from the wisedome of God which tooke order to lay downe the liues of the fathers in so short Arithmatique and would thereby haue his wisedome wonderfull to those which should come after which had been to small purpose if Henoch had left a booke of his preaching But the Grecians thus being answered it followeth that Henochs prophecie was against the wordes of the wicked and against the contempt of religion which wicked men shewed in not beleeuing the preaching of the flood Saint Iude in his Epistle from the circumstances of the men and manners of the People to whom Henoch preached gathered what might be the summe of Henochs preaching in this sort Behold the Lord commeth how as at the giuing of the Law With thousands of his Angels to giue iudgment against all men and to rebuke all the vngodly among them of all their wicked deeds which they haue vngodly committed and of all their cruell speakings which wicked sinners haue spoken against him Vpon which words the Grecians not knowing the course of the Hebrewes in their fained speeches say that Henoch left a booke of his preaching behind him Now compare him with Christ Henoch Was a Prophet for hee prophecied of the destruction of the World by the Flood Walked with God His dayes were as the dayes of the Sunne Was taken vp being the seuenth from Adam Christ Was a Prophet prophecied of the destruction of the world did the will of his father Is the bright Sonne of Iustice whose dayes in the Psalmes are likoned to the dayes of the Sun In the Scriptures is the seuenth that ascended To weete 1.

CHRIST That is 3. in the Old Testament New Testament and the Lord was the seuenth Methushelah borne when Henoch was 65. yeares old His name signifieth Long life or Speare death Methushelah died being 969. yeares old Sem being 98. the seuenth that died after Adam as his father Henoch was the seuenth that was borne after Adam He died but a few daies before the Flood to shew that hee being a iust man kept away the Flood and lacked but 31. yeares of 1000. Now it is not to be vnderstoode that he liued full 969. yeares for hee liued but a few dayes of his last yeare For if his yeares be cast you shall see he dieth in the yeare of the Flood The Flood came not in the first month because Methushelah thē liued The tenth day of the second month the Flood came Methushelah was dead before that time His dayes were the exact rule of the Flood for so long as he liued the waters could not ouerflow the earth hee beeing dead the waters might aske God whether they should now worke vengeance to the wicked No saith God Noah shall mourne him a month as the children of Israel mourned Iacobs death afterwardes this month of sorrow beeing ended then they demaund of God againe whether now the wicked should bee ouerwhelmed with waters God answered no for Noah shall haue a Sabaoth of preparation This being finished the Flood couereth the face of the earth Methushelah spoyle death or Speare death Christ Died and rose againe and re●i●ed that he might be Lord of quicke and dead Suffered death that by his death he might ouercome him that had the power of death Lamech borne when Methushela was 187. yeares old HIs name signifieth Striken or Heart-wounded Hee is called so in respect of some inward griefes that hee should beare for the afflictions of the world You haue an other Lamech of Kaines house but of contrary nature to this Lamech Lamech of Kaine was a striker Lamech of Seth striken the one a Preacher of destruction to the world the other an example of impietie to the world and being 1600. yeares after Kaine knew Kaines storie Hee had two Wiues it was not so from the beginning Some hold that he was the first that had two Wiues but doubtlesse many others had the like but God in one doth shew the manners of the rest He saith to his Wiues I will kill a man c. So that as the world began with killing so it continued in wickednesse and violence The other Lamech doth make a confession full of contrition and in naming his Sonne Comforter 600. yeares before the Flood sheweth that he was a Prophet of very liuely skill Lamech died fiue yeares before the Flood being 777. yeare old and Sem 93. His age runneth vpon seuens for what he wanted in long life hee had it in casting a sweete account If Lamech had had the age of his Fathers he might haue seene the Flood Compare him with Christ Christ is both outwardly stricken and inwardly wounded Outwardly when in the open Hall he was buffeted scourged spitted at and vpon the Crosse pierced both handes feete and sides Inwardly when he was reuiled with blasphemous speaches at his death and when in stead of Drinke to comfort him they gaue him Gall and Myrre mingled togeather but most especially when his gyltlesse soule did suffer vnconceaueable torments to redeeme our gyltie soules and bodyes from the thrall of Satan as may appeare when from his sides issued Water and Blood Noah borne when Lamech was 182. yeares old HIs name signifieth Comforter or Restorer The fayth of Lamech no doubt was cleare concerning saluation by the seede of the woman in that hee named his sonne Comforter or Restorer As if he had said though for inpiety all the world be destroyed yet I am assured that the Promise made to Adam must of necessitie be performed or else no flesh can be saued In this fayth Adam after hee had transgressed by eating of the forbidden Fruite was saued In this fayth Abel offered vp a greater Sacrifice then Kaine In this fayth Henoch walked with God and was no more seene for he was taken vp In this fayth all the Fathers obtained eternall life In this fayth Noah became a Preacher of Righteousnesse and an executor of true Iudgement and prepared the Arke to the sauing of his houshold c. Heb. 11. 10. This ten is to shew that Noah is the tenth from Adam Multiply Henoch by Noah that is the number of the Sabaoth by the full number 10. you haue the number 70. which throughout the Bible is famous and of great force for light in the Sorie In this tenth age Gods iustice ouer all flesh was extended Compare him with Carist Noah Was a preacher of righteosnesse Found grace before God Christ Was the true preacher of righteousnesse Dan. 9.24 Grew in fauour with God and man Luke 2.52 Noah was a King Prophet Sacrificer Christ was a King Prophet Sacrificer In Noahs 480.

