A concent of Scripture, by H. Broughton

A Concent of Scripture.

THe heauenly Concent of holy Wryters, who haue penned for vs the booke of Trueth, is needefull to be knowen for to strengthen our Fayth, that we may see a constant agreement in seuerall ages,* 1.1 for matters often tolde in di∣uers partes and maner. Touchyng that, I la∣bour in this Booke to lay downe certayne principall heades drawen through the whole body of Scripture. The beginnyng ought to be from hym who is A and 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉,* 1.2 the begin∣nyng and the ende: who filleth all with his goodnes. Thereof this is a true saying, and founde intertaynement of all the fayth full that GOD is one, and there is none but he. Of this, that is grauen on the Gate of that fyrst and great Commaundement:* 1.3 Heare ISRAFL, IEHO∣VAH, our GOD IEHOVAH, is one. Whom if we loue with all our hart, mynde, soule, and strength: and holde them happy whose ☽ 1.4 God IEHOVAH is, we must learne to know him aright. The name IEHOVAH importeth BEING, which the Eternal sayth is his name. ‡ 1.5 Vnder this name and nature, there be three, the Father, the Worde, and the holy Ghost, and these three are one. The WORDE is the Sonne, and he is§ 1.6 IEHOVAH, as Iohn Cha. 12, 41. expoundeth Esay. 6, 9. The holy Ghost isa 1.7 IEHOVAH, as Paule expoundeth the same text of Esay, Acte. 28, 25. This name is opened thus:b 1.8 WHO WAS, WHO IS, WHO WILBE. The names IAH, & EHIEH,c 1.9 (I, AM) are of the same force. Though mens blynde hartes can not thus know God: The Scriptures are manifest, that teach the Trinitie, and the holy Tongues of all ages so spake of God. Most playnely is that shewed in the beginnyng & ende of our Lord his preachyng. Mat. 3 1. & 28, 19. For that purpose God geueth hym selfe a named ELOHIM: which is in meanyng MIGHTY,† 1.10 in forme plurall, as Gramarians speake: which as Prophane men speake it, by frame of language soundeth GODDES. God woulde neuer so speake of hym selfe, vnlesse he would haue vs to consider thereby the diuine persons. For the forme were dangerous, if necessitie required not knowledge of distinct di∣uine persons. The enemies graunt a mystery in that forme, with at∣tributes plurall: Aben Ezra vpon Psal. 11. who also citeth R. Iaphath, there.

This name hath also a forme singulare 1.11 ELOAH, & a shorterf 1.12 EL. These formes singular are fit to teach, of the vnitie of Godhead: and lykewyse the other when the attributes speake of one, as ELOHIM, (GOD) he created. But to manifest distinct persons often do the ••earmes ioyned speake in the number of many, as yf I shoulde say THEY God.‖ 1.13 Gen. 20, 13. They God caused 2. Sam. 7, 22. They God went.

e SHADDAI also doth God call him selfe MIGHTY, RICH, or AL∣SVFFICIENT: Though the Greke Diuines reteyne not the letters, but ••n a composition* 1.14 TZVRI SHADDAI, My rocke is God. The Heathen of olde heard of these names, and turned them to sundry Goddes. But Israel did not so. All faythfull know that GOD is one, and the

persons three:* 1.15 and that he regardeth all them, that feeke him in spir•••• and trueth: who is a spirite eternal, infinite, holy, iust, and mercifull. Vnsearchable are his iudgementes:* 1.16 but the open thynges are for vs. GOD hath chosen vs in CHRIST, before the worlde was made: and of eternitie knew all his owne workes. In sixe dayes God made all creatures, Man last, and gaue them a commaundement: which how soone they brake Moses turneth to tell after mention of the Sabbath. The Lord rested the seauenth day from creatyng, and appoynted that day for holy rest: which the Fathers obserued before Moses.

