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

towards Jericho Joshuah commanded them also to pitch twelve Stones in the middle of Jordan where the Priests feet stood to remain there for a memorial for ever The Lord of Hosts having thus brought the children of Israel out of Egypt through the Red Sea and led them 40 years together through several Wildernesses and now set them on the other side of Jordan we shall leave them there and refer our Reader to the holy Bible for an Historical Relation of their several exploits in the Wars with the Nations that possessed the Land how they overcame them all conquered their strong Citties possessed themselves of the whole land and rooted out all their enemies How this land was afterwards devided among the twelve Tribes of Israel by Joshuah is marked in this Mapp with single pricks and the Capital name that is writ within them is the name of the Tribe that possessed so much of the land as is encompassed with those pricks The Citties of Refuge appointed Josh. 20. 7 8 are marked with a cross upon the Tower as you may see in the Mapp it self on your left hand just over the picture of both sides the Shekel A Discourse upon the Geographical Description of the Land of CANAAN Possest by the Israelites and travelled through by our Saviour Jesus Christ and his Apostles THe fullness of Time being come wherein God according to his eternal decree had ordained to send his Son into the World in humane shape and nature for the redemption of mankind the Angel Gabriel came and saluted Mary a Virgin at Nazereth at fig. 1. it the Mapp with a message from the Lord Luk 1. 28. telling her that the Holy Ghost should come upon her and the power of the most High should overshadow her and she should bring forth a child and call his name JESUS which accordingly came to pass when Augustus Caesar was Emperour of all the World and Herod the Terrarch was King of Jewry and Cyrenius Governour of Syria which was in the year of the World according to Mr John Butler in his Christologia 4000. then came Mary with her betrothed Husband Joseph to Bethlehem at fig. 2. a Citty of David for they were both of the Lineage of David to be Taxed according to the Decree of Caesar. And because there was no room in the Inn they were fain to make shift with a Stable where she fell in Labour and brought forth her first born Son wrapped him in swadling cloaths and laid him in a Manger The Angels soon carryed this joyfull news to Shepherds that were then keeping their Sheep and gave them signes how they should find the Child who straight way left their flock came to Bethlehem and found him out and publisht abroad the tydings that was brought them of the Angels Luk. 2. This Child was circumcised at eight daies old and his name called JESUS And when he was 33 daies old he was brought to the Temple at Jerusalem at fig. 3. by his Parents and presented to the Lord according to the custom of the Jews whither also being directed by the Spirit came Simeon a just man and one that feared God who took the child Jesus in his arms and praised God c. Whi●e they were yet in Bethlehem came wise men having seen his Star out of the East to worship him And the fame hereof coming to Herods ears caused him to assemble all the chief Priests and Scribes to learn of them the place of his birth who informed him it was to be in Bethlehem Wherefore he commanded the wise men to seek the Child with all diligence and bring him word that he might come and worship When these wise men departed from the King the Star went before them till it came and stood over the place where the Child was who when they had found they worshipped and presented with Gold Incense and Myrhe But they were warned in a dream not to return to Herod but to return to their own Countrey some other way Also Joseph was warned in a dream that he should take Mary and the Child and fly into Egypt Herod seeing himself mocked by the wise men gave strickt command to kill all the male children of two years old and under in Bethlehem and the coasts about it that the Prophesie might be ful●illed Jer. 31. 15. Herod being dead Joseph was warned of God in ●eam to return again with the child but hearing that Archelaus his son reigned in fudea he was afraid yet turned aside into Galilee to the Citty Nazareth Mat. 2. 23. Jesus being twelve years old came upto Jerusalem with his Parents to the Feast of the Passeover and when the dayes were accomplisht his Parents went home thinking he had been in the company but he staid behind disputing with the Doctors in the Temple yet when they came back to seek him he went home with them In the 15 year of the Emperour Tiberius when Pontius Pilate was President of Judea Jesus came from Nazareth to Jordan not far from the Dead Sea viz. to Bethabane where he was baptized of John the Baptist at which time the Holy Ghost descended upon him like a Dove and a voice was heard saying This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased Mat. 3. 17. From hence Jesus was led aside into the Wilderness where he fasted 40 dies and 40 nights and was tempted of the Devil but the resisted and the Devil left him Then Jesus went again into Galilee whither followed him Andrew Peter and Philip and dwelt at Nazareth Luk. 4. 16. where he taught in the Synagogue Coming from thence he went to Cana where at a marriage he turned water into wine Joh. 2. From thence he went to Capernaum with his ●other his Brother and Disciples yet staid not long there but went to Jerusalem because the Feast of Passeover was nigh The first year of his Ministery A o. 30. Jesus coming to Jerusalem to the Passeover shews his Divine authority in whipping the Buyers and Sellers out of the Temple and overthrowing their Tables Joh. 2· 15. By these and other signes many believe in him Niced●mus a Ruler of the Jews came by night to him to be instructed of him Joh. 3. 1. From hence Jesus went into the land of Judea and tarryed there same time But John was baptizing at Enon by Salim and was shortly after imprisoned which when Jesus heard he returned again into Galilee through Samaria and came to a Citty called Sychar neer Jacobs Well where sitting to rest himself there came a woman of Samaria while his Disciples were gon into the Citty to buy meat to fetch water with whom Jesus discoursing and telling her of her own affairs she takes him for a Prophet and runs into the Citty telling the Cittizens what she had heard and seen whereupon they come out to him and hearing of his words many of them beleeve in him Joh. 4. 5. c. Having tarryed there two dayes he goes into Galilee where the

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.

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. 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
