After 7 days persuit of his Father in law and Uncle Laban and a great power he brought with him he was overtaken Yet nevertheless Laban being warned of God not to hurt Jacob made a convenant with him Gen 31. 48 49. not to hurt each other Here they made a heap of stones in memorial of the covenant and called the name of it Gilead and Mizpah And from thence Laban returned home in peace Jacob travelling a little further meets the Angels of God and called the name of the place Mahanaim at Fig. 20 in the Mapp From hence Jacob and all his Family and followers passed over the foord Jabbok Gen. 32. 22. Here it was that Jacob wrestled with God and obtained his blessing and was called Israel wherefore he called the name of the place Peniel at Fig. 21. in the Mapp And here he met his brother Esau coming against him with 400 men yet they imbraced and parted friendly from one another Esau to his dwellings in the mountains Seir at Fig. 22 in the Mapp Gen. 33. 16. and Jacob journied to Succoth on the River of Jordan at Fig. 23 in the Mapp where he built an house From thence he came neer the Citty of Shechem in Canaan at Fig. 17. in the Mapp From hence God commanded him to go to Bethel and make there an Altar unto God that appeared unto him when he fled from his brother Esau. Gen. 35. 1. From hence Jacob travelled towards Ephrath which is Bethelem at Fig. 24. And within a little way of the place Richel dyed with hard labour of her son Benjamin and was buried there Gen. 35. 19. and Gen. 48. 7. Israel travelled again from thence and pitched his Tents beyond the Tower of Edar at Fig. 25. in the Mapp From Edar he went to his Father Iscaac in Mamre at the Citty of Arbak at Fig. 11 in the Mapp And Isaac being 180 years old dyed and was buryed by his sons Esau and Jacob in the Sepulcher of his Father Abraham at Machpelah at Fig. 12 in the Mapp Israel being compelled by famine and invited by his son Joseph goes into Egypt that is the land of Cham also called Mitsraim where Joseph receives him with joy and duty and entertains him with great kindness and liberallity giving him with the consent of Pharaoh the Land of Goshen at Fig. 26 in the Mapp to live in The soules that came out of Egypt with him were in number 70. And Israel being very old and dim of sight dyed there and was carryed by his son Joseph and the rest of his children and a great train of Egyptians very magnificently into the land of Canaan and buried in the Sepulcher of his Father and Grandfather at Machpelah which is before Mamre at Fig. 12 in the Mapp Gen 50. 13. Thus is the curteous Spectator presented with a short Narration of the several Countries Stations and Dwellings of our first Parents from Adam downwards to Jacob and by the corresponding figures in the Mapp and this Narration is directed to find the scituation of every place in question which he shall read of in the Bible wherein they are concerned with very great ease speed and delight A short discourse upon the Perigrination of the Children of Israel Together with a Geographical description of the several places they travelled to between Egypt and the land of Canaan THe land of Promise is by some old Writers called Palestine as is conjectured from the name of the Inhabitants of the land called Philistines a Nation descended from Cham one of the sons of Noah And yet may this Land be properly called the Land of Promise in regard of the promise God made to Abraham Gen. 12. 7. and Gen. 13. 15. It takes the name of Canaan from Canaan one of the sons of Ham and is devided into particular Provinces according to the several names of Chams sons who were the first possessors of those Provinces as you may more perfectly see in the Mapp of Paradice And lastly this Land is called the Holy Land alluding to what God said unto Moses in Deut. 3. 5. Draw not nigh hither Put off thy shoes from thy feet for the Place whereon thou standest is Holy Ground Notwithstanding this was not spoken by God in the Land of Canaan but in the Wilderness of Sin by mount Horeb. Yet however we may account this a very proper name for this Land because the holiness of the Lord was there preserved The Holy Citty of Jerusalem stood in it and the most Holy and true Son of God had both his birth and conversation in it The extream bounds of this Land reaches Fastwards to Arabiathe Stony Westwards to the Great Sea Northwards to the Hills of Labanon and Southwards to the Wilderness of Paran Edom and Kadesh It s length between Labanon and Paran is about 150 English Miles The bredth between the Great Sea and the River of Jordan is various for in some Places it is about 50. in others about 60. Miles over This Land is watered with several smal Rivolets or Brooks some emptying themselves into the Great Sea and others running into the River of Jordan a famous River taking its original from two smal Lakes by the Woods of Labanon called Jor and Dan who running a little way unite both their streams and names and from thence is called Jordan This River Jordan runs from thence into the Lake Merom and from Merom into the Sea of Galilee otherwise called the Sea of Chinereth And lastly running from the Sea of Chinereth it looses its self and name in the Dead Sea or Vale of Siddim In this Valestood formerly those wicked Citties Sodom and Gomorrah and in the time of Lot was a most exceeding fruitfull plot of ground compared to the Garden of the Lord to witt Paradice Gen 13. 