A Concent of Scripture.

THe heauenly Concent of holy Wryters, who hauehave penned for vsus the booke of Trueth, is needefull to be knowen for to ſtrengthen our Fayth, that we may ſee a conſtant agreement in ſeuerall ages,Ebr. 1, 1. for matters often tolde in diuers partes and maner. Touchyng that, I labour in this Booke to lay downe certayne principall heades drawen through the whole body of Scripture. The beginnyng ought to be from hym who is A and foreign,Apoc. 1, 8. the beginnyng and the ende: who filleth all with his goodnes. Thereof this is a true ſaying, and founde intertaynement of all the fayth full that GOD is one, and there is none but he. Of this, that is grauen on the Gate of that fyrſt and great Commaundement:*Deut 6, 4. Mark. 12, 29. Heare ISRAFL, IEHOVAH, our GOD IEHOVAH, is one. Whom if we louelove with all our hart, mynde, ſoule, and ſtrength: and holde them happy whoſe ☽Pſal. 33, 12.God IEHOVAH is, we muſt learne to know him aright. The name IEHOVAH importeth BEING, which the Eternal ſayth is his name. ‡1. Iohn. 5, 7.VnderUnder this name and nature, there be three, the Father, the Worde, and the holy Ghoſt, and theſe three are one. The WORDE is the Sonne, and he is§Ramban the Cabaliſt noteth that Chriſt is called Iehouah, vponupon Gen. 34. from Ier. 23 6. and 33, 16. IEHOVAH, as Iohn Cha. 12, 41. expoundeth Eſay. 6, 9. The holy Ghoſt isaforeign IEHOVAH, as Paule expoundeth the ſame text of Eſay, Acte. 28, 25. This name is opened thus:bforeign WHO WAS, WHO IS, WHO WILBE. The names IAH, & EHIEH, cforeign(I, AM) are of the ſame force. Though mens blynde hartes can not thus know God: The Scriptures are manifeſt, that teach the Trinitie, and the holy Tongues of all ages ſo ſpake of God. Moſt playnely is that ſhewed in the beginnyng & ende of our Lord his preachyng. Mat. 3 1. & 28, 19. For that purpoſe God geueth hym ſelfe a named ELOHIM: which is in meanyng MIGHTY,†The forme plural in Elohim is rightly noted of many learned in Ebrevv, to import the diuine perſones, That should not hauehave been blamed of others. in forme plurall, as Gramarians ſpeake: which as Prophane men ſpeake it, by frame of language ſoundeth GODDES. God woulde neuer ſo ſpeake of hym ſelfe, vnleſſe he would hauehave vsus to conſider thereby the diuine perſons. For the forme were dangerous, if neceſſitie required not knowledge of diſtinct diuine perſons. The enemies graunt a myſtery in that forme, with attributes plurall: Aben Ezra vponupon Pſal. 11. who alſo citeth R. Iaphath, there.

This name hath alſo a forme ſingulareforeign ELOAH, & a ſhorterfforeign EL. Theſe formes ſingular are fit to teach, of the vnitie of Godhead: and lykewyſe the other when the attributes ſpeake of one, as ELOHIM, (GOD) he created. But to manifeſt diſtinct perſons often do the …earmes ioyned ſpeake in the number of many, as yf I ſhoulde ſay THEY God.‖The faythles Iewes can not tel vvhat to ſay of theſe playne places, as appeareth in Maſſecheth Sopherim, Cha. 4. Gen. 20, 13. They God cauſed 2. Sam. 7, 22. They God went.

e SHADDAI alſo doth God call him ſelfe MIGHTY, RICH, or ALSVFFICIENT: Though the Greke Diuines reteyne not the letters, but …n a compoſition*foreign. TZVRI SHADDAI, My rocke is God. The Heathen of olde heard of theſe names, and turned them to ſundry Goddes. But Iſrael did not ſo. All faythfull know that GOD is one, and the perſons three:Ebr. 11, 6. and that he regardeth all them, that feeke him in ſpir… and trueth: who is a ſpirite eternal, infinite, holy, iuſt, and mercifull. Vnſearchable are his iudgementes:Iohn. 4, 24. Rom. 11, 33. Deut. 29, 29. Epheſ. 2, 4. Act. 15, 18. Exo. 20. but the open thynges are for vsus. GOD hath choſen vsus in CHRIST, before the worlde was made: and of eternitie knew all his owne workes. In ſixe dayes God made all creatures, Man laſt, and gaue them a commaundement: which how ſoone they brake Moſes turneth to tell after mention of the Sabbath. The Lord reſted the ſeauenth day from creatyng, and appoynted that day for holy reſt: which the Fathers obſerued before Moſes.

