Against curiosity from our weakenes I write the positions folowing to make that cleere which if men would not resist their owne iudgement had neuer ben thought obscure but by vs hath been perniciously encombred Positions opening the Chronicle of Scripture HE that wyll deny the course of tyme to be in Scripture cleerely obserued euen vnto the fulnes the yeere of saluation wherin our Lord dyed may as wel deny the Sunne to haue brightnes The particulers are set downe in my booke chayning the Text. And though many do differ in their Chronicles yet these poyntes being cleered all stryfe ceasseth 1 One that the Greeke translaters added for a close purpose yeeres betwixt Adam and Abraham 1350. which yeeres are all feigned VVhereof I wrote at large in Melchisedek how in trueth the Hebrew must stande with yeres 2083. and hath alwayes in these west partes of the worlde been folowed though the Arabique and Ethiopian helde after the Greeke The seconde is 2 That presently after Terahs death Abraham at 75. yeeres receiued the Promise 430. before the Law 480. more before the Temple and 36. more before Salomons death The thirde is 3 That 390. yeeres Ezek. 4. are from Ieroboams drawyng Israel away vnto the 19. of Nebucadnezar That from his 19. yeere or thirde Captiuitie of Iuda 52. from his taking of Ierusalem are of captiuitie and 70. from his first yeere to Baltasars death The fourth and last is 4 That vpon the seauenty of captiuity the 70. seauens of deliuerie for eternal freedome must begin and must ende when our Lord by death findeth vs an euerlasting redemption These last three I endeuour to cleere Obseruations touching some doubtes stirred concernyng Abrahams age and the Promise with a controlment of 60 yeeres errour and of 5. where some fall into 60. onely some 5. onely some 60 and 5. 1 SAint Stephen saying that God remooued Abraham from Charan after his fathers death may not be excused as though he had spoken necligently as Bucholcherus doth qualifie his wordes but requireth beliefe in the simple sence of his wordes 2 The Greeke Philo the true Philo not the forged telleth truely that after the death of Terah God remooueth Abraham from Charan and that then Abraham was 75. 3 Iewes malicious were the fyrst that feigned Abraham to leaue Terah 60. yeeres in Charan 4 All they do the lyke who make Terah father to Abraham at 70. and not at 130. for adde the 75. of Abraham to the 70. of his father and it maketh but 145. yeeres and there remaine 60. of Terahs 205. 5 It is a fayre consequent that Abraham being 75. yeeres olde at his fathers death was borne at Terahs 130. 6 The playne order of the text at the first woulde haue taught so much For thus the wordes he in order And the dayes of Terah were 205. yeeres and he died in Charan and God sayd vnto Abraham Get thee from thy fathers house and in thee all the nations of the earth shalbe blessed and Abraham was 75. yeeres olde 7 VVhen Moses sayth that Terah lyued 70. yeeres and begat Abraham Nachor and Charan he placeth Abraham first not as though he had been eldest but for other respectes 8 As Moses reckoneth Noahs sonnes not in senioritie thus Iapheth Sem and Cham but beginnyng with the worthiest and so goyng to the next in yeeres to hym and endyng with the eldest so he beginneth with Abraham the worthiest and endeth with the eldest 9 Also for the weakenes of men Moses hideth his minde that the prophane should not soone spie the paradoxe that Nachor at 29. yeeres olde begate Terah and dyed at 148. and Terah begate Abraham at 130. They who knew not how strangenesse for Abraham to be father of the worlde was fittest to styrre studie woulde at the first stumble at the vnequalitie And for the same cause it may well be thought the Greeke interpreters added 100. yeeres to each father that was not 100. yeeres olde at his fatherhood as is declared in the treatise of Melchisedek How the malitious Iewes condemne them selues THe Iewes generally graunting Sem to be Melchisedek and that truely shoulde make hym delyuer the blessing to one that dyed before the blesser which thyng cannot agree with the wisedome of a Prophet yf Abraham were borne at Terahs 70. for he shoulde die not onely before Sem 34. yeeres but also before Selah 3. yeeres It is the Rabbines generall opinion that Ischa the daughter of Charan is Sarai who was but ten yeres younger then Abraham in Zakuto VVherefore Abraham euen by them selues is determined to be younger then Charan in Sanedrin Of Gilbert Genebrard Genebrard