10. This Sea or Vale is also watered with the Brooks Zered and Arnon and is nevertheless as Josephus writes a salt and unfruitful Lake Tacitus Egysippus Pausanius and others write wonderful things of this Lake which for brevity we shall here omit Yet this we ought to remark that herein is found driving upon the waters a species of Pitch called Asphaltum from whence this Lake hath also obtained the name of Mare Asphalticum This Pitch being melted hath a noysom stinck and is used both in medicines and by the Inhabitants there-abouts for the pitching of Vessels But to proceed This Land of Canaan is a very fruitful Land producing Corn Wine Oyl Sugar Balsome Figgs Herbs and Flowers and is very truely termed a Land flowing with milk and honey Exod 3. 8. and in several other places It is beautified with many fair Hills Vales Fields Fountains Rivers Woods Citties Vi●lages and strong Castles exceling many other Lands in the World and therefore given by God for an Inheritance to the Father of the faithful and his Seed the children of Israel as a type of the Heavenly Canaan the place of perfect and accomplished joy and happiness The exceeding
great number of Citties in this Land is almost incredible yet that you may the better conceive of it we have thought fit to add a Catalogue of the Kingly Citties which Joshua by lot devided to the children of Israel as follows To the Tribe of Ruben Hesh●●n Madian P●tra To Manasse G●●al F●a-D●r Ta●●a●● M●g●●●● Israel Th●●z● Ashtaroth Domas●●● Ed●●● Gesur Maachath Zoba Them●●● Madon To Gad Rabbah To Benjamin ●●thel A● Gibe●● Jer●sa●●● Jericho To Simeon Debir Gerar.

Bes●k Hebron Adullam Tappua To Ephraim G●●ur Tappuah L●ssaron Samaria in all 52 Kingly Citties This Description of the Land of Canaan may be thought unproper in this place since we pretend to shew you the children of Israels forty years wandering through the Wilderness But because you may know what Land it was God had ordained for them after their Trials and Travels and because we intend in our Discourse upon the Mapp of Canaan to treat mostly upon the Actions and Passages of our Saviour Jesus Christ in this Land therefore we thought fit to insert this Discourse here and to omit it in the next Mapp Wherefore Having thus given you an account of the Land of Promise we come next to shew the Perigrination of the children of Israel towards it through the Wildernesses of Paran Zin Kadesh c. where for your information take notice that the double prickt line in the Map shews the passage they made and where you find six little round thus besides the prickt line it shews where they pitched their Tents Each Station is marked with numerical figures to which the numerical figures in the Mapp and Book bear particular referrences But to the purpose God having purposed that the posterity of Abraham should remain as strangers in a strange Land 430 years And this time being expired he took notice of their miserable bondage and how they were supprest and tasked of the Egyptians he heard the sighs and complaints of his People and therefore sent his servants Moses and Aaron to lead them out of Egypt into the Promised land And because King Pharaoh opposed them therefore God sent all sorts of plagues upon Egypt so that at last Pharaoh and his people were not only willing to let them go but even in a manner drove them out of the land The children of Israel therefore gathered themselves together from all parts of the land to Rameses and ate the Paschal Lamb on the 14. day of the moneth Ibib. Exod. 13. 4. which with us is part of the moneth of March and by them accounted the first moneth of the Year 2583. years after the Creation of the World The next day to wit the 15 day of the first moneth they journeyed from thence to Succoth at fig. 1. in the Mapp and from thence to Etham at fig. 2. on the edge of the Wilderness and there encamped themselves From thence they turned to Pi-hahiroth at fig. 3. between Migdal and the Sea where they were overtaken by the Egytians But God set his Angel behind the camp to guard it And having provided a Pillar of Cloud and a Pillar of Light the one to guide them in the Day and the other to light them in the Night placed the Pillar of loud behind the Israelites and it became a Light to them but Darkness to the Egyptians so as they could not come at them Israel being thus beset on each side with high mountains behind with an Enemy and before with the Red Sea cryed unto the Lord who by the hands of his servant Moses caused the Waters to part and they went over on dry Ground But when the Egyptians persued them the Waters returned again and covered them and their Chariots so that they were all drowned in the Sea and not one of them escaped Hereat the People rejoyce and Moses and Miriam sing praises to the Lord for their deliverance But journeying farther come to the bitter Waters of Marah at fig. 4. where they encamped and murmurred against Moses who by the Lords direction threw a Tree into the Waters and they became sweet Exod. 15. 