Iosi saith On a time I was walking by the way and I went into one of the deserts of Ierusalem to pray then came Eliah of blessed memorie and watched me at the gate and stayed for me till I had ended my prayer after that I had ended my prayer he saith vnto me Peace be vpon thee Rabbi I said vnto him peace be vpon thee Rabbi and master Then said he to me my sonne wherefore wentest thou into this desert I said vnto him To pray Hee said to mee thou mightest haue prayed in the way Then said I I was afraid least passengers would interrupt me He said vnto me thou shouldest haue prayed a short prayer At that time I learned of him three things I learned that wee should not go into the desert and I learned that we should pray by the way and learned thet hee that prayed by the way must pray a short prayer Thus farre their Talmud maketh them these letters patents for Hypocrisie fathering this bastard vpon blessed Elias who was not a high-way prayer or one that practised his owne deuotions in publike for hee was Iohn Baptists type for retirednesse CAP. LII Israels affliction in Aegypt OF Israels being in Egypt many Heathen Authors doe touch though euery one a seuerall way and all of them the wrong Iosephus against Appion is angrie at their fables about it Of the famine that brought them thither if we take the want of Nilus flowing to bee the naturall cause as most like it was there seemes then to be some remembrance of those seuen yeares in Seneca in his naturall questions where he saith Per nouem annos Nilum non ascendisse superioribus saeculis Callimachus est Author that is Callimachus writes that in old time Nilus flowed not of nine yeares together where hee outstrips but two of the number But of Israels affliction in Egypt I finde the Heathens silent God had told Abraham of this their hardship long before and shewed him a token of it by the fowles lighting vpon his carcasses Gen. 15. A type of Israels being in Egypt and of Pharoahs being plagued for their sakes was when Pharoah suffered for taking Sarah from her husband and keeping her in his house as it is Gen 12. How long they were in that land few there bee but know but how long their affliction lasted is vncertaine Probable it is that it was about an hundred and twenty yeares the time of the old worlds repentance and Moses his age This is to be searched by Leui his age which within a little one may find certaine All the generation of Iosephs time die before they are afflicted as all the generation of Ioshuahs time die before they fall to Idolatry Iudges 2.10 The reasons why God should thus suffer them to suffer whether it were to fit them for the receiuing of him and his Law or whether it were to whip them for their Idolatry or for some other cause I dare not enter too neare to search this I see that when the foundation as it were of the visible Church is laid thus in affliction that that the Church cannot but looke for affliction whilest it liues in the Egypt of this world But as Israel increased vnder persecution so does the Church for euen when sparsum est semen sanguinis Martyrum surrexit seges Ecclesiae Nec frustra orauit Ecclesia pro inimicis suis crediderunt qui persequebantur Aust. Ser. de temp 109. To omit the Iewes fancie that the Israelitish women bare sixe at a birth and to omit questioning whether faetifer Nilus the drinking of the water of Nilus which as some say is good for generation did conduce to the increasing of Israel I can onely looke at God and his worke which did thus multiplie and sustaine them in fornace affliction Si Deus nobiscum quis contra nos God had promised this increase to Iacob as he fled to Haran Gen. 28. in a dreame from the top of Iacobs ladder And here he proues faithfull who had promised CAP. LIII Israels Campe according to the Chaldee Paraphrast his description Num. 2. THe Chaldee is precise about pitching Israels Campe I haue not thought much to translate a whole chapter out of him that the Reader may see at the least his will if not his truth Numb 11.1 And the Lord spake to Moses and to Aaron saying 2. Euery one of the children of Israel shall pitch by his standerd by the ensignes whereto they are appointed by the standerds of their fathers shall they pitch ouer against the Tabernacle of the Congregation round about 3. The Camp of Israel was twelue miles long and twelue miles broad and they that pitched Eastward toward the Sun-rising the standard of the Campe of Iudah foure miles square and his ensigne was of three party colours like the three pearles that were in the brestplate or rationall the rubies topaz and carbuncle and in it was deciphered and expressed the names of three Tribes Iudah Issachar Zebulon and in the middle was written 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Arise O Lord and let thine enemies be scattered and let them that hate thee flie before thee And in it was drawne the picture of a Lions whelpe for the Prince of the children of Iudah Nahshon the sonne of Aminadab 4.

