name of three Tribes Dan Nepthaly and Gad. And the fourth row was Chrysolite Beryll and Iaspes There was written vpon them the name of three Tribes Aser Ioseph and Beniamin Thus sayth an old auctour not vnknowen to the Eloquent Cyril nor despised of him Of Thargum Cant. Chap. 5. AN other Chaldy paraphrast vpon the Song of Songs though hee agreeth in no Chaldy name to the vndoubted Ebrew stones order yet hee applyeth the Patriarks to them iust as the former did seeing how so the Tribes armes told them what part of the land each one should haue and dignitie according Whose record keepeth vs from fastening folly vpoÌ„ Ezekiel by our blindnes and from moving the simple to despise the revelation Of Midras Rabba MIdras Rabba is a most curious work for the depth of the Ebrew tongue bringing witty fables to teach memory of sentences This Midras vpon Exod. 28. telleth of the Patriarks engrauement in the twelue stones iust as Thargum Ierusalemy doeth and is an auctour of high esteeme and drawing the consent of many So this auctour here may fight for Dan with his Leshem to keepe all stories togeather by right settling of one Patriark to his stone Of Maymonides in the holy Iewels R. Moses Ben Maimon often cited he most curiously handleth the same in two workes one not yet printed written vpon the mysteries of the twelue Iewels and to the former order An other printed and famous in tract of the holy implementes Him also R. Moses M. kozi citeth though he would haue bred a confusion to Moses Ezekiel and all the Bible he citeth him as mistrusting his owne iudgement Of R. Eleazar Wormatiensis MAymonides in Spain Egypt Arabia was knowen â—423 yeres agoe as was mentioned and Eleazar a Rabbin at Wormes about the same time He hath writteÌ„ vpon the Law and on Exod. 28. folowing the former order For Lâ—shem and Dan he handleth Gods providence Dans dulnes very sharply even to the letters LE SEM follow God and turned into Semel Idol Of Salomoh Iarchi SAlomoh Iarchi is elder then both them Hee liued in the time of the holy warre As Barbinel recordeth vpon Obadias Vpon Iud. 18. thus he writeth Laisha was the name of the city And in the book of Iosuah they called the name of it Leshem Because they found there a precious stone called Leshem it was set in the brest care of iudgement for the Tribe of Dan he knew that in trueth that should be their inheritance Thus writeth this old Rabbin whom Elias Mizraki and Chizkuni follow and vrge vpon others that would confound the Iewell of all holy story Of R. Isaak Karo ONE Rabbi Karo keepeth the same order and writeth brauely in applying the stones notation or nature to the story Specially in Achlemah I WILL KEEPF SAF how needfull it was for Gad to haue that precious promesse Of R. Bechaiah ONE R. Bechaiah writeth very many good things This one that all euer glorious in the Fathers came by Faith And convicteth Abraham of want of Faith that obiected Sara to daunger and of other great imperfections But that this Rabbi saith in his hart Who can goe vp to Heaven to bring Christ downe or who can goe to the deepe to bring Christ from the deepe of the earth as Ps 71. speaketh but that the incarnation and resurrection was incredible to him hee had soone learned our doctrine This Rabbin foloweth the Thalmud Thargumes two Maimony Eleazar Iarchi vpoÌ„ Iud. 18. and the true light of Scripture to be a frontyer against those late men that to vndermine the New Testament would not stick to coÌ„found all their glory Of the contrary with confutation THE Iewes of late haue put foorth vpon Moses a short paraphrast a forged work bearing the name of Ionathan the old most learned paraphrast who wrote vpon the Prophetes Of whom the Iewes saye that he wrote not vpon the Law He was no lesse ancient then the holy Apostles Yet the forged Ionathan mentioneth Constantinopole vpon Num. 24. This forged work breaketh the stones order and some of the malicious and willing to disgrace our Testament follow him The true Ionathan bare sway so great that no Thargum nor Thalmudist durst check him and whereas he translateth nyne stones Ezek. 28. onkelos vpon Exod. 28. followeth him in every one of them Against this Elymas I cited this troupe that troupes should trouble them and they be troubled vnto their end Of the Onyx ill set for Beryll in Exod. 28. by the Bishops Bible THE Lxx. naming Iosephs stone Beryll being allowed of the holy Ghost Apoc. 21. should not haue bene refused Yet our translation hath Onyx Though the enemies to the New Testament haue the Greek plain or by transposing of one letter The Chaldy of Iob. ch 28. hath Berylin Ionathan Ezek. 28 Byrela onkelos in Gen. 2. and Exod. 28. Byrela And Aben Ezra citeth the Syriaque comon auctority for Byrela And by transposition the Arabique hath Belyr in Sadaias in the Persian Arabique vpon both places and in an old Ebrew Arabique dictionary that I haue brough for me from Arabia Also a most learned commentary of Sal. S. of Melec Sat. recordeth Belyr to be the Arabique Thus the enemies favour S. Iohn But we haue not marked how the New Testament is the best auctour for the Ebrew tongue and haue refused