Against curiosity from our weakenes I write the positions folowing to make that cleere which if men would not resist their owne iudgement had neuer ben thought obscure but by vs hath been perniciously encombred Positions opening the Chronicle of Scripture HE that wyll deny the course of tyme to be in Scripture cleerely obserued euen vnto the fulnes the yeere of saluation wherin our Lord dyed may as wel deny the Sunne to haue brightnes The particulers are set downe in my booke chayning the Text. And though many do differ in their Chronicles yet these poyntes being cleered all stryfe ceasseth 1 One that the Greeke translaters added for a close purpose yeeres betwixt Adam and Abraham 1350. which yeeres are all feigned VVhereof I wrote at large in Melchisedek how in trueth the Hebrew must stande with yeres 2083. and hath alwayes in these west partes of the worlde been folowed though the Arabique and Ethiopian helde after the Greeke The seconde is 2 That presently after Terahs death Abraham at 75. yeeres receiued the Promise 430. before the Law 480. more before the Temple and 36. more before Salomons death The thirde is 3 That 390. yeeres Ezek. 4. are from Ieroboams drawyng Israel away vnto the 19. of Nebucadnezar That from his 19. yeere or thirde Captiuitie of Iuda 52. from his taking of Ierusalem are of captiuitie and 70. from his first yeere to Baltasars death The fourth and last is 4 That vpon the seauenty of captiuity the 70. seauens of deliuerie for eternal freedome must begin and must ende when our Lord by death findeth vs an euerlasting redemption These last three I endeuour to cleere Obseruations touching some doubtes stirred concernyng Abrahams age and the Promise with a controlment of 60 yeeres errour and of 5. where some fall into 60. onely some 5. onely some 60 and 5. 1 SAint Stephen saying that God remooued Abraham from Charan after his fathers death may not be excused as though he had spoken necligently as Bucholcherus doth qualifie his wordes but requireth beliefe in the simple sence of his wordes 2 The Greeke Philo the true Philo not the forged telleth truely that after the death of Terah God remooueth Abraham from Charan and that then Abraham was 75. 3 Iewes malicious were the fyrst that feigned Abraham to leaue Terah 60. yeeres in Charan 4 All they do the lyke who make Terah father to Abraham at 70. and not at 130. for adde the 75. of Abraham to the 70. of his father and it maketh but 145. yeeres and there remaine 60. of Terahs 205. 5 It is a fayre consequent that Abraham being 75. yeeres olde at his fathers death was borne at Terahs 130. 6 The playne order of the text at the first woulde haue taught so much For thus the wordes he in order And the dayes of Terah were 205. yeeres and he died in Charan and God sayd vnto Abraham Get thee from thy fathers house and in thee all the nations of the earth shalbe blessed and Abraham was 75. yeeres olde 7 VVhen Moses sayth that Terah lyued 70. yeeres and begat Abraham Nachor and Charan he placeth Abraham first not as though he had been eldest but for other respectes 8 As Moses reckoneth Noahs sonnes not in senioritie thus Iapheth Sem and Cham but beginnyng with the worthiest and so goyng to the next in yeeres to hym and endyng with the eldest so he beginneth with Abraham the worthiest and endeth with the eldest 9 Also for the weakenes of men Moses hideth his minde that the prophane should not soone spie the paradoxe that Nachor at 29. yeeres olde begate Terah and dyed at 148. and Terah begate Abraham at 130. They who knew not how strangenesse for Abraham to be father of the worlde was fittest to styrre studie woulde at the first stumble at the vnequalitie And for the same cause it may well be thought the Greeke interpreters added 100. yeeres to each father that was not 100. yeeres olde at his fatherhood as is declared in the treatise of Melchisedek How the malitious Iewes condemne them selues THe Iewes generally graunting Sem to be Melchisedek and that truely shoulde make hym delyuer the blessing to one that dyed before the blesser which thyng cannot agree with the wisedome of a Prophet yf Abraham were borne at Terahs 70. for he shoulde die not onely before Sem 34. yeeres but also before Selah 3. yeeres It is the Rabbines generall opinion that Ischa the daughter of Charan is Sarai who was but ten yeres younger then Abraham in Zakuto VVherefore Abraham euen by them selues is determined to be younger then Charan in Sanedrin Of Gilbert Genebrard Genebrard enclyneth to make Charan father to Sarai at 8. yeeres though the Iewes reuoke that but his errour sheweth that the Chronicle must stande to make Abraham borne at Terahs 130. yeeres of age Of the Promise that it was not made fiue yeeres afore God speaketh to Abraham In thee all nations shalbe blessed nor afore Abraham left Charan Ch 4. THe doubt herein aryseth from malitious Iewes seekeing the disgrace of S. Paul Gal. 3.17 where he telleth that the Lawe came after the Promise 430. yeeres The doubt is coloured from Gen. 15 13. Thy seede shalbe a stranger in a lande that is not theirs and shall serue them and they shall entreate them euill 400. yeeres Questions hereupon aryse two 1 VVhether the terme beginneth since Abraham left the seede on a strange lande and both markes go to one tyme Or 2 VVhether the affliction be after the fift of Isaak These Iewes begin the tyme from Isaaks birth Sal. Iarchi Aben Ezra Ramban Abrabbaneel Baal Shemoth Rabba Baalsedar Olamzuta Baalseder Olam Rabba Bochai Chizkuny And Rambam in his agreeable Total sum for the worlde in Halacoth Iobal Elias Misrachi is more vehement reasoning that the affliction was but in Egypt and therefore from Isaaks birth wyll needes haue the terme of yeeres and not from the affliction How these Rabbines shoulde disanull S. Paul If 400. yeeres onely be from Isaaks birth to the Law 30. before the birth of Isaak shall fall to Abrahams 70. Now that promise was not tyl Abrahams 75. Therefore the consentyng to the Iewes herein should disanul S. Paul and that goodly promise of Christ A confutation of these Rabbines from them selues 1 Aben Ezra sayth that the wordes in Gen. 12. were spoken 5. yeeres afore Abraham left Charan Abrabbaneel telleth hym that that is a flat lye vpon Gen. 12. And iust cause had he so to do Ralbag is confuted with hym for so much 2 But Abrabbaneel and Iarchi and the seder Olam Rabba and the more ancient the Middras and the other troupes they begin the 430. yeeres from the tyme of Abrahams sacrificing Gen. 15. and feigne that Abraham was twyse called from Charan once fiue yeeres before that which is mentioned But this is nothing els then to bring a leprosie vpon Scripture to feigne a storie 3 Moreouer the blynde may see that the speech had in
