of Israell and Iudah sometimes good and sometimes bad somtimes most Godlye as Iosias Ezekias sometimes most wicked as Ioas and Manasses with other to the ende of the booke vnder which kinges all the prophets both Elias and they which were before the captiuitie of Babilon did prophesie many of them were crownd with martiredome as Esay Ieremie Amos Zachary Zacharie and the rest Of the bookes called Paralipomenon PAralipomenon taketh his name of leauing because it handleth that which in the bookes of the Kinges is left out or omitted and is deriued of Para that is like and Leipomai to leaue or omit they may be also called bookes of chronicles because they conteyne histones of things done from yeere to yeere whereupon the Title in hebrue is dibre haiamaim that is wordes of daies for in these two bookes are described particularly the actes deedes of the kinges of Israel but it is vncertaine whether these 2. bookes be that one whereof mention is made in the bookes of the Kinges when it is said are not those thinges written in the booke of the wordes of the dayes of the kings of Iudah These two bookes are thus deuided The former which hath 30. chap. conteyneth the histories of Saul and Dauid besids the numbring of the tribes The latter which hath 36. chap. conteyneth the histories of Saul Salomon and all other kinges of Israel and Iudah The summe of the first booke is this 1 From the beginning to the 12. chap. besides the storie in the 10. of the priestes and Leuites in the 11. of Sauls death are set foorth the rehearsals of the fathers and Patriaches from the beginning of the

but the thirde and fourthe booke of Esdras are not commonly vsed amongest the Hebrues albeit the third be for the most part taken out of the book of the Chronicles The books of Esdras Nehemiah doe by good order of the historye followe the bookes of the kings and Chronicles For as the booke of the kings and Chronicles doe containe the histories of the state of the Israelites before the captiuity in Babylon So these two bookes of Esdras and Nehemias do shew what thinges were done amongest the people of the Iewes after the captiuitie in Babylon For Esdras and Nehemias which are said to haue been scribes to Ieremie do bring back the people from that captiuity in Babylon and restore the Citie of Ierusalem and the Temple I meane both the Common weale and the church whose hearers and incouragers were the prophets Agge Zachary And this reedifying was made because of Christ who shortly after was to come to be borne in Bethlem to preach in this second temple of Ierusalem in the end to suffer

goodnes towards the Gentiles by the captiuity of the Iewes For as Nabuchadnezar Euilmeredech before the deliuerance were conuerted by the meane of Daniell and Darius king of the Medes and Cirus king of the Persians after the deliuerance so the captiuity of the Iewes was profitable vnto the Gentiles From the 4. chap to the 9 is described the building againe of the Temple by the persuasion of Agge

elect offending as here by the captiuity of Babylon another while receiueth them againe to fauour as heere by Esdras and Nehemias The summe of the booke of Nehemias which also is called the second Booke of Esdras 1 First from the beginning of the book to the 8 chap after the faithful prayer of Nehemias the Iewe with the confessing of his sinnes he obtaineth of his heathen Lords Artaxerxes the king whose Butler he was in Persia leaue to returne to his brethren in Iudea so as we may see that deed do follow faithfull prayer comming to Ierusalem hee begins to reedify the City not without troble persecution and many hinderances so that the people were both molested in such sort by their enemies that they were driuē to holde their sworde in one hande and to builde with the other and also they were afflicted with so great famine and s●arsitie that Nehemias in the 5 chapt commanded by an edict that all they which had taken ●surie shoulde restore it wholye vnto the poore Lastlye though hee were not free from the deceipts of wicked men yet hee went forward with the worke vntil he had appointed a continual watch and the gates to be shut in the night season 2 From the 2 chap to the 11 religion is restored the Lawe is repeated the people are instructed and the couenant is renewed for without Religion and the word of God al is filled with errors 3.
