not stick to the Body of the Heaven that is to say The Sun the Moon Mars Mercury Bell that is Jupiter Balti which is Aphrodite Saturu who is Cheon and from the Twelve Signs of the Zodiack in Heaven Aries Taurus the two Images which are Gemini Cancer Leo Spica that is Virgo Spicifera Libra that is a Ballance Scorpia the great Image that is Sagittary Capricorn Aquarius Pisces and we say that the Seven proceed from East to West and Twelve from West to East with the Body of Heaven which turns as the Circumference of a Wheel round about the Earth and the Earth being fixed as the Center of Heaven as a Ball blown up and a Grain of Millet in the midst of it And they attribute the days of the VVeek to these seven Planets the first day of the VVeek to the Sun the second to the Moon the third to

the Feet These things we have Transcribed here from the Error of the Chaldaeans to the end that none of them who are furnished with Reason may be led Captive after their Errors or rely on their Stories Julian the Heathen saith That this History of the Star is not true because Astronomers have not spoken thereof in contradiction to whom we Answer Behold the Stars have sometimes appeared upon great occasions as those which are called Lances Beames Comets therefore it was not beside order that by the good pleasure of God an unusual Star should arise at the Nativity of our Saviour and should be the Herauld when perhaps one of the Angels was Constellated and appeared to the Wise-Men only and when they proceeded was seen as the Pillar of the Cloud was to Israel so was the Star to the Wise-Men Again they said his Star and not the Star for as much as his Star did imply with a Star the person whose it was for a Star is of naked Signification and the Wise Men came to Christ that they might see him and Adore him as God and offer Gifts unto him as to a King And Herod the King heard and was troubled because he was of a strange Nation and received from Augustus the Kingdom of the Jews Unjustly he was greatly troubled and moved when he heard the report of the Birth of a King for he hoped that he had Power in the Land and was afraid least they might put him to Death and take his Kingdom Moreover he was troubled for the multitude of the Wise-Men and the Majesty of their Persons and for that in the Metropolis to Wit in the Mother of Cities they had proclaimed a King and did not inquire meerly after a King but after the King of the Jews And all Jerusalem with him Why was she troubled at the coming of a Saviour because she was unwilling to be saved she turned her face from a Redeemer By the Name of Jerusalem he signifies the Inhabitants thereof for they were troubled yet such was their Sottishness that they did not so much enquire after their Redeemer as after the Wise-Men it was troubled also as when he entered thereinto upon an Ass and that was because it envied him but as yet they shewed not their Envy for they produced Testimonies in his behalf as this That he was to be born in Bethlehem And he Assembled all the Chief Priests and the Scribes of the People that is he Assembled them all and not a part that he might not fail as to the place where he was born And he asked of them where Christ was to be Born The Wise-Men Asked concerning a King and Herod with the Priests concerning Christ from the Questions of the Wise-Men made to the Chief Priests he Learned this or from this that he had heard from those who read the Prophets that Christ was to Arise and when he saw the Wise Men he understood that he was a King and because Herod and his Councellours were troubled he did not accuse the Wise Men nor did he say unto them how is it that ye proclaim another King besides me And if he be born to the Jews what are ye concerned in the discovery of him And if ye say true shew me his Star But he dissembled that he might take him by a Wile And they said in Bethlehem Judah for they did not contest against the Interrogatory for they expected the coming of Christ and they Revealed him opportunely and alleadged the Testimony of Micah in that behalf Others say That they made the discovery out of their Envy that he might put him to death and it is manifest from hence that they did not make the Discovery concerning the King of the Edomits and others but concerning the King of the Jews Others say they being not as yet filled with Envy did reveal him because they were well pleased his Nativity should be heard of Others because they were at last to reveal him according to that From whence Christ cometh we know not and so they revealed unto them and from the Number of Weeks which the Scribes computed and from this The Scepter shall not depart from Judah and for that Herod governed as a King when the Scepter departed they knew that the time of his birth was come Also thou Bethlehem of Judah art not That is in him thou art magnified and honoured and the Nations come from the Ends of the Earth to see the Manger and the Cave wherein he was born For he shall feed my People Israel Those he calls so who beleive whether Jews or Gentiles according to Pauls interpretation Not all those who are of Israel are Israel therefore he calls the Gentiles Israel but did not so declare concerning them at the begining that the Jews might not be offended and if he were to arise from Bethlehem wherefore was his conversation in Nazareth and did the Jews forget We say that he did not conceal but reveal the Prophecy for in Nazareth he was conceived and at the time of his Nativity his Mother went up to Bethlehem and he was there for the space of Forty days and Simeon and Hannah proclaimed him in the Temple and when the Jews took no