Now the man and his wyfe were both naked, & were not aſhamed.Ramban vponupon Gen. 26 fol. 46. & Abenezra vponupon. Exo. 20. Pſal. 91, 11. Iohn. 8, 44. 1. Iohn. 3, 44. 2. Pet 2, 4. Iud 6. Epheſ. 2, 1. Ouer them God gaue his Angels charge: but ſome Angels ſtoode not in the trueth, nor kept their ſtandyng, but fell as Starre… from heauen, and became an enemious company, and ſtaunderers of God. In Ebrew Satan, & in the Grake Deuels. Of beaſtes the Serpent was ſubtileſt: into whom Satan entred: ſpake to the woman agaynſt God, and his commaundement: perſwaded her, who drew the man alſo to breake the commandement. Then they both became dead in ſinne. So from the beginning, as ſone as man was, Satan was a lyer and a murtherer: and therefore marueyle not that the wrath of God is ſo vehement vppon ADAM through al his generatiō:, becauſe quickly ſinne was committed to the extremitie. The circumſtaunces ſhew the ſpedines of it. Satan woulde omit no tyme: the woman if ſhe had ben practiſed better woulde not ſo ſone hauehave erred: their ſpeach ſheweth that no Fruite had been eaten before. Doubtles the woman fell a Virgin: and yf they had ſtoode but a ſhort tyme, the bleſſing of God had not been in vayne for propagation. Aboue all reaſones this muſt be confidered, that the Redemption was to be ſhewed preſently vponupon the Creation. For that is the fytteſt to mooue men to holde it: and God omitteth nothyng that beſt helpeth to that. This ſhoulde moue all men to put no truſt in them ſelues: for that*That in Pſal. 49, 20. is holden of Clem. R. Nathan, R. Menachem, and Midrad Tillin, to be ſpoken of Adam. Adam hauyng once iuſtice, and true holynes, did not lodge one nyght in honoure, but became lyke the Beaſtes that peryſh. And the lyght that ſhyneth in darknes, mooued men of all religions to holde this. For this opinion hath been eueryevery where receyued, that they fell the day of their creation. So the Ievves generally holde. I heard neuer of one that was of an other iudgement: and yet many of them ſee not how fitly they ſay, for the Redemption by the ſeconde Adam. The Heathen‡Bibliander preface in Chro. Chriſtians hauehave helde this from the beginnyng. The Gre…et Ireneus, Chryoſtome, Theodorus, Theophylaſt, and Cedrenus age. They hauehave a common ſentence at this day, in ſpeache of Adam: that in one day he was formed and deformed: by dryuing out of the Garden. What ſhoulde I name Latines, as Auguſtine and Bernarde? the§Euen Chaucers pardouer. fol 66. They hauehave ſtrange eares, eyes, & mindes, that holde this … curious or vncertayne poynt. ſimpleſt learned this much. Adam myght better then Iob curſe the day wherein he was made and yet CHRIST is then promiſed a Redeemer. Therevpon Adam nameth the Woman LIFE: ſeeying how ſhe redeemed from death ſhoulde be the mother of Chyldren that by CHRIST myght lyue for euer. The affections of Chyldren to theyr Mothers ſhould moue them to know the trueth of this poynt. I wyl once againe in fitte place repeate this: and hence to Chriſt his death wyll by yeeres expreſſe the direct ſtate of the Worlde, repeatyng theſe laſt poyntes… of the ſpeedy fall, and comfortable Redemption.

