yet_o will_v none_o of_o these_o measure_n reach_v to_o so_o many_o furlong_n now_o howsoever_o beza_n have_v seek_v to_o heal_v this_o difference_n by_o a_o supposal_n that_o bethany_n be_v not_o only_o the_o name_n of_o a_o town_n but_o also_o a_o tract_n or_o a_o space_n of_o ground_n that_o lie_v about_o the_o town_n as_o a_o lordship_n or_o parish_n lie_v about_o the_o village_n &_o that_o though_o the_o town_n itself_o lay_v fifteen_o furlong_n from_o jerusalem_n yet_o that_o the_o ground_n and_o demean_n that_o carry_v the_o same_o name_n reach_v within_o half_a that_o space_n to_o jerusalem_n the_o ground_n of_o such_o a_o supposal_n be_v yet_o to_o seek_v nay_o there_o be_v good_a ground_n to_o the_o contrary_n for_o first_o it_o be_v rare_a in_o scripture_n to_o find_v open_a field_n call_v by_o the_o name_n of_o a_o town_n when_o there_o be_v no_o expression_n that_o the_o field_n be_v mean_v particular_o if_o we_o shall_v reckon_v up_o all_o the_o town_n name_v in_o the_o bible_n that_o bear_v a_o beth_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o they_o as_o bethlehem_n bethshemesh_n bethsaida_n bethel_n and_o all_o the_o rest_n that_o be_v of_o the_o like_a beginning_n we_o can_v never_o find_v that_o they_o signify_v any_o thing_n but_o the_o very_a town_n itself_o and_o why_o bethany_n shall_v be_v singular_a i_o see_v no_o reason_n second_o in_o all_o the_o mention_v of_o bethany_n in_o other_o place_n in_o the_o gospel_n it_o be_v pass_v peradventure_o that_o the_o town_n be_v mean_v as_o joh._n 12.1_o mat._n 21.17_o mark_v 11.11_o matth._n 26.1_o etc._n etc._n and_o why_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v so_o also_o in_o luke_n 24.50_o have_v need_n of_o cogent_a reason_n to_o demonstrate_v three_o it_o be_v very_o questionable_a whether_o bethphage_n lie_v not_o betwixt_o jerusalem_n and_o bethany_n or_o if_o it_o do_v not_o it_o lay_v very_o little_a aside_o the_o way_n as_o may_v be_v show_v out_o of_o the_o story_n of_o christ_n ride_v into_o jerusalem_n matth._n 21.1_o luke_n 19.29_o compare_v with_o joh._n 12.1_o and_o therefore_o that_o be_v like_a to_o cut_v off_o the_o name_n of_o bethany_n that_o it_o shall_v not_o reach_v far_o in_o the_o field_n towards_o the_o city_n for_o christ_n lie_v in_o bethany_n all_o night_n joh._n 12.1_o and_o on_o the_o morning_n be_v go_v some_o way_n towards_o jerusalem_n before_o he_o meet_v with_o the_o ass_n on_o which_o he_o ride_v which_o he_o have_v command_v his_o disciple_n to_o fetch_v from_o bethpage_n which_o be_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d before_o they_o as_o the_o syrian_a well_o render_v it_o that_o be_v either_o direct_o in_o their_o way_n to_o jerusalem_n or_o very_o little_a off_o it_o as_o they_o be_v now_o set_v out_o of_o bethany_n thither_o and_o this_o be_v confirm_v by_o the_o gloss_n upon_o the_o gomar●_n in_o sanhedrin_n porch_n 1._o where_o mention_n be_v make_v of_o bethphage_n in_o the_o text_n the_o scholiast_n say_v bethphage_n be_v a_o place_n before_o the_o wall_n of_o the_o city_n and_o govern_v as_o jerusalem_n in_o all_o thing_n it_o be_v therefore_o of_o the_o most_o probability_n that_o christ_n when_o he_o ascend_v lead_v out_o his_o disciple_n to_o bethany_n town_n fifteen_o furlong_n from_o jerusalem_n or_o thereabouts_o and_o that_o very_a way_n that_o he_o have_v riden_v triumphant_o into_o the_o city_n seven_o and_o forty_o day_n ago_o he_o go_v now_o again_o to_o ride_v more_o triumphant_o into_o heaven_n the_o text_n then_o that_o we_o have_v in_o hand_n do_v not_o measure_v the_o space_n from_o the_o city_n to_o bethany_n where_o christ_n ascend_v but_o from_o the_o city_n to_o the_o foot_n of_o mount_n clivet_n on_o which_o mount_n bethany_n stand_v and_o the_o measure_n he_o make_v of_o it_o be_v two_o thousand_o common_a cubit_n or_o about_o five_o furlong_n and_o so_o we_o have_v do_v with_o two_o of_o the_o query_n that_o be_v propose_v but_o now_o why_o he_o shall_v measure_v this_o space_n at_o this_o time_n rather_o than_o any_o other_o and_o why_o by_o the_o title_n of_o a_o sabbath_n day_n journey_n rather_o than_o any_o other_o measure_n remain_v yet_o to_o be_v inquire_v after_o this_o evangelist_n have_v