had expresse charge to Write for the very last the yeere since the creation of the World 2513. and of his life the 80. yeere and hath continued his Holy Stories euen to the yeere of his Death and of the world 2553. Now since that time GOD hath alwayes so prouided for the aduancement of his Glory and the edification of his Church that the perpetuall History of her and the certaine account of the yeeres of the World hath beene continued and still put in Writing by his Prophets As it is to bee seene in the Holy Bookes that treate and contayne the Gouernment of Ioshua and the Iudges then to Samuel and the Kings of the People vnto the transmigration into Babylon and of other Gouernors which haue succeeded them after their returne from thence And finally the Prophet Daniel hath declared the rest of the time that is The 490. yeeres since the sayd Deliuerance of the Iewes and returne from Babylon by the meanes of Cyrus Daniel 9. King of Persia euen to the Death and Resurrection of Christ the Redeemer promised to the holy Fathers which is our Lord Iesus the eternall Sonne of God true God and true Man who appeared liuing after his Luk 24. 1 Cor. 15. Death and Resurrection to more then fiue hundred faithfull Witnesses at one time besides his other manifestations and mounted visibly into Heauen in the yeere of the World 3961. Now if wee will search all the Histories of all the Nations of the World of whom the Writings are ariued to our Age the most Ancient time of which they make mention shal be of their Antique destruction of Troy by the Greekes The History whereof hath beene written by Dictis of the I le of Creet which is the best Testimony they haue for the present and since by Homer and many others And from this Destruction Diodorus Siculus renowned amongst the Historians began his Bookes now the same according with the common Iudgement and Calculation of knowing men comes onely to be about 358. yeeres before the building of Rome the same time then falls● to bee in the 16. yeere of the Gouernment of Elon Iudge of the People of Iudge● 12 Israel mentioned in the Booke of Iudges And the same was 316 yeeres before the first Olympiade the reckoning of the Annalls of the Greekes So then the sayd Destruction of Troy falls to be onely vnder the yeere of the World 2838. when therefore wee shall giue consent that their Writings the most certaine whose Narrations wee may best giue credit vnto● Yet the Prophet Moses shal be found much more Auncient then all the Writers of the World what Nation soeuer though they are in great number and of whom wee see yet the Old Bookes in these last times in their proper Tongues And that hee hath put his hand to the Pen and began to Write his Diuine Reuelations of the Creation and Conduct of the World euen to his time and his sacred History and Prophesies touching the Church of GOD shall at least bee 325 yeeres before all other Writers of whom there is any mention or newes in the World that is to say in the yeere of the World 25●3 Whereupon wee note euen to this Present against all those prophane mockers that haue disgorged that enormious blasphemy amongst others that the World is eternall and of it selfe which if it were so as they dreame and that it had no such beginning as is written by Moses they might finde then by all and in all Languages many Histories of infinite times and many Chronicles of many Ages and of old times that haue praeceded Moses in the account of yeeres But wee see that there is no such and that the Holy Bible is found euen in the middle amongst all sorts of enemies that str●ue to destroy loose abollish burne and extermine from the World the Bookes of it and for all thereto they had so long time yet neuerthelesse they neuer could nor euer shall For wee see the sayd Bible yet in his proper Writing and Language and of all others of what Nation soeuer the most celebrated and renowned And if they could finde any History which had beene written before Moses was borne into the World yet shall it contayne their time and composition with more yeeres and ages as wee can gather from the Holy Scriptures euen to this present yeere 1633. since the Natiuity of Christ The which account of times past from the Creation vnto this present yeere shall come to amount to 5563 yeeres but such Histories neyther can bee found nor euer were But for Moses and his faithfull Writings euen prophane Authors and Histories of the Gentiles themselues haue beene euen as it were ●iuinely constrayned to ●ea●e testimony ma●ger their Cal●mnies Lye● Dreames and Disguisings through and by the Invincible force of Truth And so they haue serued for Certificates to all Nations of the venerable and well knowne Antiquity of him and his Holy Writs For some of them haue noted and writ thus as a thing notorious of their times to witt That is the East Trogus Iustinus parts and of Sy●ia it selfe there had beene an Abraham an Israel and euen a Ioseph who say they was a Sonne of the sayd Israel sold by his brethren and led into Aegypt Then how hee was receiued into the Court and held very dearely with the King to whom hee foretold the grieuous and great famine so as without the diuine Counsell by him giuen whereupon the admonished King gathered vp and made reseruation of Corne before the time of the sayd Fami●e Aegypt had perished And finally how his Successor Moses and all his People issued out of Aegypt came to Mount Syna how they consecrated the Seuenth day for their Sabbaoth or Resting day● But I wil leaue this Discourse though diuersified from a spark of Truth that these Historians haue mixed with their owne deuices as propha●●e and in which