From Aegypt 12 Tribes 12 Fountains 12 Stones in Jordan 12 more at Gilgali and at Eball God Appointed 12 Princes and Then 12 Parâ—ers to Divide the Land And who made me a Judge or a Divider David was the 12th from Jacob and the 24th from Noah Then a Giant had 24 Digits And his Last Battle with Abner Father of Light destroyed 12 on either side with 360 for Dayes and Hours also To make a New World at His New Jerusalem And Time Passed away Vpon Him and All Kingdoms As 1 Cron. 29 30 As Time Passeth away at the 7th Trumpet before the New Jerusalem And for Watches of 3 Hours Samuel spake to Saul of 3 Dayes 3 Men 3 Kids and 3 Loaves David had 3 Brethren with Saul who had 3 Sons Slain together hid himself 3 Dayes and then bowed 3 times to Jonathan and had 3 Sons of Serviah with 3 other Worthies 3 years of Famine and 3 Dayes of Pestilence which he Chose before 3 Months War or 3 years Dearth Absalon was banished 3 years and had 3 Sons and 3 Darts in his Heart Elijah Stretched on the Child 3 times and bid them pour water thrice on his Altar Which had 12 Stones and 12 Barrels of Water And Elisha ploughed with 12 Yoak of Oxen and himself with the 12th Ezra from Ahava the 12th Day with 12 Priests and 12 Levites offering 12 Bullocks and 12 Goats at Jerusalem Nehemiah's Time had 12 Elders and 12 Levites keeping Watches in Reading Singing Praising and Praying Whence haply Watching to Pray And comparing him with Zech. we may find 12 Gates in his New Jerusalem on the 24th of the 6th Month As His Covenant on the 24th of the 7th As Daniels Great Vision was the 24th of the first Zechs the 24th of the 10 h Haggies the 24th of the 6 t and 24th of the 9th From this Day I will Bless you As the 2 d Temple was Founded on the 24th and afterwards clensed on the 25th of the 9th in Hagâ—y and Machabes Our Saviour wiâ—h the Doctors at 12 years had 12 Disciples 12 Baskets and 7 Loaves for 7 Dayes and 12 Hours and healed an issue of 12 and Raised one of 12 years Which may allude To the 12 hours of Darkness As the 12 years of Sodoms Bondage which may be Types of 12 Prophetick years before His Coming To fulfill That of Ab. and Melchizedeck Blessing him by the Most High God Possessor of Earth as of Heaven before As our Saviour when he exulted in Spirit and the 24 Elders or Presidents of All the 24 Hours At the Trumpet of the 7th Month in Rev. 11. For Every month began with Trumpets But the Feast of Trumpets did begin the 7th For Atonement Release and Tabernacles The Jews Holy things in 12 and 24. The Common Title of their Bibles is The 24. And the First hath 12 Great Sections As the last 12 Little Prophets And the Priests had 24 things from God and offered 24 or 12 Cakes in 24 halves Dayly And the Shew-bread was in 12 of 24 Omers As 24 Leviticus 12 Holy Garments had 12 Pretious Stones in Ouches Kâ—hath 24 Cities Or Levi Twice 24. As the Little Sections of Genesis The Temple Courts 24 Cubits high and either walk had 24 Pillers of 12 Cubits round As the Brazen Sea had 12 Oxen and Both Temples As Ezekiels 12 Little Chambers on either side As Day and Night had 12 hours apiece Their Last Altar 24 Cubits As they took Ezech 43 of 12 and 12. Though some of 12 by 12 or 144 As the Walls of the New Jerusalem With 12 Gates 12 Pearls 12 Fruits The Woman in the Sun with the Moon and 12 Stars As Josephs Dream of Sun and Moon and 12 Stars All the Standers or their Representatives As the Priests and Levits with Nethinims Singers Porters or Watchers at 24 places in 24 Courses by David from Noah the 24th The Camp and Levits Under 4 Standards as the 4 Watches And our Saviour walked on the Sea at the 4th Watch. As the Roman Times had 4 Watches both of Day and Night in Censorinus First about Camillus Time we find their Hours in Livy Watches in their Ancient Laws and Histories As Scipio came to Trebia the 4th Watch. Hanibal for Tarentum at the 4th Watch. Antiochus fled To Sardis by Midnight and to Apamea by the 4th Watch. Crassus jested at Dejotarus Building in the 4th Watch or 11th Hour of his Life The Little Watches had but 3 Hours a piece Though some contend for 4 and a Middle Watch in Judges As our Saviours Twelve Hours parted at the 3 d and 6 t and 9th And so the Watchers which is Daniels word Cryed Holy Holy Holy Thrice As 3 Hours in a Watch. But Antient Copies have it 9 times the square of 3 and both were Sacred to Others also For their 3 Graces and 9 Muses And as 1 and 2 make 3 and 3 more 6 or twice 3 So the Sum of These 3 differs from the next 3 by 9. and the 3 d 3 maketh 24. As the 3 d from it 42 which is 24 Turned 24 and 42 make 66. As the 7th 3 60. and the 8th 69. For the Summes differ All by 9. And They are Up and down or forward and backward the Same figures 0. