and purſues the Conqueror; and baving overtaken 
them at Day, falls ſuddenly upon them, and obtains 
an = 5 Victory. Thus Abram reſcued his Nephew, 
the Priſoners, and retook all the Booty. 

"If his Return, the firſt who congratulated him 
on his Victory was the King of Sodom; who, in 
1 Acknowledgment, offered Abram the Goods

Abram reſtored to him both Goods and Priſoners... 

The next who congratulated Abram on his Suc- 
ceſs was Melchiſedeck, King of Salem, who brought 
out Bread and Wine to refreſh him and his Men on 
their March. In Return, Abram made him a Pre- 
ſent of the tenth Part of the Spoil he had taken. 

Abram had yet no Heir; and began to be appre- 
henſive, that his Servant would inherit his Eſtate. 
To remove his Fears, God aſſures him, bat not his 
Servant, but one Born of bis own Body, ſhouid. be his

Rebecca was a very beautiful Woman, and Jaac 
fearing the Philiſtines would kill him to enjoy her,

ſowed Land, and had a Crop of an hundred-fold ; and

Enraged at his Refuſal, ſhe made a terrible Out- 


cry, and on the Servants running to ſee what was the

offered her Violence; and as a Proof of it, ſhewed 


them the Cloak he had left in her Hands. This the 


laid by till her Huſband came Home; and then, 


with Tears in her Eyes, repeated the ſame diſmal 
Tale to him. Potiphur, not ſuſpecting his Wife's 


Infidelity, readily believed her, without further Ex- 
amination, and commits Jeſeph to the Royal Priſon. 
But Providence, watchful for his Protection, gave 


him Favour with his Keeper, and made his Impri- | 


ſonment the Means of his future Greatneſs; and ſo 
great was the Jailor's Confidence in his Integrity, 
that he gave him the Charge of all his Priſoners. 

Jioſepb being thus a Priſoner, it happened that two 
of Pharaobs Officers, his chief Butler and Baker, 
were thrown into the ſame Priſon, and committed to 


his Care. They had each of them a Dream in one 


Night, Which they thought was of more than ordi-

Had nobody to interpret it. In the Morning, Joſeph 


coming to their Apartment, and ſeeing them look me- 
lancholy, he demanded the Reaſon of it. They told 


him, that each of them had dreamed a Dream, which 


they had no Opportunity to get interpreted. Foſeph 
deſired to hear their Dreams, which they having told 
him, he gave each of them an Interpretation, by which, 
in three Days, the Butler was to be reſtored to his 
tormer Office, and the Baker to be hanged; and at 
the ſame Time requeſted the Butler, when he ſhould 
be in Proſperity, to ſpeak in his Behalf to Pharaoh,

unjuſtly thrown. The Butler, however, after his

Pillar of Fire and Cloud upon the Egyptians, which 
ſo diſturbed them, that they ſaw their Error, and 
cried to one another, Let us flee, for the Lord figbteth

waving his ſacred Wand, the Sea returned to its 
uſual Courſe. The Egyptians are frightened, and 
with Speed endeavour to regain the Shore; but in 
vain; and they are all overwhelmed by the ruſhing 
Waves. And the next Morning the fraelite had — 
delightful Spectacle of ſeeing the Carcaſes of their 
Enemies thrown on the Shore On their ſafe Arrival 
at Land, in grateful Acknowledgments of their De-

umphant Song; and Miriam, the Siſter of Moſes 
and Aaron, taking a Timbrel, and followed by the 
Women with Timbrels and Dances, anſwered the 
Men, repeating alternately ſome Parts of the Song. 
Then Meſes led the Iſraelites from the Red Sea, in · 
to the Deſart of Shur or Etham, in which they march -

From Marah they marched to Elim, where they 
found twelve Wells of Water, and ſeventy Palm or

to the Wilderneſs of Sin, which lies between Elim 


and Sinai. Here again they fall into a general Mutiny

This was to them inſtead of Bread, and on this they 
fed forty Years, till they arrived on the Borders of 
Canaan. And as a Memorial of it to future Gene-

for Relief; who orders him to bid the People march; 
to take his Rod in his Hand, and with the Elders of 
the People to go before to the Rock in Horeb, and 
to ſtrike the Rock, which ſhould yield Water. 5 
But before the People could move from Repbidim, 
they were put upon another Trial; for an Army of 
Amalekites appeared ready to attack them. Upon this 
Moſes orders Joſbua to draw out a Party of Men againſt 
the next Morning, and give them Battle; while he 
himſelf would go to the Top of the Hill with the 
Rod of God in his Hand. Jau obeyed ; and while 
the two Armies were engaged, Moſes, with Aaron 
and Hur, went to the Top of the Hill, and holding 
up his Rod, 7/20! took Courage and prevailed; but 
Meſes, through Wearinefs, letting his Hand down, 
Amalek prevailed; which Aaron and Hur obſerving, 
they ſupported his Hands till the going down of the 
Sun; in which Time the Amalekites were routed, and 
put to the Sword. OT 
The //raelites were now come near the Place where 
God appeared to Moſes in the Buſh, and not fas from 
erf his Father -in law's Habitation, who having 
eard of all that God had done for Moſes and his 
People, took Zipporab, Moſes's Wife, and their two 
Sons, Gerſbom and Eliezer, and brought them to the 
ſſraciitih Camp. After mutual Salutations, Moſes 
gave him an Account of God's Dealings with Pha- 
raob, and of all that had befel them during their 
March thither. Fethro, being a pious Man, praiſes 
God, and offers a Burnt-offering, and Sacrifices of 
Thankſgiving ; in which Aaron, and all the Elders 
of 1/rael, joined with him and feaſted together.

great Eaſe of himlelf and the People. FJethro ſeeing 
Things thus ſettled, takes his Eve and returns 
Home. 
Three Months after dic Departure from Egypt, ; 
they left Rephidim, and encamped before the Mount 
of God. Here God called Moſes up into the Mount 
and commanded him to inſtruct the People in ſuch: 
Duties as he required of them; which, if t 5 
obeyed, he promiſed them his Protection, and hk] 
they ſhould be his peculiar People, an holy Nation, 
2 a royal Prieſthood. Moſes having communicated 
this to the Elders of the People, they unanimouſiy 
anſwered, that they would perform what the Lord 
had commanded. Moſes returned their Anſwer to 
God; who thereupon commanded him to direct the 
| People to cleanſe themſelves. and be ready on the 
third Day, for then he would deſcend on Mount 
Sinai in the Sight of all the People; and that he 
ſhould mark out Bounds about the Mountain, which 
none were to paſs. 

Then Moſes took Aaron and his two Sons, Nadab 
and Abibu, and ſeventy of the Elders of Iſrael, and 
went ſo near, that they ſaw the Divine Majeſty, and' 
yet ſurvived it. - 

The next Time Moſes went up to the Mountain, he: 
took only Foſbua with him, directing the Elders to. 
tarry for them till they returned, and referring them 
to Aaron and Hur for Advice in all difficult Caſes. 
Meſes was no ſooner got up to the Mountain, but a 
Cloud covered it, and the Glory of the Lord abode 
upon it like a devouring Flame, in Sight of the Chil- 
dren of Iſrael, On the ſeventh Day God called Moſes

further up into the Mount, and he entered into the 
Midſt of the Cloud, and remained there forty Days 
and Nights: In which he received the two Tables of 
Stone, whereon God had written the Law ; and was 
likewiſe inſtructed how to build the Tent of the Ta- 
bernacle; and had deſcribed to him the Altar, and 
all the Veſſels and Ornaments to be uſed about it; 
and God appointed Bezaleel and Aboliab to undertake 
the Building ; and then gave him the two ftone- 
Tables, containing the Covenant or Law. 
While Moſes was thus converſing with God in the 
Mount, and Foſbua waiting his Return, the People 
in the Camp, concluding that Moſes had deſerted 
them, demanded of Aaron to make them Gods to go 
before them. Aaron too eaſily complied with their 
impious Requeſt, and bid them break off the golden 
Ear-rings which were in the Ears of their Wives and 
Children, and bring them to him; which having re- 
ceived, he made a molten Calf of them: This being 
done, they cried out, The/e be thy Gods, O Iſrael, 
which brought thee up out of the Land of Egypt. Aaron, 
as if poſſeſſed with the ſame idolatrous Spirit, built 
an Altar before it, and proclaimed a Feaſt to be 
holden the next Day to the Lord. And indeed a re- 
velling Feaſt it was; for when they had made their 
Oblations, they fat down to eat and drink, and ſpent: 
the whole Day in Feaſting and Pleafure. 
Mean while God, from whom no Secret can be 
hid, tells Moſes what the People had done, ex- 
pong his Indignation againſt their Rebellion and 
Ingratitude, and threatens them with utter Deſtruction, 
and that he will make of Moſes a great Nation. 
Moſes, however, is ſo far from ſeeking to raiſe him 
ſelf on the Ruin of his People, that he intercedes with 
great Earneſtneſs for their Pardon, and fo far pre- 
vailed, that the Lord was pleaſed to deſiſt from his 
threatened Puepoſe. | e

Moſes then haſtened down from the Mount, and 
took Joſhua with him. As they came near the Camp, 
they heard the Noiſe of Shouting, which Zofbua obs»: 
ſerved, ſeemed to be the Noiſe of War. But Adoſes 
replied, it was rather the Voice of thoſe that rejoiced. 
Being come to the Camp, Moſes ſaw the Calf, and 
the People dancing before it; which ſo incenſed him, 
that in a holy Rage at their Ingratitude and Rebelli- 
on, he threw the two Tables ot the Law againſt the 
Rock, and broke them in Pieces. Then taking the 
Idol Calf, threw it into the Fire, and grinding it to 
Powder, ſtrew it upon the Water, and made the /, 
raelites drink of it. wy | 61 
MMaſes then calls Aaron to an Account for ſuffering 
ſuch a Thing to be done; which Aaron very lamely 
excuſes, hy alledging the miſchievous Temper of the 
People. Moſes ſeeing the Nakedneſs of the People, 
to which Aarons Indiſcretion had reduced them, and 
to make ſome Atonement for their Sin, he goes into 
the Middle of the Camp, and cried out, Nbover is un 
the Lord's Side, let him come to me. Upon which, all 
the Sons of Levi, who were not concerned in the late 
Idolatry, repaired to him, whom he ordered to arm, 
and go through the Camp, and flay the Ringleaders 
of the Sedition, with their Followers. The Levites 
did fo, and flew about 3000 Men. For which laud- 
able Zeal, Moſes bleſſed the Family of the Levites, 
and aſſured them, that by this Action they conſecrated 
themſelves to the Lord, who would not fail to bleſs 
them for it. 2 
After this, Moſes entreated the Lord to forgive 
IfraePs Sin, with ſuch Earneſtneſs, that he prayed

- God's Anger being thus partly appeaſed, he bids 
Meſes lead the People to the Place he had appointed, 
and he would ſend his Angel before them to drive 
out the Inhabitants ; but as they were a ſtiff-necked 
People, he did not chuſe to afford them his Preſence 
any longer. This was very afflicting News to the 
tſrazhtes, who were now convinced that this was the 
Effect of their late Rebellion; therefore they humbled 
themſelves, and forbore to put on their Ornaments: 
And to humble them the more, Moſes took a Tent, 
and pitched it without the Camp, a Way off, 
and called it the Tabernacle of the Congregation; 
intimating thereby, that the Lord would no longer 
dwell among them as he did before: So that every 
one who ſought the Lord, was obliged to go to this 
Tabernacle; and when Me/es entered it, the cloudy 
Pillar deſcended, and ſtood at the Door; and when 
he went out of the Camp to the Tabernacle, they 
roſe up, and ſtood every Man at his Tent Door, 
looking after him till he was gone in. Here the Lord 


permitted Moſes to converſe with him very familiarly, 


and ſhewed him ſo much of his Glory as Moſes was ca- 
pable of ſeeing ; bid him prepare two new Tables of 
Stone like the former, and in the Morning to come 
with them alone into the Mount Sinai, where he 
would write on them the Words which were in the 
firſt. Moſes obeyed, and in the Morning went up 
with the two Tables into the Mount, and preſented 


temporal Puniſhments. This 
may be gathered from a like 
Prayer of Moſes, on another 
Occaſion: If thou deal thus

_ Moſes having continued forty Days and Nights in 
Communion with God, without Meat or Drink, re- 
turned to the People with the two Tables of the Law. 
But he knew not that by thus converſing with God 
(1) his Face had contracted a Splendour; at the Sight 
of which Aaron and the [/raelites were ſo terrified that 
they durſt not approach him; which Moſes perceiving, 
covered his Face with a Veil. * 
Moſes then acquainted the People, that it was the 
Lord's will to have a Tabernacle built, and that the 
Materials of it ſnould conſiſt of ſuch Offerings as they 
voluntarily brought in; and ſo liberally did they 
give on this Occaſion, that they ſoon brought in more 
than was requiſite, and more they would have

The Fire, thus miraculouſly kindled, was, by di- 
vine Command, to be kept continually burning: 
But Nadab and Abibu; two unhappy Sons of Aaron, 
forgetting their Duty, took their Cenſers, and putting 
Fire therein, laid Incenſe thereon, and offered ſtrange 
Fire before the Lord. Immediately a ſuffocating Flame 
darting through their Inwards, ſtifled them, without 
any viſible Injury to their Bodies or Garments. Moſes 
took Occaſion from this terrible Judgment, to warn 
the Prieſts from falling into the like Error, and or- 
dered the two dead Bodies to be carried out of the 
Camp in the ſame Condition they were found; but 
charged Aaron and his Sons not to mourn for Nadab 
and Abibu, in ſhaving their Heads or rending their 
Eloaths, that fo they might. diſtinguiſh. themſelves, 
from the reſt of the People in this, as well as in all

Subjects of Hiſtory: Of which the firſt that occurs is 
the oy of the Blaſphemers, the Son of Sbelomitb, 
an 1/raelitiſh Woman, but his Father was an Egyptian. 
This young Man quarrelled with an Iraelite, and in 
the Contelt blaſphemed the Name of the Lord. For 
this he is immediately apprehended, and put into 
Cuſtady till the Mind of the Lord ſhould be known. 
The divine Direction to Moſes was, Bring forth bim 
that hath curſed . without the Camp, and let all that 
heard bim lay their Hands upen his Head, and let all the 
Congregation fone bim; which was executed upon him 
accordingly. - 
- Whilſt the Tiraclites lay ARA RET in the Wilder 
neſs of Sinai, the Lord directed Moſes to take Aaron, 
and with him a principal Man of every Tribe, and 
make a general Muſter of the Men, from twenty 
Years old and upwards, that were fit to bear Arms; 
which was done, and the Number found to be fix 
hundred and three thouſand five hundred and fifty, 
beſides the Leviies, who were deſigned for the Pu- 
liar Service of the Tabernacle. 
This general Muſter being made, Moſes and Auron 
are directed, to arrange the People according to their 
Tribes, in their Encampment. Of this we have an 
Account in Numb. ii, as alſo of the Manner of their 
diſlodging and marchirig, Ch. x. 
On the firſt Day of the ſecond Month, the ſecond 
Year after their coming out of Egypt, the People de- 
camped from before Sinai. In their March, the Ark 
of the Lord went before them, to ſeek out a reſting 
Place for them. 

