ΜΟΝΟΤΕΣΣΑΡΟΝ THE EVANGELICALL HARMONIE Reducing the foure Evangelists into one continued context and in it the entire historie of the acts and sayings life and death of our Lord and Saviour JESUS CHRIST duely ordered according to the distinction of times By HENRY GARTHWAIT ¶ Printed by THOMAS BUCK and ROGER DANIEL Printers to the Vniversitie of CAMBRIDGE MDCXXXIIII TO THE REVEREND AND RIGHT WORSHIPFULL JOHN BARKHAM Doctour of Divinitie Dean of BOCKING SIR HAving had the honour and happinesse for some yeares to live under your roof I have often observed your constant love and respectfull care to advance further any thing tending to publick good The desired imitation of this pattern first kindled in me the sparks of an ambitious resolution to exercise my self besides my ordinary sacred task in some such labour as might if not in the event prove beneficiall to all yet at least shew my willingnesse to employ my utmost abilitie to that end I fastened therefore upon this Harmonie and by Gods assistance have finished it in this form wherein none was ever yet extant in our own language nor to my knowledge in any other Yet because the best things published with the best intent seldome scape the lash of censorious readers these my first fruits as by right due to the Church I present to your self that under the shelter of your name I may adventure them to the view of these curious times You have the patronage of the father this his infant therefore having been conceived in your house and brought forth by your advice now stepping first into publick craves the priviledge of your protection and that as you were a daily encourager of my proceeding a witnesse of my care and faithfulnesse in the work pleased to commend it to the Professours in the Universitie who have the examination of what is made publick so this way also you would please to commend it to the world And besides which is the chief having no other means to expresse my gratefull remembrance of your continuall favours accept I beseech you this dedication of my labours to the memorie of your lasting name for if the gods as Plinie saith accept a plain cake of meal and salt offered in pure devotion by such as have no better incense then I doubt not you will accept of this as the free oblation of him who hath dedicated and devoted himself Your worships ever obliged to do you service HENRY GARTHWAIT To the Reader THough the sunne shine in its full brightnesse yet if either the eye be defective or the medium unfit or the object too remote we see but imperfectly So though truth be most resplendent in it self yet if either we be uncapable in apprehending or tho means unapt to convey or the truth to be known too farre distant either in place or time it seems not to be such to us as it is indeed in it own nature The God of truth willing to acquaint us with that truth which it most concerns us to know hath provided his Spirit to enlighten our understanding his Sonne and ministery the means to convey it and his written word to bring those things which were done many ages before our time and in places farre distant from us Galat. 3.1 so neare as if we had seen them acted before our eyes To this end our Saviour Christ did choose from among the Jews certain men Luke 1.2 which had known his life and doctrine from the beginning to be witnesses thereof to the Jews and Gentiles and selected two from among his apostles and from his disciples other two to commit them to writing Deut. 17.6 and 19.15 and transmit them to posteritie That if in other cases the witnesse of two or three were sufficient this of foure might abundantly satisfie any that should doubt of that truth which in times past did shine full bright among the Jews Especially having received what they deliver not onely by their own knowledge and experience 2. Pet. 1.21 but writing as they spake the dictates of the Spirit of God The writings therefore of one of these whom we call Evangelists 2. Tim. 3.16 being the testimonie of the holy Spirit 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 is of more value and ought rather to be credited then the testimonie of many nay of all men but all of them agreeing in one and the same truth their testimonie is so much the more enforcing as implying so many severall acts of one and the same Spirit producing in divers subjects one and the same effect even The mysterie of our Salvation by Jesus Christ For though every one of them follow his own peculiar method and order in the context of his historie and sometimes deliver the same thing in the same or other words or adde some circumstance to that which another had written or new matter altogether omitted by the rest and now and then seem not so much to respect order and method as faithfully to record things done yet in the undoubted truth both of Christs speeches and actions there is admirable consent and celestiall harmonie For the more cleare demonstration of this the learned from the very primitive times through all ages to this of ours have bestowed much labour and extraordinarie industrie in comparing of their testimonies together as Tatianus the scholar of Justin Martyr Ammonius Origens master Theophilus Antiochenus Epiphanius contra Alogos S. Augustine in his foure books of the consent of the Evangelists After them Petrus Comestor Bonaventura Ludolphus de Saxonia Joannes Gerson And of late Andreas Osiander Codomannus Molineus Jansenius Barrhadius Calvinus Selmatterus and many others by whose labours in that kinde the Church of God hath been much enlightned and adorned Yet this as it was performed by severall men so was it done in a diverse manner Some of them reduced all the foure Evangelists into the method text of one the manner whereof appeares by those Canons yet remaining extant in S. Hierome Tom. 6. in initio Others placed the severall texts collaterally in one page leaving it to the reader to judge what was added or delivered otherwise by any one of them And this order the most of later times have followed Calvin excepted who harmonizeth onely the three first placing S. John by himself as hardly reducible to the other three Others again have reduced all the foure into one continued context bringing in every one in his due place and own words delivering his part of the historie of Christ Of this sort among the Romane Catholicks Jansenius among the Catholick Protestants that incomparable Divine Dr. Chemnitius Helvic chron who departing this life in the yeare 1588 when he had onely finished the two first books it was continued by Lyserus but he likewise leaving it unfinished there was not any found that durst put his hand to the perfecting of that table of Apelles till after fifteen yeares it was undertaken and in few yeares made
