know him that is true The word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or Tradition is thirteen times found in our Testament but 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or Cabala his Correlative comes but twice 1 Tim. 4. 9. 1. 15. This is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 a faithful and firm saying 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 omni Cabala seu acceptatione dignus As if he should say If there be any Cabalistical Doctrine worthy undoubtedly to be received it is this That Christ Jesus came into the World c. This is our Christian Gabala then that the Messias is already come and that he is a Spiritual King not such a Temporal one as they would have him for he refused to be made such a King And that the Temporal Blessings and Promises were made to allure and lead them as Children unto the Spiritual VI. That the Kingdom descended to Salathiel of Jeconias's Posterity upon Jeconias's Repentance But St. Luke hath taught us that Salathiel was the natural Son of Neri not of Jeconias but yet said to be his Son in that he was his Successor in the Kingdom And Jeremy tells us that Solomon's Heir failed in Jeconias's dying without Children by which means the Kingdom was devolved on Nathan Solomon's Brother These six Errors avoided as Rocks of Shipwrack to the Reader and his Traditions distinguished from the Commandments the Reader may make with me this sixfold good use of Maymon 1. His Hebraisms which I have noted in the Margent 2. The Pirke Aboth 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 The Capital Apothegms and the Wise Sentences of the Rabbies of Israel which are marked out in the Margent with an Hand thus ☞ 3. Talmudical Sentences and Pharases expounding the New Testament in some places 4. Places of Scripture otherwise expounded than by Munster Tremellius Junius 5. The Judicial Laws and Punishments inflicted by the Sanhedrin or Consistory for every particular Sin 6. Rabbinical common Places Now of these six in order The two first whereof being either written or pointed out by the Finger in the Margent I shall not need particularly to rank them together in order because of prolixity it is enough for them digito monstrari dicier haec sunt ☞ In the third place we are to speak of Talmudical Sentences It is observed of the Learned that there be five several Dialects or Proprieties of Speech in the New Testament 1. The Common or Attick Greek 2. The Septuagint Greek 3. The Apostolick Greek 4. The Hebraisms noted by Beza first then by Drusius in his Lib. Praeter And yet as many more may be noted 5. The Talmudical Phrases of which I am now to shew those that I have noted out of Maymon's first Book First Of fealing to Life or to Death As Christ himself was sealed Him hath God the Father sealed 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 So must Christians be Who also hath sealed us internally for it follows and given us the earnest of his Spirit in our hearts And eternally Rev. 7. 4. The number of them that were sealed 144000 of all the Tribes of the Children of Israel of each Tribe twelve thousand So v. 3. Hurt not the Earth till we have sealed the Servants of our God in their Foreheads To these and such-like places Maymon gives light thus Even as they do examine and poise the Righteousness of Man and his Iniquities in the day of his Death so yearly do they counterpoise the Iniquities of every particular Man that comes into the World with his Righteousness on the Holy Day which is New-years day He that is found righteous is fealed unto Life and whosoever is found wicked is sealed unto Death but those that he Neuters between both them they suspend until the day of Expiation if they repent they are sealed up to Life but if not they are sealed up to Death Out of which words and laudable custom of the Jews note with me a double sealing to Life or to Death proportionable to the double Person viz. the Righteous or the Wicked 2. Observe the two times of this sealing in the day of a Man's death and on New-Years Day i. e. on the first day September during one's Life Kimchy on the 9th of Ezek. v. 4. on these words Mark a Mark on the Foreheads of those Men that sigh comments thus Make a Sign or Writing he commands that they mark with Ink on their Foreheads the Men that sigh and cry for a Sign that the Destroyer shall not come near unto them And this Sentence is like the Sentence of the Blood of the Passover in Egypt which was for a Sign or Mark only this of Ezekiel was in vision of Prophesy And our Rabbies of blessed memory have expounded the word Tau which signifies a Mark to be the letter called Tau The holy blessed One commanded Gabriel to write upon the Forehead of the Righteous a Mark or Letter Tau made with Ink but on the Forehead of the Wicked a Mark or Tau of Blood Now why did he make a diverse Mark Rab. maketh answer Tau tichieh and Tau tamuth i. e. the one Mark or Tau stands for Tichieh thou shalt live and the other Mark or Tau stands for Tamuth thou shalt die But Rabby Samuel saith Tau stands for Tamath perfect is the Righteousness of the Fathers for those Men were the Righteous of Jerusalem which sighed and cried for the Abominations thereof Tuus far Kimchy Now that the full lustre of the place may be had we will parallel these four places together St. John Ezekiel Kimchy and Maymon St. John Rev. 7. 3. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Ezek. 9. 4. