crime to have rob'd the good Samaritan of his Two-pence than to have stollen the same Summ out of Craesus's Treasury And by reason of this scantiness of the Race of Mankind the matter became the more known even to all the World who would be sure to tell their Children of this inhumane act which made him the discourse of all cunctorum volitare per ora and they would be sure to describe the villany from head to foot and the Race of Mankind continually encreasing and spreading farther from its Center Nature seem'd to send the Hue and Cry after him and Cain might well conclude that that and vengeance would overtake him both together and that every one that meeteth him would slay him But lest I should seem guilty of something of the like nature by murdering Your patience with a tedious long-winded Epistle I here take occasion to tell You That I have done or which is all one to subscribe my self SIR Your faithful Servant J.

Abraham that which he hath spoken of him And if it be asked further Why what could he see in this day that should make him glad more than the Iews that descended from him who expected nothing more than temporal greatness at the Messiah's coming which seems to be the literal meaning of the promise Let us hear how our profound Bishop Andrews descanteth on it Why should Abraham saith he so desire to see this day two thousand years and more after his own were at an end How was he concerned in it Yes Christ's birth he needed and he had good by it Will ye hear it from his own mouth Thus he setteth down his Case Ecce ego pulvis cinis Lo I am but dust and ashes Dust refers us to Dust thou art and into dust thou shalt return But why Ashes He was not made of these This sure refers to somewhat else Ashes we know come of fire Without it they are not made So that besides death to resolve him into dust he saw a fire to turn him into ashes He saw it in his Vision when the Sun was down and it was Night and a great fear or horrour fell upon him he saw Clibanum fumantem a fiery Furnace Blame him not if after such a Night he desired to see such a Day and was glad when he beheld it Besides it is a vulgar errour which represents the Iews of the ancient times whatsoever the modern think as looking for no other than a King when their Messiah should come for they looked for such a Saviour as should be withal the greatest Prophet that they had ever had Wherefore Iudas Maccabaeus when he had pulled down the Altar that the Heathen had desiled he laid up the Stones by advice until there should come a Prophet to shew what should be done with them And was not this the Question put to Iohn the Baptist Art thou that Prophet or do we expect another And the Woman of Samaria spoke no doubt the sense of Israel when she said I know that Messias cometh which is called Christ when he is come he will tell us all things But however the Iews were mistaken in their day our Saviour himself after his resurrection beginning at Moses and all the Prophets expounded unto his Disciples in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself And the like method did the Apostles use towards all men when they had received the Holy Ghost This especially they studied to clear That they brought in no new faith by Christ. But we believe saith S t Peter that through the grace of the Lord Iesus Christ we shall be saved even as they viz. the Fathers which had born the Yoke of the Law before till they were weary signifying that they were also saved by the same Grace of Christ and not by the Law before it was revealed by the Gospel in a clearer manner We having the same spirit of faith saith Saint Paul by which the Psalmist spoke in the place he citeth And if it be necessary to insist on more Texts they will be apt some of them to fall in with the Reasons which I shall set in order CHAP. XXIII The Church of the Old and New Testament but one Christ made known in all his Offices before his incarnation That he was King and Captain of his people 1 Cor. 10. illustrated That Christ was Mediator also of the first Covenant delivered by Moses THEY amount in effect to these First One Church Secondly One Head and Thirdly The same Operations of the Spirit before and since Which do all prove the unity or sameness of that saving faith which was common unto them and us For the first of these Quis unquam negavit Who ever denied or doubted but that the Saints of the Old Testament made up the same Body of the Catholick Church to which we hope to be joined The general Assembly and Church of the first-born which are written in Heaven and the Spirits of just men made perfect Or who ever questioned but that those were saved by some faith or other equivalent unto ours Wherefore Iesus also took with him Peter Iames and Iohn to be transfigured before them when there appeared also Moses and Elias talking with him that his Apostles might be joined to his Prophets by himself the Mediator not only betwixt God and man but of either Testament For there is but one Body and one Spirit and one Lord and one faith and one hope and one God and Father of all who is above all and through all and in us all as S t Paul expresseth it Ephes. 4.4 5 6. For the second Ex sponsione factâ ab antiquo as the Master of the Sentences speaketh by a certain compromise betwixt the Father and the Son our Blessed Lord and Saviour exercised all his Offices of King Priest and Prophet and was so obeyed and believed in according to the measure of revelation before he was incarnate and tanquam in praeludiis as the Fathers took the Phrase from one another he made himself manifest in sundry manners before he came in Person He appeared and communed with many but with Iacob only he vouchsafed to wrestle hand to hand and to name him Israel because he had prevailed with God And Iacob called the place Peniel for I have seen God saith he face to face and my life is saved To exemplify the appearances of Christ in these his Offices apart and severally through divers passages or places of the Old Testament may seem superfluous since they are to be found exerted there in act more than once and sometimes all at once In our Systems of Divinity they serve for better method or clearer illustration of some particular Points or Questions If he guided their Kings they expected another kind of Kingdom if he inspired their Prophets they expected another kind of Prophet when the time should come if they repaired to their Priests according to the Law they knew that they needed another Advocate or Intercessor in many Cases neither were they satisfied with any of their Sacrifices For thou desirest not sacrifice else would I give it Purge me with Hyssop and I shall be clean Create in me a clean heart and Deliver me from bloud-guiltiness that my tongue may sing aloud of thy righteousness c. Neither was this the Notion of so choice a Spirit as David's only but it passed into the Vulgar Doctrine of the Scribes for one of them replyed upon our Lord in these terms Well master thou hast said the truth for there is one God and to love him with all the heart is more than all whole Burnt-offerings and Sacrifices To whom our Lord again Thou art not far from the Kingdom of God Not as if Sacrifices the Ordinances and Sacraments of God could be neglected without which there was no remission of sin but because in Sacrifices there might be

