of the Iews was at an end about 30. yeeres before Christs incarnation Herode the stranger was successor to this Aristobulus in the kingdom and priesthood of the Iewes In the third yeere of the 186. Olympiade and in the age of the world 3937. yeeres then in the 32. yeere of Herod was our Sauiour borne The fourth obseruation Herod the great had many children Aristobulus Alexander Antipater Antipas Philippus and Archelaus Of which Aristobulus and Alexander were his children by his beloued wife Mariamne which Mariamne he put to death causing his children Alexander and Aristobulus to be strangled in Samaria Archelaus Herodes called Antipas Antipater and Philip yet liued amongst whom the kingdome was diuided Herodes the Great designed his sonne Archelaus to be king by his last will and testament but the Emperour Augustus would not confirme Herodes will and so hee was not king at the first yet Augustus was content that he should be Tetrarke and vpon hope of his good regiment to be king afterward This Archelaus saith Rhegino did reigne in Iudea when our Sauiour was brought out of Egypt for feare of which king he returned into Nazareth a towne in Galile where hee abode till his baptisme This was done in the seuenth yere of Christ and in the 15. yeere of his birth Archelaus being accused of treason before Augustus was banished out of Iewrie the kingdome was diuided among his 4. brethren Herod Antipater Lysanias and Philip. Yet this Antipater after Carion was slaine long before The first obseruation Whether Antipater was slaine as writeth Carion or liuing stil with Philip and the rest as saith Eusebius certaine it is that foure only are mentioned in the holy scripture to wit Archelaus who raigned in Iurie after Herod the great Antipas whom S. Luke calleth Herod who was Tetrarke of Galilie Philip who was Tetrarke of Iturea and Trachonitis Lysanias who was the Tetrark of Abilene Pilate being then president in Iewry which Lysanias after Eusebius was one of the brethren albeit other writers affirme no such thing CHAP. III. Of the 2300. daies Daniel had a vision of great persecution that shoulde come vnto the church that the daily sacrifice should cease and Gods trueth be troden vnder foote And that the sinnes of the Iewes were the cause of such horrible afflictions Yet for the solace of Gods children whom he neuer forsaketh finally the time of the desolation is appointed and pronounced in these obscure words Vnto the euening and morning two thousand and three hundreth then shall the sanctuarie be cleansed Sundrie as S. Hierome witnesseth trouble themselues miserably about the exposition of this place Some for 2300 read 2200 least sixe yeares and three monethes abound Other some vnderstand the place of Antichrist and that this shalbe reallie complete in him which was spoken typically of Antiochus And this childish imagination doe our late Iesuites and other papistes imitate whose fantasticall interpretation was confuted by S. Hierome before they were borne But the meaning is plaine and easie that is vntill so many naturall daies be past which in all make sixe yeares three monethes and an halfe For so long was the temple prophaned vnder the wicked king Antiochus And that this is the true sence of the place I prooue by two reasons First because that vnto the morning and to the euening cannot possibly be vnderstood of either yeares or monethes and yet can the same be truely and simply verified in so many natural daies Secondly because the prophet of God doth expound the rest of the vision euen of the kinges of Syria And my reasons are confirmed by S. Hieromes testimonie whose expresse words are these Vespere autem manè successionē diei noctísque significat The euening and the morning doth signifie the succession of the day and the night And in the very same place hee prooueth by Iosephus and the bookes of the Machabees that the setting vp of Iupiters Image in the Temple and the time of the desolation wrought by Antiochus is correspondent to the 2300. daies CHAP.

V. Of the priests of the Iewes from king Alexander vnto the Machabees The names of y e priests Onias Priscus A. M. 3643 the time that they liued A. M. 3805 25 yeares Simon Priscus A.

