Wherefore let vs pray in comfortable hope and from a liuely faith with the holy Apostle Euen so come quickely Amen Come Lord Iesus in thy due time Amen Amen A Catalogue of the holy Prophetes of God as well of those so called whose Prophesies are not expressedly recorded as of the rest according to the order and course of the times wherein they prophesied by a distribution of them into certaine Classes or companies And first of the Prophets among the Patriarches or chiefe Fathers before the Flood WE may well perswade ourselues that Adam the father of al mankind is to be accoūted a Prophet seeing the Lord God from the beginning committed to him the publishing of the promise and prophesie of the Messiah the Prince of Prophets and the verie ground of all prophesie whatsoeuer was at any time to be reuealed to the Churches of God And so also are we iustly to account of many other of the Patriarches of the old world as namely of Sheth in whom the losse of faithful Abel was restored For God saith Euah hath appointed me another seed for Abel because Kain slew him Gen. 4. 25. and so we are to thinke of Enosh the sonne of Sheth in whose age men began in speciall maner to call vpon the name of the Lord that is to say to exercise the duties of Gods true worship more publikely and vnder some course of discipline for the preseruing of the children of God the posterity of Sheth from the children of men the profane and licentious off-spring of Kain according to that which we read Gen. chap. 4. 26. compared with chap. 6. vers 1. c. The same iudgement are we to conceiue of some other if not of all the rest of the Patriarches descended of Sheth Neuerthelesse seeing the present purpose is to gather together those only which more principally then the rest are expresly noted to be indued with a speciall gift of prophesie either for excellency of doctrine in opening the mystery of saluation or moreouer and beside that haue had the grace of foretelling such things to come which tend to the same scope and end We will therefore begin with Henoch who was the seuenth generation from Adam borne no longer then 622 yeares

after that the world was created This Henoch though so neare the beginning of the world yet he prophesied of the last iudgement which shall be at the time of the second appearance of our Sauiour Christ in glorie at the end of the world as we read Iude verses 14 15. Enoch also saith Iude the seuenth from Adam prophesied saying Behold the Lord commeth with thousands of his Saints to giue iudgement vpon all men and to rebuke all the vugodly among them of all their wicked deeds The second chiefe Prophete of the olde world I meane as touching those whose prophesies are expressed was Noah the ninth generation from Adam one yea the principall of those eight persons who were saued when the whole world beside for the wickednesse thereof was vtterly drowned This Noah the eighth person one of that small number which were saued a Preacher of righteousnesse as the Apostle Peter calleth him in his second epistle chap. 2. vers 5. he prophesied of this first destruction of the worlde by water an hundreth and twentie yeares before it came to passe Gen. chap. 6. vers 9. c. This huge and terrible iudgement of God fell vpon the world in the yeare which was after the creation therof 1656. Noah prophesied also that the posteritie of Shem his second sonne should be a people peculiar to God aboue anie other branch or line of his posteritie vntill the Messiah should come The accomplishment of which prophesie began about foure hundreth yeares after to be in singular gratious maner manifested to Abraham and so foorth in the generations from him succeeding He prophesied likewise of the calling of the Gentiles that is of the rest of the nations which were to descend from his other two sonnes after that Christ should appeare but more specially of those nations which should come of Iapheth his eldest sonne in so much as Ham his yongest sonne was by the spirit of Prophesie accursed of God according to that occasion which he himselfe by his vngratious fact gaue vnto his father to denounce the same Gen. chap. 9. 25. 26. 27. The posterity of Iapheth were the Persians and Grecians and the people of these parts of the world the which we our selues and the neighbour nations do inhabite Romanes Italians Germanes c. Gen. chap. 10. 2. c. The fulfilling of which prophesie hath continued from the time of the ascension of our Sauior Christ shortly after the which time euen within a few dayes the Gospell was preached to the foresaid posteritie of Iapheth for the most part as is euident Act. 2. 9. 10. 11. to Parthians and Medes and Elamites c. though some of Egypt c. who were of the posteritie of Ham be rehearsed there Reade Gen. 10. 6. c. And that of the posteritie of Ham some were to be called also to the faith of the Gospell reade Psal. 87. and Isai. chap. 19. verses 18. c. 23. 24. 25. and Zach. chap. 14. 16. Prophetes such as were Patriarches or chiefe Fathers of the people of God since the flood to the time of the Iudges which was the space of more then 700 yeares ABraham was in his time a Prophet of the Lord for so God himself testifieth of him Gen. 20. 