his soule went from the body to heaven Br. Our Greeke abridgement of faith saith He was crucified dead and buried and went to God where the godly have heaven and the godles hell Rab. Elias Wee holde so all in Gether Maleuth that on high be chambers of joy and light chambers of torment in fyre brimstone Br. Seeing then it is appointed for all to die and then commeth iudgement while it is sayd to day seeke vnto the mercy of GOD in Christ otherwise your portion shal be in the lake burninge with fyer and brimstone Your Law had but a shadowe of things to come not the very image of matters For it was vnpossible that the blood of oxen and goates should take away sinne Therefore Iesus comming vnto the world saith Sacrifice offring thou regardest not Behold I come to do thy will In the whole roule of thy booke it is written By this performance of wil we are saved Therfore seeing we have freedome to enter into the Sanctuarie by the blood of Iesus Let vs come with a true heart and certeintie of faith into that way which he hath consecrated for vs. Yee have felt nowaboue 1500. yeares eternall destruction for falling into the handes of the livinge God while yee dreame hope by the workes of the Law Sabbath and Circumcision though yee breake all the rest when ye say Sabbath shakul ce col hatorah and Milah shakul co col hatora The Sabbath is weighed as all the Law Circumcision is weighed as all the Law The keeping of either after the end of Daniels seavē is death to you Rab Elias You have vnlaced vnto me two bookes Iohns Visions and the Epistle to the Ebrewes and I will confesse as Abr. Ruben did at Constantinople that I never thought to heare so much spoken clearely from the Law for your Gospell O that you would write in Ebrew as you speak to me you should so save all our nation Basil giveth you high report hardly perswade all that Rubens Epistle was in sadnes Therfore Christians and Iewes should require sentence against him At Geneva one would play and say The olde Lady is descended vp to Haides your hope is poysoned God forbid Vtis was comming to Lions But is returned to Calice to rule Locgriam Then I sayd If Vtis keepe him selfe so sure from fyre and water as all our folke will keepe him from setting one foot in Loegriâ but as a prisoner or by the Kinges leave he shall never be burnt nor drowned I warrant him Tell N. N. so Geneva shal be sunke before I suffer my Nation to be reported so senseles as to become Neroes and vnder them over whom we claime rule Our stomackes will never broke that and not one in Loegria dare chirpe that way Rab. Elias Your resolute iudgement for Divinitie and humanitie is alike But holde you on your purpose for writing in Ebrew for our vse You know what encomion Rabbi Ruben hath written you and what contempt of others Br. That will doe me little good Seeing the worlde is full of prophane scoffers and dullardes Princes Nobles and all of noble mindes regard studie But as Machmad barbarous found moe fellowes in fourtie yeares then millions of learned found so one Thersites will trouble the Greek Campe more then millions sage But to conclude as Iacob and Moyses did blesse Israell so I grone to teach you how all blessings were aey in Christ all the Law frō Aleph to Thau standes in him I mentioned how holy Paul wished him self cut off from God to save you I cut of my selfe from this worlds preferrement to be ready to teach you Say not in your heart who can goe vp into heaven to bring Christ downe or who can goe into the deepe of the earth to bring Christ from the dead But beleeve that Iesus is the Eternall God and that the Godhead raised the man from death and you shal be saved and receave the power of his spirit to be quickned from death to life and by the aboundance of Grace of the gift of iustice reigne with Christ for ever and ever That there be in the holy Eternall three heads and are brought all to one ye confesse in Zohar Deut. col 559. that the Angell Iehova is God of Bethell that doth Ramban vpon Exod. 23. and for pluralitie of persons yee doe note better then ever any other vpon Let vs make man Gen. 5 and vpon Psa 33. in Midras Tillin and in Saned fol. 38. and infinitelie But that God should be in Christ that can ye not see to this day But the verie same hatred that the Devills bare to mans glorie yee beare against the Sonne of man whiche aboad all shame to bring vs to glorie To whom be all