Persia
,
and
added
to
his
command
all
the
neighbouring
Countries
round
about
.
This
History
I
have
inserted
,
that
thereby
we
might
perceive
the
mighty
power
of
God
in
all
his
works
;
that
can
exalt
the
poor
,
contented
with
his
estate
,
out
of
the
very
dust
,
and
can
pull
the
mighty
from
their
Thrones
.
So
the
evil
cark
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
chief
Town
(
Tyrus
only
excepted
)
in
all
Phoenicia
,
joyning
upon
the
West
to
the
Mediterranean
Sea
,
extending
it self
towards
the
North
and
South
,
lying
in
a
Plain
under
Antilibanus
,
which
Mountain
lay
some
two
miles
off
it
upon
the
East
.
It
oftentimes
,
because
of
the
Pride
of
the
Inhabitants
,
felt
the
wrath
and
punishing
hand
of
God
,
as
well
by
the
Invasion
of
Enemies
,
as
sickness
and
dearth
,
according
to
the
Predictions
of
the
Prophets
,
Esay
28.
and
Ezek.
28.
untill
at
last
in
succeeding
ages
it
was
utterly
destroyed
,
the
Ruins
of
which
City
remain
to
this
day
,
and
make
evident
that
it
was
a
fair
and
spatious
Town
.
There
is
to
be
seen
yet
to
this
day
a
City
built
out
of
the
Ruins
of
the
former
(
though
nothing
so
large
as
it
)
very
strong
,
and
mightily
fortified
,
so
that
it
seemeth
almost
invincible
,
if
it
have
men
wherewith
to
defend
it
.
Upon
the
one
side
it
joyneth
to
the
Sea
,
and
upon
the
other
side
of
it
there
standeth
two
mighty
strong
Castles
,
one
of
them
scituated
toward
the
North
,
upon
a
very
strong
Rock
,
as
it
were
in
the
heart
of
the
Sea
,
the
which
was
built
by
certain
Pilgrims
that
came
out
of
Germany
to
visit
the
holy
City
of
Ierusalem
.
The
other
of
them
was
scituated
upon
a
Hill
toward
the
South
of
the
City
,
as
well
fortified
,
and
no
less
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
kind
of
good
things
necessary
for
the
maintenance
of
life
and
delight
.
There
is
also
found
great
abundance
of
Grapes
,
which
are
very
delicious
and
pleasant
to
the
taste
,
whereof
the
Wine
Canamella
is
made
.
But
because
the
Turks
and
Saracens
are
prohibited
by
the
strict
Law
of
the
Alcoran
from
drinking
of
Wine
,
therefore
they
suffer
no
Vineyards
to
be
planted
,
neither
the
Inhabitants
to
dress
those
Vines
that
grow
naturally
.
Before
the
East
Gate
of
the
antient
City
which
now
lies
destroyed
,
there
is
built
a
Chappel
,
in
which
place
they
say
the
Woman
of
Canaan
intreated
our
Saviou●
Christ
to
cast
a
Devil
out
of
her
Daughter
,
Mat.

The
Mountain
Antilibanus
beginneth
close
by
the
River
Eleutherius
,
and
extends
it self
beyond
Tripolis
:
and
in
some
places
it
joyneth
so
close
to
the
Sea
,
that
for
the
streightness
of
the
wayes
those
that
travel
that
way
can
scarce
pass

In
this
City
was
the
fairest
Purple
in
all
those
parts
:
nay
,
as
some
Authors
affirm
,
the
like
was
not
to
be
found

the

&c.
Of
Cana
Syro-Phoenicia
.
THIS
Town
,
which
was
called
Cana
the
Great
,
was
scituated
upon
the
borders
of
Tyrus
and
Sidon
,
112
miles
from
Ierusalem
Northward
,
scituated
in
the
Tribe
of
Ashur
,
four
miles
from
Sidon
towards
the
South
,
and
three
from
Sare●ta
towards
the
East
.
In
this
Town
the
Syro●hoenician
dwelt
,
that
besought
our
Saviour
Christ
to
heal
her
Daughter
that
was
possessed
of
a
Devil
,
Mat.

Mar.

It
was
called
Cana
Syro-Phoenicia
,
to
put
a
diff●rence
between
it
and
another
Cana
,
scituated
in
Galilee
the
lower
;
in
which
City
our
Saviour
Christ
turned
Water
into
Wine
.
You
may
read
more
of
this
Town
before
.
Of
Traconitis
.
THIS
City
was
so
called
from
the
stony
hardness
of
the
Mountains
of
Gilead
,
which
compass
it
in
upon
the
East
side
:
in
which
Province
the
Tribe
of
Gad
and
the
half
Tribe
of
Manasses
inhabited
.
It
was
in
antient
times
called
Basan
;
in
which
Og
the
mighty
Gyant
had
a
great
Command
:
but
Moses
overcame
him
,
and
gave
the
Land
to
the
Tribe
of
Gad
,
and
the
half
Tribe
of
M●n●sses
.
In
Christ's
time
,
the
Tetrarch
and
Governour
of
it
was
Philip
,
who
was
Son
to
Herod
the
Great
,
and
Brother
to
Herod
An●ipas
Tetrarch
in
Galilee
and
Petraea
;
which
Herod
took
to
Wise
Herodia
,
whom
his
Brother
Philip
had
formerly
married
,
the
said
Philip
being
at
that
time
alive
:
but
because
Iohn
Baptist
reprehended
him
for
that
fact
,
therefore
at
her
request
he
was
beheaded
in
the
Castle
of
Machera
.
Itura
was
another
Province
belonging
to
the
Tetrarchy
of
Philip
,
joyning
upon
the
West
to
the
River
of
Iordan
,
and
called
Galilee
of
the
Gentiles
,
of
which

Of
Decapolis

THIS
Country
is
so
called
of

and
the

of
Galilee
,
as
may
be
gathered
out

So
that
it
is
manifest
that
that
Country
which
in
times

was
called
Gilead
,
was
afterward
known
and
called
by
the

This
Opinion
exactly
agreeth
with
that
of
the
Holy
Scripture
.
Yet
I
know
there
are
some
(
as
Plin.
lib.

cap.
18.
and
others
)
who
differ
from
this
in
the
description
of
this
Country
,
but
they
er●
from
the
truth
.
Of
Magdala
.
THIS
was
a
City
scituated
upon
the
West
side
of
the
Galilean
Sea
,
fifty
two
miles
from
Ierusalem
Northward
;
in
which
Country
Mary
(
who
of
this
Town
was
called
Magdalen
)
was
born
.
At
this
time
this
City
is
called
by
the
name
of
Castle
Magdala
;
in
which
place
they
shew
the
House
of
Mary
Magdalen
.
Upon
the
West
and
North-side
of
the
City
,
there
lieth
a
great
and
spacious
Plain
,
preserved
only
for
Pasture

a

derived
of
Dalal
,
He

;
and

a

or

It
may
be
a
notable
figure
of
the
Christian
Church
,
which
in
this
World
may
rightly
be
said
to
have
a
poor
Habitation
,
but
yet
is
a
right
Magdala

that
is

a
strong
and
impregnable

This
City
belonged
to
the
Tribe

MOunt
Thabor
was
a
round
and
high
Hill
,
upon
which
our
blessed
Saviour
Christ
was
transfigured
;
scituated
upon
the
borders
of
the
Tribes
of

,
fifty
two
miles
from
the
City
of
Ierusalem
towards

discomfited

Of
this

There
was
also
a
Town
called
after
this
Name
,
scituated
at
the
foot
of
this
Mountain
,
where
Ziba
and
Zalmana
,
Kings
of
the
Midianites
,
put
to
death
the
Brothers
of

,
Iudges

It
was
a
very
fruitful
and
pleasant
place
.
Concerning
the
signification
of
the
name
you
may
read
before
.
Egesippus
saith
,
That
this
Mountain
is
almost
four
miles
in
height
,
and
that
upon
the
top
thereof
there
is
a
round
Plain
almost
three
miles
over
,
in
which
there
grows
great
plenty
of
Trees
of
an
admirable
Pleasantness
and
Sweetness
;
amongst
which
Trees
there
are
many
Birds
which
sing
very
pleasantly
,
to
the
great
delight
of
all
such
as
hear
them
:
and
the
Air
on
the
top
of
it
is
very
pure
and
pleasant
.
It
is
the
received
Opinion
,
That
upon
the
top
of
this
Mountain
our
Saviour
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
fair
and
pleasant
Orchard
,
watered
with
many
clear
and
goodly
Springs
,
but
there
is
no
man
that
dwells
in
it
,
(
notwithstanding
there
are
many
Towns
and
Inhabitants
at
the
foot
of
the
Mountain
)
neither
do
they
think
any
man
worthy
to
dwell
in
it
,
they
hold
it
in
such
estimation
,
and
reverence
it
as
the
Hill
of
God
.
There
are
to
be
seen
in
it
divers
great
Ruines
of
Palaces
,
Towers
,
and
Princely
Edifices
;
in
which
at
this
day
there
harbour
many
Lions
and
other
wild
Beasts
.
It
is
very
difficult
to
ascend
up
to
the
top
of
it
it
is
so
exceeding
high
:
It
is
one
of
the
principal
hills
in
the
Holy
Land
,
not
only
because
that
Christ
on
it
was
transfigured
,
but
because
it
is
very
fruitful
,
and
plentifully
abounds
with
Vines
and
other
profitable
Plants
and
Herbs
.
The
Air
thereof
is
wholsom
and
good
,
and
the
Dew
upon
it
rising
thick
and
sweet
,
with
indifferent
Rain
;
the
Trees
high
and
fair
,
green
both
Winter
and
Summer
.
At
the
foot
of
the
Mountain
,
towards
the
South
near
to
Endo●
,
in
the
way
that
leadeth
from
Syria
into
Aegypt
,
is
shewed
the
place
where
(
as
it
is
said
)
Melchisedeck
met
with
Abraham
,
when
he
returned
from
the
Battel
of
the
four
Kings
,
Gen.
14.
At
the
foot
of
the
Mountain
lying
toward
the
West
,
just
against
Nazareth
,
there
is
a
Chappel
built
,
in
the
place
where
they
say
our
Saviour
Christ
descending
from
this
Mountain
,
spake
to
his
Disciples
,
saying
,
Tell
none
of
this
Vision
,
Mat.

Upon
the
East
side
of
it
runs
the
Brook

where
Barak
and
Deborah
overcame
the
Army

There
is
also
another
Hill
in
the
upper
part
of
Galilee
,
92
miles
from
Ierusalem
Northward
,
which
Hill
is
also
called
Thabor
,
and
is
three
miles
distant
from
Caesarea
Philippi
Eastward
:
but
that
was
not
the
place
of
Christs
Transfiguration
.
The
Travels
of
Christ
in
the
fourth
year
of
his
Ministry
,
being
the
four
and
thirtieth
of
his
age
.
IN
the
Month
of
Ianuary
Christ
the
Son
of
God
wintered
in
Bethabara
,
16
miles
from
Ierusalem
North-eastward
,
where
Iohn
sometimes
baptised
,
Ioh.
10.
And
many
came
unto
him
,
saying
,
Iohn
sh●wed
us
no
●gns
,
but
whatsoever
he
preached
of
this
Christ
are
true
.
And
many
believed
on
him
.
Now
as
Christ
went
into
the
Desart
to
preach
,
his
Disciples
came
unto
him
,
saying
,
Lord
teach
us
to
pray
,
as
Iohn
taught
his
Disciples
to
pray
.
Whereupon
he
prescribed
to
his
Disciples
a
Form
of
Prayer
,
which
is
called
the
Lords
Prayer
,
Luke
11.
At
this
time
there
came
unto
him
a
great
multitude
,
and
thronged
about
him
,
where
he
made
that
long
Sermon
which
is
described
Luke
12.
&
13.
Upon
the
seventeenth
Day
of
Ianuary
,
it
being
then
the
Sabbath
,
he
cured
a
certain
Woman
which
had
been
diseased
18
years
,
Luke
13.
And
when
there
came
unto
him
certain
Pharisees
,
saying
,
thou
art
the
Son
of
God
,
wherefore
get
the
out
of
this
Country
,
for
Herod
seeks
to
kill
thee
:
Jesus
answered
them
,
saying
,
Go
and
tell
that
crafty
Fox
,
behold
,
I
cast
out
Devils
to
day
,
and
tomorrow
,
and
the
third
Day
I
shall
be
pe●fected
.
Presently
he
departed
out
of
Petraea
(
where
Herod
kept
his
Court
in
the
Castle
of
Macharuntes
)
and
went
into
Galilee
beyond
Iordan
,
28
miles
,
Luke
13.
Upon
the
last
Day
of
Ianuary
,
being
the
Sabbath
,
our
Lord
and
Saviour
Christ
healed
(
in
the
house
of
a
certain
Prince
of
the
Pharisees
)
a
man
sick
of
the
Dropsie
,
and
recited
the
Parable
of
the
great
Supper
,
Luke
14.
In
the
Month
of
February
,
he
went
through
all
Galilee
,
which
was
80
miles
long
,
and
24
broad
;
in
which
visitation
there
followed
him
a
great
company
.
And
when
there
came
unto
him
Publicans
and
Sinners
,
he
began
to
speak
of
Repentance
,
but
the
Ph●risees
and
Scribes
murmured
at
him
,
and
opposed
his
Parables
,
of
the
lost
sheep
,
of
the
Woman
that
had
lost
her
Groat
,
and
of
the
prodigal
Son
,
Luke
15.
And
a
little
after
,
he
recited
unto
his
Disciples
the
Parable
of
the
unjust
Steward
,
and
of
Dives
and
Lazarus
,
Luke
16.
About
the
latter
end
of
February
(
as
by
the
circumstance
of
the
History
and
Times
may
appear
)
he
made
that
Sermon
of
the
Power
of
Faith
and
good
Works
,
&c.
Luke
17.
And
going
out
of
Galilee
through
the
midst
of
Samaria
,
he
healed
the
ten
Lepers
,
Luke
17.
He
recited
the
Parable
of
the
unjust
Judge
,
and
that
of
the
Publican
and
Pharisee
,
Luke
18.
In
the
Month
of
March
he
finished
this
general
Visitation
.
Which
Journey
were
so
many
and
divers
,
that
his
Disciples
could
not
describe
them
.
Notwithstanding
,
in
this
Month
he
went
into
the
Borders
of
Iudaea
and
Petraea
,
beyond
Iordan
,
and
came
to
Bethabara
,
where
Iohn
sometimes
baptised
,
and
there
followed
him
a
great
company
,
and
he
healed
them
,
Mat.
19.
Mark
10.
There
the
Pharisees
moved
the
disputation
of
the
Divorce
,
and
Christ
lovingly
imbraced
the
little
Children
,
Mark
20.
In
this
Month
of
March
Lazarus
the
Brother
of
Martha
and
Mary
,
who
dwelt
at
Bethania
,
fell
sick
of
a
deadly
disease
,
and
they
sent
messengers
to
Christ
,
who
at
this
time
was
at
Bethabara
,
to
give
him
to
understand
of
his
Sickness
,
Iohn
11.
this
message
came
unto
our
Saviour
Christ
to
Bethabara
upon
the
twentieth
day
of
March
,
being
the
last
day
of
the
twelfth
Month
Adar
,
Anno
Mundi
4000.
and
about
such
time
as
the
seventy
Weeks
,
spoken
of
by
Daniel
were
fully
ended
:
at
the
end
of
which
Prophecy
it
behoved
Christ
,
that
he
might
fulfill
the
Prophecies
of
the
Old
Testament
,
to
suffer
,
and
by
his
Resurrection
and
Ascension
to
enter
into
the
Glory
of
God
,
and
to
be
partaker
of
his
eternal
Kingdom
.
Although
our
Saviour
had
received
this
message
of
the
Sickness
of
Lazarus
,
he
stayed
at
Bethabara
.
Two
dayes
after
,
and
as
it
may
be
thought
,
about
the
twenty
second
day
of
March
,
which
was
the
second
day
of
the
first
Month
Abib
,
Lazarus
died
.
But
Lazarus
being
dead
and
buried
,
then
our
Saviour
went
from
Bethabara
towards
Iericho
,
Iohn
14.
Luke
8.
and
in
the
way
a
man
came
to
him
and
said
,
Good
Master
,
what
shall
I
do
that
I
may
inherit
eternal
Life
?
Christ
said
unto
him
,
Go
and
sell
all
that
thou
hast
,
and
give
it
unto
the
Poor
,
and
thou
shalt
find
Treasure
in
Heaven
,
and
then
come
and
follow
me
.
But
because
he
was
very
rich
he
refused
,
and
went
his
way
.
After
,
he
recited
the
Parable
of
the
Labourers
in
the
Vineyard
,
making
mention
of
Predestination
.
Also
in
this
Journey
he
reprehended
the
Sons
of
Zebedeus
for
their
Pride
and
Arrogancy
,
and
fore-telleth
his
Disciples
of
his
Death
and
Passion
,
and
in
the
way
healed
the
blind
man
that
sate
begging
,
and
so
entred
into
Iericho
,
where
he
rested
all
night
in
the
house
of
Zacheus
,
Mat.
20.
Zacheus
signifies
Clean.
Upon
the
twenty
fourth
of
March
,
Christ
went
from
Iericho
to
Bethania
,
which
was
twelve
miles
.
Here
he
healed
Bartimeus
the
Son
of
Timeus
,
Mark
10.
(
Timeus
signifieth
Unclean
,
of
Tame
,
He
is
defiled
)
And
going
a
little
further
,
he
healed
other
two
,
res●oring
them
to
sight
,
M●t.
19.
Upon
the
twenty
fifth
of
March
(
being
Tuesday
)
our
Saviour
Christ
came
to
Bethania
,
where
,
by
the
power
of
his
Word
he
raised
Lazarus
to
life
,
after
he
had
been
buried
four
dayes
,
Iohn
11.
Laz●rus
and
Eleazer
have
both
one
signification
,
that
is
,
God
is
my
Help
.
Upon
the
twenty
sixth
day
of
March
,
the
Feast
of
the
Passover
of
the
Iews
drawing
near
,
he
went
from
Bethania
to
the
City
of
Ephraim
near
to
the
Desart
,
that
he
might
avoid
the
Traps
and
Deceits
of
the
Iews
,
who
went
about
to
take
him
,
Iohn
11.
being
ten
miles
.
Upon
the
twenty
seventh
day
of
March
he
returned
back
again
from
Ephraim
to
Bethania
,
(
being
ten
miles
)
coming
thither
about
the
evening
,
six
dayes
before
the
Passover
,
at
which
time
Martha
ministred
to
him
,
and
Mary
anointed
his
feet
,
whereat
Iudas
grutched
,
Iohn
12.
Upon
the
Sabbath
day
,
being
the
twenty
eighth
of
March
,
he
rested
in
Bethania
at
the
House
of
Martha
.
Now
as
he
was
at
Supper
with
Lazarus
,
many
of
the
Iews
understanding
that
he
was
there
,
resorted
thither
,
not
only
to
see
him
,
but
Lazarus
also
whom
he
had
raised
from
the
dead
,
Iohn
.
12.
Upon
the
twenty
ninth
of
March
,
Christ
sitting
on
an
Ass
went
to
Ierusalem
.
Now
when
the
multitude
heard
that
he
was
come
unto
Ierusalem
,
they
went
out
to
meet
him
,
some
laying
their
Garments
in
the
way
,
others
strowing
the
boughs
of
Trees
where
he
should
go
;
and
those
that
went
before
cried
,
saying
,
Hosanna
to
the
Son
of
David
,
blessed
be
he
that
cometh
in
the
name
of
the
Lord
At
this
time
our
Saviour
Christ
wept
over
Ierusalem
,
and
cast
out
all
those
that
bought
and
sold
in
the
Temple
,
Mat.
21.
Iohn

About
the
evening
he
went
out
of
the
City
again
to
Bethania
,
almost
two
miles
,
and
there
rested
all
night
,
Mat.
21.
So
this
dayes
journey
was
almost
four
miles
.
In
the
evening
of
this
day
the
Iews
chose
their
Paschal
Lamb
,
according
to
the
Law
,
Exod.
12.
Upon
the
thirtieth
day
of
March
he
went
from
Bethania
to
Ierusalem
,
betimes
in
the
morning
;
in
which
Country
he
cursed
the
Fig-tree
that
wanted
Fruit
,
and
after
entring
into
the
City
,
he
cast
out
of
the
Temple
the
Money-changers
and
Merchants
,
Mark
11.
About
the
evening
(
as
may
be
gathered
by
circumstance
of
time
)
he
returned
back
again
to
Bethania
.
This
daies
Journey
was
four
miles
.
Upon
the
last
day
of
March
in
the
morning
,
Christ
went
back
again
from
Bethania
to
Ierusalem
;
and
by
the
way
as
he
went
,
his
Disciples
beheld
the
Fig-tree
that
he
had
cursed
,
and
lo
it
was
dried
up
,
Mark
11.
After
,
when
he
was
in
the
Temple
,
there
came
certain
Pharisees
unto
him
and
disputed
with
him
;
at
which
time
he
recited
the
Parable
of
the
Marriage
of
the
Kings
Daughter
.
Also
certain
Scribes
and
Pharisees
came
unto
him
asking
him
whether
it
was
lawful
to
pay
Tribute
unto
Caesar
,
Mat.
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
upon
the
goodly
building
of
the
Temple
,
from
thence
he
took
occasion
to
preach
of
the
Destruction
of
Ierusalem
,
and
the
consummation
of
the
World
;
so
he
stayd
all
that
night
in
the
Mount
of
Olives
,
Mat.

Upon
the
first
day
of
April
,
being
Wednesday
,
our
Saviour
Christ
rising
before
day
,
taught
again
in
the
Temple
;
and
after
,
as
he
was
going
to
Bethania
,
he
said
to
his
Disciples
,
Know
ye
that
within
these
two
daies
is
the
Feast
of
the
Passover
,
and
the
Son
of
man
shall
be
delivered
into
the
hands
of
Sinners
,
and
crucified
.
At
the
same
time
the
Chief
Priests
assembled
themselves
together
,
and
took
counsel
how
they
might
do
to
take
him
by
deceit
,
Mat.

The
same
day
as
our
Saviour
Christ
was
in
the
House
of
Simon
the
Leper
,
(
whom
he
had
healed
of
that
Sickness
)
there
came
a
Woman
and
brought
a
box
of
precious
Ointment
and
poured
it
upon
his
head
,
at
which
the
Disciples
murmured
,

The
fourth
Passover
of
the
Ministry
of
Christ
.
Upon
Thursday
being
the
second
day
of
April
,
the
dayes
of
the
Feast
of
the
Passover
being
now
at
hand
,
Christ
with
his
Disciples
prepared
for
the
eating
of
the
Paschal
Lamb
;
which
was
the
fourth
Passover
of
our
Saviour
,
and
when
about
the
evening
of
this
day
it
was
necessary
for
them
to
keep
the
Paschal
Lamb
,
and
to
prepare
the
Passover
according
to
God's
Law
;
Christ
sent
Peter
and
John
to
make
ready
the
Supper
,
and
he
with
the
rest
of
his
Disciples
about
evening
went
from
Bethania
toward
Jerusalem
,
just
at
the
beginning
of
the
fourteenth
day
of
the
first
Month
Abib
or
Nisan
,
which
began
about
the
evening
of
this
day
.
Here
he
celebrated
his
last
Supper
among
his
Disciples
,
between
six
and
seven
of
the
Clock
in
the
evening
;
at
which
time
he
celebrated
the
Sacrament
of
the
Lords
Supper
,
concerning
the
true
receiving
of
his
Body
and
Blood
:
of
which
you
may

Afterward
,
about

eighth
hour
,
he
washed
his
Dicsiples
feet
,
and
then
leaning
upon
the
Table
,
he
pointed
out
Judas
that
should
betray
him
,

From
the
ninth
hour
to
the
tenth
hour
,
about
the
second
Watch
of
the
night
,
Judas
that
Traitor
went
from
his
Disciples
,
John
.
13.
In
the
mean
time
Christ
made
that
long
Sermon
recited
only
by
John
,
14
,
15
,
16.
and
made
that
effectual
Prayer
,
John
17.
About
the
tenth
hour
(
after
they
had
sung
a
Psalm
)
Christ
went
over
the
Brook
Cedron
,
to
the
Garden
of
Gethsamene
,
being
somewhat
more
than
half
a
mile
.
There
,
between
the
hours
of
eleven
and
twelve
,
he
sweat
Water
and
Blood
,
and
prayed
earnestly
.
About
twelve
of
the
Clock
,
it
being
then
midnight
.
Christ
was
betrayed
by
Judas
,
who
about
three
dayes
before
had
sold
him
for
thirty
Silverlings
,
which
was
about
3
l.
15
s.
From
Gethsa●ene
the
Jews
brought
him
bound
to
Jerusalem
,
being
more
than
half
a
mile
:
and
about
one
of
the
Clock
in
the
morning
carried
him
to
the
house
of
Annas
who
was
one
of
the
Chief
Priests
.
About
two
of
the
Clock
led
him
from
thence
to
Cai●has
,
Chief
Priest
.
From
three
a
Clock
till
four
(
which
was
about
Cocks-crowing
)
Peter
denied
Christ
.
At
the
same
time
Cai●has
and
all
the
Priests
of
Ierusalem
would
have
condemned
the
Lord
of
Glory
,
the
Son
of
God
.
At
the
same
time
also
the
Servants
and
Officers
of
the
Priests
beat
him
and
mocked
him
.
About
five
of
the
Clock
in
the
morning
,
Christ
was
condemned
by
the
whole
consent
of
the
Syn●drion
of
the
Iews
,
Luke
22.
All
these
things
Christ
suffered
between
Thursday
and
Friday
.
And
whereas
the
Iews
according
to
the
commandment
of
God
begin
their
day
in
the
evening
,
therefore
that
night
wherein
our
Saviour
Christ
suffered
all
these
things
belonged
unto
the
fourteenth
day
of
the
Month
Abib
.
So
that
just
at
the
same
time
as
the
Feast
of
the
Paschal
Lamb
was
celebrated
amongst
the
Iews
,
Christ
,
the
true
Lamb
of
God
▪
was
made
a
living
Sacrifice
on
the
Cross
for
the
Sins
of
man
.
Thus
,
as
we
have
observed
the
hours
of
the
night
,
so
likewise
let
us
observe
the
hours
of
the
day
.
Friday
being
the
third
day
of
April
(
which
as
I
have
said
began
the
evening
before
)
was
the
fourteenth
day
of
the
first
Month
Abib
or
Nisan
,
among
the
Iews
.
At
six
a
Clock
in
the
morning
,
about
Sun-rising
of
the
same
day
,
our
Saviour
Jesus
Christ
was
brought
unto
Pilat
,
and
Iudas
Iscariot
hanged
himself
,
because
he
had
betrayed
the
Innocent
Blood
.
About
seven
of
the
Clock
in
the
same
morning
our
Saviour
Christ
was
carried
to
Herod
Antipas
,
that
cruel
Tyrant
,
who
the
year
before
had
put
Iohn
Baptist
to
death
:
here
he
was
disdainfully
handled
.
At
eight
of
the
Clock
our
Saviour
Christ
returned
to
Pilate
,
who
propounded
unto
the
Iews
(
because
they
were
to
have
a
Capital
Offender
delivered
unto
them
at
the
Feast
of
the
Passover
)
whether
they
would
have
Jesus
their
King
,
or
Barrabbas
,
who
had
been
a
Murtherer
,
let
loose
unto
them
;
but
they
condemned
Jesus
,
and
chose
Barrabbas
,
which
name
signifies
,
The
Son
of
the
multitude
,
or
a
Seditious
man
.
About
nine
of
the
Clock
in
the
morning
(
which
the
Iews
commonly
called
the
third
hour
of
the
day
,
because
it
succeeded
the
morning
,
and
continued
till
Noon
)
our
Saviour
Christ
was
Whip'd
and
crowned
with
Thorns
.
About
ten
of
the
Clock
Pontius
Pilate
,
in
the
place
called
Gabbatha
,
publickly
condemned
Christ
to
be
crucified
,
and
washed
his
hands
in
token
of
Innocency
.

