The harmony of the Old and New Testament and the obscure texts explained with a relation especially to the times that preceded Christ and how they meet in him, his genealogie and other mysteries preparatory to his first coming / written in French by John d'Espagne ... ; and published in English by his executor.

Four men, each of them being the seventh in order within some remarkable Period, and illustrious for Miracles; an excellent Gradation from one to the other.

THe seventh from the Creation, viz. Enoc: in his person the first Mi∣racle that ever was, was wrought, for he was transported without seeing death; nevertheless he himself did never work any miracle at all.

The seventh from Abraham, who mi∣raculously had Isaac, was Moses, the first man that wrought miracles; nevertheless he never raised any from the dead.

The seventh and last who wrought mi∣racles, under the Old Testament, and who even raised some from the dead, was the Prophet Elisha; but he was not raised from the dead himself.

The seventh raised from the dead, is the first who wrought miracles, under the New Testament, the first raised in

Glory, and who alone did raise himself from the dead, is Christ; in him is per∣fection: He is the seventy seventh in the Genealogy, which beginneth in God himself, Luk. 3.

These enumerations are without dis∣pute. As Enoc was the seventh after Adam inclusively, so was Moses the seventh after Abraham, the Genealogies do demonstrate it. As for the others, in all the extent of the Old Testament, there were never but seven men who had the gift of miracles; 1 Moses, 2 Aaron his brother, 3 Joshua, who commanded the Son to stand still; 4 Samuel, who changed the whole face of the aire; 5 the Prophet that was sent to Jeroboam, 1 King. 13.6 Eliah, 7 Elisha. Every one knows, that there hath been three raised from the dead under the Old Testament, and three under the New, before Jesus Christ died and rose again; so that he is the seventh, in the Catalogue of those that have been raised from the dead, but with the afore∣said preheminences.
