The works of the Reverend and learned John Lightfoot D. D., late Master of Katherine Hall in Cambridge such as were, and such as never before were printed : in two volumes : with the authors life and large and useful tables to each volume : also three maps : one of the temple drawn by the author himself, the others of Jervsalem and the Holy Land drawn according to the author's chorography, with a description collected out of his writings.

§. 2. The Pentecost on which the Holy Ghost was given, was the first day of the week, namely, Sunday, or the Lords day.

As our Saviour by rising on the first day of the week had honoured and sealed that day for the Christian Sabbath, instead of the Jewish, which was the day before; and as is said by the Psalmist, that was the day which the Lord had made, when the stone refused, was become the head of the corner; so did he again augment the honour, and set home the authority and dignity of that day, in pouring out the Holy Ghost upon the Disciples, and performing the great promise of the Father on it. Which that it may be the more clearly seen, it will not be amiss to lay down the time from our Saviours passion, to this time, in manner of a Calendar, that the readers eye may be his Judge in this matter.

And let it not be tedious to take in the account of five or six days before his passion: which though it may be a little Parergon, or besides this purpose, yet may it not be use∣less or unprofitable: nay, in some respect it is almost necessary, since we cannot in reason but begin our Kalendar from the beginning of the month Nisan, though our Saviour suf∣fered not till the fifteenth day of it.

Saturday, or Jews Sabbath.	IX.		This night our Saviour suppeth at Bethany, where Mary anointeth his feet, and Judas repineth at the expence of the ointment, Joh. 12. 1.
	X.		The next day he rideth into Jerusalem, &c, Joh. 12. 12. Matth. 21. 1. to vers. 17. Mark. 11. 1. to vers. 11. Luke 19. 29. to vers. 45.
Sunday.			At night he goeth again into Bethany, Matth. 21. 17. Mark 11. 11.
Munday.	XI.		The next day he goeth to Jerusalem again, and curseth the Fig-tree, Matth. 21. 18, 19. Mark 11. 12, 13, 14. and coming to the Temple casteth out buyers and sellers, Mark 11. 15, 16, 17, 18. Luke 19. 45, 46, 47. &c.
			At Even he goeth to Bethany again, Mark 11. 19.
Tuesday.	XII.		He goeth to Jerusalem again, Mark 11. 20. Peter, and the rest of the Disciples note the withred Fig-tree, Mark 11. 20, 21. &c. Matth. 21. 20. &c. They come to the Temple, and the Scribes and Pha∣risees question his authority, Mark 11. 27. &c. Matth. 21. 23. Luke 20. 1. which he answereth with a question about the Baptist, Matth. 21. 24. &c. Mar. 11. 29. &c. Luke 20. 3. Propounded the Parable of the Vineyard, Matth. 21. 28. to the end, Mark 12. 1. &c. Luke 20. 9. &c. And he speaketh all contained in Matthew 22, &

23 Chapters; and Mark 12. from verse 13 to the end, and Luke 20. from verse 20. to verse 5. of Chap. 21.
			At night he goeth towards Bethany again; and on Mount Olivet looketh on the Temple, and uttereth all contained in Matth. 24, & 25. and Mark 13. and Luke 21. from verse 5. to the end.
			This night he suppeth in Bethany with Simon the Leper, Matth. 26.* 1.1 1, 2, 6. Mark 14. 1, 2, 3. and hath ointment poured on his head: after Supper he riseth from the Table, and washeth his Disciples feet, and giveth Judas the sop, Joh. 13. 2, 26. &c. With the sop the Devil entreth into him; and he goeth in the dark from Betha∣ny to Jerusalem, and bargaineth for the betraying of Jesus.
Wednesday.	XIII.		Christ is still at Bethany, Judas having done his hellish work with the Chief Priests, is returned to Bethany again.
Thursday.	XIV.		The Passover: Christ eateth it this day as well as the Jews, Mark 14. 12. Luke 22. 7. After the Passover he ordaineth the Sacrament, Mark 14. 22. Judas received the Sacrament, Luke 22. 14, 21. Up∣on our Saviours hinting of his treacherousness, a question ariseth among the Disciples about it, and that breedeth another question among them, which of them should be the greatest, Vers. 23, 24.
			That debate Christ appeaseth: telleth Peter again of his denyal: maketh that divine speech contained in the fifteenth, sixteenth, seventeenth Chapters of John; singeth the 113 or the 114 Psalm, goeth into the Mount of Olives, is apprehended: brought to An∣nas the head, or chief Judge in the Sanhedrin, by him bound and sent to Caiaphas, Joh. 18. 13, 14. &c. and there is in examination, and derision all the night.
Friday.	XV.		The forenoon of this day was the preparation of the Passover Bul∣lock, Joh. 19. 14. the afternoon is the preparation of the Sabbath, Luke 23. 54. Mark 15. 42. Early in the morning Christ is brought to Pilate the Roman Deputy, Mark 15. 1.
			At nine a clock he is delivered to the Souldiers and common Rabble, Mark 14. 25. and brought out to the Jews, Joh. 19. 1. to 13.
			At twelve a clock, or high noon he is condemned, and presently nail∣ed to his Cross, Joh. 19. 13, 14. the time of the day that our first Parents eat and fell.
			Now began the darkness, Luke 23. 44. and lasted three hours; the very space that Adam was under the darkness of sin, without the Promise.
			At three a clock in the afternoon Christ yieldeth up the Ghost, Mark 15. 34. the very time when Adam had received the promise of this his passion for his redemption.
			At Even he is buried, Matth. 27. 57.
			This day being the first in the Passover week, was called a Sabbath, Lev. 23. 11. and a very solemn day it should have been, and no work done in it; but observe how far, and how vilely the Jews did violate it, and that law at this time.
Saturday the Jews Sabbath.	XVI.		Christ resteth in the grave this day, being the Sabbath: But the Jews rest not from their villany. For on this day they compact with Pilate to make sure the Sepulchre, Matth. 27. 62. And ob∣serve that Matthew doth not there call it the Sabbath, but the day that followeth the day of the preparation: by the very Periphrasis, deriding their hipocrisie, who would be so observant of the Sab∣bath, as to have a day of preparation for it before it came, and yet to be thus villainous on it when it was come.
			This was the 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, the famous second day in the Passover week, in which the first-fruit sheaf was waved before the Lord, Lev. 23. 11. and from this day they began to count their seven weeks to Pen∣tecost, Deut. 16. 9.
Sunday, the Lords day.	XVII.		1. Christ riseth from the dead, and he becometh the first fruit of those that slept, 1 Cor. 15. 20. He appeareth first to Mary Magda∣len, Joh. 20. 15. then to Peter and Cleopas, or Alpheus, as they go to Emmaus, Luke 24. 13, 18, 34. 1 Cor. 15. 5. and at night to all the Disciples, Luke 24. 33, 36. this is the first of the fifty to Pentecost.
