course ten thousand a moneth hée had twentie thousand that bare burdens and fourescore thousand Masons in the mountaines hée had thrée thousand and thrée hundred men that ruled the workmen The holy Ghost maketh mention that it was built in the 480. 1 Kin. 6.1 yeare after the people of Israell came out of Egypt 2 Cro. 4. and in the fourth yeare of King Salomons reigne It contained thrée roomes that were specially dedicated The first roome was called Salomons porch or hall of the Iewes wherein was an Altar of brasse for burnt offering Therein was the fire of God continually maintained There the common people offered burnt offerings morning and euening of such things as were brought There Christ taught there Peter wrought miracles The second part or roome of the Temple was called Holy because none might enter into it but the Priests who were many and they were distinguished into 24. Orders In it was an Altar of Gold whereon was burnt Incense for a swéet sacrifice morning and euening There were the golden Candlestickes and the Lampes burning day and night there were two golden cups with Frankinsence and that fine and costly vaile which at the death of Christ was rent from the top to the bottome The third part or roome was called the Holy of Holiest In it was the inner house or Oracle made with Sethim wood and Cedar couered with gold within and without Into this place none entered but the high priest and that but once a yeare to offer for the sinnes of the people Whereby was figured the propitiation of Christ once for all In the middest thereof was the Arke the two tables of the Law the pot of Manna Aarons rod flourishing the Booke of Deuteronomie Gods oracles and his answeres Neare thereto was an Ile that did pertaine to the Gentiles and to all people cleane vncleane therfore it was called the court of the Gentiles There was the treasurie for the poore there the widow offered her mite There the woman was discharged by Christ which was taken in adultery Par. What difference or oddes I pray you was there betweene the Temple and the Tabernacle Past Indéede if you compare the Tabernacle the Parts Roomes Furniture and Ordinances thereof with the Temple you shall finde little oddes or difference The first part or roome of the Temple and Tabernacle had relation analogie and reference to the people of the old world before the floud and thence to the giuing of the Law The second part of the Temple and Tabernacle had reference analogie and coherence to the Church and Synagogue of the Iewes with all their lawes and Ceremonies prefiguring Christ The which people properly did appertaine vnto God And the shadowing of the Mercie-seate signified their defence The third part or roome of the Temple and Tabernacle had relation and analogie both to the Iewes and Gentiles which were to be saued and to be brought by Election and Grace vnto the marriage of the Lambe Christ Iesus which thing was signified by the throwing downe of the partition wall and by the renting of the vaile Thus the Temple and the Tabernacle being one in substance and thrée in vse may well be compared to the holy and blessed Trinitie Par. Where was the Temple built Past It is plainly recorded 2 Chro. 3.1 that this famous building was on mount Moriah where Adam was created Gen. 2. neare the Garden of Eden where Adam fell where Isaac was offered where Sem or Melchisedech dwelt and ruled with peace and iustice like the sonne of God The which place was first called Salem vpon Isaacs offering Ierisalec and now Ierusalem Par. Declare vnto mee briefly concerning the dedication of the Temple Past King Salomon and all the men of Israell assembled according to their degrées and they brought vp the Arke of the Lord from the house of Abinadab into the Citie of Dauid 1 King 8. which is Zion and they brought the Tabernacle of the congregation and all the holy vessels that were in the Tabernacle those did the Priests and Leuites bring vp Then hée and the people offered vnto the Lord innumerably And a cloud filled the Lords house for the glory of the Lord was there Toward the which King Salomon turning himselfe and lifting vp his hands and eyes vnto heauen desired the Lord to dedicate that place to the honour of his name and that it might be to be comfort of his people that called vpon him in that place And when hée had ended his prayer he stood vp and blessed the people The first Particular concerning the Kings of Israell and Iudah Parishioner I Would gladly know the stories of these Kings and their Prophets in their order Past First 1 Kin. 12. you must vnderstand that immediately after the death of King Salomon the same great and renowmed kingdome of the Hebrewes 1 King 11.11.12.13 was diuided into two parts according as the Lord had fore-spoken But after 490. yeares were expired it was ioyned together againe Ezec. 37.16.17.18.19 20. according as the holy prophet Ezechiel had fore-told Par. Declare vnto me the manner of this diuision or ruine Past Ieroboam 1 King 11.26 to 40. the sonne of Nebat an Ephradite of Zereda Salomons seruant according to the word of the Lord by the mouth of his Prophet Ahijah the Shilonite had ten