To the Reverend and Right Worshipful PETER MEW D. D. Vice Chancellour of OXFORD And To the Reverend and Right Worshipful JOHN BRETON D. D. Vice Chanc. of CAMBRIDGE And to the rest of the Reverend and Learned Collegiates of these two famous Vniversities Reverend and Learned SIRS I May justly expect that by your Approbation or Censure the Reputation of these Scriptural Mapps must stand or fall And therefore being by my own Examinations of them prompted to hope well from You I offer them to your perusals The Originals of these had their Original from an Assembly of Dutch Ministers who selected from among themselves two such Persons as they thought apt and able to correct all the foregoing Authours that have set forth Mapps of the like nature viz. Ortelius Christiaen Adrichom Arnold and Nicholas Geilkerck c. which being finisht they exposed to Publick view designing thereby the more profitable and pleasant reading of the Holy Scriptures Among other Speculators their Work fell under my Ey but it was all in the Dutch Tongue and scarce to be understood but by those that understood it Wherefore I judging it as profitable and pleasant for us as them took both the task of Translation upon my self and the Charge of Engraving and Printing the Plates and Book If therefore by your good Readings any of you find faults in any of these Mapps and let me know where they be I shall be both thank fal to you and carefull to get the Plates corrected and amended against the next Impression Reverend and Learned Sirs I wish this Peece as capable as I am willing to serve ye Joseph Moxon To the READER HEre is offered thee for s●al price the product of much Study and great Pairs The Dutch Protestant Ministery thought it a Work very necessary for Protestants that may read the Bible to bind up with them a●d therefore exposed these Mapps in their Vulgar Language together with Explanations on each particular Mapp And I for the same Reasons render you the same Mapps in the English Tongue with apt Explanations on each of them I have examined every word in each Mapp particularly and altered their spelling the names of Citties and Towns c. to the spelling of our English Bibles and Geographical Tables and in some few Cases where I saw positive Reason for it from the Bible corrected the scituation of Places In this Book of Explanations Mr Butle● the Authour of Christologi hath in a great measure assisted me The rest I translated from its Original in the Dutch all but some alterations I thought fit to make here and there I have also examined all the proofs of Scripture relative to this Discourse which I suppose by oft re-printing of later Impressions from former were become exceeding falsly cited But I have corrected them I confess some grave Eys or tender sighted Persons may wish the Letters in some of these Mapps had been bigger which in regard of the fulness of those Mapps could not be But if such Persons will use a Magnifying Glasse of smal price they shall find the smalest letters appear large enough I chose this Volume for this little Book that it might more conveniently ly open on the Maps while you are perusing them to avoid the trouble of turning them to and fro Where you find any Literal faults have escaped either in Engraving the Mapps or Printing this Book Pray mend them with your Pen and consider how difficult it is to do any thing of this nature without some fault Farewell Joseph Moxon An Explanatory Discourse upon the Mapp of all the EARTH Shewing the Scituation of all the following Mapps in respect of the whole And also how it was since the Flood devided and inhabited by the Posterity of Noah THE Eternal and Almighty God having on the first Day created the Heavens the Earth and the Light by his Word out of nothing On the second Day the Firmament and the Waters above and beneath the same On the third Day parted the Dry Land from the Waters and created Grass Herbs and fruitful Trees On the fourth the Sun Moon and Stars On the fifth the Fishes great and smal and the Fowls of the Air On the sixth the Beasts of the Earth At last he created Man and Woman in his own likeness giving him power over the Fish of the Sea the Fowls of the Air and the Beasts of the Earth and every creeping thing and blessed him placing him in Paradice and promising him upon his obedience eternal life of which the Free of Life was to be a visible signe giving them leave to eat of all the Trees in the Garden except only of the Tree of Good and Evil Telling them that in the day they eat thereof they should dy the death The Devil seeing Man placed in this happy and Imperial condition stirs up the Serpent to tempt the Woman to taste the fruit of the Tree of Good and Evil telling her that they should not dy but that their eyes should be opened and they should be as Gods With these sly and impudent lyes of the Serpent the Woman was perswaded to eat of the forbidden Fruit and gave unto her Husband to eat also So that they both strayed from the Commands of God their Creator and fell by their disobedience into sin and consequently into destruction From Adam in this fallen condition is produced the whole race of Mankind who dayly as they increase fall into all manner of Pleasure Sin and Wickedness Insomuch as through their sinfull lusts and abhominable lives they brought upon themselves the sad and heavy Judgement of an Universal Deludge So that in this Flood perished all the Generations of Adam all other Creatures living upon the Face of the Earth except Faithful Noah and his Family and two of kind Male and Female of all Beasts and Fowls and all Creeping things preserved an Ark built by the directions of Almighty God When the Waters retired into the compass of the Seas Noah devided the dry Land among his Sons Shem Ham and Japhet

