God reveal the certainty of his counfel a hundred and twenty

contiBuall rain of fourty dayes ,a«d the fouttiains of the great deep,
being broken, had caufccl j fo that the fiigh Hills that were under

to be the builder of ic, whence he fccmeth to be he, who in the Di-
vine Records is called Ntmrodi to him, having reigned ^5 years,
lucceedcd Ninusj of whom was built Nineveh^ and thichcr was
the Throne of the Kingdom tranlporicd, which afterwards re-
ceived its name frotn the Afsjriahs. Beyond hitu the prophane
Htftorics do not mention any one 5 And he is faid the firrt to have
waged Warrs againli other Nations, out of the lull and defire he
had to inlargcand extend his Empire, having brought Jfia into
his own fubjc-ijlion, he at length overcame the Bdirians^j a.nd their
King ZorO:ijhes ; Thence having taken Semiramis for his Wife,and
by htr having begotten his fon Niniai hedycth fifty two ycats af-
ter he Fwd began his reign.
Semiramit having put out of the Kingdom this young fon, (he
taketh by art and cunning the Kingdom to her felf, the which (he
obtained founy two years. The Greek Chronicles do aflcrt,Thac
Bahytoa was built by her, but it may rather be faid, that Bahjhn
was aniplified and enlarged by her, and environed by a moft ad-
mirable wall, vyho.'e circuit was of four hundredand eighty fur-
longs; and the faid Annals record farther, That (heentred into
AjiAi CMedtA, Perfiay n/fgypfj LihyA) and Ethiopia, and fubdued
them, and that (lie after that cntred with her Army into ladiayZnd
fpoyled and ruinated ir. At length this hfcivious woman pro-
voking her fon to inceft, is by him killed in the 42. year of her
reign ^ and in the 24th year of Semiramis reign was Abraham born,
and not as i^febiw (alfly hath pcrfwaded himfelf.
JV/ij/Whavingkilled his Mother, with much (loath and idie-
nede held that Kingdom, which had been exceedingly amplified
and inlargcd by his Anccftors, and governing all things by Gover-
nors and D( putics,and feldcm appearing ; he paffed the reft of his
life in the company of Harlots, and was fct in the lift of the cffoe-
minates ^ which life the Kings that followed him embracing,were
fcately known to pofterity by their name^ or remarkable in any
thing, being reckoned in Eufehiui% Chronicles three hundred and
three j Ajricanus numbreth four more in their rank,and lengthen-
eth that intervall of the whole Empire more then reafonably he
fhould J which (as I have already demonftrated) is limited in
1300 years.
li) the lame time that the Kingdom of the Afsjriam had its be-
ginning, there were aUo other Kingdoms eftablifhed in other pla-
ces; cfpccially the Kingdoms of %\\e %SgjftianSi and Sicyonians,
but the licence of fables hath corrupted and perverted their be-
ginning and original : The Sicjohiam Kingdom was erected in
Sicyo almort twelve years after that of the v^ftyriansj and 216/^
years before Chrills Nativity, and continued near upon a thou-
land years.

Ship rowed with 50 Oars , where Sthenelus being dead, and Ce.

In the raign of Acrifius^ as I fuppofc, was Perfeus born of his

A Lmoft fifty years after the Children of Jfrael went forth

to have reigned the firft in rrtfjf, who was the Son oi Scamander

that in the City Cwitus in Tufcia^ though fome do not confcnt that
they draw their Originall owxoiltdyy but out of Arcadia j there-

Troji before 7f«w, and that this man came from Crete. Teucer
being dead, Dardanus built a City of his name in Mount Ida^ near
the Sea, and called the people Z>4rfl^«*iW/y, after his name: his

houfcs, thirteen years. Although it may be, thac he built the
Temple o( the Lord, and thofe Palaces at the fame time, and fo,
that not in the a4(h year of his Kingdom, but in the nxtcenth all
the building was brought to an end.
(i) In the mean while he far excelling all mortal men in riches
and wifdom, when as he was rewarded with honour by the gifts
and fecviccs both ot Kings and people, and the bounds ot his king-
dome being farther enlarged, he enjoyed peace tnd re(\ i at Uft
he bare not the greatnefsof proTperout afifairs. For age now decli-
ning, he being taken by the enticements of Wives and Concu-
bines, (both ot which he had gathered to the number of a ihou-
fand; he is drawn away unto forbidden and wicked fupetflitions.
Neither is it hitherto certain, whether he repented before his
death, whereby a doubtful coDJedure is left to podcrity of his
falvation.
Reboboam overthrowcth the Xingdom,irodden under foot by his
fathers vice, (c) For this King being intreatcd by the people,thac it
might be done a little milder coward them, then had been done by
his father, exerciferh dominion, the counfei of the old men being
rcje^ed, who thought fomeching muft be granted to cheir jult
complaints, he anrwereth them proudly and roughly after the
opinion of tiis equals. Whidi thing faheighteflcd iheir minds,
that ten Tribes being wholly rent from P4t;i^'s family, they ap-
pointed cheD)fclves a new King, Jirohoam the fon oi Nekat, an
Spbramitf, onely the two Tribes of Jiteish and Benjamin^ being the
numbers left for Rfbohsm, By ihat,was the JewiHi name cleft
into two kingdoms ^ whereof one was called t.he kingdom of Ju-
dahi the other of ///vtr/j but this latter alfowas wont to be called
the kingdom oiEfhraim, from its builder Jfroioam,and of Samsna^
afterward the feat of the kingdom was tranfporced into that Town,
which hitherto had been placed in the City of Siebem, (a) whicfi
Jfrolotm built in Mount Epliraim j for the (\rengthof citlier king-
dome was in Jcrufalem. One and twenty Succcflours of David
held the kingdom in the Tribe ofjudah j of //Vj^/, eighteen. The
former ruled after the death of Salomon about 387 years, the latter
almod 254.
That I may return to both thofe Kings, True piety towards Cod
remained with neither. Yet the Ifraelite foontr failcdi (I) who as
foon as he was made King, fearing led if his Subje^s fhould go
together to Jcrufalem unto the folcmn Feafts appointed, by little
and little a wcarintfs of their divorce fhould take them, he for-
bade them to go any more thither for the fake of boly things:
and, that they might have that with them which they might
worfhip, he rais'd up the golden likenefTes of Calves, efpe-
cially in Bethel, zni D*n: to the which he alfo appointed fa-
cfincing Priciii, and profane woilliippings oi god like the true.