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. As in this Table 1. 2. 3. = 06. 4. 5. 6. = 15. 7. 8. 9. = 24. 10. 11. 12. = 33. 13. 14. 15. = 42. 16. 17. 18. = 51. 19. 20. 21. = 60. And supposing Numbers to be Lines As there are but 4 Simple Chords as 4 Watches So but 8 Simple Arks As the parts of Day and Night are Arks in Heaven And as 4 is the First of All Sonares as its Name in Heb. So is 8 of Cubes which may All be Resolved by 8 As Sonares by 4. And as 4 and 8 make 12 which is 3 times 4 So 3 times 8 make 24 As Hours in All the Watches Arks of Heaven Which are All easily parted by 3 which is to Slice in Hebr. As Each Ark is made of 3 differing lesser Arks or Sides of a Triangle Which may also be represented by 3 Points As a Chord by 2. And if we find the Proper sound of All these Characters and give them Proper Names We may express All Persons Things and Motions with their Moods and Times In an Easy way of Speaking and Writing With an Alphabet of Natures plainest Characters As Points for Spirits and Vowels Chords for the 4 Liquids and Simple Bodies As Archs for Mixt or Mâ—â—es which may be made Aspirate Or Animate by a Point or Spirit in them and of Things also To be Known by Characters expressed by Proper Sounds But to the Jewish Watches As the Less had 3 Hours apiece so the Greater 6. and so the Greatest Harmonies are made by Halves and Quarters to their Wholes As Eights and Fifts and Thirds in Musick And As Day or Night had 4 of 3 a piece So Both together 4 of 6 apiece
the Beast also 42 months And yet they do not seem to end together Except we grant him More then his Reigning Time of 42 Months From his Deadly Wound For he lives and prospers so at the End of 1260 Days that he killeth the 2 Witnesses and They lye Dead 3 dayes and an half which may be 3 years and an half or somewhat more then 3 dayes or 75 Hours and 1335 are 75 more then 1260. And at Rising of the Witnesses the 10th part only of the City fell whether it be the Great City following which Reigned over the Kings of the Earth Or the Holy City Before yet called Sodom where the Lord was slain As in the Prophets And the 10th of that City may allude To Neehmiahs Time When the Tenths of All the people were chosen out by lot to dwell in Ierusalem so that All that City was but as the Tenth of Israel And the Tenth in Esay 6 and other places seems a Type of Gods Elect Or else there may be somewhat more in it For the First Fruits are The Elect whose Heb name is akin to That of First Fruits As we touch on Davids Micol and Baburim in another place But Tenths are proper most to the Iewish Church And when the Fruits of All the Earth come in as All Kingdoms At the Rising of the Witnesses It is no great wonder That Tenths should Fall With All the Ceremonious Pendants To the Iewish Levites And the very word for Dragon is in Hebrew Tan or Tannin and Levitan akin to Levi Tan or Ten And the Levites crying Ten Ten which is Give Give as the Horsleach Else I will Take it with This Fleshook by Force And Levitan may be Levi the Dragon or Cruel Levi. As Their Father Iacob said Adding also But my soul shall not be in their Secret or in Sodam As the word is There and maketh just 666 alluding unto Lots flying out of Sodom to Zoar. As Moab of Lot is bidden in Esay 16. As to mind the Heifer of 3 years old in Gen. 15. Moses told the Levites they were a stiff Rebellious Generation Deut. 31. 25. 