Now the man and his wyfe were both naked, & were not ashamed.* 1.17 Ouer them God gaue his Angels charge: but some Angels stoode not in the trueth, nor kept their standyng, but fell as Starre•• from heauen, and became an enemious company, and staunderers of God. In Ebrew Satan, & in the Grake Deuels. Of beastes the Serpent was subtilest: into whom Satan entred: spake to the woman agaynst God, and his commaundement: perswaded her, who drew the man also to breake the commandement. Then they both became dead in sinne. So from the beginning, as sone as man was, Satan was a lyer and a murtherer: and therefore marueyle not that the wrath of God is so vehement vp∣pon ADAM through al his generatiō:, because quickly sinne was com∣mitted to the extremitie. The circumstaunces shew the spedines of it. Satan woulde omit no tyme: the woman if she had ben practised better woulde not so sone haue erred: their speach sheweth that no Fruite had been eaten before. Doubtles the woman fell a Virgin: and yf they had stoode but a short tyme, the blessing of God had not been in vayne for propagation. Aboue all reasones this must be confidered, that the Redemption was to be shewed presently vpon the Creation. For that is the fyttest to mooue men to holde it: and God omitteth nothyng that best helpeth to that. This shoulde moue all men to put no trust in them selues: for that* 1.18 Adam hauyng once iustice, and true holynes, did not lodge one nyght in honoure, but became lyke the Beastes that pe∣rysh. And the lyght that shyneth in darknes, mooued men of all reli∣gions to holde this. For this opinion hath been euery where receyued, that they fell the day of their creation. So the Ievves generally holde. I heard neuer of one that was of an other iudgement: and yet many of them see not how fitly they say, for the Redemption by the seconde Adam. The Heathen‡ 1.19 Christians haue helde this from the beginnyng. The Gre••et Ireneus, Chryostome, Theodorus, Theophylast, and Cedrenus age. They haue a common sentence at this day, in speache of Adam: that in one day he was formed and deformed: by dryuing out of the Garden. What shoulde I name Latines, as Augustine and Bernarde? the§ 1.20 simplest learned this much. Adam myght better then Iob curse the day wherein he was made and yet CHRIST is then promised a Redeemer. There∣vpon Adam nameth the Woman LIFE: seeying how she redeemed from death shoulde be the mother of Chyldren that by CHRIST myght lyue for euer. The affections of Chyldren to theyr Mothers should moue them to know the trueth of this poynt. I wyl once againe in fitte place repeate this: and hence to Christ his death wyll by yeeres expresse the direct state of the Worlde, repeatyng these last poyntes•• of the speedy fall, and comfortable Redemption.

Ezra. 2, 13. Apoc. 13. VVherefore let none dreame that he riseth frō Dan: vvhose Tribe vvas skattered a thousand yeeres before the Popes supremacie. None of Israel forsake the idolles of Egypt. Ezek. 20. Therefore God geueth o∣uer their children to the sworde. Exod. 1. This is the only time since the Flood: that Satā might with most liklihood brag that he had ouercōe the whole earth.

Neuerthelesse vvhere as God geueth Abraham a te∣stimonie of carefulnes in teaching his house. It vvas good for vs, to haue holy monumentes to register their religion: That doth the booke of Iob afforde in 23 vvyse ora∣tions. VVhereupon the Lord him selfe cōmeth moderator of the dis∣putatiō. In the nevv Testamēt their speaches be often cited to most vveighty purposes: and the vvhole booke is a diuine commen∣tarie vpon Genesis. The chyldren of Israel filled the land, and a nevv King arose that knevv not Ioseph, vvho vexed thē, and caused them to serue, and cōmaunded the Midvviues to kil the male children: and vvhē thus he profited nothing, he charged his people to cast euery man child that sholde be borne into the Riuer. SATAN compasseth all the Earth. IOB in the land of Hus is sure that his re∣deemer liueth, and that he shal stande the latter man vpon the earth. Iob. 19, 25.

