beginning of the eleventh moneth of the fourtieth yeare viz. 38. years and upwards as Iun. and Ainsw observe And this may remarkably be evinced by comparing Numb 1.1 and 36.13 diligently with Deut. 1.3 which as above demonstrate both the beginning and ending of this History of Numbers Scope Lively to set forth the rich blessing of God upon Israel in their wonderfull increase his vigilant providence over them in all their wildernes journeyes and difficulties and yet his severity against their corruption for which many of them perished in the wildernesse after they had been delivered out of Egypt so that they could not enter into his rest because of their unbeliefe Heb. 3.19 Iude ver 5.

The second law or Law repeated Thus denominated by the Greek because this book containeth a Repetition of Gods law given by Moses to Israel AS in Hebrew it is sometimes from the same ground called 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 mischneh i. e. Repetition of the law From the first words in the Book it s cal'd 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Elleh Haddebarim i e. These are the words or only 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Debarim i. e. The words Penman of this Book as of all the foure former Books was Moses who also wrote the History of his own death aforehand in the last chapter by a Prophetick spirit or Ioshua wrote it for him Alsted Praecog Theol. l. 2. c. 118. This Book containes the History of but a few dayes viz. from the beginning of the eleventh moneth to about the seventh day of the twelfth moneth of the fourtieth yeare after Israels departure out of Egypt for Moses began to speak these words in the first day of the eleventh moneth of the said fourtieth yeare Deut. 1.3 which was a little before his death he died when he was one hundred and twenty years old Deut. 34.7 after which Israel mourned for Moses in the land of Moab thirty dayes Deut. 34.8 this determines the time of the History As Iun. well observes Thus Alsted in Praecog Theol. l. 2. c. 118. computes the time of this History viz. 1. The first Part of this Book containes the History of the first day of the eleventh moneth of the fourtieth yeare after their coming out of Egypt c. 1 2 3 4. 2. The second part contains the History of the second day c. 5. to 11 3. The third part containes the History as is probable of foure dayes at most c. 11. to 26. 4.

The 7 th part contains the History of their mourning for Moses thirty daies c. 34. Proofe hereof may be drawn from the History of Ioshua by computing backwards from the day of the Passeover For in the land of Canaan the first Passeover was celebrated in the one and fourtieth year after Israels coming ou● of Egypt on the fourteenth day of the moneth Nisan Josh. 5 10. Before which they were circumcised which probably took up foure dayes Josh. 5. One day they were passing thorough Jordan two dayes in preparation for it Adde to these the time of searching out the land and lastly the thirty dayes mourning And thus going backwards we shall find that Deuteronomie containes an History of but a very few dayes Scope That the law formerly given of God may by this New Repetition of it be more declared confirmed and applied to the present condition of Israel and they thereby fitted and better prepared for the promised Canaan upon which they were entring Principall Parts are The Preface Narration and Conclusion of the Book I. Preface or Prologue c. 1. to 5. contayning 1. A Narration 1. Of Gods calling of Israel from Horeb to the promised Land c. 1. 2.