After three Days March into the Wilderneſs, they 
came to a Place called Kibroth-battaavah, or the Grave 
of Luſt, ſo called from what happened to them there. 
Here again they murmured againſt the Lord, which 
ſo diſpleaſed him, that he ſent down Fire, and de-

This Diſaſter was ſcarcely over, when they fell a luſt- 
ing, crying out, who will give us Fleſh to eat? And 
in Contempt preferred the Onions, Leeks, and Gar- 
lick of Egypt, to thoſe heavenly, Dainties with which 
God had daily fed them. This gave Moſes great 
Uneaſineſs, and occaſioned him to complain to God 
of the heavy Burthen of ſo numerous and mutinous 


a People that was laid upon him. God hears his 


Complaint, and bids him chuſe ſeventy Men of the 
Elders of [/rael, and bring them with him to the Ta- 
bernacle of the Congregation, And I will take of the 
Spirit which is upon thee, ſaid the Lord, and will put 
it upon them, and they ſhall bear the Burthen of the Peo- 
ple with thee, The ſeventy Elders being brought be- 
fore the Lord, they were immediately inſpired, and 
propheſied. Nay, two of thoſe Seventy, tho* they 
came not to the Tabernacle, received the ſame Im- 
preſſion of the Spirit, and propheſied in their Tents. 
This was told to Moſes, which Joſbua overhearing, 
and thinking it a Diminution of his Maſter's Ho- 
nour, deſired him to forbid them. No, ſaid Moſes, 
Would to God all the Lord's People were Prophets. 
Moſes further complained that the People wanted 


Fleſh. The Lord anſwered, that they ſhould have it 


to the full. But Moſes expoſtulates with God the Im-

puniſhed for their Diſtruſt of the Divine Power; 
for while the Meat was between their Teeth, God 
ſent a Plague, which deſtroyed many of them. | 

From hence they journeyed to Hazaroth, where 
another unhappy Accident befel them. Aaron and 
Miriam, envying the great Power Moſes had among 
the People, pick a Quarrel with him, which they 
ground on his having married an Ethiopian Woman; 
adding, What hath the Lord ſpoken only to Moſes ? 
Hath he not ſpoken by. us alſo ? Moſes was of a meek 
Diſpoſition, therefore ſeemed to take no Notice of it. 
But God, reſolving to vindicate his faithful Servant, 
ſuddenly calls for - Moſes, Aaron, and Miriam, and 
ſharply reprehends them for their Inſolence in ſpeak- 
ing againſt his Servant Moſes ; and as a Proof of his 
Diſpleaſure, Miriam is ſtruck with a loathſome Le- 
proſy; which Aaron obſerving, humbly begs Par- 
don, and entreats Moſes to intercede for his Siſter. 
Moſes ſoon melts into Pity, and complies with his 
Requeſt. God, however, to terrify others, reſolves 
to make her an Example, and orders Moſes to turn 
her out of the Camp, as a common Leper, for ſeven 

Days, and then to admit her again. 0 
Miriam being returned to the Camp, the 1/raelites 
ſet forward on their Journey, and after ſeveral En- 
campments, came to Kadeſp Barnea, on the Frontiers 
of Canaan. Here Moſes, by God's Command, ſent 
twelve Men, one of each Tribe, to take a View of 
the Country, and to bring an Account of the Inha- 
bitants, their Strength, Towns, Riches, Soil, Fer- 
tility, and to bring ſome of the Fruit of the Land. 

Theſe Spies having traverſed the Country, in their- 
Return paſſed through a Valley abounding with 
Grapes ; they cut off one Cluſter of ſo vaſt a Weight 
and Bigneſs, that they were forced to carry it on a. 
Staff between two. Beſides which, they bring Sam- 
ples of other rich Fruits: And having ſpent forty 
Days in this Survey, they returned to Moſes and 

M 2 Aaron, 


92 A Nxw Hir$sToOr'y of the 
Aaron, and related the Obſervations: they had made 
in their Journey; the Subſtance of which was, 
That the Land was extremely fettile and plentiful ; 
but the Inhabitants powerful, and their Cities ſtrong 
and fortified ; and that they ſaw Giants there of an 
enormous Stature. l 105 | 
This Account ſo terrified the People, that they 
fell into a Mutiny, But Caleb, one of the Spies, 
heartens them up, and affures that they were ſtrong 
enough to conquer thofe People. But the Mutineers 
declared againſt engaging in a War, and wiſhed 
themſelves in Egypt again; and in ſhort propoſe to 
chuſe themſelves a Leader to return thither. 
Moſes was ſo deeply affected, foreſeeing that the 
Vengeance of God would fall upon them for their 
Obſtinacy, that he and Aaron fell flat on their Faces 
to the Ground to deprecate their Ruin ; while Caleb 
and Foſbua boldly ſtood up, and endeavoured to per · 
ſuade them, that by the Divine Aſſiſtance, they 
ſhould be able to overcome the Inhabitants of that 
Country. But all their Arguments had fo little Effect, 
that the People tumultuouſly gathered about them, and 
would have ſtoned them, had not the Glory of God, 
at that Inſtant, appeared in the Tabernacle of the 
Congregation. And God tells Moſes, he would 
extirpate this People, and make of him a great Na- 
tion, Moſes, however, earneſtly entreats for them, 
and at lengrh prevails for their Pardon : But with 
this Reſtriction, that not one of thoſe Murmurers 
ſhould enter intd the promiſed Land; none of them, 
except Caleb and Jeſbua; and that they ſhould wan- 
der in the Wilderneſs for forty Years. | 
Moſes having reported theſe Things to the Children 
of Jrael they mourned greatly, and ſuddenly change 
their Minds to a preſumptuous Raſhneſs, offering to 
go to the Place whereof the Lord had ſpoken to 
them. But Moſes told them, their Enterprize was

tions, they reſolutely marched to the Hills, where 
the Enemy ſurprized, defeated, and ſlew many of 
them, and purſued the reſt as far as Horma. _ 
- - After this they turned back into the Wilderneſs, 
where many remarkable Occurrences befel them. 
The firſt was, the Stoning a Man to Death for vio- 
lating the Sabbath, by gathering Sticks on that Day. 

The next remarkable Occurrence we meet with is, 
the ambitious Project of Corab, who, being the Great 
Grandſon of Levi, thought he had equal Right to the 
Prieſthood with Aaron; and having ſeduced Dathan 
and Abiram, and 250 of the Levites to his Faction, 
ſeparates from him, charging Moſes and Aaron with 
uſurping on the Liberties of the People, who, they 
faid, were as holy as themſelves. Moſes fell on his 
Face, but ſoon riſing, told them, that the next Day 
God would decide this Controverſy between them. 
Moſes reaſons the Cafe with Corab and the Levites. 
Datban and Abiram itood at a Diſtance, and on Moſes 
ſending for them, they poſitively refuſed to come. 
Then ſummoning Corab and his Company to meet 
him and Aaron the next Day before the Lord, he or- 
dered them to bring their Cenſers ready prepared with 
Incenſe. If a, 

On the Morrow, they boldly plant themſelves in 
the Door of the Tabernacle with Me/es and Aaron; 
and, as it were, in Defiance of them, had perſuaded 
all the Congregation to ſide with them. The Al- 
mighty was ſo provoked at their daring Behaviour, 
that, darting forth his Glory upon the Tabernacle, 
he commands Moſes and Aaron to withdraw, that he 
might conſume the Rebels. But theſe two good Men 
beſought the Lord, that he would not be angry with 
the whole Congregation- for the Sake of one Man. 
Their Prayers are heard, and God bids them com- 
mand the People to withdraw from the Tents of Corab, 
Dathan, and ibiram; when, behold! the * |

04 A New HisTory of the 
of the Earth cleaving aſunder, Corab and his Faction, 
with their Goods and Families, were ſwallowed up 
alive, and the Ground cloſed upon them. The Peo- 
ple, terrified at this diſmal Spectacle, fled from it, 
tor Fear of ſharing the ſame Fate. Then, as to 
thoſe who had profanely attempted to offer Incenſe 
contrary to Law, a Fire from Heaven deſtroyed the 
250 who had joined with Corab. And as to their 
Cenſers, God ordered them to be beat out into broad 
Plates, and to fix them to the Altar of Burnt-offer- 
ings, to ſerve as a Memorial, that, for the future, 


no Stranger ſhould dare to offer Incenle, or any, ex- 


cept thole of Aaron's Family. 

This terrible Judgment, 3 was ſo far from 
keeping the Jfraelites within the Bounds of their 
Duty, that the next Day they murmured againſt Mo- 
fes and Aaron for having deſtroyed the People of the 
Lord. They knowing the turbulent Humour of 
this obſtinate People, took Shelter in the Sanctuary; 
when immediately the Glory of the Lord appeared, 
and God called ro Moſes and Aaron to ſeparate them- | 
ſelves from the reſt of the Congregation, tor he would 
conſume them in a Moment. Upon which they fell 
proſtrate on their Faces, and interceded for the Peo- 
ple; but the Lord had already ſent a Plague among 
them. Which Me/es perceiving, bid Aaron take his 
Cenſer, and put Incenle and Fire therein, and haſten 
to the Congregation to make Atonement for them. 
Aaron obeyed, and ſtanding between the living and 
the dead, prayed for the "People, and the Plague 
ceaſed, but had firſt deſtroyed 14,700 Men. 

But to end all Diſputes among the ambitious who 
aſpired to the Prieſthood ; and to eſtabliſh it in the 
Family of Aaron, God commanded Moeſes to take a 
Rod from each Tribe, ard to write the Name of the 
Prince of the Tribe upon it, and to lay them up in 
the Tabernacle, and the Man whoſe Name ſhould be 
on the Rod which ſhould bloſſom, him Mays * 
chule. 


HOL'Y BIBLE. * 95 
chuſe. The next Day he went in, and brought forth 
the Rods in the Preſence of all the People, and gave 
to each Man his Rod; when it appeared that Aarons 
Rod not only budded, but bloſſomed, and brought 
forth ripe Almonds. This ended the Controverſy, 
and the Lord ordered the Rod to be laid up before 
the Ark, to be preſerved as a Memorial to future 
Generations. | 


The next Removal of the Iſraelites was to Kadiſb, 


where Miriam died. Here the People again mur- 
mured againſt Moſes and Aaron for bringing them to 
a Place were there was no Water ; and they addreſs 
themſelves to God for Help; who bids Moſes take the 
Rod, and with Aaron to aſſemble the People; and 
then to ſpeak to the Rock in their Sight, and it ſhould 
yield Water; but, inſtead of this, he ſpeaks to the 
People, ſaying, Hear now, je Rebels! Muſt we fetch 
Water for you out of the Rock. In this'it is certain he 
diſobeyed God ; for he ſmote the Rock twice; and 
immediately the Water guſhed out in great Plenty : 
For this Breach of Obedience, God denounces to 
Moſes and Aarontheir Doom in theſe Words : Becauſe 


ye believed me not, to ſanfify me in the Sight of the + 
Children of Iſrael, therefore ye ſhall not bring this 


Congregation into the Land which I have given them. 

Being now in the Borders of Edom, and intending 
to decamp, Moſes ſent an Embaſly to the King of 
Edom, deſiring Leave to paſs through his Country: 
But the ſurly Edomite, not only refuſed them Paſſage, 
but came out with a powerful Army to oppoſe them. 
The Iſraelites, therefore, marched another Way, 
and came to Mount Hor. inf: ; 

Here God was pleaſed to give Aaron Notice of his 
approaching Death, and commanded Moſes to take 
him and his Son Eleazar, who was to ſucceed him, 


into the Mount, and there to ſtrip him of his prieſt- 


ly Robes, and to inveſt his Son with them. Which 
being done, Aaron died on the Top of Mount Hor,

being 123 Years old; and the People mourned for 

him thirty Days. 
When the HMaclites were on the Borders of 8 
Ared, a Canaanitiſh King, that dwelt in the South, 
went out and gave them Battle, and took ſome of 


them Priſoners. Upon this Defeat, they made a Vow 


to the Lord, that if he would give them into their 
Hands, chey would utterly ey their Cities, which 
now they accompliſhed. 

Diſlodging from Mount Hor, they took their Way 
by the Red Sea, marching round Edom ; and be- 
cauſe the Way was long, I ravelling uneaſy, and the 
Country barren, they fall into their old Humour of 
murmuring againſt God and Moſes, For which God 
ſent fiery Serpents. among them, which deſtroyed 
many of them. This brought them to a Senſe of 
their” Guilt, and applying to Moſes for Relief, God 
ordered him to make a brazen Serpent, and to ſet it 
upon a high Pole, that the People, who were bitten, 
looking on it, might be healed. 