MOSES was faythfull in all his house as a seruant.	2441	he called Bildad of Suach A∣brahams sonne, with the o∣ther disputers, his brethrē. Though Eliphaz be of Esau, and Elihu of Nahor, yet Iob must far rather be of Ke∣turah, and a token of Gods testimonie to Abraham for instructing his posteritie. ELIPHAZ Iobs felovv, is a Temanite: of Teman, of Eliphaz, of Esau, of Isaac, of Abraham: about the seuenth frō Abrahā: elder then Iobs father, if he speake of him selfe.

A Serpent to the Philistines: in the Foxes, Asseiavv, & house postes: the heeles of that Horse vvhervpon 3000 Philistines rode, & fellbackvvard. Gen. 49. IACOB looked for God to be his saluation in Christ: vvho in death shoulde ouercome his enemies: and saue him selfe. From Zora & Estaol Dans idolatrie sprang, and from E∣phraims eleuen hundred sicles: for vvhich Israel suffered op∣pressours an hundred and eleuen yeeres: and Dalilas eleuen hun∣drethes of Sicles ouerthrevve Samsō Vpon vvhō at Zora & Estaol Gods spirite came. ELY of Leui of Ithamar 40 yeeres. 1. Sam. 4, 18. HE in zeale is vnlike Phinehas of Eleazar: vvho killing the Fornicators, stayed the Plague, & receiued from God a couenant of peace. Nō. 25.

Samuel is a nevv Moses: & cōparable to him in many poynts. Both of Leui, vvere kings 40 Y.	2841	Ephraim needed no glory: & yet for Ioseph & Iosuahs sake God vvould geue them one Iudge: Ephraī despised Ma∣nasses: nothing regarding Iair for iudgshyp: nor his Cities nor sonnes: nor Gideon for discō∣fiture of Madiā & Amalek: nor Iephte for Ammō though for their lisping pride therein, 42 thousand smarted. Michas Idolatrie frō mount Ephraim infecting Leui & Dan, might haue humbled them: vvhereby they three have the last and least glory among the Iudges: vntyll their idolatrie is by Samuel re∣moued, after the transmigration of the Land. Also that Idolatry might be a great cause, that God gaue vp 4000 of Israel in a better cause to Beniamins svvorde. That Historie is ioyned to Samsons death, to geue a close vvarning of Gods displea∣sure in Samson: & Ely: & in remouing the Arke frō Syloh. Yet for due time is must be placed as I haue set it: though great men olde & nevv thinke othervvise. This one reason of many may serue: Phinehas vvas then a∣liue: and about 90 Y. aged: In Chusans first yere, to haue 266 yeeres more by Samsons fall: it vvere strange. The Ebrews that gaue him so many, spake as the phrase lyeth, accordyng to their maner, not as they thinke, in proper trueth. So they make Naamah Noahs vvife: and Dina Iobs: Thamar Mel∣chisedecs daughter: because in open phrase better men cannot be named▪ though in truth it cannot be so. So in Phrase Melchise∣dec cōtinueth for euer as GOD. In Zoar vpō Gen. 14. & Heb 7. So folovving the phrase in 18 se∣uerall Scriptures of the Iudges		12

That he ac∣knowledged: Pilate graunted: and the Iewes could name none but Caesar to hinder his right. Before the starre shewed, and Herod sought one borne a King. Afterwarde a further Kingdome is shewed. At that day when the halfe seauen came: Dan. 9. that the sonne was sealed, or was made as a signet, Agg. 2. Cantic. 8. 6. Then he is called Christ, Ioh. 1. 17. & hauing cōfirmed the Testament for ma∣ny by his bloud: when they looked that the King∣dom of heauen shoulde appeare: then is he made heire of all, ouer all powers in this worlde, and in that to come.

    Iehouah sayd to Aggei: Speake vnto Zorobabel Duke of Iuda, saying: I will shake heauen & earth, and ouer∣throwe the throne of kings, (cōteined in the Image Daniel. 2. and beasts. Dan. 7.) At that day, saith Iehouah of hosts: I will take thee Zorobabel the sonne of Sa∣lathiel. O my ser∣uant, saith Ieho∣uah, & wil make thee as a signet: for I haue cho∣sen thee saith Ie∣houah of hostes.