Sonne from the malice of Athalia which had destroyed all the rest of the Kings seede and dieth being 130 yeares old While he liued Joas kept Religion and Worshipped the God of his Father After his death he fell away and suffered incense to be offered in the groues to whom Zacharias the Sonne of Barachias said Is this the reward of all my Fathers paines that as soone as my Father is dead you forsake the true God and worship the Gods of the Nations For which cause Ioas caused him to be slaine betweene the Alter and the Temple So that as death is contrarie to life and as at the birth of Seth and Abraham the graces of God were manifested to the world so at Iehoiadahs death the Tribe of Iuda lost all Religion It is a question how Torah being an Idolater could name Abram Hie Father son so doth the word signifie Hee might guesse like a worldly man that his Sonne Abram should be likely to be Rich and Mightie and so should haue many vnder him Howsoeuer it was this is certaine that God directed the tongue of this Idolater to set foorth and preach his glory though his life had no shew of vertue Here is an other question to be discussed of the age of Terah when he begat Abram Of Terah his age when he begat Abram SOme will haue Abram to be borne at Terahs Seuentieth yeare because in Gen. 11.26 it is sayd Terah liued seuentie yeares and begat Abram Nachor and Haran Wherevpon they gather that Abraham was the first borne because hee is put in the first place and that hee was borne in that yeare of Terah to wit the Seuentie But they marke not that Terahs Sonnes are reckoned not according to their age but according to their dignitie as Gen. 5. The sonnes of Noah Sem Cham and Iaphet are so rehearsed that in the first place there is mention made of Sem who for all that was not the first borne neither could be borne in the Fiue hundreth yeare of Noah fith two yeares after the Flood in which yeare he begat Arphaxad hee was but an hundreth yeares old Now the first of this opinon whom I follow was Caluine that famous Doctor of the Church of Geneua who in his Commentaries vpon Gen. 11.27 expresseth it in plaine wordes Him followed Beroaldus who did much in the illustrating of time and Mangoldus This demonstration is set downe Act. 7. Abraham is said to goe out of Haran after his father Terah died Now Terah liued 205. yeares And Abraham went out of Haran in the 75. yeare of his age which yeares if you subtract from Terahs age there remaine 130. yeares in which Abrams natiuitie falleth The same may be confirmed by Sarahs age Abrams wife who is thought to be the Daughter of Abrams brother Abram exceeded her no more but ten yeares whereupon it followeth that hee was borne long after him that was both his Brother and Father in law Abram therefore was called and began his Peregrination in the 2084. yeare of the world the very same day that his posteritie went out of Egipt namely the 15. of Nisan as it is sayd in Exod. 12. The third ioynct of this first time which containeth the diuine couenant of Abraham endeth in the yeare when the Law was giuen in which the Israelites by the goodnesse of God were brought foorth and deliuered out of Egipt by many and strange Miracles This containeth 430. yeares which is confirmed by the testimonie of S. Paul who expresly sayth Gal. 3.17 That the Law began 430. yeares after the confirming of the Couenant or Testament And concerning the confirmation of which Couenant he speaketh he expresseth in that which went before namely of that same which was made when being called of God he went out of Haran For in vers 8. hee cyteth the same Promise In thee shall all the Nations of the earth be blessed Which Gen. 12. is rehearsed in the narration of his calling vers 3. Hitherto also it appertaineth which is written Exod. 12. vers 40. The Peregrination of the Children of Israel as learnedly and truely translateth that worthy man Beroaldus which they dwelt in Egipt was Foure hundred and thirtie yeares Which surely the Seuenty Interpreters so translate that they account the Peregrination of the Fathers made in the Land of Canaan in this dwelling Neither doth the place of Gen. 15. vers 13. concerning the Seede of Abrham to be afflicted 400. yeares hinder it For Abrahams Peregrination is to be deriued frō his Calling and his Seed began to be afflicted when Isaacke the Sonne of Promise borne 25. yeares after his Calling being a Child peraduenture of fiue yeares old suffered the scoffinges of Ismael borne of the Hand-mayde which surely the Apostle Gal. 4.29 expressely nameth Persecution Adde hereunto the rest which Isaacke and Iacob suffered among Strangers Now that time wherein the Israelites abode in Egipt that it is farre wide of 400. yeares is clearer then the light at noone day to them which consider that Koath the Sonne of Leui went downe into Egipt and liued 133. yeares and that his Sonne Amram liued 137. yeares Exod. 6. and that Moses his Sonne was 80. yeares