That Kittim shall afflict Heber but he shall perishin in the end So there vnder the terme of Kittim the Italians afflicting the Church of God vnto the end of the world are signified So by this wee see the generalitie of this rule that Moses saw the summe of saluation for he saw the fall and restoring of Adam the destruction of the world by the flood how the families fell away in flowting Sem and their curse by their scattering and the calling of the heathen I will prouoke you by a foolish Nation and by those who are not my people This sentence out of Deut. 13. Saint Paul cyteth Rom. 10. to prooue that the Gentiles likewise were elected and should bee called in the time appointed Amongst the Iewes Moses was had in such reuerence that they haue cast all his sentences into numbers for whereas wee vse figures they vse the Hebrew letters and so exactly that if any letter or vowell be either added or left out they can presently tell Withall they are so perfect that they will tell where their Prophets tooke from Moses By this obseruation Sanctus Pagninus giueth a rule that the truth of the Scriptures will neuer appeare in her right cleerenesse neither by the Latine translation nor by the exposition of the Fathers for the Latine it is not agreeable with the Hebrew For the Fathers because the most of them are verie ignorant in the storie therfore many things they expound by allegories which should by storie and euent be manifested so to haue come to passe As where Iacob prophecying of Iudah Gen. 49. describeth the pleasantnesse and fertilitie of the soyle by these circumstances Hee shall wash his garments in wine and his mantle in the blood of grapes The Fathers make an Allegorie of this and apply it to the passion of Christ but of what force is this exposition against the Turke Now followeth to be handled the standings in the Wildernesse THere were two and fortie Standings in the Wildernesse Wee must obserue that it is not lawfull to frame Allegories out of our own braine for it is ynough for vs to embrace those which the scripture hath laide downe We must further note that the plaine expounding of a storie is no allegorie And when we shall finde things diuers times repeated we must know that it is done to this end that we might the better remember our owne estate and therefore they are directions vnto vs. This is prooued by Saint Paul in the Epistle to the Corinthians where hee calleth these Standings in the Wildernesse a stampe of our owne nature This may serue for an introduction into the treatise following The text noteth that where the cloude stood still there they pitched their Tents In the mention of these Standings in Numbers there be some places rehearsed which are not repeated in the former description to wit in Exodus We may not gather from hence any contrarietie but we must learne that those places which are not repeated again are some little Townes or Villages hard by as well knowne as the other and as it were the verie same and then it is free to vse the one or the other The Standings are Two and Fortie for comparison with these you haue Two and Fortie bowles knobs and flowers in the Candlesticke of the Tabernacle 42 Of Omri Sonnes slaine 42 Children destroyed by Beares 42 Generations of Christs kindred from Abraham Saint Augustine saith that the numbers in the Scripture containe rare and excellent matters euen the rudest of them This opinion of Saint Augustine in this number of Two and Fortie will prooue true For this Two and Fortie consisteth of sixe Seuens which number of Sixe and of Seuen keepeth in memorie the Creation By this the Nations are compelled to admire the wisedome of God in the Creation for they could not thinke that it came by chaunce that there should bee iust Two and Fortie Standings in the Wildernesse and no more Iob sayth of God O thou that doest order all my steps And if in our life we meditate on these Two and Fortie Standings we will endeuour to auoid the like sins which the Israelites cōmitted in the Wildernesse least wee be ouertaken with their punishments The place was diuers and variable sometimes pleasant and sometimes vnpleasant so is it with vs in our life and in this we see our pilgrimage resembled If we consider the place it selfe it was the fittest for to teach all Nations from this storie the true Religion seeing they were either borderers or came thither On the one side was Ismael called also Pharan on the other side Esau named also Iumea By it Madian where Moses tooke his wife Sinay also where the Lawe was giuen Iacobs Sonnes dwelt thereabout Arabia was neere which Saint Paul in the Galathians calleth a mixed Nation Na●ors twelue Kings thereabouts Moab and Ammon there This in generall for the place Now follow the Standings THe first Station was Ramesis which signifieth Wormes This is handled where we are admonished not to lay vp our treasure in this life where wormes and rust consume but in heauen where these things annoy vs not 2.

Piahiroth Which signifieth Contention There Egypt stroue with Israel and they murmured against Moses whereof the name was afterwards giuen to that place They goe thorough the red Sea the seuenth day of vnleauened bread as the Iewes hold with one consent By faith they passed through the red Sea as by drie land which when the Egiptians assayed they were drowned Heb. 11. Our Fathers were all vnder the cloud and all passed through the Red Sea and were all baptised vnto Moses in the Sea 1. Cor. 10. 5. Marah Which signifieth Bitternesse There they could find no waters to drinke for the waters were bitter therefore the place was called Marah and they murmured against Moses as Saint Paul testifieth Let vs not murmure as some of them murmured and were destroyed of the destroyer 1. Cor. 10.10 The next is Elim Grace Where were Twelue Fountaines of waters and Seuentie Palme trees Thus we see that none can come to Elim Grace but first they must abide pouertie

Come downe and sitte in the dust O Virgin daughter Bahel sitte on the ground there is no throne O Daughter of the Caldeans for thou shalt no more be called tender and delicate Take the mill stones and grinde meale loose thy lockes make bare thy feete vncouer the leg and passe through the flouds Thy filthinesse shall be discouered and thy shame shall be seene I will take vengeance and not meete thee as a man meaning that he would vse no humanity nor pittie towardes it Our Redeemer the Lord of hostes is his name the Holy one of Israel Sit still and get thee into darknesse O daughter of the Caldeans for thou shalt no more be called the Lady of Kingdomes I was wrath with my people I polluted mine inheritance and gaue them into thine hands and thou diddest shew them no mercie but thou laidst the very heauie yoke vpon the ancient and thou saidst I shall be a Lady for euer so that thou didst not set thy heart to these things neither didst thou remember the latter end thereof Therefore now heare thou that art giuen to pleasures and dwellest carelesse Thou saist in thy heart I am and none else I shall not sit as a widdowe neither shall know the losse of children but these two things shall come to thee in one day the losse of children and widdowhood for the multitude of the diuinations and for the great abundance of thine enchanters haue caused thee to rebell and thou hast said in thy heart I am and none else Stand now among thy enchanters and in the multitude of thy sooth-sayers let now the Astrologers the starre gasers and Prognosticators stand vp and saue thee from these things Behold they shall be as stubble they shall burne like fire and shall not deliuer their owne liues from the power of the flame For Babell is fallen it is fallen and all the images of her Gods are broken to the ground this is the time of the Lords vengeance he will render vnto her a recompence Babell hath beene as a golden cuppe in the Lords hand that made all the earth drunken the Nations haue drunke of her wine therefore doe the Nations rage Babell is sodainely fallen and destroyed howle for her bring balme for her sore if she may be healed We would haue cured Babell but shee could not be healed Forsake her and let euery one goe into his own cuntrey for her iudgment is come vp into heauen and is lifted vp to the clowds O thou that dwellest vpon many waters aboundant in treasures thy end is come euen the end of thy couetousnesse Behold I come vnto thee O destroying mountaine which destroyest all the earth saith the Lord and I will stretch out my hand vpon thee and roll thee downe from the rockes and will make thee a burnt mountaine They shall not take of thee a stone for a corner nor a stone for foundations but thou shalt bee destroyed for euer saith the Lord.