they were poorely Aduertised and deceiued by the subtilty of Sathan as we may well know by conferring their VVriting with the Holy Bible And bee it that these Scoffer● of GOD and his Holy Word dare be so bold to say and calumniate that MOSES and his haue suppressed and abolished all praece●ent Histories making their Writings to be before all others thereby to Authorize them the better but wee will leaue those their calumnies to the iudgement of any of sound sense and vnderstanding If that could be or can haue any place or shaddow of beliefe amongst men of sound iudgement or reasonable Discourse for if they wil put into mature consideration the small meanes and contemptible quality in the world of these poore Israelites but Shepheards and breeders of Cattle and which is worse people exposed to the oppressions and hard seruitude vnder their puissant Enemies and euill disposed Neighbours Then who shall make comparison of them with great Kings and people of the Earth Babilonians Aegytians Syrians Romans and other Potentates who with all their Authority

To the other What meanes he should not to be deceiued IF you do all things by reason you will not suffer your selfe to be perswaded by the reports of detractors but as you are indowed with a very good spirit put a difference betwixt the deedes and sayings of euery one By the meanes whereof you shall so doing that you shal bee out of the danger of being circumuented accomplishing your desires in your designes the which you shall proiect by assured iudgement neuerthelesse you must resolue and thinke that the intelligence of such businesse and the effect and execution of them is the worke of the Diuine puissance To the other What he should do not to be Cholericke at all GReat King if you consider that Hee of whom Dependeth the Life of many is the cause of the Death of abundance of folkes when he executeth his Will with fury and choller and it is a thing accursed to extinguish the life of many by ambition of domination● But when the subiects conforme themselues to the will of the Prince humbly yeelding and obaying What reason hath hee then to vexe himselfe and to enter into Choller Moreouer hee must thinke that GOD who guideth and Gouerneth the Vniuersall world is not any way subiect vnto Wrath nor heated with Choller of whom a Prince ought to follow the benigne and sweete goodnesse To the other What thing is that which may well be fore-seene by good Counsell THat is to Administer well all things by the Rule and Discourse of Reason and to conduct them to a certayne end and designe pretended and to reiect all that which is Vnprofitable and contrary to right and reason in such manner that discouering the Spirit by euery thing wee come to the head of our affayres by good Counsell But GOD by his Vertue makes all counsell assured and firme and yours principally because you are giuen to the exercise of Piety To the other What is it to Philosophize THat is Well and Wisely to argue and consult of all things which present themselues and come vppon one and not to suffer ones selfe to ●lide along in his Appetites to des●se all follies and vanities proceeding from Couetousnesse and Lusts and to bee alwayes ready to the accomplishment of good Workes by good and iust measure which to attayne vnto wee ought to implore the ayde of GOD incessantly To the other What is the Soueraigne grace of Hospitality IT is to shewe one● selfe not to be ingratfull but mensurable and equitable to all the World redoubling with bounty the pleasure you haue receiued from another in such sort as you may beare the prize of Courtesie For GOD exalteth the humble greatly bearing great fauour and loue to those abate themselues to exalt and shewe Vertue to others To the other What are the workes of most Durability A Person is esteemed to do a du 〈…〉 Worke when he hath brought to passe a weighty businesse and worthy of Reuerence and when it is such as the Beholders durst not put their hands to it for the difficulty and excellency of the businesse and that he neuerthelesse suffers not any body that hath trauelled therein to be vnrecompensed Likewise forgetting not to prouide for those that hee hath constrayned to busie themselues therein of all things to them necessary For GOD regarding all things in this world gratifieth men with Infinity of gifts enlarging to some health of Body and of Vnderstanding and many such goods Wherefore Great King you in the imitation of GOD ought to giue comfort to the afflicted and to change their calamities into solace and rest being assured that what is done by iustice and equity is of longest lasting euen perpetuall To the other What is the fruite of Wisedome THe fruite of Wisedome is when wee haue committed nothing whereof our conscience doth not remember vs knowingly and when we haue passed the course of our liues in ●●rity For of such things Excel●ent King there is ingendred in our spirits a very great contentment and an infinite ioy with a pleasant voluptabitity For you Great King you can neuer want hope in GOD conducting your Raigne in Piety and Religion These Answers heard all the assistants made signes of great Iouisance with an applauding approbation Then the King prouoked them graciously to drinke The morrow when all the company returned to the Table the King asked the others in this manner What meanes hee should hold neuer to be lifted vp with Pride YOu shall neuer bee blowne vp or lifted with Pride if you keepe equally in your selfe that is to say if in all things you haue this Maxi●e imprinted in your spirit that you which haue commandement vpon Men consider you are a Man also● thinking