Between
ten
and
eleven
,
our
Saviour
Christ
carrying
his
Cross
,
was
brought
to
the
place
called
Golgotha
.
About
eleven
of
the
Clock
,
the
third
hour
of
the
morning
being
not
yet
fully
finished
)
our
Saviour
Christ
was
fastned
upon
the
Cross
,
Mark
13.
He
therefore
hung
four
hours
upon
the
Cross
,
that
is
,
from
about
eleven
of
the
Clock
,
till
about
three
in
the
Afternoon
.
And
he
spake
before
that
supernatural
Eclipse
of
the
Sun
three
memorable
Sayings
:
First
,
Father
▪
forgive
them
,
for
they
know
not
what
they
do
,
Luke
19.
Secondly
,
he
said
to
his
Mother
,
Woman
,
behold
thy
Son
:
And
to
Iohn
,
being
converted
,
behold
thy
Mother
.
Thirdly
,
to
the
Thief
,
Verily
,
I
say
unto
thee
,
this
da●
thou
shalt
be
with
me
in
Paradise
About
twelve
of
the
Clock
(
in
that
Meridian
which
the
Iews
call
the
sixth
hour
,
that
is
the
sixth
hour
from
the
rising
of
the
Sun
)
that
supernatural
Eclipse
of
the
Sun
happened
,
of
which
you
may
read
in
Dionysius
the
Areopagite
,
and
Eusebius
.
About
three
of
the
Clock
in
the
Afternoon
,
which
the
Iews
call
the
ninth
hour
,
(
the
Sun
now
beginning
to
receive
its
light
)
our
Saviour
Christ
spake
these
four
sayings
,
My
God
,
my
God
,
why
hast
thou
forsaken
me
?
Matth.

Ioh.

When
he
had
taken
the
Sponge
,
he
said
,
It
is
finished
,
Ioh.
19.
And
after
,
crying
out
with
a
loud
Voice
,
he
said
,
Father
,
into
thy
hands
I
commend
my
spirit
,
and
so
died
.
At
which
time
there
were
many
wonderful
Miracles
wrought
,

About
four
of
the
Clock
in
the
Afternoon
,
our
blessed
Saviour
was
pierced
through
with
a
Lance
,
and
there
issued
out
of
his
side
Bloud
and
Water
,
Ioh.

About
five
of
the
Clock
,
which
the
Iews
call
the
eleventh
hour
of
the
day
,
our
Saviour
Christ
was
buried
by
Ioseph
of
Arimathea
and
Nicodemus
.
About
the
sixth
hour
,
there
fell
an
Eclipse
of
the
Moon
,
which
was
natural
and
not
miraculous
,
neither
is
it
observed
by
any
of
the
Evangelists
.
Upon
the
fifteenth
day
of
the
first
Month
,
which
answereth
to
the
4th
of
April
,
(
being
justly
called
the
great
and
holy
Sabbath
of
the
Iews
,
for
that
Christ
this
day
rested
in
the
Sepulchre
)
the
Priests
and
Pharisees
being
partly
joyful
,
because
,
as
they
thought
,
the
disturber
of
the
common
Peace
,
and
one
that
opposed
their
Authority
was
dead
;
and
partly
careful
how
they
might
prevent
his
Resurrection
,
went
to
Pilate
,
and
obtained
of
him
a
Band
of
Souldiers
to
watch
the
Sepulchre
,
and
to
put
his
Seal
upon
the
Stone
.
Upon
the
fifth
day
of
A●ril
,
early
in
the
morning
,
our
Saviour
Christ
,
having
overcome
Death
and
the
Devil
,
by
his
Divine
Power
raised
himself
up
from
the
dead
,
according
as
he
had
foretold
his
Disciples
,
and
appeared
to
Mary
Magdalen
,
Iohn
20.
and
to
other
Women
that
touched
his
Feet
,
Mat.
28.
About
Noon
he
appeared
to
Simon
Peter
,
Luke

●1
Cor.

In
the
Afternoon
he
travelled
with
two
of
his
Disciples
almost
eight
miles
to
the
Castle
of
E●aus
,
Luke
24.
One
of
these
Disciples
was
Cleophas
the
Brother
of
Ioseph
,
who
brought
up
our
Saviour
Christ
.
The
other
,
as
may
be
gathered
by
the
circumstance
of
the
story
,
was
Luke
,
because
he
hath
set
it
down
so
exactly
.
In
the
evening
of
the
same
day
,
he
returned
invisibly
from
Emaus
to
Ierusalem
,
eight
miles
,
where
,
when
the
doors
were
all
shut
,
and
his
Disciples
were
assembled
together
for
fear
of
the
Iews
,
Jesus
came
and
stood
in
the
midst
of
them
,
and
said
,
Peace
be
u●o
you
.
And
he
shewed
himself
to
all
his
Disciples
except
Thomas
.

the
Sabbath
of

Iewes
(
as

,
witnesseth
)
is
not
onely
taken
for
a
day
of
rest
,
but
also
for
the
whole
Week
:
from
whence
is

Upon
the
12
day
of
April
,
and
eight
dayes
after
his
Resurrection
,
he
appeared
again
to
his
Disciples
,
Thomas
being
then
present
,
and
the
doors
shut
;
that
he
might
make
evident
that
his
Omnipotence
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
he
appeared
unto
them
substantially
and
effectually
,
not
as
Phantasma
or
Shadow
,
which
vanisheth
away
,
and
is
without
any
corporeal
substance
.
In
the
same
month
of
April
our
Saviour
Christ
appeared
again
to
Peter
,
Thomas
,
Nathaniel
,
the
Sons
of
Zebedeus
,
and
other
two
Disciples
,
as
they
were
fishing
upon
the
shore
of
Tiberias
,
which
stood
56
miles
from
Ierusalem
Northward
,
between
Bethsaida
and
Capernaum
,
Ioh.

The
day
of
this
Apparition

From

near
to

and
Bethsaida
,
to

scituated
in
Galile●
,
is
reckoned
10
miles
;
there
,
about
the
end
of
April
our
Saviour
Christ
appeared
to
above
500
Brethren
at
once
,
where
many
worshipped
him
,
and
others
doubted
,

In
the
month
of
May
our
Saviour
Christ
appeared
to
Iames
the
Son
of
Alpheus
,
for
he
had
been
seen
before
of
Iames
the
Son
of
Zebedeus
:
both
which
were
after
crowned
with
martyrdom
in
the
City
Ierusalem
,
the
Son
of
Zebedeus
upon
the
25
day
of
Iuly
,
ten
years
after
the
Resurrection
;
and
the
Son
of
Alpheus
upon
the
Feast
day
of
the
Passover
was
thrown
from
a
Pinacle
of
the
Temple
,
29
years
after
the
Resurrection
of
our
Saviour
.
Upon
the
40
day
after
his
Resurrection
,
he
returned
fifty
six
miles
to
Ierusalem
,
where
his
Disciples
were
assembled
together
:
and
upon
the
fourteenth
day
of
May
,
in
the
sight
of
all
the
Apostles
,
with
great
triumph
and
joy
he
ascended
up
into
Heaven
,
and

of

Father
in

Majesty

But
if
you

his
Travels
from
the
time
of
his
infancy
to
the
day
of

,
they

3093

Sicomore-tree
are
no
more
to
be
seen
in
that
Place
:
only
the
Place
is
to
be
seen
where
our
Saviour
restored
the
blind
man
to
sight
,
when
he
cryed
after
him
,
Lord
,
thou
Son
of
David
,
have
mercy
upon
me
,
Luke

Also
though
the
Country
throughout
be
very
fruitful
and
pleasant
,
yet
it
is
nothing
so
fertile
and
pleasant
,
as
it
was
when
the
Children
of
Israel
did
dwell
there
.
For
the
Roses
of
Iericho
are
no
more
to
be
found
there
,
but
rather
in
a
Village
about
sixteen
miles
from
Iordan
towards
the
East
.
And
although
they
stand
so
far
distant
off
,
yet
they
retain
their
ancient
name
.
Between
Ierusalem
and
Iericho
there
is
a
Desart
or
Wilderness
,
which
by
the
Inhabitants
of
the
holy
Land
is
called
Quarentena
,
where
the
man
of
which
Christ
speaketh
fell
among
Thieves
,
Luke
.

There
is
in
the
same
place
at
this
day
great
thieving
,
and
many
Robberies
committed
,
as
Brittenbacchus
saith
.
In
this
Place
also
is
to
be
seen
the
River
Chereth
,
where
the
Ravens
fed
Eliah
,

Near
to
Iericho
also
is
found
the
River
,
the
Water
whereof
Elizeus
made
sweet
by
casting
in
Salt
,
whereas
before
it
was
bitter
;
and
it
remains
very
pleasant
and
sweet
to
this
day

Of

.
THIS
City
is
so
called
from
the
pleasantness
and
fruitfulness
of
the
Soil
,
being
derived
from
Parah
,
to
fructifie
.
It
lieth
8
miles
from
Ierusalem
North-eastward
,
just
in
the
way
as
you
go
from
thence
to
Iericho
in
the
Wilderness
of
Quarentena
,
close
by
the
River
Chereth
in
the
Tribe
of
Benjamin
.
Here
our
Saviour
Christ
after
he
had
raised
Lazarus
from
Death
to
Life
,
hid
himself
with
his
Disciples
,
because
the
Iewes
sought
to
take
away
his
Life
by
deceit
.
The
Passover
following
he
was
made
a
sacrifice
for
the
Sin
of
man
,
Ioh.
11.
Of
Bethania
.
THIS
City
was
a
type
of
the
Church
,
which
is
always
subject
to
the
Cross
,
and
exposed
to
every
calamity
;
and
therefore
is
called
Bethania
,
that
is
,
The
House
of
Sorrow
and
Affliction
:
being
derived
of
Baith
,
a
House
;
and
Oni
,
Affliction
.
According
to
the
prophecy
of
our
Saviour
,
who
foretold
of
the
Afflictions
and
Tribulations
that
should
fall
upon
his
Church
,
You
shall
mourn
,
but
you
shall
be
comforted
,
and
your
grief
shall
be
turned
into
joy
.
It
was
distant
from
Ierusalem
almost
two
miles
towards
the
South-East
.
Borchardus
the
Monk
observeth
,
that
close
by
a
Well
,
about
a
stones
cast
out
of
this
Town
,
there
is
shewed
the
place
where
Martha
met
our
Saviour
Christ
when
he
came
to
Bethania
,
and
a
little
after
called
her
Sister
to
meet
him
,

There
is
also
shewn
in
this
Town
the
House
of
Simon
the
Leper
,
where
a
certain
Woman
having
an
Alablaster
box
of
precious
Ointment
,
poured
it
on
our
Saviours
head
,
not
without
the
great
indignation
of
his
Disciples
,
Mat.

There
is
also
to
be
seen
the
house
of
Martha
,
to
which
our
Saviour
did
oftentimes
resort
,
Luke
10.
Iohn
11.
and
12.
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
life
,
Iohn

which
stands
close
by
the
said
Church
,
and
over
it
is
built
a
Chappel
of
Marble
,
very
decent
and
comely
.
The
Saracens
hold
this
Chappel
in
great
estimation
.
You
cannot
see
the
City
of
Ierusalem
from
Bethania
because
of
the
Mount
of
Olives
,
but
as
soon
as
you
ascend
a
little
Hill
in
the
way
as
you
go
thence
to
Ierusalem
,
you
may
discern
Mount
Sion
and
a
part
of
the
City
:
then
when
you
are
descended
from
that
Hill
,
the
City
is
again
hidden
.
After
that
,
upon
the
left
side
of
the
Mount
of
Olives
,
some
stones
cast
from
Bethpage
,
you
do
leave
a
small
Village
standing
under
the
Mountain
of
Offence
,
where
Solomon
in
times
past
committed
Idolatry
.
From
this
Village
the
Ass
and
the
Colt
was
brought
unto
Christ
.
Not
far
from
thence
,
upon
the
South
side
as
you
go
upon
the
Mount
of
Olives
,
you
come
unto
the
place
where
Christ
mounted
upon
the
Ass
,
as
we
read
,
Mat.
21.
And
a
little
after
you
may
see
the
whole
City
of
Ierusalem
,
with
Solomon's
Temple
,
and
the
Church
of
the
holy
Sepulchre
,
with
many
other
holy
places
.
Then
as
you
descend
from
the
top
of
the
Mount
of
Olives
,
you
may
see
the
place
where
the
multitude
cried
,
Hosanna
,
Blessed
be
he
that
cometh
in
the
name
of
the
Lord
.
And
in
this
descent
also
our
Saviour
Christ
wept
over
Ierusalem
,
saying
,
O
Ierusalem
,
Ierusalem
,
how
often
would
I
have
gathered
thee
under
my
Wings
as
a
Hen
gathereth
her
Chickens
,
but
thou
wouldest
not
.
Of
Bethpage
.
BEthpage
standeth
upon
the
right
hand
of
the
way
towards
the
East
,
as
you
go
from
Bethania
to
Ierusalem
,
and
,
as
St.
Ierom
saith
,
was
sometimes
a
Habitation
of
the
Priests
,
which
at
their
appointed
times
went
up
to
Ierusalem
to
minister
to
the
Lord
.
It
was
so
called
because
of
the
multitude
of
Figs
that
grow
there
:
for
Pagim
signifies
a
Fig
,
Cant.
2.
Bethpage
is
a
notable
type
of
the
Church
,
for
that
ought
likewise
to
be
fruitful
,
and
to
bring
forth
sweet
Figs
,
that
is
,
good
Works
,
and
many
other
comfortable
Vertues
,
that
so
men
in
their
afflictions
might
be
comforted
.
As
it
is
thought
,
the
Fig-tree
that
our
Saviour
Christ
cursed
because
it
wanted
Fruit
,
stood
not
far
from
Bethpage
,
Mat.
21.
Mark
11.
Wherefore
let
us
take
heed
that
we
be
not
like
fruitless
Fig-trees
,
covered
only
(
like
our
Forefathers
Adam
and
Eve
)
with
Leaves
,
and
bearing
no
fruit
,
Gen.
3.
lest
so
God's
Curse
fall
upon
us
,
and
we
be
thrust
out
of
Eternal
Happiness
,
Mat.

Of
the
Castle
from
whence
the
Ass
and
the
Colt
were
brought
upon
which
our
Saviour
Christ
rode
to
Jerusalem
.
THIS
Castle
(
as
Adamus
Risnerus
saith
)
was
a
certain
Hold
compassed
about
with
strong
Walls
,
and
within
beautified
with
a
fair
Palace
supported
with
goodly
Columns
:
it
stood
not
far
from
the
Mount
of
Olives
,
just
in
the
dividing
of
the
way
as
you
go
from
Bethania
to
Ierusalem
;
for
there
goes
one
way
to
the
Fountain-Gate
,
and
another
to
the
Valley
of
Gehinnon
.
In
the
Hebrew
Text
it
is
called
Tirah
,
as
you
may
read
in
Matthew
,
which
signifies
not
only
a
Castle
,
but
a
firm
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
Ass
and
the
Colt
were
tied
in
the
way
,
for
this
cause
;
that
if
by
chance
any
Travellers
were
weary
(
by
reason
of
the
tediousness
of
their
Journey
)
they
might
hire
them
for
certain
hours
to
carry
them
over
the
Mount
of
Olives
,
and
so
return
them
back
again
.
The
Allegorical
meaning
of
this
Ass
and
the
Colt
,
according
to
the
opinion
of
many
learned
men
,
signifies
the
People
of
the
Iews
,
who
were
burthened
with
Moses's
Laws
:
and
the
Asses
Colt
signifies
the
rest
of
the
Gentiles
,
which
were
not
charged
with
the
burthen
of
Moses's
Law
,
but
tied
only
to
the
Law
of
Nature
.
So
we
also
like
Travellers
and
Strangers
in
this
miserable
World
,
are
tied
to
the
Afflictions
and
Calamities
thereof
,
standing
in
two
ways
,
expecting
the
death
of
the
Body
,
and
liberty
of
the
Soul
;
then
our
Saviour
Christ
cometh
in
Peace
and
looseth
this
Body
of
death
,
(
as
the
Apostle
saith
,
Rom.
7.
)
and
bringeth
us
to
that
Heavenly
Ierusalem
,
eternal
Joy
,
according
to
that
of
St.
Paul
,
in
the
first
of
the
Philippians
,
I
desire
to
be
loosed
and
to
be
with
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
.
Of
the
Mount
of
Olives
.
ABout
half
a
mile
and
a
Furlong
from
Jerusalem
towards
the
East
,
stood
the
Mount
of
Olives
,
very
fruitful
and
pleasant
,
bringing
forth
Olives
,
Palms
,
Figs
,
Gossumtine
,
and
many
other
notable
Fruits
,
but
principally
,
Palms
and
Olives
,
of
which
the
Mountain
taketh
the
Name
.
It
is
said
in
Pliny
,
lib.
16.
cap.
19.
that
these
Olive
and
Palm
trees
do
never
lose
their
Leaves
,
and
are
green
both
Winter
and
Summer
.
St.
Austin
calleth
it
,
The
Mountain
of
Vnction
,
because
of
the
Fertility
and
pleasantness
of
it
:
also
The
Mountain
of
Health
,
because
it
bringeth
forth
Oyls
and
many
other
Plants
necessary
for
Physick
:
also
,
The
Mountain
of
Light
;
first
,
because
it
lieth
upon
the
East
,
so
that
the
Sun
shineth
in
the
morning
very
pleasantly
upon
it
,
and
in
the
evening
when
it
setteth
,
the
Beams
thereof
reflecting
upon
the
Temple
of
Jerusalem
casteth
a
beautiful
light
to
this
Mount
:
secondly
,
because
it
bringeth
forth
Oyl
,
which
is
the
nourishment
and
life
of
light
:
thirdly
,
because
it
was
beautified
with
the
gracious
presence
of
our
blessed
Lord
and
Saviour
Christ
,
which
is
the
Day-star
and
Light
of
the
Church
,
rising
up
on
high
to
inlighten
all
those
which
shall
be
called
unto
eternal
happiness
.
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
Works
)
relieving
the
necessity
of
such
as
are
in
want
,
comforting
the
afflicted
,
and
patiently
supporting
the
Calamity
and
Misery
of
this
World
,
that
so
they
might
triumphantly
rejoyce
with
Christ
in
that
heavenly
City
of
Jerusalem
.
What
things
Zacharias
hath
spoken
of
this
Mount
in
his
last
Chapter
,
is
to
be
understood
of
the
preaching
of
the
Gospel
,
and
propagation
of
the
Church
through
all
the
World
.
St.
Jerom
saith
in
his
Epitaph
upon
St.
Paul
,
That
upon
this
Hill
the
Jews
commonly
burnt
the
red
Cow
,
with
the
Ashes
whereof
the
People
of
God
being
sprinkled
,
they
were
purified
and
sanctified
:
of
which
you
may
read
,
Num.

Heb.

Hellen
the
Empress
,
Mother
to
that
godly
Emperour
Constantine
the
Great
,
about
the
year
of
our
Lord
332
,
caused
a
fair
and
beautiful
Church
to
be
built
upon
this
Mount
,
just
in
the
place
where
our
blessed
Lord
and
Saviour
Christ
ascended
up
into
Heaven
.
It
was
built
round
,
all
of
white
polished
Marble
:
upon
the
top
thereof
there
is
no
Roof
,
but
a
Window
,
even
as
Christ
should
ascend
through
it
,
as
Eusebius
saith
,
in
the
Life
of
the
Emperour
Constantine
the
Great
,
lib.

cap.
40.
The
same
St.
Jerom
affirmeth
,
in
his
Book
Delocis
Hebraicis
.
He
also
saith
,
That
the
Inhabitants
of
the
Holy
Land
take
upon
them
to
shew
in
this
Church
,
the
Impression
of
the
Feet
of
our
Saviour
Christ
,
which
hapned
as
they
say
,
just
at
such
time
as
he
ascended
up
into
Heaven
:
out
of
which
Travellers
and
Pilgrims
take
Sand
to
carry
with
them
as
an
holy
Relick
,
though
indeed
it
is
verily
to
be
thought
,
that
they
were
feet
made
in
stone
by
antient
Monks
,
thereby
to
get
Money
from
such
as
resorted
thither
upon
Devotion
;
for
look
how
oft
Pilgrims
take
thence
the
Sand
,
they
are
presently
filled
again
:
from
whence
may
be
gathered
,
that
there
is
no
Sand
naturally
there
.
Every
man
therefore
ought
to
imbrace
a
nearer
way
to
Salvation
,
than
to
follow
those
Monkish
Fables
;
and
to
seek
Christ
in
the
Holy
Scripture
,
not
upon
the
Mount
of
Olives
,
or
amongst
Sand
:
for
since
the
Grave
could
not
contain
him
,
the
Mount
of
Olives
cannot
hold
him
,
who
now
sitteth
at
the
right
Hand
of
his
Father
,
in
Power
and
eternal
Glory
:
but
rather
,
if
we
be
desirous
to
see
the
Footsteps
of
Christ
,
let
us
seek
them
in
the
Church
,
which
is
dispers'd
through
the
World
;
wherein
we
are
sufficiently
taught
how
we
should
follow
him
.
The
Palm
is
a
famous
Tree
which
bringeth
forth
Dates
;
and
is
so
called
because
upon
the
top
the
boughs
are
thick
and
round
,
extending
out
like
fingers
;
from
whence
it
is
called
Dactilus
,
that
is
,
a
finger
.
Of
Gethsamene
.
THIS
was
a
Village
scituated
at
the
foot
of
the
Mountain
of
Olives
,
in
a
pleasant
and
fruitful
place
.
Near
unto
this
Village
,
as
Saint
Augustine
observeth
,
there
were
many
pleasant
Gardens
,
which
gave
forth
very
sweet
and
delectable
savours
;
unto
which
Place
Christ
and
his
Disciples
did
oftentimes
resort
,
as
the
Evangelist
Luke
,
cap
22.
observeth
.
It
was
so
called
from
the
pressing
forth
of
Oyl
;
for
Gath
or
Geth
,
signifies
a
Press
,
and
Schaemen
Oyl
.
In
this
place
the
heart
of
our
Saviour
Christ
was
so
press'd
with
affliction
that
he
sweat
drops
of
Blood
:
By
which
Blood
the
Sins
of
our
Souls
are
washed
away
,
and
we
that
are
wounded
are
made
whole
,
as
with
a
most
precious
Balsom
,
Isa.