7. where he speaketh thus to Abimelech king of Gerar Deliuer the man his wise againe for he is a Prophet and he shall pray for thee c. Isaak prophesied that Esau though he was his eldest sonne should serue Iaakob the yoonger brother to the end it might appeare that the interest and right of the spirituall blessing and inheritance commeth not by nature but of free mercie and grace Gen. chap. 27. 40. compared with Rom. 9. vers 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13. Iaakob prophesied of the seuerall blessings which he knew that God would a long time after his death bestowe vpon the twelue tribes or kindreds which were to be the posteritie of the twelue Patriarches his children He prophesied also that the Messiah should come of the tribe of Iudah Gen. 49. Ioseph foretold the dearth of seuen yeares which God would send vppon the world after seuen former yeares of plenty immediatly fore-running and therefore he may well stand among the Prophetes as one in that number whereof the Lord speaketh saying Touch not mine annointed and doe my Prophetes no harme Psal. 105. 15. Moses was a Prophet most famous mightie both in word and in deed all the time of his ministerie and seruice to God touching the deliuerance of his people out of the bondage of Egypt and also in respect of his gouernement afterward Deut. ch 18. vers 18. and chap. 34. 10 11 12. and Act. 7. 22. Read also for a proofe of the excellent spirit of prophesie which was in him the holy Songs and Psalmes which he hath left in writing Exod. chap. 15. and Deut. 31. 22 and ch 32. and Psal. 90. which according to the title thereof is a Psalme which Moses the man of God did indite Miriam also the sister of Moses was a Prophetesse in the same time that Moses liued Exo. 15. 20. Moreouer in his dayes God gaue the spirit of prophesie for a certaine season to seuenty Ancients of Israel al at one time of the which number Eldad and Medad had the same their extraordinary gift continued longer vnto them then had the rest Numb chap. 11. ver 24 25 26 27 28 29. Balaam though otherwise of a wicked mind euen such a one as loued the wages of vnrighteousnesse according to that marke whereby the Apostle Peter brandeth him 2. ep 2. 15. yet he was guided by the Spirit of God to vtter a true and holy prophesie concerning the happie estate of Israel aboue all other people vnder the most gratious protection and blessing of God and namely for that the Messiah as it were a most bright starre should arise from among them c. Numb chap. 23. and chap. 24. Wherefore albeit he was a wicked man yet in so much as God vsed him as his instrument inlightned for the time to giue forth this so holy a prophesie we may not altogether vnfitly rehearse him in this respect among the holy Prophets of God Consider here whether Heman and Ethan the Ezrahites who wrote the 88. and the 89. Psalmes were before Moses in time as their Psalmes stand in order of number before his in the booke of the Psalmes Verily if it may be affirmed as some learned men doe iudge and as it is very lik●… that they were the same of whom mention is made both 1. King chap. 4. vers 30. and also 1. Chron. chap. 2. vers 6. that is to say if they were the sonnes of Zarah the neare posteritie of Iudah by Thamar of whom we reade Genes chap. 38. vers 30. then also it is very likely that they were before Moses or at least his equalles in time or shortly after him And so consequently their Psalmes specially that of Ethan which is the 89.

the appearance of our Sauiour he was acknowledged by the Spirit of prophesie When the time came that he should be more fully manifested to all Israel which was when he was about thirtie yeares of age Luke 3. 23 Iohn the Baptist being a Prophet yea greater then a Prophet Luke 7. 26. He did not onely point Christ out personally when hee shewed himselfe but he preached assuredly that he should shew himselfe before he had seene him therefore baptized the people into his name who should shortly shew himselfe to be the Sauiour among them As touching our Sauiour himselfe we know that he was the Prince of Prophets most mightie in word and deed to whom all the Prophets giue witnesse and whom God promised to raise vp as one of whom Moses was but a certaine figure and type Luke chap. 24. verse 19. and verses 25 26. 27. Read also Deut. chap. 18. 15. Act. 3. 22. 23. 24. and chap. 10. 38. 43. He hath reuealed most clearely the secretes of the kingdome of heauen euen from the bosome and counsell of the Father Isai. chap. 9. 6. Iohn 1. 18. By his Spirit all the former Prophetes prophesied according to that which is written concerning Noah 1. Pet. 3. 18 19 20. He foretold the destruction of Ierusalem which accordingly came to passe as also that many Antichrists should rise vp as since they haue done namely in the succession of the Antichrist of Rome and finally that he will come againe at the last day to iudge the world which shall as certainly be perfourmed in due time by him as anie thing which he hath foretold is already accomplished in the season thereof Finally after the ascension of our Sauiour Christ vp into heauen from the which time the gifts of the holy Ghost were aboundantly poured downe vpon the Church many were furnished with the gift of Prophesie for so we read Ephes. 4. 