The Vaelites were then at Phanon, from 3 
by ſeveral Journies and Encampments, they came at 
length to the Plains of Moab, on the Banks of Jordan, 
to the Top of Piſgah, oppoſite Jericho. From hence 
Meſes ſent Ambaſſadors to Sibon, King of the Amo- 
rites, to demand a Paſſage through his Country; 
which he not only refuſes to grant, but marches an. | 
Army to give {/rgel Battle; but is routed, and his 
Country ſeized. They likewiſe took Jazar, another 
City of the Amorites, and drove away the Inhabitants, 
Then they marched towards Baſban, where the Giant 
Og reigned. Him they flew, his Sons, and all his 
People, and took threeſcore and ten fenced Cities, be- 
ſides open Towns, and deſtroyed the Inhabitants, 
but kept the Cattle and be Spoil of the Cities for 4 


Prey. 
Encouraged by theſe Succeſſes, the Iſraelites

that there were Methods of ef-

68 A Nruew HISTORx of the 
God abſolutely forbids him to go with them to curſe 
Iſrael, for they were bleſſed. In the Morning Balaam 
diſmiſſes: the Meſſengers with this Anſwer, that the 
Lord would not permit him to go with them. This 
they report to Balak on their Return ; but he, ſup- 
Poſing that his Ambition, or his Covetouſneſs, was 
not anſwered, to gratify both; he ſends to him Meſ- 
ſengers of a more honourable Rank, promiſing co 
ive him whatever he would aſk, if he would come 
and curſe the People. Tho? God had before expreſly 
commanded him not to go, yet, blinded by his Co- 
vetouſneſs, he again addreſſes himſelf ro God, who, 
provoked at his Obſtinacy, leaves him to himſelf, 
If the Men come to call thee, riſe up and go with them; 
but that I ſhall ſay to thee, that only do. But God, to 
ſhew his Diſpleaſure, ſent his Angel, who met Ba- 
laam on the Way; who did not ſee him, but the Afs 
did, and refuſing to go forward, Balaam beats her ; 
but ſhe ſtill refuſes, and falls down under him ;. Ba- 
laam is the more enraged, and beats her unmercifully; 


but God miraculouſly (o) opens the Mouth of the 
. Afs 


Times, did not ſanctify their 
Hearts and Affections, Mic. iii. 

11. And That the Great- 
neſs, Weaineſs, or Wicked- 
neſs of Prophets never went ſo 
far, as to make them pronounce 
Oracles, contrary to what was 


dictated to them by the Spirit 


of God. If Balak would give 
me his Heuje full of Silver and 
Gold, 1 cannot go beyond the Word 
of the. Lord, to do good or bad 
of my cwn Mind, but what the 
Lord ſaith, that muſt I ſpeak, 
Numb. xxiv. 13. | 

{o) This is 10 wonderful an 
Incident, that ſeveral of the 
Fewiſh Doctors, who, upon 
other Occaſions, are fond e- 
nough of Miracles, ſeem as if 


they would hardly aſſent to this. 
Phib, in his Life of Moyes,

aimonides pretends, that it 
only happened to Balaam in a 
— Viſion. An inſpired 
riter in the New Teſtament 
aſſures us, that it was real 
Fact, as Maſes relates it. Mo- 
ſes ſays, that the Lord opened the 
Mouth of the Aſs, and ſbe ſaid 
unto Balaam ; and St. Peter tells 
us, that the Ai, ſpeaking, with 
Man's Voice, forbad the Mad- 
neſs of the Prophet; an human 
Voice came out of the Mouth 
of the Aſs, but I do not 6.1 
prehend that this Voice proceed- 
ed from her own Sentiment. 
Her Tongue was miraculouſly 
moved,

Aſs to reprove the Madneſs of the Prophet; and the 
Angel, then become viſible, ſharply reprehends him 
for undertaking a Thing againſt God's expreſs Com- 
mand. Balaam, thus convicted, confeſſes his Sin, 
and faintly offers to turn back it his Journey diſpleaſed 
the-Lord. But God, intending to make this Man 
the Inftrument of bleſſing his People inſtead of 
curſing them, ſuffered him to go on, but with this 
Charge, to ſay nothing but as he ſhould be directed 
by God. | SE >. 1 
Balaam proceeds; and Balak hearing of his Coming, 
goes out to meet him, and gently chides him for not 
coming when he firſt ſent for him. Bal aam's Excuſe 
was, that the Lord had reſtrained him. | 
The next Day Balak took him to the high Places 
of Baal, that from thence he might take a View of 


the Camp of J/rael. Here the Prophet orders the - 


King to erect ſeven Altars, and to prepare ſeven 
Bullocks and ſeven Rams. This done, a Bullock 
and a Ram is offered on each of them. Balaam 
then retiring, conſults God, who inſtructs him 
what to ſay in his Return to Balak; and the Pur- 
port of his Anſwer was, that he could not curſe - 
thoſe whom God had bleſſed; and propheſies of 
the future Greatneſs of the People ; wiſhing that his 
Lot might be with them in Life and in Death. Balak 
in a Paſſion, cries out, What haſt thou done? 1 took 
thee to curſe this People, and behold thou haſt Bleſſed 
them altogether. Balam exculed himſelf by the Ne- 
ceſſity he was under of obeying his Inſtructions.

100 A NY W HISTORY of the 
© Balak, however, not diſcouraged; takes him from 
thence to the Top of Piſgab. Here ſeven Altars are 
erected, and a Bullock and a Ram ſacrificed on each 
and Balaam retiring to adviſe with the Lord, received 
freſh Inſtructions ; and on his Return tells Balak; 
that God had already bleſſed 1/rael, and forbidden 
him to curſe them; that no Inchantment could pre- 
vail againſt J/rael, who were under the ſpecial Pro- 
tection of the Almighty, who had and would wor 
Wonders for their Deliverance. 3 5 

Bala, greatly mortified at this Repulſe, forbids 
him either to bleſs or curſe. However, he reſolves 
to make one Trial more; and Balaam follows him 
to the Top of Mount Peor, where again Sacrifices 
are offered on - ſeven Altars. Here, without with- 
drawing as hefore, but looking on the Camp of / 
rael, the Spirit 'of the Lord came upon him, arid in 
an Extaſy he cries out, How goodly are thy Tents, 
O Jacob, and thy Tabernacles, O Iſrael! Then by 
ſignificant Metaphors he foretold the Extent, Ferti- 
lity and Strength of [/7ae/, and that thoſe that blefled 
them ſhould be bleſſed, and thoſe that curſed them 
ſhould be curſed. | 

| Balak enraged to hear Balaam ſtill to bleſs 1/raet 
inſtead of curſing them, bid him be gone, fince the 
Lord had hindered him from thoſe Preferments which 
he had intended for him. Balaam pleaded his old 
Excuſe, that he could not exceed the Commands of 
the Lord. But before they parted, he propheſied of 
various Succeſſes with which God would bleſs Yael, 
and that (P) a Star ſhould come forth from Jacob, 
| and 


(p) All Opinions, ſays Stack- 
houje, agree in this, that Ba- 
laam here ſpeaks of a King and 


Conqueror: But the Queſtion 


is, of what King and Conque- 
ror it is he ſpeaks? Le Clerc 
has applied the Prophecy en- 


tirely to David, who extended 
his Conqueſts far and wide. 
Patrick has applied it entirely 
to the Meſiab, ſuppoſing that 
the Metaphor of a Star, com- 


port zbetter with him, and his 


celefial Origin, than with 
| David; 


HOLY BEIB4E. 101 
and a Scepter ſhould riſe out of Iſrael, which ſhould 
ſmite the Corners of Moab, and deſtroy all the Chil- 
dren of Seth ; that Edom ſhould fall under his Power, 
and that the Amalekites and Kenites ſhould be extirpated. 

But though Balaam was reſtrained from curſing 
Iſrael, yet he gave Balak ſuch Counſel as proved very 
pernicious to them; which was, for the Moabites 
and Midianites to ſend their Daughters to the Camp 
of the 1/rachtes, to entice them to Idolatry, the only 
way to deprive them of God's Aſſiſtance. This Ad- 
vice had its deſired Effect; for while they lay at 
Sbittim, they not only committed Whoredom with 
theſe Women, but aſſiſted at their Sacrifices, and 
worſhipped Baal-peor. Great was their Sin, and as 
fevere their Puniſhment ;' for God commands Moſes 
ro hang up the Chiefs of thoſe that were guilty before 


the Lord. But their Whoredom muſt be 


as well as their Idolatry. 


Dawid; and that the main 
Strokes of the Prophecy re- 
ſemble an heavenly more than 
an earthly Conqueror. The Mat- 
ter, however, may be com- 
pounded, if we will but allow 
of a learned Man's Obſervation, 


wiz. That the moſt remarkable 


Prophecies in the Ola Teftament 
bear uſually a twofold Senſe; 
one relating to the Times be- 
fore the Meſiab; and the other 
fulfilled either in the Perſon of 
the M:f5ah, or in the Members 
of his Body, the Church, of 
which Kind we may juftly 
eſteem the preceding Prophecy. 
For though its primary Aſpect 
may be towards David; yet 
whoever conſiders it attentively 
may perceive, that its Ideas 
are too full to extend no farther, 
and muſt therefore in a ſecon- 
dary and more exalted Senſe, 
refer us to Chriſt, who/e King- 


puniſhed 
For while the People, on 


dom ruleth over. all, and to whom 
all Things are put in Subjection 
under his Feet.— In this Senſe 
the Generality of the Fewvs, as 
well as Chriftians, have all 
along underſtood it; and *tis 
no . improbable Conjecture 
(whatever ſome may think of 
it) that by the Strength of this 
Prophecy, kept among the 
Oriental Archi ves, the Magi of 
that'Country, at our Saviour's 
Nativity, were directed to Fe- | 
ruſalem, and enquired, Where 

is the King of the Jews, for wwe 
hawe ſeen his Star in the Eaſt ? 
And, upon a farther Suppoſi- 
tion, that theſe very Magi were 
deſcended from Balaam in a di- 
rect Line, he might then, with 
Propriety enough, pronounce of 
the Meſſiab, I ſhall fee him, i. e. 


fee him in my Poſterity, but not

Account of the late Execution, were weeping before 
the Tabernacle, Zimri, a Prince of the Tribe of S - 
5 mean, took Combi, the | Daughter of Zur, a Prince of 
AMidian, and daringly brought her to his Fent, in 
Contempt of Maſes, and in Sight of the whole Con- 
regation, and lay with her. Pbineas, Aaron's Grand- 
on, fired with a juſt. Indignation, and anſpired with 
a divine Zeal, took his Javelin in his Hand, follow- 
ed them to the Tent, and in the very Act of Whore- 
dom, thruſt them both through. This well-timed 
Zeal of Phineas put a Stop to the Plague, and gained 
a perpetual Settlement of the [Prieſthood in himfelf - 
and his Poſterity. At this Time 24, ooo were de- 
ſtroyed by the Plague. n : 
Ihbeſe Diſorders being quieted, and the Offenders 
puniſhed, the next Thing was to take Vengeance of 
the Midianites, who: had debauched the 1/aelites. For 
this Purpoſe, Maſes ordered a Detachment of 12,000 
Men, of every Tribe 1000, to go againſt their Ene- 
mies; and zealous Phineas carried with them' the 
Trumpets, to animate the People. In this Expedition 
they ſle five Kings, and all their Men, among whom 
was the wicked. Prophet Balaam, and burnt their 
Cities, took their Women and Children Priſoners, 
and brought away their Flocks and Herds, and, load- 
ed with the Spoils of their Enemies, they returned 
to the Camp. Moſes, and Eleazar the High Prieſt, 
met them on the Way, and congtatulated their Suc- 
ceſs. But Meſes ſeeing the Women among the Cap- 
tives, was offended: with the Officers for faving them 
alive, who had been the Occaſion of ſo much Miſ- 
chief to the Maelites. And thereupon he commanded - - 
them to kill every Male among the Children, and 
every Woman who had lain with Man. After which, 
the Spoils were equally. divided into two Parts, one 
for the Soldiers, and the other for the People who ſtaid 
at Home. Out of the Soldiers Share a goodth Part

JFepbiba, upon this, took up his Reſidence at Tob, 
where he ſignalized his Valour againſt the common 


Enemy: So that at laſt he was made Captain of a 
Parcel of young Fellows that went a foraging. 

The Gileadites heing hardly preſſed by the Ammo- 
nites, reſolved upon a War, but wanted a General; 
but bethinking themſelves of Jepbiba, they offered 


him the Command of their Army.  Fephtha, ſur-

ful and obedient Child, the 
Object of his A and

whom the Apoſtle liſts in the 
Catalogue of the moſt pious 
and faithful Worthies of the 
Old Teſtament, vowing to of- 
fer a human Sacrifice to God, 
at the very Time when the 
5 ſays the Spirit of the 
Lord was upon him; and put- 
ting his Vow afterwards in Ex- 
ecution, tho* human Sacrifices 
were hateful to the Lord, and 
had provoked him utterly to 
de the Canaanites : I ſay, 
to find all this, is very puzzlin 

and unaccountable. But it 1s 
very ſtrange, that Tranſlators 
ſhould have rendered ſeveral 
Paſſages of this Vow in Favour 
of ſuch a cruel and barbarous

mit very well of a very differ- 
ent and reaſonable Meaning, 
as may be ſeen in the Notes 
they have ſet down in the Mar- 
gin of the 31ſt and'4oth Verſes 
of Ch. xi. Nobody can deny, 
but that the Word which is 
rendered and, ſigniſies or, in a 
great many Places of the Scrip- 


ture. Let it alſo be conſidered,

And that it is in ſuch a Caſe 
as this, that Jepthab is ſaid to 
have done arcording to his Vow, 
becauſe it is immediately ſub-

it's objected, that if this had

ſhould ſay, Speak, Lord, for thy Servant beareth. 