Hellen
the
Empress
,
in
an
Orchard
close
by
this
Town
,
set
up
a
fair
and
beautiful
Church
,
over
the
Sepulchre
of
the
Virgin
Mary
;
which
she
called
by
the
name
of
the
Mother
of
God
,
Niceph.
lib.
2.
cap.
30.
It
is
said
,
that
this
Sepulchre
remaineth
to
this
day
in
this
Church
,
made
of
white
polished
Marble
,
standing
about
eight
and
forty
steps
under
ground
,
being
something
wider
than
the
Sepulchre
of
Christ
:
in
it
there
is
two
doors
,
one
to
go
in
,
another
to
go
out
.
But
whether
this
be
the
right
Sepulchre
of
the
blessed
Virgin
,
it
concerneth
us
not
,
since
it
appertaineth
not
to
our
Salvation
,
neither
is
mentioned
in
the
holy
Scriptures
:
but
if
any
Man
be
desirous
to
be
further
satisfied
in
it
let
him
read
Nice●horus
,
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
lived
in
those
times
)
would
not
have
omitted
so
memorable
an
Action
.
But
to
return
to
the
Garden
of
Gethsamene
.
About
some
fifty
paces
towards
the
East
of
this
Sepulchre
of
the
blessed
Virgin
,
close
by
the
foot
of
the
Mount
of
Olives
,
stands
a
certain
Chappel
,
just
in
the
place
where
sometimes
the
Town
of
Gethsamene
stood
.
Not
far
from
this
Chappel
is
shewn
a
certain
hollow
place
under
a
Rock
,
where
,
the
Inhabitants
say
our
Saviour
sweat
drops
of
Blood
.
They
also
shew
a
certain
stone
whereon
the
Angels
stood
which
comforted
our
Saviour
.
Descending
thence
about
a
stones
cast
,
they
shew
unto
Pilgrims
a
place
close
by
the
Cave
in
the
Mount
of
Olives
,
where
Peter
,
James
,
and
John
sat
when
our
Saviour
was
in
his
Agony
.
They
also
shew
the
place
where
Peter
cut
off
Malchus
Ear.
There
is
to
be
seen
a
memorable
Place
where
Judas
betrayed
our
Saviour
with
a
kiss
,
when
he
delivered
him
to
the
Jews
.
Not
far
off
is
to
be
seen
the
Place
where
the
Jews
fell
backward
when
our
Saviour
ask'd
them
,
Whom
seek
ye
?
Besides
many
other
things
(
if
Borchardus
may
be
credited
)
as
the
Impression
of
his
hair
and
head
upon
a
stone
;
and
of
his
finger
,
as
if
it
had
been
in
Wax
,
upon
a
Rock
:
and
in
the
place
where
he
prayed
,
of
his
Hands
and
Knees
,
which
are
so
firm
in
stone
that
they
cannot
be
defaced
with
any
Instrument
.
But
there
have
been
many
in
this
place
since
these
times
,
which
have
seen
none
of
these
things
:
from
whence
may
be
gathered
,
that
they
have
been
idle
delusions
used
by
ancient
Monks
to
get
money
from
Pilgrims
and
Strangers
;
and
I
have
here
remembred
them
,
that
others
knowing
these
,
may
beware
of
the
like
Fallacies
and
Deceits
purposely
invented
for
Lucre's
sake
.
This
Garden
of
Gethsamene
is
credibly
thought
to
have
been
planted
in
former
times
by
the
Kings
,
David
and
Solomon
;
but
increased
and
inlarged
by
other
succeeding
Princes
,
that
there
they
might
recreate
themselves
,
and
receive
some
content
by
the
Fruits
of
the
Earth
.
But
on
the
contrary
,
that
great
King
,
the
anointed
of
the
Lord
,
our
blessed
Saviour
,
in
this
place
of
Pleasure
,
this
Paradice
of
the
Iews
,
was
constrain'd
to
undergo
that
almost
unsupportable
Passion
,
to
make
us
partakers
of
that
heavenly
Paradice
and
place
of
Pleasure
.
Not
far
from
hence
is
to
be
seen
the
place
where
Iudas
hanged
himself
:
and
a
little
from
that
,
the
Field
of
Akeldama
,
which
was
bought
with
the
thirty
Silverlings
for
which
Iudas
betrayed
Christ
.
This
Field
(
by
the
appointment
of
the
Empress
of
Hellen
)
was
compassed
about
with
four
Walls
in
the
manner
of
a
Tower
,
upon
the
top
whereof
there
are
seven
distinct
doors
,
like
Windows
,
by
which
the
dead
Bodies
of
Christians
are
let
down
into
it
,
it
is
fifty
foot
wide
,
and
seventy
two
long
.
It
standeth
not
far
from
the
Valley
of
Hinnon
towards
the
East
,
and
upon
the
South-side
of
Mount
Sion
in
Ierusalem
,
&c.
Of
Kidron
or
Cedron
.
THIS
Brook
was
so
called
because
of
the
blackness
of
the
Water
,
being
derived
of
Kadar
,
to
wax
black
.
The
Mountain
whence
it
first
riseth
,
stands
not
far
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
South
;
from
whence
it
runeth
through
the
Valley
of
Jehosaphat
(
which
Valley
being
very
fat
and
fertile
,
changeth
the
colour
of
the
Water
,
and
makes
it
look
black
)
and
so
through
Jerusalem
;
then
passing
towards
the
East
,
over
a
cliff
of
Mount
Olivet
,
it
falleth
into
the
Lake
Asphaltites
.
When
there
falls
any
store
of
Rain
the
Channel
is
very
full
,
but
in
Summer
it
is
oftentimes
dry
with
the
extremity
of
Heat
.
Over
this
Brook
David
passed
when
he
was
persecuted
by
his
Son
Absolon
,
2
Sam.
16.
and
our
Saviour
Christ
when
hedrank
of
the
River
in
the
Way
,
that
is
,
when
he
suffered
upon
the
Cross
for
the
Sin
of
Man
,
according
to
that
Saying
of
the
Psalmist
,
Psal.
69.
save
me
,
O
God
,
because
the
Waters
are
entred
even
into
my
Soul
.
Of
Mount
Calvary
.
THIS
Mountain
,
according
to
the
common
Opinion
,
was
so
called
of
dead
Mens
Skulls
,
or
the
Skulls
of
such
who
were
put
to
death
for
some
capital
Offence
.
It
stood
upon
the
West-side
of
Jerusalem
as
you
go
out
of
the
ancient
Gate
,
and
is
a
part
of
Mount
Gihon
.
At
this
day
it
standeth
within
the
City
of
Jerusalem
together
with
the
Sepulchre
of
our
Saviour
:
and
upon
it
is
built
a
fair
Church
,
which
is
joyned
unto
the
Church
of
the
holy
Sepulchre
,
being
as
it
were
a
Quire
unto
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
paved
with
the
same
Stone
.
Within
it
is
seen
a
piece
of
the
Pillar
of
Stone
,
to
which
they
say
Christ
was
tied
when
he
was
whipped
:
in
which
Stone
are
to
be
seen
certain
red
specks
,
as
if
they
had
been
drops
of
Bloud
;
and
these
also
(
they
say
)
were
the
Blood
of
Christ
when
he
was
scourged
;
besides
many
other
things
,
of
which
you
may
read
at
the
beginning
of
this
Treatise
in
the
description
of
Ierusalem
as
it
is
at
this
day
.
The
Description
of
the
holy
Sepulchre
.
THE
Sepulchre
of
Christ
stood
upon
the
West
side
of
Ierusalem
,
close
by
Mount
Golgatha
,
in
the
Garden
of
Ioseph
of
Arimathea
:
for
it
was
the
custom
of
the
Iews
to
build
their
Tombs
or
Sepulchres
in
their
Orchards
and
Gardens
;
and
beautifie
and
adorn
them
with
Lillies
,
Roses
,
and
other
Flowers
,
on
purpose
to
put
them
in
mind
of
their
Mortality
,
according
to
that
of
David
,
Psal.
103.
The
days
of
Man
are
like
Grass
,
as
a
Flower
of
the
Field
so
flourisheth
he
:
for
the
Wind
goeth
over
it
and
is
gone
,
and
the
Place
thereof
shall
know
it
no
more
.
And
for
this
cause
the
Iews
,
but
especially
the
Kings
,
would
be
buried
in
their
Gardens
:
so
Ioseph
,
a
good
and
just
Man
,
following
this
custom
,
had
hewed
him
out
of
a
Rock
a
new
Monument
,
in
which
there
had
been
no
Man
laid
;
that
so
when
he
walked
in
the
Garden
to
take
the
Air
,
he
might
be
put
in
mind
of
his
Mortality
.
In
this
Monument
our
Saviour
Christ
was
buried
:
and
from
this
Place
,
upon
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
Eve
,
trespassed
against
God
,
and
lost
Felicity
in
a
Garden
;
so
Christ
the
Son
of
God
in
a
Garden
made
satisfaction
for
that
Sin
;
restored
us
again
to
Grace
,
and
make
us
capable
of
heavenly
felicity
.
This
Sepulchre
(
as
it
is
described
by
S.
Iohn
,
when
he
went
with
S.
Peter
to
see
if
that
notable
Miracle
of
the
Resurrection
were
true
)
was
like
a
little
Chappel
,
the
door
thereof
being
upon
the
outside
,
and
was
but
one
Room
without
any
division
,
so
that
a
Man
might
see
all
that
was
within
it
:
for
he
saith
,
Joh.
20.
That
he
did
not
go
in
,
but
look'd
in
,
and
saw
the
linnen
Cloaths
where
they
lay
wrapped
up
:
from
whence
may
be
concluded
,
that
that
Sepulchre
which
is
now
extant
(
howsoever
perhaps
it
may
stand
in
the
same
place
)
is
not
the
same
Sepulchre
wherein
our
Saviour
Christ
was
buried
;
for
it
is
described
to
be
four
square
,
to
be
open
at
the
top
,
to
have
within
it
two
Vaults
(
an
inward
and
an
outward
)
and
that
you
descend
to
it
by
Stairs
,
as
you
may
read
at
the
beginning
of
this
Treatise
;
which
description
doth
not
agree
with
that
of
St.
John's
.
Again
St.
John
saith
,
that
they
rolled
a
great
Stone
to
the
door
of
the
Sepulchre
,
did
not
lay
it
upon
the
top
of
it
.
Also
Eusebius
and
Nicephorus
affirm
,
that
the
Pagans
and
other
heathen
People
filled
up
the
Sepulchre
of
Christ
with
Earth
,
and
built
up
in
the
place
the
Temple
of
Venus
,
and
in
it
put
her
Image
,
where
she
was
worshipped
a
long
time
after
,
untill
such
time
as
that
godly
Emperess
Hellen
caused
that
Temple
to
be
abolished
,
and
the
Sepulchre
cleansed
and
purified
.
Afterwards
,
at
her
instigation
,
Constantine
the
Great
(
who
was
her
Son
)
built
up
in
the
very
same
place
a
fair
and
goodly
Church
in
the
memory
of
our
Saviour
,
and
bestowed
great
cost
both
in
the
workmanship
,
and
in
beautifying
it
with
Gold
and
Silver
.
This
Temple
(
as
it
was
before
it
was
destroyed
by
the
Saracens
)
is
said
to
be
built
all
of
white
polished
Marble
,
and
beautified
with
Stones
of
divers
colours
,
gilt
with
Gold
and
Silver
,
covered
on
the
out
side
with
Lead
to
withstand
the
storms
and
showers
of
Rain
that
happened
;
but
the
inside
was
gilt
all
with
splendent
and
refulgent
Gold
,
which
cast
a
wonderful
lustre
upon
the
Beholders
.
Upon
either
side
of
it
were
two
walking
Galleries
,
one
above
,
which
was
close
;
and
another
below
,
which
was
open
,
extending
themselves
the
length
of
the
Sanctuary
;
all
the
Roof
and
Vault
being
covered
over
with
Gold
and
artificial
Work
,
the
one
being
supported
with
Pillars
of
Marble
,
the
other
with
Posts
of
Wood
plaited
with
Silver
.
There
were
also
three
Gates
towards
the
East
,
very
fitly
and
fairly
disposed
,
by
which
the
multitude
that
resorted
thither
go
in
and
out
:
within
these
there
stood
an
Arch
,
representing
,
after
a
sort
,
the
Hemisphere
of
the
Heavens
,
extended
to
the
top
of
the
Sanctuary
like
a
Circle
,
girded
about
with
twelve
Pillars
of
equal
bigness
,
representing
the
twelve
Apostles
;
and
upon
the
top
of
this
Arch
were
placed
Cups
of
Silver
,
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
look
on
,
all
which
,
as
you
came
up
the
high-street
from
the
market
place
,
were
presented
to
your
view
;
a
stately
sight
,
the
like
whereof
those
parts
did
not
afford
.
This
Temple
was
built
by
the
Emperour
Constantine
,
Anno
Dom.
333.
Venerable
Bede
,
who
was
a
Dr.
of
Divinity
,
and
lived
in
England
700
years
after
Christ
,
described
the
holy
Sepulchre
after
this
manner
:
This
Sepulchre
over
head
was
something
round
,
and
so
high
,
that
a
man
could
scarce
touch
it
with
his
hand
;
standing
in
that
Rock
which
extendeth
it self
to
Mount
Calvary
into
the
Garden
of
Joseph
of
Arimathea
:
representing
in
form
a
little
Chappel
:
the
entrance
thereinto
was
towards
the
East
.
And
further
he
addeth
,
that
they
which
went
into
this
Vail
,
found
on
the
right
hand
toward
the
North
,
a
stone
Tomb
which
resembled
a
Coffin
,
scituated
in
the
pavement
,
joyning
to
the
Wall
;
which
stone
Coffin
was
of
a
mix'd
colour
,
that
is
,
white
and
red
,
being
seven
Foot
long
,
and
three
handfuls
high
.
This
description
,
Venerable
Bede
received
from
certain
Monks
,
that
went
upon
devotion
to
Ierusalem
to
visit
this
Sepulchre
:
but
since
,
it
hath
been
divers
times
destroyed
and
polluted
by
the
Turks
and
other
Heathen
People
.
From
whence
may
be
gathered
,
that
the
Sepulchre
which
is
now
standing
and
shewed
unto
Pilgrims
,
is
some
device
of
the
Monks
to
get
Money
of
Strangers
,
and
procure
a
kind
of
Devotion
in
the
hearts
of
Ignorant
People
;
wherefore
as
the
Angel
said
,
Mark
16.
Let
us
not
seek
Christ
any
longer
among
the
dead
,
or
in
the
Grave
,
but
in
his
holy
Church
,
where
the
lively
pourtraiture
of
his
Divine
Presence
is
set
forth
unto
us
:
that
so
we
may
be
made
partakers
with
him
hereafter
in
that
place
of
eternal
Glory
.
Concerning
the
residue
of
this
description
you
may
see
it
before
.
Of
Emmaus
.
THIS
City
or
Castle
of
Emmaus
,
is
distant
from
Jerusalem
almost
eight
miles
towards
the
North-West
.
It
signifies
the
Mother
of
Fortitude
;
being
derived
of
Em
,
a
Mother
;
and
Vtz
,
which
the
Hebrews
call
Fortitude
.
It
stood
where
three
several
ways
were
,
that
so
it
might
serve
for
a
direction
to
Passengers
.
From
whence
Melancton
saith
,
that
it
was
a
notable
type
of
the
Church
,
which
is
our
true
Mother
,
shewing
us
the
way
unto
eternal
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
invincible
;
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
prevail
.
In
the
time
of
Iudas
Macchabe●s
(
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
Saviour
travelled
from
Ierusalem
the
same
day
that
he
arose
from
the
Dead
,
Luke
24.
In
the
time
of
the
Romans
Wars
in
Iudaea
,
this
City
was
wonderfully
defaced
and
ruined
by
the
Souldiers
of
Tiberius
Maximus
(
who
was
Chief
Captain
in
this
Country
,
in
the
absence
of
Titus
Vesp●sian
,
)
but
yet
not
utterly
abolished
;
for
about
a
hundred
and
fifty
years
after
,
Heliogabolus
Emperour
of
Rome
caused
it
to
be
rebuilded
,
and
called
by
the
name
of
Nicopolis
,
that
is
,
The
City
of
Victory
.
Not
far
from
Emmaus
there
was
an
Inn
,
or
a
place
to
which
Strangers
might
resort
,
and
there
three
ways
met
;
two
went
of
either
side
the
Town
,
and
one
through
it
:
in
this
place
the
two
Disciples
constrained
our
blessed
Saviour
to
stay
with
them
,
because
it
was
then
about
Sun-set
.
Near
unto
this
Inn
,
Nicephorus
and
Zozemenus
say
(
in
their
Ecclesiastical
History
)
there
was
a
Spring
or
Well
of
that
admirable
Vertue
,
that
if
either
Man
or
Beast
that
was
infirm
or
sick
did
drink
of
the
Water
thereof
,
they
were
immediately
restored
to
their
former
Health
.
The
reason
that
these
Authors
have
for
it
(
because
they
are
impertinent
)
I
will
omit
.
But
to
return
to
the
City
of
Emmaus
,
as
it
is
now
called
Nicopolis
,
being
scituated
eight
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
North-East
,
in
the
way
as
you
go
thence
to
Ioppa
:
the
Countrey
round
about
it
being
very
fertile
and
pleasant
,
by
reason
of
the
Rivers
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
read
more
of
this
City
in
Pliny
,
as
it
is
at
this
day
,
and
in
Nicephorus
and
Eusebius
,
I
leave
to
speak
further
of
it
.
Of
Simon
of
Cyrene
.
THIS
Simon
,
which
carried
the
Cross
of
our
Saviour
Christ
,
was
born
in
Kir
,
a
City
in
Africa
,
scituated
sixteen
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
West
,
Mat.
27.
Luk.
23.
In
which
City
Tiglath
Phulasser
,
Emperour
of
the
Assyrians
,
planted
many
of
the
Inhabitants
of
Damascus
,
after
he
had
conquered
that
City
,
2
Reg.
16.
This
City
and
the
Country
round
about
it
,
by
reason
of
these
new
Inhabitants
,
by
little
and
little
changed
the
name
:
and
whereas
in
former
times
it
was
called
Kir
,
in
the
time
of
our
Saviour
it
was
commonly
called
Cyrene
,
and
this
Man
(
of
that
Country
)
Simon
of
Cyrene
.
At
this
day
it
is
a
strong
and
beautiful
City
scituated
between
Mareotides
and
Zeugitania
:
at
first
built
by
Battus
,
whom
Callimachus
the
Poet
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
think
this
word
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
to
have
been
originally
used
by
him
,
and
by
none
other
.
Afterward
(
as
is
said
)
Tiglath
Phulasser
having
obtained
the
Jurisdiction
of
this
City
,
planted
the
People
of
Da●ascus
in
it
:
and
they
obtaining
some
Power
there
,
continued
till
a
long
time
after
Christ
,
and
imbraced
the
Religion
of
the
Jews
,
built
up
Synagogues
,
and
dispersed
that
Law
in
many
parts
of
those
Quarters
.
There
were
some
of
this
Country
that
opposed
that
holy
Martyr
Stephen
,
and
were
consenting
to
his
death
.
There
were
many
learned
men
in
it
,
as
Eratosthenes
the
Mathematician
,
Callimacus
the
Poet
(
both
which
were
had
in
great
estimation
among
the
Aegyptians
)
Carneades
also
the
Academian
,
Cronus
Appolonus
,
and
Hegesias
the
Philosopher
(
of
whom
Cicero
speaketh
in
the
fifth
Book
of
his
Tusculans
)
and
Eratosthenes
the
Historian
,
who
was
Son
of
Agaclis
.
Salust
saith
,
that
this
City
in
his
time
was
so
mighty
that
it
maintained
War
against
the
Carthaginians
for
their
Bounds
and
Limits
of
their
Fields
and
Grounds
,
a
long
time
;
and
Iustin
lib.
39.
that
they
maintained
War
against
two
Nations
,
the
Phoenes
and
the
Egyptians
:
in
which
Wars
they
gave
Aprius
,
the
King
of
the
Egyptians
,
such
a
mighty
overthrow
,
that
there
were
very
few
of
his
Army
that
returned
into
his
Country
with
him
,
as
Horodot
.
affirmeth
,
lib.
4.
there
were
also
many
Great
Princes
that
ruled
in
this
City
:
of
which
,
because
you
may
read
in
divers
other
Authors
more
at
large
,
I
omit
to
speak
of
them
.
Of
Joseph
of
Arimathea
,
who
buried
Christ
.
THIS
Ioseph
,
which
caused
our
Saviour
Christ
to
be
buried
in
his
Garden
,
was
a
rich
man
,
upright
and
just
in
all
his
Actions
,
a
Senator
of
Ierusalem
,
and
one
that
expected
the
Kingdom
of
God
;
born
at
Arimathea
,
a
City
of
the
Iews
,
Luc.
23.
This
City
was
sometime
called
Ramathaim
Sophim
,
and
sometime
Ramah
,
because
it
was
scituated
in
a
high
place
,
and
in
times
past
was
a
fair
City
standing
16
miles
from
Ierusalem
toward
the
North-west
,
the
description
whereof
you
may
read
before
.
At
this
day
it
is
called
Ramalea
;
being
nothing
so
fair
as
it
was
,
but
like
a
Country
Town
,
the
Houses
being
carelesly
dispersed
here
and
there
,
lying
without
Walls
or
Bulwarks
to
defend
it
;
notwithstanding
,
the
ancient
ruines
of
the
former
City
is
to
be
seen
even
at
this
day
.
There
is
also
a
great
Inn
or
resting
place
for
Strangers
,
having
within
it
many
Rooms
for
the
receipt
of
Passengers
,
and
a
Well
of
very
sweet
Water
.
This
House
was
first
purchased
at
the
charge
of
Philip
Duke
of
Burgundy
,
and
by
him
committed
to
the
protection
of
the
Monks
of
Mount
Sion
,
by
whom
it
is
at
this
day
made
an
Hospital
,
wherein
Pilgrims
,
Travellers
,
and
Strangers
,
are
entertained
,
and
find
much
relief
.
In
an
inward
Orchard
belonging
to
this
Hospital
,
there
is
a
fair
plat
of
Ground
that
bringeth
forth
great
abundance
of
Aloes
,
of
which
there
is
often
mention
in
the
holy
Scriptures
,
but
more
especially
in
Psalm
48.
Thy
Garments
smell
of
Aloes
and
Cassia
,
when
thou
comest
out
of
thy
Ivory
Palaces
,
where
they
have
made
thee
glad
.
Nicodemus
,
a
Prince
of
the
Iews
,
together
with
Ioseph
of
Arimathea
,
brought
with
them
an
hundred
pound
of
Aloes
mixed
with
Myrrh
,
to
embalm
the
Body
of
our
Saviour
Christ
,
when
they
had
begged
it
of
Pilate
,
before
they
buried
it
,
Ioh.
19.
Myrrh
is
a
kind
of
Gum
that
issueth
out
of
a
Tree
that
grows
in
the
East
Countries
,
but
principally
in
Arabia
.
The
Tree
out
of
which
it
issueth
is
commonly
two
Yards
and
a
half
high
,
with
some
Pricks
upon
it
,
the
Bark
whereof
being
cut
,
there
issueth
out
of
it
drops
like
Tears
,
which
congealeth
into
a
Gum
,
and
is
called
Myrrh
:
The
principal
Vertue
that
it
hath
,
is
to
keep
the
Bodies
of
the
dead
incorruptable
,
see
Pli.

&

In
Arabia
Foelix
there
is
such
abundance
of
sweet
Myrrh
,
Frankincense
,
and
other
odoriferous
Gums
,
that
such
as
Sail
in
the
red
Sea
may
easily
smell
the
savour
of
them
.
There
is
also
found
in
the
Holy
Land
Myrrh
and
Aloes
.
Aloes
is
the
juyce
of
a
certain
bitter
Herb
,
which
by
some
is
called
Everliving
:
it
killeth
the
Worms
,
and
preserveth
from
Putrifaction
;
it
is
also
good
for
the
Sight
.
There
is
to
be
gathered
in
India
,
Arabia
,
and
the
Holy
Land
,
a
certain
Herb
of
an
extraordinary
sweet
smell
,
with
Leaves
broad
,
fat
and
juycy
,
which
being
press'd
yieldeth
more
Aloes
than
Honey
;
from
whence
this
metaphorical
Proverb
is
used
,
Quod
plus
molestiae
quam
voluptatis
gignit
,
that
is
,
more
troublesome
than
profitable
.
You
may
read
also
in
Plautus
,
that
the
Life
of
Man
tasteth
more
of
Aloes
than
Honey
;
and
Iuvenal
speaking
of
an
evil
Wife
,
saith
,
she
hath
more
of
Aloes
than
Honey
.
So
Euripides
,
Every
sweet
hath
his
sowre
.
So
also
the
Holy
Cross
seemeth
to
have
more
of
Aloes
than
Honey
,
notwithstanding
it
preserveth
us
from
eternal
Corruption
,
and
killeth
the
venemous
Worms
of
Conscience
,
cleanseth
us
from
our
Sins
,
and
freeth
us
from
the
fear
of
the
Devil
and
eternal
Death
,
that
so
we
might
be
recreated
,
and
by
the
Faith
of
our
Saviour
be
raised
up
at
the
last
day
,
and
partake
with
him
in
his
everlasting
Kingdom
:

The
Travels
of
Peter
.
IN
the
thirty
fifth
year
after
the
Nativity
of
Christ
,
about
the
Month
of
Ianuary
,
and
a
little
before
the
Conversion
of
the
Apostle
Paul
;
Peter
and
Iohn
were
sent
from
Ierusalem
to
Samaria
,
being
thirty
two
miles
,
that
the
Samaritans
might
receive
that
admirable
gift
of
the
Holy
Ghost
,
and
there
they
disputed
with
Simon
Magus
,
Acts
8.
From
Samaria
they
returned
back
again
to
Ierusalem
,
which
was
thirty
two
miles
.
In
this
Jonrney
they
went
to
divers
Towns
of
the
Samaritans
,
teaching
and
preaching
unto
them
the
Doctrine
of
the
Gospel
,
Acts
8.
In
the
sixth
year
after
the
Resurrection
of
Christ
,
Peter
went
to
Lidda
,
which
was
distant
from
Ierusalem
twenty
miles
towards
the
North-East
;
where
he
cured
Aeneas
,
who
had
lain
sick
eight
years
of
the
Palsie
upon
his
Bed
,
Acts.
9.
From
thence
he
went
to
Ioppa
,
which
was
three
miles
:
here
he
raised
Tabitha
from
Death
,
Acts
9.
In
the
seventh
year
after
the
Resurrection
of
Christ
,
Peter
went
from
Ioppa
and
came
to
Caesarea
Strato
,
which
was
six
and
thirty
miles
:
where
he
preached
the
Gospel
to
Cornelius
the
Centurion
,
and
baptized
him
and
his
whole
Family
,
Acts.
10.
Clemens

.