THE state of the fourtie yeeres of IEREMIE is more largely handled in Gods booke,* 1.25 thē that euery yeres story may be touched once in one line: wherefore I wyll so farre breake of the Chronicle, as to make some dis∣course of thinges fallyng out within it.* 1.26 All IOSIAS dayes IEREMY taught freely,* 1.27 that IERVSALEM should be as SYLOH. The king reformed his state, kept a most solenne Passeouer, and looked for captiuitie: but God reiourned it vntyl his death. SOPHONY after reformation, war∣neth the kinges sonnes of Gods iudgement,* 1.28 and blameth many for closse Idolatrie. On EGYPT they stayed, whose king NECHO killed at MAGEDDON, IOSIAS the vncted of IEHOVAH. That ZACHARY re∣membreth.* 1.29 Cha. 12. and sheweth, that such shalbe their mournyng for kil∣lyng of CHRIST: but to better cōfort. Then Necho helde CARCHEMYS against ASSVR, and displaced king IOACHAZ, carrying him into EGYPT, and placed ELIAKIM king in IVDAH, changing his name vnto IEHOI∣AKYM. In the first yeere of Iehoiakym Ieremy doth prophecie, that SAL∣LVM or IOACHAZ shall not returne from EGYPT but dye there. Chr. 22. That NABVCHADNEZAR shalbe king of BABEL:* 1.30 & TZEDEKIAS of IVDAH: that IERVSALEM shalbe made as SYLOH. VRIAH is kylde, & IEREMY quit. His thyrd yeere endyng, and much of his fourth,* 1.31 is the fyrst of Nabuchadnezar. Then Ieremy prophecieth that NECHOS Garrisons of CARCHEMYS, and al EGYPT shalbe subdued by Nabuchadnezar. The for∣mer presently tooke effect. Nabuchadnezar commeth agaynst Ierusalem, and Ieremy telleth againe more particulerly of Nabuchadnezars power and king∣dome to be great for seauentie yeeres:* 1.32 and of Ierusalems desolation for seauentie. Then Ierusalem besieged his taken, IEHOAKIM, DANIEL, ANA∣NIAS, AZARIAS, and MISAEL, with others of the kinges stocke, are brought to BABEL. The king is sent home agayne, & made tributarie to Nabuchadnezar.* 1.33 The same yeere: and the next Ieremy lamenteth Ierusalem. BARVC is his Scribe, readeth his Lamentations: which IEHOAKYM cut in peeces: thereupon God telleth that he shal be buried as an Asse. Three yeeres Iehoakym serued Nabuchadnezar, the next herebelleth. Three yeeres Daniel, Ananias, Azarias, and Misael, bestowe in Chaldean studies: hauyng shewed rare care and courage in straight obedience to MOSES ceremo∣nies. When Iehoakym rebelled, then the other are found ten tymes better learned then the Chaldeans, by the kyng: and appoynted of hym to serue in his Court.* 1.34 So Esays prophecy is fulfylled. 2. King. 20. DANIEL had also skill in Visions and Dreames: whose case I compared before with IO∣SEPHS for tyme of shewyng skyll, for kinges affection, for excellyng Magicians, for aduauncement to the mayntenaunce of their brethren. Two yeere after he had shewed the kyng the dexteritie of his studie,* 1.35 The king in one dreame seeth how BABEL alone, MADAI and PARAS ioyntly, IAV AN fyrst ioyntly, after parted, in EGYPT and BABEL shoulde rule many Nations, & afflict EBER vntil the birth of our Lord, the king of all kinges: as Esa. 9. This he saw in one Image, and forgate his dreame. DANIEL saw the same: remembred it: taught it the king: is made a great man: preferreth Ananias, Azarias, and Misael, to be rulers in BABEL. Sone after the king setteth vp a great Image: and casteth Ananias, Azarias,* 1.36 and Misael, into a Fornace of flaming fyre, accused to refuse the worshyp∣ping of it.* 1.37 When they went into the Fire IEHOVAH went with them: and Nabuchadnezar saw one like the sonne of God. By fayth they quenched