Then the Lord repeated to Samuel the Threatening: 
he had before denounced: againſt Eli and his Houſe. 
Eli, apprehending that the Lord had revealed to Sa- 
wel ſomething relative to his Sentence, obliged him 


to tell him what the Lord had ſaid to him; Samet TY

loſing 4% Men. But not diſcouraged with this | 
Defeat, and in order to ſecure their future Succeſs, 


they reſolve to carry the Ark with them, and ſent to 
 Hopbni and Phineas to bring it to the Camp; and on 


its Arrival there, the Mraelites gave a great Shout; 
which the Pbiliſtines hearing, and being informed of 
the Cauſe, were ſo diſheartened, that they were on 


the Brink of Deſpai The 7/raclites, on the other hand, 


were rod not doubting of Succeſs, as they wert 


under the Protection of the Ark. The Battle being 
joined, the Philiftines flew + of the Tfraehtes 30, 000 


Men, and among the reſt Hepbni and Phineas, and 
took the Ark of God: One of the Soldiers eſcaping, 
ran to: Shilob, and telling the People how Things 


went, there was a terrible Outery amovg them. Eli, 
RSE . who

who Was 4 the greateſt Concern for the Event, 
ſat in the Gate to hear what Newscame; and hearing 
this lamentable Noiſe, aſked what it meant? Upon 
which the Soldier was brought to him, who told him 


every Thing that had paſſed ; and when Eli heard + 4 | 


that the Ark was taken, he fell backward, for he 
was very old and heavy, and brake his Neck. The 


Wite of Phineas, who was big with Child; hearing | 


of all this-ill News, fell in Labour, and being deli- 


vered of a Son, with her dying Breath "Ca 1 f 


him Ichabod, which. ſignifies no Glory; or, as * | 
expreſſed it, The Glory 25 departed from Iſrael. 

The Philiftines carried the Ark to Aſbdod, ad put 
it in the. Temple. of Dagon, whom, the next Morn- 
ing, they found fallen upon his Face before the Ark, 
They ſet him in his Place, and the next Day found 
bim = only fallen, but his Head and the Palms of 
his Hands broken off, and lying on the Threſhold. 
But to. convince the PhiliRtines that God was preſent | 
with his Ark, though he had left the 7/raelites, he 
lays a heavy Judgment on Apdod, and all the adjacent 
Towns, by afflicting the People with the Hemor- 
rhoids, or Piles. The People being ſenſible that this 
was 2 Judgment from God, their Princes removed it 
from Aladed to Gath, where. it produced the ſame 
Effects. They then carried it to Etron. While the 
Ark was here, not only the Piles but a deadly Plague 
afflicted the People. Upon which the Prieſts beisg 
conſulted, they adviſed them to ſend.it away, but 
not empty, but to prepare a Treſpaſs-offering of 
Atonement for their Sacrilege, 
of five golden . Emrods, and five golden Mice, ac- 
28 to the Number vf the Philiſtine Lords. Allo,

a Burrt-offering to the Lord. But ſome of the Berb-

Deliverance from the Phik/tines. After this, ue 
was a general Aſſembly of the People at Miapeb, 
where, while they were praying and humbling them- 


| felves before God, the Philiſtines came upon them, 
which put them into a great Conſternation; where- _ 


upon they entreated Samuel to intercede with the Lord 
for them. Samuel therefore took a ſucking Lamb, 
and offered it whole à Burnt- offering to the Lord, and 
prayed for them. Upon which the Lord ſent ſuch A

great Diſorder, and the 1/raelites-purſving, gained a 

mighty Victory, and regained many Towns, which -

mory of this great Deliverance, Samuel ſet up a mo- 
ane Stone, calling it Ebenezer, or the Stone of 
Help 


After this, Samuel, for the better Adminiſtration | 


of Juſtice, took a yearly Circuit round the Country, 
returning to Ramab. But growing old, he appointed 
his two Sons, Foel and. Abiab, Judges in I/rael; but

them a King ; but at the ſame Time to apprize them 
of the evil Treatment they were to expect at his 
Hands. But notwithſtanding this Caution, they per- 
ſiſted in their Reſolution to have a King. Samuel dif- 
miſſed them for that Time, in order to wait for fur

' came to Ramab. 'Samue!'s Reſidence. Saul's Servant 
felling him there was a Seer lived there, who might 


inform him of the Aſſes, Saul wem to him. God had 
the Day before apprized Samuel of Saul's coming, 
and declared to him he was the Perſon he had choſen 
to be King. On Saul's Approach, Samuel invited him 


to the Sacrifice, and afterwards to dine with him, 


where he placed him at the upper End of the Table. 
The next Morning he called him up to diſmiſs, him, 


and going Part of the Way with him towards the End 


of the City, he bids him ſtand {till ; and taking out a 
Vial of Oil, poured it on his Head, and kilk 70 
adding, that God had appointed him King ever his 
People, Then, to aſſure him of the Truth of this, 
he foretold ſeveral Occurrences he ſhould meet with in 

Bis Way Home. After which, he ordered him to go 
1 Gilgal, where, in ſeven Days, he might expect 
him. 


All this was aka privately between themſelves, but 
for the general Satisfaction of the People, Samuel 

called them before the Lord at Mizpeb; to which © 

Place the Ark was brought, that the Choice might  - 


be openly made, and declared by caſting Lots among 


All the Tribes, to know from which of them the 
| King ſhould be taken. The Lot fell on the Tribeof 


Benjamin, then on the Family of Mazri, and laſtly 
on Saul; who not being preſent, the People enquired 
of the Lord, whether they ſhould fetch him or not;

that every Man ſhould have his right Eye put out, al-

him ſend for him, for he would not ſet down to eat 
till he came. Being come, Samuel viewed him with 
Pleafure, for he was a moſt beautiful Youth ; and 
God ſuggeſting to him, that this was he, Samuel 
anointed him in the Midſt of his Brethren. 
From that Day the Spirit of the Lord was with 
David, but departed from Saul, and an (y) evil Spi- 
rit poſſeſſed him. His Servants adviſed him to divert 
his Melancholy with Muſic ; and recommended to 
him David, who was an excellent Muſician, a brave 
Man, and a comely / Perſon. Upon which Meſſen- 
gers are immediately ſent to 7eſſe, deſiring. him to 
permit his Son to wait on the King. He accordingly -

he repeats his Requeſt to eſſe, that David might con- 
tinue with him; to which the old Man readily con-

David, who was returned Home from Court, is 
ſent by his Father to, viſit his three Brethren, who 
were in Saul's Army, and to carry them Proviſions. 
While David was talking with them, Goliab appears 
and utters his uſual Defiance in David's Hearing. The 
King, to encourage ſome brave Man to accept the 
Challenge, cauſed it to be proclaimed, that whoever 
would fight this Philiſtine ſhould not only have a Re- 
ward, but the King would give him his Daughter, an 
make his Father's Houſe free in 1/rae!. David hear 85 
this, and deſiring to have it repeated to him, and 
his Brother Eliab hearing his Reply to it, took Oc- 
caſion to pick a Quarrel with him; which, to avoid, 
David turned from him, and ſpoke to another Man, ex- 
preſſing a great Zeal for his Country, and a high Con- 
tempt for this Giant. His Words ſoon reached Sauls 
Ear, who ſending for him, David preſents himſelf, and 
with great Preſence of Mind thus beſpeaks the King? 
Let no Man's Heart fail becauſe of bim; thy Servant 
will go and fight with this Philiſtinmme. 
Saul admired his Courage, but told him, he was 
too young to engage ſuch a ſeaſoned Soldier as Goliab 
was. To this David anſwered, that he had once 
ſlain a Lion and a Bear with his own Hand; and 


had not the leaſt Doubt but the ſame Providence 


which delivered him then, will ſtand by him now.

Belt and Bow: After which Saul, in Recompence 
for his Service, gives him-the Command of his Men 
of War : In which Poſt David behaved with ſuch 
Prudence, as to gain univerſal Applauſe. 75 

When Saul and David returned from this Victory, 
among thoſe that came to congratulate them, were 
the Women playing upon muſical Inſtruments, and 
ſinging, Saul hath ſlain his Thouſands, and David his 
ten Thouſands. This unluckily gave Saul a Hint that 
David aimed at the Crown. From this Time, Saul 
reſolved to take him off ; and the next Day his Me- 
lancholy returning, David played before him, as 
- uſual, on his Harp; and not ſuſpecting any Danger, 
Saul darted his Javelin at him, which happily miſſing 
him, David withdrew. Upon which David was re-

which till inflamed Sau/'s Jealouſy, and put him up- 
on contriving Means to deſtroy him. 
According to Saul's Declaration before the Battle, 
David might have claimed one of his Daughters, as 
Part of the promiſed Reward ; but neither had Da- 
vid put in his Claim, nor had Saul offered to perform 
his Promiſe. But now, thinking the Performance 
of it might be the Means of ridding himſelf of him, is 
tells him, he deſigned to beſtow on him his eldeſt | 
Daughter; but in this he broke his Word, for ſhe 
was given to Adriel. But having another Daughter, 
who, he was informed, was in Love with David, he 
pray her to him, and as he expected no Dowry, 
e only deſired that he would bring him an hun- 
dred Foreſkins of the Pbiliſtines. David accepts the - 
Terms, and taking a ſelect Number of Men, makes 
an Incurſion upon the Philiſtines, flew 200 of then 
and delivers their Foreſkins to Saul. Saul could not 
get off from an Engagement he had ſo publickly _ 
made, and therefore gave him his Daughter Michal. 
Saul being thus defeated in all his Attempts againſt _ 
David's Life, charges Jonathan and all his Servants 
to. kill David. But Jonatban abhorring the Thought, 
gave him timely Notice of the impending-Dan- 
er, adviſing him to ſecure himſelf 'till the next 
Morning, and in the mean while he would ex- Ml

But this good Diſpoſition did not long continue, 
for Saul being taken with another frantic Fit, David

doing, Saul darted his Javelin at him; but David

The Feaſt -of the New Moon being come, Saul 
takes his Seat at the Table as uſual, the reſt of the 
Company ſat down, but David's Place was empty. 
Saul took no Notice of his Abſence the firſt Day; 
but miſſing him on the ſecond, he asked Jonathan 
where he was? Jonathan told him he had deſired 
Leave to go to the anniverſary Feaſt of his Family 
at Bethlebem. Saul knew the Intimacy between them, 
and ſuppoſing this to be only an Excuſe, reproaches 
him in the moſt indecent Language, telling him, that 
as long as the Son of Feſſe lived, he ſhould not inherit 
the Kingdom. But notwithſtanding this Repulſe, 
Jonat ban pleads for his Friend David, and deſired to 
know of his Father, what Reaſon he had for thus 
perſecuting him? This ſo enraged Saul, that he 
threw his Javelin at him: Upon which Jonathan 
withdrew in great Anger; and next Morning taking 
his Bow, he went into the Field, and gave the Signal” 
for David to appear. They affectionately embrace; 
and having mutually ſworn an everlaſting Friendſhip, 
they parted. | e e aaa tem 
David then went to Nob, where the Tabernacle 
was, and applying to Abimelech the Prieſt, he ſupplied 
him with Bread, and gave him Goliab's Sword: Da- 
vid and his Company being refreſhed went to Achih* 
the Philiſtine, King of Gath. But he was ſoon diſce-- 
vered, and pointed out to Acbiſb as the moſt formi- 
dable Enemy the Phili/tines had. David, to elude ' 
the Diſcovery, counterfeited the Madman ſo natu- 
rally, as to deceive the King, and ſo eſcaped the 
Danger, and fled to the Cave of Adullam; whither 
all his Father's Family, Debtors, and other diſtreſſed 
and diſſatisfied Perſons, reſorted to him to the Num- 
ber of 400 Men. But knowing this Place would not 
be long a Security for him againſt Saul's Malice, he 
puts his Father and Mother under the Protection of 
the King of Moab, and then returned into the Land 
of Fudah, and went into the Foreſt of Havilah. 8 |

did very liberally, which ſo pleaſed David, that in a 
holy Rapture, he ſung a Hymn of Prailes and Prayer 
to the Lord, before all the People. 

David, perceiving his End approaching, called for 
his Son Solomon, to give him his laſt Counſel and 
Bleſſing ; and his Advice to him was, to govern his 
Subjects according to Juſtice ; to worſhip God, and 
obſerve his (g) Precepts, and keep his Laws; which 
if he did, the Kingdom would be eſtabliſhed to him- 
ſelf, and the Succeſſion continued in his Family; but 
if he neglected ſo to do, he muſt never expect the 
Bleſſings of God's Favour and Protection. He then 
reminded him of the Iniquity of Joab, who had 
murdered Abner and Amaſa, two worthy good Men, 
leaving it to his own Wiſdom to do by him as he 
thought fit. He deſired him to be kind to the Sons 
of Barzillai, for the Friendſhip he received from their 
Father. As to Shimei, who had abuſed and inſulted

of the Throne, before his Brother Adonijab (for 
Reaſons not mentioned) addreſſed himſelf to Bath-

with the King to give him Abiſbag the Shunamite to 
Wife. Bailiſbeba promiſed to ts For all her Intereſt 
to ſerve him, and encouraged. him to hope the beſt. 
Accordingly ſhe went directly to her Son, to confer 
with him about it. Solomon received his Mother with 
all poſſible Reſpect, and placed her at his right Hand 
on a Chair of State. Bazhſbeba entered immediately 
on the Buſineſs, requeſting that he would give Abi- 
ſhag in Marriage to his Brother Adonijab. And why, 
ſaid Solomon (perceiving the ambitious Deſign of 
Adonijah) why deſt thou not aſk for him the Kingdom 
alſo ; for he is my elder Brother? Upon which he lent 
Benaiah, who fell upon him and flew him. 