hundred ninety and nine years But Paul in his Sermon at Antioch saith And when he had destroyed seven Nations in the Land of Canaan he divided their Land to them by Lot And after that he gave unto them Iudges about the space of foure hundred and fifty years untill Samuel the Prophet Here seems to be a great opposition but if things be well examined there is none at all Yet it may not be dissembled that this is so hard a knot that it much puzzles writers satisfactorily to unty it 1 Partly because this Computation of 450. years is so punctually confuted by this text viz. to begin after Canaan was divided by Lot and to end at Samuel exclusively 〈◊〉 Partly Because that noted Chronology mentioned in 1 King 6.1 assures us expresly That the time from Israels coming out of Egypt till the beginning of the building of the Temple in the fourth yeere of Solomon was precisely but 480. yeeres But if we allow for the time of the Iudges 450. yeers in this account we shal find the whole time from going out of Aegypt till the Temples founding will arise to 591 yeeres in all viz. From Their departure out of Aegypt till their entrance into Canaan 40. yeere Thence to Ioshuah's death about 17. y. Thence to Elies death for Samuels time is included in Sauls Reigne Act. 13.21 according to this supposition 450. y. Thence to the Death of David 80. y. Thence to the founding of the Temple in Solomons fourth yeere 4. y. In all 591. yeeres So that in these regards it is no easie matter clearly and undoubtedly to reconcile these times Many opinions are offered in Writers to this end yet most of them if not all labour under some inconvenience or other To omit the variety of opinions Let it suffice to mention only two which learned men seem most to incline unto Some thinke that here Paul intended not to reckon up the time while the Iudges ruled because so it were impossible to reconcile these foure hundred and fifty years with those foure hundred and eighty years in 1 King 6.1 as hath been intimated but to point out at what time God gave Israel Judges viz. after these things w ch were declared v 17 18 19. viz. from the birth of Isaac which seems to be noted in that phrase God chose our fathers v. 17. among all people God choosing Abraham among all Abrahams children choosing Isaac and making a Covenant with him till the beginning of Iudges which is computed to be foure hundred fourty seven years that 's about foure hundred and fifty years wants but three years and its usuall in Scripture to put the round number for the punctuall number This Computation they make thus From Isaac's birth to Iacobs birth yeers 60. From Iacobs birth to the going down into Egypt 130. Thence to the Comming forth of Egypt 210. Thence to the entring into the land of Canaan 40. Thence to the dividing of the Land by Lot 7. Which make up in all 447. But this opinion is attended with these two inconveniences 1. The present text in the Acts seems plainly to confine us for these foure hundred and fifty years between the dividing of the land of Canaan by Lot and the beginning of Samuels Rule which limits this Computation transgresseth 2. The number computed doth not exactly amount to foure hundred and fifty wants three Others therefore to avoid these inconveniences confine and bound their computation according to this text to the space of time betwixt the dividing Canaan by Lot and Samuels Rule And they thinke Paul reckoned up all the years mentioned in the Judges and so they compute both the years of the Judges and the years of Israels oppressours distinctly and severally though the years of the Oppressours are indeed comprized under the years of the Iudges and both together do punctually make up the foure hundred and fifty years here mentioned in the Acts. As followeth The Iudges mentioned in the Book of Iudges governed in all 299. years To these adde the fourty years of Eli who so long judged Israel 1 Sam. 4.18 40. So the whole time of the Iudges rule till Samuel was 339. Israels Oppressours were 1. Cushan who oppressed them Iudges 38. 8 years 2. Moab Iudg. 3.14 18. 3. Iabin Iudg. 4.3 ●0 4. Midian Iudg. 6. ● 7. 5. Ammon Iudg. 10.8 18. 6. Philistims Iudg. 13.1 40. So the whole time of their Oppressors was 111. Now adde these together viz. the years of their Iudges and the years of their Oppressours three hundred thirty and nine and one hundred and eleven and the totall resulting is foure hundred and fifty years exactly only th●s inconvenience remaines the same years are reckoned twice over yet it is not in the same but several respects Now if out of the number of years from departure out of Egypt till the Founding of the Temple as first computed viz. 591 You subduct the years of the Oppressours of Israel under their Iudges which seems to be twice reckoned up viz. one hundred and eleven years The remaine is just foure hundred and eighty years according to that of 1 Kings 6.1 And so the Scripture on all sides are reconciled accurately And therefore this opinion seems most to be embraced VIII Rule Learne that excellent Art of explaining and understanding the Scriptures by the Scriptures The Scriptures in some places speak more darkly and dubiously in other places they expresse the same things more clearly and certainly the doubtfull are to be explained by the certaine as darke places by those that are clear As Augustine noteth As Peter being to prove to the Iewes Christs resurrection by Scripture viz. Thou wilt not leave my soule in hell nor suffer thine holy one to see corruption he alledgeth for clearing this another Scripture to evince that this promise was made to David concerning Christ and could not properly be intended of David himselfe Men and brethren let me speak freely to you of the Patriarch David that he is both dead and buried and his sepulchre is with us unto this day Therefore he being a Prophet and knowing that God had sworne with an oath c. Certainly Scripture is the best expounder of it self Scripture-exposition of it self as Augustine and before him Irenaeus observed is most regular and safe Let us saith Chrysostome attend to the Scope of Scripture which interprets it selfe and suffers not his hearer to erre The gold was not sanctified saith Origen without the Temple no more any sense but what is drawn out of the Scripture And most excellently Hilary He is the best Reader who interprets sayings by sayings who brings not an interpretation to Scripture nor imposeth a sense upon Scripture but findeth a sense in Scripture and drawes it from Scripture c. Now that we may more successefully and clearly understand Scripture by Scripture these ensueing particulars are to be observed 1. That Iesus Christ our