after second Course As to the way of computing the Table annexed I need not say as S t Iohn does Here is wisdom let him that hath understanding count the number for he that has but so much understanding in Arithmetick as to perform Addition only may do this and therefore Sir I will trouble You no farther about that You will find that I have not confined my self precisely to two hundred and ten years but to two hundred and twelve which yet is less than either S t Walter Raleigh Helvicus or Petavius do allow for the Israelites stay in Egypt and yet I have not supposed any Children to be born after the two hundred and tenth year but only that they stayed two years more to this end that I might begin my Computation of those that were twenty years old and upwards fit for War with those that were born in the Year 192. But having such good authority as those three learned Chronologers I think I need make no farther Apology Petavius allowing no less than two hundred and fifteen years for their abode there But I must not forget my promise that I made to demonstrate that if the Israelites had continued in Egypt multiplying at the same proportion that they did whilst they were there they would in eighteen or twenty years time have encreased to a greater number than they did in four hundred and seventy three years afterwards For so many years it was according to Helvicus from the time of their deliverance out of Egypt to the time that David caused Ioab to number the people whereof I find two Lists returned 2 Sam. 24 and 1 Chron. 21. This last is the larger List and therefore I will pitch upon that it amounts to eleven hundred thousand But Levi and Benjamin were not counted among them 1 Chron. 21.6 For the King's word was abominable to Ioab But if ten Tribes give eleven hundred thousand what shall two Tribes give at the same proportion And the Answer is Two hundred and twenty thousand which added together make One million three hundred and twenty thousand men that drew the Sword that is that were twenty years old and upwards to about seventy Now if we suppose that the Israelites ●aid twenty years more that is to two hundred and thirty years then they who were born in the two hundred and tenth year will be full twenty years old and therefore if we begin there and add all the numbers together up to the year one hundred and sixty two inclusively they make nineteen thousand and fifty two which being multiplyed by seventy make one million three hundred thirty three thousand six hundred and forty which is thirteen thousand six hundred and forty more than they were at the latter end of David's Reign Quod erat demonstrandum And now Sir do You judge whether God Almighty was not as good as his word to Iacob Gen 46.3 Fear not to go down into Egypt for I will there make of thee a great Nation and whether this might not be done without multiplying of miracles for their production only by covering them under the shadow of his wings till their calamities were past For my part I think they do equal disservice to the Christian Religion who needlesly swell and aggrandize passages of Scripture into Mysteries and Miracles such as this I have been speaking of and that of S t Iohn 6.53 54 55. by the Doctrine of Transubstantiation and those who will solve all the Phaenonema of God's Providence and Proceedings and the greatest Mysteries of Faith such as the Doctrine of the Trinity the Incarnation of our Lord and Saviour Iesus Christ by bringing them down to the Level and Comprehension of our frail understandings as the Pelagians and Socinians For they who maintain that this vast encrease of the Israelites could be effected no otherwise than by constant Twins they do by that means make it look like an absurd Romantick Tale as if it were impossible to be effected unless every Israelitish Woman were like a Dorsetshire Ewe which seldom brings forth less than two Lambs at a time whereof their own History does not so much as pretend to make mention But I hope I have in some measure evinced the probability of the thing upon rational grounds at least in such a measure as could well be expected from a Batchelour who was never vers'd in this work of generation And perhaps it was for that very reason that You were pleas'd to single me out to discuss this Question from among the rest of your more learned Acquaintance that were married as having a charitable regard to that Chessboard-Proverb which You know We have sometimes occasion to make use of That a Stander-by sees more than the Gamesters But I must not part with You so without a more serious farewel and reflection on this occasion and expressing my hearty thanks for putting me on this useful and pleasant undertaking for by that means You have ministred to me an occasion of searching more narrowly into the series of God's Providence over the Children of Israel bringing the greatest events to pass by despicable nay contrary means in all humane appearance at the time when they were transacted Ioseph's Brethren by selling him to the Ishmaelites thought verily to have defeated the accomplishment of his aspiring Dreams and by that very means send him notwithstanding he pass'd through a Prison too to be no less that the Vice-Roy of Egypt and in that capacity their Sheaves come above twenty years after to do obeysance to his Sheaf and the Sun Moon and Stars to fall down before him Gen. 37. and he becomes their great Patron and Protector and in the place of God to them and their Posterity Gen. 50.19 I have before observed how God defeated at every turn the secret Plots and Machinations that were designed for the ruine of his Church and People and have not We seen fresh instances of the same nature even among our selves at this day as well as in every Age since the time of the Reformation wherein God Almighty has hitherto delivered us from the hands of our Roman Task-masters and I trust he will yet deliver us For the reviving and cherishing of which hopes and trust in the good Providence of God I must owne my self more beholden at this time to your obliging injunction than You can be to me for my slender performance which yet if it contribute though but remotely to the clearing of any weighty truth which You shall undertake it will be an additional satisfaction as it was the only design and intent of SIR Your most obliged humble Servant JAMES RUDYERD Winchfield November the 10 th 1681 Anni a migratione Jacobi in Aegyptum Filii nati quolibet anno sexto 1 1 6 1 12 1 18 1 24 1 30 2 36 3 42
