ver 7. Et quaerite pacem Civitatis c. And seek the peace of the City whither I have caused you to be carryed away Captives and pray unto the Lord for it for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace After this they say another Prayer called 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Musaph Additamentum an Additional Prayer wherein is read the sacrifice that was wont to be offered in the Temple and thus is their Morning Prayer ended 20. They have their Sermons also or Preaching which is performed either in the the Morning or in the Afternoon in the School or some other place designed for that purpose wherein they treat of Good Manners and reprove Vices fitting their Discourse to the Ordinarie Lesson for the day that was taken out of the Pentateuch and citing many Sentences out of the Rabbines as hath been formerly declared Par. 2. cap. 1. 21. In the Evening they repair to the School again where after the Ordinarie Prayers are said there is added a Commemoration of the Sabbath and the Beginning of the Lesson for the Week following is read out of the Pentateuch by three persons 22. They use to make three Meals that is to say they sit down to meat three times during the time that the Sabbath lasteth namely once on Friday night and twice the day following doing this in Honour of the Feast And the Table-cloth continues laid all the day long 23. In the Evening when the time is come that they can now see three stars of the middle Magnitude they account the Sabbath to be at an end and it is now lawfull to do any manner of work so soon as ever the Evening Prayer is begun to which they make the lesse haste that they may not seem to Anticipate or end the Sabbath before the due time 24. They adde to the Ordinarie Evening Prayers a certain Commemoration or Acknowledgment of the Sabbaths being a day distinguished and set apart from the Week-daies saying also the 91. Psalm Qui habitat in Adjutorio Altissimi c. He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty c. and many other Verses out of the Scripture treating of Blessings and Prosperitie and the like 25. Then returning each man to his own home they light a Torch or Lamp with two wicks in it at least and taking a Bowl of Wine in one hand and sweet spices in the other they say certain verses out of the Prophets touching Prosperitie and Blessings and also out of the 116. Psalm Calicem salutis accipiam c. I will take the Cup of Salvation and call upon the name of the Lord and likewise out of Esther cap. 8. ver 16. Judaeis autem nova lux c. The Jewes had Light and gladness and joy and honour and the like praying withall that the week following may be prosperous unto them After this they blesse the wine and the sweet spices withall smelling to them that so they may seem to begin the week with delight and pleasure then do they also blesse the Light of the Fire which as yet hath not been made any use of withall looking upon their own heads because now they may fall to their work again And all these things are with them of very mysterious signification Now the meaning of all this is to signifie that the Sabbath is now ended and that that Instant of time divides it from the Working-daies and having so said it is quite finished Now all this Ceremonie is for the same Reason called 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Habdalah which is as much as to say Distinction which being now ended they cast a little of the wine upon the ground in token of joy and gladnesse and some use to sing certain songs and verses Ominating Prosperitie and good Fortune the week following And from henceforth it is lawfull for them to do any work 26. When they salute one another that night they do not say God give you a good Night but God send you a good week CHAP. II. Of the Beginning of their Moneths and of their Order and Names and of the Thirteenth Moneth THe Jewes reckon their Moneths according to the Revolution of the Moon so that every Moneth contains 29 daies and the third part of a day and every New-Moon is the Beginning of a moneth 2. Heretofore in Ancient times they were used to send forth two out of the Sanhedrim that is to say the Judges of Jerusalem to be Witnesses of the New Moon 's Appearance which as soon as they had discovered they presently returned and gave notice thereof to the rest of the Judges who immediatly appointed and published that day to be Caput Mensis the Head or Beginning of the Moneth and in this manner did they Order the businesse for the finding out the Times that all their Feastivals were to be kept at But now since the destruction of the Temple it is done by Computation and there is Yearly a Kalendar or Monethly Almanack made and Printed by which they may find out the Age of the Moon together with the time of its Change and the four Quarters with all the Feastival daies throughout the Yeer and all other the like things And they Now set down in their Kalendars the Feastival daies of the Christians also for the better Ordering of their businesse and Affairs wherein they have to deal with Them 3. Their Caput Mensis which sometimes is two daies together that is to say the End of One Moneth and the Begining of the Next is a Feastival Time with them as it is commanded Num. 10. ver 10. Also in the day of your gladnesse and in your solemn daies and in the Beginnings of your Moneths ye shall blow with the Trumpets over your Burnt-Offerings c. and also because there was then a New Sacrifice to be Offered as is enjoyned in the 28. Chap. ver 11. And in the beginnings of your Moneths ye shall offer a Burnt-Offering unto the Lord Two Young Bullocks and One Ram c. But yet it is Lawful on these Daies to do any manner of Work or Businesse Onely the Women use to abstain from working on these daies The Solemnitie of these Feasts is shewed chiefly in Feeding more Plentifully and being more Frolick at their Meat 4. At the time of Prayers there is notice given to all that That day is the Beginning of the Moneth and so they say certain Psalmes from the 113. unto the 118. Then do they take Out the Book of the Law and the Lesson is read by Four persons After this they adde the Musaph wherein they make mention of the Sacrifice that was wont to be offered upon that day 5. The next Sabbath Eve after the Change of the Moon or else the next Evening after the New Moon hath first appeared they all meet together and say a Laudatorie Prayer to God who hath created the Planers and that reneweth the Light of the Moon
