sheweth Affliction by Egypt before his Seed shall enjoy the Land GEN. XVI Which soon beginneth by Egyptian Hagar that gendreth to Bondage GEN. XVII But the Son of the Freewoman must inherit the Promise Which thing Abram believeth and Circumcision is given him a Seal of his Righteousness by Faith And for the more Assurance † From this that Abram hath a new Name given him when the Command of Circumcision is given him after-times used to give Names to their Children at their Circumcision Luk. i. 59 and ii 21 as Christians do now at Baptism his and Sarai's Names are changed The Trinity in visible Form appears to Abraham GEN. XVIII and determines the time of the Birth of the promised Seed Cham's Derision of his Father's Nakedness shews it self in the filthy Nakedness of his Sons of Sodom GEN. XIX whose Flames of Lust are punisht with Flames of Fire and even their Hell comes down from Heaven Lot is delivered from the Ruin but not from the Corruption of the City God that can bring Good out of Evil brings a Mother of Christ according to the Flesh out of the Incest of Lot viz. Ruth the Moabitess Isaac in his Mother's Womb taken by Abimelech as Christ in Mary's Womb taxed by Cesar. GEN. XX. To this Story of Sarah's being taken and kept and released by the Plagues of a Philistin compare the Case of the Ark in the Land of the Philistins 1 Sam. v. 6 Isaac born In his being born above the Course of Nature Abraham seeth the Day of Christ and rejoyceth GEN. XXI and in token calleth his Son's Name Isaac Laughter At Isaac's Fifth Year Ishmael mocketh Then begin the Four Hundred Years Affliction exactly Isaac and the Ram a true Type of Christ's two Natures the one only Suffering and the other not GEN. XXII yet that that suffer'd not giving Validity and Value to that that suffer'd Sarah dieth the only Woman whose Age is recorded in Scripture Abraham hath not a Foot of Land of his own in Canaan but only a Burial Place GEN. XXIII In the last Chapter you have Tidings of Rebecca before the Death of Sarah that one Sun may be ready to rise before another set Isaac having grieved Three Years for the Loss of his Mother is comforted at last with Rebecca his Wife GEN. XXIV Who of Necessity must be barren that the Seed may be of Promise and not of Nature GEN. XXV This Barrenness of Sarah and Rebecca and others and yet having Children at last was as an Harbinger to provide room for the Belief of Christ's Supernatural Birth See Luke i. 36 Jacob and Esau quarrel before they be born Esau loseth his Interest in God in the sale of his Birthright The Genealogy of Abraham and Ishmael their Age and Death are set down here because there is no more to be said of them Howbeit Abraham lived till Jacob was Fifteen Years old and Ishmael till he was Sixty three At Abraham's Death when Isaac is now just Seventy-five Years old the same Blessing is given to him GEN. XXVI that was given to Abraham when he was Seventy-five At the same Age probably Jacob also getteth it from his Father by taking on him to be Esau GEN. XXVII when he was Jacob. And by this means obtains the Blessing of his Father Which Blessing God seconds giving him the same Promise as he goeth to Haran GEN. XXVIII that he gave Abraham to bring him thence But his unlawful Means of compassing his Father's Blessing God punisheth in the same kind GEN. XXIX So that after Seven Years Service he embraceth Leah instead of Rachel as he had pretended Esau instead of Jacob. He serveth for this a Week in earnest that he will serve Seven Years more for Rachel and at the Weeks end he obtains her In Seven Years hard Affliction he begetteth many Children God taketh Care of Payment of his Wages GEN. XXX Types of what should happen to his Posterity His Riches endanger him both to Laban XXXI who seeth with him the Fruit of his Flock and to Esau XXXII who now seeth the Effect of the Blessing gotten from him XXXIII and the Benefit of the Birthright which he had sold. But Jacob is Israel A Prevailer with God before he meets with Esau and he cannot chuse then but prevail with him Jacob's Remisness in the Discipline of his Family causeth the Rape of Dinah Here Leah's tender Eyes have Cause to weep for her Daughter GEN. XXXIV Till now Jacob had hardly held touch with God in the Performance