drowned all the race of Mankind all the Beasts of the field all the Fowls of the Air and all creeping things except Noah and his Family and two of a sort of all Creatures that lived on the face of the Earth and of the fowls of the Air preserved by Noah upon the Waters in an Ark built by him according to the directions of God himself after the World had been created 1656 years This Ark having driven to and fro upon the Waters above the highest tops of the Mountains for the space of about five moneths time it pleased God to let it rest at last upon the Mountains of Ararat And after the waters were retired again into their place the beleeving Noah and his Family and all the living Creatures that were inclosed in the Ark went again out of the Ark and Noah and his Family setled themselves about the Eastern borders of the River of Hiddekel from whence afterwards the Generations of Noah spread themselves both Eastwards and Westwards naming the several Lands and Countries wherein they lived after their several Names Which hath moved us to insert this Geneological Table that the Reader may the easier learn to know the Lands in the Map and their several Original Possessors as more at large you may collect them out of the Bible and the marginal Notes there on Let the Genelogical Table come in here All the people of the Earth had then one Language and one Speech And that they might the better unite themselves and perpetrate a Name they consulted to build a Citty and a Tower therein whose top thereof should reach up unto Heaven which the Lord being offended with confounded their Language scattered them and made them leave off building their intended Citty And the name of that place was called Babel as you may see at Fig 1. in the Map because the Lord did here confound their Language and from hence desperse them into all parts of the Earth Gen. 11. 9. Not far from this Citty is Ur the dwelling place of Terah as at Fig. 2. in the Mapp This Terah was the Father of Abraham and the Grandfather of Lot And Abraham being forewarned of God to depart from thence according both he and his Father Terah and Lot departed to Haran as at Numb 3. in the Mapp where Terah dyed Gen. 11. 32. And Abraham at Gods command left his Native place and his Kindred and took with him all his family and his Nephew Lot and all their substance and travelled towards the Land of Canaan unto Sichem in the Plain of Moreh as at Fig. 4. in the Mapp From whence he removed again unto a mountain between Beth-el and Hai as at Fig. 5. in the Mapp and pitched his tent there where he built an Altar and called upon the Lord. Gen. 12. 8. From hence they depart Southwards and by reason of a famine in the Land are driven to go down into Egypt from whence after some time of stay they again depart richly blessed with Cattle Silver and Gold c. into the Land of Canaan and again took up their dwelling place between Beth-el and Hai. at Fig. 5. Gen. 13. 3. Here Lot and Abraham parts because the Land was too little for them And Lot chose the Plain of Jordan at Fig. 6. in the Mapp and pitched his Tent towards Sodom Gen. 13. 12. And Abram went and dwelt in the Plain of Mamre which is in Hebron Gen. 13. 18. as at Fig. 7. in the Mapp Here it was that Ishmael was born Isaac is promised And Abrams name was changed to Abraham Gen. 16. and 17. From hence Abraham journeyed towards the South Countrey and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur and sojourned as a stranger in Gerar at Fig. 8. in the Mapp Gen. 20. 1. Here Abraham was commanded to offer up his Son Isaac upon one of the Mountains of Moriah at Fig. 9. in the Mapp But God finding his obedience forbids him to lay hands on the Lad and provides a Ram for a burnt offering in Isaacs steed and promises him his blessings From hence Abraham goes and dwells in Beersheba at Fig. 10. in the Mapp Gen. 22. 19. And at Kirjath-arba which is Hebron Sarah dies and is buried in the cave of Machpelah over against Mamre at Fig. 12. in the Mapp Gen. 23. 19. Afterwards Abraham takes an Oath of his servant and sends him to Nahor in Mesopotamia at Fig. 3. in the Mapp to take a wife for Isaac out of his Kindred and obtained Rebekah the Daughter of Bethuel and brings her into Canaan where Isaac met her as he came from the way of the Well Lahairoi at Fig. 13. in the Mapp Gen. 24. 62. Abraham at the age of 175 years dies and is buried by his Sons Isaac and Ishmael in the Sepulcher of his Wife Sarah at Fig. 12. in the Mapp Gen. 25. 