25. From hence they journeyed to Elim at fig. 5. and encamped there where they found twelve Fountains of Water and seventy Palm Trees From thence they came to the coasts of the Red Sea at fig. 6. And from thence to the Wilderness of Sin at fig. 7. and encamped there on the 15 day of the second Moneth after they came out of the Land of Egypt Here they again murmurred against Moses for want of Flesh calling for the Flesh pots and Bread of Egypt Wherefore the Lord pittying them sent them their dayly bread from Heaven which they called Mannah and caused a great number of Qua●●s to come out of the Sea to seed them with Then they journeyed from Sin and set up their Tents in Dep●k●● at fig. 8. From thence to Alush at fig. 9. Thence Rep●●dim at fig. 10 where there was no Water to drink wherefore the People again murmur at Moses and tempred the Lord and therefore the name of the place was called Massah and 〈◊〉 Exod. 17. 7. Nevertheless the Lord commanded Moses to smite the Rock and there came forth Water for the People to drink Here also Amalek came forth against Israel and Moses and Aaren and Hur went up to the top of the Hill where Moses lined up his hand 〈◊〉 Prayer to the Lord and Israel prevailed but when his hands grew heavy so that he could not hold them up Amalek prevailed against Israel therefore Aaron and ●ur got a stone for Moses to sit on and held up his hands steddy till Amlek was quite discomfited Afterwards came Jethro the Father in law of Moses and Priest of Midian whom Moses received with reverence and love And Jethra brought with him his daughter Zioporah Moses wife and her two sons Gerskon and Eliezer Jethro seeing the great paine and trouble Moses had in judging the People concels him to seek out Wise Couragious and Jastmen fearing God and set them as Rulers over thousands over hundreds and over tens and what causes were too great for them they should bring before Moses This pleased Moses well and he did so And his Father in law departed into his own Countrey The same day the Israelites departed out of Riphidim and encamped in the Wilderness of Sinai at fig. 11. against the Mountains which are also in part called Horeb Here God came down upon Mount Sinai in the sight of all the People and gave them his Law first by word of mouth and afterwards to Moses in two Tables written on Stone by God himself after he had been forty dayes in the Mount with God Exod. 32. 16. and Deut. 9. 9 10 11. But Moses coming down and seeing the Idolatry of the People towards the Golden Calf waxed
disco●●●ted by the Amalekites and the Cana●ni●es and persued and consumed even unto Hormah From Rithmah the Lord commanded them to go to Rimmon-Parez at fig. 15. from ●immon-Pare● to Lithnah at fig. 16. from thence to Rissa at fig. 17. then to Kehelathah at fig. 18 then to Mount Shapher at fig. 19. then to Haradah fig. 20. then to Makheloth fig 21 ●hen to Tahath fig. 22. then to Tarah fig. 23. then to Mithkah fig. 24 then to Hashmonah fig. 25. then to Moseroth fig. 26. then to Bene-Jaakan fig. 27. then to Hor-hagidgad at fig. 28. then to Jotbathah fig. 29. then to Ehronah fig. 30. then to Ezion-g●ber fig. 31. on the Red Sea from whence Salomon sent his Ships to Ophir for Gold 1 Kin. 9. 26. While they were in these last recited Journeys Korah Dathan and Abiram conspired against Moses and Aaron and begat a rebellion in the People for which the Earth opened and swallowed them up alive and the men that were with them and all their families and Goods and 250 of their partakers that offered falfe Incense were consumed by fire that came out from the Lord. Where at on the morrow all the People murmurred against Moses and Aaron telling them that they had killed the People of the Lord. At which the anger of the Lord was so kindled that he sent a Plague among them that destroyed 14700 Souls Then the Lord to put an end to the grudgings of the People commanded Moses to cause all the Princes of each Tribe to bring every one his Rod and write thereon his Name and put them before the Tabernacle of the Congregation and to write Aarons name on his Rod and put it there also and the mans Rod whom the Lord should chuse to be chief Priest