old when he went out of Egipt All which make but 350. yeares and if from these those yeares be subduced which they liued after their Sonnes were borne the yeares remayning would be few But these thinges Doctor Beroaldus and others haue learnedly set foorth Those notable men Bullinger Phlinspachius Scalinger and others agree vnto it It is said that Terah being 70. yeares old begetteth Abram Haran Nachor The Iewes say That Abraham was the eldest but thereby they bring notable absurdities for they agree that Sara was Harans Daughter she is but Ten yeeres younger than Abram and then Abram being elder than Haran and yet married his daughter but Ten yeares younger then her Husband Haran must needes beget her at Nine yeares of age which is impossible Therefore it is certaine that Nachor and Haran were elder then Abram For if wee looke to Gen. 12. and consider that Abram being Seuentie and fiue yeares old receiued the promise and to Saint Stephens Oration Act. 7.2 by which it appereth that Terah was dead before Abram had the promise or else the promise might haue had reference to Terah as well as to Abram we shall by good Arithmetique cast Terah at the birth of Abram to be 130. yeares for take 75. yeares out of 205. which is the time that Tenah liued and there remaineth 130 the age of Terah when he begat Abram To inlarge this further If Abram had beene the eldest Sem would not haue giuen him the blessing for then he should haue died before Sem and men doe not giue their inheritance to their sonnes which die in their life but he would rather haue kept it for Isaack with whom he liued 50. yeares this may be made plaine by another of the same sort Rebecca being with child and they

both striuing in her wombe asketh counsell what should become of her The question is of whom Sem beeing dead it is manifest either of Heber or of Abraham Thus you may see that without the knowledge of the times wee could not auoide these errours SARAH borne SArah is the same in signification that Iiscah is for Sarah signifieth Queene So doth Iiscah Her name was afterwards called Sarai that is My Queene Shee is thought to bee Iiscah the Daughter of Haran and so shee is for Abraham calleth Lot Brother which could not be but in respect of marriage for Lot was the sonne of Haran and brother to Iiscah therefore in that meaning Abram speaketh truely You haue a verie easie reckoning of the times if you begin at Sarahs fifteenth yeare of age when she was fit as is were to bee a Tabernacle for Abraham From Sarahs 15. yeare of age to the building of Moses Tabernacle 480. These comparisons prooue the Prouidence of god to be plaine and his counsell easie Frō thence to the Building of Salomons temple 480. Third of Cyrus when the Proclamation went forth for building the seconde Temple 480. Gouernment of Pontius Pilate in whose time Christ built his spirituall Temple 480. These comparisons prooue the Prouidence of god to be plaine and his counsell easie Regu died being 239. yeares old Serug died being 230. yeares old The Promise is giuen to Abraham at his 75. yeare of age THat is Christ is promised to Abraham after the flesh Gen. 12.3 430. yeares before the giuing of the Law The Promise to Adam in Paradise and to Sem after the Flood is heere renewed to Abraham when hee is 75. yeares old so many yeares olde as there bee Fathers of Christ from Adam to Iosepth Saint Matthew beginning at Abraham reckoneth them but 42. that is three Fourteenes or six Seuens but Saint Luke reckoning them bringeth Christ from Adam and sheweth their number to be 75. Saint Matthews meaning was to prooue him King of the Iewes and Saint Luke to shew that he is the Seede of the woman Seuentie fiue hath in it Ten Seuens and Fiue the number of the letters of Iebouah God changeth Abrams name from Abram to Abraham of Haman a Multitude because in him all the Nations and multituds of the earth should bee blessed like vnto Noah a new Comforter Hee left his Countrey and his fathers house and went to a Land which God would shew him so Saint Paul teacheth saying By fayth Abraham when he was called obeyed God to got into a place which he should after receiue for an inheritance and he went out not knowing whither he went In this faith Moses a high Sonne refused to be called the Sonne of Pharaohs Daughter Saint Luke testifieth of him Act. 7.2 That the God of glorie appeared to our Father Abraham when hee was in Mesopotamia before he dwelt in Charran and sayd vnto him Get the out of thy Country frō thy kindred come into a Land that I shall shew thee Then came he out of the Land of Chaldea and dwelt in Charran and from thence when his Father was dead hee brought him into the Land of Canaan but he had no inheritance in it no not the breadth of a foote Yet God promised that hee would giue it him to possesse and to his seede after him when as yet he had no Childe Wherefore Beleeuing in God it was counted to him for righteousnesse For the promise to Abraham that hee should bee the heire of the world was not giuen him or his seede through the law but through the righteousnesse of fayth Rom. 4. In Nehem. 