glorie for ever as he is in holy spirit God to be praised for ever To the Right Reverend Fathers the Governours of Oxford WHEN Mr. Scaligers booke de emendatione temporum came forth many churches were troubled because it brought an other length of time then their narrations would suffer Herevpon I tooke in hande to shew a chaine of times from Creation to Redemption and I shewed Iubilees drawen from the partition of the Lande vnto our Lords death to give the time a double chaine And to this I applyed particular Liues in common course that there was no iarring but as Salomons Temple had no hammer noise but all was made fit on the mountaine so all seemed to have a consent And I warned of heathen lying workes and forged which in athean blindnes should trouble the holy meaning of the Bible Such as make Nabopollasar Father to Nabuchodonosor and Emperour of all Asia frustrate Ieremies prophecie for greatnes to arise Mr. Ios Scaliger should have seene this So when he thinketh that Ezekiel 1 1. taketh his accompt not from Iosias Pascha but from Nabopollasar all should blame his boldnes So when hee would have Daniel captived not in the fourth of Ioakim which he writeth of him selfe but with Iechonias the oversight is great as in denying the Kingdome of Babell parted to Medes and Persians Dan. 5. and specially for Olympiades where I will lay downe his wordes De initio Cyrj Quotquot temporum rationes disputarunt vetustissimi eruditissimi scriptores nemo non corum Cyrj annum primum in primum Olympiadis 55. confert Diodorus Siculus Thallus Castor Polybius Phlegon vt scribit auctor Priscus eruditus Tatianus Idem testatur Africanus apud Eusebium What a triffling testimonie is this Africanus giveth the Macedonians three hundreth seaventie yeares Maister Scaliger but 294. from Alexanders death to Cleopatraes when Antony killed him selfe Therefore this testimonie is nothing worth Besides Phlegon and Diodorus differ an hundreth yeares for beginning Olympiades And Pamphila differeth two hundreth yeares for Chilon the Lacedemonian of Cyrus time from Sosigenes in Laertius Sosigenes maketh Chilon to be Ephoros in Olympiade 56. Pamphila in the sixt So there is two hundreth yeares difference And Pamphila hath much defence For if Menelaus came to Tyrus in Chyram and Salomons dayes foure hundred and five y●●●● after that in Diodorus beginning of Olympiades and six Ol●●piades more will well reach to Chilon his office to cast it into the sixt Olympiade Any one would bee aweary to reckon the diversities which be of Olympiades in Greekes Clement hath this That Ezekiel prophecied in the 48. Olympiad and so Aggej in the 48. And there was neare 100. yeares betwixt their prophecies Endles be the differences and from sundry games of old men reckoned them not reckoning the number but when such a gamester as Diagoras Rhodius wan the price so Theucidides reckoneth them Before Alexander Macedon no auctour in copies vnblamed numbred an Olympiad Hippias Elaeus might seeme to toy But none would regard him And in Fastis Siculis The Olympiad of Regifugium is not 68. as in Eusebius But in 86. or 85. as I remember So the goodly tables of Eusebius and Glareanus made from Dionysius and Diodorus when they are examined have small auctoritie Your great learned man that wrote against the Apocrypha to dash the holy Bibles auctoritie and to set vp Satans lies should not be in that argument in too high esteeme Galen warneth vpon Hippocrates that the greatest part of Alexandria Librarie was pestered with forged workes And Historiques mooved every stone to feigne concent to time But when they are traced in particulars agreement falleth most vpon the Angells accompt And without mans auctoritie that should bee holden simply And the Iewes who reckoned hourely their comming home from Babell and had their seavens to helpe them never disagree in the Gospell about the time that Iohn was to Baptise and Messias to appeare And when I drove your Doctor to this exigent to begin the time at the Angells message and to say 70. septiments completis excisus est Ch. I thought I had done enough to make any see that I had the victorie and I never thought he should be suffered to say that the holy Angell meant no certen time As god wil not be mocked so he would not mock to speake of foure hundred and nienetie yeares when the worlde should looke for salvation and not performe the worke till five hundred and sixtie yeres God his vnchangeable trueth cannot so deale with the sonnes of Adam If in his life time his Lectures had come foorth I had answered him in Latin Now I am loth to baite the dead Looke your selves to the dignitie of your owne Academic FINIS