when his iiand, wherewith he bcckcncd that he riiouid be laktn,
had Jrycd up, he being affriglitcd with this wcHidtr , and being
turned to intrcatics, obtained favour of his punil'nrncnt. The
Prophet rcturniny thither from whence he came, he is uivited hy
another Prophet to hishoufe, and chire taking care of his body,
contrary than was commanded him of God ; Itraightway as loon
as he departed, he is llain by a Lion, the Afic : whereby he was
carried, being left fafe.
(A)T(^ho6oam being touched wlih the fame fupcrftition of gods, he
alio drew his Subjcds into dellruaion. Therefore he placed Al-
tars and Temples here nnd there, and dedicated {:roves in profane
places to gods. Hence God being angry,rent Sefacus King oiE^ypt
ajgainft them, whom Jofephus thinkcth to be (h) Srfo^rif, who
coining to Jerufalem in the (c) fifth year of Rehoham, the irea-
furcs, and all the prcfenis being taken away, he departed.
(d) Under j4i>iam the king,thc fon of Rehoi>oam; Jerohdm received
a great flaughier. This king drew out eight hundred tl.oufand
into an Army. Againftwhom Miam ^oing with four hundred
ihoufand, and being nigh bcfieged, hebeggingthehelpof his fa-
ther's God,obtained a famous viaory, five hundred ihcufand of
his enemies being flain; The which by reafon of the llraits of
both kingdomes, may fcarce have credit, if it were related by
any other witncfTc then God. Neither yet could he by fo great a
blcffing, be affrighted from imitating his fathers impiety.
(0 The beginnningsof^/d were molt laudable. For he took
away the Altars and Idolls, and the fteps of his fathers fupcrftiti-
on, onely the high places being left. Thcfe Altars were indeed
for the worfhipof the true God, but here and there creaed, and
clfcwherc, than in the chief City, againftthe injunftionof ;iio-
fes. if) He reigning, Z^r/jfckingof the ^^thioftans breaking in
with ten hundred thoufand fouldiers,and three hundred Chariotsj
Godf^rvingtheiumatthc godly prayers of the king, he was
vancjuuhed withanunivcrfaliaaughtcr. (g) Mtcrwards Baafhah

V\ hich the iicripiurc roaketh mention to be done in ihcC4)year 3 6,
towir, from that time wherein both kingdomes were rent afun-
der. But when he was reproved by Hanan the Prophet, for that
he had palTed over his hope from God unto humane defences, he
taking that grievoufly, commanded the admoniaicr to be led
away into cuftody.- Neither afterwards ftood he in his duty.
Therefore being afHided for three years fpace with pains of his
fccr, the help of God being defpifed, he being diligently bent on
the art onely of Phyfitians, hcpcrifhcd in the 41. year of his
kidgdomc. {b) His buriall was celebrated with ambitious

that they (bould change nothing of his Lawes before he n turned.
So he going into Greet, remained there even untill his dt ath. (a)

THcrc is made frequent mention in facred books , of the Jf-
fjfiaft Kings; even after that time, wherein Sardanapalus being
de^d,ichmanitcUthat Empire, firfl begun by Belus or Ninus,
had an ehd. For it is agreed amongft all, that that happened in
that year, wherein the foundations of the royall government of
the {Jl^edes were laid, the which indeed we have (hewn above in
the 4th chapter, to have happened an hundred years before the
firfl Olympiade, that is, three hundred and feventeen years before
the beginning of Cyrtf J. But long after that time, otficr Princes
of the «///jyi<wij are reckoned up. So %/izariab reigning after
his nine and thirtieth year; Phul King of the ^jjjriaas is faid
to have (b) vexed the Jfraelites, Which year is numbred fcven
hundred fcventy one years before Chrifl, and is the hunireth and
fixth year from the death of 54r^tf;74/>tftof, and the deftrudlion of
7{tneveh.
That I may not flay thee longer; I think that after that old
Empire of the J/yrians put our, or pafTed over to the iMedes, the
c;^<r</^f waxing old by little and little, and their flrength being
weakncd through (loath and calmncfle, fome fell off from them :
firft the jijsyrians^ and then the Babylonians. For becaufe the
MedesYQ^t not tfje fame courfe of fortune from Arhacesto Deioceiy
from that, it is very likely, that Herodotus faith, the U^fedes in
chat mean fpace were free, and to have lived without a King.
Wherefore Nineveh being overthrown, and the former Afiyrian
Kings being taken a way, there were afterwards new Kings, who
rcffored that City, and bate a large rule, untill they were
overcome i» war by the Babylonian Kings. The names
of thefc , and what Kings were reigning in Judea , which
indeed are mentioned in Scripture, I will writedown.