From
Caesarea
he
returned
to
Ierusalem
,
being
thirty
two
miles
;
where
being
accused
for
going
to
the
Gentiles
,
he
excused
himself
,
Acts
11.
In
the
eleventh
year
after
the
Resurrection
of
Christ
,
he
was
cast
into
Prison
,
and
set
at
liberty
by
an
Angel
of
God
,
Acts
12.
So
he
went
secretly
from
Ierusalem
(
as
it
was
thought
)
into
the
Desart
,
or
to
some
other
unknown
place
:
upon
the
second
day
of
August
in
the
same
year
,
Herod
Agrippa
King
of
the
Iews
was
struck
by
an
Angel
of
God
at
Caesarea
,
and
he
was
devoured
of
Worms
,
Acts

After
,
Herod
Agrippa
being
dead
and
buried
,
Peter
returned
to
Ierusalem
,
where
he
was
in
Council
with
the
rest
of
the
Apostles
,
about
sixteen
years
after
the
Resurrection
of
Christ
,
and
fourteen
after
the
Conversion
of
Paul
,
Gal.
2.
Acts
15.
See
also
Bede
upon
the
Acts
of
the
Apostles
.
In
the
seventeenth
year
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
he
went
to
Babylon
in
Egypt
,
where
he
wrote
his
first
Epistle
:
this
Journey
was
520
miles
.
So
all
his
Travels
which
are
mentioned
in
the
Scripture
were
955
miles
.
Allegations
of
the
Author
to
prove
that
Peter
was
never
at
Rome
.
BUT
that
Peter
was
twenty
five
years
seven
Months
and
five
days
Bishop
and
Chief
Priest
of
Rome
,
cannot
be
proved
by
the
testimony
of
the
Scripture
,
and
is
utterly
repugnant
to
the
supputation
and
true
accompt
of
the
times
.
First
,
Because
it
is
manifest
by
that
which
hath
been
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
Martyrdom
of
Stephen
,
he
and
Iohn
were
sent
into
Samaria
,
that
the
Samaritans
might
also
receive
the
gift
of
the
Holy
Ghost
,
Acts
8.
Paul
also
in
the
third
year
after
his
Conversion
,
came
to
Ierusalem
,
and
there
spoke
with
Peter
,
and
remained
with
him
fifteen
days
,
Acts
9.
Gal.
1.
Fourteen
days
after
the
Conversion
of
Paul
,
Peter
was
at
the
Apostolical
Council
held
in
Ierusalem
;
and
there
,
with
Iames
and
Iohn
gave
the
right
hand
of
Fellowship
to
Paul
and
Barnabas
,
that
they
should
go
and
preach
the
Gospel
unto
the
Gentiles
,
and
that
he
and
the
rest
would
go
to
the
Iews
and
those
that
were
circumcised
,
Gal.
2.
In
the
time
of
Claudius
Caesar
,
Peter
was
committed
to
Prison
by
Herod
Agri●pa
in
Ierusalem
,
and
miraculously
delivered
by
the
Angel
of
God
,
Acts
10.
In
the
ninth
year
of
Claudius
Caesar
,
Peter
was
at
Antiochia
in
Syria
,
where
Paul
resisted
him
to
his
face
,
Gal.
2.
All
these
things
manifestly
prove
that
the
Apostle
Peter
was
not
at
Rome
at
such
time
as
any
of
these
three
,
viz.
Tiberius
,
Caligula
,
and
Claudius
were
Emperours
;
but
either
in
Ierusalem
,
or
else
at
Antiochia
in
Syria
.
Secondly
,
it
may
exactly
be
made
evident
out
of
the
holy
Scriptures
,
that
Peter
was
not
at
Rome
in
the
time
of
Nero.
For
,
in
the
second
year
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
City
,
by
name
,
as
by
the
conclusion
of
the
Epistle
more
plainly
appeareth
;
but
there
is
no
mention
of
the
Apostle
Peter
,
who
(
if
at
that
time
Bishop
of
that
place
)
surely
should
not
have
been
omited
.
Also
,
in
the
fifth
year
of
Nero
,
Paul
being
then
in
Prison
at
Rome
,
wrote
his
Epistles
to
the
Galatians
,
Ephesians
,
Philip●ians
,
Colossians
,
and
to
Philemon
;
and
in
the
conclusion
of
these
Epistles
he
expresly
nameth
all
his
Friends
that
he
had
in
Rome
,
yet
makes
no
mention
of
Peter
.
And
when
he
was
the
second
time
in
Prison
under
Nero
,
in
the
last
year
of
the
Reign
of
this
Emperour
,
he
wrote
from
Rome
his
second
Epistle
to
Timothy
,
being
a
little
before
his
death
:
at
the
end
of
which
Epistle
he
plainly
shews
,
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
never
at
Rome
:
how
then
can
it
possibly
be
,
that
Peter
should
be
Bishop
of
Rome
for
the
space
of
almost
twenty
six
years
?
Truly
there
are
many
learned
men
,
and
they
also
of
great
Judgment
,
which
hold
this
Opinion
false
,
and
utterly
repugnant
to
Holy
Scripture
,
neither
can
be
proved
by
any
good
Authors
or
Histories
.
But
if
Peter
were
ever
at
Rome
,
he
came
thither
after
the
last
Imprisonment
of
Paul
,
and
a
few
years
before
his
Martyrdom
.

were
crowned
with
the
Wreath
of
Martyrdom
,
and
with
their
Blood
sealed
the
Truth
of
the
Gospel
.
But
there
are
others
of
Opinion
,
that
Peter
never
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
doubtful
,
and
not
greatly
material
,
I
leave
it
to
the
Reader
's
consideration
Of
the
Towns
and
Places
to
which
he
travelled
.
Of
Samaria
.
BEcause
I
have
before
briefly
intreated
of
the
Beginning
and
Foundation
of
this
City
,
I
shall
not
need
here
again
to
repeat
it
.
I
will
now
therefore
shew
the
end
of
it
,
which
was
principally
caused
by
the
obstinancy
of
the
Inhabitants
:
who
refusing
the
Doctrine
and
Prophecy
of
Elias
and
Elizeus
,
imbraced
and
followed
strange
Gods
,
and
offered
Incense
unto
Idols
;
whereby
the
wrath
of
God
was
kindled
against
them
,
insomuch
,
that
he
left
this
goodly
City
as
a
Prey
to
the
Gentiles
and
Foreign
Nations
,
that
carried
the
People
thereof
into
Captivity
;
where
,
for
a
long
time
,
they
remained
in
great
misery
.
After
the
first
desolation
,
because
the
Country
round
about
this
City
was
very
fertile
and
pleasant
,
abounding
with
Springs
,
Rivers
,
Vines
,
Olive
Gardens
,
Mountains
,
fruitful
Vallies
,
fair
Cities
,
and
strong
Castles
and
Towns
.
Herod
Ascalonites
(
that
great
King
of
the
Iews
,
who
put
to
death
the
innocent
Children
)
re-edified
it
,
set
up
many
goodly
buildings
,
beautified
with
Marble
Pillars
and
pleasant
Walks
:
And
also
in
the
circuit
of
the
Kings
House
,
and
under
the
buildings
of
the
Nobility
in
the
common
Market-place
,
the
Houses
and
Vaults
were
supported
with
Marble
Pillars
,
according
to
the
manner
of
the
Iews
.
The
Palace
(
called
the
Kin●s
House
)
stood
in
the
midst
of
the
City
,
upon
the
top
of
the
Mountain
:
and
round
about
it
there
were
divers
other
buildings
set
up
,
but
much
lower
,
even
about
the
descent
of
the
Mountain
;
yet
scituated
,
that
the
Inhabitants
might
see
out
of
their
Houses
the
Country
round
about
.
Then
close
to
the
Palace
,
in
the
upper
part
of
the
City
,
he
caused
a
Temple
to
be
built
in
honor
of
Augustus
.
Thus
having
finished
the
inside
,
he
compass'd
it
about
with
a
mighty
Wall
,
and
upon
that
placed
many
Turrets
:
and
then
to
flatter
Augustus
,
called
it
by
the
name
of
Sebasten
,
which
among
the
Grecians
signifies
Augustum
&
venerabile
Principem
:
now
although
this
City
was
very
glorious
and
spacious
in
those
times
(
for
it
was
three
miles
about
)
yet
at
this
day
it
is
utterly
ruined
and
destroyed
,
insomuch
,
that
there
is
not
a
House
standing
,
two
Churches
only
excepted
,
which
were
built
in
honour
of
St.
Iohn
Baptist
:
and
the
chief
of
these
,
which
was
the
Cathedral
Church
,
the
Saracens
have
converted
to
their
use
,
so
that
at
this
day
Mahomet
is
worshipped
in
it
.
In
this
stood
the
Sepulchre
of
St.
Iohn
Baptist
,
cut
out
in
Marble
,
like
the
Sepulchre
of
Christ
,
where
(
as
Hierom
saith
)
he
lieth
buried
between
Elisha
and
Obediah
the
Prophets
.
This
Church
stands
upon
the
side
of
the
Mountain
,
in
the
descent
.
The
Saracens
do
principally
reverence
St.
Iohn
.
Baptist
next
after
Christ
,
and
they
affirm
the
Virgin
Mary
to
have
conceived
by
the
holy
Spirit
,
and
not
by
the
Seed
of
Man
:
That
St.
Iohn
was
the
greatest
Prophet
(
except
Christ
)
that
ever
was
.
They
also
believe
Christ
to
be
the
Son
of
God
,
but
not
to
be
equal
with
God
.
Yet
they
prefer
Mahomet
before
both
,
because
they
hold
him
a
Messenger
sent
from
God
,
not
unto
all
Men
,
but
only
unto
the
Saracens
and
Turks
,
and
their
Subjects
.
The
other
Church
,
which
stood
in
Samaria
,
was
upon
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
Humanity
,
and
furnished
them
with
many
Necessaries
.
But
the
City
of
Samaria
it self
hath
been
so
often
overthrown
,
and
brought
to
such
extream
misery
,
that
almost
all
the
Ground
where
it
stood
is
at
this
time
converted
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
,
and
the
whole
City
wherein
he
dwelt
,
which
was
the
strength
of
his
Kingdom
,
into
an
Olive
Garden
.
There
are
not
so
many
ruins
found
through
all
the
Land
of
Iudaea
(
though
there
have
been
many
worthy
Cities
destroyed
)
as
are
in
this
place
at
this
day
.
The
scituation
of
this
City
was
very
beautiful
;
for
a
man
might
have
seen
from
it
to
the
Sea
of
Ioppae
and
Antipatris
,
also
to
Caesarea
Palestina
,
and
thorough
all
the
Mountain
of
Ephraim
,
to
Ramatha
Sophim
,
and
so
to
Mount
Carmel
and
the
City
of
Ptolomais
.
Of
Lidda
.
THIS
City
was
scituated
not
far
from
Ioppa
,
upon
the
shore
of
the
Mediterranean
Sea
,
20
miles
from
Ierusalem
North-w●●●ward
.
In
this
City
Peter
healed
Aeneas
,
who
had
been
sick
eight
years
of
the
Palsie
.
At
this
day
there
is
nothing
to
be
seen
but
the
Church
of
St.
George
,
who
was
beheaded
by
the
Emperour
Dioclesian
,
for
professing
the
Christia●
F●ith
.
The
Grecians
call
this
Town
Diospolis
,
i.
An
holy
Town
.
And
the
Turks
account
St.
George
for
a
valiant
Knight
and
holy
man
.
Of
Caesarea
Strato
.
THIS
City
was
scituated
upon
the
shore
of
the
Mediterranean
Sea
,
some
32
miles
from
Jerusalem
North-ward
:
in
ancient
time
it
was
called
Strato
,
being
first
built
by
Strato
King
of
Sidon
.
But
time
having
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
built
a
fair
Haven
to
oppose
the
violence
of
the
Sea
.
This
Haven
was
so
wonderfully
co●trived
and
set
up
at
such
a
great
charge
,
that
it
was
admirable
to
look
upon
;
for
he
laid
the
foundation
of
it
twenty
yards
under
Water
,
burying
in
the
deep
Stones
of
an
extraordinary
greatness
,
some
fifty
foot
long
,
eight
foot
thick
,
and
ten
foot
broad
,
and
many
of
them
more
.
The
Haven
it self
was
beautified
with
fair
Buildings
and
goodly
Walls
,
supported
with
Marble
Pillars
and
mounted
up
aloft
,
so
that
you
might
see
the
Ships
as
they
were
upon
the
Sea
,
and
made
way
to
his
Harbour
.
The
entrance
into
it
was
upon
the
North
:
at
the
mouth
thereof
there
stood
three
mighty
Colosses
upon
Marble
Pillars
.
He
also
placed
upon
the
Wall
of
the
City
towards
the
Haven
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
joyned
to
this
Haven
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
far
from
it
.
Upon
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
he
caused
the
Statue
of
Augustus
(
curiously
wrought
and
cast
just
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
up
by
this
King
.
But
amongst
the
rest
,
he
bestowed
great
cost
upon
the
Market-place
,
the
Theatre
and
the
Amphitheatre
,
which
he
wonderfully
beautified
,
and
instituted
certain
Games
to
be
there
used
once
every
fifth
year
in
Honour
of
Augustus
,
as
Ioseph
de
Bell.

After
the
death
of
this
King
,
Herod
Agrippa
was
made
King
of
the
Jews
.
This
Prince
,
some
ten
years
after
the
Resurrection
of
Christ
,
caused
James
the
Son
of
Zebedeus
,
upon
the
25
day
of
July
to
be
put
to
death
in
Jerusalem
;
and
when
he
perceived
it
was
acceptable
unto
the
Jews
,
in
the
following
year
,
about
the
the
Feast
of
the
Passover
he
caused
Peter
to
be
cast
into
Prison
;
who
by
the
Prayers
of
the
Church
was
miraculously
delivered
,
as
you
may
read
Acts
12.
A
little
after
,
that
is
,
about
the
month
of
August
,
this
King
was
struck
by
the
Angel
of
the
Lord
,
and
died
miserably
:
for
when
he
came
to
Caesarea
Strato
,
he
caused
the
publick
Shews
to
be
solemnly
practised
,
and
in
honour
of
Claudius
Caesar
set
forth
very
sumptuous
Interludes
and
Plays
;
to
which
Feast
and
Shews
all
the
Nobility
and
Gentry
of
that
Country
round
about
resorted
.
Where
the
next
day
,
very
early
in
the
Morning
,
having
put
on
a
rich
and
goodly
Garment
,
made
all
of
Cloath
of
Gold
,
he
went
into
the
Theatre
;
and
there
,
according
to
his
usual
custom
,
sat
in
a
princely
Seat
,
and
made
an
Oration
to
the
Inhabitants
of
Tyre
.
Now
when
the
Sun
was
up
and
shone
upon
his
Garments
,
the
Rays
ther●of
cast
such
a
reflection
upon
the
beholders
,
that
it
dazled
their
Eyes
,
insomuch
that
they
could
scarce
see
.
Wherefore
those
that
were
his
Flatterers
,
hearing
his
gracious
Speech
,
cried
with
a
loud
Voice
,
O
Agrip●a
!
be
propitious
unto
us
;
for
although
heretofore
we
feared
thee
as
a
Man
,
yet
now
we
well
perceive
thou
art
of
a
more
Noble
and
Divine
Nature
.
But
when
the
King
(
taking
delight
in
these
speeches
)
would
not
restrain
the
impious
clamour
of
these
flatterers
,
a
little
after
he
lifted
up
his
head
,
and
upon
the
top
of
a
Pillar
he
saw
an
Owl
sitting●over
him
.
Presently
he
was
troubled
in
his
mind
,
and
within
a
while
after
he
was
struck
with
an
extream
pain
in
his
Bowels
,
insomuch
,
that
with
a
loud
Voice
he
cried
unto
his
Friends
,
I
,
whom
but
now
was
called
your
God
,
am
but
a
Man
;
and
him
that
you
imagined
to
be
immortal
,
must
presently
die
.
These
Words
being
ended
,
they
carried
him
sick
into
his
Palace
,
and
it
was
given
out
that
he
was
dead
.
No
sooner
came
this
News
to
the
Ears
of
the
Vulgar
,
but
they
with
their
Wives
and
Children
put
on
sack-cloath
,
and
fell
upon
the
Ground
with
earnest
Supplications
to
God
to
be
merciful
unto
him
.
But
the
King
looking
out
of
his
Window
,
and
seeing
them
lie
thus
prostrate
upon
the
Earth
,
wailing
and
weeping
,
he
could
not
abstain
from
Tears
.
At
length
,
after
he
had
been
cruelly
tormented
by
the
space
of
four
days
,
upon
the
fifth
died
,
being
the
second
of
August
,
the
Worms
having
consumed
his
Guts
,
and
eaten
through
his
Body
.
Thus
God
greviously
punished
him
,
who
had
so
much
afflicted
the
Members
of
the
Church
of
Christ
:
but
towards
other
Men
,
as
well
Strangers
as
Gentiles
,
he
was
mild
and
courteous
.
He
reigned
in
the
whole
,
almost
seven
years
;
for
he
held
the
Tetrarchy
of
Philip
three
years
under
Caligula
,
and
other
four
years
he
held
the
whole
Kingdom
of
the
Iews
.
He
died
in
the
eleventh
year
after
the
Resurrection
,
and
in
the
third
of
Claudius
Caesar
,
being
then
about
54
years
of
age

Pliny
saith
,
that
this
Town
of
Caesarea
Strato
was
sometime
called
Apollonia
,
but
after
obtained
the
name
of
Caesarea
Palestina
.
Saint
Ierom
saith
,
in
his
Epitaph
upon
Paul
,
that
in
his
time
(
which
was
400
years
after
Christ
)
there
was
to
be
seen
in
this
place
the
House
of
Cornelius
the
Centurian
,
whom
Peter
baptized
,
Act.
10.
(
This
Cornelius
is
thought
by
some
to
have
been
of
the
Family
of
Lentuli
in
Rome
,
for
they
were
also
called
Cornelii
,
as
appeareth
in
Salust
in
the
conspiracy
of
Cataline
:
and
it
may
be
,
that
this
Cornelius
was
that
Lentulus
which
wrote
to
Tiberius
Caesar
that
excellent
Epistle
,
concerning
the
figure
,
proportion
,
and
person
of
our
Lord
and
Saviour
Jesus
Christ
)
Also
the
House
of
Philip
the
Deacon
,
and
the
Chambers
of
his
four
Daughters
,
who
were
Prophetesses
.
When
Paul
came
unto
this
Town
,
Agabus
the
Prophet
came
unto
him
,
who
bound
his
Hands
and
Feet
with
the
Girdle
of
Paul
,
saying
,
The
Man
that
oweth
this
Girdle
shall
be
thus
bound
by
the
Iews
at
Ierusalem
,
and
they
shall
deliver
him
into
the
Hands
of
the
Gentiles
.
Here
he
made
a
notable
Sermon
before
Festus
Agrippa
,
Iunior
,
and
his
Sister
Bernice
,
Act.
16.
This
Town
flourished
for
a
long
time
after
the
Destruction
of
Ierusalem
,
and
it
was
scituated
in
a
fair
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
abundance
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
Martyrdom
,
for
professing
the
Gospel
of
Christ
,
as
Eusebius
,
Bishop
of
this
Town
and
of
Pamphilius
,
well
observeth
in
his
Eccles.
Hist.
But
the
Lord
did
so
sharply
revenge
the
death
of
these
men
,
that
at
this
day
it
is
utterly
destroyed
,
and
there
is
not
a
house
left
,
though
in
times
past
it
had
been
a
Bishop's
See
.
There
was
also
another
Town
built
by
Philip
the
Tetrarch
,
called
Caesarea
Philippi
,
whereof
you
may
read
before
.
Of
Ioppa
.
COncerning
this
Town
I
have
already
shewed
many
things
in
the
Travels
of
Ionas
,
but
omitted
some
,
specified
by
Brittenbach
and
Dr.
Ranwolfe
,
who
have
described
the
holy
Land
as
it
was
in
the
year
of
our
Lord
1575.
which
Authors
affirm
,
that
there
is
seen
a
great
Chain
of
Iron
fastened
to
a
certain
Rock
,
to
the
which
Ships
that
lay
in
that
Harbour
were
sometimes
tied
.
Also
the
Chain
wherewith
Andromda
was
fast
bound
to
a
stone
,
when
she
should
have

of
the
Sea
Monster

Also
they
say
that
there
is
a
Chappel
at
this
day
built
up
in
the
place
where
sometime
the
house
of
Simon
the
Tanner
stood
,
who
gave
entertainment
to
Peter
,
standing
by
a
Rock
close
by
the
Sea
side
,
and
dedicated
to
St.
Peter
.
But
for
the
rest
of
the
Town
(
although
formerly
it
hath
been
a
goodly
City
)
it
is
utterly
destroyed
,
nothing
standing
but
a
part
of
the
Wall
,
and
two
Castles
upon
the
Haven
to
defend
such
as
come
thither
with
Ships
,
from
the
Injuries
and
Incursions
of
the

Of
Babylon
in
Aegypt
.
BAbylon
signifieth
Confusion
,
as
you
may
read
before
.
There
were
two
Cities
of
this
name
;
the
one
was
in
Chaldaea
,
and
the
other
in
Egypt
.
That
in
Chaldaea
was
scituated
upon
the
River
Euphrates
;
and
this
upon
the
River
Nilus
,
being
244
miles
from
Ierusalem
toward
the
South-West
,
and
called
in
the
Arabian
Tongue
Alcair
or
Cair
,
whether
you
please
,
which
also
signifieth
Confusion
.
Concerning
both
which
Cities
you
may
read
more
at
large
in
their
former
description
.
From
this
Town
it
is
credibly
thought
(
and
not
from
that
Town
which
stood
in
Chaldaea
)
Peter
wrote
his
first
Epistle
,
as
the
circumstances
of
the
History
do
evidently
declare
:
for
that
Babylon
which
stood
in
Chaldaea
was
in
the
time
of
Peter
utterly
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
read
in
the
end
of
this
Epistle
.
Wherefore
that
Opinion
which
some
would
have
to
pass
for
truth
,
that
Peter
wrote
his
first
Epistle
from
Rome
,
calling
it
allegorically
Babylon
,
is
utterly
to
be
condemned
,
since
there
is
none
who
can
certainly
prove
that
conjecture
,
neither
is
it
grounded
upon
any
firm
foundation
;
for
although
Babylon
in
the
Revelation
of
S.
John
(
because
it
was
a
secret
Prophecy
)
was
allegorically
used
;
yet
in
a
plain
and
manifested
history
such
kind
of
Allegories
are
not
allowed
.
From
whence
may
be
concluded
,
that
S.
Peter
wrote
his
first
Epistle
from
this
Babylon
,
not
from
Rome
.

The
Description
of
the
Towns
and
places
to
which
John
travelled
.
Of
Ephesus
.
THIS
was
the
Metropolitan
City
of
Ionia
,
scituated
in
Asia
Minor
,
544
miles
from
Ierusalem
North-westward
.
It
was
built
(
saith
Strabo
)
by
Androclus
the
Son
of
Codrus
King
of
Athens
,
in
the
time
of
David
King
of
Israel
;
and
because
of
the
beautiful
scituation
and
fer●ility
of
the
Soil
called
Ephesus
:
in
future
Ages
growing
into
such
credit
and
estimation
,
that
it
was
mightily
increased
and
became
one
of
the
most
famous
Mart
Towns
in
all
Asia
;
but
it
stood
somewhat
low
,
so
that
the
Sea
brake
in
upon
it
and
drowned
it
,
and
many
of
the
Inhabitants
perished
.
Nevertheless
Lysimachus
King
of
Thrace
built
it
up
again
in
the
same
place
where
now
it
stands
,
and
called
it
Arsinoes
,
after
his
Wives
name
.
But
he
being
dead
,
it
was
again
called
by
the
antient
name
Ephesus
.
There
were
many
worthy
Men
that
lived
in
it
,
as
Heraclitus
,
Scotinus
and
Hermadorus
,
who
,
for
his
excellent
understanding
and
singular
honesty
,
was
banished
.
Hipponachus
also
the
Poet
,
Perrhasius
and
Apelles
the
Painters
,
Alexander
the
Orator
and
Theodotio
a
Iew
,
who
interpreted
the
Bible
.
It
was
in
ancient
times
inhabited
by
the
Amazons
,
whose
Queen
kept
her
court
there
,
and
wonderfully
increased
and
adorned
it
with
fair
and
beautiful
Buildings
.
Here
also
that
notable
Temple
dedicated
to
Diana
,
which
as
Strab.
saith
,
li.
14.
Plin.
li.
36.
c.
14.
was
220
years
a
building
.
It
stood
upon
Morish
Ground
to
avoid
the
danger
of
Earth-quakes
.
There
were
in
it
127
Pillars
,
erected
by
so
many
Kings
;
among
which
there
were
36
that
were
curiously
sicled
,
and
artificially
carved
and
ingraven
:
It
was
425
foot
long
,
and
120
broad
.
There
were
so
many
Gifts
and
Gratuities
sent
from
all
the
Cities
and
Kings
round
about
,
toward
the
building
of
this
Temple
,
that
the
Riches
and
Treasure
thereof
was
wonderful
;
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
extraordinary
charge
that
it
was
almost
unvaluable
,
was
set
on
fire
by
one
Herostratus
a
wicked
and
perverse
Fellow
,
(
in
the
same
Olympiad
and
Day
that
Alexander
the
Great
was
born
)
who
having
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
evil
)
he
might
get
a
name
.
But
the
Ephesians
were
so
incensed
because
of
this
Mischief
,
that
they
procured
Proclamation
to
be
made
through
all
the
Kingdoms
round
about
,
that
his
name
should
not
be
once
mentioned
:
which
perhaps
for
a
time
was
observed
,
but
in
future
ages
they
could
not
prevent
it
,
but
that
he
was
both
spoken
of
and
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
Citizens
contributing
with
willing
hands
to
the
charge
of
the
building
:
insomuch
that
the
Women
brought
all
their
Silver
,
Gold
,
and
other
pretious
Ornaments
,
and
communicated
them
towards
this
great
Work
.
Also
in
after
times
those
fair
Pillars
before
spoken
of
,
were
again
erected
;
towards
the
rebuilding
whereof
they
received
so
many
and
wonderful
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
St.
Paul's
time
,
who
came
thither
about
twelve
years
after
the
Resurrection
of
our
Saviour
,
and
continued
there
three
years
;
in
which
time
he
so
faithfully
,
and
diligently
preached
the
Gospel
,
that
he
converted
most
of
the
Citizens
from
their
Idolatry
and
Worship
of
Diana
,
to
the
reverend
Knowledge
and
Confession
of
our
blessed
Saviour
.
For
which
cause
,
Demetrius
the
Silver
Smith
(
who
made
a
great
gain
by
Idolatry
)
stirred
up
a
great
tumult
;
so
that
the
Gentiles
running
up
and
down
the
City
for
two
hours
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
wrote
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
,
being
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
and
persevere
in
the
Christian
Faith
and
Religion
to
the
end
.
To
conclude
,
Iohn
the
Evangelist
came
also
to
Ephesus
,
and
wrote
his
Gospel
against
the
Heretick
Cerinthus
,
who
denyed
Christ
to
be
the
true
God
;
for
which
cause
God
grievously
punished
him
,
so
that
he
died
as
he
was
bathing
himself
in
a
Bath

This
was
the
first
Church
to
which
Iohn
wrote
his
Revelation
;
and
there
,
when
he
returned
out
of
Pathmos
,
he
raised
his
Host
Drusana
from
death
to
life
.
So
when
he
had
governed
the
Churches
in
Asia
thirty
years
,
after
the
death
of
Paul
he
died
,
when
he
was
ninety
one
years
old
,
and
was
honourably
buried
at
Ephesus
,
not
far
from
the
City
.
There
was
also
another
Iohn
that
liv'd
in
Ephesus
,
to
whom
(
as
many
think
)
the
Epistles
of
Iohn
the
Evangelist
were
dedicated
,
as

It
was

in

,
540
miles
from

This
was
a
very
fair
City
,
beautified
with
many
goodly
buildings
,
and
of
good
account
in

.
It
was
at

a

to

he
was

But
after
his
death
,
his
Works
beginning
to
grow
famous
,
the
Cities

contended
who
should
Patronize
him
.
The
Colophonians
claim
a
part
in
him
,
because
he
was
in
that
Town
,
and
there
made
some
of
his
Odysses
.
They
of
Chios
say
he
belonged
to
them
,
because
he
lived
there
a
long
time
,
and
taught
School
.
But
for
ought
that
can
be
found
by
Authors
,
the
Smyrnians
have
most
interest
in
him
.
Nevertheless
I
leave
him
to
them
that
please
to
Patronize
him
,
since
it
is
not
certainly
found
where
he
lived
.
He
lived
about
900
years
before
Christ
.

that
in
after-times
this
City
grew
very
famous
,
and
was
so
much
inlarged
that
it
became
a
Bishops
See
,
whereof
Polycar●us
,
a
very
godly
and
Religious
man
,
was
Bishop
.
He
governed

place
at
such
time
as

Evangelist
wrote
his

,

is
called
the
Angel
of
the
Church
of
Smyrna
.
This
man
,
after
he
had
faithfully
preached
the
Gospel
for
the
space
of
86
years
,
was
by
the
Inhabitants
thereof
condemned
to
death
for
the
profession
of
Christ
,
Anno
170.
But
the
town
of
Smyrna
,
because
of
the
unthankfulness
and
cruelty
of
the
Inhabitants
,
was
grievously
punished
;
for
within
ten
years
it
was
cast
down
by
an
Earth-quake
,
since
which
time
,
it
was
hardly
rebuilt
again
.