THE ſtate of the fourtie yeeres of IEREMIE is more largely handled in Gods booke,Ezek. 4, 6. thē that eueryevery yeres ſtory may be touched once in one line: wherefore I wyll ſo farre breake of the Chronicle, as to make ſome diſcourſe of thinges fallyng out within it.Iere. 7, 14. All IOSIAS dayes IEREMY taught freely,2. King. 23, 21. 2. Chro. 34, 21. Sophe. 1. that IERVSALEM ſhould be as SYLOH. The king reformed his ſtate, kept a moſt ſolenne Paſſeouer, and looked for captiuitie: but God reiourned it vntyl his death. SOPHONY after reformation, warneth the kinges ſonnes of Gods iudgement,2. K in. 23, 29. The fyfth calamitie. and blameth many for cloſſe Idolatrie. On EGYPT they ſtayed, whoſe king NECHO killed at MAGEDDON, IOSIAS the vncted of IEHOVAH. That ZACHARY remembreth.2 Chro. 35, 20. 2. King 23, 34 The ſyxth calamitie. Cha. 12. and ſheweth, that ſuch ſhalbe their mournyng for killyng of CHRIST: but to better cōfort. Then Necho helde CARCHEMYS againſt ASSVR, and diſplaced king IOACHAZ, carrying him into EGYPT, and placed ELIAKIM king in IVDAH, changing his name vntounto IEHOIAKYM. In the firſt yeere of Iehoiakym Ieremy doth prophecie, that SALLVM or IOACHAZ ſhall not returne from EGYPT but dye there. Chr. 22. That NABVCHADNEZAR ſhalbe king of BABEL: Iere. 27, 12.& TZEDEKIAS of IVDAH: that IERVSALEM ſhalbe made as SYLOH. VRIAH is kylde, & IEREMY quit. His thyrd yeere endyng, and much of his fourth,Iere. 26, 23. Dan. 1, 1. Iere. 25, 1. is the fyrſt of Nabuchadnezar. Then Ieremy prophecieth that NECHOS Garriſons of CARCHEMYS, and al EGYPT ſhalbe ſubdued by Nabuchadnezar. The former preſently tooke effect. Nabuchadnezar commeth agaynſt Ieruſalem, and Ieremy telleth againe more particulerly of Nabuchadnezars power and kingdome to be great for ſeauentie yeeres:Dan. 1. The ſeuenth calamitie. and of Ieruſalems deſolation for ſeauentie. Then Ieruſalem beſieged his taken, IEHOAKIM, DANIEL, ANANIAS, AZARIAS, and MISAEL, with others of the kinges ſtocke, are brought to BABEL. The king is ſent home agayne, & made tributarie to Nabuchadnezar. Iere. 36, 15. Iere 22, 19. 2. King. 24, 1, 2. Chro. 36, 6. Dan. 1, 8. Leuit, 11.The ſame yeere: and the next Ieremy lamenteth Ieruſalem. BARVC is his Scribe, readeth his Lamentations: which IEHOAKYM cut in peeces: thereupon God telleth that he ſhal be buried as an Aſſe. Three yeeres Iehoakym ſerued Nabuchadnezar, the next herebelleth. Three yeeres Daniel, Ananias, Azarias, and Miſael, beſtowe in Chaldean ſtudies: hauyng ſhewed rare care and courage in ſtraight obedience to MOSES ceremonies. When Iehoakym rebelled, then the other are found ten tymes better learned then the Chaldeans, by the kyng: and appoynted of hym to ſerue in his Court.Eſa. 39, 6. So Eſays prophecy is fulfylled. 2. King. 20. DANIEL had alſo ſkill in Viſions and Dreames: whoſe caſe I compared before with IOSEPHS for tyme of ſhewyng ſkyll, for kinges affection, for excellyng Magicians, for aduauncement to the mayntenaunce of their brethren. Two yeere after he had ſhewed the kyng the dexteritie of his ſtudie,Conſider Daniel, Chap. 2. vvith the 7, 8, and 11. The king in one dreame ſeeth how BABEL alone, MADAI and PARAS ioyntly, IAV AN fyrſt ioyntly, after parted, in EGYPT and BABEL ſhoulde rule many Nations, & afflict EBER vntil the birth of our Lord, the king of all kinges: as Eſa. 9. This he ſaw in one Image, and forgate his dreame. DANIEL ſaw the ſame: remembred it: taught it the king: is made a great man: preferreth Ananias, Azarias, and Miſael, to be rulers in BABEL. Sone after the