of his Vow The Lord shall be my God And no wonder if his Children miscarry But at Bethel where his Vow was made GEN. XXXV he purgeth his House from Idols and there he again receives a Blessing and is called an Israelite indeed now without Guile Hos. xii 4 He found him in Bethel and there he spake with us That is at this time at Bethel he calls him Israel in Behalf of his Posterity Who while they should be as his Family is here purged from Iniquity they should be Israel powerful with God Upon the naming of him Israel which should concern all his Tribes his Tribes are reckoned upon the Birth of Benjamin when they be now full Now the Story is to fall only upon Jacob and his Children Esau's Genealogy is reckoned GEN. XXXVI for no more is now to be said of him Eight Kings of Edom before Israel had any answerably Eight Kings of Israel kept the Kingdom of Edom. Joseph sold by Judah to Midianites Medanites and Ishmaelites For which Fact Judah is justly punished in the Death of his Children GEN. XXXVII XXXVIII and his own Shame Seek earnestly in this Story and you shall find Judah to have Children at the most at Twelve Years old if not before Joseph sold into Egypt is near ravishing by his black Mistress His Coat is again shewed to colour the Wickedness of this Woman GEN. XXXIX as his bloody Coat was to colour that of his Brethren As for telling of Dreams he is sold so by interpreting of Dreams he riseth to honour when he seeth and telleth GEN. XL. how Plenty and Famine over Egypt should be caused by Nilus XLI And the Famine he knew came as a just Judgment upon Egypt for keeping his Innocence so long in Prison XLII The same Justice is shewed upon Canaan from whence he was sold. Which makes his Brethren to bow to him for Corn as their Corn-Sheaves did to his in his Dream XLIII His Brother Benjamin who had no Hand in his Sale yet is brought also to crouch to him XLIV to fulfil his Dream of his Mother bowing to him for Benjamin cost her her Life XLV When all things according to the fore signification are fulfilled XLVI Joseph reveals himself to his Brethren and sends for his Father who cometh for Egypt And

xvi 31 from Esay viii 19 20. Upon [i] Luke ix Mount Tabor a place once of Offence Hos. v. 1 the Cloud of Glory that departed at Moses Death is restored and out of that Cloud a Voice proclaimeth him that great Prophet to whom all must hearken Deut. xviii When he had lived Thirty-two Years and an half the time that David reigned in Jerusalem 2 Sam. v. 5 and had preached and opened the Kingdom of Heaven Three Years and Six Months the time that Elias shut Heaven by Prayer Luke iv 25 he is sold by his Disciple Judas as Joseph was by his Brother Judah Gen. xxxvii for Thirty Pieces of Silver the Price of a Servant Exod. xxi 32 Is apprehended among † Gethsemani in Hebrew signifies A Press for Olives to press out the Oil. the Oil-presses under Mount Olivet And from thence begins to tread the Wine-press alone Esa. lxiii 3 He is condemned by the Policy of Rome Num. xxiv 24 Rev. xi 8 Is delivered up to be crucified at the time of Adam's Creation and setting in Eden Is nailed to his Cross at the time of Adam's Fall Dieth at the time of Adam's Censure Is Six and Thirty Hours under Death the length of the first Day of the World to one part of it His Grave is as the Ark with an Angel at either end He riseth the third Day after the Passover and is as the first Fruits of the Dead Liveth Forty Days after on Earth and breatheth on his Disciples the Holy Spirit as he had done upon Adam the Spirit of Life Is taken up visibly as Elias and now offers up our Prayers to God as the Priest did incense after Sacrifice c. These things raptim But a deliberate sad Eye with Leisure might bring all the New Testament or the most both for Words and Sense from the Old And this I ever held the surest way to expound both SECT XIV The Order of the Evangelists THE proper Order of the Evangelists as they should be laid to make an entire continued Story I have laid before you till you come within a Twelvemonth of Christ's Death That last Years Story you will find to be like Moses his last Months Work a Deuteronomy or a Rehearsal of divers things that went before Ingenuity needeth not always to be led by the Hand For the search