In these days lived Judith of Bethulia a very famous Woman this was she who cut off the head of Holifernes This Holifernes was a great Commander General under Nabochodonozor And that Nebochodonozor reigned at Babylon during the time of King Darius at Susha● in Persia and rebelled against the King of Persia. And during this rebellion having vanquished one Arphaxad a Deputy Prince of Media under Darius he waxed proud and sent Holofernes out Westward against Judea and others while himself made head against the Persians But this Holofernes perishing being over witted by Judith Judith ●1 ch 2. c.

In the days of Artaxerxes Ochus there was one Bagoses who was Lievetenant to the King of Persia in these parts who came to Jerusalem and threatned somwhat the reason was because of Jonathan the H. Priest who had ●lain his brother Manasseh for that Manasseh had 〈◊〉 a daughter of Sanballar of Sa●aria and contended with him for the Priesthood Jos. Ant. Neh. 13. 28. But when Alexander gat the Empyre Sanballat got the start of the Jews and having opportunity by the foretop struck in with the Conquerour and incensed him against them But as Alexander lay before Gaza Sanballat dyed before the walls thereof and missed of his will to see his ends upon the Jews accomplished Howbeit Alexander having mastered Gaza came against Jerusalem in great wrath But Jaddus being H. Priest at that time came out of the City in his Priestly robes to meet him whom Alexander no sooner saw but his wrath turned all to reverence For having afore dreamt of just such a person as soon as he saw him he remembred his dream and doing him great honour left also noble marks of his curtesie behind him at Jerusalem Jos. Ant. But Alexand●r being dead Ptolomeus Lagus Lord of Aegypt was not so civil For he coming upon the City upon the Sabbath day while they made no defence took his advantage of their superstition and surprized the City and made the Citizens his captives and carryed away many prisoners of them into Aegypt Jos. Ant. Yet the next year Antigonus got away this City from Ptolomy again And now was a very bad time with the Jews for Palestine lying 〈◊〉 the mid way between Syria and Aegypt it was an apt prey unto whom soever was Conquerour And thus somtimes the Egyptians were their Lords and otherwhiles the Syria●s but both ways the Jews were slaves Jos. Ant. Dan. 5. 6. c. Until in the end Ptolomeus having utterly routed Antigonus enjoyed whole Palestine in peace After him Ptol.

great number of Citties in this Land is almost incredible yet that you may the better conceive of it we have thought fit to add a Catalogue of the Kingly Citties which Joshua by lot devided to the children of Israel as follows To the Tribe of Ruben Hesh●●n Madian P●tra To Manasse G●●al F●a-D●r Ta●●a●● M●g●●●● Israel Th●●z● Ashtaroth Domas●●● Ed●●● Gesur Maachath Zoba Them●●● Madon To Gad Rabbah To Benjamin ●●thel A● Gibe●● Jer●sa●●● Jericho To Simeon Debir Gerar.

Bes●k Hebron Adullam Tappua To Ephraim G●●ur Tappuah L●ssaron Samaria in all 52 Kingly Citties This Description of the Land of Canaan may be thought unproper in this place since we pretend to shew you the children of Israels forty years wandering through the Wilderness But because you may know what Land it was God had ordained for them after their Trials and Travels and because we intend in our Discourse upon the Mapp of Canaan to treat mostly upon the Actions and Passages of our Saviour Jesus Christ in this Land therefore we thought fit to insert this Discourse here and to omit it in the next Mapp Wherefore Having thus given you an account of the Land of Promise we come next to shew the Perigrination of the children of Israel towards it through the Wildernesses of Paran Zin Kadesh c. where for your information take notice that the double prickt line in the Map shews the passage they made and where you find six little round thus besides the prickt line it shews where they pitched their Tents Each Station is marked with numerical figures to which the numerical figures in the Mapp and Book bear particular referrences But to the purpose God having purposed that the posterity of Abraham should remain as strangers in a strange Land 430 years And this time being expired he took notice of their miserable bondage and how they were supprest and tasked of the Egyptians he heard the sighs and complaints of his People and therefore sent his servants Moses and Aaron to lead them out of Egypt into the Promised land And because King Pharaoh opposed them therefore God sent all sorts of plagues upon Egypt so that at last Pharaoh and his people were not only willing to let them go but even in a manner drove them out of the land The children of Israel therefore gathered themselves together from all parts of the land to Rameses and ate the Paschal Lamb on the 14. day of the moneth Ibib. Exod. 13. 