because
of
the
golden
Veins
that
are
found
therein
,
call
it
Crysorrhoas
,

A
little
after
that
,
there
was
such
an
extreme
Plague
happened
in
Rome
,
that
they
were
constrained
to
carry
out
the
dead
Bodies
in
Carts
.
Thus
God
turneth
the
Air
and
the
Earth
to
the
confusion
of
those
that
persecute
his
Church
.
Of
Pergamus
.
THIS
was
another
of
the
Towns
whereto
Iohn
wrote
his
Revelation
.
It
was
a
famous
City
,
and
Metropolitan
of
Mysia
,
scituated
in
Asia
minor
,
228
miles
from
Ierusalem
North-westward
.
It
stood
upon
a
high
Rock
close
by
the
River
Caicus
,
from
whence
it
was
called
Pergamus
.
For
in
ancient
times
all
famous
and
notable
places
were
called
amongst
the
Graecians
Pergama
,
as
Suidas
and
Servius
observe
.
Strabo
lib.
13.
saith
,
that
in
the
time
of
Lysimachus
the
Son
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
usually
kept
all
his
Treasure
,
and
those
things
that
were
of
account
,
and
committed
the
custody
of
it
unto
one
named
Philetaerus
,
an
Eunuch
of
Tyanus
.
But
this
man
being
accused
to
Lysimacus
,
that
he
would
have
forced
his
Wife
Arsinoes
,
for
fear
of
some
future
punishment
because
of
that
Offence
,
moved
the
Inhabitants
of
that
Hold
to
Rebellion
.
At
the
same
time
also
there
happened
many
Commotions
in
Asia
,
whereby
Lysimachus
was
constrained
to
leave
this
,
and
make
opposition
against
Seleucus
Nicanor
,
who
had
invaded
his
Dominions
;
But
in
this
War
Lysimachus
was
slain
.
And
Philetaerus
,
having
in
his
possession
great
Riches
,
that
he
might
enjoy
what
he
had
,
was
always
observant
to
him
that
got
the
Victory
,
by
which
means
he
kept
himself
and
his
Riches
for
the
space
of
20
years
in
that
Castle
;
and
then
died
,
and
left
all
his
Wealth
to
Eumenes
,
his
brothers
Son
,
who
inlarged
his
Government
,
and
overcame
Antiochus
the
Son
of
Seleucus
.
This
Man
,
after
he
had
reigned
32
years
,
died
,
and
Attalus
his
Son
succeeded
him
in
the
Government
:
who
having
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
Romans
against
Antiochus
magnus
,
King
of
Syria
;
for
which
service
the
Romans
gave
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
years
,
he
died
,
and
left
his
Kingdom
to
his
Son
Attalus
,
called
Philometor
.
This
Attalus
,
after
he
had
done
many
notable
exploits
,
died
without
issue
,
when
he
had
reigned
five
years
,
and
left
his
Kingdom
to
the
Romans
,
who
turned
it
into
a
Province
.
There
lived
in
this
Town
many
learned
Men
,
as
Galen
the
Physician
,
who
was
famous
in
the
time
of
Trajan
the
Emperour
,
and
(
as
the
Fame
went
)
lived
140
years
.
Of
that
Town
also
was
Apollodorus
the
Rhetorician
,
who
was
School-Master
to
Augustus
Caesar
,
of
which
man
the
Apollodorean
Sect
took
Name
,
and
Dionysius
Atticus
his
Scholar
.
Here
Antipas
was
crowned
with
the
Wreath
of
Martyrdom
.
To
the
Bishop
of
this
Town
Iohn
wrote
his
Revelation
,
and
in
the
second
Chapter
thereof
sharply
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
Nicholaus
,
one
of
the
seven
Deacons
for
the
Poor
at
Antiochia
,
of
whom
you
may
read
,
Act.
6.
was
the
first
Author
of
this
Sect
:
yet
Clem.
Alexand.
clears
him
of
it
,
laying
that
Offence
rather
on
certain
idle
Persons
,
that
misconstruing
his
Words
,
being
given
over
to
vile
Affections
,
covered
their
Evils
under
his
Name
,
calling
themselves
Nicholaites
,
though
indeed
he
had
no
hand
in
it
,
but
lived
and
died
honestly
.
The
Opinion
that
this
Sect
held
(
as
Euseb.
saith
,
li.
3.
ca.
23.
and
Irenaeus
,
lib.
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
perverse
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
wrote
his
Revelation
:
it
was
scituated
close
by
the
River
Caicus
,
upon
the
Borders
of
Mysia
and
Lydia
,
600
miles
from
Ierusalem
North-eastward
.
It
was
a
very
fair
City
in
Asia
minor
,
yet
subject
to
the
Lydians
.
In
this
Country
Lidda
was
born
,
that
dwelt
at
Philippa
,
and
gave
entertainment
to
Paul
and
Sylas
,
Act.
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
,
King
of
Syria
,
(
making
War
upon
Lysimachus
King
of
Thrace
)
coming
to
this
Town
,
had
News
that
his
Wife
had
bore
him
a
Daughter
;
in
honour
whereof
he
would
needs
have
the
Town
called
Thugateira
,
which
in
Greek
signifies
a
Daughter
;
but
Thyatira
,
Divine
Reverence
.
Of
Sardis
.
TO
this
City
also
St.
Iohn
wrote
his
Revelation
.
It
was
a
famous
and
Princely
Seat
,
scituated
in
Asia
not
far
from
the
Mountain
Tmolus
,
where
Croesus
King
of
the
Lydians
kept
his
Court
,
being
536
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
North-west
.
It
was
so
called
(
without
doubt
)
of
Sardus
the
Son
of
Hercules
,
which
maketh
Sardis
in
the
plural
number
.
Of
this
Town
were
those
two
Diodories
which
were
Orators
.
The
Younger
of
them
did
write
Histories
and
Poems
,
and
was
one
of
Strabo's
great
Friends
.
Close
by
this
Town
is
found
a
precious
Stone
,
which
after
the
Towns
Name
is
called
Sardis
:
it
is
of
a
fleshly
Colour
,
and
therefore
is
commonly
called
Carnalia
;
of
which
you
may
read
more
in
Pliny
,
lib.

cap.

Of
Philadelphia
.
SAINT
Iohn
also
wrote
his
Revelation
to
this
City
.
It
was
scituated
in
My●●a
;
a
Country
in
Asia
Minor
;
being
450
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
North-west
.
This
City
is
so
often
troubled
with
Earth-quakes
,
that
the
Inhabitants
are
many
times
constrained
to
dwell
in
the
open
Fields
.
Upon
the
East
side
thereof
lies
a
dry
and
barren
Country
,
which
seemeth
to
be
burnt
and
scorch'd
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
yeild
very
pleasant
Wine
,
and
may
compare
with
the
best
of
those
Parts
.
The
Superficies
of
the
Earth
seemeth
like
Ashes
,
mountainy
,
stony
,
and
black
:
many
conjecture
the
cause
thereof
to
be
by
reason
of
the
great
Thunders
and
Lightning
that
they
have
there
;
but
there
are
some
which
give
other
reasons
for
it
.
It
was
called
Philadelphia
of
Attolus
Philodelphius
who
first
built
it
.
Of
Laodicea
.
THIS
was
the
seventh
and
last
City
that
Iohn
directed
his
Revelation
to
.
It
stood
close
by
the
River
Lycus
in
Caria
,
a
Country
in
Asia
the
less
,
five
hundred
and
twenty
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
North-west
;
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
hallow
Caves
under
the
Earth
,
into
which
the
Air
(
in
the
time
of
heat
)
having
free
entrance
,
then
closeth
up
again
,
so
that
it
can
find
no
passage
out
;
it
striveth
with
continual
motion
to
make
way
through
the
Earth
,
by
which
means
the
Earth
trembleth
and
shaketh
:
and
look
how
much
the
deeper
these
Vaults
are
under
the
Earth
,
so
much
the
more
violent
are
the
Earth-quakes
;
by
which
means
,
Cities
are
oftentimes
utterly
overthrown
and
ruined
,
sometimes
the
Earth
sinketh
,
and
Ponds
and
Rivers
are
swallowed
up
.
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
fertility
of
the
Soile
,
and
pleasant
scituation
,
it
of
a
sudden
became
a
fair
City
,
beautified
with
many
fair
and
goodly
Houses
,
wherein
there
dwelt
many
wealthy
Citizens
,
so
that
for
their
Nobility
and
Worthiness
it
was
accounted
the
most
famous
Town
in
all
Asia
.
Here
Hiero
dwelt
who
divided
his
Inheritance
among
the
Citizens
,
and
over
and
above
he
gave
them
two
thousand
Talents
of
Gold
,
besides
many
other
Gifts
and
Gratuities
,
to
adorn
and
beautifie
the
City
.
After
him
there
lived
Zeno
the
Orator
,
and
Polemon
his
Son
;
who
for
his
noble
Acts
was
first
by
Antonio
,
and
then
by
Augustus
Caesar
,
honoured
with
the
Dignity
of
a
King
,
as
Strabo
witnesseth
,
lib.
12.
This
Laodicea
,
Colossis
,
and
Hierapolis
,
where
the
Apostle
Philip
was
crucified
,
were
sunk
by
an
Earth-quake
,
about
the
tenth
year
of
Nero
,
and
a
little
before
the
Martyrdom
of
Paul
.
There
were
three
Cities
called
after
this
Name
;
that
is
,
this
which
stood
in
Caria
(
to
which
Paul
never
came
;
as
appeareth
in
the
second
Chapter
to
the
Colossians
;
)
a
second
stood
in
Phrigia
,
where
Paul
wrote
his
Epistle
to
Timothy
;
and
a
third
in
Syria
,
near
to
Antiochia
,
Seleucia
,
and
Apamea
.
The
Travels
of
Philip.
THEN
a
little
after
the
Martyrdom
of
Stephen
,
which
hapned
in
the
Month
of
Ianuary
,
thirty
and
five
Years
after
the
Nativity
of
Christ
)
Philip
,
which
was
one
of
the
seven
Deacons
with
Stephen
,
Act.
6.
went
from
Ierusalem
to
Samaria
,
which
was
thirty
and
two
miles
:
and
in
many
Cities
of
the
Samaritans
preached
the
Gospel
,
and
did
many
Miracles
;
at
which
time
he
converted
Simon
Magus
,
Act.
8.
From
Samaria
he
went
to
Bethzur
,
which
was
scituated
forty
and
four
miles
towards
the
South
:
here
Philip
baptised
the
Aethiopian
who
was
Queen
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
Strat●
,
which
was
44
miles
.
So
all
his
Travels
were
136
miles
.
Concerning
the
Towns
and
Places
mentioned
in
his
Travels
,
you
may
read
of
them
in
several
places
mentioned
before
.
The
Travels
of
the
Aethiopian
which
was
Eunuch
to
Queen
Candaces
,
who
kept
her
Court
in
Saba
.
FROM
Saba
or
Meroe
in
Aethiopia
,
this
Eunuch
came
to
Ierusalem
,
which
was
about
964
miles
,
Act.
4.
From
Ierusalem
he
came
to
the
Town
of
Bethzur
,
which
was
12
miles
:
here
he
was
baptised
by
Philip
in
the
Month
of
Ianuary
,
the
next
Year
after
the
Resurrection
of
Christ
.
From
thence
he
returned
to
Saba
in
Aethiopia
,
which
was
952
miles
.
So
all
his
Travels
were
1928
miles
.
Of
Saba
.
THIS
City
is
before
mentioned
:
and
at
this
time
when
the
Eunuch
came
to
Ierusalem
,
Candaces
governed
it
and
a
great
part
of
Aethiopia
,
Tiberius
Caesar
being
then
Emperour
of
Rome
.
She
was
a
very
warlike
Woman
,
but
blind
of
one
Eye
,
as
Strabo
saith
,
lib.
6.
and
Pliny
,
lib.
6.
cap.
29.
In
whose
time
the
City
Saba
was
called
Meroe
,
and
the
Queens
,
for
many
Successions
,
Candaces
;
because
of
the
worthiness
of
those
Queens
which
had
been
of
that
Name
.
This
Woman
was
very
well
beloved
of
her
Subjects
,
and
was
very
gracious
towards
them
,
as
Suidas
saith
.
To
this
Queen
the
Eunuch
which
Philip
baptised
was
chief
Steward
;
and
no
doubt
spread
the
Christian
Faith
in
many
places
of
those
parts
.
An
Introduction
to
the
Travels
of
Saint
Paul
.
NOW
before
I
enter
upon
the
Travels
of
the
Apostle
Paul
,
I
thought
it
fit
to
make
a
Collection
of
all
the
Countries
,
Islands
,
and
Cities
,
wherein
he
taught
:
so
that
they
which
are
skillful
in
Geometry
or
Cosmography
,
might
discern
their
Longitudes
,
Latitudes
,
and
several
distances
,
according
to
the
Degrees
and
Scruples
hereafter
following

The
Travels
of
the
Holy
Apostle
St.
Paul
,
with
an
exact
annotation
of
the
Times
.
PAVL
was
born
at
Tarsus
in
Cicilia
,
about
the
tenth
year
of
the
Nativity
of
our
Saviour
;
and
was
near
about
the
age
of
St.
Iohn
the
Evangelist
,
as
the
circumstances
of
Histories
do
declare
.
After
he
grew
to
some
Bigness
,
he
was
sent
by
his
Parents
from
thence
to
Ierusalem
,
being
304
miles
;
where
he
had
not
been
long
brought
up
with
Gamaliel
(
which
signifies
,
The
Recompence
of
God
)
Act.
22.
but
he
became
the
Disciple
of
Simon
the
Just
,
Luke
2.
Act.
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
St.
Stephen
,
who
was
stoned
about
the
end
of
the
four
and
thirtieth
Year
after
the
Nativity
of
Christ
,
Act.
1.
at
which
time
also
St.
Iohn
the
Evangelist
was
but
four
and
twenty
years
of
Age.
If
therefore
you
would
observe
the
Age
of
the
Apostle
Paul
in
this
following
discourse
of
his
Travels
,
deduct
ten
from
the
Years
after
the
Nativity
of
our
Saviour
Christ
,
and
the
Remainder
is
his
Age.
At
his
Circumcision
he
was
called
Saul
,
that
is
,
a
mortal
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
lowness
of
their
Stature
,
and
smallness
of
their
Body
;
as
Carolus
Sigonius
observeth
.
In
the
●
Year
after
the
Nativity
of
Christ
,
Paul
was
an
Inquisitor
for
private
Heresie
,
and
a
cruel
Persecutor
of
the
Gospel
.
The
next
Year
he
went
from
Ierusalem
to
Damascus
in
Syria
,
which
was
160
miles
;
in
which
Journey
(
about
the
25
day
of
Ianuary
)
he
was
converted
;
and
upon
the
28
day
of
Ianuary
was
baptised
by
Ananias
.
So
he
stayed
some
few
days
in
Damascus
,
and
taught
the
Gospel
of
Christ
,
Act.
9.
&
22.
In
the
same
Year
that
he
was
converted
,
the
Iews
,
and
those
that
were
Enemies
to
the
Gospel
,
went
about
by
deceit
to
take
his
Life
;
wherefore
he
went
from
Damascus
to
Arabia
Petraea
,
which
was
160
miles
;
here
he
continued
teaching
the
Gospel
by
the
space
of
three
Years
,
that
is
,
from
the
beginning
of
the
35
to
the
end
of
the
37
year
after
the
Nativity
of
Christ
,
Act.
9.
In
the
38
Year
after
the
Nativity
of
Christ
he
returned
from
Arabia
Petraea
and
came
to
Damascus
;
which
was
160
miles
;
and
there
he
diligently
taught
the
Gospel
of
Christ
.
But
when
in
the
same
Year
Araeta
King
of
Arabia
went
about
to
put
him
secretly
to
death
,
he
was
let
down
in
a
Basket
over
the
Wall
,
and
so
went
from
Damascus
to
Ierusalem
,
which
was
160
miles
:
and
when
he
came
thither
he
brought
Barnabas
to
the
Apostles
,
and
shewed
them
his
Conversion
,
and
remained
with
Peter
fifteen
days
preaching
the
Gospel
.
At
this
time
he
saw
Iames
the
Son
of
Alpheus
and
Brother
of
our
Lord
,
Acts
9.
2
Cor.
11.
Galat.
1.
But
when
his
Adversaries
that
were
at
Ierusalem
went
about
secretly
to
put
him
to
death
,
he
went
from
Ierusalem
and
was
brought
by
the
Brethren
to
Caesarea
Strato
,
which
was
32
miles
,
Act.
9.
About
the
38
Year
after
the
Nativity
of
Christ
he
went
thence
into
Syria
to
Tarsus
,
a
City
of
Cilicia
,
which
was
272
miles
;
here
he
continued
some
Years
teaching
the
Gospel
of
Christ
,
Gal.
1.
2.
Cor.
11.
In
the
41
Year
after
the
Nativity
of
Christ
,
and
about
the
seventh
Year
of
his
Ministry
,
he
was
brought
by
Barnabas
from
Tarsus
to
Antiochia
in
Syria
,
which
was
120
miles
.
At
this
time
,
and
in
this
Town
,
all
those
that
believed
in
Christ
began
to
be
called
Christians
,
whereas
before
they
were
called
Disciples
and
Brothers
,
Acts
11.
These
things
hapned
in
the
eighth
year
after
the
Resurrection
of
Christ
;
about
this
time
also
Matthew
wrote
his
Gospel
,
and
Agabus
prophesied
of
the
universal
Dearth
that
should
happen
under
Claudius
,
Act.
11.
In
the
42
year
after
the
Nativity
of
Christ
,
Paul
being
then
at
Antiochia
.
and
about
32
years
of
age
,
was
wrap'd
up
into
the
third
Heaven
,
14
years
before
he
wrote
his
second
Epistle
to
the
Corinthians
,
2
Cor.
12.
In
the
43
year
after
the
Nativity
of
Christ
,
the
Famin
whereof
Agabus
prophesied
,
being
now
begun
,
he
went
with
the
gifts
of
the
Church
from
Antiochia
to
Ierusalem
,
which
was
280
miles
:
this
year
Iames
the
Elder
was
beheaded
at
the
Command
of
Agrippa
,
Act.
11.
&
12.
In
the
44
year
after
the
Nativity
of
Christ
,
Paul
and
Barn●bas
with
Peter
,
were
delivered
out
of
Prison
by
the
Angel
of
the
Lord
.
Now
having
distributed
the
Gifts
of
the
Church
,
he
returned
in
the
Company
of
Iohn
Mark
,
from
Ierusalem
to
Antiochia
,
which
was
280
miles
.
So
these
Travels
were
1928
miles
.
Of
the
Towns
and
Places
to
which
he
travelled
.
Of
Cilicia
.
BEcause
you
may
read
of
Syria
before
,
I
will
omit
it
,
and
proceed
to
speak
of
Cilicia
.
This
was
a
Country
in
Asia
the
less
,
so
called
(
as
some
would
have
it
)
from
Cilix
the
Kings
Son
of
Phoenicia
;
compassed
in
upon
the
East
with
the
Mountain
Amanus
;
upon
the
North
with
the
Mountain
Taurus
;
upon
the
West
by
Pamphilia
;
and
upon
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
divided
into
two
parts
,
that
is
,
into
Cilicia
the
higher
and
the
lower
:
Cilicia
the
higher
aboundeth
with
Mountains
,
the
lower
is
a
plain
Champian
Country
very
fertile
and
pleasant
.
The
principal
Cities
thereof
are
Tarsus
,
where
the
Apostle
Paul
was
born
,
and
where
the
River
Cydnus
runs
through
the
midst
of
it
;
Issus
,
where
Alexander
overcame
Darius
,
last
Emperour
of
the
Persians
;
Anazarba
,
where
Dioscorides
,
that
excellent
Physician
was
born
,
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
every
side
with
Mountains
,
but
principally
with
the
Mountain
Taurus
(
famous
for
the
fertility
of
it
,
and
the
passage
of
Alexander
with
his
Army
,
who
at
the
time
he
conquered
Darius
,
went
through
the
streight
passages
thereof
,
being
both
dangerous
and
difficult
)
and
watered
with
many
Rivers
that
take
their
beginning
from
that
Mountain
,
and
so
passeth
Southward
through
all
Cilicia
,
falling
then
into
the
Mediterranean
Sea
.
Of
Galatia
.
GALATIA
,
or
Gallo-Graecia
,
is
a
Country
of
Asia
Minor
,
distant
from
Ierusalem
400
miles
;
having
upon
the
hast
Cappadocia
,
upon
the
South
Pamphilia
,
upon
the
West
Byth●ia
,
and
on
the
North
the
Euxine
Sea
.
The
Cities
of
this
Country
were
anciently
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
honour
,
and
was
fetch'd
thence
by
the
Romans
.
This
was
a
famous
Mart
Town
as
(
Livy
saith
li
29.
)
Laodicea
,
Tavius
,
and
Ancyra
,
where
there
was
held
a
notable
Synod
:
and
in
this
large
and
spacious
Country
also
stood
Antiochia
Pisidia
;
for
the
Galatians
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
Galatians
)
are
said
to
be
a
People
of
France
,
who
joyning
themselves
to
the
Cy●brians
,
Danes
and
Germans
,
under
the
conduct
of
Brennus
their
Captain
,
invaded
Italy
;
in
which
Enterprise
they
were
so
fortunate
that
they
conquered
a
great
part
of
it
,
wherein
they
planted
Colonies
:
and
because
of
their
nearness
to
their
own
Country
,
in
process
of
time
grew
mighty
;
and
from
that
beginning
,
the
Country
where
they
inhabited
was
called
Cice-alpine-Gallia
;
taking
that
name
partly
of
the
Place
,
partly
of
the
People
.
After
,
Brennus
and
his
Army
making
use
of
their
Fortunes
,
sorraged
all
Italy
and
came
to
Rome
,
which
they
won
and
sack'd
,
all
but
the
Capitol
,
and
that
also
was
in
great
danger
,
until
such
time
as
Camillus
(
a
valiant
Roman
Captain
)
taking
advantage
of
the
Enemies
Security
(
who
now
took
more
care
how
to
satisfie
their
Covetousness
than
to
defend
what
they
had
got
)
of
a
sudden
set
upon
them
;
by
which
unexpected
Invasion
they
were
put
to
a
marvellous
straight
,
and
the
Besieged
greatly
incouraged
;
so
that
they
also
issuing
out
of
the
Capitol
,
made
such
a
Slaughter
,
that
they
forced
Brennus
and
his
Army
to
retire
,
and
to
restore
all
the
Pillage
that
he
had
got
,
and
also
forsake
the
Country
.
This
Misfortune
they
bore
patiently
,
considering
their
former
Prosperity
,
and
in
hope
of
better
Success
,
●ailed
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
)
weak
to
oppose
their
Army
.
In
this
Expedition
they
used
much
Pillage
and
robbing
upon
the
Seas
;
and
through
many
dangers
came
at
length
to
this
Isle
,
landed
their
Men
,
won
the
City
,
fired
a
great
part
of
it
,
and
put
many
of
the
Inhabitants
to
the
Sword
:
with
this
Victory
,
most
of
his
Army
which
were
more
Religious
than
the
rest
,
would
have
willingly
left
the
Country
;
but
Brennus
,
who
before-times
had
been
used
to
Sacriledge
,
and
those
that
were
as
covetous
as
himself
,
thought
it
Baseness
through
an
Opinion
of
Holiness
to
leave
so
great
a
Booty
behind
them
as
was
contained
in
the
Temple
of
A●ollo
,
(
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
up
in
the
secret
Caves
of
this
Oracle
)
wherefore
they
attempted
the
Assault
,
but
with
bad
Success
,
for
the
Devil
raised
such
a
Tempest
,
with
Thundring
,
Lightning
,
and
other
strange
and
uncouth
Accidents
,
that
Brennus
in
this
Distemperature
of
the

