Beautifull for situation the joy of the whole earth is mount Sion on the sides of the north the City of the great king IErusalem was compassed about with Hils and Valleyes the Hiles were Gareb Calvarie Gihon Aceldamae The Hils compassed Ierusalem Olivet the Valleyes were the Valley of dead Carkases Tyropaeum the Valley of Iehosophat or hinnon or the Kings dale The Citie it selfe stood upon foure Hils The Hils upon which Ierusalem stood Sion towards the south Akra towards the north upon which Salem stood Moriah betwixt Sion and Akra and Bezetha betwixt Akra and Moriah and betwixt Sion and Moriah lay the great gulfe of Millo Vpon every one of these hills there is some notable thing to be observed Some memorable things done on every one of the Hils upon mount Gareb all the Lepers were put therefore it is called the hill of Scabbes Iere. 31.39 upon mount Calvarie Christ was crucified upon Gihon Salomon was anoynted King In Aceldama was the potters field which was bought with

afterwards was the Temple of Salomon builded The new towne of Ierusalem stood in Bezetha called the upper Mercat In Bezetha was builded the new towne of Ierusalem called forum inferius in respect of forum superius that was in Sion To the north of Bezetha and Akra stood the new towne builded by Hezekiah which he compassed round about with a wall called murus tertius for the first wall was builded by David round about Sion even to the Sheep-gate the second wall was builded by Salomon round about Bezetha and joyned with the first wall at the Sheepe-gate the third wall was builded by Hezekiah joyning it to the old wall of the City Salem and compassed round about mount Akra to the water gate where it joyned with the second wall The gulfe Millo Millo was a deepe gulfe lying to the north of

called Sion Ierusalem is sometimes called Sion and sometimes Moriah and sometimes Moriah and Sion is called the hill of God Psal 68.15 that is an excellent hill for the Hebrewes wanting the superlative they supply it by adding the name God by which they understand that which is most excellent and great in that kind Psal 80.11 The trees of it were like the Cedars of God that is excellent Cedars So 1 Sam. 18.10 the evill spirit of the Lord came upon Saul that is a very evill spirit So Ierusalem is called the daughter of Sion that is Sion herselfe as the Sonne of man that is a man When Ierusalem and Sion are set together Ierusalem and Sion put together for the more earnest expression they are so to be understood as a repetition of the selfe-same thing for the more earnest expression as Zach. 9.9 O daughter of Sion O daughter of Ierusalem here the explaining of the one word by the other carieth a great weight with it So Psal 92.9 For loe thine enemies O Lord for loe thine enemies
