that reason which he bringeth for it that is by the custome of the Hebrewes be approued Their moneths I graunt were in some sort taken by the course of the Moone But the continuance of their yeres was euer directed by the Sunne and that as well before the captiuitie of Babylon as after as may by good arguments out of holie Scripture be proued They were commaunded to celebrate their feast of vnleauened bread yearely from the 14. day of the first moneth to the 21. thereof answerable to our Aprill in part This was according to the course of the Moone And withall to keepe it yearely in that season of the yeare wherein their barlie haruest begun as is euidently to bee seene in the 23. chapter of Leuit. the 10. verse When yee bee come into the lande which I giue vnto you and reape the haruest thereof then ye shall bring a sheafe of the first fruites of your haruest vnto the Priest Which could not bee but by the course of the Sunne Likewise seuen weekes after that feast ended was appoynted the celebration of Whitsontide at the end of their haruest which for that cause is named the Haruest feast and the feast of first fruits whereof an offering was brought to the Lord Exod. 23.16 Lastly their feast of Tabernacles euery yeare was kept in the 15. day of the 7. moneth and withall in the ende of the yeare after their vintage in Autumne when all their grapes and other fruites of that season were gathered Exod. 23.16 Deut. 16. vers 13. It could not possiblie be that the end of their haruest should be euery yere 7. weekes after Easter and the end of their vintage called the end of the yeare alwayes from time to time in the 15. day of the 7. moneth but by the yeare of the Sunne whose course being finished brought it to passe Now that it seme not strange which I haue brought concerning the Iewes haruest beginning in Aprill and ending seuen weekes after toward the ende of Maye or not long after the beginning of Iune because in our countries it is much latter about August we are to knowe that Iewrie being a hotter countrie as nearer to the equinoctiall line and the sommer tropick then ours by 20. degrees hath the haruest by reason thereof much sooner then with vs is accustomed euen in their first month and the spring of the yeare The Isralites went ouer Iorden the 10. day of the first month being the time of haruest foure daies before their passe-ouer The disciples of Christ in the 6. of Luke the first verse Ios 3.15 and 4.19 and 5.10 a little after Easter walking through the corne plucked the eares of corne and rubbed them in their handes and did eate them VVhich argued the ripenesse of corne at that season Plinie in his 18. booke and 18. chapter speaking of the Egiptians which are neere vnto Iudea telleth that they goe into their fieldes with the sicle a little before Aprill and finish their haruest in May. These feastes then euery yeare falling to the time of haruest bring manifest proofe for the yeare of the Hebrewes that it was ordained by the course of the Sunne The time of the children of Israels eating Manna in scripture is accompted 40. yeares in the end of the 16. chapter of Exodus reckoned from their departure out of Egypt Nombres the 33. chapter the 38. vers Which number from the same season of the yeare to the same by the yeares of the sunne is most exact For they came forth of Egipt the 15. day of the first month in the beginning of barly haruest And the very same day of the same month in barly haruest their Manna ceased Ios 5.12 In the 25. chapter of Leuiticus the Isralites are commaunded to sow their feeld and cut their vineyardes and gather the fruites thereof 6. yeares and to let the 7. rest as a sabbath yeare to the Lord. And 7. of those sabbaths are accompted 49. yeares at the end whereof in the 10. day of the 7. month began the Iubelie These yeares most manifestly were yeares of the sunne Otherwise all the fruites of those yeares could not haue been gathered in haruest and vintage as God appointed For 49. yeares of the moone would verie neere haue cut off one and a halfe the last expiring in winter before anie corne or other fruite were redie to be gathered therein Daniell himselfe toward the beginning of this chapter made mention of the 70. yeares of captiuitie VVhere no one that euer I heard of vnderstood other yeares then of the sunne It were a strange thing if in one chapter first speaking of 70. yeares and after of 70. weekes of yeares he should vnderstand diuers sortes of yeares one of the sunne and an other of the moone Augustine in his 15. booke de ciuitate Dei the 14. chapter disputing against the opinion of some who were perswaded that the yeares of the ancient fathers which liued in the first age were not of the Sunne vseth these wordes Tantus tunc dies fuit quantus nunc est Tantus tunc mēsis quantus nūc est quem luna caepta finita conclusit Tantus annus quantus nunc est quem 12. menses lunares additis propter cursum solis 5. diebus quadrante consummant The daye was as great then sayth Augustine as it is now The moneth as great then as now contained within the compasse of the Moones course from the beginning to the end The yeare was then as great as now perfected by twelue moneths of the Moone with fiue dayes and a quarter added Twelue moneths of the Moone with fiue dayes and a quatter more make vp the Sunnes yeare the same which wee now vse at this day For euery moneth in old time by Augustines iudgement contained iust thirtie dayes as is to bee seene in his fourth booke De Trinitate the fourth chapter where he writeth thus Si 12. menses integri considerentur quos triceni dies complent talem quippe mensem veteres obseruauerunt quem circuitus lunaris ostendit That is if the twelue moneths whole bee considered which containe thirtie dayes a peece Such was the moneth by men of olde time obserued euē that which the course of the moone shewed This is manifest by the historie of Noes floud in the seuen and eight chapters of Genesis where we are taught that the floud begun the seuenteenth day of the second moneth and the Arke rested on a mountaine of Ararat in the seuenteenth day of the seuenth moneth Which space there by Gods holy spirit is counted 150. dayes which reckoning giueth to euery moneth thirtie daies a peece neither more nor lesse I might bring other testimonies to confirme this custome of the Hebrewes yere ordered by the compasse of the Sunnes mouing if it were needfull but I hope that which hath been sayd alreadie is sufficient to improoue the first shift of Africanus and other deuised by 490. short