Tribes of Israell that held and tooke part with him that he should be king who placed his seat and pallace in Samaria and his kingdome was thenceforth called the kingdome of Israell The other part of that famous kingdome Rehoboam the sonne of Salomon possessed which was the lesser part for onely two Tribes held with him His seat was at Ierusalem and his kingdome was called the kingdome of Iudah Thus you may sée two Kings in one kingdome which indéede is prodigious Par. Now declare vnto mee why the whole kingdome was thus deuided and so miserably distressed Past I will answer you with Gods owne words Because they haue forsaken me saith the Lord 1 King 11.33 and worshipped Astaroth the god of the Zidonians and Chemosh the god of the Moabites and Milcom the god of the Ammonites and haue not walked in my wayes to doe right in mine eyes and for the sinnes of Salomon Par. How did the one and the other of these kings behaue themselues towards God Past Ieroboam 1 King 12.26 to 31. the king of Israel thought in his heart and said If this my people goe vp and doe sacrifice in the house of the Lord at Ierusalem then shall the people turne againe vnto the Lord and so cleaue vnto Rehoboam the King of Iudah Whereupon the King tooke counsell and made two calues of gold the one hée set vp at Bethel the other at Dan. Whose priests hée made of the lower sort and basest amongst the people and he commanded all his subiects to goe thither and worship them as their gods The other part of the kingdome that

reuoked his former authority for the building of the Lords house and caused the same to stay vnto the second yeare of Darius Par. Tell mee first I pray you what comfort had they in this extreame misery to wit when the building of the Temple was hindered Past As in the time of their captiuity at Babilon they had two great preaching Prophets to wit Ezechiel and Daniel by whom they were mightily strenghtened in hope of deliuerance so now his holy Maiesty stirred vp vnto them foure other godly and diligent Prophets to chéere them by telling them most assuredly that this their worke should goe forward according to Daniels Prophesie Par. What say you of the booke next adioyning to wit Nehemiah Past In this booke is mentioned thrée speciall men Ezra 2.2 to the end of 7. raised vp by the goodnesse and mercies of almighty God for the comfort of the people Israel after their captiuity The first was Zorobabel their Captaine The second was Ezra their Priest The third Nehemiah the setter forward of their building This booke is thought to be written by Ezra as the former because the Hebrewes haue reckoned both bookes as one Neh. 2. and it compriseth a story of 130. yeares This Nehemiah being butler to Artaxerxes the King of Babilon by the prouidence of God found fauour with the King insomuch as that he obtained leaue to depart with the Kings conuoy to Ierusalem for the reedifying of all the decayed places thereof And after the Temple was built he tooke order for the restoring and continuance of religion Par. Who was Hester that beares the name of this booke Past This woman being one of the daughters of Israel was sometime called Hadasa Ahashuerus otherwise named Artaxerxes successour to Cirus tooke her for his wife as the history makes mention For after the returne of some from captiuity to the building of the Temple many of the Iewes remained still in Babilon as a people malecontent and not willing to goe any more to Ikrusalem And had not almighty God preuented it by his prouidence and mercy they had béene all slame in one day by the decrée of the King which was procured and instigated by Haman for the malice and enuy hée did beare to Mardocheus a man of that nation Par. What say you concerning the other Prophets of whom you haue neither spoken amongst the Kings of Iudah nor yet amongst the Kings of Israel to wit Obadiah Nahum Ionah Abakkuck Past Obadiah or Abdiah prophecied against Idumea Nahum and Ionas prophecied against Niniue Abakkuck prophecied against Babilon Par. Why haue you annexed the Prophets with the Kings Past There is great vse thereof For if you compare the doctrine of euery seuerall Prophet with the religion and manners of the king and the people vnder whom they prophesied the one doth plainely expound the other And this I would haue you to marke That euery Prophet in the beginning of his booke doth specially name vnder what King he prophecied to the intent you should sée and marke how he applyeth his doctrine according to the time Par. You haue in a plaine sort declared all the bookes of the old Testament sauing some few but you haue spoken nothing at all of the bookes of the New Testament What is there no vse to be made of them Past There is as great vse to be made of those bookes which are omitted as of those bookes which are already handled Therefore I will here set them downe in seauen degrées whereby you may benefit your selfe by both The first Degree Genesis Exodus Leuiticus Numbers Mathew Marke Luke Iohn The second Degree Deuteronomy Acts The third Degree Iosua Iudges Ruth 1 Samuel 2 Samuel 1 Kings 2 Kings 1 Chronicles 2 Chronicles Esay Ieremy Hosea Ioell Amos.