27. And it was a Levites Concubine that plaid the Whore at Bethlem Till at length she was filled and divided into 12. As the 10 and 2 Tribes scattered all about Till there were not left 666 Reliques of Benjamin And yet he Had the Ruler Saul and He cut his Oxen As the Levites Concubine and then the Temple came in Little Benjamin The Lord must dwell between His shoulders And the Altar had a corner cut that so it might be all in Benjamin To Devour the Prey in the morning sacrifice and to gnaw the Bones in the Evening As Jacob first and Then the Prophets do allude And the Jews observe the Levites were but 22000 to Teach their 22 Letters for neglecting That They were carried Captive in their 22 d Generation As the Priests cut off by Saul Before Davids New Jerusalem And Solomon Put off Abiathar also the Relique of the Priests And Nehemiah chased a Son of the High Priest allied to Samballat And when Solomon came to Dedicate his Temple which perhaps the Priests expected But As soon As all the people did agree to Blesse the Lord and sing For he is Good Because a mighty word As if He were not Good But That His Mercy doth Endure for Ever Then the Glory of God came Down and Filled the Temple so that the very Best of All the Priests could not Enter or Durst not So that Solomon was fain to Pray will God Indeed Indeed come Dwell in Clay and Blesse the People Which by Gods Command was most Peculier to the Sons of Aaron and Solomon was neither Priest nor Levite But of Judah whence our Lord did spring And he cut off 22000 Beasts in One Day which Themselves compare to the 22000 Levites Adding also that Pompey slew 22000 about the Temple and was Beaten after it by Caesars 22000 To as many more in Pompeys Army As 22000 in That of Apolonius in the Machabes And when Joash came up in the 7th year and did desire the Levites to Repair the Temple or to help it forward They Pretended but 't is said They Hastned it not And again in Twice 7 years The Priests had not Repaired the House as 2 Kings 12. with 2 Cron. 24. as 12 and 24 in all Temple matters And at length They consent to Receive no more money nor to Repair the House which was therefore Put out as the Vineyard To Other persons That did work and do it Faithfully without Priests and Levites Which might be a Type of somewhat in our Saviours Times and Farther And though we read of First Fruits still Even in Ezechiels New Ierusalem Yet of Tithes very Seldom or never that I find in all the Bible of the Gostel Times but of the Pharisees Boast of Paying Tithes and Tithing Mint or Any-seed But the Tenth might also Note The Tribute Paid to Kings over them Which Samuel fixed by the Tenth of All they had or Got. And when the Romans Took the Didragm or half shekle For Redemption of Souls As in Matthew with Josephus They had Tithes also The Common Tribute to Hercules with other Demigods And so the 10th days of all or divers months were mourning fasting Dayes as we saw before And thus the Fall of the Tenth of the City Whither it be Jerusalem or Rome or Any Other or All Others For it may be in All Successively may speak the Fall of All Their Tolls and Tributes Tythes and Offerings or whatever else was Appendant to the Levitical Policy or mearly Jewish Or Legal Bonds or Bondage And They that defend Those things should be sure They come not to confess They have Acted As Jews but were not As in several of the Churches Which were much Distinct Although so near in One Lydian Asian Province That they might have soon made One National Church if That had been the Only way and All their Angels might have laid their Faults upon One High Arch Angel But Ezechiels New Altar rejecteth all the Old Levites that stayed with Israel and Chooseth the House of Zadoch the Righteous as Solomon took him for Abiathar And Ezechiel 45 determines All Tribute to their King also with a strikt Command upon the Prince To Take away his Exactions on his People whose Exactors must be Peace And One of 200 Lambs with a 60th part of Corn or 100 part of Oyle is Fixed for the Tribute But How Long These Tenths or other Tolls may last I know not any Text determines clearer Then the 14th of the Revelation Bringing us To the Feast of Tabernacles in the following Chapters After Harvest and Vintage As Exod. 23. 16 and 34. 22. Deut. 16. 13. As the Ark came Home From 7 Months Wandring as 7 years Release and Rested in the Field of Josuah some Type of Jesus when the Jews were At Their Wheat or Last Harvest Before the Showers fell that were
