A65947	An answer to A letter to Dr. Sherlock written in vindication of that part of Josephus's history which gives the account of Jaddus's submission to Alexander against the answer to the piece entituled, Obedience and submission to the present government / by the same author.	Wagstaffe, Thomas, 1645-1712.	1692 (1692)	Wing W204; ESTC R23586	116,906	108

well_o i_o perceive_v though_o josephus_n be_v somewhat_o unfortunate_a in_o have_v so_o many_o people_n find_v fault_n with_o he_o yet_o he_o be_v mighty_a happy_a in_o a_o advocate_n who_o will_v be_v sure_a to_o find_v out_o some_o oblique_a reason_n or_o other_o to_o lay_v all_o the_o blame_n upon_o they_o but_o i_o wonder_v which_o way_n our_o author_n will_v vindicate_v josephus_n from_o himself_o such_o character_n may_v serve_v well_o enough_o for_o heathen_n jew_n and_o the_o answerer_n and_o malice_n enmity_n and_o particular_a quarrel_n may_v be_v a_o reason_n sufficient_a against_o they_o but_o what_o i_o pray_v be_v the_o reason_n of_o the_o vindicator_n contradict_v of_o josephus_n josephus_n as_o much_o break_v our_o author_n measure_n as_o i_o and_o if_o he_o can_v reconcile_v his_o own_o chronology_n with_o josephus_n i_o will_v give_v he_o the_o cause_n and_o let_v our_o author_n try_v what_o a_o pure_a answer_n this_o will_v be_v in_o the_o differ_a account_n he_o give_v from_o josephus_n and_o i_o do_v not_o know_v any_o reason_n but_o it_o may_v be_v as_o good_a a_o answer_n for_o he_o with_o respect_n to_o the_o point_n in_o which_o he_o differ_v from_o josephus_n as_o it_o be_v for_o i_o with_o respect_n to_o those_o in_o which_o i_o differ_v from_o he_o well!_o how_o liberal_a soever_o the_o author_n be_v but_o just_a before_o to_o allow_v i_o the_o jewish_a chronologer_n because_o he_o think_v they_o not_o worth_a much_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o he_o will_v not_o allow_v i_o they_o neither_o for_o it_o follow_v but_o yet_o the_o jewish_a chronologer_n will_v not_o help_v the_o objector_n in_o his_o cause_n they_o will_v not_o make_v jaddus_n live_v to_o one_o hundred_o and_o twenty_o four_o year_n of_o age_n and_o sanballat_n to_o one_o hundred_o and_o forty_o five_o nor_o do_v i_o quote_v they_o for_o any_o such_o thing_n but_o for_o something_o else_o as_o we_o shall_v see_v present_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n his_o reason_n be_v they_o be_v so_o far_o from_o that_o that_o they_o scarce_o allow_v either_o of_o they_o any_o age_n for_o they_o make_v the_o 64._o the_o ganz_n p._n 57_o 64._o whole_a time_n of_o the_o

will_v not_o allow_v sanballat_n or_o jaddus_n scarce_o any_o age_n 64._o p._n 64._o ganz_n himself_o in_o answer_v a_o objection_n out_o of_o meor_n enajim_n concern_v this_o very_a matter_n and_o to_o make_v good_a his_o compute_v suppose_v the_o high_a priest_n to_o have_v child_n at_o eighteen_o or_o twenty_o and_o then_o suppose_v that_o upon_o the_o return_v out_o of_o babylon_n jeshua_n may_v be_v a_o hundred_o at_o the_o same_o time_n joakim_n eighty_o eliashib_n sixty_o joiadah_fw-mi forty_o johanan_n twenty_o and_o jadduah_n just_o bear_v then_o and_o then_o conclude_v if_o simeon_n justus_n be_v jaddua_n he_o must_v be_v thirty_o five_o at_o the_o time_n of_o alexander_n if_o simeon_n justus_n be_v the_o eight_o from_o jeshua_n i._n e._n the_o grandson_n of_o jaddus_n than_o it_o be_v but_o suppose_v they_o have_v child_n at_o eighteen_o and_o then_o there_o will_v be_v time_n sufficient_a now_o this_o how_o wild_a soever_o it_o be_v yet_o show_v that_o they_o be_v not_o for_o allow_v they_o scarce_o any_o age_n when_o ganz_n himself_o have_v take_v such_o mighty_a pain_n to_o make_v they_o some_o and_o as_o i_o take_v it_o the_o assign_v jaddus_n express_o

author_n call_v he_o jaddus_n but_o for_o that_o our_o author_n say_v he_o may_v have_v see_v in_o the_o passage_n before_o where_o ganz_n tell_v we_o of_o simeon_n the_o just_a that_o his_o name_n be_v jadduah_n and_o that_o be_v true_a too_o that_o he_o say_v so_o and_o this_o bring_v we_o to_o the_o point_n before_o we_o ganz_n make_v the_o whole_a time_n of_o the_o persian_a monarchy_n very_o short_a about_o sixty_o and_o odd_a year_n and_o at_o the_o end_n of_o it_o make_v simeon_n justus_n the_o son_n of_o jeshua_n high_a priest_n and_o call_v he_o jadduah_n which_o be_v plain_o false_a for_o simeon_n justus_n be_v son_n of_o onias_n and_o grandson_n of_o jaddus_n and_o therefore_o against_o his_o short_a computation_n he_o raise_v a_o objection_n out_o of_o other_o jewish_a chronologer_n particular_o out_o of_o the_o author_n of_o meor_n enajim_n 59_o pag._n 58_o 59_o who_o say_v that_o simeon_n justus_n be_v the_o eight_o from_o jeshua_n and_o prove_v it_o partly_o from_o nehemiah_n 12._o where_o it_o be_v say_v and_o jeshua_n beget_v joiakim_n and_o joiakim_n beget_v eliashib_n and_o eliashib_n joiada_n and_o joiada_n johanan_n and_o johanan_n jaddua_n and_o

that_o the_o time_n of_o the_o persian_a monarchy_n be_v much_o long_o than_o ganz_n compute_v they_o and_o which_o seem_v to_o be_v the_o main_a reason_n of_o the_o objection_n as_o it_o be_v repeat_v by_o ganz_n for_o i_o have_v not_o the_o author_n and_o which_o appear_v further_o by_o ganz'_v answer_n page_n 63_o 64._o and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o my_o quote_v the_o jewish_a

by_o it_o that_o the_o persian_a monarchy_n stand_v much_o long_o than_o ganz_n will_v have_v it_o be_v certain_o true_a likewise_o but_o as_o far_o as_o appear_v by_o what_o ganz_n cite_v they_o think_v simeon_n justus_n be_v high_a priest_n at_o the_o end_n of_o that_o monarchy_n as_o well_o as_o ganz_n only_o he_o call_v he_o jaddua_n when_o jaddua_n be_v his_o grandfather_n and_o be_v plain_o prove_v so_o by_o they_o from_o the_o succession_n of_o the_o high_a priest_n upon_o the_o same_o account_v it_o be_v that_o i_o quote_v ganz_n for_o the_o jewish_a chronologer_n concern_v the_o build_n of_o the_o temple_n of_o girizim_n which_o our_o author_n tell_v we_o 51._o pag._n 51._o the_o objector_n say_v the_o jewish_a chronologer_n affirm_v to_o have_v be_v build_v long_o