As to Abiathar the high Prieſt, Solomon told him 
he had deſerved to die, but in Regard of the Ser- 


vices he had done his Father, and of the Part he had 


bore in bringing back the Ark, he only baniſhed 
him to his Country Seat at Anathoth, and thruſt him 
out from the Prieſthood. - 

Joab hearing of the Death of Adonijab, and judging 
his Turn would be next, fled for Refuge to the Al- 
tar. Of which Solomon being informed, ſent Be- 
naiah to diſpatch him. But Joaò refuſing to leave the 


Sanctuary, and declarin 55 he would die there, Be-

ſently ordered him to cut him off where he was; a juſt 
Puniſhment for the two Murders of Abner and Ama- 


a. Upon the Execution of this Commiſſion, Be- 


naiab was made General in his Room, and Zadok * 
pointed to ſucceed AMiathar.

but three Vears afterwards two of his Servants run+ _ _ 
ning away from him to Gatb, he went in Purſuit of 
them, and brought them back. The King having 
Notice of it, called Shimei to a ſevere Account; and 
reminding him of his Promiſe, as alſo of his former 
Inſult to his Father in Diſtreſs, ordered Benaiab to put 
him to Death. 
The Heads of the F action being thus cut off, So- 
lomon aſſembled all the Officers and Chiefs of 1/rael, 
and went te the High-place in Gibeon, where the 
Tabernacle then was, ge the Ark was at Jeruſa- 
lem, and offered a thouſand Burnt-offerings upon the 
brazen Altar before the Lord; which was ſo pleaſing 
to the Lord, that he appeared to Solomon in a Dream 
that Night, and bids him aſk what he ſhould give 
him. Solomon humbly acknowledging his own Inabi- 
lity to govern ſo great a People, begs of him Wiſ- 
dom to diſcharge ſo great a Truſt. His Requeſt ſo 
pleaſed the Lord, that he not only grants him that, 
but promiles he ſhould exceed all the Kings, either 
before or after him, in Riches, royal Pomp, and 
Magnificence ; and that, if he would be obedient. to 
his Commands, beſides Wealth and Honour, he 
would give him Length of Days to enjoy them. 
Upon which, returning to Feruſalem, he offered 
Peace- offerings before the Lord, and feaſted all his 
Servants. 8 
About this Time a very difficult Caſe was brought 
before the King. Two Harlots, who. lodged toge- 
ther in the ſame Houſe, were each of them delivered 
of a Son the ſame Night. Three Nights afterwards, 
one of them overlaid "her Child, and ſmothered it. 
Upon which ſhe ſoftly ſteals to the other Woman, 


and taking her living Child out of her Arms while © 1 


| ſhe was aſleep, lays her own. dead one in the Room of 
it. In the Morning the Woman offering to give herr 


Child ſuck, found it was dead; but conſidering it

more attentively, ſhe was convinced it was not her o 
Child. She therefore charged the other Woman 


with impoſing her dead Child upon her, and robbing 


her of her own living Infant. This the other Wo- 
man ſtifly denies, and inſiſts that the living Child is 
her's, and the dead one the other's. Solomon having 


heard the Caſe, and finding there were no Witneſſes 
to clear up the Difficulty, orders one of his Guards 


to divide the living Child into two Parts, and give 
one half to one Woman, and the other half to the 
other. The real Mother hearing his Judgment, and 
her Bowels yearning for .her Intant, begged that the 
other Woman might have it, rather than it ſhould 
be deſtroyed. But the other Woman ſeemed indiffe- 


rent, and entirely acquieſced in the King's Sentence. 


The King rightly judging, that ſhe who expreſſed fo 
much Tenderneſs and Affection for the Child, was 
the true Mother of it, adjudged it to her. This 
wiſe Deciſion gained him the Reſpect and Reverence 
of al} his Subjects; and the Fame of his Wiſdom 
ſpread ſo far, that People from all Parts came to con- 
ſult him. He likewiſe compoſed 3000 Proverbs, 
1905 Poems, and wrote ſeveral - Treatiſes of natural 
Philoſophy z; moſt of which, it is thought, were loſt 
in the Captivity. 

Solomon now makes Alliances with his Neighbours, 
and takes the King of Egyp!'s Daughter to Wife. 
Being now at Leiſure, he remembers his Father's 
Charge about building the Temple. Hiram, King of 
Tyre, who was always a Friend of David's, about 
this Time, ſent Ambaſſadors to congratulate Solomon 
on his Acceſſion to the Throne, Solomon takes this 
Opportunity of writing a Letter to Hiram, acquaint- 
ing him with his Deſign of building a Temple to the 
Lord, and to requeſt the Liberty of cutting down 


Timber in Lebanon for the Uſe of the ſaid Houle. 
Hiram, in Anſwer, grants him the Leave he deſires, 


and, 


| HOLY BIB EE. 18 
and, in Return, requeſts only ſuch a Quantity of Corn 


as ſtood with his Convenience. 


Upon this, Solomon eauſes a Muſter to be ml of - | 


all his Workmen that were Strangers, amounting to 


213, 300 Men; 70,000 of theſe he appointed to bear 
Burdens; '1 10,000 to hew Timber and Stone, and 
the other 3300 to be Overſeers of the Work. Be- 


fides theſe, he raiſed 30,000 of his own People, whom 


he ſent to work with the King of Tyre's Men in Le- 


banon. When all the Materials were in Readineſs, 
on the ſecond day of the ſecond Month, in the fourth 


Year- of Solomon's Reign, the Foundation of the 


Temple was laid on Mount Moriah, and in his ele- 


venth Year, in the eighth Month, it was finiſhed in 
all Parts; ſo that it was ſeven Years and ſix Months 
in building. And the Materials were all ſo exactly 
fitted for che Work before · hand, that no iron Tool 
was heard in it while it was in building. For a par- 
ticular Deſcription of this magnificent Building, ſee 


1 Kings vi, vii. 


When the Temple was gniſhed, Solomon made a ſo- 


lemn Dedication of it, with Burnt-offerings and 


Peace- offerings without Number; to which he in- 
vited the Heads of Jrael, the Princes of the Tribes, 
and the Heads of Families, who aſſembled at Feru- _, 
ſalem, to convey the Ark of the Covenant into the 

Temple, to which the Prieſts and Levites carried it. 
together with the Tabernacle, with all the holy Veſ- 


ſels and Utenſils thereunto belonging; which being 
_ depoſited in their reſpective Places, an Hymn was 
ſung, accompanied with the Sound of Trum 


and other muſical Inſtruments. After which *

and Bleſſing, he, and the People with him, offered

ven ich conſumed the Burnt- offering and the 
Sacrifices. This Feaſt of the Dedication was kept 
ſeven Days ſucceſlively ; during which Salmen 
offered 22, 00 Oxen, and 120,000 Sheep. 

Solomon having thus i finiſhed, and, Jedicared: & the 
| Houſe of the Lord, built a Palace, for himſelf and 
his Queen, which was thirteen Years in building; 
beſides many other magnificent Edifices, and ſtate- 
ly. Cities. In all which the King of Tyre greatly 
aſſiſted him, both with Men, Materials, and 
Shipping: In Requital of which, Solomon gave him 
twenty Cities in the Land of Galilee, which Hiram not 
liking, he reſtored them again, and Solomon Planted 
them with Colonies of Iſraelites. 

Solomon was now grown ſo famous for his Wiſ- 
dom, that all Princes, far and near, ſought to him 
or Inſtruction, preſenting him with Silver, Gold, 
Veſtments, Armour, Spices, Horſes, Mules, Se. | 
Among many other royal Perſonages, whom the

Court, was the Queen of Sheba, who came to try his 
Skill, in reſolving difficult Queſtions. Having firſt 
made him a royal Preſent, ſhe conferred with him, 
and received ſuch Satisfaction, that ſhe was aſto- 
niſned at the Profoundneſs of his Judgment. And 
when ſhe had ſeen the Houſe of the Lord, the King's 
Palace, and the Economy of his Houſhold, ſhe de- 
clared, that one Half had not been told her of what 
her Eyes had ſeen, The Queen having thus grati- 
fied her Curioſity, ſhe took her Leave, and returned 
laden with a. royal Preſent, and filled with Admi- 
ration of his Wiſdom and Grandeur. For his daily 
Proviſion was 30 Meaſures of fine Flour, and 60 
of Meal, 10 ſtall-fed Oxen, 20 Oxen out of

no: Prince's Reign was ever ſo peaceable, plentiful, or

Enemies. The firſt was Hadad, of the royal Blood: 
of 'Edom, who having fled from Joab, when he ra- 
vaged the Country, took Refuge with Pharabb King 
of Egypt; but on the Death of David returned to his 
own Country, from whence he frequently diſturbed 
Hrael. Another of his Enemies was Rezon, who 
reigned in Demaſtus,' aud infeſted Solomon all the 
Time of his declining Reign. But the moſt dan- 
us Enemy of all was Jeroboam, whom Solomon had 
made Ruler over the Houſe of Foſeph : To him God 
fent the Prophet Abijab, to tell him that God had ap-

bes; aſſuring him, if he would ſerve the Lord, 
his Family ſhould be eſtabliſhed. in the Government 
of Jfrael; but would reſerve one entire Tribe for 
David's Sake. Tho' this Matter was concerted very 
privately, yet Solomon got Notice of it; which 
obliged Feroboam to retire to Shiſhak King of Egypt, 
Where he remained till the Death of Solomon, Who 
having reigned 40 Years died, and was buried in the 
City of David. |

The old-Prophet hearing of it, went and fetched his

Neither was Reboboam much behind him in Iniquity, 
after his three Years good Reign; but both he and 
his People ated more impiouſly than all that went 
before him. For which God chaſtizes them by Shi- 
Hat, King of Egypt, who invades Judab and Benja- 
min with a vaſt Army, ravages the Country, and 
then approaches Jeruſalem; which put Rehoboam and 
the People into a great Conſternation. The Prophet 
Shemaiah told them, it was a judgment of God on

ſucceeded by his Son Abiam ; who began his Reign 
in the 18th: Year of Jeroloam King of Iſrael. Abian 
was an active Prince, and of a martial Spirit; z and 
reſolving to end the long conteſted Diſpute between 
the two Kingdoms of Judab and Iſrael, he raiſed an 
Army of 400,000 Men; to encounter which, Jerobo- 
am brought into the F ield an Army of 800,000 Men. 5 
Juſt before the Battle began, Abiam got upon a riſin

Iſrael, in which he ſet forth his Right to the whole

About this Time, Jeboſapbat made a League with 
Abad, and ſtrengthened the Alliance by marrying 
his Son to Abab's Daughter. Soon after Jebo- 
ſapbat paid a Viſit to Aal at Samaria. Abab takes 
this Opportunity to invite him to go with him to the 
Siege of Ramoth-Gilead, then poſſeſſed by the ꝙri- 
ani. Jeboſaphat conſents, but firſt would have the 
Approbation of the Prophets. Upon which bab 
aſſembles his Prophets, who all adviſe him to go up, 
for the Lord would deliver the Place into bis Hands. 
Fehoſaphat aſked him, if there was not a Prophet of 
the Lord at Hand, whom they might conſult ? Abab 
anſwered, that there was one Micajab, but that he 
never propheſied any Good of him. But Jebeſapbat 
deſired he might be ſent for, and when he came, he 
charged Abab's Prophets with Falſhood, and foretold, 
that the Enterprize would be fatal to I/rael, and ad- 
viſed the two Kings to deſiſt. Abab, however, would 
not believe him, but ordered him to be impriſoned 
till his Return, and marches on to meet the Syrians. 
Abab, however, thinking to elude Micafab's Pro- 
hecy, diſguiſed himſelf, and fought in his Charick,

eat Formalities from the Prophet, was going away f; 
in a ary <f but TO better adviſed, he went and 
dipped himſelf ſeven Times in Jordan, and his Fleſh © 
came again like that of a young Child. Then re- 
turning to Eliſba, he acknowledged that there was _ . 
no. God in all the Earth but the God of 1#ael, and 
preſſed the Prophet to receive a Preſent from him, 
which he refuſed. Naaman proteſtetl that he would 
never offer any Sacrifice but to — God of 1/rael, and 
hoped the Lord would pardon bim, if, when waiting 
on his Maſter in the Temple of Rimmon, be bowed bim- 
Jef there. To this the Prophet only anſwered, Go in 
eace. 
Eliſha. having thus diſmiſſed the Syrian General, 
Gebagi thinking it unreaſonable, that a Man of his 
Figere and Quality ſhould go off without paying ſome- 
thing for ſo great a Benefit, therefore, unknown to 
ever Body, as he thought, he runs after. Naaman, = 
and ov m, forging a Meſſage in his Ma- 
ſter's Name, delired a Talent of Silver, and two 
Changes of Raiment, for two Sons of the Prophets 
that were come to viſit him. Naaman preſſed him to 
take two Talents of Silver, beſides the Garments, 
which Gebai received, and went Home and hid them. 
But his Maſter knowing, by Inſpiration, what he 
had done, reproaches bim with In delity; and, as a 
Puniſhment, told him that Naaman's Leproſy ſhould |

Soon after this, War was declared between Syria 
and Iſrael. The King of Syria lay Ambuſcades in 
ſeveral Places, but was as often fruſtrated of his De- 
ſigns, becauſe Eliſpba gave Notice of them to the 
King of Hrael. The King of Syria ſuſpecting that 
ſome of his Officers had betrayed him, charges them

his Deſigns. Upon which thẽ᷑ King learning that EljÞa 


Woas at Dot ban, he ſent a ſtrong Party to apprehend him,

the Prophet's Servant came trembling; to tell him 
that the Town was begirt with a Body of the Enemy, 
that were come to take him. 
"A ark, and to convince him he was in no Danger, 
he prayed God to open his Eyes. His Prayers were 
heard, and his Servant inſtantly beheld (m) a Multi- 


"tude of Horſes and Chariots round about Eſha to 


guard him. The Prophet then prayed that God 


would caſt a Miſt before the Eyes of theſe People, 
that they might not diſcern him from another Man. 