the force of fyre. The king is amazed, maketh it death to speake amysse of their God: yet Iehoakym in Iudah repenteth not, of oppression, & blood∣shed,* 1.38 and sacrilege, and vnloyaltie. Ierusalem is agayne taken: Iehoakym bound fyrst: at the last, cast away vnburied, as an Asse deserued. IEHOI∣ACHIN his sonne is now eyghteene yeeres olde,* 1.39 who was ten when HE (the Father) was made king: he was king three monethes: of hym Ieremy tolde, that none of his seede shoulde sit vpon DAVIDS throne, and that he shoulde die chyldles.* 1.40 MATHANIAS his brother by generall terme of coosenage: His fathers brother properly, in successiō his sonne is made king by Nabuchadnezar, as God tolde Ieremy. Foure yere Ieremy labou∣reth to teach how nations must beare the yoke of BABEL: After Iechonias and Mordochay were caryed away. In his fourth yeere ANANIAS prophe∣cyeth falsely: that within two yeeres God will breake the yoke of the king of BABEL, and restore IECHONIAS home, and all that were caryed with hym: Ieremy telleth Ananias that for his false prophecie he should dye that same yeere: which death of his fell out as it was foretolde. The same yeere Ieremy writeth to Israel caryed to Babel, that they shoulde looke for the ende of seuentie yeeres before they looked to returne. Also, he sendeth to Babylon a prophecie of the fall of Babylon,* 1.41 larger then that in ESAY. Chap. 13. & 14. & 21. Or that in ABAKVK Chap. 2. and charged the bearer SARAYAS ruler of Menucha, who was sent from TZEDEKIA•• to Babel that he shoulde reade the Prophecie at Euphrates: then shoulde he tye it to a Stone, and cast it into the myddle of Euphrates, saying: Thus shall Babylon be drowned.* 1.42 The lyke are we taught, Apo. 18. touching ROME, called BABYLON in a mysterie. Then a myghty Angell tooke vp a Stone lyke a great Milstone, and cast it in••o the Sea, saying: with such violence shal the great citie Babylon be cast and shalbe no more found. As Ieremy writes to Babylon to keepe Israel in true patience,* 1.43 and hope of deliueraunce: so false Prophetes in Babylon resisted him: One ACHAB and TZEDEKIAS,* 1.44 of whom he prophecyeth that Nabuchadnezar will make them an ensample, and a byworde of myserably cursed: burnyng them in fyre. We may be sure so it fell out, because they styrred men to fall away from his obedience. He that spared not the Chaldeans, Dan. 2. would not spare them. Also in Babylon there was a man called SAMAIAH, who wrote to Ierusalem agaynst Ieremy, that he shoulde be clapt vp in Lytle-ease, for writyng to Babel that their captiuitie shoulde be long. IEREMY from God sendeth him a bitter answere: He calleth him a Neclemite: which is, a Dreamer. It may be his family came of NACHAM 1. Chr. 4, 19. and as he pretended, that the punishers of Ieremy shoulde fo∣lowe Iehoiada:* 1.45 so myght Ieremy taunthim, that he was rather to be cal∣led a dreamyng Neclemite, then a Noe-like Nachamite: for of Nacham, (which meaneth comfortyng) had NOE his name. Gen. 5. Of him Ie∣remy wryteth, that in Babylon his family shall peryshe.