or they may be collected from other Scriptures or the matter of the Prophesies of which we cannot conclude altogether so cleerly These times may be referred as the Historical books to three principall Periods viz. 1. Before 2. Neere or under 3. After the Babylonish captivity And if in these three periods we parallel these Prophets with those Historical Books they will notably help to cleer and explain one another I. Before the transportation of Israel into Babylon These Prophets prophesied and wrote viz. 1. Under Vzziah King of Judah and Ieroboam the second King of Israel IONAH he prophecied before or about beginning of Ieroboams Reigne See 2 King 14 25. As Iun. noteth in Ionah 1.1 About the close of his Reigne thinkes Drusius in Quaesitis Epist. 9. 1. AMOS See Amos 1.1 2. Under Vzziah Iotham Ahaz and Hezekiah Kings of Judah and Ieroboam King of Israel HOSEA Hos. 1.1 IOEL Ioel prophesied about the same time with Hosea as is thought because the things prophecied in Ioel relate to the dayes of Vzziah and Ieroboam See Iun. Annot. in Ioel 1.1 ISAIAH Isa. 1.1 here the days of King Ieroboam are not mentioned MICHAH Only under Iotham Ahaz and Hezekiah Mich. 1.1 3. Under Iosiah IEREMIAH Till the eleventh yeere of Zedekiah Jer. 1 2 3. being compared with Ier. 51.64 Iun. Annot. ibid. LAMENTATIONS Written by Ieremiah upon occasion of King Josiah's Death 2 Chr. 35.25 ZEPHANIAH Zeph. 1.1 OBADIAH Seems to be contemporary with Ieremiah compare his prophecy with Ier. 49.7 c. And Ezek. 25. 13. c. See Iun. in Obad. 1. NAHVM About the close of Iosiah's Reigne as the matter of the Book and the harmony of the History import So Iun. in Nah. 1.1 HABBAKKVK About the end of Iosiahs Reigne or in his sons Reign Iunius in Hab. 1.1 II.

According to their Order as they are placed in our Bibles And so they are resolved into two Ranks viz. 1. The Greater Prophets viz. The foure first the Lamentations being annexed as an Appendix to Ieremiah so called not because these had greater authority then the others but from the greatnesse of their Bookes The prophecy of Isaiah being neer as big or bigger then all the lesser prophets together 2. The Lesser Prophets viz. The twelve latter Hosea c. Which were digested into one volumne of old by the Jewes called the Booke of the Prophets Act. 7.42 some of them being very small lest any of them should be lost All these books are named from their Penmen except the Lamentations I. The Greater Prophets are ●he Books of Isaiah Ieremiah Ezekiel Daniel Isaiah ISAIAH This Book is set first though in time Ionah Amos Hosea and Ioel seeme to have been before him perhaps because of the excellency of the Prophecy most frequently fully and clearly prophecying of Christ as if Christ had been exhibited already had suffered already Hence the Ancients called him Evangelisticus Propheta Propheticus Evangelista The Evangelicall Prophet and Propheticall Evangelist Or the Evangelist and Apostle of the Old Testament Christ and his Apostles greatly esteemed this Book it being oftner alledged in the New Testament then any other Book of the Old Testament except the psalms Some observe Isaiah to be quoted sixty times the Psalmes sixty foure times Alsted Ethiopians had great respect to this Book as appears Act. 8.27.28 Time of this Prophecy was in foure Kings Reigns Isa. 1.1 if we reckon from the death of Vzziah Isa. 6.1 till the fifteenth yeare of King Hezekiah when the Babilonish Ambassadours came to Hezekiah and saw all his Treasures 2 King 20. 12 13 14. He must at the least prophecy fourty five years but its probable he prophecied longer Scope To hold forth the true Messiah clearly as the only sufficient Remedy against all sin and misery Generall parts This Prophecy is either 1. Comminatory as it is for the most part till c. 40. these promises are now and then inter-woven Herein 1. The Jewes are threatned c. 1. to c. 13. 2. Enemies of the Jewesh Church are threatned for the Churches benefit c 13. to c. 29. 3. The Jewes againe are threatned with the Babylonish Captivity c. 29. to 40. 2. Promissory and that 1. For the Restauration of the Old Church of the Jews from the misery of that Captivity c. 40. to c. 49. 2. For the compleating and consummation of the Churches glory in Gospel times by Christ himselfe c. 49. to the end of the Prophecy Jeremiah JEREMIAH He was of the Towne of Anatho●h Jer. 1.1 a very young man when he began to prophesie Ier. 1.6 Time of his prophecy was in days of Iosiah Iehoiakin and Zedekiah Jer. 1.2 3. which must needs be fourty three years at least by computation both in Iudea and Egypt Scope To divorce the Iewes in his times from their many horrid sins denouncig heavy judgemenas against them But to comfort the true servants of God in their lowest misery with promises of Christ and threatnings against all their enemies Generall parts Herein are 1. The Preface containing the vocation of Ieremiah c. 1. 2 The Prophecy it self which is directed both against the Iews the enemies of the Jewes ● Against the Jews 1. in Iudea under King Iosiah c. 2. to c. 21.

Lamentations 2 Chron. 35.25 and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Echah viz. the first Hebrew word of the Book as many other Books are named by the first word of the Book This Book seems to be penned by Ieremiah the Prophet upon the death of that precious King ●osiah 2 Chron. 35.25 when the Jewes fell to their sinfull confidence in Egypt which Beginnings of sorrows and miseries gave Ieremy occasion he knowing by the spirit of Prophecy the judgments which should befall them to lament all the miseries from Iosiahs death till the destruction of the Temple and Ierusalem and captivity of the people in Babylon The foure first chapters are penned alphebetically as many Psalmes are for help of memory in such an excellent piece as this is In 1.2 4. chapters every verse begins