The standard of the hoast of Reuben shall pitch Southward by their Armies foure miles square and his ensigne was of three party colors like the three stones in the brestplate the Emeraud Saphire and Diamond and in it was deciphered and expressed the names of three Tribes Reuben Simeon Gad and in the middle was written thus 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Heare O Israel the Lord our God is one Lord. And in it was drawne the picture of a yong Hart but there should haue beene drawne in it a Bullocke but Moses the Prophet changed it because hee would not put them in mind of their sinne about the calfe And the Prince that was set ouer the hoast of the Tribe of Reuben was Elitzur the sonne of Shedeur 12. And his hoast and the number of his Tribe 59300. 13. And the Tribe of Gad and the Prince that was set ouer the hoast of the Tribe of Gad Eliasaph the sonne of Deuel 15. And his hoast and the number of his Tribe 45600. 16. All the

number of the hoast of Reuben 151450. by their Armies they went second 17. Then went the Tabernacle of the Congregation and the hoast of the Leuites in the Camps and their Campe was foure mile square they went in the middle as they pitched so they went euery one in his ranke according ●o his standard 18. The standard of the Campe of Ephraim by their hoasts pitched Westward and their Campe was foure mile square and his ensigne was of three party colours like the three stones in the brestplate a Turkie an Achat and an Hamatite and in it was deciphered and expressed the names of three Tribes Ephraim Manasseh and Beniamin and in the middle was written 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 c. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 And the cloud of the Lord was vpon them by day when they went out of the Campe and in it was drawen the picture of a child And the Prince that was set ouer the Army of the Children of Ephraim was Elishama the sonne of Ammihud 19.

LIIII Of Iob. ABout Israels being in Egypt Iob liues in Arabia a heathen man and yet so good and so Saint Gregory saith his Countrey is purposely named that the goodnesse of the man may be the more illustrated His times may be picked by the genealogie of himselfe and his friends that come to see him And God in the first and second chapters saith that there was not a man on earth like him for goodnes which is a signe that Abraham Isaac and Iacob and Ioseph were not aliue nor Moses but in the times twixt Ioseph and Moses Israel corrupt themselues with Egyptians idols and in Israel the likeliest place to finde a good man in is not one to be found like Iob. Thus when Israel idolizes and the Church begins to faile in Iacob God hath one in Arabia that hath a little Church in his house It is not amisse for euery one for his more watchfulnesse to marke that Satan knowes Iob as soone as euer God speakes of him When the Angels appeare before God Satan the Deuill is among them So When the Disciples are with Christ Iudas a Deuill is among them Pharoah in Egypt is afflicted by God Iob in Arabia is afflicted by the Deuill His afflictions harden him against God His afflictiōs harden him against the Deuill Iobs children feasting ouerwhelmed by an house The Philistins sporting ouerwhelmed by an house Iudg. 16. Iob is afflicted as the souldiers 2. King 1. by fire As the Ziklagites 1. Sam. 30. by captiuity As the Egyptians with losse of children Exod. 12. And as the Egyptians with boiles Exod 9. And which was not his least crosse like Adam with an ill counselling wife Iob hath 3. with him when hee is changed by affliction So Christ hath three with him when he is changed in his transfiguration which three as they were by Christ when Moses and Elias Law and Prophecie told him in the mount of his departing which hee should accomplish at Ierusalem Luk. 9.31 So these three were with him when hee began to accomplish these things Mat. 26.37 CAP. LV. Egyptians Deities ex Athenae Deipn Lib. 7. A Naxandrides in his booke of Cities turning his speech to the Egyptians saith thus 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Thus does one Heathen Idolater deride another because hee worships as the other thinks the more ridiculous Deities The very Heathen could deride and scoffe at their vaine gods Dionysius was most notorious this way and knauish in this kinde was the Painter who when hee should haue drawne the picture of such a goddesse for a Grecian City to worship hee drew the portraicture of his owne sweet-heart and so made her to bee adored And indeed what man could haue held laughing to haue seene as my Poet saith here an Egyptian on his maribones adoring a dog or praying to an oxe or especially to see him mourning and howling ouer a sicke cat fearing least his scratching God should die CAP. LVI Of the Law broken by Adam THe Law was Adams lease when God made him tenent of Eden The conditions of which bond when he kept not he forfeited himselfe and all vs. God read a lecture of the Law to him before hee fell to be a hedge to him to keepe him in Paradise but when Adam would not keepe within compasse this Law is now become as the flaming sword at Eden gate to keepe him and his posteritie out Adam heard as much in the garden as Israel did at Sinai but onely in fewer words and without thunder The L●w came more gently to him before his fall but after his fall comes the thunder with it Adam at one clap breakes both the tables and all the commandements 1. He chose him another god when he followed the Deuill 2. He idolized and deified his own belly as the Apostles phrase is his belly he made his god 3. Hee tooke the name of God in vaine when he