His Requeſt being granted, he threw himſelf among 
their Troops, and aſked them whom they were feek- 


ing for? They ſaid, for Eliſba the Prophet. Well, 


ſaid Eliſha, follow me, and you ſhall have him. They 


*accordingly went after him, till he brought them 


into Samaria. He then bid the Gates to be ſhut, and 
the Syrians ſurrounded. Eliſha then prayed God to 
reſtore them to their Sight again; and their Eyes be-

The King ſeeing 


them thus in his Power, aſked the Prophet if he 
might not put them all to Death, which he abſolutely 


oppoſed, as a Proceeding againſt all Honour and Ju- 


ſtice : Rather, ſaid Eliſba, ſet Proviſions before them, 


(m) It muſt be allowed that 
Angels, whether they be purely 
ſpiritual, or (as others think) 
cloathed with ſome material 
Form, cannot be ſeen by mor- 
tal Eyes; and therefore, as 
Eliſba himſelf, without a pecu- 
har Vouchſafement of God, 
could not diſcern the heavenly

camped about him, ſo he 1e- 
queſts of God, that, for the 
Removal cf his Fears, and. the 


Confirmation of his Faith, his 
Servant might be indulged with 
the ſame Privilege ; nor does 
it ſeem unlikely, that, from 
ſuch Accounts as theſe, that 
have been deſcended by Tra-

Witch the taking of Babylon ended the Babyloniſh 
Empire, after it had continued from the Beginning 
of the Reign of Narbonaſſar, its firſt Founder, 209 
Years; and 50 Years after it had deſtroyed the 
City and Temple of Feruſalem; whereby many of 
the Prophecies of 1/aiah, Jeremiab, Habbakkuk, and 
Daniel, denounced againſt it, were accompliſhed. 
_ Cyrus having ſettled his Affairs, and divided his 
whole Empire into 120 Provinces, diſtributed the 
Government of them among his moſt deſerving Offi- 
cers; over whom he and, Cyaxares, or Darius, ap- 
pointed three Preſidents; ho were to reſide at 
ourt, and the Chief of rheſe was Daniel; in Con- 
ſequence of which, he was entruſted with the Super- 
intendency and main Government of the Whole Em- 
pire; which drew upon him the Malice and Envy of 
he other Preſidents and Princes. But as they could 
find no Fault with his public Adminiftration, or in 
any Part of his Conduct, except in Regard to his 
Religion, they reſolved to attack him in that Point; 
and : Ia perfuaded the King to publiſh a Procla- 
mation, That whoever ſhould aſt any Petition'either of

thirty Days, ſhould be thrown ihto the Lion's Den.

The \priwary King, taking this for à Teſtimony 
of their Loyalty, conſented to it, and it paſſed into 
» Decree,” Though',Danitt knew this Was levelled 
at him, yet he conthaved his uſual Courſe of praying 


„% ant 


to, and praifing God three Times a Day, with his 
Window open towardy Feruſalem. His Enemies 
having taken him in the very Act, accuſe him to 
Darius of having diſobeyed the Decree, and demand 
immediate Execution of the Sentence againſt him. 
The King, too late, ſaw through the baſe Deſign, 
and laboured, though in vain, to get the Decree re- 
verſed ; for they told him, that the Royal Decrees, 
according to the Law of the Medes and Per/ians, 
were irreverſible ; and therefore Daniel muſt fuffer 
the Penalty. Their Solicitations prevailed, and 
Daniel was delivered to them; but at the ſame 
Time the King propheſied, That the God whom be 
| ſerved continually would preſerve bim. Daniel being 
thrown into the Den, a great Stone was laid at the 
Mouth of it, and ſealed both with the King's and the 
Lords Signet. The King retired to his Palace very 
wan. and early thęegrt Morning repairing to the 
d'Deſpair, cries out, O Da- 


en, between” Hopes air, Cries ot 
niel, Servant f the living Cod, is thy God, whom thou © 
ſer veſt continually, able tò deliver thee from the Lions? 
Yes, O King, replied” Daniel? My God bath ſent bie 
Angel, who bath ſhut the Lions Mouths, that they have 
not hurt me, | becauſe he found me innocent, and faithful 
to thee. The King, overjoyed to find him ſafe, or- 
dered him immediately t6 be taken out of the Den, 
and his Accuſery, their Wives and Children, to be 
thrown into it, who were inſtantly tore to Pieces by 
the Lions. Upon which the King publiſhed a Procla- 
mation, That in all Parts of bis Dominions Men ſhould 


fear and tremble before the God of Daniel. 
There are two Stories in the Apocrypba which ſome. 

add to the Book of Daniel, making that of Suſanna's

reckon from the eleventh of Zedetiab, to rhe fourth 
of Darius, it was alſo juſt ſeventy Years ; ſo that 
either Way, Jeremiab's Prophecy of the an 
Years Captivity will be equally accompliſned. |

Sanballat, and his Confederates, being) chsch 
inted, reſolve to try ſame other Way. For this 
pu poſe they bribe to thein lntereſt mais, the Son 
of Delaink: the Prieſt, who was a Friend of Nehe- 
miab. Sbemaiab, under à Pretence of propheſying 
that Nebomiabs Enemies: would that Night make ad 
Attempt to murder him, would have perſuaded him 
to go with him into the inner Part of the Temple, 
and ſecure themſelves by ſhutting the Doors. But 
Nebemiab told him he would not quit ehis Station, 
for itil not become a Man in. his Eoſt to take Re- 
Thus God preſerving him from all their 
Treacheryj he in 32 Days compleated he whole 
Worle. tothe great Confuſion: of his Enemies. 
NMebemiab though he had ſurmounted dick-Dif- | 
culties, ve had freſh. Troubles and Dangers! to en- 
counter q for the Princes of Judab held a Correſpond- 
ence with Tobiab, and betrayed Nebertiab's:Counſels, |

his Enemies; within or without the City, he gave 
the Charge of the Gate to his Brother Hanami, and 
to Hanamah, Marſhal of the Palace, two Men in 
whom he could confide.” After this, Raving found 
a Regiſter, of the Families of thoſe who came from 
Babylon finſt, he ſummoned the People to make a 
Muſter of them by their Genealogies. By chis Re-

On the 24th. of the ſame Month the Jes aſſembled 
again, appearing in L Sackcloth, faſting and mourn- 
ing, confeſſing their Sins, and deprecating the 

Judgments due to ther Fathers and their dn Ini- 


quities. Then they recognized all the grand Inſtancs 


of his Providence, in delivering them from their 
Enemies and Perſecutors; and laſtly, made a Covenant 
with the Lord, to walk in his Law which was given 
by Maſes: To which the Princes, Prieſts and Zzvites 
ſet their Seals, and the reſt bound themſelves with an 
Oath to obſer Ve it. A RM My Seer 5 Eds 5 of 
Nebemiab being gone to the Perſian Coũrt, the 
People again relapſed . into their old Corruption; 
cwing, in a great Meaſure, to the Miſmanagement 
of Eliaſbib the high Prieſt, who had allowed Tobiab © 
an Apartment in the Temple, where the Offerings 
and other Things of the Prieſts and Levites uſed to be 
repoſited. So that, when' Nehemiah returned to Je- 
ruſalem, he was not a little ſurprixed to find ſuch a 
groſs Profanation of the Temple. In order to put an 
End to this, he cauſed the Book of the Law to be 
read. publickly, - wherein. it is commanded, bat an 
Ammonite or Moabitegbould nor- come into the Congre-. 
gation of | God, | eveh to it tenth Generation, The Peo- 
ple hearing this, ſeparated themielves immediately

Another Corruption that grew up in his Abſence” 
was, the Neglect of carrying on the daily Service of 
the Houſe of God in a decent Manner. For the 
Tithes, which were to maintain the Miniſters of the 
Temple, being either embezzled by the high Prieſt, 
or with-held by the Laity, the Levitet and Singers 
were forced to go into the Country to get a Subfiſt- 
ence; to remedy which, he ordered the People to 
bring their Tithes of Corn, Wine, and Mil into the 
Nong. 17. LI | Treaty

The Profanation of the Sabbath was ; another: Evil 8

the Jews not only af Gi all Manner of ſervile Works 
on that Day, but permitted Strangers to come and 
{ell their Fiſh, and other Commodities, publickly in 
the Streets. To put a Stop to this notorious Breach: 
of the Sabbath, Nehemiah! gave a ſtrict Order, that 
towards the Evening of that Day, the City Gates 
ſhould be ſhut; and not opened til the Sabbath. Was 
over, and ſet his o¼n Servants to guard the Gates; 
and when the Dealers lodged wichout' the Gates, in 
Hopes of ſelling to thè L,otnrny People, he threat - 
ened to take them een if they ** weer

For ſince their Return from the Captivity, they had;

the Son of Fehviada, the hig rieſt, had married the 
Daughter of Sanballat the Horonute; and therefore 
he required them all under ſevere Penalties (which he 
executed an ſome) t put away their Wives, and ro» 
have no more Communion of that Kind with Fo-

others in the like Circumſtances, went and ſettled 
under his Father · in-law in Samuria.

Judas being nom Maſter of all Judea, thought it | 
bis Duty to purge the Houſe of the Lord, and to 
remove thoſe Profanations, which' for three Years 
aſt it had been forced to ſubmit to. For this 
Purpoſe he appointed a Number of Prieſts to cleanſe 
the Sanctuary, to pull down the/"idolatrous Altar, 
and build another, to tonſecrate the Courts, and 
to make all Things fit for the Service of God. 4 6 
Antiochus, in his- Pillage” of che Temple, "had | 
taken away the Altar of Incenſe; M Table of the 
'Shew-bread, the golden Candleſtick, &c. but Judas, 
out of the Spoils' ad taken from the Enemy, 
was able to have all t. Things made a- new, of the 
Manner they were be- 
fore. All Things being put if rder, he had the 
Temple dedicated aga With as much Solemnity 
as the preſent State of Affairs would allow; and in 
Commemoration hereof 5 Mite a Feſtival of eight 
Days, to begin on the th of the- Month Chilln 
(about the 20th of our November) tobe annually 
obſerved. He likewiſe fortified the Mountain' of 
the Temple with ſtrong Walls and Bulwarks, and 
placed a Garriſon in i och to defend it, and to pro- 


' te thoſe who went up to'worſhip from the Inſults of 


the Fortreſs on Mount Acra, where the Enemy ſtill 
had a Garriſonn 

When the neighbduring Nations had heard of 
theſe Proceedings of Judas they were moved with 
ſuch Envy and Hatred againſt the Jews, that they BY 
poſed to join with Autiochus in the Extirpation o 
whole Nation; and had accordingly put to Death all 
whom they found among them. Bot Judas, having 
fortified Bethſura againſt the Idumeans, made War

a, yet Demetrius Son of Seleucur Philopater, elder 
Brother to Antiorbus Epipbaneb, was righeful Heir; 
but was ſent to Rome as an Hoſtage, the very Year 
that his Father died, in Exchange for his Uncle 
Anteovbus,. who! returning, at the very Niek»of Time, 
was declared King in the Abſence and Minority of 
the rightful: Heir. Demetrius, being in the 23d 
Year of his Age when his Uncle died, chought it 
high Time to put in his Claim to the Crown, and 
accordingly moved the Senate of Name for chalk 
Aſſiſtance to recover it. But the Senate, judging it 
would be more for their Intereſt to have a Boy reign 
in Syria (as Eupater was) than a Man of mature Un- 
derſtanding, as they knew Demetrius to be, they 
confirmed Eupater in the Kingdom. Demetrius, 
therefore, made his Eſcape from Nome, to try his 
Fortune in his own Country; and landing at Tripolis 
in Syria, gave out that he was ſent — Se- 
nate to take Hoſſeſſion of the Kingdom. Hereupon 
Eupater was deſerted by every Body; ry the Sol- 


diers ſeized him and the Regent Lyfas,. in order to 


deliver them up to — but he ordered them 
do be put to Death z and ſo without aux e 5

Soon after this, Acimus," who had: been ola

came to Demetrius, imploring his Protection againſt 
Judas and his Partys — them of being Ene- 
mies to the King, Fomentors of Sedition, and Mur- 
therers and Perſecutors of his moſt faithful Subjects. 

Demetrius was ſo exaſperated by this Repreſentation, 3 
that he. immediately ordered Baccbhides to march with 
an Army into Judea and, having confirmed Alcimus 
in the Office of high Prieſt,-joined him in the ſame

who was 4 Frag, mould aſk Water bf her; who wa 
à Samaritan, betwixt whom there was no friendly 
Correſpondence. But perceiving, by his Diſcourſe, 
that he was à prophet, ſhe undertook this Qgeſtion 
with him: Our Fathers worſhipped in this Mountain ; 
and ye ſay that Jeruſalem is the Place where Men ought to 
worſhip. Jeſus calmly anfwered, Salvation is of tht 
Jews, and tue know what wwe worſhip, ye do not; and 
as the Subject of the Qgarrel was ſoon to be taken 
away, Jeſus takes Occaſſon to preach the Goſpel; 
which would be a Means of reconciling their jarring 
Intereſts, and ſettle a Revelation to be verified for 
ever. He tells her alſo of living Water, of eternal 
Satisfaction, her own perſonal Condition, and pro- 
feſfes himſelf to be the Meſias. Upon Which his 
Diſciples arrive, who wonder to ſee him talking with 
the Woman. She, however, full of Joy and Won- 
der, leaves her Water- pot, and ran to the City to 
publiſh the Mæſias. Upon which the People imme- 
diately came out to ſee, and many believed on him, 
not only on her Teſtimony, but on hearing his own 
Diſcourſes.” Then they invited him into the Town,

which ſo enraged them, that they ſought to Kill him, 
for this double Offence of working a Cate, and com- 
manding the Man to carry his Bed, both on the Sab-

Whilſt our Saviour was this inſtructing his Diſ- 
ciples,” he is interrupted by Jobn, who tells him of 4 
Stranger that eaſt our Devils in his Name; but as he 
did not belong to their Company he forbad him ; 
which! Jeſus by no Means approved: For, ſaid, he, 
he that is n againſt un, is for us; Luke ix. 49, 50. 1 
The Feaſt of the Tabernacles now drawing near, 
the bleſſed: Jeſus was importuned by his Kindted to 
repair to it, that the World might ſee the Miracles 
which he did, for the doing them in private was not 
the Way to acquire Fame; for neither did they be- 
lieve in him. He told them they might go where 
they would, becauſe the World hated them not? 
that his Doctrine had made him many Enemies, and 
that the Phariſees and Sadducees fought his Life, which 
it behoved him to preſerve till the appointed Time 
was come, Jabu vii. 6, GC.... 
Jeſus deſigning to go privatel) to the Feaſt, as he 
paſſed through a Village of Samaria, the Inhabitants 
refuſed him Entertainment; which ſo provoked the 
intemperate Zeal of James and Jobn, that they de- 
ſired Leave to call Fire from Heaven to conſume 
them, as Elias did. But Jeſus mildly reſtrains their 
furious Zeal, tells them, they are quite miſtaken in

Our bleſſed Saviour hoving ſo excellently, and fo 
much to their Admiration, anſwered the Phariſees, 
the Sudducees bring their Objection to him againſt 
the Reſurrection, by putting the Caſe of a Woman 
married to ſeven Huſbands, and whoſe Wife ſhould 


ſhe be in the Reſurrection? Thinking that to be an 


impoſſible State, which engages upon ſuch ſeeming 
Incongruities, that a Woman ſhould at once be Wife 
to ſeven Men. But Jeſus firſt anſwered their Objection 
by telling them, that all the Relations made in the 
State of Fleſh and Blood ſhall ceaſe in that State 


which is fo. ſpiritual, that it is like the Condition 05 


Angels, amongſt whom there is no Difference of Sex, 


no Genealogies or Derivations from one to another; 
Another Argument by which he proved. the Reſur⸗ 


rection Was, by one of God's Appellatives, who is 
called the God of . Abrabam,. of Jſaac, and of Faced: 
For, ſince God is not the God of the Dead, but of 
the Living, unto him even theſe Men are Ae, ad 
therefore al be reſtored to their Bodies, that their 
Actions may be complete, and they not remain in a 
State of Imperfection to all Eternity. 1 
The Phariſees were glad to ſee the Sadducces their 
| Antagoniſts confuted; upon which they aſk him 
another Queſtion, viz. Which is the great Command- 
ment in the Law ? To which he gives them a direct 
Anſwer. See Matt. xxii. 34s Sc. At laſt Jeſus 
aſked them a Queſtion concerning Chriſt, whoſe: Son 
he was? * hey A the Son of David. ie

then, ſaid our Saviour, dath David: call bim Lord? 