10. Isaac then dwelt in the Cit●y of Gerar at Fig. 14. in the Mapp Gen. 26. 6. From whence he removed to the valley of Gerar. Gen. 26. 17. And from the valley of Gerer to Beer-sheba Gen. 26. 23. But the Children of Ishmael being twelve Prince dwelt in all that space between Havilah at Fig. 16. and Shur at Fig. 15. in the Mapp Gen. 25. 18. This was a large Countrey but in probability not very fruitful or close inhabited Because at this time it is called the Deserts of Arabia Isaac had now two Sons to wit Esau and Jacob. And Jacob being the youngest by his subtilety bought Esaus birth-right for a mess of Pottage and by it obtained his father Isaac's Blessing which belonged to Esau for which Esau sought Jacobs Life But by the councel of his Parents he went towards Podan-Arain to Laban his Mothers brother But being benighted at Luz he took of the stones of the Place for his Pillows and lay down to sleep on them and then dreamed that he saw a Ladder whose top reached into Heaven and the Angels of God ascending and descending Here he received the promise of God and here he took the stone he had for his Pillow and set it up for a Pillar and poured oyl on it and named the Citty Bethel at Fig 17 in the Mapp Gen. 28. 11 to 20. In the morning he travelled towards the people of the East where he met Rachel the daughter of his Uncle Laban about Haran at Fig 3 in the Mapp and makes himself known to her who straight runs and tells her father who also came out to meet him and received him kindly Gen. 29 13. Here Jacob served Laban 20 years for his two daughters Leah and Rachel together with such Cattle of the Flock as he barganied for which the Lord blesses and increases mightily Whereat Laban and his Sons grow displeased and murmur against Jacob. which caused Jacob to depart from thence with his Wives and Childeren and Cattle to the land of Canaan over the River Euphrates at Fig. 18 in the Mapp Turning towards the Hills of Gillead at Fig. 19 in the Mapp
After 7 days persuit of his Father in law and Uncle Laban and a great power he brought with him he was overtaken Yet nevertheless Laban being warned of God not to hurt Jacob made a convenant with him Gen 31. 48 49. not to hurt each other Here they made a heap of stones in memorial of the covenant and called the name of it Gilead and Mizpah And from thence Laban returned home in peace Jacob travelling a little further meets the Angels of God and called the name of the place Mahanaim at Fig. 20 in the Mapp From hence Jacob and all his Family and followers passed over the foord Jabbok Gen. 32. 22.

And Israel being very old and dim of sight dyed there and was carryed by his son Joseph and the rest of his children and a great train of Egyptians very magnificently into the land of Canaan and buried in the Sepulcher of his Father and Grandfather at Machpelah which is before Mamre at Fig. 12 in the Mapp Gen 50. 13. Thus is the curteous Spectator presented with a short Narration of the several Countries Stations and Dwellings of our first Parents from Adam downwards to Jacob and by the corresponding figures in the Mapp and this Narration is directed to find the scituation of every place in question which he shall read of in the Bible wherein they are concerned with very great ease speed and delight A short discourse upon the Perigrination of the Children of Israel Together with a Geographical description of the several places they travelled to between Egypt and the land of Canaan THe land of Promise is by some old Writers called Palestine as is conjectured from the name of the Inhabitants of the land called Philistines a Nation descended from Cham one of the sons of Noah And yet may this Land be properly called the Land of Promise in regard of the promise God made to Abraham Gen. 12. 7. and Gen. 13. 15. It takes the name of Canaan from Canaan one of the sons of Ham and is devided into particular Provinces according to the several names of Chams sons who were the first possessors of those Provinces as you may more perfectly see in the Mapp of Paradice And lastly this Land is called the Holy Land alluding to what God said unto Moses in Deut. 3. 