4. which with us is part of the moneth of March and by them accounted the first moneth of the Year 2583. years after the Creation of the World The next day to wit the 15 day of the first moneth they journeyed from thence to Succoth at fig. 1. in the Mapp and from thence to Etham at fig. 2. on the edge of the Wilderness and there encamped themselves From thence they turned to Pi-hahiroth at fig. 3. between Migdal and the Sea where they were overtaken by the Egytians But God set his Angel behind the camp to guard it And having provided a Pillar of Cloud and a Pillar of Light the one to guide them in the Day and the other to light them in the Night placed the Pillar of loud behind the Israelites and it became a Light to them but Darkness to the Egyptians so as they could not come at them Israel being thus beset on each side with high mountains behind with an Enemy and before with the Red Sea cryed unto the Lord who by the hands of his servant Moses caused the Waters to part and they went over on dry Ground But when the Egyptians persued them the Waters returned again and covered them and their Chariots so that they were all drowned in the Sea and not one of them escaped Hereat the People rejoyce and Moses and Miriam sing praises to the Lord for their deliverance But journeying farther come to the bitter Waters of Marah at fig. 4. where they encamped and murmurred against Moses who by the Lords direction threw a Tree into the Waters and they became sweet Exod. 15. 25. From hence they journeyed to Elim at fig. 5. and encamped there where they found twelve Fountains of Water and seventy Palm Trees From thence they came to the coasts of the Red Sea at fig. 6. And from thence to the Wilderness of Sin at fig. 7. and encamped there on the 15 day of the second Moneth after they came out of the Land of Egypt Here they again murmurred against Moses for want of Flesh calling for the Flesh pots and Bread of Egypt Wherefore the Lord pittying them sent them their dayly bread from Heaven which they called Mannah and caused a great number of Qua●●s to come out of the Sea to seed them with Then they journeyed from Sin and set up their Tents in Dep●k●● at fig. 8. From thence to Alush at fig. 9. Thence Rep●●dim at fig. 10 where there was no Water to drink wherefore the People again murmur at Moses and tempred the Lord and therefore the name of the place was called Massah and 〈◊〉 Exod. 17. 7. Nevertheless the Lord commanded Moses to smite the Rock and there came forth Water for the People to drink Here also Amalek came forth against Israel and Moses and Aaren and Hur went up to the top of the Hill where Moses lined up his hand 〈◊〉 Prayer to the Lord and Israel prevailed but when his hands grew heavy so that he could not hold them up Amalek prevailed against Israel therefore Aaron and ●ur got a stone for Moses to sit on and held up his hands steddy till Amlek was quite discomfited Afterwards came Jethro the Father in law of Moses and Priest of Midian whom Moses received with reverence and love And Jethra brought with him his daughter Zioporah Moses wife and her two sons Gerskon and Eliezer Jethro seeing the great paine and trouble Moses had in judging the People concels him to seek out Wise Couragious and Jastmen fearing God and set them as Rulers over thousands over hundreds and over tens and what causes were too great for them they should bring before Moses This pleased Moses well and he did so And his Father in law departed into his own Countrey The same day the Israelites departed out of Riphidim and encamped in the Wilderness of Sinai at fig. 11. against the Mountains which are also in part called Horeb Here God came down upon Mount Sinai in the sight of all the People and gave them his Law first by word of mouth and afterwards to Moses in two Tables written on Stone by God himself after he had been forty dayes in the Mount with God Exod. 32. 16. and Deut. 9. 9 10 11. But Moses coming down and seeing the Idolatry of the People towards the Golden Calf waxed

was a certain Benjamite a person of good quality who inhabited here and from whom descended that Heroick Father of the Gospel called Saul or Paul Act. 22. 3. Phil. 3. 5. for such was the custom of those dayes that most Persons of any note or eminency had more names than one Hence this Holy Father was by his Father called Saul in evidence that he was a Hebrew of the Hebrews and Paulus or Paul in token that he was born a free man of Rome Now as this Son grew up the good old man was not wanting for care sufficient in his education And first the better to grace his priviledge of a Romane Citizen he bred him up a Schollar in the Academy of Tharsus 7 and here was it that he became so expert in the Philosophical Sayings of the Heathen Sages such as were Aratus Epimenides Menander and others Act. 17. 28. Tit. 1. 12. But as he grew in years to understand himself the Wisdom of Man not amounting to enough to make him a Child of God He was therefore sent away from Tharsus unto Jerusalem 1 to be instructed in the Sacred knowledge of the Book of God Here was famous at that time one Gamaliel a Doctor of the Law and Provost of the Schools in Jerusalem at whose feet this Tarsian Jew being set he studyed the Holy Scriptures and greatly profited in Divine learning beyond all his Equals and fellow-Studients Act. 22. 3. Gal. 1. 