should bud So on the morrow Aarons Rod was budded and brought forth blossoms and bare ripe Almonds Numh. chap. 16. and ch 17. By this time God had led them 39 years through several Wildernesses and in the first moneth they removed from Esiongeber into the Wilderness of Zin to Kadesh at fig. 32. Here Mariam dyed and was burieed And here the People again murmur against Moses and Aaron for want of Water whereupon Moses prays unto the Lord who directs him to assemble the Congregation and to take his Rod and speak unto the Rock before them which he did but smote the Rock twice and there came forth Water abundantly for them and their Cattle For which twice striking upon the Rock the Lord reprehends Moses and Aaron of unbeleef since he only commanded them to speak to the Rock and tells them they shall not bring the Congregation into the Land which he had promised them This was the Water of Meriba so called because of the strife between the People and the Lord. Numb 20. 13. From hence Moses sent messengers to the King of Edom desiring passage through his Countrey but he denying it the Camp journeyed to Mount Hor fig. 33 where Aaron dyed in the tortieth year after the children of Israel set forth out of the land of Egypt being aged 123 years Numb 13. 38 39. While they were at Mount Hor King Arad a Can●anite warred against Israel but Israel overcame them and destroyed their Cities From Mount Hor the Camp removed to Zalmonah at fig. 34. towards the Red Sea to go about by the land of Edom to Punon fig. 35. where the way seemed very grievous to them so that they again fell to murmuring against the Lord and Moses Wherefore the Lord sent fiery Serpents among them which stung many of them to death But upon their confession of their sins and Moses praying to the Lord God commanded Moses to make a fiery Serpent and to set it up for those to look on that were bitten that they might live Numb 21. 5 6 8 1 9. From Punon they came to Oboth fig. 36. thence to Jie-abarim fig. 37. on the borders of Moab Thence they came and pitched on the River Zared fig. 38. thence to Dibon-gad fig. 39. then to Almon-blath fig. 40. from thence they passed by the Well Beer and came to Mattanah fig. 41. then to Nahaliel fig. 42. then to Batmoth fig. 43. in the Plain of Moab even to the top of Pisgah at this * figure in the Mapp From hence Israel sent messengers to Sihon King of the Amorites desiring his leave to pass through his Countrey but instead of giving leave he raised an Army and fought against Israel But Israel overcame him and took his Countrey from him and possessed it and put all his People to the sword In this encamping the Israelites commit fornication with the Women of Moab and Idolatry with Baal-Peor which so kindled the anger of God against them that he sent a Plague among them which destroyed 24000 Souls After which God commanded Moses again to number the People and he found the number of males of 20 years old and upwards to be 601630. besides the Levites who were numbred to be 23000. males from a moneth old and upwards Numb 26. But the Lord commanded Moses to revenge himself on the Midianites so he selected 1000 out of every Tribe and sent them against the Kings of Midian and slew them and all the males and took their Women and their Cattle and all they had and fired their Citties and Villages He sent forth also and took Og King of Boshan and his Countrie and all the Lands about Jordan on this side Here Moses received command of the Lord to go up into the top of this Mount Pisgah and take a view of the land of Promise for that in regard of his disobedience to the Lord at the Waters of Meribah he should not enter thereinto but Joshuab should ledd the People over And here Moses dyed when he was 120 years old and was buryed in a Valley in the land of Moab over against Beth. peor but his Sepulcher is concealed Deut. 34. 6. After Israel had mourned 30 daies for Moses God commanded Joshuah to pass over Jordan and take possession of the Promised Land Therefore Joshuah sent out two men to Jericho to spy the Land who returning brought tydings how much discouraged the Inhabitants were because of them Whereupon the Camp removed to Shittim and came to Joraan and lodged there before they went over Three daies after the Officers went through the Camp commanding the People to be in readiness against the Ark removed to pass over Jordan And so soon as the feet of the Priests that bare the Ark touched the brinks of the Water the Water parted but the Priests with the Ark went into the middle of Jordan and there stood till all the children of Israel went over on dry Land And for a perpetual memorial of this miracle God commanded Joshuah to cause one man out of every Tribe to take a Stone out of the midst of the River where the Priests feet stood and leave it at the place where they should encamp that night which was at Gilgal