divers_a time_n in_o his_o gospel_n mention_v this_o mount_n as_o be_v show_v before_o but_o never_o show_v the_o situation_n or_o distance_n of_o it_o from_o the_o city_n till_o now_o and_o that_o may_v be_v a_o reason_n why_o he_o do_v it_o here_o be_v the_o last_o time_n that_o ever_o he_o be_v to_o mention_v it_o in_o all_o his_o write_n and_o that_o one_o place_n may_v explain_v another_o namely_o that_o from_o this_o text_n the_o several_a passage_n do_v on_o mount_n olivet_n which_o be_v mention_v in_o his_o gospel_n may_v receive_v some_o illustration_n and_o it_o may_v be_v know_v how_o far_o they_o be_v act_v from_o jerusalem_n or_o at_o the_o least_o guess_v how_o far_o it_o be_v from_o hence_o determine_v how_o far_o the_o foot_n of_o olivet_n be_v distant_a from_o it_o it_o have_v be_v indeed_o as_o ready_a to_o have_v say_v they_o return_v from_o bethany_n which_o be_v from_o jerusalem_n about_o fifteen_o furlong_n but_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v not_o so_o careful_a to_o measure_v the_o distance_n from_o the_o place_n of_o christ_n ascension_n it_o may_v be_v for_o the_o same_o reason_n that_o he_o conceal_v the_o grave_n of_o moses_n for_o fear_n of_o superstition_n as_o to_o measure_n from_o olivet_n where_o so_o many_o and_o remarkable_a occurrence_n beside_o christ_n ascension_n have_v pass_v and_o be_v do_v by_o he_o why_o he_o measure_v it_o by_o the_o title_n of_o sabbath_n day_n journey_n rather_o than_o by_o any_o other_o measure_n as_o of_o pace_n furlong_n or_o the_o like_a since_o this_o day_n that_o be_v speak_v of_o be_v not_o a_o sabbath_n we_o dare_v not_o be_v too_o curious_a to_o determine_v only_o to_o conjecture_v it_o be_v very_o probable_a that_o this_o be_v the_o common_a walk_n of_o the_o people_n of_o jerusalem_n on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n in_o pleasant_a weather_n for_o their_o meditation_n when_o they_o have_v do_v the_o public_a duty_n of_o the_o day_n for_o so_o it_o be_v say_v of_o christ_n that_o he_o often_o resort_v to_o a_o garden_n of_o gethsemani_n with_o his_o disciple_n joh._n 18.2_o and_o though_o it_o be_v not_o certain_a whether_o he_o do_v on_o the_o sabbath_n yet_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o he_o do_v on_o the_o passover_n night_n after_o he_o and_o his_o disciple_n have_v do_v the_o work_n of_o the_o day_n and_o ordinance_n and_o that_o time_n of_o the_o day_n fall_v under_o the_o same_o obligation_n that_o the_o sabbath_n do_v in_o this_o particular_a for_o as_o be_v observe_v even_o now_o out_o of_o the_o chaldee_n paraphra_v not_o only_o on_o the_o sabbath_n but_o also_o on_o other_o holy_a day_n it_o be_v not_o lawful_a to_o walk_v above_o two_o thousand_o cubit_n and_o this_o time_n that_o our_o saviour_n set_v thither_o be_v the_o beginning_n of_o such_o a_o day_n namely_o of_o the_o first_o day_n in_o the_o passeover_n week_n which_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v as_o a_o sabbath_n leu._n 23.7_o and_o that_o day_n be_v begin_v at_o that_o even_o when_o our_o saviour_n go_v out_o to_o gethsemani_n to_o pray_v and_o though_o judas_n slip_v from_o behind_o his_o master_n after_o they_o be_v rise_v from_o the_o table_n and_o come_v out_o of_o the_o house_n and_o when_o he_o shall_v have_v go_v out_o of_o the_o city_n with_o he_o he_o step_v aside_o into_o the_o city_n and_o get_v his_o curse_a train_n up_o to_o go_v to_o apprehend_v jesus_n yet_o the_o text_n assure_v we_o joh._n 18.2_o that_o judas_n know_v where_o to_o have_v he_o though_o he_o go_v not_o to_o observe_v whither_o he_o will_v go_v because_o that_o that_o be_v our_o saviour_n common_a retire_a place_n upon_o such_o occasion_n and_o so_o may_v we_o conceive_v it_o be_v the_o common_a haunt_n of_o other_o of_o the_o city_n upon_o such_o time_n and_o such_o occasion_n of_o prayer_n and_o meditation_n to_o resort_v thither_o for_o the_o delightsomeness_n of_o the_o place_n and_o the_o helpfulnesse_n of_o it_o by_o the_o delight_n and_o solitariness_n to_o contemplation_n and_o therefore_o the_o evangelist_n may_v be_v conceive_v to_o use_v this_o expression_n for_o the_o measure_n betwixt_o it_o and_o the_o city_n a_o sabbath_n day_n journey_n