hearken, he (hall be thruft in between Salmanafsar and Sennacbf-
rib, and is to have been thought either the Father, or furcly the
brother of this. Becaufc (d) Salmanafsar being dead, Sennacherib
his fon is faid to have reigned in his Head. Therefore none fee-
ractn to be placed between them both. But thofe things which
wc havca little before call in by the way, concerning tiie begin-
ning of the Kingdome of 54^ii9» 5 they are fuppo^tcd by the wit-
iicflcof P/o/o'»<7,and old Allronomcrs, who do reckon their titnes
from the beginning of -A7rfAo;»4/Mr king of Babylon, which begin-
hiiSggoeth before the reckoning of Chrift, (0)747. years. From
hence the old kingdome of the C^aldeam feerocth to have begun.
In holy Books, the firft mention of the Babylonian kings is under
the reign o( Hezekiah, about his fourteenth year, in which Mero-
doth the fon of Batidan king of the Babylonians j is faid to have
fcnt AmbaiTidours to Hezekiah, that he might ask him conccr-
ning the wonder, which had happened in the land j ^s alfo be-
caufe he had learned that he was fick. The fourteenth year of
i/i-irit/Wj, from thcfc things which have been above explained,
runneth into the year before Chrift, 714. which is the thirty
fourth from the beginning of Nabonafsar. There is an old rule or
Canon of the Baiylooian kings, which Ptolemy and other Mathema-
ticians have ufcd, which ii lengthened from Nabonafsar unto the
death of Alexander the Greit, Moreover in that Canon, Mardox*

is to be made hereafter. ..,..,. t j i .u^
After mhaafsar, whom we tip,htly think the Founder ot the
Bahlonian Empire, many, but obfcure ones, are numbred even to
NaUpolafsar in the Mathematicians Canon, of the which wc hav<j
made mention above. NMpoIofiar increafed by weapons the Ba-
h)lo»iankingdom, the which he had received little. For (a) Bfto.
/ij, an equal Writer of the Chaldaick Annals, and ot the times
of ^/fxji^fr the Great, hath delivered, That Ndopolafsar, the
Father of Nebuchadnez.r.ar, bearing rule over Egypt, CtUfyrU, and
'Thaemciay a Lievienani, was chicfovcr them : who when he fell
off, iV^sWtf/'ytfr being now of great age, fenthis fon Nebuchnd.
mzzar againft him with an Army ; who, his ftubborn enemies
being overcome, and his command recovered, when as between
theic things NabopoUfsar was by Natures deftiny dead, he fpccdi-
W fled to Babylon, all bis Armies together with the prey being left
with a certain one of his friends, that he might carry thofe things
into Bdylon. NsbopoUfsar reign?d twenty and one years, and
began in the year ofthe Jul. Cir. 4089 of yo/?4fe the King the 17.
Moreover, that former Expedition of Nebuchadnezzar happened
in the third year of Joachim the fon of King Jofiah, or the fourth en-
cringofthc Jul. Cir. 4107* from which the Jews have counted
the beginning of King Nebuchadnezzar-, although Nabopolafsar
was alive two years fpace after this year. Moreover, Nebuchad-
Wirr.sir- being much more famous than his Father, waged very ex-
ceeding great Warrs, and paffed through very many Nations, by
overcoming them ; the which not onely the holy Writings do
wiineffc; bMt 9\{o Mega^henesxn his fourth book of the Indian
affairs, according to (b) Jbfephus , hath wrote concerning this
King, That Hercules was much exceeded by him in valour, and
greainefs of things done. For both that chief City of Africa, and
the greater pare ot i);*!*!, he brought by weapons under the yoke.

deliberated, vwhcther or no, the bridge being broken down, to
which thing the^^tfew^Jperfwaded them, they ftiould deliver
Dariusy and the ftrength of the P^r/J^w to be overthrown, by an
univerfal flaughtcr on the fame. But the opinion of Hi^taus Mi-
lefius prevailed, who perfwadcd, that that (hould not be done for
this reafon, becaufe by the kingdom of 2)4r»»y, their own fafety
and rule was fupportcd. Therefore Datim, a great pprt of hi$

WHcn the florm of the Perfian war was allayed,the Gracians
had their hands full at home. For their two chief Cities
tAthens and Lacedemonia were at contention which of them fhould
have thepreheminence, and with thefe (fome with one, fome with
the other) all the other Cities fided.
(\) The t/fthenians chief care was when they had ordered their
affairs, to re-edify their walls which had been ruined by the Perfi-

(which the Barbarians made their fafcguard and refuge, whilft
they forraged and plundered Grdcia). But it was plain, they op*
pofed it not fo much for any affedion to the publiquc good, as out
of fear and envy, left their rivall City (hould out-top them, but

by the Athenians in a conflidt at Sea, and the next year after were
purfucd by them to iWlr/»/^«, and bcfieged there. At laft, in the
81 Olympiad, (t) the tyEgjftians dcltrting the Athemans, ihcy
were glad to come off upon equad terms : Inarus was executed foi
his revolt, and iSgypt recovered.
In the interim, the ieeds of difcord grew up fo by degrees be.
cwixt the two Cities, chat at laft they fell from words to blows,
by the continual provocation one of another. For the Aiheniau\
were fo taken with their own breeding and generofity, that being
pufi: with pride j the great ones of them behaved ihemfelves not
onely arrogantly, but injurioufly itifultedover their fellows; f«
that many of them fied over to th« LacetlemmianSjAS faith (u) Ths.