The seauenth Degree Daniels sixe last chapters Reuelation Par. Why haue you thus disposed and sorted the bookes of the Bible declare your reasons seuerally Reason for the first Pastor GEnesis Exodus Leuiticus and Numbers doe specially containe the Lawes Sacrifices and Sacraments concerning Christ Mathew Marke Luke and Iohn doe comprehend principally an answere thereunto or as it were a plaine demonstration of the performance of all former promises concerning him So that indéede whatsoeuer was shadowed figured or foretold of Christs diuinitie of his humanitie and sufferings together with the benefits thereof to the faithfull these Euangelists doe in their bookes declare Reason for the second Moses in Deuteronomie amongst other things repeates summarily all that was famously done and spoken from the going out of Egypt vntill that time in which he wrote this Booke So Luke in the Acts of the Apostles records the whole story of the Church concerning things done from the death of Christ to the time wherein he wrote Reason for the third As in the fiue Bookes of Moses were particularly handled the Religion and manners of the people of Israell from the promise made to Abraham vntill they came to Canaan so in the first eight Bookes mentioned in the third Degrée are recited particularly their rulers and gouernors from their entrance into Canaan vntill they were carryed away captiue into Babilon Whereunto I haue annexed seauen Prophets who liued in those times and taught vnder those Kings as may appeare in the beginning of euery first Chapter of the same Prophets Which Bookes of the Prophets and of the Kings being laid and compared together the one will expound the other Par. Why doe you set forth this woman Ruth amongst the Kings and Rulers of the people Past Samuel the Prophet is said to be the writer of her story and the Hebrewes doe reckon this her Booke and the Booke of Iudges as one And againe this story in this place answereth to the time in which the principall matter recited therein was performed Par. And why doe you place these foure Prophets so odly by themselues and last of all to wit Obadiah Ionah Nahum Abakkuk Past These Prophets which are seuered from the rest had nothing to doe in the Kingdome of Israel nor in the Kingdome of Iudah For Ionah and Nahum prophesied against the Niniuites Obadiah Idumeans Abakkuk Babilonians Par. I doe not vnderstand why you sort out two of the great Prophets and place them so odly by themselues in your fourth Degree Reason for the fourth Past These two Prophets to wit Daniel and Ezekiel are fitly placed together both in respect of the former stories and of their allotted time of prophesie For as the former Prophets did preach before the time of the Captiuitie so these according to the riches of Gods grace not

of their enemies and they shall be robbed and spoyled Manasses was twelue yeares old when hée began to raigne and hée raigned fiue and fifty yeares in Ierusalem Par. Who was the next king Past 2 King 21.18.19.20 to the end 22.23 Ammon his sonne such a father such a sonne The Lord stirred vp his seruants against him who slew him in his own house He was twenty years old when he began to raigne and he raigned two yeares Par. Who was his successour Past Iosiah his sonne He did vprightly in the sight of the Lord as did his father Dauid he turned not to the right hand nor to the left And he tooke seuere order for the reformation of religion Wherefore the Lord reuealed vnto him the booke of the Law which was hid in the Temple And when he heard it read for griefe that Religion had so long béene extinguished and the name of God abused he rent his cloathes and wept sore Then he commanded his officers to inquire after the Lord by some Prophet And they found a Prophetesse in Ierusalem who answered them that the Lord would plague Iudah and Ierusalem for their idolatry but would spare Iosiah the King Then he with all the Elders of the people went into the Temple where he read the booke of God with a tender heart vnto them And afterwards he entred into couenant with the Lord for the people that they should serue him all the dayes of their liues and the people yéelded vnto it with one consent Then did the king purge the Temple and all his kingdome of Baall and of all that did appertaine vnto his seruice He brake downe also the Altar at Bethell and all the monuments of idolatry which Ieroboam had made He held a Passeouer the like was not holden since the daies of the Iudges nor the like in any Kings dayes Yet would not the Lords wrath be appeased towards the people because they had so long wallowed as it were in wickednesse Pharao Necho king of Egypt slew Iosiah