to follow God and obscured the Symphonie of Moses Ezekiel Iohn and made all three to speak as sounding brasse no distinction of matter The learned translaters will amend this Why the Lxx. set Smaragd for Shobam Exod. 28.10 where Beryll is in v. 20. AS the Greek Philo doeth apply Aharons attyre to deep significations so did the former and the later Now Ioseph stood in glory 600. yeres in Egypt his house bare sway and Iesus or Iosuah was King after King Moses dyed and conquered the land and Ephraim and Manasse of one Patriark made two Tribes And 350. yeres the Ark was in Syloh Besides Debora Gedeon Abimelec Iephthe Abdon defended the People and halfe Manasses ioyned with Ruben and Gad and found glory in Sauls time over Hagarenes Thus Iosephs Beryll might well beare all names on Aharons shoulders as he like Atlas bare all the peise on his shoulders For this Israel saw a plain reason why the ShohaÌ„ of Ioseph still should beare sway And Ephraims kingdoms fall told that Iudah should fall and Heathen come in their rowme as HeatheÌ„ only in Iobs time stack to God But HeatheÌ„ could not see a reason of this For their weaknesse the Lxx giue Levies shoulders his own stone Chrysostome in Photius thought Moyses truth did so whence Patriarches Popes will be Shoham which stone is the Kings Of an open betraying of our Lord and redeemer and befooling the rock of salvation THE Pascha was to be kild not in private townes wheÌ„ altars were free as in Samuels time but where God settled his name as in Ierusalems Temple And there the Lambe could

And this is a rule of foundation That Israel shall haue no king but of the house of Dauid and of the seede of Solomon only And who soeuer will be a schismatique against this familie he denyeth the name of the blessed God and the wordes of his Prophetes Of our yeelding vnto this wicked article against the scope of the Old and New Testament DAniel as I shewed was taught by the Angel Gabriel the very exact and straight day for the kingdome of Christ and to disgrace that prophecy M. Liuely wrote a great book full of dotage from the beginning to the end yet highly cōmended by our Arch. auctoritie in the Libel written against the Scottish mist and Brettish nation Also the last fourtene which are in S.

The Kings of the most hige God which should possesse a kingdome for euer And for vrging those to bad religion and vexing of them the four Beastes were cast into fier And these had not so bene vsed if Christ his kingdome had bene of this world And Balaam spake of Messias that should vnwall all the sonnes of Seth. Which terme Iekarker in Ebrew to pull downe the walles S. Paul expoundeth 2 Cor. 10. The weapons of our warfarr are not carnall but mighty in God to the pulling downe of stronge holdes pulling down thoughts and euery high fort that exalteh it selfe against the knowledge of God and captiuing euery thought into the obedience of Christ Thus graciously Saint Paul expoundeth Balaams terme of pulling downe the wall But while wee deny Salomons house to end in Iechonias and make Salomon the youngest of Bethsebaes sonnes and Nathan his elder and Patriarch and inferiour to his younger and againe giue yeares of gouernement to Rhesa without all story and bring the Kingdomes right to marie and talke of Iewes mariage in their tribe for profe of kindred by this pretensed help of reconciliation we haue disturbed all the Bible and become a skorne to all the Iewes But one word of your Maiesties gracious mouth will banish that Table for euer Now that the simple may perceaue S. Matthew and S. Luke their purpose shal be told briefly S. Matthew would teach Herodians Pilateans concerning Christ the king of the Jewes that earthly emperours should feare no lesse from him for that his kingdome was not of this world That may be kowen by considering his owne ancestours from him to whom Chanaan was promised after the kings which were not of his line againe his ancestours two and their house From Abraham to Dauid all the fathers were godly and Thamar Rachab Ruth and Bathsuagh examples of faith for all David in rest had nere ouerthrowen his house But Solomon with his house soone brede ruine fewel for Ieremies lamentations and funerall verses for the buriall of Salomons race in Iechonias Then cometh in Nathans house in Zorobabel and Salathiel fathers two to our Lord after the flesh but turneth in Abiud c. out of our Lord his line yet all were godly and poore and the saincts of the high Trinity Dan. 7. For whom God overthrew the iron legged Macedonians and the former partes belly brest and head of the image And so telleth how in pouerty standeth the kingdome of heauen and Kings need not to feare losse by Christ. K. of Chanaan receaving thence no peny but vexed at his comming into the world Now S. Luke going to shew his victory over Sathan bringeth him by Mary and Ely to Adam taught in his first day who should destroy Sathans workes This meaned the Evangelist whom the former Table reiected A right and plain Table shall follow The right reconciliation of Saint Matthew and Saint Luke DAVID Salomon the eldest sonne of Bathsheba Roboam Abia.
