person the Crown was intaled euen by God himselfe neither was there any before him besides or with him that could be his competitor in that right though himselfe was no King but a poore Carpenter nor had hee any after him from his lovnes descended or of his kindred that could debarre Iesus to bee his heire The opinion therefore of one Iraeneus and others is not to be approued who suppose that Ioseph had children of his owne body begot and wil haue Iames and Ioses Iudah and Simon to bee the naturall brethren of Christ either by Father or Mother or both And Heluidius the Heretick with the Ebionites vrgeth that Iesus was not the onely sonne of Mary his Mother because saith hee his brethren and sisters are so particularly named in the Euangelists Others from the words of the Apostle Saint Paul who calleth S. Iames the Lords brother doe take Iames to bee the brother of Iesus indeed and doe iudge him to bee borne vnto Ioseph by a former wife Vnto which conceit Eusebius seemeth to leane and Cestrenfis alleageth but not alloweth for then had Iames the eldest son both by birth-right and parantage beene King of the Iewes and the title vsurped and impropper to Iesus who was but the Legall sonne of Ioseph by whom the claime came For the right resting in Abiud the eldest of Zorobabels sonnes must likewise descend to Iosephs eldest sonne otherwise the Law debarreth the claime and Christ was to accomplish euery iot of the law And how the law intaled it to his person alone let vs heare the Euangelists for his title speake where wee shall finde three Maries recorded to bee Mothers vnto Christ his Apostles which were Mary the Uirgin Mary surnamed Salo●…e and Mary Cleopas for other Maries not to this purpose of purpose we omit Mary the Virgin and Mother of Christ neither by Saint Mathew nor by Saint Luke hath her Parents expresly recorded For the Euange lists setting downe the Lineage of our Sauiour they doe not by the line of Mary from whom he tooke flesh but from Ioseph by whom hee was to deriue the Kingdome Therefore it is consequent that the Euangelists in that point did principally intend to set forth our Sauiours Kingly right That so Christ might bee accounted from the man and not from the woman according to the vsuall manner of the Scriptures for which cause Ioseph is called the sonne both of Iacob his begetter and of Eli her father by the mariage of her his daughter And that shee was the daughter of Eli the Rabbins themselues doe acknowledge and so tearme her and doe bring her from Dauid from Iudah and from the Towne Bethlehem as the Euangelists haue done Ioseph her husband neither haue wee Christians euer seene any contrary record and so it must be For Christ could not truely be the seed of Dauid vnlesse Mary whose seede he was immediatly were truely the seed of Dauid But Christ was truely the seed of Dauid therefore Mary whose seed he was immediatly was truly the seed of Dauid This Mary then the daughter and sole heire of Eli her father hath her fathers right in the title of Iudah for so saith the Law If a man haue no sonne his daughter shall inherit And by matching with Ioseph in whom the right lay from Abiud the eldest of Zorobabels sonnes after his decease is also his heire For shee being descended from Rhesa the younger brother and Abiuds house failing in Ioseph her husband Abiuds inheritance was to descend vnto Rhesa his line and Mary then of Rhesa was heire vnto Abiud for so doth the same law establish that if a man haue neither sonne nor daughter as Ioseph had not the neerest of his kindred shall inherit And Mary the neerest by any record though many descents passed betwixt must be the only heire of Ioseph her husband he dying issulesse as hee did and of Eli her Father he hauing no other child to in herit And none suruiunig either Ioseph or Mary in that royall line Christ Iesus who was knowne and reputed to bee the onely sonne of them both by that double right and most inst title is stiled and called King of the Iewes Mary surnamed Salome in Marke 15. 40. by 〈◊〉 Flinspachio in his draughts of the Scriptures Genealo gies is set to be the daughter of Iacob and the sister of Ioseph the Carpenter but without any proof for his so doing alledged or warrant of any before him And so to admit ●…er were to intitle both her selfe sons to be next heires vnto Iudahs Crowne For Iosephs title standing from Abiud and dying 〈◊〉 as he did had shee beene his sister and from the same stem shee then had beene inheretri●… vnto Ioseph her brother deceased and must haue inioyed his rights by the same law before alledged And so her sons Iames Iohn had stood in estate before Iesus and the Euangelists too farre ouerseene to annihilate them the next in bloud and ●…uer to intitle Iesus King of the Iewes But antiquity hath brought this Mary Salome from Anna the mother of the blessed virgin Mary and how from Anna let me here insert from Authors worthy of credit Saint Hierom and others besides him affirme that this Anna had three husbands and by each of them had a daughter and each of the daughters named Mary The first Mary say they was borne by Anna vnto Ioachim or E●… her first husband who was of the Tribe of Iadah lineage of Dauid and this his daughter a wife and a virgin was made most blessed in bearing of Christ. Annaes second husband was Salome of whom or from whence is no where recorded that I haue seen Vnto him shee bare the second Mary for so in the vulgar translation shee is named but by the later is called onely Salome and is as it seemeth so called from Salome her father This Mary was the wife of Zebedee as is inferred by Saint Matthew chap. 27. 56. where shee is cal●…ed the mother of Zebedees sonnes and those were Iohn and Iames the beloued Apostles of our Lord who for their zeale were called the sons of thunder and may well bee accounted the kins-men of Christ but ●…o wise interested vnto Dauids Crowne The third and last Mary is cal●…ed Mary Cleopas being borne vnto Cleopas the third and last husband of Anna.