king ſetteth vp a great Image: and caſteth Ananias, Azarias, Dan. 3.and Miſael, into a Fornace of flaming fyre, accuſed to refuſe the worſhypping of it.Eſa. 43, 2. …hr. 11, 34. When they went into the Fire IEHOVAH went with them: and Nabuchadnezar ſaw one like the ſonne of God. By fayth they quenched the force of fyre. The king is amazed, maketh it death to ſpeake amyſſe of their God: yet Iehoakym in Iudah repenteth not, of oppreſſion, & bloodſhed,The eyght calamitie. and ſacrilege, and vnloyaltie. Ieruſalem is agayne taken: Iehoakym bound fyrſt: at the laſt, caſt away vnburied, as an Aſſe deſerued. IEHOIACHIN his ſonne is now eyghteene yeeres olde,2. King. 24, l. The ninth calamitie. who was ten when HE (the Father) was made king: he was king three monethes: of hym Ieremy tolde, that none of his ſeede ſhoulde ſit vponupon DAVIDS throne, and that he ſhoulde die chyldles.Iere. 22, 30. 2. Chro. 36, 10. 1 Chro. 3, 15. 2 King. 24, 17. Iere. 27, 5. Iere. 28, …. verſe 17. MATHANIAS his brother by generall terme of cooſenage: His fathers brother properly, in ſucceſſiō his ſonne is made king by Nabuchadnezar, as God tolde Ieremy. Foure yere Ieremy laboureth to teach how nations muſt beare the yoke of BABEL: After Iechonias and Mordochay were caryed away. In his fourth yeere ANANIAS prophecyeth falſely: that within two yeeres God will breake the yoke of the king of BABEL, and reſtore IECHONIAS home, and all that were caryed with hym: Ieremy telleth Ananias that for his falſe prophecie he ſhould dye that ſame yeere: which death of his fell out as it was foretolde. The ſame yeere Ieremy writeth to Iſrael caryed to Babel, that they ſhoulde looke for the ende of ſeuentie yeeres before they looked to returne. Alſo, he ſendeth to Babylon a prophecie of the fall of Babylon, Iere. 50. and, Chap. 51.larger then that in ESAY. Chap. 13. & 14. & 21. Or that in ABAKVK Chap. 2. and charged the bearer SARAYAS ruler of Menucha, who was ſent from TZEDEKIA… to Babel that he ſhoulde reade the Prophecie at Euphrates: then ſhoulde he tye it to a Stone, and caſt it into the myddle of Euphrates, ſaying: Thus ſhall Babylon be drowned.Apoc. 18, 21. Apoc. 17, 5. The lyke are we taught, Apo. 18. touching ROME, called BABYLON in a myſterie. Then a myghty Angell tooke vp a Stone lyke a great Milſtone, and caſt it in…o the Sea, ſaying: with ſuch violence ſhal the great citie Babylon be caſt and ſhalbe no more found. As Ieremy writes to Babylon to keepe Iſrael in true patience,Iere 28, 17. and hope of deliueraunce: ſo falſe Prophetes in Babylon reſiſted him: One ACHAB and TZEDEKIAS, Iere. 29, 22.of whom he prophecyeth that Nabuchadnezar will make them an enſample, and a byworde of myſerably curſed: burnyng them in fyre. We may be ſure ſo it fell out, becauſe they ſtyrred men to fall away from his obedience. He that ſpared not the Chaldeans, Dan. 2. would not ſpare them. Alſo in Babylon there was a man called SAMAIAH, who wrote to Ieruſalem agaynſt Ieremy, that he ſhoulde be clapt vp in Lytle-eaſe, for writyng to Babel that their captiuitie ſhoulde be long. IEREMY from God ſendeth him a bitter anſwere: He calleth him a Neclemite: which is, a Dreamer. It may be his family came of NACHAM 1. Chr. 4, 19. and as he pretended, that the puniſhers of Ieremy ſhoulde folowe Iehoiada: Iere. 29, 32.ſo myght Ieremy taunthim, that he was rather to be called a dreamyng Neclemite, then a Noe-like Nachamite: for of Nacham, (which meaneth comfortyng) had NOE his name. Gen. 5. Of him Ieremy wryteth, that in Babylon his family ſhall peryſhe.

