In these days lived Judith of Bethulia a very famous Woman this was she who cut off the head of Holifernes This Holifernes was a great Commander General under Nabochodonozor And that Nebochodonozor reigned at Babylon during the time of King Darius at Susha● in Persia and rebelled against the King of Persia. And during this rebellion having vanquished one Arphaxad a Deputy Prince of Media under Darius he waxed proud and sent Holofernes out Westward against Judea and others while himself made head against the Persians But this Holofernes perishing being over witted by Judith Judith ●1 ch 2. c. Nabochodonozor was vanquished by Darius and finally being shut up in Babylon was betrayed by Zopuras And Darius reigned overall Herodiat B. 1. And in the second year after this was that second of Darius at what time the building of the Temple went forward Ez. 6. After this lived Judith some 70 years or more into the reign of Darius Nothus during all which time none made the children of Israel afraid nor of a long time after Judith 16. 25. In the days of Artaxerxes Ochus there was one Bagoses who was Lievetenant to the King of Persia in these parts who came to Jerusalem and threatned somwhat the reason was because of Jonathan the H. Priest who had ●lain his brother Manasseh for that Manasseh had 〈◊〉 a daughter of Sanballar of Sa●aria and contended with him for the Priesthood Jos. Ant. Neh. 13. 28. But when Alexander gat the Empyre Sanballat got the start of the Jews and having opportunity by the foretop struck in with the Conquerour and incensed him against them But as Alexander lay before Gaza Sanballat dyed before the walls thereof and missed of his will to see his ends upon the Jews accomplished Howbeit Alexander having mastered Gaza came against Jerusalem in great wrath But Jaddus being H. Priest at that time came out of the City in his Priestly robes to meet him whom Alexander no sooner saw but his wrath turned all to reverence For having afore dreamt of just such a person as soon as he saw him he remembred his dream and doing him great honour left also noble marks of his curtesie behind him at Jerusalem Jos. Ant. But Alexand●r being dead Ptolomeus Lagus Lord of Aegypt was not so civil For he coming upon the City upon the Sabbath day while they made no defence took his advantage of their superstition and surprized the City and made the Citizens his captives and carryed away many prisoners of them into Aegypt Jos. Ant. Yet the next year Antigonus got away this City from Ptolomy again And now was a very bad time with the Jews for Palestine lying 〈◊〉 the mid way between Syria and Aegypt it was an apt prey unto whom soever was Conquerour And thus somtimes the Egyptians were their Lords and otherwhiles the Syria●s but both ways the Jews were slaves Jos. Ant. Dan. 5. 6. c. Until in the end Ptolomeus having utterly routed Antigonus enjoyed whole Palestine in peace After him Ptol. Philadelphus held it who did the Jews much honour and caused the famous translation of the old Testament into the Greek tongue by the Septuagint J●s Ant. 〈◊〉 Chr●● After Philadelphus held Pt.

For 〈◊〉 having oppressed them they m●te aptly complyed with 〈◊〉 Dan. 1. 14. But the son of this Antiochees called Ephiphanes was a bloudy persecuter who poltuted the Sanctuary of the most High and took away the dayly
the escaped remnant to Ctesiphon but here 〈◊〉 Nations joyned together against them drove them away to the strong holds of Nearda and Nisibis Jos. Ant. B. 18. ch 12. After this Jerusalem began to feel woo too For in the days of C●manus the Govenour by means of a quarrel with the Centinel at the Temple gate were 20000 men slain at the Passeover time Next in the time of Foelix the Govenour were many quarrels and slaughters both at Jerusalem and Cesarea Jos. Ant B. 20. ch 4. ch 6. 7. 8. But as the 40 years grew nearer up finally came Gessius Florus in the reign of Nero to be Govenour of Jerusalem who as if he had made it his business to pick quarrels with them gave himself wholy to bloud and rapine In the 21th of Nero and 6●th of Christ were many thousand Jews slain by this mans meanes at Cesarea And a while after the persecution following to Jerusalem there those noble Iews who had the honour of Roman Knighthood yet could not escape the lash of Florus but by publique whipping and murder many perished But these were but beginning of sorows Jos. of the warrs ch 13. 14. 15. Hence presently the wars broke out And as if all Nations had hated the Iews and were glad of the oppertunity in all places presently they began to slaughter them at Cesarea the Syriaus slew 20000. Iews and at Scythopol●● the inhabitants slew 13000. more of them at As●a●on they slew 10000 at Ptol●mais 20000 at Tyrus a great many and so at Gadara● at Alexandria the old grudge revived and the Greeks and Egyptians there slew 50000. Cestius Gallus burnt and spoyled the City Zo●●lon 〈◊〉 Gallus slew 2000 in Asamon and C●sti●s 8000. more in Ioppa at Damascus were slain 10000 〈◊〉 Govenour of Askelon slew in barrle 10000 at one time and 8000 at another Ios. 