11. He gaue some to be Apostles some Prophetes c. See the proofe of it Act. chap. 11. 27 28. In those dayes came Prophetes from Ierusalem to Antiochia Of the which one named Agabus foretold the great famine which came vpon all the world vnder Claudius the Emperour The same Agabus foretold the afflictions of Paule Act. 21. 10. 11. And in the same chapter vers 8. 9. Saint Luke reporteth that Philip the Euangelist had foure daughters which did prophesie Reade againe chap. 19. 6. Paule layd his hands on cercertaine Disciples of Ephesus and they spake with tongues and prophesied The Apostle Paule himselfe by the spirite of prophesie foretold the time of the rising of Antichrist that he should fall againe 2. Thes. chap. 2. So doth the Apostle Iohn in the booke of the Reuelation chap. 17. where also he noteth out the place and seat of Antichrist by such a descrption of it as agreeth only to Rome Yea in that booke he describeth very liuely the afflictions of the Church such as should fall vpō it euen to the end of the world And last of all how glorious the estate thereof shall be thenceforth when Christ shal once haue perfected the mariage betwixt himselfe and it And thus the whole Prophesie of the holy Scriptures is with that propheticall booke sealed and shut vp Reuel chap. 22. 18. 19. 20. 21. The Conclusion THis constant spirit of Prophesie as it were the lode-starre or haruenger of time and the certaine performance of all things in their proper seasons euen as they were foretold as well the more particular as the more generall Prophesies and that also concerning all forreigne and heathen nations as wel as concerning Iudah and Israell according as holymen of God spake not of priuate motion but as they were moued and guided by the holy Ghost as the Apostle Peter testifieth 2. ep ch 1. 20 21. Inso much as we may say generally according to that we reade Amos 3. 7. Surely the Lord hath done nothing but he hath reuealed his secret to his seruants the Prophets And chiefly the constant foretelling performance of al things concerning Christ Iesus our Lord and his kingdom concerning euery part of his humiliation and the whole glorie which was to followe according as the Prophetes are said to haue searched into these things 1. Pet. 1. 10. 11. This constant and certaine spirit of Prophesie I say giuē to the Church from time to time for the clearing confirming of that foundation of all prophesie which God himselfe had layd from the beginning as was sayd before and which wee reade of Gen. 3. 15. c. in that he hath by his owne voyce published that the seed of the womā should breake the serpents head according also to that which is written that God is the father of Prophetes and that his Spirit is the Spirit of prophesie 1. Sam. 10. 5 6 10 11 12. and chap. 19. 20. c. It is an infallible confirmation of the truth of our Christian religion and of the certaintie of Gods determinate counsell and most vigilant prouidence in the continuall ordering and gouerning of his Church and all the holie affaires and ordinances giuen vnto it from the beginning to the end according to that which the Lord himselfe saith Isai 46. 9. 10. Remember the former things of olde for I am God and there is no other God and there is no king like me Who declareth the last thing from the beginning from of olde the things that were not done saying My counsell shall stand and I will doe whatsoeuer I will And as the Apostle Iames saith as was alleadged before Act. 15. 18. From the beginning of the world God knoweth all his works that is to say he so knoweth them that he hath a care to accomplish and performe them euerie one in the time and season thereof according to his owne counsell and appointment with himselfe And now further let vs diligētly obserue that the certainty of al things already accomplished according to the prophesies formerly giuē forth of them ought to be a like vndoubted confirmation of our faith in the assured expectation of all things foretold whatsoeuer the holy scriptures certifie vs to be yet vnfulfilled Such as are the full consumption and abolishment of Antichrist by the brightnesse of the Lords comming 2. Thes. 2. 8. That the Lord will from time to time call home his full number both of the lost Iewes and also of the Gentiles to the faith and saluation of Christ euen to the end of the world Rom. 11. 25. c. and Matth. 24. 31. That there shal be a general resurrection of the dead a generall iudgement vpon all men either to perpetuall woe and misery or to eternall happinesse and glorie Mat. 25. 31. The vse of which our faith and perswasion of the whole ground warrantise therof ought finally and for our full conclusion to be this that we being afore hand made priuie to all these holy secretes of God being in vndoubted expectation of the fulfilling of thē chiefly of the comming of our Sauiour Christ to iudgement should according to the most holy instruction of the Gospell both learne and practise more and more to denie all vngodlines worldly lusts and to liue soberly and iustly and godly in this present world Tit. 12. 1. 12. c. God of his infinite mercie vouchsafe vs his grace so to do euen for the same our Lord Iesus Christs sake Amen The few errata escaped in some bookes of this Impression To the Reader lin 11. In for It.