By his keyes of the pit whēce he fetched the woorwood of his haeresies he bringeth Locustes of monkes to devour all the west able to make warres and becometh King of Locustes and maketh warres and so becommeth a fyrie mountaine to make hayle and fyer mixt with blood This was one woe He weakened the East Empire to set vp the Saracenes and is plagued from Emphrates as his Idolatrie and treacherie turned away the East chapt niene Christ reviveth the Gospell when men eat the litle booke teaching againe How he is the Angell of Covenant and mediatour for the faithfull capit 10. Martyrs bringe policies to see what the king of Locustes his citie or Policie is and he falleth and the Gospell is restored and he falleth with worldes end capit xj The same matter is repeated for Caesars and Pope in a Dragon of Roman armes As it was called Egypt capit xj and Pharaoh a Dragon Esai 27. The vpper part of the Dragon is shewed to be the Romane Empire one compiled of the foure in Daniel and the taile is expounded to be the beast arising from the earth capit xj or King of Locustes capit 9. he reviveth the former Empire so that none can live in it without his marke capit 13. His marke is to force Christians to Idolatrie For which vilanie Roman Babylon is told of a fall capi 14. By vrging Idolatrie he driueth from his Aegypt the Church through a sea of fyre and faggot into the wildernes Where the tabernacle built hath a smoke of Gods anger and Angels seauen plague him as he plagued all vnder the seauen trumpets ch 16. The beast reviued hath no difference from the former but in bloody colour the daughter Rome riding vpon it all bloody ch 17. Rome shall fall as Babylon Tyrus did ch 18. It shall fall when all nationes sing Haleluiah vpon the destruction of the wicked with vnderstanding Then the Word of God wil catch the beast false Prophet the whole dragon reviued cast him into a Lake burning with fyer Brimstō Which is the secōd death ch 19. But the Roman Dragon shal be tyed a thousand yeres before the King of Locustes deceaueth generally But then he makes a new Gog Magog for the old Ierusalem thervpon shal be destroyed as the old was by the first cōming so he by the second of Christ from a throne of Iudgement as the old Gog Magog was ch 20. As Iohn in Patmos saw the heauenly Ierusalem So Patmos the church tossed with Aegean waues shal be in Gods sight such as Esay Ezekiel Aggei Zachary spake of Christ saluteth vs poore heathen with his owue most gracious voice To him that loued vs hath washed vs from our sinnes by his blood be all honour and glory for euer Amen NOw because I wish your right worshipfull company by this paynes to be Isachar Zabulon grauen in blew Saphir Sardonyx that will abide striking in the brest of the high sacrificer in the heauens I will briefly touch the sum of this booke With three Iewes I had spech At Amsteldem with Rabbi Farar a Physician At Hanaw with the Synagoge Doctor Rabbi wolf At Basil with a Rabbin most desirous of christianity The other do meane no good Farar obiected in a great assembly sayng your Principal scholers make Ioseph son to Ely and Salathiel to Iechonias proprely both and the fourth Kingdome in Daniel to be the Romane and that to this day yee cannot agree what Daniels seauens meane nor to defend our Greke Testament nor to tell what our Crede meaneth Beza and Calvin misse in the first three deadly Liuely Barlo most athean impudently in the fourth And for the fift Beza spent sixty yeres to prove the new Testamēt most corrupt for the sixt Geneva layd a trayn to kill you for denying Catelthein eis haidou in the Crede to meane suffring of hel torment and for saying that by all Grekes it meaneth a passage vnto Paradise And at this last the Hanaw Iew fell back that Hanaw builders hindered great Princes promises for Ebrew drawing of both testamentes vnto Christ because you despised Geneva having drawen all Churches vnto them and for Daniels 〈…〉 Genevit Scaliger checketh all former ending them with Ierusalem as we Iewes doe So for all six by Geneva your Gospel should be nothing worth as by Oxon wher D. R. was suffred to say the Angel