14. Here was it that whilest he was eager of his way of Learning and Religion he drew into his head and heart the Doctrine of the Pharisees who were in those dayes though the most respected with the Popularity yet the most Hypocritical and Malicious of all the Jewish Sects Phil. 3. 5 6. During these Times the Messiah appeared as was spoken of by the Prophet Daniel Dan. 9. 25 26 27. and one half of a week of years or 3 years and odd he confirmed the Covenant with many of the Jewish Nation until in the midst of the Week he was crucified and slain and Sacrifice and Oblation ceased All this while was Saul at Ierusalem but so intent at Gam●liels feet that this news of the Messias found no respect from his ears Christ was crucified at the great Paschal Feast and at Pentecost came the Holy Ghost upon the Apostles and enabled them to speak all Languages and to work miracles Now it hapned that by vertue of these Languages they spake and the miracles they wrought so many became their Converts that by the Feast of Tabernacles a necessity appeared to ordain Deacons to assist them in their Ministery Of these were appointed first 7 in company whereof were Stephen and Philip and Nicanor and others and after these were made still more and more Deacons and Evangelists such as were Ananias of Damascus 5 Lucius Barnabas and others Act. 6 ch 9. ch 13. But as these were zealous in preaching the Gospel the Jews were as envious in opposing it and of those opposers Saul of Tarsus was none of the meanest The first quarrel that brake out into blood was that of the Synagogue of the Liberrines against Stephen and this seems to have been at the very next Feast after that of the Tabernacles at what time Stephen was ordained and was therefore at latter end of the Feast of Dedication at what time Stephen being apprehended by those Libertines was haled before the Councel and tumultuously condemned and stoned to death This was as it seems by course of Story much about and as Tradition tells us upon the morrow after the Anniversary Festival of our Saviours Nativity or on the 26 of Decemb. Thus dyed this Proto-Martyr and thus was this first Anniversary of the Nativity next following his Assension turned into mourning Act. 7. 54 55. c. But devout men in honour of this noble Martyr would not suffer his body to ly among the bones of malefactors to be devoured of Dogs but exposed themselves to the hazzard of the Jews displeasure by carrying him to buryal with solemne lamentation Act. 8. 2. The Persecuters thus exasperated made great havoke of these sacred Mourners and some 2000 faithfull Christians slew they in this heat together with Nicanor S. Stephens fellow Deacon besides great multitudes of men and women whom they carryed to prison Dor. Syn. of the 70 Disciples Act. 8. 1. 3. ch 22. 4. ch 26. 10. Under the Councel who condemned this S. Stephen was this our Saul it seems a principal Officer who was present at his examination and gave his vote to have him put to death and was especially imployed to see it done and more than this being in a zealous fury in a wrong way was the death of many a good Christian at this time besides what he imprisoned while he rashly imagined he did God good service by it 1. Tim. 1. 13. Act. 26. 9 10. 11. At this time was Saul but a young man and yet not so young but he was trusted it seems with some place of Authority which was not usually bestowed until a man was 30 current and so by consequence at what time our Saviour was 33 compleat this Saul was 30 current and therefore some 4 years younger than Christ. For 4 weeks lasted this persecution very hot until most part of the poor Christians being fled from Ierusalem except the Apostles were scattered abroad here and there as they could get with safety for refuge of their lives and liberties But this was so far from hindrance as it rather proved an advantage to the Gospel by reason of the scattered Evangelists who preaching as they fled scattered the news of the Gospel in all parts as they flew away Philip the Deacon taught the Samaritans 2 Simon went out towards Tyre 43 and Zidon 48 preaching Bar●abas took towards Cyprus Lucius towards Cyrene x and Ananias made many Converts at Damascus 5. Now when the news of these things came to Ierusalem 1 the Jews were madded at it And the furious Saul in his fiery zeal not satisfied in that he had spoiled the growth of Christianity in Ierusalem unless he might chace it out of the World also got Letters from Caiphas the high Priest directed unto the Synagogues in Damascus in order to bind and bring away to Ierusalem all whom he found both men and women who any waies feared not to own the name of Christ. Act. 9. 1 2. But as many times it happens where the more hast is there is the less speed so it was here for on the 25 day of January as Saul was going to Damascus and almost there Lo a wonderfull bright light appeared round about him and cast him upon the ground utterly astonished and a voice was heard speaking unto him as he lay saying Saul Saul Why persecutest thou me Now such was the force of this miracle and the voice withal together with other discourse accompanying that Sauls heat of persecution was quite cooled and trembling as he lay his heart turned within him