enclyneth to make Charan father to Sarai at 8. yeeres though the Iewes reuoke that but his errour sheweth that the Chronicle must stande to make Abraham borne at Terahs 130. yeeres of age Of the Promise that it was not made fiue yeeres afore God speaketh to Abraham In thee all nations shalbe blessed nor afore Abraham left Charan Ch 4. THe doubt herein aryseth from malitious Iewes seekeing the disgrace of S. Paul Gal. 3.17 where he telleth that the Lawe came after the Promise 430. yeeres The doubt is coloured from Gen. 15 13. Thy seede shalbe a stranger in a lande that is not theirs and shall serue them and they shall entreate them euill 400. yeeres Questions hereupon aryse two 1 VVhether the terme beginneth since Abraham left the seede on a strange lande and both markes go to one tyme Or 2 VVhether the affliction be after the fift of Isaak These Iewes begin the tyme from Isaaks birth Sal. Iarchi Aben Ezra Ramban Abrabbaneel Baal Shemoth Rabba Baalsedar Olamzuta Baalseder Olam Rabba Bochai Chizkuny And Rambam in his agreeable Total sum for the worlde in Halacoth Iobal Elias Misrachi is more vehement reasoning that the affliction was but in Egypt and therefore from Isaaks birth wyll needes haue the terme of yeeres and not from the affliction How these Rabbines shoulde disanull S. Paul If 400. yeeres onely be from Isaaks birth to the Law 30. before the birth of Isaak shall fall to Abrahams 70. Now that promise was not tyl Abrahams 75. Therefore the consentyng to the Iewes herein should disanul S. Paul and that goodly promise of Christ A confutation of these Rabbines from them selues 1 Aben Ezra sayth that the wordes in Gen. 12. were spoken 5. yeeres afore Abraham left Charan Abrabbaneel telleth hym that that is a flat lye vpon Gen. 12. And iust cause had he so to do Ralbag is confuted with hym for so much 2 But Abrabbaneel and Iarchi and the seder Olam Rabba and the more ancient the Middras and the other troupes they begin the 430. yeeres from the tyme of Abrahams sacrificing Gen. 15. and feigne that Abraham was twyse called from Charan once fiue yeeres before that which is mentioned But this is nothing els then to bring a leprosie vpon Scripture to feigne a storie 3 Moreouer the blynde may see that the speech had in

It conteyneth deepe matter in it For who woulde not be astonished consideryng that God sendeth all men to learne the age ●f the worlde from the recorde of the Fathers vnto Terah vnlesse he knew the purpose to declare the fathers of whom Christ commeth Now it is more strange that thence it is not continued by Abraham Isaak and Iacob three so rare men But the course is broken of at Terahs death and soone after a new order is taken how many dayes or monethes after I dare not discusse But presently thence in the narration from the promise of Christ the Epoche goeth and Abrahams age is tolde what it was then which can not be exactly gathered how from his fathers age it dependeth as the Learned cast all from Adam to Charans byrth at Terahs seuentyeth yeere exactly From the perigrination vpon the promise of Christ vnto the Lambe the yeeres are to the very day and lykewyse thence to the Temple what day of what yeere from the Lambe it was buylt in what yeere of the king the buylder and how long he reigned and how long after the diuision euen to what day of what moneth it was brent for idolatry Then the exact accompt for day and moneth is not layde downe though the whole Captiuity be recorded for the iust yeeres VVhen it is ended thence a new vpon a rare occasion to a rare man by an Angel the onely of any created that hath a proper name of Angel the tyme is pared out in a rare phrase of speach vnto the death of Christ our sauiour vnto the very tyme of the euenyng offeryng when he offered vp him selfe The speach and the matter is so heauenly and precious that as of olde tyme that prophecy was openly read of all the Iewes and knowen of all the East it doubtles Iosephus meant bell Iud. 7 12. So all the worlde from their Childhood should read it and all the learned shoulde styll reduce the new Testament vnto it and expounde the olde Testament by it For it is the abridgement of the New and the key of the Olde The state after our Lordes death is called A new Heauen And his death ended the last Olam or Iubilee or yet the later part of the olde worlde as that part before the flood is tearmed of S. Peter Thus Seder Olam shalbe a goodly title for the Ebrew accompt from since the first Adam stoode on the earth vntyll the