Itinerarium totius Sacræ Scripturæ. Or, the trauels of the holy patriarchs, prophets, iudges, kings, our sauiour Christ, and his Apostles, as they are related in the Old and New Testaments. With a description of the townes and places to which they trauelled, and how many English miles they stood from Ierusalem. Also a short treatise of the weights, monies, and measures mentioned in the Scriptures, reduced to our English valuations, quantitie, and weight.

The Trauels of Azariah, or Vzziah King of Iudah.

THis man succeeded his father Amasia (in the yeare of the world 3138, and before Christ, 830) when hee was but 16 yeares of age, and raigned 52 yeares: his mothers name was Iecoliah of Ierusalem. He did those things that were vpright in the sight of the Lord, therefore the Lord blessed him. And after the death of his father, built Elah, and restored it to Iudah.

He therefore went from Ierusalem to Elah, 160 miles towards the South, and rebuilt that towne (it being a famous Mart towne, scituated vpon the red sea) and fortified it, because Resin King of the Syrians in times past for want of due fortification woon it, and destroied it, 2 Chron 26.

From Elah he returned to Ierusalem, 160 miles.

After hee went from Ierusalem to Gath a citie of the Phili∣stines, which was accounted 34 miles: this towne he woon, beat downe the wals, and destroied the Bulwarkes thereof.

From thence he went to Iabnia, which is 24 miles, and broke downe the wals thereof, 2 Chron. 26.

From thence he went to Azotus or Asdod, which was 8 miles, 2 Chron. 26.

From Asdod he went againe to Ierusalem, being 22 miles.

Within a while after, he gathered an armie, and went from Ie∣rusalem to Gur-Baal, that is, Gerar; where he ouercame the Ara∣bians in a great battell, which was 32 miles, 2 Chron. 26.

From Gerar he returned to Ierusalem, being 32 miles.

He went from Ierusalem the third time into the land of the A∣monites, 60 miles; which people he conquered, and made tribu∣tarie to him: so that he was made famous through all the coun∣tries thereabout, euen to the vtmost part of Egypt, because of his often victories and triumphs, 2 Chron. 26.

Out of the land of the Ammonites he returned to Ierusalem, which was 60 miles. But now being lift vp with the prosperitie of fortune, and not content with his regall dignitie, he endeauou∣red to haue chiefe authority ouer the Priests also: for which cause he went into that part of the temple where the Altar of sweet in∣cense stood (where it was lawfull for none to goe but the Priests) and there tooke vpon him to offer sweet incense; but as he was offering the Lord strucke him with Leprosie, so that he was con∣strained to dwell in a house by himselfe, separated from the con∣gregation: And his sonne Iotham gouerned in his stead all the dayes of his life. But within a while after he died of this disease, and was buried in the Kings garden at Ierusalem, and not in the sepulchre of the Kings, 2 Reg. 15. 2 Chron. 26. So all the trauels of Azariah King of Iuda, were 592 miles.