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Kimchy on Ezek. cap. 9. v. 4. this Mark or Tau was 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 1 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 2 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the Mark 1 of Ink. 2 of Blood 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 1 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 2 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the Tau or Mark 1 of Life 2 of Death Maymon Whosoever was found 1 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Righteous 2 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Wicked was 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 1 sealed to Life 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 2 sealed to death The marking then that Ezekiel and Kimchy speak of is the sealing that St. John and Maymon speak of and those that sigh and cry for the Abominations of Jerusalem are those whom St. John calls the Servants of our God and Maymon names them the Righteous and both Maymon and St. John tells us that the true Marks Signs and Seals of a Christian be Repentance and Righteousness which Marks they that have them are sealed and appointed unto Life And that Impenitency and want of Righteousness be the Marks of the Wicked designing them to Death Kimchy on the 133 Psalm saith That on the Forehead of the Priest Aaron and his Successors between the Eye-brows was made a Mark when he was anointed High Priest 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 like the Greek κ or χ which Letter or Mark χ

your return to London may be hastned if it may stand with your own conveniency for if you had not been so wholly taken up with Printing and Preaching truly my Lord I would have been bold to have taken your advice in some Points of Learning And now you are in the Country I suppose you are at best leasure but you want your Library yet I doubt not the good Lady with whom you are God reward and bless her for being such a Nursing-Mother hath many good English Books and I suppose amongst others you may find Bishop Andrews's Sermons I pray peruse that Sermon at Easter upon this Text If any one will be contentious we have no such custom and then let me know whether any Man did ever speak more for Traditions than he doth there for Customs both which words are the same in effect Then how many things there are in the old Law whereof we have no Scripture but only Tradition Then I pray let me have your Opinion of Torniellus I have read him over though I have forgotten much yet I remember he shows some defects And I pray let me know when the Kingdoms of Judah and Israel were divided upon the death of Solomon whether the Power of the High Priest were acknowledged in both Kingdoms alike until Israel fell to Idolatry I will trouble your Grace no further at this time if you please to return any answer I pray let it be left at the House where you were and once within a fortnight my Servant shall call there So desiring that we may remember each other in our Prayers I commit you to God's protection and rest Your most humble Servant Godfrey Goodman Chelsy July 8. 1650.

A Letter from Dr. Meric Casaubon to the most Reverend James Usher Arch-bishop of Armagh at Lincolns-Inn May it please your Grace I Was with Mr. Selden after I had been with your Grace whom upon some intimation of my present Condition and Necessities I found so noble as that he did not only presently furnish me with a very considerable Sum but was so free and forward in his Expressions as that I could not find in my heart to tell him much somewhat I did of my purpose of selling lest it might sound as a further pressing upon him of whom I had already received so much Neither indeed will I now sell so much as I intended for I did not think besides what I have in the Country to keep any at all that would yield any Mony Now I shall and among them those Manuscripts I spoke of to your Grace and Jerom's Epistles particularly the rather because I make use of it in my de Cultu Dei the first part whereof your Grace hath seen which I think will shortly be printed As for my Father's Papers I do seriously desire to dispose of them some way if I can to my best advantage but with a respect to their preservation and safety Which I think would be if some Library either here or beyond the Seas had them I pray good my Lord help me in it if you can and when you have an opportunity conser with Mr. Selden about it I will shortly within these few weeks God willing send a Note to your Grace of what I have that is considerable and will part with Not but that I had much rather keep them had I any hopes at all ever to be accommodated with Books and Leasure to fit them for publick use my self But that I have no hopes of and certainly so disposed of as I would have them in my life time they will be safer than in my keeping in that condition I am It would be a great ease to my mind to see that well done for I have always reckoned of them as of my Life and if any mischance should come to them whilst they are in my keeping and indeed they have been in danger more than once since this my tumbling condition I should never have any comfort of my Life I have sent your Grace the Jerome that you may see it and if you desire to keep it by you I shall humbly crave a Note of it under your Grace's hand So I humbly take my leave Your Grace's in all humble Duty Mer.