,
was

slain
,
many
of
his
Ships
were
set
on
fire
,
and
the
greatest
part
of
his
Army
lost
,
being
either
spoiled
with
Lightning
,
slain
by
the
Inhabitants
,
or
dispersed
with
Fear
:
such
Event
had
this
sacrilegious
Attempt
.
Those
that
remained
,
after
they
had
gathered
themselves
into
a
Body
,
went
thence
into
Asia
the
less
,
and
planted
themselves
in
this
Country
;
where
the
Inhabitants
,
in
process
of
time
called
them
Gall●-Graecians
,
adding
their
original
name
to
that
of
the
Country
wherein
they
lived
:
and
after
,
for
beauties
sake
,
they
were
called
Galatians
,
See
Liv.
lib.
5.
Diodorus
Siculus
,
lib.
6.
saith
,
That
the
Inhabitants
of
Galatia
were
so
called
of
this
People
,
in
the
time
that
Gideon
judged
Israel
,
and
that
Cyrus
was
Emperour
of
Persia
;
both
may
be
true
,
considering
the
mutability
and
change
of
States
in
those
times
.
Some
think
they
were
first
called
Galatians
by
Attalus
King
of
Pergamus
,
(
who
gave
them
a
great
overthrow
close
by
the
River
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-Gracian
or
Gallatians
.
This
History
is
diversly
reported
by
divers
Authors
;
but
all
conclude
that
they
rested
and
inhabited
in
Asia
,
where
their
Posterity
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
only
by
their
Sword
;
for
which
cause
,
many
Princes
near
them
were
beholding
unto
them
for
their
Aid
:
but
withal
,
cruel
and
barbarous
,
insomuch
as
they
oftentimes
eat
their
Captives
,
or
offered
them
to
their
Gods
;
and
thus
they
continued
for
the
space
of
300
years
,
till
Paul
coming
into
that
Country
,
preached
the
Gospel
amongst
them
,
and
converted
them
from
this
Barbarism
to
the
Christian
Faith
:
he
sent
an
Epistle
to
this
People
from
Rome
,
being
1200
miles
.
They
in
those
times
held
all
Paphlagonia
,
a
part
of
Phrygia
,
Cappadocia
,
and
of
all
the
neighbouring
Countries
thereabouts
,
which
after
their
names
was
called
Gallo-Graecia
or
Galatia
:
such
a
mighty
Nation
was
this
grown
in
a
short
time
,
at
first
being
a
People
shut
out
of
their
own
Country
for
want
of
a
place
to
inhabit
in
,
as
you
may
read
more
at
large
in
the
fifth
Book
of
Livie
,
whose
Authority
I
have
princippally
followed
herein
.
Of
Phrygia
.
PHryga
is
as
much
as
to
say
,
a
dry
and
sandy
Country
,
scituated
in
Asia
the
less
,
between
Galatia
and
Mysia
,
600
miles
from
Ierusalem
North-westward
.
It
is
divided
into
two
parts
,
the
greater
and
the
less
:
in
the
greater
Phrygia
stood
Smyrna
;
in
the
less
Dardania
,
so
called
of
Dardanus
who
first
built
it
:
in
which
Town
there
reigned
many
wealthy
and
mighty
Princes
as
Ericthoin●
,
Tros
,
of
whom
it
was
called
Troy
,
Ilus
of
whom
it
was
called
Ilion
,
Laomedon
who
was
the
Father
of
Priamus
the
last
King
thereof
;
for
in
his
time
it
was
destroyed
by
the
Grecians
.
Of
which
Desolation
I
will
not
speak
because
it
is
commonly
known
.
It
lay
wast
so
long
(
although
it
had
been
a
fair
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
Ruines
,
to
shew
that
there
had
been
a
City
in
that
place
.
And
as
Virgil
said
,
Iam
seges
est
ubi
Troja
fuit
,
Corn
now
grows
where
Troy
stood
.
A
long
time
after
there
were
a
certain
People
that
called
themselves
Trojans
,
who
rebuilt
it
,
but
not
in
the
same
place
,
and
in
it
erected
a
goodly
Temple
in
honour
of
the
Goddess
Pallas
to
the
which
Temple
,
Alexander
the
Great
(
after
he
had
conquered
Darius
King
of
Persia
close
by
the
River
Granicus
,
which
took
beg●nning
in
a
Mountain
not
far
from
Troy
)
went
,
and
with
singular
Gladness
and
great
Solemnity
,
offered
many
rich
and
goodly
Presents
,
enlarged
the
Town
,
and
greatly
adorned
.
But
after
he
had
ended
the
Persian
War
,
and
conquered
almost
all
the
known
World
,
he
sent
very
kind
and
loving
Letters
to
these
new
Trojans
,
promising
not
only
to
inlarge
the
Town
,
and
indow
it
with
many
Priviledges
and
Revenues
but
also
to
build
up
a
fair
and
sumptuous
Temple
there
,
as
Strabo
lib.
15.
saith
:
all
which
was
done
for
the
love
he
bore
to
Homers
Iliads
.
Wherefore
look
what
Alexander
had
promised
,
Lysimacus
(
one
of
his
chief
Princes
,
and
King
of
Thrace
)
after
his
death
performed
;
for
he
returned
to
Troy
,
enlarged
the
City
,
beautified
it
with
goodly
Buildings
,
set
up
a
stately
Temple
,
and
then
compass'd
it
about
with
strong
Walls
.
After
this
sort
it
continued
a
long
time
,
untill
Fimbria
a
Questor
of
the
Romans
(
when
he
had
slain
Vallerius
Flaccus
the
Consul
,
with
whom
he
was
sent
,
against
Mithridates
King
of
Pontus
)
besieged
it
and
within
ten
days
space
won
it
;
making
his
Vaunts
,
that
he
conquered
that
City
in
ten
days
,
which
Agamemnon
could
scarce
do
in
ten
years
;
to
which
one
of
the
Inhabitants
of
the
City
answered
,
that
then
Troy
had
a
Hector
,
but
now
it
had
none
.
But
for
this
he
cruelly
wasted
the
City
.
This
destruction
happened
in
the
84
year
before
Christ
:
thus
it
lay
desolate
till
Augustus
Caesar's
time
,
who
caused
it
again
to
be
re-edified
and
beautified
with
many
fair
and
goodly
Buildings
,
because
the
Romans
,
and
especially
those
noble
Families
of
the
Iulii
and
Caesars
do
derive
their
Progeny
from
the
Trojans
:
for
which
cause
,
Augustus
used
such
diligence
in
the
rebuilding
of
this
City
,
and
bestowed
such
infinite
cost
,
that
he
much
exceeded
Alexander
,
and
made
it
a
fair
and
goodly
City
.
At
this
day
it
is
called
Ilium
.
But
in
the
place
of
old
Troy
there
is
little
to
be
seen
,
only
a
small
Town
,
as
Strabo
saith
.
It
is
distant
from
Ierusalem
760
miles
,
North-westward
.
Of
Bythinia
.
THIS
Country
is
opposite
to
Constantinople
,
scituated
in
Asia
minor
,
distant
from
Ierusalem
North-westward
,
and
so
called
of
Bythinus
the
Son
of
Iupiter
and
Thrax
.
It
was
sometime
called
Pontus
,
Bebrycia
,
and
Mygdonia
,
as
Stephanus
saith
.
In
this
Country
the
Apostle
Paul
could
not
preach
the
Gospel
of
Christ
when
he
went
into
Macedonia
and
Graecia
,
because
he
was
hindred
by
the
Spirit
,
Act.
16.
The
principal
Cities
thereof
were
Calcidon
,
Heraclea
,
Nicea
,
Nicodemia
,
Apamea
,
Flaviopolis
,
Libissa
(
where
Hannibal
lieth
buried
)
and
Prusa
,
now
called
Brysa
,
where
in
times
past
the
Enperours
of
Turky
kept
their
Courts
,
and
were
buried
.
The
Mother
and
Metropolis
of
all
these
Cities
was
Nicea
,
or
rather
Nicaea
,
being
distant
from
Ierusalem
720
miles
towards
the
North-west
;
at
the
first
called
Antigonia
,
of
Antigonus
the
Son
of
Philip
King
of
Asia
,
who
built
it
after
the
death
of
Alexander
the
Great
.
But
Lysimacus
called
it
Nicaea
,
after
his
Wifes
name
,
and
at
this
day
it
is
called
Nissa
.
The
compass
thereof
is
two
miles
,
being
four
square
,
scituated
(
as
Strabo
saith
,
lib.
12.
)
in
a
fair
and
pleasant
place
,
lying
close
by
the
Pool
of
Ascania
,
and
hath
in
it
four
Gates
standing
in
a
direct
line
;
all
which
Gates
might
easily
have
been
seen
from
a
certain
Stone
which
stood
in
the
middle
of
the
Market-place
.
In
this
City
the
most
Christian
Emperour
Constantine
the
Great
celebrated
a
Councel
,
Anno
Dom.
325.
at
which
time
there
were
present
320
Bishops
,
who
condemned
the
Arrian
Heresie
,
and
instituted
the
Nicene
Creed
.
But
after
that
,
viz.
Anno
Dom.
326.
the
Arrians
endeavouring
to
hold
a
second
Councel
in
this
City
,
to
confirm
their
Opinions
,
and
to
dissolve
that
which
went
before
,
the
Lord
hindred
them
with
an
Earth-quake
,
by
which
almost
half
the
City
was
thrown
down
.
Not
long
after
,
there
happened
another
Earth-quake
which
utterly
destroyed
it
:
Notwithstanding
it
was
rebuilt
again
,
and
in
it
a
second
Councel
held
,
wherein
the
Nicene
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
River
Varus
,
a
fourth
(
as
Stephans
saith
)
is
amongst
the
Lorrenses
in
Graecia
,
a
fifth
in
Illeria
,
a
sixth
in
India
,
a
seventh
in
Corsica
,
and
the
eighth
in
Leuctris
of
Boetia
.
Of
Mysia
.
THIS
is
a
Country
of
Asia
the
less
,
bordering
upon
Hellespont
and
Troada
;
being
divided
into
two
parts
,
that
is
,
the
greater
and
the
less
.
That
part
that
bordereth
upon
Troada
,
is
distant
from
Ierusalem
800
miles
North-westward
:
but
that
which
is
called
Mysia
the
less
,
and
bordering
upon
Lydia
,
is
1028
miles
from
Ierusalem
North-westward
.
In
this
Country
stood
Pergam
,
to
which
Iohn
wrote
his
Revelation
;
Scepsis
where
one
Neleus
kept
the
Books
of
Aristotle
till
Apollonius
time
;
also
Antandrus
,
Adramitium
,
Tranoiapolis
,
and
A●ollonia
,
which
stood
close
by
the
River
Thyndaeus
.
The
Inhabitants
were
Men
of
a
base
condition
,
and
contemned
of
the
World
,
insomuch
as
they
became
a
Proverb
,
as
often
as
a
Man
would
denote
a
thing
of
no
estimation
,
they
would
say
Vi●imum
esse
myliorum
,
that
is
,
It
is
worse
than
the
Mysians
,
as
it
appeareth
in
Cicero's
oration
for
Flaccus
Yet
notwithstanding
,
Paul
and
Iohn
the
Evangelist
preached
the
Doctrine
and
Light
of
the
Gospel
to
this
poor
and
despised
People
,
so
that
the
Mysians
,
which
were
a
contemptable
and
abominable
Nation
before
all
the
World
,
were
not
so
before
God
,
for
they
were
converted
at
the
preaching
of
Iohn
and
Paul
.
From
whence
he
saith
,
Not
many
Wise
according
to
the
flesh
,
not
many
mighty
,
not
many
noble
;
but
God
hath
chosen
the
foolish
things
of
this
World
,
that
they
might
confute
and
overthrow
the
Wise
,
&c.
1.
Cor.
1.
Intimes
past
they
were
a
great
People
,
though
of
small
estimation
,
for
they
had
under
their
jurisdiction
,
Lydia
,
Caria
,
Pergamus
,
Thyatira
,
Sardis
,
Philadelphia
,
and
Laodicea
;
to
many
of
which
Iohn
wrote
his
Revelation
.
Also
(
as
Herodotus
saith
,
lib.
7.
)
the
Mysians
and
Teucrians
,
before
the
Trojan
War
,
past
into
Europe
,
and
there
won
and
held
Thracia
,
Macedonia
,
and
all
the
Land
of
the
Adriatick
Sea
&c.
Of
Troas
.
THIS
City
Troas
,
where
Paul
raised
Eutichus
(
which
signifies
Happy
or
Fortunate
)
from
death
to
life
,
Act.
10.
stood
upon
the
Sea
of
Hellespont
in
Asia
the
less
,
720
miles
from
Ierusalem
North-westward
.
Antigonus
King
of
Asia
called
it
Troas
,
because
it
was
in
the
Country
where
Troy
was
.
But
after
the
death
of
Alexander
he
called
it
after
his
own
name
Antigonia
:
and
the
better
to
honour
it
,
kept
his
Court
there
.
But
Lysimachus
King
of
Thrace
having
got
this
City
into
his
Jurisdiction
,
bestowed
great
cost
upon
it
,
and
set
up
many
fair
and
goodly
Buildings
,
then
called
it
after
Alexander's
name
,
Alexandria
,
and
so
it
began
to
be
called
Alexandria
Troas
,
Plin.
lib.
5.
Strabo
lib.
13.
Ier.
de
locis
Hebraicis
:
Now
it
was
called
Alexandria
Troas
,
to
put
a
difference
between
it
and
divers
other
Cities
of
that
name
,
for
there
was
an
Alexandria
in
Aegypt
,
another
in
India
,
and
many
others
elsewhere
;
but
only
this
in
the
Country
where
Troy
stood
.
It
was
scituated
in
a
high
and
spacious
Mountain
,
about
a
mile
and
a
half
from
the
Shore
of
Propontus
towards
the
East
,
between
which
and
Troas
is
twenty
eight
miles
.
It
is
a
thing
worthy
Observation
,
to
consider
by
what
divers
names
the
Sea
that
lies
between
Europe
and
Asia
the
less
is
called
,
for
between
Constantinople
and
Calcidonia
,
close
by
the
Euxine
Sea
it
is
called
Thrascius
Bosphorus
,
in
which
place
it
is
not
above
half
a
mile
broad
:
here
Xerxes
,
when
he
invaded
Graecia
,
built
up
a
Bridge
for
his
Army
to
pass
over
.
There
is
also
another
streight
and
narrow
place
in
this
Sea
,
which
is
called
by
the
name
of
Cimmeriu
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
derive
the
name
from
Io
,
that
fair
Maid
which
Iupiter
turned
into
a
Cow
,
who
swam
over
this
Sea
,
and
of
her
was
called
Bosphorus
,

It
is
also
called
Pro●ontus
,
because
it
lieth
just
before
the
Euxine
Sea
;
and
Hellespont
from
Helle
the
Daughter
of
Athamantis
King
of
Thebes
who
was
drowned
therein
;
then
running
thence
it
falleth
into
a
Gulph
of
the
Mediterranean
Ocean
,
and
there
it
is
called
the
Aegean
Sea
,
of
Aegeus
King
of
Athens
,
who
drowned
himself
therein
for
the
supposed
loss
of
his
Son
Theseus
.
In
this
Sea
were
scituate
the
Isles
of
Pathmos
,
Mytelene
,
Samothrace
,
Chius
,
Lesbus
,
and
many
other
Isles
,
as
you
may
read
in
the
Travels
of
St.

Of
Samothracia

Samothrace

between
Troades
and
Thracia

eight
hundred
and
eighty
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
North-west
,
close
to
that
part
of
Thracia
where
Hebrus
falleth
into
the
Sea
;
sometimes
called
Dardani●
of
Dardanus
King
of
Troy
,
who
when
he
had
slain
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
City
called
Troy
,
and
of
that
Kingdom
.
And
although
this
Isle
at
that
time
was
called
Dardania
,
yet
because
of
the
nearness
that
it
had
to
Thrace
,
and
the
altitude
of
the
Rock
whereon
it
stood
,
it
soon
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
upon
such
a
lofty
place
,
that
from
thence
all
the
Countries
round
about
might
easily
be
seen
.
Arsinoe
Queen
of
Thrace
was
banished
by
Ptolomeus
her
Brother
,
into
this
Island
,
who
after
put
to
death
all
her
Children
,
and

It
is
said
,
St.
Paul
sailed
from
Troadis
to
Samothracia
,
and
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
Macedonia
,
880
miles
from
Ierusalem
North-westward
,
called
also
of
some
Caurus
.
There
are
many
other
Cities
of
this
name
;
one
in
Iudea
,
where
Sichem
and
Sicha●
stood
;
another
in
Caria
,
a
third
in
Africa
,
a
fourth
in
Pannonia
;
but
above
all
,
that
which
stands
in
Campania
is
most
remarkable
,
being
the
chief
City
of
the
Neapolitan
Kingdom
.
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
year
before
Christ
354
,
to
be
re-edefied
and
inlarged
,
and
then
after
his
own
name
called
it
Philippos
.
It
was
scituated
in
Grecia
close
by
the
River
Stridon
,
926
miles
from
Ierusalem
toward
the
North-west
,
and
indowed
with
many
Priviledges
.
In
those
times
the
Gold
was
so
much
increased
in
this
place
,
that
the
Revenue
thereof
was
worth
to
this
King
more
than
a
thousand
Talents
,
which
at
4500
l.
the
Talent
,
amounteth
to
forty
five
millions
of
pounds
yearly
.
By
the
which
means
King
Philip
grew
so
rich
,
that
he
caused
his
Gold
to
be
coined
,
and
called
it
after
his
own
name
,
Philippian
Gold
.
To
this
place
Paul
came
,
and
did
many
Miracles
,
taught
the
Gospel
,
and
converted
many
.
From
hence
he
wrote
his
second
Epistle
to
the
Corinthians
,
and
sent
it
to
Corinth
;
even
292
miles
.
He
also
wrote
an
Epistle
from
Rome
to
the
Christians
of
this
Town
,
and
sent
it
them
by
the
hand
of
Epaphroditus
,
even
628
miles
.
It
was
afterward
a
Colony
of
the
Romans
.
Of
Amphipolis
.
THIS
was
a
City
of
Macedonia
,
compassed
about
with
the
River
Strymon
,
from
whence
it
took
the
name
;
and
was
distant
from

also
the

THIS
was
a
City

towards
the
West
,
close
by
the
River
Echedorus
,

miles
from
Ierusalem
towards

North-west
:
being
so
called
from
Appollines
,
which
signifies

It
stood
twenty
miles
from
Thessalonica
.
There
are
many
other
Cities
of
this
name
;
one
scituate
in
Grecia
,
close
by
the
Adriatick
Sea
;
another
among
Islands
of

and
a
fifth

.
Of
Thessalonia
or
Thessalonica
.
THIS
was
a
City
of
Macedon
,
in
ancient
times
called
Halia
,
because
it
stood
upon
the
Sea
;
after
called
Therma
,
of
the
hot
Baths
that
were
in
it
;
and
lastly
,
Thessalonica
,
of
Philip
the
Son
of
Amintas
King
of
the
Macedonians
,
who
gave
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
by
the
Thermaick
Gulph
,
not
far
from
the
Mouth
of
the
River
Echedorus
932
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
North-west

The
Apostle
Paul
taught
publickly
in
this
City
,
and
there
converted
a
great
multitude
of
People
,
Act.
17.
He
also
wrote
two
Epistles
to
the
Inhabitants
thereof
,
and
sent
them
from
Athens
,
being
232
miles
distant
.
In
the
time
of
Theodosius
,
the
first
Emperour
of
Rome
,
there
hapened
,
by
reason
of
some
Discontent
,
a
grievous
Sedition
amongst
the
Thessalonians
;
in
which
stir
,
some
of
his
Captains
and
Governours
were
slain
.
Wherefore
the
Emperour
(
having
intelligence
of
what
had
hapened
)
sent
an
Army
against
the
City
,
with
Authority
to
put
to
death
a
certain
number
of
those
who
had
rebelled
:
whence
it
happened
that
the
City
was
fill'd
with
many
unjust
slaughters
;
for
the
Souldiers
respecting
more
their
private
profit
than
the
equity
of
the
cause
,
spared
neither
Innocent
nor
Nocent
,
Young
nor
Old
;
so
that
as
well
the
▪
Inhabitants
as
Strangers
that
resorted
thither
did
partake
of
this
Misery
,
and
suffered
like
punishment
as
did
they
which
were
the
first
Authors
of
this
Rebellion
.
But
because
the
Emperour
was
consenting
unto
these
evils
,
Ambrose
Bishop
of
Millain
would
not
suffer
him
without
publick
repentance
to
come
to
the
Sacrament
of
the
Lords
Supper
:
wherefore
in
a
publick
Assembly
he
acknowledged
his
offence
with
great
Contrition

This
Town
was
afterward
purchased
by
the
Venetians
,
of
Andronicus
Palaeologus
Son
of
Emanuel
Emperour
of
Constantinople
;
who
held
it
a
long
time
,
until
Amurath
Emperour
of
the
Turks
won
it
from
them
,
and
exercised
grievous
cruelty
upon
the
Inhabitants
.
At
this
day
it
is
a
fair
and
goodly
City
,
wherein
is
to
be
seen
23
Churches
,
and
is
inhabited
both
by
Christians
,
Iews
,
and
Turks
,
as
Sebastian
Munster
saith
:
but
the
greatest
number
is
Iews
,
who
are
partly
Merchants
,
partly
of
other
Trades
;
their
number
in
this
place
(
as
it
is
said
by
some
of
their
own
Nation
)
is
14000
,
and
they
have
80
Synagogues
;
but
they
are
constrained
to
wear
yellow
wreaths
about
their
heads
,
the
Christians
blew
,
and
the
Turks
white
.
There
are
many
Iews
also
in
Constantinople
and
Adrianople
;
but
in
no
place
more
than
in
this
Town
,
which
is
now
called
Salonica

THIS
is
a
City
of
Macedon
,
scituated
upon
the
River
of
Halakmon
,
960
miles
from
Ierusalem
North-westward
.
In
this
City
the
Iews
stirred
up
a
great
tumult
and
sedition
against
the
Apostle
Paul
,
Act.
17.
At
this
day
it
is
called
Voria
.
Of
Athens
.
THIS
was
the
most
famous
City
of
all
Grecia
,
the
Mother
of
Arts
,
and
a
bountiful
nourisher
of
large
and
mighty
Colonies
,
in
that
part
of
Achaia
called
Acte
or
Attica
.
It
was
scituated
upon
the
shore
of
the
Mediterranean
Sea
,
720
miles
from
Ierusalem
Westward
.
It
took
name
from

It
was
first
built
by
Cecrops
,
five
years
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
and
worthy
Princes
.
But
after
it
was
called
Mopsonia
,
of
Mopsus
King
of
Thessaly
:
and
after
Ionia
,
which
name
it
held
for
a
while
:
and
lastly
Athens
,
dedicated
to
Pallas
(
which
goddess
the
Grecians
say
was
born
of
the
brain
of
Iupiter
)
which
name
it
held
a
long
time
after
.
There
lived
in
this
City
Solon
,
Socrates
Plato
,
Aristotle
,
Demosthenes
,
and
many
other
excellent
Philosophers
.
It
was
scituated
upon
a
fair
and
strong
Rock
,
beautified
with
many
goodly
Temples
and
Buildings
;
but
principally
that
of
Minerva
was
most
sumptuous
,
in
which
there
hung
a
great
number
of
Lamps
,
which
gave
a
continual
Light
.
There
was
also
the
Monastery
of
the
holy
Virgins
,
and
the
Image
of
Pallas
made
all
of
white
Ivory
very
curious
and
costly
.
There
were
many
Schools
,
Colledges
,
and
pleasant
Gardens
in
which
Philosophers
used
to
walk
,
and
it
abounded
with
sweet
and
delectable
Musick
,
and
with
great
resort
of
Merchants
and
Scholars
.
To
conclude
,
in
those
times
it
was
the
most
notable
City
in
the
World
.
Moreover
,
there
were
many
profitable
Havens
for
the
receit
of
Ships
,
but
that
which
was
called
Piraeum
exceeded

being
capable
to
receive

forty
Ships
;
beautified
with
many
goodly
buildings
,
in
compass
two
miles
,
fortified
with
seven
Walls
,
and
joyning
to
the
City
(
whereof
Terence
writeth
,
Eunuch
.
Act.

)
At
this
day
it
is
called
Porto
Lini
,
fortified
with
two
walls
four
miles
in
length
,
extending
to
the
Hill
Munichya
,
the
sirname
of
Diana
(
being
compassed
in
the
figure
of
a
Chersoness
,
and
so
joyned
to
the
City
of
Athens
.
In
which
distance
there
are
two
other
Havens
besides
that
of
Piraeum
.
In
this
Iupiter
had
a
magnificent
Temple
,
and
in
it
were
found
many
artificial
Tables
,
Pictures
,
and
graven
Images
,
all
which
are
at
this
day
destroyed
and
carried
away
.
It
hath
been
three
times
destroyed
;
first
by
Xerxes
and
Mardonius
,
which
happened
in
the
year
before
Christ
479.
Then
by
Lysander
,
who
broke
down
a
hundred
paces
of
the
Wall
,
and
almost
utterly
destroyed
their
Ships
,
and
broke
down
the
Haven
of
Peraea
.
It
was
also
●ore
oppressed
by
the
Romans
,
as
they
also
brake
down
their
Haven
and
burnt
their
Ships
,
but
spared
the
Town
,
and
held
it
in
great
estimation
.
But
was
the
third
time
overthrown
and
utterly
destroyed
by
the
Turks
,
who
both
changed
the
place
and
name
of
the
City
,
after
it
had
flourished
3113
years
.
At
this
day
it
is
divided
into
three
parts
,
and
called
by
the
name
of
Sethina
,
because
of
the
variety
of
the
Inhabitants
that
live
in
it
,
being
very
well
peopled
,
and
a
fair
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
A●tica
,
yet
at
this
day
it
is
so
much
altered
,
that
their
Language
is
base
,
and
their
Glory
is
eclipsed
.
The
uppermost
part
of
the
City
,
where
formerly
the
Temple
stood
,
dedicated
to
the
unknown
God
,
is
now
wholly
and
absolutely
in
the
hands
of
the
Turks
,
in
which
they
have
built
a
strong
and
almost
invincible
Castle
,
which
hath
the
command
of
the
rest
of
the
Town
.
The
second
and
middle
part
of
the
Town
is
all
inhabited
by
Christians
.
In
the
third
there
standeth
a
fair
and
goodly
Palace
,
supported
with
Marble
Pillars
,
and
adorned
with
goodly
Works
.
In
this
part
of
the
City
there
inhabiteth
People
of
divers
Sects
and
Conditions
.
And
here
also
is
the
Seat
of
a
Metropolitan
,
who
hath
under
him
many
Bishops
.
So
that
God
doth
support
and
maintain
his
Church
even
amongst
the
Enemies
thereof
;
for
there
are
four
Patriarchs
in
Turk●
to
which
all
the
other
Christian
Metropolitans
and
Bishops
are
subject
;
viz.
the
Patriarch
of
Alexandria
,
Constantinople
,
Antiochia
,
and
Ierusalem
.
Paul
was
the
first
man
that
preached
the
Gospel
of
Christ
in
this
City
,
and
converted
many
Citizens
,
but
especially
Dionysius
the
Areopagite
,
who
dwelt
upon
a
Promontory
without
the
City
,
and
as
it
seems
,
was
one
of
the
principal
Judges
and
Governours
of
the
Town
;
for
after
he
had
taught
publickly
in
the
Town
,
and
had
disputed
against
the
Iews
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
Judgment
he
might
receive
condign
punishment
for
his
Offence
.
But
St.
Paul
so
well
behaved
himself
,
and
preached
with
such
admirable
Eloquence
and
Learning
,
that
he
not
only
confuted
his
Enemies
,
but
among
others
converted
this
Dionysius
Areopagitus
,
who
was
afterwards
the
first
Bishop
of
Athens
(
as
Euseb.
saith
,
lib.
4.
cap.
13.
)
and
went
captive
with
Paul
to
Rome
and
from
thence
to
Paris
in
France
,
where
he
suffered
Martyrdom
under
Dionysius
the
Emperour
.
Of
Corinthia
.
COrinthus
,
a
famous
City
in
Grecia
is
scituated
in
Peloponnesus
a
pleasant
Country
of
Achaia
,
joyning
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
Son
of
Aeolus
at
such
time
as
Ioshuah
governed
Israel
;
who
was
a
mighty
Pirate
.
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
fair
Town
and
called
by
the
name
of
Corcyra
,
as
Strabo
saith
;
then
Ephym
,
of
Ephyra
,
who
was
a
fair
and
goodly
Nymph
,
and
Queen
of
that
place
.
Now
although
even
in
those
times
it
was
held
in
great
estimation
,
yet
it
became
much
wasted
and
decayed
through
the
continuance
of
time
,
until
it
was
repaired
by
King
Corinthus
,
who
as
some
think
was
the
Son
of
Marathon
;
Suidas
saith
,
the
Son
of
Pelops
;
others
would
have
him
the
Son
of
Orestis
;
and
after
his
name
was
called
Corinth
,
that
is
,
the
Flower
of
Maides
.
It
was
a
fair
and
goodly
City
,
very
commodiously
built
,
for
it
stood
between
the
two
Seas
of
Ionium
and
Aegeum
,
so
that
there
resorted
thither
great
multitude
of
Merchants
from
all
places
.
Close
by
the
City
there
stood
a
steep
Mountain
,
which
was
as
it
were
a
Bulwark
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
above
the
rest
,
the
Temple
of
Venus
was
had
in
great
reputation
,
which
(
as
Strabo
saith
)
stood
upon
the
top
of
the
Mountain
Acrocorinthus
,
wherein
there
were
above
a
thousand
Maids
prostituted
every
year
.
This
Temple
was
had
in
such
great
honour
,
and
was
so
gloriously
built
,
that
above
all
the
places
of
the
World
there
was
resort
unto
it
.
Close
by
it
stood
the
ancient
Castle
called
Sysyphius
,
built
all
of
white
Marble
;
and
a
little
below
that
,
the
Fountain
of
Pyrene
,
dedicated
to
the
Muses
.
There
were
many
mighty
Princes
that
ruled
in
this
City
,
as
Alethes
,
who
was
King
thereof
at
such
time
as
Samuel
judged
Israel
,
which
was
1103
years
before
Christ
;
he
bestowed
great
cost
upon
it
,
set
up
many
fair
and
goodly
Buildings
,
and
ruled
over
it
thirty
and
five
years
,
as
Eusebius
saith
.
After
him
there
succeeded
many
Kings
,
by
whose
Worthiness
and
Prowess
it
was
so
much
enlarged
,
and
made
so
famous
,
that
it
was
little
inferiour
to
the
City
of
Rome
:
for
,
at
such
time
as
Ambassadours
were
sent
thence
to
intreat
of
some
Business
concerning
the
State
,
the
Corinthians
did
not
let
to
give
them
many
reproachful
Terms
,
as
Strabo
saith
,
lib.
8.
because
of
which
Insolency
,
the
Romans
sent
Lucius
Mummus
the
Consul
into
Grecia
,
who
besieged
Corinth
,
and
within
a
short
time
took
it
,
and
burn'd
it
down
to
the
Ground
,
in
the
year
before
Christ
,
145.
of
which
you
may
read
more
in
Florus
,
and
in
the
second
Decad
of
Livy
.
It
was
a
marvellous
rich
Town
,
and
abounded
with
Gold
,
Silver
,
and
costly
Brass
,
also
with
Plate
,
and
curious
Pictures
:
so
that
although
Mummus
conquered
Corinth
,
yet
Corinth
conquered
Rome
;
for
the
Citizens
thereof
were
so
bewitched
with
the
Riches
and
Glory
of
this
Town
,
that
they
forgot
their
ancient
Severity
,
and
with
violence
followed
their
Vices
,
as
Salust
saith
,
lib.
1.
So
that
as
before
Corinth
abounded
with
Luxury
and
divers
other
abominable
Evils
,
as
Whordom
,
Adultery
,
Fornication
,
Covetousness
,
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
having
travelled
into
those
parts
of
the
World
,
and
seen
the
Ruines
of
this
City
,
and
the
profitable
Scituation
for
Traffick
,
caused
it
to
be
re-builded
:
after
which
time
,
it
began
to
grow
great
and
spacious
,
little
inferiour
to
the
former
in
glory
,
and
no
less
corrupted
with
Vices
,
having
forgot
the
former
misery
which
it
sustained
by
the
hands
of
the
Romans
;
and
so
continued
from
the
year
before
Christ
44
,
until
the
year
after
Christ
41
,
at
which
time
Paul
came
thither
and
preached
the
Gospel
,
by
whose
divine
Doctrine
,
and
godly
Life
and
Conversation
,
they
were
converted
from
their
evil
Courses
,
and
lived
more
holily
and
honestly
,
as
appeareth
by
the
two
Epistles
of
St.
Paul
,
wrote
from
Philippos
to
the
Inhabitants
of
this
Town
.
But
after
,
they
falling
from
their
Faith
,
and
forsaking
their
ancient
Integrity
,
the
Lord
punished
them
with
a
second
Desolation
;
for
,
at
such
time
as
Amurath
,
Emperour
of
the
Turks
,
grew
to
Eminency
,
and
had
conquered
Thessalonica
,
Beotia
,
and
Attica
,
he
came
into
this
Isthmus
,
and
made
all
Peloponnesus
tributary
to
him
.
Then
after
him
Mahomet
the
Second
(
although
the
Inhabitants
of
Corinth
had
fortified
their
City
with
three
Walls
,
and
made
it
so
strong
,
that
it
was
thought
to
be
almost
invincible
)
besieged
it
and
won
it
,
An.
Dom.
1458.
about
six
years
after
Constantinople
was
conquered
by
the
Turks
.
But
now
it
is
in
the
command
of
the
Venetians
,
and
that
,
and
all
the
Country
is
called
by
the
name
of
Morea
,
as
it
appeareth
in
the
Turkish
History