seconde Adam arose from the dust and went into the heauens Certaine obseruations I haue writted for this space registred by the wysedome of God to keepe the holy text in his natiue clearenesse agaynst entanglementes of Iewes and Gentiles I coulde wysh the dexterity of Daniels wit For the matter is worthy And that which my paynes coulde breede I was desirous to commende to your Lordshyp Some remembrance I woulde leaue how much I am beholdyng to your Honour though none writes in a Calender all good thinges done to him Of your Lordshyp I may say out of Homer that you haue been vnto me as a father to the sonne and I wyll neuer forget that tenderyng I founde many honourable Patrons but your Lordshyps charges were the greatest The Archbyshop of Canterburies grace was the meanes sone after my comming to Cambridge in my young yeeres to procure me a continuall profession of Homers tongue Whervpon with al speede the rest of my successe proceeded vntyll Sir VValter Mildmayes Lecture in Greeke with the gyft of six Scholershyps as I woulde and his fatherlike fauour better encoraged my paynes And I shoulde iniury all the Gouernoures of Cambridge yf I woulde not acknowledge continuall singuler cherishing and one poynt in offering whether Lecture I woulde of Iapheth and Sems chiefe tongues But there to me your Lordshyps charges was fiue and twentie times more then the priuate Greeke profession and about ten tymes the Value of a Felowshyp by yeere The greatest alowance that any Noble man graunted any Scholer So great a desire you had that my paineful and chargeful race of study which you iudged by your experience able to go through the pikes agaynst common errours shoulde there haue practise and tryall And when good desart and the best then taken in hand vpon graue request and orderly vsed was least regarded and worst recompenced in all mens sight by a good mans errour not of yll wyl yet so that you heard and hundreths more saw an iniury the same alowance you continued to my priuate labour VVhereby my Greeke translation of the Hebrew Prophetes was wrought That diligence calling all East and VVest forces of study togeather Hebrew Babylonian Chaldean Syrian Arabian al together mixt in the Cabala Greekes of all sortes Latines of all sortes all vsed skilfully seruantes to the Temple That diligence made me enterprise the Herculean labour of the Harmony I thinke you remember D.

thy countrey and from thy kindred and from thy fathers house vnto the lande that I wyll shew thee And I wyll make of thee a great nation and wyll blesse thee and make thy name great and thou shalt be a blessing I wyll also blesse them that blesse thee and curse them that curse thee and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed So Abram departed euen as the Lord spake vnto him and Lot went with him And Abram was seuentie and fiue yeeres olde when he departed out of Charan Then Abram tooke Sarai his wife and Lot his brothers sonne and all their substaunce that they possessed and the soules that they had gotten in Charan and they departed to go into the land of Chanaan and to the land of Chanaan they came Now the former text of S. Stephen is relied vpon Gen. 15 7. where the Lord saith I am EL the Lord that brought thee out of VR of the Chaldees to giue thee this land Moses in the due place closely passeth ouer the appearing to Abraham as he doth the idolatrie of Terah And to shew Terahs repentaunce he maketh hym as principall of the iourney saying And Terah tooke Abram Lot and Sarai and they went forth with them from VR of the Chaldeans to goe into the land of Chanaan And they came to Charran and stayed there and Terah died in Charan Here only closely he maketh Abram autour of the iourney when he sayth And they went foorth with them not with him When Iosuah sayth Our fathers beyonde the Riuer woorshypped strange Gods euen Terah the father of Abraham he maketh Moses more cleere that to Abraham in VR God appeared by whom Terah was mooued to goe with Abraham Now Moses mentioneth onely the appearyng to Abraham and the bringing of hym out of VR but leaueth the speach to be gathered by the argument whence S. Stephen doth frame it by the lyke from Genesis the .12 sauing that after Terahs death God biddeth him leaue his fathers house and not his lande and kindred onely They who referre the latter speach to the first callyng make the departure from Charran to haue no calling though it be sayde And Abraham went as God sayde vnto him Of this also Bucholcherus hath