when under their Captain Leocrites they had routed the Corintkim

80 Olympiad. And the 8 1 01yaipiad,imder their General r«/L

(x) After ihar, by the means of C)/»««, Che quinquennial or fifth
year Truce was compounded, they turned thcdinc of the Warr
againfi their oM enemies the Perfians. Cymtn with a Navy under
hi$ Command marched for Cjfrtts, and defeated the Barharim
both by Land and Sea, and brought Artaxtrxes to compound for
peace, than which nothing to tnis day redounded more to the
honour of Greece, or to the drfparagement of the Perfians, For
they were glad to accept peace upon chefe conditions, That they
(hould not come within a dayes journey for a well-mounted
horreman,of the Sea-fidc ;and thai they fliould not paife betwixt
the Cyaneans and Chelidtnians in any long or beaked Ships,and that
they lliouldfet free all the Cities of ^Afia Which they held, (y)
This peace was concluded in the fourth year of ttic 82 Olympiad,
as Diodorus reports. The very fame year Cyiww, as he lay at the
Leaguer of Citium, fell (ick and dyed.
(z; After this, the old grudge amongfl the Grecians began to
fefter, and the War broke out anew, not with ftanding that it was
reconciled by that triennial League in the third year of the 83
Olympiad. In this interim the Samians revolted from the Athe-
nians, and were light upon by Pericles, and fbyled and reduced in
the 4th year of the 84 Oly^npiad. Alfo the Corinthians warring

ihe ^y^,tothe^i^ year of the Cif) - Account.
SEvcral Wars were waged at Romfy ftom the beginning of the
Peloponnefian War, to ctie death of Philip, (a ) For they had
to do not onely withthe«/£^«/ and rolfci jbm&Ko with the f^eiahS)
whofc City they beficged and kept at the Leaguer ten years tcge-
ihtr. When it was, that it came firft into ufe to make Tents of
Skins to defend themfclvcs fromthe (harpncffc of the Winter-
Itorms. They began the ficgethc 349, and the City was taken
by C4/w/7/«j the Didator, thfi 358th year of the City Account.
The fame r<iw///w reduced thtlalifct to the Roman Empire, (not
io much by force, as by the opinion he gained amongfl; tnem
by his Hngular Juilice j the 3^0 year from the foundation ot
Rome.
(b) But Rome her felf, that famous Conquerefs,had almoft been
brought to nothing by the Gd//f. Who, when in the 3^5 year
they had befieged cluftum, and the Romans had fent the three Fai^ii
Legates thither, they, (contrary to the Laws of Nations) when
they had once appeared in the front of the Army, forfook Clufium,
and fled to the City.
At the flrft onfct thofe Romans that Hood to it were routed, and
fled to j4lia : and at laft the City was taken, fet on Are, and the
Capitol (into which the flower of the City had betaken them-
(elves) befer, and UHanlius being abfent, had been taken by the
enemy, but for the gagling of certain Geefe at their approach;
which awaked Manlius and the reft, who came together thither,
and forc'd the Galls down a precipice from the Capitol. In this
mean time, Camillusy who was banifhed, and at t/irdea^ was redo-
red home, and while he was abfent, eleded Dictator. He? when
became, rally'd the /fo/w<i« forces, and repell'd the GallSi and
clear'd ihe Coafts of them within eight miles of the City.
Atter this, the Diftator, 0^n»7/«f , perfwaded the Romans from
a phanfie they were very earncft in, ot leaving the mines of Romt^
and invading the VeianSy (but with very much ado) and brought
them to repair the ruines of their own Country. But M.Manlm^
taken with the fplendour of the Capitol, from which he had the
firnamc,Ctf/>/^o//««y, being puff'J up with arrogance, he vis indu-
ced, through his own ambirirn, and the favour he had with the
people, topropofcto himfelf, and go about the means of com-
pairing theSoveraignty to himfelf; but being taken in this pro-
j?a:, was precipitated from the (c) Tarpeian rock, (the very place
he had had in charge to defend) the 370 year after the City was

pofed moft violently, the TyUunti would fi^ffcr no Officers of
State to be created : (cj By which means Rome became an Amrchj

3S7yc''irufihcCityi and the year following, the common peo-
ple tnadc their Hrft Coniui, L. Sextius,

ing or gaping of the Earth in the midftot ihtfo;«w, and the
Oracle commanded, that the beft thing the Rommi had, lliould be
dedicated to it. Whileftall men wondred what this iliou d mean,
M. Curtius, an excellent young Souldicr,and ti^tably valorousall
armed and mounted on horfcbackjcaft himfelt intothejjwscf c le
gaping earth, accounting. That no virtue more became a i?t*/»«»,
than valour and courage, nor was a greater good.
After this,they went to War with the TiburtianSi theTarquinii
andFalifciybm moft hotly the 398 year of the City,> when the
Fjlifciind TarquinUm fighting vvith fire-brands, and calling Ser-
pents in the front, to ttie great ttrrour of the Prief^s, were con-
quered by Fa&imCotofuly and had conditions of peace granted to
ihem both for 40 years, in the 403 year of Rome,
With the Galls alio they had to do more than once. Whilcfl
they ftood in battalia, M. ralerius. Tribune of the hoft, at the age
of 2 3 years, Pichier'd a certain bravado of the enemy, who ftood
challenging and incicing the 'R^wafiS to battle, and Qcw him by
the help of Corvus, in the 40 5 year of the City ; whence he took
the lirname C^rvims ; and the year following, for his fingolar dc^
ferts, was made Conful.
But noneof thefe Wars proved more tedious and virulent, than
the 54w««d«, which the i?owd/Bj took upon them at the nqueft of
the Campa»iy the 4 1 1 year of the City. For they being vanquifh'd
by thQ SamnianSy put themfelves under the ptote^ion of the Ro.
mufisy by a League of fealty, and fo engaged the Romans in that
VVar, (cl) whicu lafted 70, or 7 1 full years,_ although the S,m.