The
fourth
Peregrination
of
the
Apostle
Paul
.
IN
the
Year
after
the
Nativity
of
Christ
,
53.
Paul
went
from
Antiochia
in
Syria
,
and
came
to
Galatia
and
Laodicea
in
Phrygia
,
and
thence
wrote
his
Epistle
to
Timothy
,
as
it
appeareth
by
the
Subscription
of
that
Epistle
;
which
was
380
miles
.
From
Laodicea
he
went
to
Ephesus
,
which
was
280
miles
;
and
there
appointed
Timothy
to
be
a
Bishop
,
and
daily
disputed
in
the
School
of
a
certain
Tyrant
,
and
did
many
miracles
,
as
it
appeareth
,
Acts
19.
From
Ephesus
he
came
to
Troada
,
which
was
200
miles
,
where
,
when
he
could
not
find
Titus
,
he
was
troubled
in
Spirit
,
2
Cor.

From
Troada
he
failed
into
Macedonia
,
and
came
to
Philippos
,
which
was
232
miles
:
from
hence
he
wrote
his
Epistles
to
the
Corinthians
,
and
sent
them
to
Corinth
,
which
was
292
miles
.
In
the
same
year
also
,
Paul
passing
through
Grecia
,
(
in
every
place
where
he
came
,
preaching
and
visiting
the
Churches
,
Act.
19.
)
at
length
came
to
Corinthus
,
which
was
480
miles
.
In
the
fifty
seventh
year
after
the
Nativity
of
Christ
,
when
Paul
had
wintered
among
the
Corinthians
;
in
the
Spring
(
that
he
might
avoid
the
deceits
of
the
Iews
,
who
went
about
to
take
away
his
Life
)
he
went
thence
and
returned
to
Philippos
,
which
was
292
miles
,
where
he
celebrated
the
Feast
of
Pentecost
,
Acts
2.
From
thence
he
sailed
to
Troada
,
which
was
232
miles
,
where
he
raised
Eutichus
from
Death
to
Life
,
Acts
20.
From
Troada
he
went
to
Assa
,
which
was
thirty
six
miles
,
Acts
20.
From
Assa
he
sailed
to
Mileten
,
which
was
760
miles
,
Acts
20.
From
Mileten
he
went
to
Chius
,
which
was
64
miles
,
Act.
20.
From
Chius
he
sailed
to
Samus
,
which
was
60
miles
,
and
continued
in
the
Isle
of
Trogylius
,
which
was
close
by
Samus
,
as
Plin.
saith
,
lib.
5.
cap.
3.
and
Strabo
,
cap.
13.
From
Trogylius
he
sailed
by
Ephesus
,
and
came
to
Miletus
,
which
was
160
miles
.
From
thence
he
sent
Messengers
to
the
Ministers
of
Ephesus
,
commanding
them
to
have
a
special
care
to
the
Flock
of
Christ
,
which
he
had
purchased
with
his
precious
Blood
;
and
added
,
that
he
was
so
much
the
more
importunate
in
that
behalf
because
they
should
never
see
him
again
:
wherefore
they
embraced
Paul
with
great
Lamentations
and
Sorrow
,
Act.
5.
From
Myletus
he
and
his
Companions
went
with
a
direct
course
to
the
Island
of
Cous
,
which
was
200
miles
,
Act
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
sailed
to
Tyrus
,
leaving
Cyprus
upon
the
left
hand
;
which
was
360
miles
,
where
he
found
certain
Disciples
,
and
remained
there
seven
days
,
Act.
21.
From
Tyrus
,
Paul
and
his
Companions
sailed
to
Ptolomais
,
which
was
24
miles
.
From
thence
they
came
to
Caesarea
Strato
,
who
was
44
miles
;
there
they
remained
in
the
house
of
Philip
the
Evangelist
,
who
was
one
of
the
seven
Deacons
with
Stephen
,
Act.
21.
From
thence
Paul
went
to
Ierusalem
,
which
was
32
miles
,
and
there
,
about
the
Feast
of
Pentecost
,
he
was
taken
by
the
Iews
,
imprisoned
and
scourged
,
Act.
21.
At
this
time
Paul
was
about
forty
seven
years
of
Age.
So
all
these
Travels
were
3396
miles
.
Of
the
Towns
and
Places
to
which
he
travelled
.
And
first
of
Assus
.
COncerning
Laodicea
,
to
which
Paul
travelled
,
you
may
read
before
▪
I
will
therefore
proceed
to
Assus
,
which
was
a
Town
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
forty
days
it
is
utterly
consumed
all
but
the
Teeth
,
as
Pliny
saith
,
lib.
36.
cap.

In
this
City
Cleantes
the
Stoick
was
born
,
as
Chrysippus
saith
.
Of
Mitylene
.
THE
Isle
and
Town
of
Mitylene
is
scituated
in
the
Aegean
Sea
,
624
miles
from
Ierusalem
toward
the
North-west
.
In
times
past
called
Lesbus
,
which
obtained
the
whole
Jurisdiction
and
Government
of
Troada
.
It
is
in
compass
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
upon
the
West
part
of
it
;
also
the
Metropolitan
called
Lesbos
,
Eressus
,
the
Haven
of
Antissa
,
and
Mithymna
.
Of
Lesbos
in
times
past
this
whole
Isle
was
called
Lesbus
,
until
the
City
of
Mitylene
grew
famous
;
being
so
called
of
Mitylene
the
Daughter
of
Macharus
,
as
Diodorus
saith
,
lib.
4.
and
after
that
Cities
name
called
Mitylene
.
There
were
many
other
goodly
Cities
which
stood
in
this
Isle
,
but
they
were
either
consumed
by
Earth-quakes
or
drowned
by
the
Sea
.
The
Land
thereof
was
very
pleasant
and
fruitful
,
bringing
forth
grapes
,
whereof
there
was
a
very
excellent
and
clear
Wine
made
,
which
they
of
Constantinople
principally
liked
:
there
is
also
found
great
store
of
Cypress
,
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
lived
and
were
born
in
this
Country
;
as
Pittachus
one
of
the
seven
Wise
Men
of
Greece
,
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
is
,
a
good
Orator
)
and
lastly
,
Theophrastus
,
that
is
,
a
divine
Orator
;
this
man
was
an
excellent
Peripatetick
,
and
Scholar
to
Aristotle
,
whom
he
succeeded
in
his
School
,
and
had
2000
Scholars
.
Vitruvius
the
Architect
maketh
mention
of
Mitylen
in
his
first
Book
,
saying
,
that
it
was
a
very
magnificent
City
,
and
rarely
builded
,
but
very
badly
scituated
;
for
when
the
South
Wind
did
blow
,
the
Inhabitants
grew
sick
;
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
City
,
as
it
appeareth
,
Act.
20.
At
this
day
it
is
under
the
Jurisdiction
of
the
Turks
,
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
North-west
,
being
112
miles
in
Compass
;
the
principal
City
thereof
is
called
Chios
,
taking
the
Name
,
as
some
say
,
from
the
Mastick
Tree
,
which
sweateth
out
a
certain
Gum
,
of
the
Syrians
called
Chian
,
and
by
us
Mastick
:
this
Mastick
is
the
best
in
those
parts
of
the
World
.
Ephorus
calleth
it
by
the
ancient
Name
Aetalia
;
but
Cleobulus
,
Chia
;
either
because
of
the
Nymph
called
Chion
,
or
else
because
of
the
whiteness
of
the
Soil
:
there
are
others
that
call
it
Patyusia
;
and
there
are
some
who
derive
the
name
of
Chius
from
the
Temple
of
Apollo
that
standeth
in
it
,
called
Chion
.
There
stands
in
it
a
fair
and
goodly
Mountain
called
Pellenaeum
,
from
whence
the
Inhabitants
dig
very
excellent
marble
.
Also
in
times
past
the
best
Malmsey
came
thence
,
but
in
these
days
it
is
brought
from
Crete
.
Of
Sat●us
.
THIS
is
an
Isle
and
City
scituated
in
the
Aegean
Sea
,
upon
a
high
or
lofty
piece
of
Ground
,
so
that
from
thence
the
Inhabitants
may
see
into
all
the
Countries
near
adjoyning
,
lying
upon
the
Coast
of
Ephesus
and
Ionia
,
560
miles
from
Ierusalem
toward
the
North-west
;
it
was
in
compass
eighty
eight
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
Crown
or
Wreath
of
sweet
smelling
Flowers
,
of
which
there
were
great
plenty
in
this
Isle
;
the
Poets
feign
that
Iun●
was
both
born
and
brought
up
in
it
;
and
Varro
saith
,
That
there
was
a
fair
and
stately
Temple
dedicated
unto
her
,
where
solemn
Service
and
the
Rites
of
Marriage
were
yearly
celebrated
Pythagoras
the
Philosopher
was
born
here
;
and
one
of
the
Sybels
(
which
prophecied
of
the
comming
of
Christ
)
lived
h●re
.
St.
Paul
also
came
into
this
Isle
,
and
converted
many
,
as
appeareth
Act.
20.
There
is
another
Isle
called
Samus
,
scituated
upon
the
Coast
of
Epirus
,
not
far
from
the
Gulph
of
Ambracius
,
called
also
Cephalenia
,
not
far
from
the
Promontory
of
Actium
,
where
Augustus
overcame
Antonius
;
in
Honour
of
which
Victory
he
built
up
a
City
and
called
it
Nicapolis
,
&c.
Of
Trogyllium
.
THIS
is
a
Promontory
and
Town
not
far
from
Ephesus
,
scituated
in
Asia-minor
,
at
the
foot
of
the
Mountain
Mycales
,
four
miles
and
somewhat
more
from
Samus
,
where
Paul
stayed
,
Act.

It
is
distant
from
Ierusalem
460
miles
toward
the
North-West
.
There
are
which
say
,
that
St.
Paul
stayed
at
a
certain
Isle
joyning
close
to
this
Promontory
,
called
after
that
by
the
name
of
Trogyllium
.
See
Strabo
,
lib.
14.
Of
Myletus
.
THIS
was
a
famous
City
,
scituated
upon
the
Borders
of
Ionia
and
Caesaria
,
close
by
the
Shore
of
the
Aegean
Sea
,
104
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
North-west
.
The
Poets
feign
,
that
Miletus
,
who
was
the
first
builder
of
this
City
,
was
the
Son
of
Apollo
,
and
called
it
after
his
own
name
Miletus
:
but
Strabo
,
lib
12.
thinketh
that
it
was
rather
built
by
Sarpedon
the
Son
of
Iupiter
,
and
Brother
to
Radamanthus
and
Minos
,
and
by
him
was
called
Myletus
,
from
another
City
of
the
same
name
,
which
stood
in
Crete
.
The
Wool
that
cometh
from
this
Town
is
wonderful
soft
,
and
singular
good
for
many
purposes
;
but
it
was
principally
used
to
make
Cloath
of
,
which
they
died
into
an
excellent
Purple
and
transported
into
many
places
.
There
were
a
great
many
famous
men
that
either
lived
or
were
born
in
this
Town
;
as
Thales
Milesius
,
one
of
the
seven
Wise-Men
of
Graece
,
Anaximander
,
who
was
his
Scholar
,
Anaximenes
and
Hecataeus
the
Historian
;
also
Eschenes
the
Orator
,
(
not
he
that
contended
with
Demosthenes
,
who
taking
too
much
Liberty
against
Pompey
was
banished
)
Timotheus
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
Philosophy
and
the
Mathematicks
amongst
the
Grecians
.
He
was
the
first
also
that
foretold
of
the
Eclipse
of
the
Sun
,
about
such
time
as
the
Battel
was
fought
between
Cyaxares
Father
of
Astyages
King
of
the
Medes
,
and
Hallyattes
Father
of
Croesus
,
King
of
the
Lidians
,
which
was
about
the
44
Olympiad
.
There
came
unto
him
a
certain
Man
,
who
asked
him
what
was
the
hardest
thing
in
the
World
;
he
answered
,
Seipsum
nosce
,
To
know
himself
.
Another
came
to
him
,
and
ask'd
him
,
how
he
might
do
to
live
justly
;
he
answered
,
Si
quae
in
alis
reprehendimus
,
ipse
non
faciamus
,
That
we
do
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
,
bordering
upon
Caria
;
being
so
called
from
the
Vaults
and
Caves
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
;
and
another
standing
in
the
Suburbs
thereof
,
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
Romans
had
obtained
the
Command
of
this
Isle
,
Octavius
,
the
Father
of
Augustus
Caesar
,
took
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
derived
their
Progeny
from
her
.
It
is
in
compass
56
miles
,
being
so
pleasantly
scituated
that
it
was
a
Sea-Mark
to
Mariners
,
very
fruitful
,
and
bringing
forth
abundance
of
Wine
and
Silk
,
by
reason
of
a
certain
Fish
that
is
found
there
,
from
which
they
got
great
Plenty
.
See
Plin.

There
were
many
that
lived
only
by
weaving
of
Silk
;
and
above
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
lived
in
that
Country
,
as
Hippocrates
that
excellent
Physician
,
Apelles
that
notable
Painter
,
Simus
the
Physician
,
Philetas
the
Poet
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
principal
City
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
Country
is
very
fertile
,
abounding
with
Cattel
,
and
the
Mountains
thereof
are
little
inferiour
to
those
of
Crete
.
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
less
,
upon
the
South
;
being
distant
from
Ierusalem
140
miles
toward
the
North-west
,
as
Strabo
saith
,
lib.
14.
It
is
in
compass
112
miles
.
It
was
at
first
called
Ophy
,
then
Statilia
,
and
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
Brass
and
Iron
.
At
last
it
took
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
seven
Wise-men
of
Greece
,
and
Chares
that
famous
Statuary
,
who
made
the
Colossus
which
stood
in
this
Isle
,
were
born
.
Ialyssus
,
of
a
Rose
that
was
found
in
it
,
was
called
Rhodes
,
being
scituated
upon
an
exceeding
high
Promontory
,
lying
toward
the
East
part
of
that
Isle
.
This
exceeded
the
other
two
Cities
,
both
for
Ports
,
Ways
,
Walls
,
and
other
Ornaments
,
and
the
Inhabitants
were
governed
with
such
excellent
Laws
,
and
so
skilful
in
Navigation
,
that
it
might
compare
with
the
strongest
City
of
the
World
,
and
for
a
long
time
had
the
Command
of
the
Sea
round
about
,
and
utterly
abolished
all
Pirates
and
Robbers
from
those
parts
.
Diodorus
Sicul.
lib.
6
saith
,
that
it
was
called
Rhodes
of
Rhodia
,
a
fair
and
beautiful
Maid
,
who
was
dearly
beloved
of
Apollo
,
and
therefore
this
Island
was
dedicated
to
the
Sun
;
for
as
Solinus
saith
,
Though
the
Heavens
be
never
so
cloudy
yet
the
Sun
shineth
in
Rhodes
.
Pindarus
the
Poet
,
(
because
of
the
fertility
of
the
Soil
,
and
the
exceeding
Opulency
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
up
at
Rhodes
.
This
Isle
is
very
fruitful
,
and
bringeth
forth
many
things
necessary
for
the
maintenance
of
Life
;
but
above
all
,
a
certain
Red
Wine
which
the
Romans
did
greatly
delight
in
,
and
valued
at
a
high
Price
.
In
this
City
lived
that
notable
Painter
called
Protogines
,
which
Apelles
conquered
in
that
Science
,
as
Pliny
saith
,
li.
35.
ca.
10.
Demetrius
,
King
of
Asia
,
erected
a
notable
Colossus
or
Statue
of
the
Sun
in
this
Isle
,
which
that
notable
Carver
Chares
made
,
being
outwardly
all
of
pure
Brass
,
but
within
nothing
but
Stones
;
it
was
seventy
Cubits
high
,
and
so
artificially
made
,
that
it
was
accounted
for
one
of
the
Wonders
of
the
World
.
Afterward
it
was
carried
into
Egypt
by
the
Egyptians
,
who
won
the
Town
.
This
Isle
is
famous
to
this
day
:
in
times
past
it
was
accounted
one
o●
the
Keys
of
Christendom
,
but
at
this
day
subject
unto
the
Turk
:
of
which

History

Of
Patara
.
PAtara
was
a
City
of
Licia
,
so
called
of
Patarus
the
Builder
thereof
;
who
was
the
Son
of
Apollones
,
or
Lacones
,
as
Strabo
and
Servius
saith
:
it
was
scituated
upon
the
South-side
of
Asia
the
less
,
close
by
the
shore
of
the
Mediterranean
Sea
,
408
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
North-west
.
Ptolomaeus
Philadelphus
King
of
Aegypt
enlarged
the
City
,
and
called
it
after
his
Sisters
Name
,
Arsinoes
Lysiaca
,
to
put
a
difference
between
it
and
other
Cities
called
after
that
Name
;
for
there
was
an
Arsinoe
in
Egypt
,
and
another
near
Cyrene
,
where
Apollo
in
certain
months
of
the
Winter
Season
(
by
the
help
of
the
Devil
)
gave
answer
to
them
that
sought
after
him
.
St.
Paul
was
in
this
Town
,
Act.

There
was
also
another
Town
of
this
Name
in
Achaia
,
where
St.
Andrew
was
crucified

The
Travels
of
St.
Paul
when
he
was
taken
Captive
and
carried
Prisoner
to
Rome
.
IN
the
57
year
after
the
Nativity
of
Christ
,
Paul
being
then
47
years
of
Age
,
by
the
command
of
Claudius
Lysius
was
taken
and
scourged
by
the
Iews
,
and
brought
thence
to
Antipatris
by
Night
(
because
there
were
forty
Iews
which
had
sworn
his
Death
)
which
was
twelve
miles
,
Act.
22
,
23
,
24.
From
Antipatris
he
was
brought
to
Caesarea
Strato
,
which
was
twenty
eight
miles
,
where
he
was
brought
before
Foelix
,
(
who
was
President
for
the
Romans
in
those
parts
)
and
was
captive
there
for
the
space
of
two
days
,
Act.

In
the
fifty
ninth
year
after
the
Nativity
of
Christ
,
Paul
being
then
49
years
of
Age
,
or
thereabouts
,
was
sent
by
Portius
Festus
,
President
of
the
Iews
,
to
Rome
;
so
Paul
sailed
from
Caesarea
Strato
to
Sidon
,
which
was
84
miles
,
Act.
27.
From
thence
Paul
sailed
close
by
Cyprus
,
because
the
Wind
was
contrary
,
and
came
to
the
Sea
over
against
Cilicia
,
(
which
was
very
troublesom
)
and
so
passing
by
Pamphilia
they
came
to
Myra
,
which
was
480
miles
.
Loosing
from
Myra
they
sailed
to
Gnidum
,
which
was
248
miles
,
Act.
27.
From
Gnidum
they
sailed
towards
the
South
,
and
came
to
Crete
,
and
so
passed
by
the
Towns
of
Salmo
,
Lasaea
,
and
Assus
,
and
so
came
to
Phoenicia
,
which
was
180
miles
.
From
Phoenicia
they
came
to
the
Island
of
Claudia
,
which
was
108
miles
.
From
the
Island
of
Claudia
they
came
to
Melite
,
which
now
is
called
Malta
;
in
which
place
they
suffered
Shipwrack
,
and
Paul
shook
off
the
Viper
off
his
hand
into
the
Fire
,
and
did
many
other
Miracles
,
which
was
720
miles
.
From
Malta
they
sailed
in
a
Ship
of
Alexandria
,
to
Sir
acusus
in
Sicilia
,
being
180
miles
:
Paul
at
this
time
was
fifty
years
of
Age
,
Act
,
28.
From
Siracusa
they
sailed
to
Regium
,
being
52
miles
.
From
thence
they
went
to
Puteola
,
being
164
miles
.
From
Puteola
they
went
to
Apiforum
,
being
12
miles
:
there
certain
Christians
of
Rome
came
to
meet
them
,
above
twenty
two
miles
,
and
received
Paul
with
great
Friendship
.
From
Apiforum
they
led
him
to
Tribatera
,
being
six
miles
,
here
he
met
more
Christians
.
From
Tribatera
he
went
to
Rome
,
being
sixteen
miles
,
where
he
remained
two
years
Prisoner
,
and
there
wrote
his
Epistles
to
the
Galathians
,
Ephesians
,
Philippians
,
Colossians
,
Philemon
,
and
the
Hebrews
:
so
all
these
Travels
were
2300
miles
.
And
in
the
whole
,
from
his
first
beginning
,
untill
his
being
Prisoner
in
Rome
,
were
190270
miles
.
But
being
delivered
out
of
Prison
,
the
last
ten
years
of
his
age
he
did
not
only
preach
the
Gospel
in
Asia
and
Creta
,
where
he
appointed
his
Disciple
Timothy
to
be
a
Bishop
,
and
in
Macedonia
,
(
where
being
in
Neapolis
he
wrote
an
Epistle
to
Titus
,
and
sent
it
to
him
above
300
miles
to
the