9.7.8 You haue there in the prayer of Nehemiah an abridgement of all this Storie how the Lord chose Abram and brought him out of Vr of the Chaldees and called him Abraham and found his heart faithfull and made a couenant with him to giue his seede the Land c. S. Paul in Act. 17. reasoneth with the men of Athens thus You Grecians you are of Iapheth that your Countrey is Ionia and yee are the Sonnes of the earth Be it knowne vnto you that God at the first made all mankind of one blood to dwell on all the face of the earth and assigned the seasons which were ordained before and the boundes of their habitations for he deuided vnto them the Land according to the number of the Sonnes of Israel Now ye Heathen your owne Poets say yee are the generation of God and wee may obserue that in all the Ceremonies of Moses there is a great preuiledge laid downe for the Heathen and it is sayd by saint Paul God which iustifieth the wicked euen Abram being an Idolater The Gentiles are no worse therefore they haue no cause to despaire And where it is said in this storie of Abraham that he forsooke his father his fathers house Saint Steuen Act. 7.4 sheweth that it was at the time his father was dead for otherwise it had been an hard example and Gods actions must bee so wisely disposed that the verie Heathen must acknowledge them to be iust which they would not haue done if he had left his father he being aliue It is further added that Abraham was rich hee was of behauiour quiet for to auoide strife and contention betwixt his Shepheards the Shepheards of Lot he willed him to choose whether he would take to the right hand or to the left Lot choseth the best for eie sight though by the close counsell of God ordering his choise it prooued farre contrarie Abraham was politique for he had 318. Souldiers of his owne family which he himselfe had instructed and he vsed recreation and in curiositie did not contemne it for otherwise he could not haue made his men so expert warriours and surely there is nothing disturbeth religion more then curiositie Hee was a stately man and couragious and had authoritie of life and death els could hee not haue kept so many in good order His moderation appeareth also in that he suffered Sara to rule at home he was politique in choosing the night to set on his enemies for seeing hee was in the fauour of God he was sure he could not walke in darkenesse and it was the fittest time to make his enemies afraid Melchisedech King of Salem a figure of the Sonne of God meeteth Abraham IT is a question who this Melchisedech should bee It is most certaine it is Sem the sonne of Noah Which may be gathered from the circumstance of the Storie being modestly expounded Heb. 7.1 This Melchisedech king of Salem mette Abraham as he returned from the slaughter of the Kings to whom also Abraham gaue tithes of all thinges first he is called by interpretation King of Righteousnesse and after that King of Salem that is to say King of Peace without Father without Mother without kindred and hath neither beginning of dayes nor end of life but is likened to the Sonne of God Hee was Without

is the difference the Lawes of the godly are so reasonable that euery one may see presently the equitie of them on the contrarie it is enough in the Lawes of the wicked That it is the Kinges pleasure or that it satisfies their Humors To returne wee may gesse that Isaacke was fiue yeares old when Ismael mocked him for otherwise Isaacke could not haue perceiued it Ismaels flouting might be after this sort Is this hee that shall haue the Promise in whom the Nations shall be blessed a goodly one I warrant you What continuance or strength can there be in him seeing at the time of his birth his father and mother were very old and decayed in strength and yet when hee is weaned there must be great Festing and iolly cheare If we consider what an offence it is esteemed if one being a Subiect or otherwise inferiour should contumeliously and despightfully taunt and vpbraide the Heire apparant to a Kingdome wee will thinke this an iniurie not sufferable If we obserue the time when the Children of Israel came out of Egipt which was about Easter and that this time of flouting that time maketh 400. yeares we shall find that this mocking was likewise about Easter Selah died Cen. 11.14.15 being 514. yeares old Iosephus thinketh that Jsaacke was appoynted to be sacrificed at 35. yeares Codomanus is of opinion that Isaacke at this time was offered being now 32. yeares old and three quarters answerable to the death of Christ at his death seeing his death was a figure of the death of Christ There is nothing precisely determined by the Scriptures and therefore it is left for vs to follow which we will This Isaacke in respect of the commandement of God that he should