virtue as a lawful Prince much more illuftrious, who being the

wherein i^. Fakius, and P, Dectus Mm, were Confuls, which is the
^j9 ycarot the City-account) and the 3^8«? year of the World.
In which very year being increatcd in ayd into MscedoHtat to
Alexandtv the (on of Cafander^ he requires tiis part of it. Whence
being dcpuls*J by 'Demetrm Poliorcetes for fome years, partly by
himlelf, partly joyning his Forces with Li(/Jw4f/b«j, Ptolemeji and
Seleucus, he made war upon him, and for his reward enjoyed
Mscedonia, indeed, but not above feven moneths. Immediately
after being called to the ayd of the Tarentines into Italj^ he warrs
in vain upon the Romam. And likewife attempting; SicilUi he was
beaten as well thence, asout of /w/ji, and fo rcturnM home. Then

The Kingdom of the psrthisMy that was afterward ftrivingly
ambitious with the li»m*»y whofc founder was Arfacet, began at
the fame time, in which the fir A Csrtb^ginUii War flamed in the

Ihcconftrained Afithridates fiirft to fly into Pontus,zn6 ti.ence by and

honfi being fubdued, he overcame in bartL- both Kings, going to-

lliraes, Ttgranocerta tnt head of jirmmiaj and alfo Nifibis, very
■great Cities, were taken. But at laft, Lucullus being forfaken by
Eis Souldiers, he was forced to yield up the fruit of fo many la-
Ibours and viftories unto Cneius Pompeius, in the year 688. Pom.
h(ji a Law being made, in the year which I have faid, by Cneius
IMmlius Tribune of the common people, he undertook a War
Iwith both Kings, he commanded TigranesMing brought to afur-
jrender, to be contenred with ji> menia alone. While he followed
lafter Mithridatesy he added the Iheri^ and Albanes to the %oman
lEmpire, in the year oft .c City 6^9, Laftly, Mithridates being
Ibeatcn on every fide, in the year 691, things being dcfpcratcac
Ihomr, thinking of a flight into France, being very much affright-
led through the failing or falling away ot his fon pharna-

THc whole World being now almofV tamed; the fortune oi
the i?0w4» Empire had come unto that ftaie, that it could
neither enlarge it lelf any farther, nor confift in that degree which
it held . Therefore when there could be no force tlirou^h the ut.
moft attempts, for the overthrowing of this, at length it confu.
med it felf by its own wealth. The which raifery the ambitj.
on of Princes, and civill difcord procured thereby , brought
upon it. I
(a; Caius C^fsr by the City Praetor(hip, having gotten the Pro.

fame place being famoufly managed, obtained a triumph. But I

ved or confirmed Pompeys a As through the Senate, and divided the!
fampAMon land, among very many citizens, and eafed the com-
mon Farriicrsof the Knight order, dcfiring an abatement of a thid
part of their rents. Adaughter of J«//4 being appointed for Fo$.\
pey^ he married C^lpurnis, ot Ptfon. When as by thefe Arts anJ
inHniie bounty, he had gotten the favour of all ranks of men uniol
himfelf, he got the Fre/^ch Province, the which from the year oi
the city 6f6,he began to Govern, and ruled nine years, as (b)Sut'\

which is conteined by thefyrenean Alps, theRiversof Xfcrwf anil

The Jf//?or) 0/ Herod. '^ ^ *■'
For the Searching out the Birth of CHRIST the Sa.
viour, the HiUoryof Herod is altogether needful! i whofe
beginning, and the years in which he reigned, we will letdown
in this Chapter.
This man wasthefon of jl/ttipater an IdumtcaKj therefore he
alfo an Jdumaan by birth, not an Afculomie 5 which thing (c)
/ifricanus with Eufehiutj iroin the report of fome, hath delivered.
We rathtr believe (d) JofephuSy who makcih this man an /(.».
mocdn i the which as 'tis more liitely to be true, iothat iskaftto
be reproved) becaufc all the ancient Fathers almoft, do fay Herd
to have been a ftranger. For the Idumxans are reckoned llran-
gets, that is, born of another flock, not as from Jacof>i although
following the fame Religion with the JMobites^ they were by pro.
fcflion Jews, not by Hock. But of begetting and Nature we
treat, not ot Faith and Religion, when we fcek concerning a Na.
tive and a flranger, as in that controverfie of Herod. tAntipm
in that dilagreement of brethren, of which we (e) have fpokcn
before, adhered to Hinavuiy and was appointed by ]uUm U-
far Solicitor oi (i) Judasa, who prcfently made his Ibn Herd
Lievtenant of Galilee, about twenty five years old, not fifteen,
as (g) ]cfepbw is deceived. From the fixth year after. Herd
was let over Oflofyia by C^far, in the year of the City built liven
hundred and feven. For in this ^ixth year C^jar appointed Le-
gions of Souldiers over 5)r/d, (h) Hmim being Author ; after
the fight at Pbilippii he { ) obtained a Tetrarchy with his bro-
tlicr Ph^ailus, from Antootus^ in the fifth Julian year. After
that 5 the Partbians being flirted up in Judaea by Antigonui
the brother of Ari^loluluSi tor the bargain of a thouiand talents,
Herod fleeth u. .0 Antonius ; through whom, he was beyond
hope, made King of J udara by the Senate. (.1) Cd/i//««J and Pal
/;o being Conluls, in the fixth Julian year, the 185 Olympiad
entrin"^. For with that purpofe he had come to /Jo//i(f, that he
might '"'ask the Kingdome for Alexander the Nephew of tAri^n-
hului\\\% Wives brother. He being returned into Judca, wiih
An'l^onus the brother of Art^obului, he (\rove more than iw.
years. At length, 5o/;ttj the Captain of ^«;o^;/«j bringing help,
he befiegcd and took Jcrufalem , wherein Antigotiu; had iliut
himfelf, in thcthird roonethinadayof fafting. (b ) 'Dio wri-