written well but that he can not see how VR Chasdim should be in Mesopotamia But Abrabbaneel taketh part with S. Stephen for that and proueth VR and Charran to be neare togeather and both in one countrey and both to be the countrey of Abrahams kindred And thus much for the seconde knot of the Chronicle Of the thirde knot MAister Ioseph Scaliger affirmeth that the Temple stoode 427. yeeres that is 37. vnder Salomon and 390. after Israel fell from Iudah For the 390. I haue cited els where many Christians rightly agreeing But one Iew against their malicious and deceitefull crew is of more force then all our testimonies in our owne cause when we make the Iubilees fall out with our Lord his death and they woulde rather leape into Gehenna then suffer that brightnes of Moses and the Gospel So one Iew in this case hath more auctoritie then many of vs for Ezekiels 390. yeeres Thus sayth R. Abraham ben Dauid in Kabalah The Temple stoode 427. yeeres Of this testimony I wyll speake as Paul speaketh of Epimenides verse that it is a true testimony An Obiection VVhen we reckon the kinges of Iudahes yeeres their particulers ouerreach this summe Aunswere They are not all perfect and absolute yeres which are geuen to those kinges Amongst those kinges many fathers and sonnes reigned togeather as in Iosophat and Ioram eight of their yeeres in the one of them must be drowned vp in the accompt So three of Ioas are drowned in Amasia as many of Iotham are also common with Achas And that must be tryed by comparison with the yeeres of the kinges of Israel as of ancientie the Iewes noted in Talmud Ierusalemy in Rosh hashana Perek 1. Many learned men haue taken right paynes that way Thedoret for Geeekes Genebrard for Romistes and Math. Beroaldus whom I holde to haue the right summe they differ but yeeres a peece for the whole tyme of Israel that is vnto the sixt of Ezekias afterwardes when Iudah is reckoned alone the lyke synarchy or felowshyp in gouernment falleth not out because they were not in such dayly troubles then as whyle Israel stoode Also great summes from place to place geue great light where by broken vnperfect yeeres the matter woulde be somewhat doubtfull Examples of helpes by great summes The warres of Baasa with Asa were in the 36. yeere of Asas kingdome yet Baasa dyed in the 26. of Asas reigne So the accompt from the beginnyng of Asas kingdome that of Iudah parted from Israel was the best note which was the 16. of Asas owne reigne The yeeres of Omry his house are also tolde in one summe when Achazia being but 22. yeeres olde and his father dying at 40. yet then Achazia is Ben of 42. As Saul was Ben of two yeeres not of his owne age but of the kingdome in Omryes house whence Athalia his mother was The not obseruing of that hath bred notes that trouble our teachers and learners Of the 65. yeeres in Esay 7. The head of Aramis Damaskus and the head of Damaskus is Rezin But when 65. yeeres come he shalbe broken to Ephraim from being any people Kimchi doth expound this place to take the accompt from the tyme that Amos prophecied that Aram shoulde be captiued to Kyr Iarchi and Abrabbaneel holde it spoken of Ephraims captiuity But that can not stand without denial of the 22. yeres vacation of king which was after the death of Ieroboam Ben Ioas. For it is from the death of Ieroboam Ben Ioas whereas he must die in the 15. of Vziah vnto the sixt of Ezekias and ende of Israels kingdome aboue 70. yeeres There this text of Esay putteth all to seeke better Of which place I wyll not detemine but onely would shew how great summes call many particulers to a grosse summe Such are many accomptes in Ieremy and Ezekiel The prophet Ieremy reckoneth 23. yeeres from the 13. of Iosias vnto the first of Nebuchadnezar Ezekiel reckoneth 40. yeeres alone whiche the learned many rightly make to be the time from Ieremyes prophecying to the burning of the Temple Also Ezekiel beginneth from the 18. of Iosias in the accompt of his 30. yeeres Ch. 1 1. as he is vnderstoode of Hebrewes Greekes and Latines And agayne he hath an accompt double for one vision which was In the 25. yeere of our captiuity as he speaketh and in the 14. yeere after the citie was stroken Ezek. 40 1. These places call to a further tryall any errour that falleth out in accomptes within these spaces whereby the trueth wyll be sone knowen Of vniuersall errours of the Iewes inuented continued and helde yet of malice against Christ and folowed by Christians of no small note THe last place
