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.

Vers. 1. Peter and Iohn went up together into the Temple.

IT may be this was likewise on Pentecost day; and 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 doth signifie identity of time: as it doth, 2 Sam. 21. 9. and in the Chaldee of Jonathan on Deut. 25. 5. And the ninth hour mentioned here in reference to the third hour in preceding story, Chap. 2. 15. at nine a clock in the morning was that conversion of 3000, and at three a clock in the afternoon this of 5000. Howsoever, whether it were on that day, or no; certainly it was on some solemn day, either a Sabbath or Festival, as appeareth by the number that were then prese•••• in the Temple, when so many of them were converted. For ordinari∣ly on the common days of the week, the company that was in the Temple was very few, besides the Priests and the Stationary men (〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 as they are called by the Rabbins) which were a number of men chosen to be constantly there, to represent the whole Con∣gregation, in laying their hands on the heads of the Sacrifices in their behalf. This con∣course of people on such a solemn day, was a fit subject and opportunity for these Apostles to work upon; and that in all probability was the main induction that brought them into the Temple at this time. That they should go thither to institute the Canoni∣cal hours by their own example, as Baronius dreameth, is a fancy that far better deserveth laughter, than any answer.
