are made (t) Apo. 21.9 the Bride Spouse of Christ which vnion is most honourable To conclude this point the u) Gen. 41.46 afflictions of Ioseph and his miserie did continue but for a short time till hee was 30. yeares of age and of them but 14. but his prosperitie lasted vnto the day of his death which was in the hūdred and tenth yeare of his age Euen so the Saints vpon earth weare crownes of thornes vpon their heads carrie Christs Crosse vpon their shoulders only threescore ten yeares which are ordinarilie as Dauid saith the dayes of man but they shall weare crownes of golde and carrie Palme-branches in their hands which are the signes of glorie and immortalitie for euer and therefore S. Paul saith x) Rom. 8. ●8 I count that the afflictions of this present time are not worthy of the glorie which shall be shewe ●●to vs and in another place he saith (y] 2 Cor. 4.17 Ou● light afflicti●● which is but for a moment causeth vnto vs a farre more excellent and an eternall waight of glorie The third generall part of Iacobs speech being a Benediction or Blessing lieth in these wordes Euen by the GOD of thy Father who shall helpe thee and by the Almightie who shall blesse th●ewith heauenly Blessings from aboue with blessings of the deepe that lyeth beneath with blessings of the breasts and of the wombe The blessings of thy Father shall be stronger then the blessings of mine Elders Vnto the ende of the Hilles of the world they shall be on the head of Ioseph and on the toppe of the head of him that was separate from his brethren The Blessings that Iacob bequeatheth vnto Ioseph are of God hee onely being the Heralde to deliuer them And therefore hee saith The Almightie shall helpe thee the Almightie shall blesse thee And these Blessings are in number three First Ioseph is blest with a Blessing from aboue or from heauen whereby is vnderstoode not onely the pleasant showers and Raine wherewith the portion of his posteritie should be watered but also the goodnes and wholsomnes of the aire the sweet influence of the starres as Moses more at large explaneth this prophecie saying (z] Deut. 33 13.14 Blessed of the Lord is his land for the sweetnes of heauen for the dew for the sweete increase of the Sunne for the sweete increase of the Moone (a] 1. Reg. 17 To want raine is the empouerishment of the earth and drought bringeth Famine And therefore such as will not obserue and keepe the Commaundements of God are thus threatned (b] Deut. 28.24.23 The Lord shall giue thee for the raine of thy Land dust and Ashes euen from heauen shall it come downe vpon thee vntill thou bee destroyed the Heauen ouer thy head shal be brasse and the earth that is vnder thee yron Of the contrary part moderate raine and showers ma●e the earth fruitfull and cause plentie And therefore the Lord saith that vnto such as feare him and call vpon his Name (c] Deut. 28.22 Hee will open his good Treasure euen the Heauen to giue Raine vnto their Land in due season This then is Iosephs first blessing that his Children shall dwell in a Land the Climate whereof shall be wondrous pleasant and the soyle verie fertile Secondly hee is blest with the Blessing of the Depth that lyeth beneath by which is meant the Riuers and Springs which doe arise from beneath and water the earth Such Countreyes as haue store of Riuers and Springs are euer accounted the most pleasant and the most plentifull of all things and for this cause they bee called Paradises As it may appeare by that description of Sodome and Gomorrha made by Moses where hee saith (d] Gen. 13.10 So when Lot lifted vp his eyes hee saw that all the plaine of Iordane was watered euery where For before the Lord destroyed Sodome and Gomorrha it was as the Paradise or the Garden of the Lorde (e] Gen. 2. The garden of Eden which God planted and wherein Adam and Heuah were placed because it was so well watered is ordinaarilie called Paradise which worde as some thinke is deriued from the Hebrewe worde Pardes which signifieth A Garden or place inclosed for pleasure Some will haue it to be a Persian word Septuag interp Iul. pollux li. 2. Onoma because Xenophon and Philostratus called such places as were made and planted for the delight of the Persian Kings Paradises and others as Suidas draw it frō the greeke verbe Paradeúein which is to water So euery Countrey that is well watered and moystened with Springs as the Garden of Eden was with these foure riuers Pishon Gihon Hiddekel and Perath may rightly be called a Paradice both in regarde of profite pleasure with the possession of such a Prouince as Iacob saith the Tribe of Ioseph shall be blessed and endowed Thirdly he is blest with the Blessings of the Breasts and of the wombe God made the womb to beare the brests to giue sucke by these two then is signified not onely the plentifull increase prosperous education of Children but the multiplying also of Beasts and cattell This is one of those blessings which God promiseth vnto such as cleaue vnto him and obey his voyce So saith Moses The Lorde shall make thee plenteous in goods in the fruite of thy bodie in the fruit of thy Cattell And the prophet Dauid amongst other Blessings reckoneth vp these two First the increase of children for hee saith (f) Psal 128 1.2.3 Blessed is euery one that feareth the Lorde and walketh in his wayes when thou eatest the labours of thine hands thou shalt be blessed and it shall be well with thee thy Wife shall bee as the fruitefull vine on the sides of thine house and thy Children like the Oliue plantes round about thy Table And secondly the multiplying of Cattell for he counteth it a great happinesse when (g] Ps 65.13 the Oxen are strong to labour when the Pastures are clad with Sheepe and when they bring forth thousandes and tenne thousandes in the streetes As the increase of the wombe is a blessing So contrariwise Barrennesse is a punishment not onely in women but also in dumbe creatures And therefore because the Ephraimites did forsake God and went to Baal-peor Hoseah the Prophet prayeth against them h) Hos 9.14 O Lorde giue them what wilt thou giue them Giue them a barren wombe and drie Breastes which is as if he should haue saide O Lord turne Iacobs blessing vpon Iosephs posteritie into a Curse because of their Idolatrie Also Moses saith (i) Deut. 28.18 If thou wilt not obey the voyce of the Lorde thy God to keepe and to doe all his Commaundements and Ordinances Cursed shall bee the fruite of thy bodie and the fruite of thy Lande the increase of Kyne and the flockes of thy Sheepe These are the great Blessings giuen vnto Ioseph being so much
