fitly pretended for the first composing of it then the extraordinary joy of the whole Communitie of the people of Juda and Israel aswell Priests as Laicks upon the erection or finishing of the second Temple For within the compasse of this season Haggai had prophecied that the desire of all Nations should come unto that Temple The precise time according to exact calculation of his comming to Jerusalem and of his death there had beene notified by Daniel not long before The sacred history of the times wherein Zerubbabel Ieshua Haggai and Zechariah lived beare plentifull record that the people of Judah Benjamin or Israel had no just cause or great occasions of rejoycing according to that scale of joy and gladnesse which is charactered in the 118. Psalme immediately after their returne from Babylonish captivitie For both neighbour Nations and the principal Officers of this side Euphrates of those kings unto whom they were subject did partly by violence partly by malicious suggestions for divers yeares prohibite the erection of the Temple and the re-edifying of Jerusalem More feare then joy did possesse this great people when they begun to erect the Altar of the Lord as may appeare from Ezra 3.4 And that was divers months before the foundation of the Temple was laid at which time indeed there was much joy especially amongst the people and younger sort Yet joy mixt with many teares of the Ancient especially Priests and Levites which had seene the former Temple at least the foundation of it Ezra 3.12 13. 5 However it is probable that this 118. Psalm was in part composed upon the sight or view of the first foundation of the second Temple For Ezra tells us that the Priests and Levites after the ordinance of David King of Israel sung together by course in praising and giving thanks unto the Lord because he is good and his mercy endureth for ever toward Israel And in this forme of thanksgiving the 118. Psalme begins and ends O give thanks unto the Lord for his mercy endureth for ever Let Israel now say that his mercy endureth for ever ver 1. O give thanks unto the Lord for he is good for his mercy endureth for ever ver 29. I am not forgetfull nor can the Reader be ignorant that there is another Psalme videlicet 136. in which this forme of praise is more perpetuall as being the close or fall of every verse But that Psalme as I have many inducements to conceive was composed long before the foundation of the Temple was laid But other Psalmes of thanksgiving there are besides these two which were composed upon speciall occasions and afterwards continued in their solemne feasts with further additions and amplifications as the like occasions of publique joy did minister For later Prophets or men otherwise inspired by the holy Ghost for that purpose to intersert or adde more plaine or fuller expressions of Davids or former Prophets intent or meaning in their forme of thanksgiving or to paraphrase upon them was never unlawfull although they had added the same curse to such as should adde unto or diminish their writings which is annexed unto the law of Moses and the booke of the Revelations For no addition is forbidden but such as includeth a vitiation of the text or such as pretendeth Divine authority when it hath it not 6 But however this 118. Psalme or most part of it might be begunne upon the occasions forementioned by Ezra yet some passages in it there are which in particular refer unto some one of the three great and anniversary solemnities as that This is the day which the Lord hath made we will rejoyce and be glad in it Save now O Lord I beseech thee c. ver 24 25. Now after the foundation of the Temple was laid there was no solemn feast in which this peoples expression of joy and thanksgiving was so remarkeable or so peremptorily required as in that feast of Tabernacles or booths recorded by Nehemiah cap. 8. A feast of Tabernacles there was some few months after the foundation of the Temple was laid by Zerubbabel and Ieshua the sonne of Iozadeck recorded by Ezra 3.4 c. But that feast of Tabernacles was solemnised secundùm quid onely in respect of the peculiar daily sacrifices which the Law in that month appointed to be offered There is no mention in Ezra of their dwelling in boothes either in their publique streets upon their publique houses or in the Courts of the Lords house which was not at that time builded This part of that great solemnity had not beene observed from the daies of Ioshua the sonne of Nun untill Nehemiah had put his peremptory commission for re-edifying Jerusalem in execution Nehemiah which is the Tirshatha and Ezra the Priest the Scribe and the Levites that taught the people said unto all the people This day is holy unto the Lord your God mourne not nor weepe for all the people wept when they heard the words of the Law c. And they found written in the Law which the Lord had commanded by Moses that the Children of Israel should dwell in boothes in the feast of the seventh month And that they should publish and proclaime in all their Cities and in Ierusalem saying Goe forth unto the Mount and fetch Olive branches and pine branches and myrtle branches and Palme branches and branches of thick trees to make booths So the people went forth and brought them and made themselves booths every one upon the roofe of his house and in their courts and in the courts of the house of God and in the street of the water gate of Ephraim And all the congregation of them that were come againe out of the captivity made boothes and sate under the boothes for since the dayes of Ioshua the sonne of Nun unto that day had not the Children of Israel done so and there was very great gladnesse Also day by day from the first day unto the last day he read in the booke of the law of God And they kept the feast seven dayes and on the eighth day was a solemne Assembly according unto the manner Nehem. 8.9 10 11. c. This great day of the feast was that anniversary solemnity wherein our Lord and Saviour after the revolution of many years how many I leave to the calculation of Chronologers did make that solemne proclamation unto the people assembled at the feast of Tabernacles Iohn 7.37 In the last day that great day of the feast Iesus stood and cryed saying If any man thirst let him come unto me and drink He that beleeveth on mee as the Scriptures have said out of his belly shall flow rivers of running water But this spake he of the Spirit which they that beleeve on him should receive For the holy Ghost was not yet given because that Iesus was not yet glorified 7 It is very observable which is recorded by Saint Iohn Chap. 7.14 That about the midst of the feast Iesus went into the