When Ieremy had ben thus resisted,* 1.46 by false Prophetes, God styrreth vp Ezekiel to perswade the remnant by wryting, that they shoulde be caryed to Babel.* 1.47 He was captiued when Iechonias and Mardochai were. His exam∣ple,* 1.48 and the experience of two Captiuities myght haue warned them not to store vp wrath: but to marke how Israel pylde by PVL, captiued and pylde in part to strayght slauery by Tiglath-Pel-esar, had ful payment to bondage by Salman-asar. So Iudaht Citie already surprised twise by

IEHOIAKYMS frowardnes, was now past hope of abilitie to resist one set vp a Conquerer for their sinnes, when they dayly more and more prouoked Christ agaynst them.* 1.49 The thyrteth yeere after the solenne Passeouer, & fyndyng of MOSES originall, EZEKIEL seeth the glory of God and Christ: also he seeth the mynistery of the Angels, which in wit excell, in might are strong, in seruice vnweary, in quicknes flit: them he saw in forme of bodyed weightes, bearyng in part the forme of a Man, of a Lyon, of on Oxe, of an Egle: they had also wynges: and a voyce was heard: of the blessed glory of IEHOVAH from his place. The Christi∣ans redeemed from the Heathen,* 1.50 haue much the lyke. Apo. 4. Here were also wheeles within wheeles with fellyes full of eyes: whereby the cre∣ature ruled by an endles foresight, ought to be meaned. There appeared besydes vpon a Sapphyre throne the lykenes of a man, with the sight of fyre myxt with the Raynebowes coloure. So Christ sheweth hym selfe afore the ende of ten Calamities named Esa. 6.* 1.51 Now Ezekiel in Table, Dyet, and lying on his Sides, betokeneth that Ierusalem by siege, and famyne, shalbe taken: wherein note specially the tyme, applying a day to a yeere. Three hundred and ninetie dayes represent so many yeeres from the fallyng away by IEROBOAM. By so many yeeres shall Ierusalem be destroyed, and left defolate. In the ende of them, when you are within fourtie of the last, on the other syde, was Ezekiel to lye fourty dayes for a new remembraunce of the sinne of IVDAH: who shoulde be destroyed as aforesayd: and that when fourtie yeeres shoulde be accomplyshed in the preachyng of Ieremy, whom they so much despised. Famous woulde God haue the paynes of that his seruaunt.* 1.52 The same tyme Ezekiel sha∣uyng his head, and partyng the heare, sheweth IVDAHS case. One part ••he burnt with fyre: an other part he cut with a sworde: the thyrde part ••he skattered into the wynde. One part he bound vp: and soone after ••he brent also that part. So Israel shoulde peryshe in besiege by famyne, pestilence, and such dispertion, and a small remnaunt for a whyle left with Gedaliah, shoulde soone by Ismael come to nothyng.* 1.53 The next yeere agayne he seeth the glory of Christ, leauyng the Temple, the Che∣rubim accompanying, and goyng to Mount Oliuet. The lyke forsakyng of the Temple Christ shewed with his Disciples in the dayes of his ••••eshe. Mat. 24. But Iudah knew not God in Christ, reconcyling the worlde vnto hym selfe. Thus the two yeeres confute Ananias the false Prophet. In the seuenth of Tzedekias Ezekiel telleth that Israel brought from the Wildernes into the PLEASANT LANDE, shalbe brought agayne into the Wildernes of the Heathen. Note that to be the name of Chanaan,* 1.54 the PLEASANT LANDE in Eze. 20. & Dan: 8 and PLEASANT Mountayne. Dan. 11, for Syon or Ierusalem. In that yeere Ezekiel calleth Tzedechias a pro∣phane bad man: and telleth of his abasing, & Ie-chonias aduancement: & the Crowne ouerturned, & that the Kingdōe shal be no more vntyl HE commeth to whom it belongeth. He meaneth thereby CHRIST:* 1.55 who shall fit vpon the throne of DAVID for euer. Luk. 1. To this place of Ezekiel respected Nathanael, when he sayth to the Lord:* 1.56 Thou art the Sonne of GOD: thou art the king of ISRAEL: acknowledgyng that he was come ••o whom it belonged.* 1.57 In the yere of Rest, Seruantes were made free ac∣cording to Moses: whom their Maisters made bound againe against the Law: thereupon Ieremy telleth of their bondage.