Saying, the Lord ſaid unto ny Lord, fit thou on my right 
Hand, &c. To which they could make no Reply. 


After this, Jeſus cautioned” his Diſciples "againſt 


the Pride, Hypocriſy, and Oppreſſion of the Phari- 


ſees, and recommended the poor Widow's Oblatiph _ = 
of her two Mites into the Treaſury, preferring her 


pious Intentions, who threw her All, before the mags 


nificent Gifts of the Rich, who had vaſtly ſtill to 
ſpare. Jeſus being then in the Temple, his Apoſ- 


tles point out to him, with Admiration, the Gran- 
deur of that glorious Structure; upon which Je 
foretels the Deſtruction of the Place. The Apoſtles, 
when they were in private with him, aſked him of 


the Times and Signs of ſuch fad Events. He tells 
them ſeveral Prognoſticks that ſhould happen, and 


then diſcourſes largely of his Coming to Judgment 
againſt the City of Feru/alem, and thence interweaves 
Predictions of the univerſal Judgment of the World, 
of which this, tho* very ſad, was but a ſmall Ad- 
umbration; admoniſhing them to be. watchful, and 


to be always in a Readineſs, with Hearts filled with 


Grace. All which he enforces with the pathetic Pa- 


rable of the Ten Virgins. See Malt. xxiv. and xxv. 


To this Parable Chriſt adds another, to enforce the 


Duties of Diligence and Watchfalneſs, namely, ot 
the Talents entruſted with the faithful and ſlothful 


Servants. Then for the Encouragement of the Di- 
ligent and Terror of the Slothful, he deſcribes the 
Manner of his Coming to Judgment, and his glori- 
ous and majeſtic Appearance at the Laſt Day. Then 


will he, as King and Judge, reward every Man c- 
cording te his Works of Piety and Charity per- 
formed in this Life. But for the Slothful and Un- 


faithful, he ſhould pronounce them accurſed, aud 
adjudge them to thoſe eternal Woes which were pres 


2 the Devil and his Angels. See the whole

The Fews had hitherto been fruſtrated in all their 
Attempts, to take Jeſus in a formal Courſe of Law. 
becauſe he was in high Eſteem of the People. How. 
ever, vey rar to leave no Means untried to get 
him; into their Power, they call a great Council, to 
conſult how to enſnare him. Whilſt they were in 
deep Debate upon this wicked Scheme, Juda, one 
of the Twelve, goes privately to them, and offers, for

cil, glad of the nity, readily agree to give 
him thirty N | Silver, which, 10 our Money, 
amounts to gl. 15s. The Bargain thus made; 
Judas retires, to wait an Opportunity of taking him 
privately, when the People ſhould not be aware. 

The next Day was the Day of unleavened Bread, 
on which it was uſual to kill the Paſſover. For which 
Purpoſe Jeſus ſent Peter and Jobn to the City to a cer-

fixed it in the Ground, intending he ſhould ſuffer a

might be attended with as much Ignominy as poſſible,

of many pious Men, which had been dead, aroſe

The Spectators were ſo ſtruck with Amazement at

But none was ſo deeply affected as the Centurion, or 
Captain of the Roman Guard, that attended the Ex- 
ecution; for, by immediate Conviction from what he 
ſaw, he affirms him to be the Son of God. 

The Day of our Saviour's Crucifixion being the 
Preparation or Eve to the Paſchal Feſtival, which 
fell on the 7ewiſß Sabbath, and fo a Feaſt and a Sab- 
bath together, the Fewws, that the dead Bodies might 
not hang on the Croſs till the Day following, haſtened 

to take them Cown ;, and ſent to Pilate to order their 
Legs to be broken, that they might be taken away 
and buried. Accordingly the Soldiers broke the Legs 
of the two Thieves, but ſeeing that Jeſus was already 
dead, they did not break his Legs, tor a Scripture 
had foretold that a Bone of him ſhould not be broken;

Diſciples, went boldly to Pilate,” and begged the 
Body of Jeſus. Pilale, hardly believing he was fo 
ſoon dead, aſks the Centurion whether he was ſo or 
not? Who affuring he himſelf ſaw him expire, Pilate 

gave orders for his Body to be delivered to Foſepb 

who inſtantly prepares to embalm it according to the 
Jewiſh Manner of Sepulture, ſparing no Coſt for 
Perfumes and Unguents for that Purpoſe: To which WW 
Charge Nicodemus, another latent Diſciple of Chriſt, | | 
was' a conſiderable Contributor ; for he brought an 1 
hundred pound Weight of Myrrh and Aloes for the ſame 
Purpoſe. Having wound up the Body in theſe Ma- 
terials, Joſeph depoſits the Corps of his Lord in his 
own new Tomb, which he had prepared for his own 
Interment. 2 e e 
The Body of the bleſſed Jeſus being thus decently 
interred, the Chief Prieſts and Phariſees come to 
Pilate in the Evening, and addreſs him in this Man- 
ner. Sir, we remember that that Deceiver ſaid, while 
he was yet alive, after three Days I will riſe again.

after three Days he would rife again, yet that his 

' Abſence from them might be the leſs afflicting, be 

ſhortens the Time, yet ſo as to verify his own Pre- 
diction, for he roſe early in the Morning of the firſt 
Day of the Week. Very early the ſame Morning, 
Mary Magdalen, and Mary the Mother of James and 
Salome, came to the Sepulchre with Spices, that they 
might again embalm the holy Body. As they paſſed 
along they perceived there had been a great Concuſ- 
ion of the Earth; and coming nearer the Sepulchre, 
they began to conſider how they ſhould get the great 
Stone at the Entrance removed: But on their nearer 
Approach, they perceived the Stone was rolled away, 
and an Angel fitting on it, of ſo divine an Aſpect, 

| and ſplendid Appearance, that they were ſtruck with 

ql Terror. But the Angel, knowing their Errand, 

. bids them not be afraid; for the Lord was riſen, and 
gone before them into Galilee, where he appointed his 
Diſciples to meet him. And to confirm the Truth 
of this, he ſhews them the empty Grave where Jeſus 
was laid, and the Linen in which his Body was wrap- 
ped. Theſe happy Women, who were honoured 
with the firſt News of our Saviour's Reſurrection, 

11 tranſported. with Fear and Joy, haſten to acquaint 

9 his Diſciples with what they had ſeen and heard.

they ſaw at the Sepulchre, that they were ready ta 

die with Fear and Aſtoniſhment. 8 
The Women coming to the Apoſtles, and acquaint- 

ing them with what they had ſeen and heard at the 

Sepulchre, were ſo far from gaining Credit, that 

the Apoſtles looked upon all they ſaid as idle Tales. 

Ar laſt, Peter and Jobn, reſolving to ſee whether 
Things were as the Women repreſented, haſten to 

the Sepulchre, and looking into it, and not finding 
it there, returned Home. © RN

By this Time Mary Magdalen was come back, and 
being ſtill anxioufly 8 for the Body of Jeſus,” 
ſtood weeping without at the Sepulchre, where ſtoop- 


ing down to look into it, ſhe ſaw two Angels in white, 
fitting one at the Head, and the other at the Foot of 


the Grave. They aſked her the Cauſe of her Grief; 
ſhe told them it was for the Loſs of her Lord's Body. 


At that Inſtant, Jeſus came and ftood behind her, 


and aſking her the fame Queſtion, ſhe, ſuppoſing: 
him to be the Gardener, fays, Sir, if you Bade removed 
him, tell me where 2 have laid him, and 1 will take 
him away. Jeſus, to put her out of Doubt, calls her 
by her Name. She knew the charming Voice, and 
with an Exſtacy of Joy and Wonder, was ready to 
cruſh his Feet with her eager Embraces; but he 
commanded her not to touch him, becauſe he was 


not yet aſcended to his Father. Mary tells theſe 


Fhings to the eleven Apoſtles, but they gave no 


Credit to what ſhe ſaid, See Joes xx. 5, Cc. Ae 


| xxvili. 5 Sc. 


Mean. while the Guarks, who were 2 Polt do - 


watch the Sepulchre, being recovered from their 
Fright, return to the City, and give an Account to the 
Chief Prieſts of all that was done; Who, thereupon, 


in great Fear and Haſte aſſemble the Sanbedrim; and 
to make their Iniquity ſafe and unqueſtionable, decree | 


xlarge Sum of Money to be given to the Soldiers, to- 


bribe them to ſay, That hi Diſciples came by NI of | 


and ſtole bim away whilſt we Sept. And if the 


vernor ſhould happen to hear of it, they would re | 
them from his Diſpleaſure. Accordingly theſe er- 


cenary Wretches take the Money, and do as they 


were bid; and the Jews believed this Story to be true. 


Towards the Decline of the Day of his Reſurrec- 


tion, two of his Diſciples going towards Emmanus,. 
and diſcourſing of the late Occurrences, Jeſus puts

While Peter y Was. thus, inftrottiog the People, 'the- Fo 


Captain of the Temple, at the Inſtigation of the 
Sadducees, came with an armed Force, ſeized the two 
Apoſtles, and led them to Priſon; from whence, next 


Morning, they were brought before the Council, and 


examined in relation to the Miracle, and by What 
Power they had performed it. Peter replied, that 
it was wrought by no other Means, than invoking 


the Name of Jeſus of , Nazareth, whom. they bad 55 


| crucified, and God had miraculouſly. raiſed again. 

The Council, ſeeing the Courage and Freedom of 
Speech with which the Apoſtles behaved, and con- 
ſidering that they were Men of no Learning or 


Education, they were amazed at it; and ſeeing the 


Man, on whom the Cure had been wrought ſtanding 


before them, they had nothing to object. Therefore, | 
in a private Conſultation among themſelyves, in or- 


der to prevent the Peoples being farther ſeduced hy 
this Doctrine, it was reſolved ſtrictly to forbid. ni 
_ preaching any more in this Name, and accordingly. 
commanded the Apoſtles to teach no more concerning 
the Faith of Chriſt. But theſe Chriſtian Heroes, te-

they had their Commiſſion from God, and appealed 
to them. whether they ought not to obey God rather 


than Man; that they ſhould . perſiſt ; in doing their 
eclare thoſe important Truths 
they had received from Chriſt. The Court, not 


Duty, and openly 


being able to refute theſe Arguments, added more

A Nas A bee 
The two Apoſtles being returned to their Com- 
_ panions, they unanimouſly join in gloritying God, 
who, by his holy Prophet David had foretold whar' 
| was now come to paſs, in Relation to the Treatment 
, Chriſt had met with from the ws; and pray, that 
God would enable them powetrfuNy'to "preach the 
Goſpel, and to work Cures on all thoſe on whom 
they ſhould invoke the Name of the Holy eſis. - 
Upon which a like Wind as before ſhook the Place 
where they were, and ſpecial Gifts of the Holy Spi- 
rit fell upon thoſe that were preſent; the Conſequence 
of which was a Confirmatioh of their Faith, a Reſo- 
Jution to publiſh the Goſpel, and a happy Union and 
Chriſtian Benevolence among themſelves, having and 
enjoying all Things in common. And that there 
might be a competent Proviſion for all, the Rich ſold 
their Eſtates and Previſions, and gave the Price of 
them to the Apoſtles, who diſtributed to every one 
as his Neceſſities required. Among theſe kind Con- 
tributors was Joſes, firnamed Barnabas, who fold. 
a Piece of Land, and brought the whole Price of it 
to the Apoſtles, to diſpoſe of as they ſhould fee 
convenient. „ CERT TOE WT OI 
All however were not ſincere in theſe Acts of 
Piety; for the unhappy Ananias and Sapphira, who, 
with joint Conſent had devoted all they had to the 
Service. of the Church, and for that Purpoſe had 
ſold their Eſtate ; yet, had privately combined to 
keep ſome Part of the Money for themſelves. Ana- 
nias coming in firſt, with great Aſſurance, preſents 
the Money to the Apoſtles. But Peter, who by 
immediate Inſpiration ſaw the Cheat, in a holy In- 
dignation and Abhorrence of ſo vile à Sacrilege, 
ſeverely reproves him for his impious Attempt to 
deceive the Holy Ghoſt, in purloining Part of that 
which had been dedicated to God's Service. Anantas, 
hearing this, was ſo ſtruck with the Horror of his 
Guilt, that he inſtantly fell down dead. His —

re, the | them that, con- 
trary to their Commands, and in Contempt of their 
Authority, they had preached the Doctrine of Chriſt, 
and endeavoured to lay his Blood to their Charge, 
The Apoſtles, in their Defence, made the fame 
Anſwer as — 5 adding ſome ſevere Reproaches for 
their having killed the Lord of Life and Glory. This 
free Cenſure ſo enraged the Council, that they reſolved 
by a ſpeedy Sentence to ſilence them, and conſult how 
to put them to Death. Gamaliel, an eminent Doctor 
of the Law, endeavoured to divert them from their ma- 
licious Deſign, in a plauſible Speech which he made 
to them on that Occaſion; which See A, v. 33-40, 
by which the hot-headed Sanbedrim were alittle cooled, 
and ſubmitted to his Advice. However, that the 
Apoſtles might not eſcape unpuniſhed, they ordered 
them to be ſcourged, and charging them not to 
preach the Faith of Chriſt any more, releaſed them. 
But this Puniſhment the Apoſtles took as an Honour 
done them, in being thought worthy to ſuffer Shame 
for the Name of Jeſus. After this, they aſfiduouſly 
preached the Goſpel, either in the Temple or from