5. Draw not nigh hither Put off thy shoes from thy feet for the Place whereon thou standest is Holy Ground Notwithstanding this was not spoken by God in the Land of Canaan but in the Wilderness of Sin by mount Horeb. Yet however we may account this a very proper name for this Land because the holiness of the Lord was there preserved The Holy Citty of Jerusalem stood in it and the most Holy and true Son of God had both his birth and conversation in it The extream bounds of this Land reaches Fastwards to Arabiathe Stony Westwards to the Great Sea Northwards to the Hills of Labanon and Southwards to the Wilderness of Paran Edom and Kadesh It s length between Labanon and Paran is about 150 English Miles The bredth between the Great Sea and the River of Jordan is various for in some Places it is about 50. in others about 60. Miles over This Land is watered with several smal Rivolets or Brooks some emptying themselves into the Great Sea and others running into the River of Jordan a famous River taking its original from two smal Lakes by the Woods of Labanon called Jor and Dan who running a little way unite both their streams and names and from thence is called Jordan This River Jordan runs from thence into the Lake Merom and from Merom into the Sea of Galilee otherwise called the Sea of Chinereth And lastly running from the Sea of Chinereth it looses its self and name in the Dead Sea or Vale of Siddim In this Valestood formerly those wicked Citties Sodom and Gomorrah and in the time of Lot was a most exceeding fruitfull plot of ground compared to the Garden of the Lord to witt Paradice Gen 13. 10. This Sea or Vale is also watered with the Brooks Zered and Arnon and is nevertheless as Josephus writes a salt and unfruitful Lake Tacitus Egysippus Pausanius and others write wonderful things of this Lake which for brevity we shall here omit Yet this we ought to remark that herein is found driving upon the waters a species of Pitch called Asphaltum from whence this Lake hath also obtained the name of Mare Asphalticum This Pitch being melted hath a noysom stinck and is used both in medicines and by the Inhabitants there-abouts for the pitching of Vessels But to proceed This Land of Canaan is a very fruitful Land producing Corn Wine Oyl Sugar Balsome Figgs Herbs and Flowers and is very truely termed a Land flowing with milk and honey Exod 3. 8. and in several other places It is beautified with many fair Hills Vales Fields Fountains Rivers Woods Citties Vi●lages and strong Castles exceling many other Lands in the World and therefore given by God for an Inheritance to the Father of the faithful and his Seed the children of Israel as a type of the Heavenly Canaan the place of perfect and accomplished joy and happiness The exceeding
own Country men and several others as Hacklute relates in his English Voyages Pag. 506. from the Records themselves how several Navigations have been made by the Brittish Nation above 500 years ago into America And withall for the probability of the truth of those Records proves how that in Cuba and Hispaniola two famous Islands in the Bay of Mexico the Natives retain several Brittish words signifying the same thing to this day besides some marks of Christianity among them Yet by the same propability America might be populated either from France or Spain who also are descended from Japhet Thus far may be offered in favour of the sons of Japhets populating America and from whence But if this be not accepted we may consider the sons of Cham who Inhabited the western Shoars of Africk which in some places are not above 480 Leagues from the Main land of Brasil If neither Jophet or Cham can be allowed in the Readers opinion to Populate America then must it of necessity be the sons of Shem who populated it yet here we find almost 600 leagues distance from America in the neerest place viz. between Yedso the most Easternly Iland of Asia and California the most Westernly Iland of America therefore as far as the likeliest probability backs this argument we ought to conclude that America was populated by the sons of Japhet A Discourse upon the Geographical Description of PARADICE And the several Countries bordering thereon Together with a short discourse of the perigrination of the Patriarchs from Adam to Jacob. AFter God had created the Heavens the Earth the Sea and all that in them is out of Nothing for the compleating of his great work he set himself to make Man and so dignified and honoured him that he made him Lord over all Creatures and gave him for his dwelling a most pleasant Garden in Eden called Paradice excelling in Stateliness Beauty and Delightful Pleasantness all the Countries upon the face of the Earth and therefore is rightly called the Garden of Pleasure It is Scituate in the Land of Shinar a part of Asia upon the River now called Tigris which is called in the Holy Scripture the River of Pison This River devides it self into four branches each of a several name Therefore to shew the true Scituation of this Garden and to describe it perfectly we must consider what the Prophet Moses saies in Gen. 2. 