In the ninth yeere of the second Captiuitie,* 1.58 that is since Iechonias Mard••∣chai, and Ezekiel, were carryed captiues, and Tzedechias was made king: the tenth month,* 1.59 the tenth day of the month,* 1.60 Ezekiel is tolde in Mesopota∣mia that,* 1.61 Nabuchaduezar that very day in Iudea layde siege to Ierusalem.* 1.62 Then God lykneth Ierusalem vnto a pot seethyng full of flesh, vntyl al be marde. Ezekiels wyfe dyeth: for whom he is forbid to mourne, as his peoples sorow for the chyldren of Ierusalem shoulde be greater then open mour∣nyng myght expresse. Notwithstanding al this, at Ierusalem litle thought they that their Citie should be destroyed: and Ieremy is in Prison, for say∣ing that God woulde deliuer Ierusalem into the hand of the king of Babel. First in straight prison.* 1.63 Cha. 37. after in the court prison, after that in a dungeon, thence is brought againe to the court prison, wherein he tarieth vntyll the Citie is taken.* 1.64 In Tzedechias tenth yeere the Prophete buyeth a peece of ground of Chanameel his vnckles sonne,* 1.65 in token that after their cariage to Babel, there shal be for Iudah a returne, and policy to buye & sel. The same tyme he confirmeth the people in expectatiō of Christ: which couenaunt is stronger that the heauens order. The same yeere Ezekiel•• prophecyeth that Pharoah king of Egypt (who had ben as a Reede to the house of Israel) should be ouerrun, as before Ieremy had tolde. Cha. 44. And in these tymes of siege,* 1.66 extreame sorow befell in Israel by plague, famine, and sworde. Fathers did eate their chyldren, and chyldren their fathers. Moses foresaw and foretolde that.* 1.67 A greater desolation is after told,* 1.68 whe•••• CHRIST is vtterly denyed by them.* 1.69 In the eleuenth yeere of Tzedechias▪ the fourth month,* 1.70 the Citie is taken:* 1.71 Then Nergal, Sarezer & other Noble of Babylon enter into it. The Heathen make Nerighsarus one of the kinge•• of Babel: a pettie king well he might be vnder Nabuchadnezar, but none o•• the chiefe three, for whose reigne only Iudah should be in Babel. These Po∣tentates of Babel executyng the iudgement of Christ,* 1.72 by the close assistanc•• of his Angels, are perfourmers of that vision which Ezekiel saw in Tzede∣chias sixt yeere: when Angels lyke men come from the north Gate, the•• another man marketh them in the Forehad that mourned for the sinn•• of the Citie,* 1.73 that they might be kept safe. That falleth out in Ieremy, Bar•••••• Abdemelech, and such godly. So in the spirituall fall from the fayth to Idolatry, which the Apocalyps reuealeth: An Angell commeth from th•• East,* 1.74 and sealeth a great number: who makes seuen Trumpeters agayns•• king Abaddon. Now by nyght Tzedechias fled through the kinges Garden▪ and through the gate betweene the two walles: and he went through th•• fieldes:* 1.75 the Chaldeans ouertooke him at Iericho: brought him to Riblah, con∣demned him, slew his chyldren before his eyes, and brought him to Babe••▪ but he neuer saw Babel, being made blynde before. This, Ezekiel wa•• taught in Tzedechias sixt yeere,* 1.76 when he was commaunded to prepare in∣struments of transmigration: and to change place before his peoples ey•••• on the day lyght: and in the night to goe foorth before them, and dygg•• hole in a wall, and to bring those that beheld him through that hole: th•••• he was to couer his owne face, that he should not see that Land. Th•••• the wheeles of Gods gouernement appeare ful of eyes, that so according∣ly ruled Tzedechias case.* 1.77 The nintenth yere of Nabuchadnezar the first mon•••• Nebuzaradan burned the house of IEHOV AH, the kinges house, and all th•• Nobles houses.

IERVSALEM called IEHOVAH-There. Eze. 48 Apo. 21.