M. 3643 the time that they liued A. M. 3805 7 yeares This Menelaus was a very wicked priest whom Antiochus put to death at Berytus Antiochus moreouer inhibited Onias his sonne to succeed him and appointed Alcimus aliâs Iacimus the high priest which Alcimus was of the race and petigree of Aaron but not of the same familie Onias therefore sonne to Menelaus went into Egypt and insinuating himselfe into the amitie of Ptolomee Philometor and Cleopa●ra his wife perswaded them to build a temple in Heliopolis like to that of Hierusalem and to make him priest in the same place Iacimus after he had been high priest three yeares died leauing no successor behinde him and so the citie of Hierusalem was seuen whole yeares togither without a priest Afterward the gouernment of the Iewes was committed to the familie of the Assamoneans and then they rebelled against the Macedonians and made Ionathan the high priest These points and specially the case of Iacimus or Alcimus ought diligently to be marked against the mangled and fondly commended popish succession whereof by the power of God more shalbe said hereafter From about this time vntill Herod the great Iudas Machabeus and others of his race had the gouernment and priesthood among them From Herode vntill Christ our redeemer were yeares 32. plus minus During which time priests were not made of the line of the Assamoneans
This state was by the Machabees in time of Antiochus and his successors the kings of Syria vntill Aristobulus the first king among the Iewes after their captiuitie They were gouerned thirdly by kings being partly of their owne bloud and partly strangers This state continued from Aristobulus vntil king Agrippa albeit the birth of our sauiour befell in the 32. yeare of king Herod which quadruple variety I will set down in foure seuerall sections for perspicuitie sake The first Section of the gouernours of the Iewes from the captiuitie to the Machabees The names of the gouernors or rulers of the Iewes Zorobabel Anno mun 3425 the time of their rule Anno mun 3610 67 yeeres Rhesa Miseolana aliàs Mensonla Anno mun 3425 the time of their rule Anno mun 3610 66 Ioanna ben Resa Anno mun 3425 the time of their rule Anno mun 3610 52 Iudas Hircanus the first Anno mun 3425 the time of their rule Anno mun 3610 30 yeeres Note here that these foure gouernours were before the monarchy of Alexander the great whereof Zorobabel was he that conducted the Iewes from the captiuitie and encouraged them to build the temple These other eleuen were after Alexander The names of the gouernours or ru●ers of the Iews after King Alex●nder Ioseph the first An. mundi 3641 The time of their gouernment An. mundi 3788 7 yeeres Abner Semei An. mundi 3641 The time of their gouernment An. mundi 3788 11 Eli Matathia An. mundi 3641 The time of their gouernment An. mundi 3788 12 Asar Mahat An. mundi 3641 The time of their gouernment An. mundi 3788 9 yeres Nagid Artaxat An. mundi 3641 The time of their gouernment An. mundi 3788 10 Haggai Eli An. mundi 3641 The time of their gouernment An. mundi 3788 8 Maslot Nahum An. mundi 3641 The time of their gouernment An. mundi 3788 7 yeeres Amos Syrach An. mundi 3641 The time of their gouernment An. mundi 3788 13 Matathia Siloah An. mundi 3641 The time of their gouernment An. mundi 3788 10 Ioseph the second An. mundi 3641 The time of their gouernment An. mundi 3788 60 yeeres Ianna Hircanus the second An. mundi 3641 The time of their gouernment An. mundi 3788 16 yeeres This Hircanus was the last prince of the Iewes that descended of the blood royall and posteritie of king Dauid The catalogue of the priests who executed priestly function amongest the Iewes after the captiuitie shall be set downe in the chapter following The second Section of the Machabees The names of the Machabees Iudas Machabeus Anno mun 3805 the time of their rule Anno mun 3837 6 yeeres Ionathas Anno mun 3805 the time of their rule Anno mun 3837 18 Simon brother to Iudas Anno mun 3805 the time of their rule Anno mun 3837 8 yeeres Io.

Olympiade and in the 3660. yeare of the age of the world Heere beginneth the authour of the first booke of the Machabees his supputation calling the kingdome of Syria the kingdome of the Greeks which must be well remembred or else many things will remaine both confuse and obscure The Empire of king Alexander was deuided as is already said into foure parts according to the prophesie of Daniel Ptolomeus had Egypt Antigonus Asia Seleucus Syria and Philippus Arideus had Macedonia and Grecia which is the cause that Chronographers begin these kingdomes in the first yeere of the 114. Olympiade immediatly after the death of Alexander Yet the trueth is that Antigonus and Seleucus began not so soone to raigne For mortal warres amongst the gouernours continued 12 or 13. yeares and then they began to beare rule indeede not before The third obseruation Hircanus had three sons Aristobulus Antigonus and Alexander Aristobulus would needes be called and crowned king and slew his brother Antigonus lest he shuld get the kingdome from him Alexander had two sonnes Hircanus and Aristobulus this Aristob was brother to Mariamne who was married to K.