and of Martha wherein Lazarus arose from the Dead and it is Interpreted The House of Praise and this is differing from Jerusalem and it is evident from this That when the Sinner Anointed him there he said afterwards Go unto the City and prepare the Passover for us hereby the Evangelists shewed That he sent them from Bethany to the City of Jerusalem This Simon was a Leper and was Cured and the Name of Leper remained on him perhaps for that afterwards he grew Leprous in his mind and was Scandalized in our Lord. There came unto him a Woman who had with her an Alabaster The Woman was incouraged to come unto our Lord from this That she saw he had Cured Simon the Leper and for that he had Cured many Women the Canaanite the Samaritan she that was Wounded and others and she did not come unto him as a Man but as to God made Man But some say That the Evangelists are contrary to one another by reason that Luke saith she was a Sinner and that it was in the House of Simon and in Nain but Mathew saith in Bethany in the House of Simon the Leper but doth not signifie her Name but John manifestly signifies it and saith that her Name was Mary Some say That they were two by reason of the places Others That she was one and the same she having Anointed him twice and being the Sister of Lazarus which was called Magdalen Others say That Simon the Pharisee was Simon the Leper the Father of Lazarus and Mary Others That they were three the Whores Anointed him twice and Mary once once he was Anointed at Nain and a second time by Mary the Sister of Lazarus in Bethany in the House of Lazarus her Brother six days before the Passover Luke saith That she Anointed him in the House of Simon the Pharisee John saith in Bethanie in the House of Lazarus Mathew and Mark say in the House of Simon the Leper The Lord John saith That he was Anointed twice Saint Severus unto whom we assent saith That he was Anointed thrice once at Nain as said Luke the intermediate Evangelist and it is evident from this That soon after he Raised the Lad the Son of a Widow in Nain and another time the Sister of Lazarus Anointed him in Bethanie six days before the Passover in their House when her Brother Lazarus rose from the Dead Moreover The third time in Bethanie two days before the Passover and John said that she Anointed the Feet of Christ but Mathew two days before the Passover when he was in the House of Simon the Leper there came a Woman and poured Oyl on Christ's Head as he was at Table and from that which he said to Lazarus and another to Simon and John saying That she Anointed the Feet and Mathew the Head it is clear That he was thrice Anointed and from the manner and from the Place and from the time it is evident That it was not one Anointing but three and three Women and if she who was the Sinner in Nain were the same that came unto him two days before the Passover and Anointed him There will be computed two VVomen according to the Discourse of the Lord John and three Anointings according to what Saint Severus hath written Then Judas went away That is when he saw that Simon was Cleansed and that the Woman poured out Oyntment upon him One of the Twelve That is of those who were first Elected and to whom the Mysteries were Revealed and who had freedom of Speech and was not of the Second in Order that is of the seventy and two Evangelists Judas Iscariot That is he calls him from Scariot his City and moreover That he might distinguish him from Judas the Zealous What will ye give me Heaven and Earth are too little to be the Price of what thou wert to sell because they are Creatures but he is the Creator and the Creature is not at all to be exchanged or to be a Price for the Creator it was not conceived how he should betray him who had revived three dead Men before him and had he not yielded permitted and been willing they could not have Crucified him yet in this That Judas betrayed him and the Jews Crucified him they did not perform his Will but the contrary because He for the Redemption of Men was willing to be Betrayed and Crucified but Judas and the Jews did not betray him for the Redemption of Men but to Murther him and to destroy his Name Therefore though he was willing yet they did not Act his Will but the contrary and therefore they are Accused and Condemned Satan entred into Judas and not into his Fellows because he found in him the Passion of Coveteousness Luke addeth and the Prefect of the Militia of the Temple that is an Officer of the Guard for because the Principality of the Jews was fallen away and the High-Priests were continually in Commotion among themselves the Romans placed in the Temple with them Officers of the Militia that they might not be unruly and they remained in the Temple with them And they agreed with him for thirty Pieces of Silver That is thirty Denares the Name of the Syriack Word Cospho is a generical Name and sometimes it signifies Gold sometimes Silver and also Didrachmas and Denares Moreover Thirty Pieces of Silver that is with an Inscription to wit a Sign Engraven that Represented the Prince whose Mony it was they were thirty Staters of Silver for a Stater of Silver was twenty Didrachma's so that the Value of them all was six hundred Didrachma's which make up the Sum of Thirty Denares And from that time he sought an opportunity That is a Conveniency to wit a time and season free from the Clamour or Tumult of many Moreover He sought a time when the people and multitude which he taught might not be found with him because he was afraid of the people One of ye shall betray me Hitherto he spoke Mystically concerning his being to be betrayed but here plainly and by these Words One of ye he troubled them all every one of them was afraid of himself lest it might be lie and by this that he said one of all them he shewed that he did not mistake who it was but he did not Publish him in respect that he might be Converted and he terrified them all that he might preserve him And they were very sad Fear and grief laid hold on them and they began to say unto him every one of them particularly for they believed his VVords more than their Knowledg and they Confessed that he knew them better than they knew themselves John They looked one upon another because they knew not of whom he spoke and every one asked in the behalf of himself Then he Answered and said He who dips his Hand with me in the Dish That is he detected him that his Fellows might not dye with fear and he struck him with the Name