	Gabriels 70 SEVENS.	Jesus		World
	2		14	into his ovvne temple at Salem Ag. 2. apposeth at 12 y Doctors: after is a Carpender. Mar. 6. Beginning to be 30. Is baptized, manifested by the spirit, and by the father appoynted the tea∣cher, vvhom vve must heare. VVhen he teacheth, he reformeth the corruptions of the Doctors: teacheth fully vvhat Moses shortly taught: Of the Gentiles election: of him selfe destroying by death, Satans vvorkes, and Salems ceremonies. His mira∣cles proue him to be GOD. His parables are after the Psalme 75. THE L. is baptized, in Tisri, seeing the fourth passouer ended halfe a seuen: vvhen the lambe of God CHRIST is kilde, leauing Bread and VVine for the Lambe. He dyed the day that Satan murdered Adam in the beginnyng. * 1.78 Gen. 3. Ioh. 8. and by death ouercame hym that had the povver of death. Of Adams day agree Ebrewes, Chaldeans, Arabians, Grekes, Latines, Barbarians, of all Religions and ages: and sundry Scriptures that may not be vvrested. The Startuppe•• that vvould not haue Christ proclaymed heyre of all, the first day of man, blaspheme that vvhich they knovv not. Our first Mo∣thers name might teach them that auncient vvay to the doctrine of lyfe. The Sabbath vvholly the Lord resteth, vvhich Adam neuer savv vvholly kept. Therein he finished that Ceremony. The first day of the vveeke his resurrection maketh the Lord his day. Apo. 1. He appeareth fourty dayes: is taken vp into the Heauens, and sitteth on the ryght hande of the maiesty in the hyghest, vntyll he maketh his enimies his footestole. His openest enemies novv, vvere the Iewes that denyed hym, and the Romanes, by vvhose policy he vvas crucified. The King vvas vpon this to destroy the kinges ovvne Nation, Citie, and Sanctuarie. Of that he foretolde them, that their place shoulde be desolate. Mat. 24. and of the proper token: vvhen Ierusalem should be besuged of an host. Luk. 2•••• And referreth men to Daniel. 9. vvherein Gabriel teacheth the full doctrine touchyng Christ, and of the destructiō of the Iewes. The vvhole state spake the same, saying: yf vve let him goe (by his resurrection they coulde not chose) all men vvill beleeue on hym and the Romanes vvyll come and destroy our Place, and Nation. Ioh. 11. Yet vvhen Stephen sayd, that IESVS of Nazareth vvoulde destroy that Place: they helde it blasphemy in an other to speake so of their Place, though he had the countenance and vvordes of the Angell Gabriel. Act. 6. The Lord closely limitted the tyme, tellyng hovv that generation should not passe, vntyll all those thinges shoulde be perfourmed. By the most mens accompt it vvas fourty yeres: so it falleth a day for an yere, for misbeleeuing there surrection. Of the Romanes speaketh Paul of the remouing of the Empire, and of the sinfull rysing, in lieu of hym. Of that mischiefe spake our Lord. Mat. 24. and the matter myght tell that the Citie by vvhich he vvas kilde, vvasvvorthiest to be in this curse. Of this I wyll ioyne here a narration, somewhat large: and after conclude in the doctrine of the kingdome.	3491	like that frō Egypt. Bochai vpon Gen. 49. Mary is here greater then Moses sister. Eli∣sabet Maries cosen matcheth Elisabet the other Maries cosen: for Iudah and L••••ui it is alike. Here Ioseph of Iacob feedeth a better ISRAEL in Egypt then thother did. Gē. 47. The godly in a synode conclude that Christ is novv come: vvho vvas spoken of by the Prophetes. By mistaking the tyme of Za∣charyes ministerie our Lorde his byrth is mistaken. For by a tale that he ministred in the feast of Tabernacles, Iohns byrth is cast to Mydsommer, and the Lordes to sixe monethes after Tongues novv buyld, at Salem.