When Ieremy had ben thus reſiſted,Ezek. 1, 1. by falſe Prophetes, God ſtyrreth vp Ezekiel to perſwade the remnant by wryting, that they ſhoulde be caryed to Babel. Eſt 2, 6.He was captiued when Iechonias and Mardochai were. His example,Eze. 40, 1. and the experience of two Captiuities myght hauehave warned them not to ſtore vp wrath: but to marke how Iſrael pylde by PVL, captiued and pylde in part to ſtrayght ſlauery by Tiglath-Pel-eſar, had ful payment to bondage by Salman-aſar. So Iudaht Citie already ſurpriſed twiſe by IEHOIAKYMS frowardnes, was now paſt hope of abilitie to reſiſt one ſet vp a Conquerer for their ſinnes, when they dayly more and more prouoked Chriſt agaynſt them.Ezeki. 1. The thyrteth yeere after the ſolenne Paſſeouer, & fyndyng of MOSES originall, EZEKIEL ſeeth the glory of God and Chriſt: alſo he ſeeth the myniſtery of the Angels, which in wit excell, in might are ſtrong, in ſeruice vnweary, in quicknes flit: them he ſaw in forme of bodyed weightes, bearyng in part the forme of a Man, of a Lyon, of on Oxe, of an Egle: they had alſo wynges: and a voyce was heard: of the bleſſed glory of IEHOVAH from his place. The Chriſtians redeemed from the Heathen,Apoc. 8, 7. hauehave much the lyke. Apo. 4. Here were alſo wheeles within wheeles with fellyes full of eyes: whereby the creature ruled by an endles foreſight, ought to be meaned. There appeared beſydes vponupon a Sapphyre throne the lykenes of a man, with the ſight of fyre myxt with the Raynebowes coloure. So Chriſt ſheweth hym ſelfe afore the ende of ten Calamities named Eſa. 6.Ezeks. 3. & 4. Now Ezekiel in Table, Dyet, and lying on his Sides, betokeneth that Ieruſalem by ſiege, and famyne, ſhalbe taken: wherein note ſpecially the tyme, applying a day to a yeere. Three hundred and ninetie dayes repreſent ſo many yeeres from the fallyng away by IEROBOAM. By ſo many yeeres ſhall Ieruſalem be deſtroyed, and left defolate. In the ende of them, when you are within fourtie of the laſt, on the other ſyde, was Ezekiel to lye fourty dayes for a new remembraunce of the ſinne of IVDAH: who ſhoulde be deſtroyed as aforeſayd: and that when fourtie yeeres ſhoulde be accomplyſhed in the preachyng of Ieremy, whom they ſo much deſpiſed. Famous woulde God hauehave the paynes of that his ſeruaunt.Ezeki. 5. The ſame tyme Ezekiel ſhauyng his head, and partyng the heare, ſheweth IVDAHS caſe. One part …he burnt with fyre: an other part he cut with a ſworde: the thyrde part …he ſkattered into the wynde. One part he bound vp: and ſoone after …he brent alſo that part. So Iſrael ſhoulde peryſhe in beſiege by famyne, peſtilence, and ſuch diſpertion, and a ſmall remnaunt for a whyle left with Gedaliah, ſhoulde ſoone by Iſmael come to nothyng.Iere. 41, 2. The next yeere agayne he ſeeth the glory of Chriſt, leauyng the Temple, the Cherubim accompanying, and goyng to Mount Oliuet. The lyke forſakyng of the Temple Chriſt ſhewed with his Diſciples in the dayes of his …eſhe. Mat. 24. But Iudah knew not God in Chriſt, reconcyling the worlde vntounto hym ſelfe. Thus the two yeeres confute Ananias the falſe Prophet. In the ſeuenth of Tzedekias Ezekiel telleth that Iſrael brought from the Wildernes into the PLEASANT LANDE, ſhalbe brought agayne into the Wildernes of the Heathen. Note that to be the name of Chanaan, Ezeki. 20, 7. Dan. 8, 9. Dan. 11. 16. Ezeki. 21, 26.the PLEASANT LANDE in Eze. 20. & Dan: 8 and PLEASANT Mountayne. Dan. 11, for Syon or Ieruſalem. In that yeere Ezekiel calleth Tzedechias a prophane bad man: and telleth of his abaſing, & Ie-chonias aduancement: & the Crowne ouerturned, & that the Kingdōe ſhal be no more vntyl HE commeth to whom it belongeth. He meaneth thereby CHRIST:Luk. 1, 32. who ſhall fit vponupon the throne of DAVID for euer. Luk. 1. To this place of Ezekiel reſpected Nathanael, when he ſayth to the Lord:Iohn. 1, 49, Thou art the Sonne of GOD: thou art the king of ISRAEL: acknowledgyng that he was come …o whom it belonged.Deut 15, 12, Iere. 34, 14. In the yere of Reſt, Seruantes were made free according to Moſes: whom their Maiſters made bound againe againſt the Law: thereupon Ieremy telleth of their bondage.