meant no certaine time but if he had sayd after 80 seauens Messias shal be slain he had spoken proprely They forget God that dare teach Angels how to deliuer their Message I graunted that Geneva in all these taught poison to the Gospell and by blindenes wold make Churches a Synagoge of Satan and this I wold make good That Iesus Mary Ely are Luc. 3. genealogied not Ioseph that Iechonias only as a King a successor begat Salathiel that the Macedonianes were the fourth Kingdome in Daniel that Beroaldus in Geneva rightly limited Daniels seauens That Beza hath altered no text only disputed vpon them that for Luc. 3. he referreth the matter to others and Mat. 1. and Daniels fourth Kingdome is well handled by Genevean Iunius and Tremelius And the senat for all yelded vnto me and Hanaw little ioyeth in any victory Beza with Calvin did much good in their kind But I wold not haue them my auctours Thus I disputed with the Iewe. I also glaunse at the Iesuites for Plantines Bible for fastening to the Bible of the old Testament 1696 vniust blames and denying the vowels to haue Gods austority and for stealing the word Romylus from the Chaldy Es 11. where Ionathan namely condemneth Rome as S.

serpent brought man to sinne Messias shall finde him iustice Satan bred death Messias life Satan brought all the world to wrack Messias the mightie God will make a new world and ye confesse in tongue that in this speach HE shall bruse thy head HE is here God to be praised for ever And this more ye say He hath decreed to destroy him out of the world as it is written Death shal be swallowed vp into victorie And I will destroy the vncleane spirit from out of the earth This is principally in time to come whē the dead shall arise Againe in Zohar Gen. col 298. Since the time that the serpent overruled man he ruleth also over all the sons of the world and he is busie to deceave the world and the world cannot escape his punishment vntill Christ the King doeth come and the holy and blessed God doeth raise vp them that sleepe in the dust as it is written Death is swallowed vp into victorie Also your selves say Christ shal be killed Therevpon is this allusion of Booz to Ruth Sleepe vnto the morning Zohar col 93.

All our Doctours graunt that Adam fell the day of his creation Br. And all ours not ridiculous and all simply that redemption was wrought that day The whole Sabbath our Lord rested in the grave and the first day hee arose and brought light vnto the world Your selves in Zohar graunt all this of Messias all this that I speak That Messias is God that this saying Let there be light is an inducing to his light And this The Spirit floothereth vpon the waters hath inducement to his Spirit flootring vpon the waters of the Law All this in Zohar vpon Gen. fol. 21. and much more That Messias was in the Garden and Adam was drivē from Messias Thus you heare the cause of our Lords day Rab.

If your synedriōn had done so when they condemned the sonne of God in the very last day of 490. yeres since the Angel Gabriel told Angelike Daniel of redemption day and if you had sacrificed Messias as Abraham would have sacrificed Isaac God bidding otherwise you should have said we will not kill him he is the Saviour of the world it had bene well with you to this day But now for missing this much you have bene fewell for Gehenna and shal be for ever except some small remnant And of vs heathen few will in wit over-reach the angels that fell That the sonne of Enosh shall have all things put vnder his feet Rab.

Christ being sacrificed for vs is our altar And vnder his protection the soules be that beleeved in him And that is meant by situation vnder the Altar You and we both holde truly that all holy ever went hence to the holy mountayne and Tabernacle of God We hold that none ever were holy but they who looked that God in the flesh should give them iustice and life VI. When Martyrdome had brought Countreys to affect the Gospell somewhat plentifully God revengeth the Empire After Diocletians persecution an earthquake of States followed the sunne of Empire was as black as saccloth and the moone was turned to blood and the starres of heaven fell as a figge tree casteth her figges being shaken of a great winde And the heaven was rouled vp like a booke and everie montaine and Island was remooved from their place Know you what these speaches in the Prophetes meane Rab.