'^^,1^0 alfignethhim lo C/<J«a'/»s and Nori>anw ConiuU, that is, in
the 8th Julian year.Buc ihe Character of the year of Sabbath re-
proveth him ot f alfhood. Antigoms being bound to a ftake, and
Ibeaten with rods, a little after was fmitten with ajiatchet, as
Thus the chief rule of the H<jpwo»«e<i»j ceafed, after the year,
[faith J/<^/'^"^j I2<^; the which is moft true. For ya^<w firft was
Diadc chief Prieftot that ftock, in the year of the World 3820,
of the City 90 ^ from which, the hundred twenty fixth is the
[yiyyearof theCiry. ■■ . ^.\^ ,
\ Hence it appearcth, there was a two-fold^ bcgihriing of the
reign of ^<'''''^; one trom the fixth Julian ycarj tiie other from
[the 9ih : in the former, he was declared King by the Senate i in
[the latter, he reigned alone, his fellow- fuitcr being takrn away.
[Moreover, (d) pfephui writeth. That from the former beginning,

CHriilian Affairs of that time, are converfant in no great
!ight:it was rather through the fcarcencfleot Writers, than
Ibfcaufe there was nothing which might have been committed to
letters. For it is to be believed, the Apoftles and Dilciples ct
Chrift to have carried on neither fmali matters, nor things un-
worthy to be knovrn : but many thingsarefprinckled with tables
and uncertain tales. And alfo we have decreed tocomtnic to this
book, not an cxa(St hi(lory of all (hings,buc only fome chief heads
of things.
Peter being {lain by Nero, Linm undertook to govern
the 70""*'* Church, as (a) ancient Writers affirm, by whom is
given by voycean old table of the Roman Bifliops, framed toge-
ther in the time of Liberiw^ the which we have in our pofleflion.
They affignto this man 1 1 years, two moneths, and fome da yes j
that he dcccafed in the year of Chrift 78, vthomcletus afterward

Greeks; andhcfatc twelve years, and feven moneths ; and fuf-
! fcrcd Martyrdom in the year of Chrift pi, and had Clement his
Ifucceflour. Furthermore, in the (b) 13th ofDomitian, or 14th,
laperfecution began to wax hot againft the ChriAian name; in
which, Saint ]ohn the Apoftle being banidied into the lile Pat-
\mSi (c) wrote the %fVelatio»i (d) about the death of 2)ow//m« •

In the year of Chrift 222, Aurelius Severui Alexander obtained

' both in peace attd war. fie was wonderfully diligent either in
giving judgment, or in requiring juftice of the Judges, he repre-
hended and corrected thole who by favour or bribes did exceed
the bonds of Juftice and right ; he baniftied out of his Court aK
flatterers, fcoffers, and ftiames of the Court. He forbad the Ma-
giftratcs Offices to be bought, aflerting, That it could not be, but
what one nad bought,he would fell it again for hi?e-fake: There-
fore he did give a Salary out of the Treafury to the Governours
of tlic Provinces, left chcy (hould be burthenfome to the peo-
ple.
He was not an enemy to Chrift ; for he worftiippcd him in his
Chappel, not being fuffered by the Senate to give him any pub-
i lick divine honour, and to build him a Temple: In miniftring
Juftice, he made ufc of the induftry of the chiefcft and ableft
Lawyers, as (a) Ulpianus, Pomponim,Celfm^Modeflinm, Paulus,Pro. <"«; LamptM.

fufftr Martyrdome. This perfecution extended fo far as to Afria^
nrft under the government of Satmninm^ ihcn of Scapula, in that

Under tAlexander the Empcrour the Church did enjoy peace;

In the beginning of Prop's Empire, that is, in bis iecond yeir,

But under Diotlefia/ty the perfecution of the Chriftians wis fo
grievous and fo great, as afore this rime there was never the like,
at the latter end of his Empire. Although Buonim (c) gatbereib

that the Emperours commanded, by their Edifts, that all the

(a) LuctlU was a woman of 0}artagfs in Spain^ mighty and fa-
Iftious, who being reprehended by C*cilian the Arch-deacon,
I lought the occafion of revenging her felf ; It happened, that Men-
Vi^m the Bifliop of C^4r^4^^, being called to Rome by Miximian,
ne commended the VclTcls to the care of the Elders : Who bc-
[ jngdcad,C<ef/7/4» was ordained in his place by Felix tyfprungita-
\mh who asking of thefe Elders that that was left in their hands,
they refufcd and oppofed his communion, and to them joyned her

jiad their name from l>0;i4i«f,of the black houfesj the chief Au-

The other was the Schifm of Mdetianu (c) The Author of it
was Meletim BiOiop of Lycopolity who being dcgra Jed by Peter
Biihop of Alexandria) for divers crimes, and for having offered
iacrifice to Idols, fell off from him ; this buHneffc was broached
It the fame time wherein that of the Dtnatijls was.
Out of this fa^ion came (d; AriuSj m Elder of the Alexandrian
Church, who fpread abroad an ungodly and blafphemous hcrcnc

with his wife and children, being caft: into a (bed, in which they
were all fhut up, becaufe of his conftant rebellion and cpntu-

flfccr he pronounced a curfe on Neftwiut and Eutyches, and then
his Epiftle was read, and fo far tolerated, that there was no herc-

the difcord being as yet new between the Ealtern and ^Egyptian

In the fame Councell Theodorety who had been depoicd by 'Diafco-

lemcmbred I have read of the death of the latter. Corippus treat-

the year i42a> Auguft 29. Hfnry the ^thjis put in tie looiw of
this : Charls the fcventh in the room of Charh, two months a(kc
having finiaicd his life. There was thereby, or from that titne,
a continual courfcof iheEnglifti viftory i Towns daily falling
off from CharU. Moreover, the chief bending of affairs is made
aoainfi the people of Orleans, the moft noble City of Cel«ca.

