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 seaveÌ„ 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 froÌ„ 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 yâ—â—â—â— after that in Diodorus beginning of Olympiades and six Olâ—â—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
figge from his tree So here for the Martyrs blood the Empire was strangely shaken Twelve Augusti and Caesares of one kindred and friendship in steed of taming conquered nations fal out among them selves till all were consumed but Constantine the sonne of a Bretan Lady Helena rarely Godly but as women often are too zealous beyond knowledge At Yorke in our Albion his Father Constantius vpon his deathbed maketh him King for him and our endes of the earth and neare nations make him Emperour and he dasheth all the rest and at the end commeth vnto the knowledge of Christ and stablisheth Christianitie every where that all Countreys have kept it openly many hundreth yeres but in private companies still and now againe in Kingdomes full of Power and Learning Rab. El. Now tell what was vnder the seaventh Seale Of Apostasie Ye Iewes know how soone men fall from God Adams house falleth to make Goddes of starres at 200. yeares Before sorowfull Enos was borne to hasten the flood to drench their bodies and to imprison their soules And Noes house by Phalegs birth fell by rebell Nemrod to bee Nemrodes that is rebels against God And holy Hebers house in â—ocktan having so many holy warners Noe Sem Arphaxad Sala Heber fell away that the Indianes be of them East and West divelish to this day Israel in Egipt soone fell all IeroboaÌ„ drew ten Tribes after him Antiochus Epiphanes made you almost all Sadduces and Pharisees So soone men fall In like maner Christians common weales were never all good But as in Israell vnder David the godly were few alwayes so after Christians had free policie many were not sound But yet after the manifestation of redemption infinite many helde the main soundly the holy Trinitie and the incarnation of the Sonne of God And all the conveyance of Gods counsell for the salvation of the world The holy Fathers of old had a smaller companie because they were not perfited by the open storie as we are when the historie was plainly knowen then millions beleeved where few could afore by reason of the matter aey foolishnes to the naturall man and specially when it was taught by darke tokens only and the fulnes of time was not yet come to bring all into opeÌ„ shew But in time policies wolld fall The time of their standing God telleth not For they needed no comfort touching the case of quietnes But a generall state of fall commeth in cha 7. An abridgement of the Churches state vnto the end of the world CHAP. 7. FOure Angells helde the fower Windes of the earth that they should not blow vpon anie tree Know you what this must meane Rab. El. I guesse somewhat In Cantic 4. 16. this speach commeth Arise North-wind come South winde breath on the Garden Let the spices flow Let my beloved come eate his fruite Brought This speach meant the Spirit of grace to the speciall soules which delite in Messias But after Salomons death tenne Tribes as was tolde fell away and the windes blew not So here stay of Grace of the holy Spirit must be meant that in all quarters a fall shal be and from God This speach would be plain to all the nation of the Iewes And this argueth that East-ward Agarenes Southward Aethiopians North-ward Tartarians and Turkes Westwarde Hesperia should fall from God But an Angel sealeth the chosen as in Sedekias dayes chap. 9. that Gods chosen should not perish but a secret sorte hee would have still though an open Church of long time should not appeare Of every Tribe 12000. were sealed and of Heathen a companie innumerable saved by Martyrdome or readinesse to martyrdome which is all one So the seaventh Chapter abridgeth the state of the Church vnto the worldes end Romylus in the Chaldy Es cap. xi his fall and the appearing of Chist shal be neare together If Princes had knowledge soone found by a little studie they might fell him in one yeare But the Spirit doeth breath where it will and a certen number is sealed and the chosen be few yet many Princes as well as other specially in this present age as learned as well bent as their subiectes Ch. 8. How the Bridgemaker of Rome came great Great Constantine hate old Rome deadly and removed to Byzantium and enlarged it and made it the Empire seat with name of new Rome or Byzantias Rome and did all for commodities to it that could be graunted of a wise Emperour Hence Rome in Italie was vndone and often overrun and had continued a filthie cotage of hogges but that the Pontificatus was set vp as Steuchus the Popes owne defendour confesseth But when the Pontificalitie was set vp by the decree of God then all Nations froÌ„ East to West worship the Pope no lesse then they did the old Caesars as Steuchus wordes set forth his owne maister So the Angell of the covenant with the golden Altar and Censer to receave the holyes prayers was angred and as in Sedekias dayes casteth fyer into the earth And seaven Trumpets sounde the mischiefes that wicked Rome should cause I. Haile of state and fyer mixt with blood should this Egypt cause II. It breadeth a new mountain of fyer mixt with blood and that mountain bridge-maker is cast into a sea mixt with fyer III. A Starre falleth from heaven Nuntius Ecclesiae if hee had kept his place and maketh the Waters of the Law so bitter by idolatrie as Ieroboams Calves taunted in holy Amos. Ieroboams Calves and the Popes Masse have equall religion And vther Chiron Eloquent Viretus shall iudge who ioyned the Popes Masse and prophane Poets iestes fitly togeather And our old Father Wiclif from Albion whitely taught Prage Wittenberghe Zurick Basill Berne whole kingdomes what Apollyon was and I hope the moderne King of Albion shall teach the king of Locustes what it is to sende his Locustes with scorpions stinges to torment countreys Albion was the last in the West that receaved the Bridgemaker and Albion first cast him off and still had lawes of treason for seeking to the Bridgemakers superioritie And Lady Margaret my Patronesse that built Christes Colledge and S. Iohns in which both I had a felowship bred a familie to his fall IV. The fourth Trumpetter telleth of the Sunne Mone and Starres to be stroken for their third part Rab. El.