at Megiddo He was eight yeares old when he entred into the kingdome and he raigned one and thirty yeares He was buried at Ierusalem in the sepulcher of his fathers Ieremie and Zophonie were Prophets in his time Par. Who was the sixteenth king Past Iehoahaz his sonne 2 King 23.31.32.33 He did euill in the sight of the Lord. Wherefore he sent Pharao the king of Egypt against him who imprisoned him thrée moneths which was all the time of his raigne And he did put the land to an excéeding great tribute Par. Who was the next king Past Eliakim 2 King 23.34.24.1 to 7. the second sonne of Iosiah who was made king by Pharao Necho the king of Egypt and he turned his name to Iehoiakim the rather because he was a wicked man Then came Nabuchadnezar King of Babell and tooke him but afterwards he rebelled against the King Wherefore he sent an hoste of the Chaldeans and of the Aramites Moabites and Ammonites against Ierusalem and Iudah to destroy it as the Lord had spoken by his Prophets Ichoiakim was fiue twenty yeares old when he began to raigne and he raigned 11. yeares in Ierusalem and then dyed Ieremy and Zophony were Prophets in his time Par. Who was successour to Ichoiakim Past 2 King 24.8 Ichoiakim his sonne He was eightéene yeares old when hée began to raigne and hée raigned thrée moneths wickedly The second Particular of the fift Obseruation concerning the captiuitie of Iudah and Ierusalem Then came Nabuchadnezar the King of Babell against Ierusalem and besieged it And hauing wonne the Citie with great losse of bloud he tooke the King his Mother and the Nobilitie with tenne thousand such as hée liked and carryed them to Babilon with all the treasures of the Lords house And Nabuchadnezar made Mattaniah his Vncle King in his stead whose name hée changed to Zedechiah 2 Kings 24 17.25 who then was one and twentie yeares olde and hée raigned eleauen yeares in Ierusalem wickedly insomuch that the Lord was fiercely bent against Iudah and Ierusalem to destroy them vtterly Hée therefore stirred vp Nabuchadnezar againe with all his hoast to ransacke and vtterly to destroy Ierusalem the house of Dauid and the Temple Thus you may sée Ierusalem was destroyed thrée times Ieremie and Zophonie were Prophets in his time of whom he might haue heart and knowne the will waies of the Lord. Par. Now I pray you set mee downe in like manner the particular stories of the Kings of Israel whose place and seate was at Samaria with the Prophets one or more as they liued Past 1 King 11.26 to 49. 2 King 12.12.13.14 to 21. Ieroboam was the sonne of Nebat an Ephradite of Zereda Salomons Seruant He was a strong man and valiant The Prophet Ahijah fore-tolde him by a signe that the Kingdome of Israel should be diuided into two parts and that he should be king of the one part Salomon hearing thereof sought to kill him which made him to flye into Egypt But when Salomon was dead it fell out so indéede as you may read for hée had ten Tribes that held with him where as Rehoboam the lawfull heyre and the Kings sonne had but two Tribes Which fauour at Gods hands might haue made him humble and zealous after religion but hée imagined that if the people did serue the Lord as they vsed at Ierusalem they would turne and rebell Therefore hée made them Idols at Bethel and Dan and ordained them priests of the inferiour sort of people and commanded the people to worship those Idols for their God Herein he thought to haue done wisely but the Prophet reprehended him in the open congregation and the Lord strucke that hand of his wherewith he would haue stricken the Prophet with such numnesse or drinesse as he was not able to helpe himselfe And the Altar claue a sunder at that time as the man of God desired Then the King was fayne to make intercession vnto the Prophet that God would restore him his hand And at another time the Prophet Ahijah tolde him as from the Lord that for the wickednesse hée had done to prouoke his Maiestie withall there should not be left of him nor of his generation so much as one Dogges should eate his stocke in the Citie and the Fowles of the ayre in the field Hée raigned two and twenty yeares and then dyed Ahijah was a Prophet in his dayes Par. Who was the second King of Samaria Past 1 King 14 20.15.25 to 29. Nadab his sonne He raigned two yeares and did that which was wicked as did his father Ieroboam And Baasha the sonne of Ahijah of the house of Isachar conspired against him and slew him at Gibbethon which did belong to the Philistines Ahijah and Iehu were Prophets in his time Par. Who was the third King of Samaria Past Baasha the sonne of Ahijah of Isachar 1 King 15 16. to the end 16.1 to 7. who warred against