〈…〉 B 2 ch 16 17 18 c. B. 3 ch ● After this came Vespotian into Gallile and wasted the Countrie took Gadara and killed without mercy Titus his son slew 15000 Iews at 〈…〉 took 〈◊〉 and slew there 40000 men a● Joppa perished by shipwrack and slaughter 4200 at Tarich●a upon the lake were slain and taken captives above 13000. men and at 〈◊〉 perished 9000 more and at Gis●ala 5000. were ●●ain and taken captives In the 13th year of Nero Gadir● was taken a second time and 15000. Iews were slain and taken captives there Next at 〈…〉 perished 10000. and 1000 captives And lastly at 〈◊〉 and thereabout followed great slaughters J●s of the war B. 3. ch 4. 6. 11. 12. 1● 16. c B. 4 ch 1. 3 4 5 6. But now a while some intermission happening unto these slaughters by meanes of 〈…〉 absence yet great slaughters and Opression reigned at Jerusalem by reason of seditious Tyrants arising from among themselves with these joyned the Idumeans who slew great numbers of the Iewish Nobility Jos. of th●●ar B. 4. ch 5. 6. 7. B 5. 1. 7. B. 6. ● But in the first of Vespatian the Emperour and 70th o● Christ the Iews from all parts of the World were assembled at the feast of the Passeover at Jerusalem at what time Titus came with his armie and shut them in with a close seidge Now after various success and much slaughter on both sides on the 7th of May the Romans brok down the outward wall and took the new City on the 12th of May he took the second wall but lost it again but on the 15 he took it and kept it and with it gained all the lower City After this followed grievious Famine in the higher City 600000 men were publiquely burryed in the City besides what in private A bushel of corn was sold for 600 crowns and the dung of Oxen was an excellent dish in those days But during these afflictions on the 5th of July the Romans took the Fort Antonia Then began the women to eat their own children for hunger And the men dropt down dead as they walked in the streets On the 8th of August the Temple was taken and fired And then was all the lower City burnt into ashes And lastly on the 7th of September was also the higher Citie taken and burnt Jos. of the war B. 6 B. 7. during this siedge were 1100000. slain and in this War were taken 97000 captives besides many millions that perished in silence Thus ended this famous City in the 38 year after Christs death And thus perished those cursed Jews as they had wished saying his his bloud be on us and on our children Ten years after this some Forts still held out But in the year 72. and 40. ended since Christs murder was Massada taken and all Judea left desolate Yet after this beginning to people again they rebelled in the reign of Hadrian but were therefore utterly driven the Countery and Ierusalem was rebuilt upon Mount Ca●vary and called Aelia but no Iews might come there anymore FINIS In the Table of Kings fol. 76. the first Collum●e is false printed And must thus be corrected Jehoram and Ahoziah should begin the Collumne Athalia and 〈◊〉 should follow Ahaziah And 〈◊〉 should begin the third Columne Now it does appear that S. Paul wrote the 2d Epist to the 〈◊〉 in Anno 55 and this trance was 14 year● before It was certainly therefore in Anno 40. And so by consequence the martyrdom of this James was in the same year some time before Some are of opinion this City was first called Salem or Solyma and that it had the name in the dayes of Abraham But it seems a mistake in the Ancients For ●●st it was called Jebus in the dayes of Oth●●l after Joshua was dead Jud. 19. 10. and this was a long time after the dayes of Abraham And therefore either it had been called Salem for some time only by way of interruption to the name of Jebus or else was never so called For Jebus the father of the Jebusites was some hundreds of years elder than Abraham But then how should this interruption come or indeed how could the Priest of the most high God by any reasonable possibility at any time so interrupt and thrust in as to found a City of his own amidst this prophane people For either he was descended of some of the Canaani●ish Tribes or from some other If from the Canaanites How came he to be in such a Sacred place as Priest of the most high God Or was there possibly some sacred Person amidst that most cursed People Yet why so eminently was he called Priest of the most high as if none but He or at lest so as He And that too while Shem the son o● Noah was yet living of whom Noah said Blessed be the Lord God of Shem and let Canaan be his servant And God perswade Japhet that he may dwell in the tents of Shem Was this Melchizedeck a greater man than Shem Gen 9. 26 27 Or was he Sh●m himself If so How came be to seat there amongst the Canaan●●● or at least How came to be a Priest there where he had no People o● but few to dwell within his Tents Or how came he to pitch his Tents there where those who would be perswaded to dwell in them could not aptly be admitted to come at him No therefore though with submission to our Elders and under favour of their correction we speak it this was not that Salem where Melchizedeck was Prince There was another Salem in the land of Canaan But rather this man was Melchisalem as he was Melchizedeck King of Peace 〈◊〉 he was King of righteousness or a Prince Peaceable rather than Prince of any City called Peace and seems indeed to have been that very Shem the son of Noah who at eldest of his own Tribe was the great Priest of Priests under God over all those who descended from his own Loin● as this Abraham did