In the ninth yeere of the ſecond Captiuitie,Eſt. 2. that is ſince Iechonias Mard… chai, and Ezekiel, were carryed captiues, and Tzedechias was made king: the tenth month,2. King. 25, 1. the tenth day of the month,Iere. 52, 4. Ezekiel is tolde in Meſopotamia that,Iere. 39, 1. Nabuchaduezar that very day in Iudea layde ſiege to Ieruſalem. Ez. 24, 2. 6, 16.Then God lykneth Ieruſalem vntounto a pot ſeethyng full of fleſh, vntyl al be marde. Ezekiels wyfe dyeth: for whom he is forbid to mourne, as his peoples ſorow for the chyldren of Ieruſalem shoulde be greater then open mournyng myght expreſſe. Notwithſtanding al this, at Ieruſalem litle thought they that their Citie ſhould be deſtroyed: and Ieremy is in Priſon, for ſaying that God woulde deliuer Ieruſalem into the hand of the king of Babel. Firſt in ſtraight priſon.Iere. 37. & 38 Cha. 37. after in the court priſon, after that in a dungeon, thence is brought againe to the court priſon, wherein he tarieth vntyll the Citie is taken.Iere. 32, 7.

In Tzedechias tenth yeere the Prophete buyeth a peece of ground of Chanameel his vnckles ſonne,Iere. 32. and 33. in token that after their cariage to Babel, there ſhal be for Iudah a returne, and policy to buye & ſel. The ſame tyme he confirmeth the people in expectatiō of Chriſt: which couenaunt is ſtronger that the heauens order. The ſame yeere Ezekiel… prophecyeth that Pharoah king of Egypt (who had ben as a Reede to the houſe of Iſrael) ſhould be ouerrun, as before Ieremy had tolde. Cha. 44. And in theſe tymes of ſiege,Ezek. 5, 10. extreame ſorow befell in Iſrael by plague, famine, and ſworde. Fathers did eate their chyldren, and chyldren their fathers. Moſes foreſaw and foretolde that.Deut 28, 53. A greater deſolation is after told,Dan. 9, 27. 2 whe… CHRIST is vtterly denyed by them.King. 25, 2. In the eleuenth yeere of Tzedechias▪ the fourth month,Iere. 39, 3. the Citie is taken:Iere. 52, 5. Then Nergal, Sarezer & other Noble of Babylon enter into it. The Heathen make Nerighſarus one of the kinge… of Babel: a pettie king well he might be vnderunder Nabuchadnezar, but none o… the chiefe three, for whoſe reigne only Iudah ſhould be in Babel. Theſe Potentates of Babel executyng the iudgement of Chriſt,Iere. 26, 8. by the cloſe aſſiſtanc… of his Angels, are perfourmers of that viſion which Ezekiel ſaw in Tzedechias ſixt yeere: when Angels lyke men come from the north Gate, the… another man marketh them in the Forehad that mourned for the ſinn… of the Citie,Ezek. 9, 3, 4. that they might be kept ſafe.