be offered vp and the obedience of Abraham in offering him was dead and was restored to Abraham as if he had been risen from the dead He was offered on Mount Moriab a part of the Mountaine of Sion called afterwardes Ierusalem Of this Christ speaketh O Ierusalem Ierusalem thou that sawest those thinges that concerne thy peace but now they are hid from thine eyes therefore thou art Iebus that is troden downe God altereth the name Moriah to Ierusalem because he would haue kept in memorie Abrahams Obedience Sems Religion and therefore giueth it a name comprehending both for in respect of Abraham he calleth it Iirie Abraham giuing it the name Iehouah Iirie that is In the Mount will the Lord be seene In respect of Sem he keepeth the name of Salem still and so it is called Iirie Salem The sight of Peace From this Storie the Iewes might haue knowne the death of Christ seeing Christ compareth them togeather and yet by putting Christ to death haue saued the world though not heaped condemnation on their owne heads for as it was prophecied that one man must die for all the people so they might haue thus reasoned we know this is the Messias and that he must die for the sinnes of the people Isaacke being a figure and this time wherein hee now is on the earth agreeth with Daniels seauens Therfore as Abraham offered vp Isaacke so let the high Sacrificer according to the law put him to death but then as Saint Peter speaketh if they had knowne this they would not haue crucified the Lord of glorie But as the windows of Salomons Temple bee narrow without wide within so Christ speaketh of parables that they are therefore spoken that in hearing they should not heare and in seeing they should not see least they should repent and be saued The author to the Hebrewes sayth By Fayth Abraham offered vp Isaacke and hee that receiued the promise offered his onelie begotten Sonne to whom it was sayd In Isaacke shall thy seede bee called for hee considered that GOD was able to raise him vp euen from the dead from whence he receiued him also after a sort Christ in the Gospell affirmeth that Abraham saw my dayes That is in Isaacke and reioyced God speaketh from heauen to Abraham in this sort By my selfe haue I sworne because thou hast done this thing and hast not spared thine onlie Sonne therfore will I surely blesse thee In Rom. 8.32 Saint Paul speaketh thus What shal we then say to these things if God be on our side who can be against vs who spared not his owne Sonne but gaue him to death for vs How shall hee not with him giue vs all thinges also Compare Isaacke with Christ Was not Abraham our Father iustified by Workes when he offered his Sonne Isaacke vpō the Altar Iam. 2. Isaacke was bound Isaacke after three daies was offered vp to death and after a sort reuiued to life God spared not his owne Sonne but gaue him for vs all to death Christ was bound Christ hauing suffered death riseth vp againe the third day to life Sara died being 127. yeayes old She was buried in Canaan in the Fielde of Machpelah which Abraham hought of the Hittits This place they would haue giuen Abraham freelie for they confessed that he was a Prince of God amongst them but he would buy it because they should not say that they had made Abraham rich wherefore we must know if we will be godly that all our life is but a Pilgrimage and that wee are but Strangers and that all our Inheritance is nothing else but a place for Buriall The Hebrewes expound Sarahs death a mortification and dying vnto sinne Rebecca is married to Isaacke Gen. 24.47 when he is 40. yeares old SHee is the Daughter of Bethuel the Sonne of Nachor the Sonne of Terah and Brother of Abraham her Grandfather Nachor was an Idolater but her Grandmother Milka is thought to be of a good Religion in that two of her Sonnes Bethuel and Kemuel haue El the mighty God in their names Isaacke goeth to Mesopotamia for a Wife of his owne kindred for in Canaan there were none of his owne kindred and of the women of the Land he might not marrie Iacob his Sonne likewise goeth to Mesopotamia to Laban the brother of Rebecca and there taketh him Wiues of the same kindred SEM died Gen. 11.10 being 600. yeares old borne 98. yeares before the Flood and was taught by Methushelah and Lamech who saw Adam many yeares THis Sem was a great King and liued sixe hundred yeares as Noah before the Flood He is called Melchisedech the King of Peace He dwelt at Salem where his name continued 65. ages halfe one hundred and thirtie answerable to Seth till that the Apostles receiued the holy Ghost after the ascention of Christ Hee is resembled to the Sonne of God Sems house beleeued that Christ should come till hee came and when he came they denied him and were cut off Esau Iacob borne Gen. 25.25 their grandfather Abraham bing 160 and their father Isaacke 60. yeares old THe first matter in this Storie to be considered is how the two Twinnes in Rebeckahs wombe are called two Nations Malachi
