it was very streit or rigorous and dowted therwithal it would be so odious to al those countries that joined therunto that therby they might pluk them al upon them and occasion them to lay their powers togither in like sort to destroy them from the face of the earth that without mercie had destroied so ancient a people For worldly policie doth in such cases praevail very much with flesh and blood Nevertheles that we may see in what sort they did order this matter so far as they medled therwith first of al they began to take possession of their land when on the east side of Iordan they had a Num. 21 21-35 Deu. 2 26-37 3 1-11 subdued Sehon king of the Ammorites and Og the king of Basan and tooke those countries unto themselves At which time we find very good likelihood that they did fully execute the charge committed unto them For seeing we read b Deut. 2 34. 3 6. that they did utterly destroy them men women and children and that God so far approoveth their dealing with Sehon that he c Num. 21 34 maketh it a patern for them to follow in their dealing with Og and misliketh nothing that we read of in either of both it must needs be a very good conjecture if not a sufficient proofe that they destroied their idols also and did whatsoever els was to be done after a faithful and zealous maner But immediately after this before that ever they passed Iordan to the other side of the land by the reason that d Ios 2 1-21 6 22 23. a certain woman that kept victualing Rahab by name and dwelling in Iericho did keep secret a couple of men that Iosuah had sent to search the land both those men did swear unto hir that they would save hir and hir houshold harmles and the whole armie after they came in performed the same After this they entered the land and being victorious did very wel for ought we see to the contrarie perform their charge themselves entering unto the possession of the land ever as they got it and rooting out the old inhabitants and their idols with them And although e Ios 7 1-26 one man Acham by name did through covetousnes grevously transgresse and though the wrath of God was therby so sharply provoked that he did punish the whole multitude by making them flie before their enimies yet neither was it but one mans trespasse neither did the whole congregation leave it unpunished How beit not long after f Ios 9 3-15 both Iosuah himselfe and the rest of the princes did commit a foul oversight contrarie to the charge that the Lord had given them For when as the embassadors of the Gibeonites who were of that people that the Lord had appointed them to destroy came with a subtil practice to get a leag of peace at the hands of the Israelites praetending themselves to be of another nation far distant from the land of Canaan and that they came to be in leag with them for the great things that they heard to be done by them then the Israelites were so fully persuaded by that homly pollicie of the Gibeonites that they were indeed as they praetended that forgetting to aske counsel of the mouth of the Lord or els counting the same but needles in so plain a matter as they supposed it to have been they unadvisedly entered into the leag with them They were as wise men as others are and yet in this did they very fouly overshoote themselves But such is the wisdom of flesh and blood when it regardeth not the word of the Lord but wil venture to go by it self But this was but a smal slip to speak of in comparison of that which followed and besides that it was immediately after somthing amended by themselves For afterward they did indeed conquer the whole land and g Ios 12 24. slu in al one and thirtie kings But having once gotten the feeld of al their enimies and having driven them that remained to their holds h Iudg. 2 10.

Iaacob as he lay on his death-bed in Aegypt had taken unto him the two sons of Ioseph which were Manasses and Ephraim as his own and so making two tribes of Ioseph had made thirteen in al the Lord thus taking the Levites out did leave them to keep stil the nūber of twelve By this distribution we are led as it were by the hand to follow this order First to search out what was given or allotted to those twelve tribes Ruben Simeon Iudah Dan Nephtalie Gad Aser Isachar Zabulon Ephraim Manasses and Benjamin and then what was given to the tribe of Levie whom the Lord had exempted from the rest 14 Vnto the twelve tribes What was the portion of the twelve tribes the whole land was by God himselfe appointed to be given and that by lot for the avoiding of contention that otherwise might have risen about that matter Howbeit this distribution was not so praecisely observed but that two tribes and a halfe that is the tribes of Ruben and Gad and halfe the tribe of Manasses praeventing their lot in that distribution got a portion to be assigned to them For so soone as the children of Israel had conquered those two kings aforesaid on the east side of Iordan before that ever as yet they had entred the land of Canaan a Nu. 32 1-42 these two tribes halfe the other liking that countrie wel desired Moses that the same might stand for their lot and so would they be content without any more on the other side Moses therfore taking them bound that they should nevertheles go over with their brethren and help them to fight their battels and not forsake them til their brethren also had gotten the victorie of al their enimies granted their request gave unto them that land of the Ammorites which immediately before they had gotten of Sheon and Og before mentioned Vnto the b Nu. 26 53-56 Ios 11 23. other nine tribes and the halfe that remained was the rest of the land that which lieth on the west side of Iordan and is called the land of Canaan divided but in such sort that as everie tribe had their portion by lot assigned unto them so should it be divided among themselves in such sort that those which were many might have more and those that were fewer should have lesse Again they divided among themselves the whole countrie that the Lord had bounded foorth unto them not only those cities which they had alreadie conquered but those also that were yet in their enimies hands And so dismissed al the tribes to repair to their own private inheritance and to conquer their hom-enimies such as remained within the lot or possession of everie one 15 Of the Levites there were three families What was the portion of the Levites and everie of those assigned to a special function or charge but that discourse we must reserve til we come to speak of their office or in what sort they had to live in this land which God doth give them So far as appertaineth to this praesent purpose being but about to search out what portion they have among their brethren it shal be best to make our distribution otherwise dividing the whole into these two sorts the common sort of Levites and those that ministred about the ordinarie service For either of these two sorts had as it were a several portion The common sort of Levites or generally the whole multitude of them were appointed to have for their maintenance a Num. 18 20 23.

Their cities were so taken out from among the rest that those which had manie gave mo and those which had fewer gave accordingly and the Levites were so scattered throughout the land that the people might everie-where be better taught The suburbs that their cities were allowed to have to find their cattel withal were appointed to be two thousand cubits or halfe a mile foorth-right frō the wals of the citie round about so that although God gave them no such portion as he gave to the other yet considering that ech of them had but a twelfe part and these a tenth part besides their cities with their suburbs it is evident that by Gods ordinance they had a much better part at least so long as the number of them did not much exceed themselves as they were now for that they were the fewest in number of al the other tribes Also the maner of paieng this tith was such that d Lev. 27 32 33. it was not lawful for them to put by a better and to put in a woorse in steed therof but to pay the same that fel out to be the tenth whether it were better or woorse And e Lev. 27 31. though the place were far so that they would rather covet to give the valu of it in monie than the thing it selfe in kind yet might they not so do but by putting a fift part more therunto so to put by such collusion as therupon might otherwise arise 16 Vnto the preests that were occupied in the ministration What was the portion of the preests a more liberal portion was du which arose unto them two maner of wais Wherof the former is the same that respecteth their ordinarie commodities the other that which respecteth certain other extraordinarie fees or avails Their ordinarie commoditie besides a Deu. 18 8. that which otherwise any of them might have of his own consisted principally in three things wherof the first is the tenth or tith that they had of that tenth or tith which the Levites received of the Israelits For as the Levites were allowed to take tith of their brethren the Israelites so b Num. 18 25 26. were they charged to pay over the tith of the same to the preests The second sort of such cōmodities as were ordinarie c Num. 18 8 9 11 19 30 31 Num. 5 8-10 were those measures and parts of al such things as were brought unto the Lord for oblations and sacrifices which was according to the nature of the sacrifice of which afterward we have to speak either a certain quantitie of corn flower wine or oile or else