was a certain Benjamite a person of good quality who inhabited here and from whom descended that Heroick Father of the Gospel called Saul or Paul Act. 22. 3. Phil. 3. 5. for such was the custom of those dayes that most Persons of any note or eminency had more names than one Hence this Holy Father was by his Father called Saul in evidence that he was a Hebrew of the Hebrews and Paulus or Paul in token that he was born a free man of Rome Now as this Son grew up the good old man was not wanting for care sufficient in his education And first the better to grace his priviledge of a Romane Citizen he bred him up a Schollar in the Academy of Tharsus 7 and here was it that he became so expert in the Philosophical Sayings of the Heathen Sages such as were Aratus Epimenides Menander and others Act. 17. 28. Tit. 1. 12. But as he grew in years to understand himself the Wisdom of Man not amounting to enough to make him a Child of God He was therefore sent away from Tharsus unto Jerusalem 1 to be instructed in the Sacred knowledge of the Book of God Here was famous at that time one Gamaliel a Doctor of the Law and Provost of the Schools in Jerusalem at whose feet this Tarsian Jew being set he studyed the Holy Scriptures and greatly profited in Divine learning beyond all his Equals and fellow-Studients Act. 22. 3. Gal. 1. 14. Here was it that whilest he was eager of his way of Learning and Religion he drew into his head and heart the Doctrine of the Pharisees who were in those dayes though the most respected with the Popularity yet the most Hypocritical and Malicious of all the Jewish Sects Phil. 3. 5 6. During these Times the Messiah appeared as was spoken of by the Prophet Daniel Dan. 9. 25 26 27. and one half of a week of years or 3 years and odd he confirmed the Covenant with many of the Jewish Nation until in the midst of the Week he was crucified and slain and Sacrifice and Oblation ceased All this while was Saul at Ierusalem but so intent at Gam●liels feet that this news of the Messias found no respect from his ears Christ was crucified at the great Paschal Feast and at Pentecost came the Holy Ghost upon the Apostles and enabled them to speak all Languages and to work miracles Now it hapned that by vertue of these Languages they spake and the miracles they wrought so many became their Converts that by the Feast of Tabernacles a necessity appeared to ordain Deacons to assist them in their Ministery Of these were appointed first 7 in company whereof were Stephen and Philip and Nicanor and others and after these were made still more and more Deacons and Evangelists such as were Ananias of Damascus 5 Lucius Barnabas and others Act. 6 ch 9. ch 13. But as these were zealous in preaching the Gospel the Jews were as envious in opposing it and of those opposers Saul of Tarsus was none of the meanest The first quarrel that brake out into blood was that of the Synagogue of the Liberrines against Stephen and this seems to have been at the very next Feast after that of the Tabernacles at what time Stephen was ordained and was therefore at latter end of the Feast of Dedication at what time Stephen being apprehended by those Libertines was haled before the Councel and tumultuously condemned and stoned to death This was as it seems by course of Story much about and as Tradition tells us upon the morrow after the Anniversary Festival of our Saviours Nativity or on the 26 of Decemb. Thus dyed this Proto-Martyr and thus was this first Anniversary of the Nativity next following his Assension turned into mourning Act. 7. 54 55. c. But devout men in honour of this noble Martyr would not suffer his body to ly among the bones of malefactors to be devoured of Dogs but exposed themselves to the hazzard of the Jews displeasure by carrying him to buryal with solemne lamentation Act. 8. 2. The Persecuters thus exasperated made great havoke of these sacred Mourners and some 2000 faithfull Christians slew they in this heat together with Nicanor S. Stephens fellow Deacon besides great multitudes of men and women whom they carryed to prison Dor. Syn. of the 70 Disciples Act. 8. 1. 3. ch 22. 4. ch 26. 10. Under the Councel who condemned this S. Stephen was this our Saul it seems a principal Officer who was present at his examination and gave his vote to have him put to death and was especially imployed to see it done and more than this being in a zealous fury in a wrong way was the death of many a good Christian at this time besides what he imprisoned while he rashly imagined he did God good service by it 1. Tim. 1. 13. Act. 26. 9 10. 11. At this time was Saul but a young man and yet not so young but he was trusted it seems with some place of Authority which was not usually bestowed until a man was 30 current and so by consequence at what time our Saviour was 33 compleat this Saul was 30 current and therefore some 4 years younger than Christ. For 4 weeks lasted this persecution very hot until most part of the poor Christians being fled from Ierusalem except the Apostles were scattered abroad here and there as they could get with safety for refuge of their lives and liberties But this was so far from hindrance as it rather proved an advantage to the Gospel by reason of the scattered Evangelists who preaching as they fled scattered the news of the Gospel in all parts as they flew away Philip the Deacon taught the Samaritans 2 Simon went out towards Tyre 43 and Zidon 48 preaching Bar●abas took towards Cyprus Lucius towards Cyrene x and Ananias made many Converts at Damascus 5. Now when the news of these things came to Ierusalem 1 the Jews were madded at it And the furious Saul in his fiery zeal not satisfied in that he had spoiled the growth of Christianity in Ierusalem unless he might chace it out of the World also got Letters from Caiphas the high Priest directed unto the Synagogues in Damascus in order to bind and bring away to Ierusalem all whom he found both men and women who any waies feared not to own the name of Christ. Act. 9. 1 2. But as many times it happens where the more hast is there is the less speed so it was here for on the 25 day of January as Saul was going to Damascus and almost there Lo a wonderfull bright light appeared round about him and cast him upon the ground utterly astonished and a voice was heard speaking unto him as he lay saying Saul Saul Why persecutest thou me Now such was the force of this miracle and the voice withal together with other discourse accompanying that Sauls heat of persecution was quite cooled and trembling as he lay his heart turned within him