8. And the Lord God planted a Garden Eastward in Eden As also at the 10 verse And a River went out of Eden to water the Garden and from thence it was parted and became into four heads to wit four heads of Water This Text clearly shews that this Garden of Pleasure was Scituate on the East side of Pison where the River waters it with a single stream as you may see in the Mapp And though we should suppose that some part of this Garden should ly on the West side of the River of Pison yet it is plain by Gen. 3. 24. that the dwelling place of Adom was on the East side where it saies So he drove out the Man and he placed at the East of the Garden Cherubims c. Because he should not enter in again where he went out Also from Gen. 4. 16. And Cain went out from the presence of the Lord and dwelt in the land of Nod in the East of Eden And it is the more likely to be beleeved because this River aswel in length and breadth as in strength of its stream may compare with the Rhyne or Donau and therefore it may consequently be conjectured that it must hinder our first parents from flying Eastward from the presence of the Lord had they inhabited to the Westwards of this River for we cannot rationally conjecture they had either Boats or Ferries to pass over it withall nor does Gods holy word make any mention of Building any till Noahs time Thus therefore have many Ancient Geographers committed an eminent errour in this particular placing this Garden of Pleasure on the West side of the River of Pison This River as aforesaid is devided into four heads of water to wit two to the Northward or above the Garden and two to the Southward or below the Garden and were called Pison Gihon Hiddekel and Euphrates and are thus described in Gen. 2. 11. The name of the first is Pison That is it which compasseth the whole Land of Havilah where there is Gold v. 13. And the name of the second River is Gihon The same is it that compasseth the whole Land of Ethiopia v. 14. And the name of the third River is Hiddekel That is it which goeth towards the East of Assyria And the fourth River is Euphrates This River of Euphrates hath its original source from the mountains of Moschi and Caspy in Armenia the Great And the River of Hiddekel hath its original from a certain Lake or dead Sea Scituate neer the beginnings of the Mountains of Ararat These two streams run downwards into the aforesaid River Pison at the North of the Garden and so run Southwards to the Southmost part of the Garden where the most Easterly of these streams retains still the name of Pison and the Westernly takes the name of Gihon upon it both emptying themselves into the Persian Gulph Our first Parents being thus placed in this Garden of Pleasure as aforesaid had all things therein given them to their use and behoof except the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil Gen. 2. 17. Which was expressly Forbidden them by God But being deluded by the Subtleties of Satan to break Gods Command they were driven out of Paradice and condemned to get their Living in the sweat of their brows and for their sakes the Earth was accurst and over-run with Thistles and Thorns Having as we have touched before their dwelling in the Land of Nod to the Eastwards of the Garden of Eden which Countrey was formerly called Susiane and now Susan where they fell to Tilling the Ground They had two Sons the eldest named Cain a Tiller of the Ground and the youngest named Abel a keeper of Sheep who through the Spite and Mallice of his brother Cain was in his fury muthered by him Cain being accurst of God for this fact falls into great dispair and perplexity of mind fearing least every one that meets him should kill him goes therefore forth from the face of the Lord into the Land of Nod and builds there a Citty and calls the name of it Enoch after his Sons name It may be conjectured that the Citty now called Susan is the remains of this Citty Enoch as bordering neerest to Eden and Scituate to the Westwards of the Mountains of Ararat upon the River Euleus where it is probable Cain stopt his flight from the face of the Lord being not able to pass over this River The sins of Mankind growing from time to time more and more are at last punisht by God almighty with an universal deludge wherein was
