had him in such veneration untill Epiphanius his time that they prayed in that place and with the dust which they took out of the Sepulchre they both healed the bitings of Asps and drove the Crocodiles out of the River Oswaldus hath recorded that he was at Tahpanhes the first day of May. The Life of the Prophet Baruch CHAP. XXVI BAruch the Prophet was the son of Neriah He was servant and assistant to Hieremiah the Prophet in taking the Book from him at Gods Command wherein God denounced the evils that should come upon them that went not out of the City Hierusalem to Nebuchadnezzar King of Babylon and the good things that should befall them that went and in reading in the Temple on the Fast day to all the people that were come to Hierusalem our of the Cities of Iudah There is extant a Book which is not the very same he wrote then as may be conceived by the time and place For the former book was taken in the fourth yeare of Ichoiakim King of Iudah and in the fifth yeare in the ninth month when a Fast was appointed at Hierusalem it was read in the Temple and when it was cut in pieces by King Ichoiakim and thrown into the fire it was copied out againe by this same Baruch in the same words and more at Gods Command whilest the same Hieremias dictated or certainly it was delivered him by Hieremiah But this that is extant is said to be written by this Baruch and to be there read by him to Ieconias the son of Ioackim King of Iudah and to all the people that were carried Captive into Babylon so that this was writ later Concerning that former we have spoken sufficiently in the Life of the Prophet Hieremiah And when this was read they all wept fasted and prayed unto God But when the other was read they sent money that they gathered as every mans Estate would beare to Hierusalem to them that were there to buy sacrifices entreating them that they would both offer for the sins of all the people and beseech God that he would grant a prosperous life to Nebuchadnezzer and his son Balshazar and afford them favour in the sight of Nebuchadnezzer and his son that they might live and make their prayers before God against whom they had offended and whose wrath was not yet pacified They exhorted them also that they would take order that the book which they had sent should be rehearsed upon holy daies in the Temple The rest of his words is spent in detestation of the sins and wickednesse which they had committed reckoning up the evils with which they were rightly pressed There is also in the latter end of Hieremias book a Letter wherein as a Prophet of God he doth foretell the Captives of Hierusalem that they should be brought to Babylon by Nebuchadaezzar the King of Babylon and exhorts them that when they be there they should not worship the gods which they should see but the true God Now Baruch was of such familiarity and acquaintance with Hieremiah that when the City of Hierusalem was taken and the people lead away to Babylon with Zedechias and the great men He tarried with those which out of severall Countries returned to Iudah and dwelt there at the command of Nebuchadnezzer the King Gedaliah being Governour and after Gedaliah was slaine and the remnant had intreated Hieremiah to enquire of God whether they should go into Egypt or no and he had told them by Gods command that they ought not to go They said God did not forbid this but that Baruch was one who moved him against them and because they did not obey Gods Command the Commanders brought Hieremias and Baruch by force into Egypt with the rest and there as I suppose he died and was buried The Life of the Prophet Ezekiel CHAP. XXVII Section 1. Ezekiel a Prophet and a Priest was the son of Buzi He prophecyed at the same time that Hieremiah but with this difference that Hieremias began to prophesie in the thirteenth yeare of Iosiah King of Iudah but he in the fifth yeare after Iechoniah was led away to Babylon and Hieremias continued prophecying till the eleventh yeare of Zedechiah wherein he was taken and little more than so But Ezekiel unto the fourteenth yeare after the City was spoyled which he calls the five and twentieth after he himselfe was led away which that it may more easily be understood and the Life of Ezekiel better known I have a mind to fetch the order of times and things a little more from the bottome Sect. 2. Ichoiakim after his Father Iosiah was slain who raigned thirty one yeares 2 Chro. 36. and after Ichoahaz his brother who raigned only three months was led into Egypt was made King of Iudah in his brothers stead by Nechokin King of Egypt Iehoiakim dying in the eleventh yeare of his raigne left Ichoiakim who is also called Iechoniah the heire to his Kingdome This Ichoiakim in the third month of his raign when the City was vanquished and the Temple spoiled was taken and led away to Babylon with his mother wives and Eunuchs and a great many more and amongst these Ezekiel now began to prophesie in Babylon as himselfe saith in the fifth yeare after Ichoiakim was taken that is in the fifth yeare of Zedechias who was placed in his stead by Nebuchadnezzer the King And Zedechiah was taken in the eleventh yeare of his raigne and cast into bonds To these eleven yeares of Zedechiah wherein Ezekiel was now Captive if we adde the other fourteene after Hierusalem and Zedechiah were taken we shall find five and twenty yeares and that five and twentieth is the yeare of his Captivity unto which he continues all his Prophesies And therefore Ezekiel did not prophesie in Iudah but in Babylon and foretold first that other Captivity which befell when Zedechiah as I have said was King of all the people because of their wickednesse both old and new all which God shewed unto him though done by them not in Babylon he spake of their deliverance also He began to prophesie in the sixth yeare after Iehoniah was taken and carried to Babylon and that in the fourth month and the fifth day A yeare after that is to say in the sixth yeare on the fifth day of the sixth month God appeared to him and bad him fasten his eyes upon the way which looketh towards the North which when he had done he behold an Image The Image of Jealousie at the gate of the Altar in the very entrance of the Temple of Hierusalem which the Inhabitants worshipped that by this their villany they might even drive God away from them This was a great wickednesse but he shewed them another greater than this He brought him into the Court of the Temple and bid him dig through the wall when he had done this there appeared a doore by which when upon Gods commandement he had gone in he saw upon the wall the pictures of