of the last Year of Christ's Life I have left to your self By this you will conclude what it cost to lay the rest But when you have done the Work it self will pay you for your Pains Among other things as you go have a special Eye to the Thirteenth of John about the Supper there mentioned Which not well marked hath lost Men themselves while they have gone about to find what is not there to be found Great Doctors having ex professo undertaken to write of that Chapter have missed the first Verse and so spoiled all Concluding the Supper there spoken of to be the Passover Supper when the first Verse plainly tells it was before the Passover and two Days as St. Matthew explains The Popish Tenet of Judas his real receiving of Christ had been choaked here had Men but had Eyes and Minds to see and embrace Truth SECTION I. Luke CHAP. I. from the beginning of the Chapter to ver 5. Section 1. Seeing that none of the Evangelists use a Preface but St. Luke his may fitly be a general Preface to them all SECT II. John CHAP. i. from the beginning to ver 15. Sect. 2. The Preface being made the Story is to begin And most properly Christ's Divine Nature is first to be handled SECT III. Luke CHAP. i. from ver 5 to ver 57. Sect. 3. The Order here shews it self SECT IV. Matth. CHAP. i. all the Chapter Sect. 4. The reason of the Order is to be seen by the Texture of the Story Mary upon the Words of the Angel presently conceives with Child She goes to her Cosin Elizabeth to see the Truth of the Angel's Words Thy Cousin Elizabeth hath conceived She stays with her Three Months Luke i. 56 Then returning to Joseph from whom she had been so long absent he perceiveth her great Belly as Gen. xxxviii 24 So that it is plain to see how properly the 18th Vers● of Mat. i. follows in order of time the 56th Verse of Luke i. The ●vangelist lays the Genealogy before that every Reader might be his own Expositor upon those Words of the Angel ver 20. Joseph thou Son of David The last Verse He knew her not c. is all that this Evangelist speaks about the Birth of Christ. This may be as a brief Relation upon which suppose the two next Sections to be as Expositions SECT V. Luke CHAP. i. from ver 57 to the end of the Chapter Sect. 5. When Mary departs to her own House her Cosin Elizabeth hath but one Month to go with Child This makes this Dependance necessary SECT VI. Luke CHAP. ii from the beginning to ver 40. Sect. 6. The Coherence here is apparent of it self SECT VII Mat. CHAP. ii all the Chapter Sect. 7. Observe that Christ was Two Years old when the wise Men come to him ver 16. and your own Eye will shew and justifie the Order What St. Luke saith Ch. ii 39 They returned to Nazareth mean the same time that that of Matthew doth Ch. ii 23 But Luke speaks briefly because he hath no more to say of Christ till at Twelve Years old he bring him from Nazareth to dispute in the Temple SECT VIII Luke CHAP. ii from ver 40 to the end of the Chapter Sect. 8. From Christ's Return from Egypt to Nazareth till he was Twelve Years old the Gospel mentioneth nothing of him This makes the Dependance plain SECT IX Mat. iii. all Mark i. from the beginning to ver 12. Luke iii. from the beginning to ver 23. Only the 18 19 and 20. Verses about John's Imprisonment are to be reserved to another place Sect. 9. Compare the three Evangelists together One will help to explain another You see the Gospel it self doth inforce this Order by relating nothing since Christ's Twelfth Year old till his Baptism when he was Nine and Twenty complete or Thirty current All the time of his Youth till now Christ was a Carpenter But did now and then some Miracles privately in the House for enlarging their Commons when they were short He is now Baptized in Tisri SECT X. Luke iii. from v. 23 to the end of the Chapter Sect. 10. How divinely S. Luke placeth this Genealogy at Christ's Baptism is to be seen by looking on the Promise Gen. iii. 15 Upon which this and that which follows in the next Chapter is a Glorious Exposition The Seed of the Woman shall break the Head of the Serpent by the Power of the Gospel Which Gospel when Christ beginneth to preach as from his Baptism he doth the Evangelist shews thro' Seventy-five Descents even from Adam that he was that Seed promised to