wonder rare to this day, brought help to thcTownfmcnnowfiar,
ing the cxtteameft things. Joan Dmeit was a Maid, her fathirbe-
ing t husbandman, in the Tullian field, a keeper ot fhccp: (he
being inwardly l\irrcd by words from God, to loofe the ficge of
Orleans, and deliver Charts out ot fo many f^raights, came of hit
own accord unto this King : And a promifc beingmade, flic being
fcnt to Orlcance with ayds, beat back the Englift) broken in (emc
bawels from the City,in (a) the year 1429, May 12. Shebrowght
the King to Durocottum of Rhcmcs, to take of right, the holy things
or ceremonies of the kingdom. The enemy being often icattcrcd,
(he was at length taken ac Compendium ia the year 1430 j (bj
whom after a long debate had concerning her, Peter Cauchonm^
Billiop of B.'Uovacia, condemned. The Englifli burnt her alive
ill the year 143 i v at which time, (cj faith m'to/.jltelett, an Af-
fembly began to be had at Bafil. Concerning this Virgin, who
is commonly called, Tfe^ MaidofOrieAnce^ fomc reproachful things
are falfly vaunted of by foroc. But that flie was innocent an4
dear to Got , both many things do pcrfwaJe, (d which arc read,
delivered in full Volumes ; and alio a moft profpcrous ifl'acoi the
thing having followed i as it may be right to afcribc it to none
but God as the Author. For afterwards all things waxed worfe
with the Englifl*. Charts (the Bur gundian being reconciled unt»
him (c) in the year 143 5) by degrees received his kingdom outof
the h:uid of the enemies ; ( t ) fo that in the year 1453, T^^h «
man of great valour being flain, and Aquitane again taken away,
he caufcd nothing to be left unto the Englifli m France, btfide

a Councei. All religious pcrfons fo called, that refuied to take
an oath from the Swedes, were commanded to depart. And af-
terwards they meet together at Frankf ord ; where the fayling into
both the Indies that had been begun fix years before,was enlarged
with the priviledgesof Guflaveburg. Yet the Empcrians take
this ye«r Frankfort into pofl'cfiion ; And the Duke of Saxony en-
deavoured to recover it, but ailin vain.
But in the year 16345 both parties fcem to bcftirr thcmfelvcs,

And about this time,the highcft power of managing the War, was
committed unto the Elector of Saxony throughout both his Cir-
cles. Steinford being fubducd, Boninghaufe is put to flight, while
IS in the mean time, ^ufiave, kinfman of King Guftavm is made a
powerful Lord of Ofnabrugenfe, and there brings in the religious
ritcsof the Proteftants. Then alfo the lower Saxony held an Af-
fembly at Halberftafie, and decreeth to tniCL up arms in their owlh
defence. Then the Swedes crave ayd of the Hollander, and fo
get the Mafterdome. And among other toflFngs, Luna, (a Town
inHctiuria, fo called from its marble Mines, fhining like tht
Moon) was four times taken.
Moreover, the 14th of February, this year proved fatall unto
Iridbnd the Emperout's EmbafTadour, and Captain of all his
Souldiery, who (cither undergoing envy, or through the malignity
of a tongue at will, or too bitter and fharp a commaod,or through
ambition of others,or through fufpition of the Protefkant Religion,
not fiocerely renounced) is, as it were, fmelled out, and GaUfe
put into his place , being about to paffe over to the Proteflanc
parties, is thruft thorow at Eger ; in which day alfo Schafgetfeh is
iaidhold of inSilefia, and in the year following beheaded, and
Umnhrgick on the 1 6 day, who was ignorant of matters. But
hereupon it came to paffe, that the Emperout's warfare, untill
that his fon the King of Hungary, the Captains requiring it, toge-
ther with pay for the Souldiers, was put upon tho Army, was but
in an unfcttled and floating condition.