&c, Alis viii. 32, Sc. which he defired Pa to

coming to a Pool of Water, preſſes him to perform 
that Office; which Pbilip readily agreed to, provided

him; and as they came out of the Water, the Spi- 
rit of God took away Philip,. and the other returned

Saul ſtill perſecates the Church of Chriſt " with 
greater Fury than ever; and having obtained a Com- 
miſſion from the Sanbedrim, poſts down to Damaſcus | 
with the ſame bloody Intent. But on the Road, a 
bright ſhining Cloud encompaſſed him, which ſtruck | 
him with great Terror, ſo that he fell flat on the 
Ground; a Clap of Thunder followed, in which he 
heard a 8 ſaying, Saul, Saul, why perſecuteft, 
thou me ? Upon which he aſks, Who art thou, Lord? 
And is. ede I am Feſus, whom thou perſecuteſt ; 
it is in vain for thee to reſiſt the Decrees, of Provi-

Attendants were ſtruck dumb with Fear and Amaze- 
ment, and led him to the City, where he continued

Being come to Jeroen, hey were kindly receiv-"

to their preaching among the Gentiles, they in- 
formed them of their Meſſage, how that ſome ju- 
daizing Chriſtians, of the ſect of the Phariſees, ſaid, 
that ſuch of the Gentiles as were converted to the 
Faith of Chrift, muſt receive Circumciſion. 
. Hereupon they met in Council to deliberate upon 
this Queſtion: When Peter, who firſt preached the 
Goſpel to the Gentiles told them, that the Caſe was 
already decided in that of Cornelius and his Family, 
whoſe Converſion, God declared his Acceptance of, 
by beſtowing on them the Gift of the Holy Ghoſt, 
making no Difference between Jet and Gentile. Then 
James, Biſhop of Jeruſalem, and Preſident of the 
Council, ſtood up, and in Support of Peter's Opi- 
nion declared, that they ought not to compel the 
Gentile Converts to be circumeiſed; but only that 
they ſnould abſtain from Meats offered to Idols, from 
Blood, from Things ſtrangled, and from Fornica- 
tion. This Deciſion was agreeable to the whole 
Council, and being put into the Form of à Decree, 
they choſe Judas, ſirnamed Barſabas, and Silas, Men 
of Eminence among the Brethren, to accompany 
Barnabas and Paul, in their Return with it to the 
_ Gentile Proſelites at Antioch. Where being arrived, 
they called the Church together, and delivered the 
decretal Epiſtle; which being read, gave the utmoſt 
Satisfaction. And Judas and Silas, being endued 
with a prophetic Spirit, exhorted and confirmed the 
Believers in the Faith, and: then took their Leave. 
Silas, however, ſtaid ſomewhat longer; and Paul 
and Barnabas continued at Antioch, performing the 
Functions of their Miniſtrr. 
A few Days after, Paul deſired Barnabas to ac- 
company him in viſiting the Churches they had 
planted. Barnabas conſented, and propoſed to take

before the Magiſtrates, complaining, that theſe Fews 
cauſed great Diſturbances, teaching a Religion for- 
6 bidden by the Romans. Upon this a great Tumult 
enſued; and the Magiſtrates ordered them to be 
ſcourged, firſt rending off their Cloaths, and then 
ſent them to Priſon, charging the Jailor to keep 
them ſafe, Who accordingly faſtened their Feet in 
the Stocks. But notwithſtanding this cruel Treat- 
ment, theſe bleſſed Confeſſors ſpent the Midnight 
Hours in Prayers and Praiſes to God. At the ſame 
Time the Earth trembled, the Foundation of the 
Priſon ſhook, the Priſon- doors flew open, and every 
Priſoner's Chains dropt off. The Jailor waking with 
the Fright, and ſeeing the Priſon-doors open, con- 
cludes that all the Priſoners had eſcaped; upon which; 
in Deſpair, he drew his Sword, with an Intent to 
Kill himſelf: Which Paul happily prevents, by tell- 
ing him his Priſoners were all ſecure. And calling 
for a Light, came trembling in; and proſtrating 
himſelf before them, ſaid, Sirs, what muſt I do to bt

they baptized him and all his Family. Then apply-

| Jailor to diſcharge theſe Priſoners. The Jailor ac- 
cordingly tells them, they were at Liberty to go 
where they pleaſed, and fo wiſhed them well. But 
Paul ſtands upon his Privilege, and inſiſts, That as 
they had beaten them openly uncondemned, being Ro- 
mans, they ſhould come themſelves and fetch them out.

which they went to [Zydia's Houſe, and, having con- 
firmed the Chriſtians, they left Philippi, Acts xvi. 
After they had paſſed through Ampbypolis and 

allonia,. they came to Theſſalonica, another Metro- 
polis of Macedonia, where there was a Synagogue of 


the Jeus; in which Paul, for three Sabbath-days 
ſucceſſively preached, and by the Scriptures proved, 


that Chriſt was the Meſias protniſed to the 'Fewws: 
And ſome of them believed, and aſſociated with 


Paul and Silas, beſides ſeveral Greet Proſelites, and 


Women of Quality. But the Infidel Jews, having 


got together ſome inferior Officers of the Court of 
Juſtice, tumultuouſly beſet Jaſon's Houſe, where 
ſearching for Paul and Silas, and not finding them, 
ſeize Jaſon, and ſome of the Brethren, and carry 


them before the Magiſtrates; accuſing them of 
filling the World with Diſorder and Confuſion, and 
that Jaſon had entertained them; all contrary to 
Ceſar's Authority, and declaring one Jeſus to be 
their King. The Magiſtrates were fearful of diſ- 
obliging either Jews or Romans ; and therefore taking 
Security of Jaſon and his Companions, they diſmiſſed 


them; but ſent Paul and Silas by Night to Beræa; 


where going into the Synagogue, they met with an in- 
genuous Sort of People, who chearfully embraced 
the Faith, and ſearched the Scriptures, to fee he- 


ther what Paul taught was agreeable to what was 


therein ſaid of the Meaſias. Now when the Fews 


of Theſſalonica knew that Paul, preached the Goſpel 


at Beræa, they purſued him thither, reſolving he 
ſhould not reſt within Reach of them. The Bre- 
thren therefore ſent Paul towards the Sea-ſide, as if 
he meant to take Ship, whereas he intended to go to 


_ Athens a foot, but left Timothy and Silas behind, or- 


dering them to follow ſoon, 


Whilſt Paul waited for his Company at Athens, ;

he went to the Houſe of Juſtus, a Fewiſh Pro "a 
But tho Paul was thus © oppoſed by the Fews, yet 
Criſpus, the chief of the Synagogue, and ſeveral of 
the Corinthians, believed, and were baptized. And: 
Paul was encouraged, by a Viſion, to proceed boldly: 
in his Work, and aſſured that no Man ſhould hurt: 
him, for chere were many in that City who would 
receive the Goſpel. Paul e continued among 
them eighteen Months. * . 
During Paul's Stay at Coriby Galli being pro- 
conſul of Acbaia, the Jews made a general Inſur- 
rection againſt Paul, and brought him before the 
Proconſul, accuſing him of perſuading the People to 
worſhip God contrary to the Law of the Jer. 
Paul being about to make his Defence, was pre- 
vented: by Gallio, who told the: Jes, that if this 
had been a Matter of Injuſtice or Wickedneſs, he 
would have taken Cognizance of it, but as it was a 
verbal Controverſy about their own Laws, he would 
have nothing to do with it; and ſo drove them out 
of Court. The Greeks, - ſeeing this, took Seſtbenes, 
one of; the Rulers of the Synagogue, and bear him 
in open Court, without any Contradiction from the. 
Proconſul. 
Some Time after this, Paul, having taken Leaye” 
of the Brethren, left Corinih, and took with, him 
Priſcilla, and her Huſband Aquila (who having a

p And Feftus had talked the Matter over betweert 
themſelves, they owned chat the Accuſation againſt 
him was nor puniſhable, either by Death or Impriſon- 
ment; and therefore, had he not appealed to Gzfer, 
he might have been diſcharged. See Alis xxvi.xũůõ 
And now Opportunity ſerving, Feſtus ſends Paul 
and other Priſoners to Rome, under a Guard com 
manded by one Julius, in a Ship belonging to Adri- 
mytium, a Sea - Port of Myſia; and taking Ariſtarubut 
of Theſalonica-with them, the next Day they touched 
a4tꝗf Sidon, where Julius, who treated Paul very re- 
ipectfully, gave him Leave to go a- ſhore and refreſſi 
' -  - ; himſelf; Sailing from thence they came under Cyprosy, 
iN from thence they paſſed the Seas of Cilicia and Pam 
| phylia, and came to Mira, a City of Lycig. 
Here Julius finding a Ship of ' Alexandria bound fur 
 Ftaly, took hisCharge on board her, and with much 
ado, made Cnidus a City of Crete, from whence after 
many Days ſailing, they arrived at the Fair Havens, 
near Laſea; where Paul adviſed” Julius to wait fot 
; more ſeaſonable Weather, telling him, that if they 
| © * purſued their Voyage, they would not only hazard the 
1 Ship and Goods, but alſo: their Lives; yet Talus 
Conjiding in the Maſter of the Ship's Judgment, theß

put to Sea, intending; to reach Phenice, a Harbour of 

Crete, and there to winter; and the ſouth Wind blows 
ing gently, they queſtioned not but they ſhould gain 
their Point. But were ſoon miſtaken ; for the Wind 
ſuddenly tacking about, blew ſo hard at North-Eaft, 
that they were forced to drive before the Wind. And 
running under an Iſland called Clauda, they had hke 
to have loſt their Boat, but at length got it into the

the Laws and Getemonies of Mofas, particularly to 
Circumcifion. But not being able to decide this 
Point among themſelves, it was agreed that Paul and 


Barnabas ſhould: go go to Feruſalem, and take tlie 


Opinion of the Apoſtles and Elders upon Ac n 


their Arrival there a Council was ſummoned, in 
vhich the Queſtion was freely debated, and in which 
St. Peter bore a conſiderable Part. But as we Ks.

ſult of it, in the Life of St. Faul, it u ache to be 
moge particular here. 


Not long after St. Paubs Anl. at Lufee vic 1

with them, and living as they did; and not as tlie | 
Jews,\ who obſerved che Diſtinction of Meats pre- 


ſoribed by the Law. But when certain Terw7þ 


| Chriſtians of Feruſalem, who were tenacious of the 
Ceremonial Law, came down to Antioch; Peter, for * 
Fear of offending them, began'to withdraw and ſepd- ; 
rate himſelf from the Gentiles, refuſing to eat or holt 
Communion with them. This Behaviour of ſo great 


an Apoſtle, confirmed the Jews in the ſuperſtitious 
Obſer vation of che Law, and perplexed the Gentiles 
with new Doubts; So that what was ſo lately ſettled, 


was in Danger of being quite deſtroyed For even 
Barnabas himſelf, as Well as the other Jews, were 
carried away with his Diſſimulation, and followed ;

And ſo ſenſible were ſome of the firſt Ages of the - 
Church, of the Blemiſh which this left upon Peter's” 
Character, thatthey ſhift it from himby finding another 
Cephas, one of the ſeventy Diſciples, with whom they 
ſay, and not with the Apoſtle, that St. Paul had 
this Diſpute. But St. Jerome, in his Comment on

are ſaid to have been executed among others, and 
both to have been firſt ſcourged. This we may be 
ſure of, becauſe our Saviour foretold it, , 39 
Peter ſuffered Martyrdom by_Crucifixion.: And that 
he ſuffered at Rome, has been conſtantly; affirmed by 


all Antiquity. 


It is reported of him, that when he 


came to the Croſs, he requeſted of the Officers, that 
he might be crucified with his Head downwards; 


givin 


this Reaſon for it, that he was not worthy. 


to ſuffer in the ſame Poffore. as his Lord did before 


him: 


This Requeſt, which was an eminent Token

Se. Peicr and St, Par falfered Martyrdom both on

His Body is ſai 


to have been embalmed by Marcellinus the Preſbyter, 
after the Jewiſh Manner, and buried in the Vatican, 


near the Triumphal Way. 


A {mall Church was ſoon

St. Andrew was born at Bethſaida, a City of G. 
lee, ſituate upon the Banks of Genneſaretb. He 
was the Son of Jonas, or John, a Fiſher- man of that 
Town, and Brother to Simon Peter; but whether 
elder or younger we are not informed. 

To paſs over what is mentioned of him in the 
Scripture, we ſhall only obſerve, that what it ſays of 
him in Conjunction with the reft of the Apoſtles, 
doth no otherwiſe concern him, than that it ſhews he 
continued in their Communion, had the ſame Con-

Fear extraordinary Honours were paid to Serapbis. 
The Egyptians, in Zeal for this Idol, ſeized St. Mark 
as he was officiating in his Chriſtian Church, tyed 
his Feet with Cords, and dragged him about the 
Streets and Rocks, till, the Skin and Fleſh being
