A calling had at home and not vnsubscribed vnto by forraine Churches Before thine eyes I haue heere lighted a candle describing new Ierushalem the praise of the whole earth This is not done so particularly as might be wished but as the time could affoorde Moses from mount Neboes toppe termed Pisgah he seeth Canaan and Israels distinct lotts but Ioshuah the diuident of these mansions hee sawe it more thorowly If that I haue done may occasion any other to do better my lot is good Meane time accept of this Description of Ierushalem as of a light directing to a Description of Babel that if God thinke good I may heereafter publish Which if some things heere omitted may there be fruitfully obserued Southwark by London 1601 A DESCRIPTION of new Jerushalem EZEK last chap. last verse and last clause And the Name of that Citie from a Day shal be Iehouah-shammah TO the end this vpshot of Ezekiels Prophecye may be the cleerer too our senses Let vs summarily consider the whole bodie of this Priest-like Prophecie In this visionarie volume we may obserue two sorts of Visions the first generall the second speciall That is generall it is that one stately sight which the Prophet hath in the first chap. containing a treasurie of comfort to the whole Catholike bodie of Israel seeing therin the Church may behold how Iehouah Aelohim the great God is mounted vpon the stately Chariot of the world hauing the raynes in his hand gouerning by the mightie outgoings and returnings of his eternall spirit wherby he also seeth cleerely into all things Come heauen and earth together run all vpon wheeles not Fortune but the mightie Iehouah he turneth all the frame of Nature vnto his owne most worthie glorie and the common vtilitie of his beleeuing Israel In the other visions we more specially obserue first the Prophets calling secondly a particular discouerie of the Iewish typicall matters In his calling contained in the second and third chap we cleerely may see how togither with his Nomination vnto this stately kind of ministerie the prouident God giueth vnto him a Rowle of wisdome to eate Because hee sendeth no prophet in mercy to his church whome first he enricheth not with the hid treasure of his burning spirit for consuming vp the spirituall oppositions that stand as hinderances in the way of his kingdoms passage In these visions that concerne the bodie of the Iews more particularly we may consider first Iehouah casting them out for their sinnes specially for filling the Temple with pictured Beasts beastlie affections in them who should haue bin themselues a Temple for the holy ghost auerting and turning their backs vpon the Lord for the which Iehouah leaues the Temple drawing his glorie to the Mountaine forsaking them and their City that so the Chaldeans with vnbridled crueltie might ouerturne all destroy a multitude and carry a remnant into captiuity This their eiection laid downe in sundry visions in the second place is vttered God his free acception of this cast-away people And this is don first by destroying his peoples aduersaries secondly by powring a bounteous blessing vpon this people first by revniting Iudah and Israel the two and ten tribes into one for the glorious ouerthrow of Gog and Magog secondly by measuring vnto his people Canaan and Ierusalem for new That I say for new it is because all in this restauration is new For in respect of the letter fully when were the ten Trybes who schismed in Rehoboams time and in Hosheahs time were transported by Assur when were they revnited to Iudah and Beniamin When did these 12. Trybes of Israel make such hauock of Gog and Magogs huge armie When was Canaan so remeasured and these new lots diuers vnto Iehoshuahs when were the Trybes replanted in them Other things touching the Citie and Temple might come into a Quaere but that is said vnto the learned is sufficient for manifesting that the fulnesse and spirit of this prophecie was to be expected of a new Israel comming out of a new Babylon vnto a new Canaan endowed with a new Citie and Temple Insomuch as this New-church might well say with the Apostle “ 2. Cor. 5.17 Old thinges are passed away behold all thinges are become new As Ezekiel saw them in the spirit so must we consider them in the spirit For as a certaine Auncient well saith of Moses fed in the mount c. * Macarius in homil 12. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 What soeuer was done or fell out it was a figure and as th'apostle speaketh * Heb. 10.1 a shadow of good thinges to come Now to the Text. And the Name of that Citie c. What Citie speaketh he of The whole hystorie before considered we easily vnderstand of what Citie he treats according to the letter and open narration namely of Ierushalem in Palestina which according to this Prophecie was to be turned into a new Citie and therewith to be inuested with a new name First to this old Citie the shadow then afterwards to the new Citie the soule and substance of the former shadow Ierushalem in Ioshuahs 18. chap. and last verse is termed Iebusi of the vncircumcised Iebusits that inhabited the same and is there seated in the lot of Beniamin specially the superiour part Zion 2. Sam. 5. together with the sacred Temple seated vpon the Mountaines termed by Moses the shoulders of Beniamin But else from Ioshuahs 15. chap. and last verse it should also fall within the lot of Regall Iudah This do some reconcile thus it was Beniamins Per sortem by lot but Iudahs by Beniamins Per concessionem concession or graunt or else it was by reason that God for after purpose had intermingled Beniamin with Iudah Touching the Name Ierushalem diuers are diuersly minded Some haue taken it to arise from the greek word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 signifying or Sacrificer a Priest and the auncient hebrew terme Shalem in English Peace Heb. 7.2 as if it were termed Sacrifice or Sacrificers-peace or Peaceable-sacrifice But such composition should haue been to the Iewes but as a Lynsywoolsy garment or the matching of an Ox and an Asse together or the sowing of their ground with Miscellaine inhibited by the law For what had Hebers people to do with Iauans tongue Or whē did the spirit of prophecy abhor Hebers language the Dialects following out of it that so he should to the old Synagogue adde the Grecians language The continuall practise of the old testament doth euer witnes the contrarie Others more rightly deduce the former part of the word also from the Hebrew and hereof be two iudgments Some take it to be compounded of Iireh Gen. 22.14 a terme which Abraham put vpon the mount 1. Chro. 3.1 Moriah whereon the Temple was built and of Shalem the auncient name of this citie Gen. 14. what time Melchi-zedek did inhabite there Which two termes Iireh and Shalem contracted into one do make Ierushalem And
