was Mary the daughter of Ioachin Eli of the kinred of Zorobabel the sonne of Salathiel of the tribe of Iudah Thus much he sayth Mary therefore was the naturall daughter of Eli or Ioachin But Ioseph the husbande of Mary was the sonne in law of the same Ioachin and by consequent was his lawfull sonne by affinity For as Mary was in the first degree of consanguinity to her father so was Ioseph in the first degree of affinity to his father in law seeing there was true matrimony betweene Ioseph and Mary Therefore S. Luke sayth That Christe was thought to be the sonne of Ioseph which was the sonne of Eli. That is to say his sonne in law and in the place of Mary he putteth her husband according to the custome of the Scriptures But S. Matthew describeth first the generations according to the lyne of Salomon the king vntyll there was none left of his race the which kynred faylyng he is afterwarde compelled to digresse into the lyne of Nathan because of hym were borne the successours of the kingdome as we said before in the 9. chapiter of our seconde Booke And S. Mathew agreeth with S. Luke vnto Zorobabel But because Zorobabel who was also called Barachias the sonne of Salathiel begate two sonnes that is to say Rhesa who was called Meshullam and Abiud who was called Ananias Therefore S. Luke prosecuteth the lyne of Nathan by his sonne Rhesa vnto the father of Mary the virgen and S. Matthew prosecuteth the same lyne by his sonne Abiud vnto the father of Ioseph the husbande of Mary Therefore both of them were borne of the seede of Dauid by the lyne of Nathan but Mary is borne by the one branch that is to say by Rhesa and Ioseph by the other branch that is to say by Abiud Philo the Hebrew sheweth vs these thynges and Iohn Annius in his Commentaries vpon the abbreuiaries of the same Philo declareth them plentifully Petrus Galatinus also describeth this Genealogie in his seuenth Booke and twelfe chapter agaynst the Hebrewes But in this he erreth That he agaynst the trueth thought that there were two Salathiels and two Zorobabels the which he prooueth not But he may easely be confuted by this in that the lyne of Salomon ended in the seuenth generation and in his Genealogie there is no Salathiel nor Zorobabel found Neyther could Ioseph descend from Salomon because his race was cut off many yeeres before But he sprang from the lyne of Nathan by the same Abiud as Mary sprang from the same lyne of Nathan by Rhesa as we haue sayd Salathiel therefore which is called the sonne of Ieconias by S Matthew is the same Salathiel which is called the sonne of Neri by S. Luke because Ieconias Neri and Ioachin Eli are the same men as Philo witnesseth For Ieconias who is also surnamed Neri begate Salathiel in Captiuity of whom Zorobabel was borne who was the Captayne of the people after theyr delyuery that is after the 70. yeeres desolation of the Temple VVhen S. Matthew therefore sayth And after the carying away into Babylon Ieconias begate Salathiel It is not to be vnderstoode that he begate hym after the Captiuity but after the carying away in the time of the Captiuity For Galatinus vrgeth by argument saying That there were more generations according to S. Luke and fewer according to S. Matthew because descending from Rhesa they begate sooner And those that were begotten of Abiud progenerated more slowly therefore they were more and these the fewer in number Augustine in his 16. Booke of the Citie of God and 11. chapter setteth downe this reason touching other generations saying Thus not because Heber was the sixt from Noah and Nimrod the fourth therefore they coulde not liue at the same tyme. For this falleth out that seeing they lyue longer where there are fewer generations and lesse tyme where there be more descentes that eyther they were borne later where there were fewer or sooner where there were more If Peter Galatinus had fully read the whole obseruation of Philo and the Comentarie of Ioannes Annius vpon the same without question he woulde not haue fallen into this errour But Galatinus declareth the rest aright which pertayne to this Genealogie There is therefore no disagreement founde betweene S. Matthew and S. Luke but eyther of them hath described aright the true Genealogie of CHRIST Thus farre speaketh Iohn Lucidus extreamely deceyued by a forged Philo whom with a like Berosus and Metasthenes all faygned in Italy of late dayes M. Ioseph Scaliger damneth not more vehemently then iustly and sharpely reproueth them who in their great lyght of learning that now shyneth in the worlde stayne their labours otherwyse good with such autours Thus sycke Romistes and others are but Iewes monstrously I will shew a cure for both But first marke the Iewes sicknes in Gemara They say in Tal. Saned Pa. 37. b. That captiuitie was an expiation for all sinnes And proue that by Iechonias whose sonne Salathiel is called after that God bade all the earth to write him chyldles But Zedekias case and Zachari might haue taught them to vnderstande sonnage in an other sense And seeing S. Luke preuented their errour they should not bring an instance from the matter in controuersie Moreouer it is manifest that captiuitie purgeth not sinne by them who with Zedekias were captiued who were as bad Figges Therefore they are grosely deceyued Rambam in his treatise of repentance shewing how it maketh men farre from God to be neare him bringeth Iechonias for an example who sayth he was a signet to be pluckt off and in Zorobabel is a signet agayne This Rabbine called of Iewes a great Eagle is blynde of the two eyes because he taketh it as graunted that Iechonias naturally begat Salathiel For Sedar Olam zuta warned him of this poynt that it was in deede the Rabbines report as hauing no further authoritie Also in that touchyng repentance he is doubly deceyued For if Iechonias repentance had been so singuler he had not been kept so long in Prison 37. yeeres all Nabuchadnezers lyfe tyme. In that age God vsually gaue open blessinges in kinges affayres Moreouer euen Moses repentance and prayer to enter Canaan could not preuayle against the oth of God So yf he had been Iob Noah or Daniel he could but saue his soule the decreed punishment he could not auoyde The blyndnes of the late Iewes may herein appeare Aben Ezra must also be dealt with who vpon the Cant. sayth that Christ is called Salomon because he commeth of him Can the most holy whose workes were knowne of eternity come of families most vngratious as of Ioram who kilde his owne brethren of Achazias Achabs lynage of Ioas that kilde Zachary of Amazia that worshypped Edom Gods of Achaz worse then he of Ioakim whom Rambam reckoneth amongst them that sinned agaynst the holy Ghost A kingdome of iustice woulde not be deriued from such
