story whensoeuer they heare any man speake in an other tongue which they vnderstand not For entring into the consideration thereof they are driuen presently to examine the storie of the Gen. ●0 in which they may see the iust and seuere dealing of God to such as enuie the blessing of their brother for going from sinne to sinne they had their tongues diuided and their dwellings scattered It appeareth by this story that the dealinges of Cham and his sonnes were in the same kinde that Kaines were Kaine after his Curse wandring like a Vagabond from the place of true Religion into the land of Nod which signifieth Fugitiue buildeth a Citie and calleth it after the name of his Sonne Henoch C ham after his curse goeth wandring about from the place that Noah liued and Sem sacrificed at vnto the land of Shinear which signifieth Shake off and there hee built a Cittie of Confusion From which story also we may obserue the iudgments of God that wherein a man offendeth hee or his seede is commonly punished for it is certaine that all the actions of wicked are a harmony with Gods dealings though in respect of the wicked they agree not with vertue The sonnes of Sem for ioyning with rebellious Nimrod of Cham as it were flouting their Fathers blessing to furnish vp the number of 70. made Bricke for the buylding of the Tower of Confusion 70. of Sems posteritie 600. yeares after were forced to goe into the land of Cham and there compelled to be Brickmakers vnder Pharaoh King of Egipt because they despised the blessing of Sem and remembred not the storie of the 70. Families that buylt the Tower of Babel To shew that when in prosperie men forget God turning his Graces into Wantonnes and his Blessinges into folish Pleasures that he will take his blessinges of Bread and Wine and Oyle from vs and driue vs into forraine Nations amongst Egiptian Dogges to seeke reliefe Whose succour shall be yokes of heauie bondage to punish vs in the same pleasure wherein we offended All the 70. Families doe afflict Sem for this before hee hath his ful renowne and in scattering of Iocktanes sonnes they are placed farthest off Ierusalem of any Peleg Diuided Christ is Palmoni the secret numberer that weghieth numbreth and diuideth Vnto the building of the Tower of Babel we haue Sem Name Arphaxad Healing Sale Spoyling Heber Pilgrime Peleg Diuided Put these togeather and you haue a short sentēce A good Name like precious Oyntment to heale bind vp the ruined branches of poore Pilgrimes walking in out here on earth like strangers as hauing no abyding place for God will diuide to euery one according to his workes 1787.

Terah borne Smelling These like a principall Vine moystned with good sap and healed by grace gaue a good smell though Terah falling to Idolatrie had almost extinguished the heate thereof AN euill Plant that hath lost his sappe and is become dry being not watered with the deaw of Heauenly grace can giue no good smell which appeareth in that Terah quite forgetting that euer God created and consumed the world and brought the deuises of the sonnes of Noah his great Graundfather to open shame of eternall memorie scattering them vp and downelike vagabonds ouer all the earth figuring the calamities of their latter ages the punishment whereof chiefly was to be performed in his owne kinred became an Idolater as Ioshua 24.15 Your Fathers in old time worshiped strange Gods euen Terah the father of Abraham c. But marke the euent For euen as the sonnes of Sem for ioyning with the rest were scattered with the rest so the posteritie of Terah by Abram euen the best of them namely the Iewes were once scattered Vagabondes ouer all the earth for not imbracing the couenant of Abraham Isaacke and Iacob But in mercie gathered togeather againe to the Mountaine of grace to Iacobs Well that giueth euer-liuing Water to so many as would acknowledge Christ the Rocke to the Land that flowed with Milke and Hony To Bethel the house of Iehouah where they might see a Lather reaching from Heauen to Earth with Angels ascending and descending To that fresh springing hill of Sion which is watered with the deaw of Hermon from whence it runneth like the precious Oyntment that ran downe from Aarons beard to wash away their former vncleannes and so purge their filthy leprosie that they might be a sweete smelling Sacrifice vnto the Lord holy and acceptable before his Throne hauing an high Sacrificer to enter into the Holy of Holyest to make intercession for them that they might be free from Confusion and deliuered out of the bondage of the outward spirituall Babel But euen as the Dogge returneth to his vomit and the Hogge to his wallowing in the Mire so these Iewes of vncircumcised handes and heartes forgetting all those and many more benefites of God bestowed vpon them crucifying Christ the King of glory the God of Sem and not remembring their former punishmentes are once againe so scattered ouer the face of the earth that while the world endureth they shall be vagabondes and neuer gathered togeather againe to teach vs that if God spared not them nor suffered them to continue in their transgressions beeing his peculiar people that wee are to looke for no other recompence then they had if we despise the knowledge of Christ as they did Terah hath three Sonnes Haran Nachor Abraham as Adam and Noah had Peleg died being 229. yeares old Hee had not halfe the yeares of his father Heber the most aged man after the Flood liued not to halfe Methushelahs yeares to shew the Curse that came by the Flood so euery man in the world hath part of Gods Curse by the Flood Nachor died being 148. yeares old NOAH died being 950. yeares old Hee liued after the Flood 350. yeares that is 7.