The King, after the figtir, oaarchcdcothe City and Utiivetfity
of Oxford i which place he took up, as it wen, the Mctrepolisof
bis rcfidencc in the time of the War j and £fsex unto Coventry
forrcfrcftiment, who came Novemb. y.iom^min^er, his Army
quartering in Villages adjacent, by reafon of the King's wide ex-
curfions out of Oxford, which put London in fear. At which
time, (while the Parliament was petitioning him tor an «ccom.
modation of peace, being but 1 5 miles froaii the City, and he
had manifefted a grief for the peoples luffcrings, with a dcfire to
treat with them near London upon Propofitions) his forces felt un.
CKpeaedly up«n a Parliament broken Regiment at Brainford, fe-
vcn miles difiance, killing many, on the lath day of Noveabcrj |
and the next day there was a bloody fight maintained by two
other Regiments coming for affiftance. £/>x, foon heariog of it
at Landoii, came fpeedily with lUcngth for relief, with a great
number of armed men out of London j So that, had there not been
an overfigl.t committed, in withdrawing 3000 men from King,
flone upon tbamest a Town 10 miles ©ff, the King (being by a fat
greater number enclefed) would fcarce have cfcaped ; the which
now he did, fafely returning to Oxford : But this a^ion did not a
little engage I.o/i</i»« again ft him.
Amonglt divers beTiegings, fiormings, taking of places this
year, that of Cyrenctjtert a Town of Gloucefl:erfliire,is remarkable,
which being entred by the King's Forces, the refifters were very
rigidly and too too cruelly dealt withall, many of them being
brought (m the winter feafon) from that place to Oxford thorow
mire and dirt barefoot; this was in the beginning of February;
On the 2 2d day of which moneth,the C^cen of England landed at
Burlington, a Sea-Town in Yorkfhire, with arms againft the Par-
liament, whence fhe went to Yoik on March the 7th j and was
by the Parliament voted a Traytor to the Common-wealth, May
the 2 3d, I ^43. A little after whofe landing, March tbefecond,
1^42, the Lord ifr00i(', a Parliament Commander, who was ac-
counted both valorous, learned, and virtuous, is by a Musket (lioi
from the Minflerof Lichfield in Leicef\cr(hire, Aricken dead, as
he looked out of a window toward the enclofed enemy, to the
forrow and enrasement of his SoHldiery. About the middle of
which moncth alfoj divers Capuchin-Fryers, that had before be-
longed unto the C^ecn, were by order of the faid Parliament fenc
away into France, from whence they came. And whereas now
the Prince of Orange had begun to help the King, he is by the
States of the United Provinces^ either through good will, or Po-
licy retrained.

the exercife of the Catholique Religion, in all places otthe Do-

it had been before ; thofe being fent away and call our, who had

etprcfly agreed in the Borufsian and mokargian marriages j that
if the inheritance of thcic dominions (hould chance to come to the
ibovcmcntioncl daughters : there ihould bt no innovation : but
iheCatholique ilcligion retained without any obftaclc. But the
\imdeniurgians thought it neither hindered the nuptial Cove-
Lants,nor the State's promife, if the followers of other Religions,
than what wasufual, was brought in ; fo it might be done with-
out wronging the Catholiques , and they among thefe do live
quietly and peaceably : moreover, it made for the no lelTe quiet ot

About or in Dccemb. following, the once Polifh Vice-Cbintcl-

ly, That he had tn intimate correfpondcncy with the City of

alfo, that he had adefign to betray £/^/>>^and Hoft into King Ct-

another face, and chiefly by the approaching of ^o^o/zi Prince af

Fifthly, Peru is bounded on the South with Chile, and on the
North with Golden Cajiile, and is divided into three parts, Moua-
rains, Plains, and Andes : along the Set it's plaio and low, with
many Valleys, and is 1500 miles long, and but 30 or 45 broad.
Toward the Eaft are the Andes or two chains of Mountains in view
of each other, and are faid to run from the Magellan fti ait, where
they begin, between Nmhe tie Dm and Fanama, unto the firm
land ; called alfo Cordeliere : Weft ward is Sierraot the Moun-

above 120 miles broad in all: and hath about 50 Valleys, the
chief being Xausa^ C42 miles long, and 1 5 broad) with 3 others.

are Marat»o» ^uaiachil, tc Riodi la Plate ; which lalt is faid to be
2ooe miles in length, and 150 broad at the mouth. All the Na-

are diftinA : and every one conrains many other people un-

and take their name from the river along which they dwcil.
This river is very fpatious, over which they pafle in boats made
hollow of a Tree fitly g;rowing for that purpofe, called Zaine,
Here are 6 Towns, the chief whereof is called Vya'j Foji or the
true faith. The Country was firfl difcovercd by the North Sca>

Koias and others, by the way of Peru.

or the Idands ot Robbers, and commonly called Latrones, they
are two in number, a good diftance from the Moluccoes j which
name, Magellane, who difcovered them, is faid to give them, be-
caufe the Native Iflanders dole away his Cockboat. But faith
one, when the 5/;4nf4r^s had once found out an ordinary paflage
from the South Sea, towards the Molutcoes, they never ceafed to
travail that way, and 4ifcover more and more, whereby they
found out divers Iflmds not formerly known j as two, a good di-
ftance from the Molutcoes ; which, becaufe they be inhabited by
men who not unely (leal from each other, but pilfer away all they
can from flrangers landing thereabouts; they are called infuU '
LMtronum, or the Iflands of Robbers. Or the JfifaU Salomonu,
SgUmof/s fjles j which are nearer to ^he Eaji-I/idies : thefc arc faid

in the CAhanien Mountains arc faid to be Mines exceeding full;
There is likcwife great abundance of Sugar, Caflia, Ginger, Ma-
fttck the wood Aloes. and Cinamon 5 aliothcy have Azure. Now
alfo they have fo many tame beads, that thiy tranfport a multi-
luJeof Hides from thence into Spain j whereas before the com-
ming of the Spaniard<i thither, there was but three kinds of four-
footed bcafts. The Natives go naked, arc floachfull, Nving one-
ly of their fishing : But the Inhabitants have now great traffiquc,
growing rich,fincc Sugar-canes have been broi'ght thiiher,where-
bythty have made Mills and fhops. 2. fwi-^j called alfo JF^j-r//-

all in common, as content with what nature brought forth, de-

whofe length and breadth, I find great difference in relating ;
fome,that it is 300 miles long, and feventy broad ; others that it
is but fifty miles long, and eighteen broad. It is alfo faid to be
divided into two pans ; whereof the N )rth hath moft plenty of
Gold, and the South part of Corn, Fruit, and Cattle ; it abounds
alfo in Filh, and they find very good Gayac. John Ponce the Spani'

in Peru one in every Province, in which were two forts of wo-