and
sent
it

and
others
.
This
Town
is
yet
standing
,
and
(
as
it
is
thought
)
it
took
the
name
of
the
Fish
Gnidus
,
which
is
taken
there
in
the
Sea
;
which
Fish
is
of
so
strange
a
nature
,
that
if
you
take
it
in
your
hand
it
stingeth
like
a
Nettle
.
At
this
day
this
Town
hath
another
name
,
and
is
called
Cabo
Chrio
,
as
Conradus
Gesnerus
in
his
Onomastico
writeth
.
Of
Creta
.
THE
Island
of
Creta
took
the
name
(
as
Strabo
saith
)
from
the
People
called
Curetes
that
dwelt
in
this
Island
:
those
People
used
to
cut
all
the
hair
off
from
the
fore-parts
of
their
Heads
,
and
therefore
they
would
not
endure
to
suffer
any
Man
to
wear
his
hair
being
in
the
Wards
;
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
compass
588
miles
:
it
is
very
fruitful
of
Cypress
Trees
,
Malmsey
,
Sugar
,
and
other
Spices
:
the
Malmsey
taketh
the
name
from
the
Town
of
Malvesia
,
in
Peloponnesus
,
standing
upon
the
point
of
Malta
,
right
over
against
Creta
or
Candia
;
and
at
this
day
the
like
Wine
is
made
in
Creta
,
and
called
by
the
same
name
,
from
whence
it
is
commonly
brought
unto
us
,
though
in
times
past
it
came
out
of
the
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
divers
Towns
and
Villages
:
it
hath
many
Hills
and
Woods
:
for
the
Island
is
very
full
of
sweet
Cypress
Trees
,
insomuch
that
there
are
Woods
full
of
them
.
Pliny
writes
,
that
upon
a
time
,
there
was
such
an
Earth-quake
in
this
Island
,
that
one
of
the
Hills
removed
,
out
of
which
there
came
a
Man
,
being
forty
Cubits
high
.
In
this
Island
there
are
no
venemous
Beasts
,
but
in
times
past
it
was
inhabited
by
cruel
People
,
of
whom
St.
Paul
complaineth
in
his
first
Epistle
to
Titus
,
cap.
1.
where
he
reherseth
the
Saying
of
Epimenides
,
which
was
after
this
manner
,
The
People
of
Creta
are
always
Liars
,
evil
Beasts
,
and
slow
Bellies
.
And
to
conclude
,
they
resemble
some
of
the
Friars
among
the
Papists
;
for
as
they
are
idle
people
and
shave
their
heads
,
so
were
the
Men
of
Creta
.
Titus
(
Pauls
Disciple
)
was
a
Bishop
in
this
Island
,
and
St.
Paul
wrote
an
Epistle
to
them
and
to
Nicapolis
▪
and
sent
it
them
above
320
miles
.
This
Island
in
times
past
was
very
rich
and
populous
,
for
in
it
there
was
a
100
Towns
;
the
chief
of
which
were
Gnossos
,
Cortyna
,
and
Zydon
,
but
Gnossos
was
the
most
principal
and
ancientest
,
wherein
King
Minos
kept
his
Court
:
in
it
the
notable
Geographer
Strabo
was
born
.
This
Town
of
Gnossos
in
times
past
was
called
Ceratur
,
of
the
River
Cerata
which
passed
by
it
;
but
now
it
and
all
the
Island
is
called
Candia
.
The
Venetians
every
three
years
appointed
a
new
Duke
to
govern
it
.
In
this
Island
stood
the
Towns
of
Salmona
and
Lassica
(
by
Pliny
called
Lasas
)
and
in
the
middle
between
those
two
Towns
was
the
Haven
of
Gutfurt
,
whereof
Saint
Luke
maketh
mention
in
the
Acts
of
the
Apostles
,
cap
27.
saying
,
That
Paul
counselled
the
Saylers
that
were
in
the
Ship
to
anchor
there
,
and
stay
the
Winter
season
in
that
Island
:
but
the
Captain
of
the
Ship
gave
more
credit
to
the
Master
of
the
Ship
,
than
to
Pauls
words
,
whereby
in
the
end
they
were
in
danger
of
their
lives
.
The
Towns
of
Salmona
and
Lassica
with
the
Haven
of
Gutfurt
,
lay
Southward
in
this
Island
,
upon
the
Coasts
of
the
Mediterranean
Sea
:
somewhat
distant
from
them
stood
the
Town
of
Asson
,
by
Pliny
called
Ausum
,
where
they
hoised
out
their
boat
and
sayled
Northward
;
and
because
they
had
a
fair
South-wind
,
they
thought
to
sail
to
Phoenicia
,
a
Haven
in
Creta
,
but
the
wind
coming
about
to
the
East
,
drave
them
back
again
into
the
Sea
,
by
which
means
they
were
in
danger
of
their
Lives
.
This
Island
was
brought
under
the
subjection
of
the
Romans
,
66
years
before
the
birth
of
Christ
,
and
so
for
a
long
time
continued
,
until
the
Saracens
entered
therein
,
and
took
it
from
the
Romans
,
800
years
after
the
Birth
of
Christ
.
After
that
,
in
the
year
of
our
Lord
979
,
the
Emperour
of
Constantinople
drave
the
Saracens
out
of
the
Island
,
and
kept
it
;
but
in
the
end
the
Venetians
brought
it
under
their
Subjection
and
Seigniory
,
in
the
year
of
our
Lord
1202
,
and
at
this
day
it
is
called
Candia
.
Of
Clauda
.
CLaudea
is
an
Isle
not
far
from
Crete
,
lying
towards
the
Southwest
in
the
Mediterranean
Sea
,
288
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
West
:
at
this
day
it
is
called
Porto
Cabaso
;
here
the
Saylers
,
the
Apostle
Paul
;
and
the
rest
of
the
company
,
haled
overboard
their
Cock-boat
,
and
tyed
it
to
their
Ship
and
fell
to
towing
,
lest
they
should
have
been
sunk
into
Syr●is
,
a
dangerous
Gulph
upon
those
Seas
,
Acts
27.
Of
Syrtis
.
THIS
is
a
Gulph
of
the
Sea
lying
upon
the
shore
of
Africa
,
in
which
the
Water
is
both
troublesome
and
the
shore
dangerous
,
because
of
quick
Sands
;
and
in
this
there
are
two
places
most
remarkable
,
called
by
the
name
of
Syrtis
,
from
drawing
and
attracting
Ships
unto
them
,
by
which
they
were
greatly
endangered
:
the
one
was
called
the
greater
,
and
the
other
the
less
;
the
greater
lay
1000
miles
from
Ierusalem
towards
the
West
,
but
the
other
lay
under
the
Isle
of
Mylete
towards
the
South
,
being
distant
from
Ierusalem
1320
miles
towards
the
West
:
in
this
place
it
was
where
Paul
and
his
Companions
were
in
such
danger
,
mentioned
Act.
17.
Of
Mylete
.
THIS
Island
was
so
called
from
the
great
abundance
of
Honey
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
fruitful
,
bringing
forth
great
plenty
of
Wheat
,
Rye
,
Flax
,
Cumin
,
Cotton
,
Figs
,
Wine
,
Roses
,
Violets
,
Time
,
Lavender
,
and
many
other
sweet
and
delightful
Herbs
,
from
whence
Bees
did
gather
great
plenty
of
Honey
.
The
Sun
is
very
hot
in
this
Island
,
insomuch
,
that
by
the
extreme
servor
thereof
,
the
Inhabitants
lose
their
natural
complexion
and
look
of
a
tawny
colour
.
In
Summer
Evenings
there
falleth
great
plenty
of
dews
,
whereby
the
Earth
is
refreshed
and
the
Herbs
increased
.
There
is
neither
Snow
or
Frost
seen
in
it
;
for
the
Northern
Winds
(
which
with
us
are
the
Authors
of
Cold
and
Frosts
)
with
them
procure
Rain
,
which
greatly
refresheth
and
increaseth
the
Fruits
of
the
Earth
;
so
that
the
Pastures
and
Medows
become
very
pleasant
and
full
of
Grass
:
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
above
twenty
thousand
Men.
The
Inhabitants
are
very
honest
,
religious
,
and
godly
;
and
the
Women
fair
,
chast
,
and
modest
,
for
they
never
come
abroad
but
with
their
faces
covered
.
The
Children
that
are
born
in
this
Country
fear
not
any
Snakes
;
neither
are
hurt
by
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
kind
of
creatures
are
most
pernicious
.
In
this
Isle
also
there
are
bred
a
kind
of
Dogs
that
are
but
small
,
yet
very
white
and
shagged
,
and
so
loving
,
that
the
Inhabitants
of
all
the
neighbouring
Countries
will
buy
them
,
though
they
be
at
dear
rates
.
The
chief
City
thereof
(
called
Malta
)
is
so
strongly
fortified
both
by
Art
and
Nature
,
that
it
is
almost
impossible
to
be
conquered
,
unless
it
be
either
by
Treason
or
Famine
.
The
Town
or
Castle
whereof
is
fortified
with
the
Knights
of
St.
Iohn's
Order
,
who
have
mightily
expressed
their
Valour
and
Resolution
in
defending
this
Town
from
the
Turks
.
About
a
mile
from
this
,
the
ruines
of
a
goodly
fair
City
are
to
be
seen
.
And
upon
the
East
Promontory
,
a
little
from
the
City
of
Malta
,
there
yet
remain
the
decays
(
which
are
worthy
to
look
upon
)
of
a
goodly
Temple
,
dedicated
to
Iun●
.
It
seemeth
by
what
remaineth
,
that
this
Church
hath
been
a
fair
and
goodly
thing
in
times
past
.
There
is
also
here
and
there
in
the
Earth
found
certain
brass
Monies
,
having
upon
the
one
side
a
superscription
written
in
Greek
Letters
,
and
upon
the
other
the
Image
of
Iuno
.
There
stood
upon
the
South
side
of
Malta
a
Temple
dedicated
to
Hercules
,
the
ruines
of
which
are
yet
extant
;
and
in
it
are
found
Mountains
worthy
of
admiration
.
At
such
time
as
the
Captain
of
Massanissa
King
of
the
Numidians
had
conquered
this
Island
,
amongst
other
pretious
things
that
he
found
in
these
Temples
,
he
took
thence
a
great
deal
of
goodly
Ivory
:
but
that
religious
King
did
faithfully
restore
all
those
things
back
again
,
and
dedicated
them
to
the
several
Temples
.
Thus
we
may
perceive
,
that
the
Inhabitants
of
this
Island
of
Malta
were
wholly
given
to
Idolatry
and
Superstition
,
untill
such
time
as
Paul
,
by
the
Inconstancy
and
Vehemency
of
the
Wind
,
was
driven
upon
it
,
and
converted
them
from
that
perverse
and
prophane
Worship
to
the
Christian
Religion
,
at
such
time
as
he
suffered
Shipwrack
,
and
wintered
amongst
them
,
Acts
27.
The
Inhabitants
shew
upon
the
North
part
of
this
Isle
,
the
place
where
the
Ship
was
cast
away
wherein
the
Apostle
Paul
was
;
in
which
place
they
have
built
up
a
Chappel
,
and
dedicated
it
to
Saint
Paul
.
They
shew
also
a
Cave
,
in
which
they
say
he
lived
;
and
they
verily
believed
that
he
expelled
all
Venome
and
Poyson
out
of
that
Island
at
such
time
as
he
was
there
.
It
was
first
subject
unto
the
Africans
,
as
may
appear
by
certain
Marble
Pillars
which
are
here
and
there
found
,
in
which
there
are
ingraven
certain
Characters
of
the
Carthaginians
,
not
much
unlike
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
War
upon
Dido
,
because
he
could
not
obtain
her
in
Matrimony
,
she
received
Aid
from
this
Battus
;
and
when
for
the
love
of
Aeneas
she
had
killed
her self
,
Hyarbas
,
having
conquered
Carthage
,
banished
her
Sister
Anne
,
who
was
entertained
by
this
Battus
.
But
Hyarbas
taking
that
unkindly
,
made
War
upon
Battus
,
and
conquered
the
Island
of
Malta
:
so
it
continued
in
the
Jurisdiction
of
the
Carthaginians
a
long
time
after
,
until
the
Carthaginians
were
conquered
by
the
Romans
;
and
then
one
Titus
Sempronius
(
about
such
times
as
Hannibal
brought
his
Army
before
Trebia
)
won
it
217
years
before
Christ
.
And
after
it
continued
under
the
Jurisdiction
of
the
Romans
130
years
,
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
,
Anno
Dom.
1090.
And
so
it
continued
in
the
hands
of
the
Sicilians
till
Anno
Dom.
1520.
And
then
Charles
the
fifth
being
Emperour
,
gave
it
to
the
Knights
of
Saint
Iohn
,
upon
condition
that
they
should
oppose
the
Turks
Gallies
,
and
defend
that
part
of
Christendom
.
So
the
Knights
of
St.
Iohn
,
together
with
their
Governour
,
sailed
to
Malta
,
and
so
fortified
it
that
it
is
impossible
to
be
taken
,
unless
by
Famin
or
Treason
.
There
were
many
famous
Bishops
that
lived
in
this
place
,
and
very
devout
Christians
.
In
the
time
of
the
Emperour
Theodosius
there
was
a
Councel
held
,
at
which
were
present
240
Bishops
.
At
this
day
this
Bishoprick
is
subject
to
the
Archbishop
of
Palermo
;
and
the
chief
Government
of
the
Isle
is
in
the
Power
of
the
Knights
of
St.
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
fair
and
goodly
City
,
in
antient
time
called
Tetrapolis
,
because
it
was
divided
into
three
parts
:
one
of
which
parts
stood
in
the
Isle
of
Ortygia
separated
from
the
Continent
with
a
little
streight
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
up
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
equal
War
.
It
was
called
Syracusa
,
from
drawing
or
sucking
;
and
in
process
of
time
obtained
the
whole
Jurisdiction
and
Government
of
that
Isle
;
which
was
so
well
peopled
in
the
time
of
Dionysius
the
Tyrant
,
that
he
was
able
to
make
and
maintain
an
Army
of
one
hundred
thousand
Foot
and
twelve
thousand
Horse
.
There
were
two
Havens
in
that
part
which
was
called
Ortygia
,
so
marvellously
fortified
with
such
huge
Rocks
and
other
Munition
,
that
they
were
wonderful
to
look
upon
.
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
War
for
a
long
time
.
In
this
Hold
the
Kings
and
Tyrants
of
this
Country
usually
kept
their
Treasures
,
and
other
things
that
were
material
.
There
were
many
worthy
and
famous
Princes
ruled
in
it
,
but
above
them
all
Dionysius
the
elder
exceeded
the
rest
;
who
when
he
saw
what
abundance
of
Vessels
of
Gold
and
Silver
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
mind
of
a
King
is
not
in
thee
,
that
out
of
so
many
Cups
couldest
not
procure
one
Friend
:
For
after
he
was
banished
,
and
constrained
to
keep
a
School
.
Both
these
Dionysians
were
learned
Men
and
great
Philosophers
.
It
is
thought
that
this
Island
was
some
time
a
part
of
Italy
,
and
joyning
to
the
Field
of
Brutius
;
but
in
time
,
through
the
violence
of
the
Sea
,
separate
from
the
Continent
:
From
whence
it
was
called
Sicilita
,
and
also
Trinacris
,
because
there
were
three
Mountains
standing
upon
three
Promontories
in
three
several
places
of
it
,
giving
the
proportion
of
a
Triangle
;
for
there
was
an
Angle
toward
the
South
called
Pactinus
,
another
toward
the
South-west
called
Lilybaeus
,
and
another
called
Pelorus
,
which
lay
distant
near
about
two
miles
from
Italy
.
In
times
past
it
was
under
the
command
of
the
Romans
,
but
now
the
Spaniards
have
chief
Government
of
it
.
There
are
many
things
remaining
to
this
day
worthy
observation
,
but
chiefly
the
Mountain
Aetna
,
which
still
casteth
out
Fire
and
Smoak
,
&c.
Of
Rhegium
.
THIS
was
a
Town
of
Italy
,
belonging
to
the
Family
of
the
Brutians
;
at
first
built
by
the
Calcidonians
and
Messenians
,
upon
the
utmost
bounds
of
Italy
toward
the
Sicilian
Sea
,
being
distant
from
that
Isle
sixty
Furlongs
,
and
called
by
the
name
of
Rhegium
,
as
some
think
,
from
Rumpo
,
to
break
;
for
that
near
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
beautiful
a
City
that
it
might
well
have
been
the
Seat
of
a
Prince
.
Close
by
this
City
,
in
the
Sicilian
Sea
,
there
stands
a
Rock
somewhat
above
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
extream
violent
,
and
runes
with
so
strong
a
current
,
that
it
is
very
dangerous
for
Mariners
(
especially
such
as
are
ignorant
)
to
sail
that
way
.
Wherefore
the
Poets
made
this
verse
,
to
signifie
a
man
that
stood
in
a
Dangerous
and
Doubtful
estate
,
Decidit
in
Scyllam
cupiens
vitare
Charibdim
.
Seeking
to
shun
Charibdis
curled
Waves
,
He
thrusts
himself
into
stern
Scylla's
Jaws
:
But
that
Mariners
might
avoid
these
dangerous
places
,
upon
the
North
angle
of
Sicilia
,
in
the
Promontory
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.
lib.
6.
saith
,
is
scituated
in
Calabria
,
1332
miles
from
Ierusalem
Westward
.
Of
Puteoli
.
THIS
City
is
in
Campania
,
a
Country
of
Italy
not
far
from
Naples
,
scituated
on
the
Sea
Shore
1381
miles
from
Ierusalem
Westward
:
taking
that
name
from
Fountains
or
Wells
of
hot
Water
,
being
built
by
the
Salamians
,
as
Eusebius
saith
,
about
such
time
as
the
Tarquins
were
banished
Rome
,
507
years
before
the
Nativity
of
Christ
.
It
was
antiently
called
Dicaearchia
,
because
of
their
singular
Justice
and
Noble
Government
.
But
when
the
Romans
made
War
upon
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
and
his
Companions
arrived
,
when
they
sailed
into
Rome
,
Act.
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
poor
man
dwelling
in
Baia
,
who
usually
played
among
other
Youths
upon
the
Banks
of
this
Lake
:
and
seeing
the
Dolphin
(
it
being
a
strange
Fish
in
those
parts
,
and
very
amiable
to
look
upon
)
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
Boy
's
Voice
upon
the
Bank
of
the
River
,
would
resort
to
him
,
and
receive
at
his
hand
his
accustomed
Food
.
Thus
it
continued
so
,
that
the
Dolphin
would
suffer
the
Boy
to
handle
him
,
take
him
by
the
Gills
,
play
with
him
,
yea
,
and
sometimes
to
get
upon
his
Back
,
then
swim
with
him
a
great
way
into
the
Lake
,
and
bring
him
back
again
,
and
suffer
him
to
go
safe
upon
the
shore
.
After
this
manner
he
continued
for
many
Years
together
,
and
in
the
end
the
Youth
died
.
Yet
the
Dolphin
resorted
to
his
usual
place
,
expecting
his
accustomed
Food
from
the
hands
of
this
Boy
;
but
missing
him
,
he
left
the
shore
,
languish'd
away
,
and
died
.
Concerning
the
nature
of
this
Fish
you
may
read
more
at
large
in
Pliny
,
lib.

cap.
8.
Of
Colossa
.
THIS
City
is
scituated
in
Phrygia
,
a
Country
in
Asia
minor
,
near
the
Rivers
of
Lycus
and
Meander
,
520
miles
from
Ierusalem
North-westward
,
not
far
from
Laodicea
;
so
called
from
the
mighty
Statues
and
Colosso's
that
were
set
up
in
it
.
These
Cities
,
Colossa
,
Laodicea
,
and
Hierapolis
(
where
the
Apostle
Philip
was
put
to
death
in
the
tenth
year
of
Nero
)
a
little
before
Paul's
Martyrdom
,
were
sunk
by
an
Earthquake
,
which
without
doubt
was
a
great
judgment
of
God
upon
them
,
because
they
refused
the
Grace
and
Comfort
of
the
Doctrine
of
the
Gospel
offered
unto
them
by
the
Apostles
.
The
Epistle
of
Paul
,
dedicated
to
the
Colossians
,
was
sent
by
the
hand
of
Onesymus
from
Rome
unto
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
in
Asia
minor
,
and
not
in
Rhodes
.
Of
Nicopolis
.
NIcopolis
is
a
City
of
Macedonia
,
scituated
close
by
the
River
Nessus
,
not
far
from
Philippus
upon
the
Borders
of
Thrace
,
920
miles
from
Ierusalem
North-westward
.
From
hence
the
Apostle
Paul
wrote
his
Epistle
to
Titus
,
and
sent
it
to
Crete
,
600
miles
.
There
are
many
other
Cities
of
this
Name
;
one
standing
in
Epyre
,
built
by
Augustus
;
another
between
Cilicia
and
Syria
,
built
by
Alexander
,
in
glory
of
his
Victory
against
Darius
;
a
fourth
in
Bythinia
;
a
fifth
in
the
Holy
Land
,
formerly
called
Emmaus
.
Of
Rome
.
THis
City
,
if
we
rightly
consider
the
derivation
of
the
Name
in
Hebrew
,
was
not
built
without
the
singular
Providence
of
God
;
being
derived
of
Rom
,
i.
He
hath
exalted
or
made
high
.
But
the
Grecians
derive
it
from
Romen
,
i.
Strength
and
Power
.
Now
although
the
Providence
of
God
extendeth
to
every
Creature
,
nay
,
to
the
very
hairs
of
a
Man's
Head
,
yet
where
he
determines
to
express
his
singular
Power
,
there
he
worketh
beyond
the
expectation
of
man
.
And
who
knows
not
that
the
beginning
of
this
City
was
mean
,
raised
from
a
confused
Company
,
destitute
both
of
Civility
,
Community
,
and
Laws
;
yet
hath
it
been
,
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
,
seven
hundred
fifty
and
one
years
before
the
Nativity
of
Christ
;
being
scituated
upon
seven
Hills
,
that
is
,
Capitolinus
,
Aventinus
,
Palatinus
,
Cealius
,
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
Hills
were
so
raised
up
with
Arches
,
Vaults
,
and
artificial
Mounts
,
that
in
process
of
time
they
became
level
with
the
top
of
some
of
those
Hills
.
It
was
beautified
with
fair
and
sumptuous
Buildings
;
so
that
as
it
was
the
head
of
the
World
for
Command
and
Power
,
in
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
above
all
,
that
was
the
most
sumptuous
that
was
called
Pantheon
Deorum
;
at
this
day
called
the
Church
of
Alhallows
.
Moreover
,
here
was
to
be
seen
the
Princely
Edifices
of
Kings
,
Emperours
,
Consuls
,
Senators
,
Patricians
,
and
other
Romans
,
who
were
mighty
in
Wealth
and
Substance
,
built
all
of
polished
Marble
,
beautified
with
Gold
and
Silver
;
beside
Palaces
,
Bulwarks
,
Theatres
,
triumphant
Arches
,
Statues
,
and
such
like
;
all
which
were
glorious
,
and
greatly
adorned
the
City
.
But
above
all
these
,
the
House
of
Nero
was
most
worthy
of
Observation
,
which
to
see
to
,
was
built
all
of
burnish'd
Gold
very
curiously
wrought
.
Here
also
stood
the
Monuments
of
the
two
Caesars
,
Iulius
and
Augustus
;
also
their
Statues
,
the
one
made
of
pure
Brass
,
the
other
of
white
Marble
.
Besides
,
there
were
many
fruitful
Orchards
,
Water
Courses
,
and
wholsome
Baths
,
brought
thither
by
Antonius
,
Nero
,
Dioclesian
,
and
Constantine
the
Great
.
Also
the
Emperour
Constantine
erected
many
goodly
Churches
for
the
use
of
the
Christians
,
and
endowed
them
with
great
means
;
and
amongst
the
rest
,
that
which
was
dedicated
to
St.
Iohn
of
Latteran
,
a
fair
and
goodly
Church
,
and
for
Riches
and
curious
Workmanship
might
compare
with
the
stateliest
Temples
that
ever
had
been
in
the
World
,
most
of
the
Ornaments
and
Images
being
made
of
Gold
and
Silver
:
he
also
erected
the
Vatican
,
which
was
dedicated
to
St.
Peter
;
and
another
holy
House
dedicated
to
St.
Paul
;
in
either
of
which
he
placed
their
several
Sepulchres
and
Monuments
,
bestowing
extraordinary
Cost
to
beautifie
them
.
So
many
were
the
Gifts
and
Gratuities
of
this
Emperour
,
that
they
can
scarce
be
numbred
;
so
that
although
the
Emperour
Trajan
,
and
Boniface
the
Fourth
,
Pope
of
Rome
,
bestowed
great
Cost
to
beautifie
and
adorn
the
City
,
yet
were
they
nothing
comparable
to
that
which
this
Emperour
did
.
These
things
then
being
presented
to
your
view
,
you
might
justly
say
,
That
Rome
in
her
Prosperity
and
Eminency
was
the
Glory
of
the
World
;
but
as
all
Estates
are
fickle
and
uncertain
,
still
subject
to
Variety
and
Change
,
so
was
this
:
first
envied
of
the
World
,
because
of
the
extream
oppression
of
her
Governours
;
and
after
made
desolate
by
Violence
and
Force
,
all
her
former
Glory
being
eclipsed
,
and
the
greatest
part
of
these
goodly
Buildings
laid
level
with
the
Ground
.
Thus
have
I
shewed
you
what
Rome
was
when
it
was
in
her
Prosperity
;
it
resteth
now
to
shew
what
Rome
is
.
Rome
at
this
day
differeth
as
much
from
the
ancient
Rome
as
the
Substance
from
the
Shadow
.
For
,
although
the
Pope
hath
beautified
and
adorned
the
West
part
of
it
with
many
fair
and
goodly
Buildings
,
and
called
it
by
the
name
of
new
Rome
;
yet
it
is
nothing
comparable
to
the
ancient
City
,
as
it
was
when
Augustus
and
Constantine
the
Great
were
Emper●ours
thereof
,
neither
doth
it
stand
in
the
ancient
place
;
for
the
first
City
stood
upon
the
East
side
of
Tyber
,
this
upon
the
West
.
The
chief
part
of
the
other
stood
upon
the
Mountains
Capitolinus
and
Palatinus
,
upon
which
were
the
stately
Buildings
of
Senators
,
Kings
,
and
Emperours
,
but
now
they
lye
desolate
and
waste
.
The
Capitol
also
,
and
the
Temple
of
Iupiter
Feretrius
(
goodly
Buildings
)
beaten
to
the
Ground
;
only
some
Ruines
,
to
shew
that
such
things
there
hath
been
.
And
what
now
resteth
,
that
are
worthy
note
,
are
in
the
Command
and
Power
of
the
Pope
;
which
are
not
many
:
the
most
that
can
be
named
,
are
the
Vatican
,
the
Tower
of
S.
Angelo
,
the
Pope's
Palace
,
his
Banquetting-house
,
and
the
Gardens
and
Walks
about
it
;
which
are
so
well
scituated
,
that
they
are
a
grace
to
all
Rome
,
the
rest
are
but
ordinary
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
,
seldom
continueth
;
for
who
knows
not
with
what
labour
,
what
perils
by
Sea
,
what
dangers
by
Land
,
through
how
many
Forein
Wars
and
Domestick
Seditions
Rome
was
raised
to
her
greatness
?
And
how
suddenly
was
all
this
lost
?
What
the
Vertue
and
Wisdom
of
grave
and
resolute
Consuls
,
Captains
and
Commanders
had
with
great
hazard
heaped
up
,
thrusting
their
Capitol
and
other
Treasuries
full
with
the
Triumphant
Spoyls
of
Forein
Nations
,
was
left
to
be
consumed
either
by
Seditious
Souldiers
or
prodigal
Emperours
,
and
the
State
left
as
a
Prey
to
those
that
were
mightiest
;
so
that
they
were
accounted
most
honourable
,
that
with
most
Injury
could
get
to
themselves
either
Countenance
to
oversway
Authority
,
or
Opulency
to
purchase
Eminency
;
insomuch
that
there
hath
been
no
action
so
evil
,
nor
any
attempt
so
pernicious
in
former
times
,
but
may
be
match'd
in
the
declining
of
the
Roman
State
:
Where
more
Murthers
?
where
more
Corruption
?
where
more
Oppression
than
is
mentioned
in
Histories
to
be
practised
amongst
the
Romans
?
the
Lives
of
Men
,
the
state
of
Provinces
,
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
learn
to
know
the
difference
between
Virtue
and
Vice
;
and
from
thence
conclude
,
that
there
is
nothing
permanent
;
and
that
those
things
wherein
men
most
glory
do
oftentimes
soonest
decay
.
For
if
this
City
which
commanded
the
Nations
and
Princes
of
the
Earth
(
whose
Colonies
,
Armies
,
Legions
,
Confederacies
,
and
Treasures
were
so
Mighty
,
and
extended
so
far
,
that
there
was
almost
no
Countrey
unconquered
,
or
Nation
that
did
not
fear
to
hear
the
Inhabitants
thereof
named
)
is
made
desolate
and
laid
level
with
the
Ground
▪
what
then
may
be
said
of
petty
Cities
,
Towns
,
Lordships
,
Manors
and
Houses
;
shall
not
they
likewise
be
subject
to
the
like
Calamities
,
and
wasted
and
destroyed
through
the
continuance
of
time
?
Verily
yea
.
Wherefore
let
not
the
King
glory
in
his
Power
,
nor
the
strong
man
in
his
Strength
,
nor
the
Rich
man
in
his
Riches
:
but
let
him
that
glorieth
glory
in
the
Lord
.
