The holy Genealogie of Iesus Christ both his naturall Line of Fathers which S. Luke followeth chap. 3. And his Kingly line which S. Matthew followeth chap. 1. with fit notation of their Names By H. Br. To the Christian Reader THE holy Genealogie of Iesus Christ may not be reckoned in the number of those prophane ones which S. Paul condemneth in 1. Tim. 1.4 for it doth not consist in a vaine repetition of Names as many doe thinke neither is the knowledge thereof superfluous as some doe affirme But verily if it be rightly vnderstood it is of exceeding great vse and consequence not onely to prooue Christ to be the promised Seede which is a weightie poynt But also it serueth as a speciall guide to direct vs in the true vnderstanding of all the Holy Storie For the natiue iudgement of all men teacheth that Histories cannot be learned rightly without knowledge of the Persons vpon whom the Narrations goe That beeing so all that looke for Saluation by Scripture which calleth vs vnto our Sauiour should haue a special care to know our Lords Line for vpon it all the Stories go principally either in open phrase of words or else with some close relation as hee that will take but a serious view of our Lords line of Fathers shall soone see how all the Holy storie dependeth vpon it and from it as from a Fountaine doth branch it selfe into a most pleasant varietie of all Gods holy proceedinges in the wonderfull preseruation of his Church and in the fearefull ouerthrow of all the enemies thereof The Ebrew hath kept a perfect Register of all their Names vnto Dauid but after that Dauid had the promise of the Celestiall Throne 2. Sam. 7. Then our Lords kindred was kept in priuate Recordes all sauing foure As Nathan for the first and three others of him that inherited Salomons right And yet notwithstanding the God of Wisedome hath not suffered those Names which the Ebrew hath omitted in the old Test to perish in obliuion But the Holy Ghost hath been exceeding carefull to set downe in Greeke a perfect Register of them all in the very forefront euen like a most stately Vlam or Porch before the Temple of the New Testament And yet it is a most lamentable thing to consider how many men doe peruert and obscure this glorious entrance of the blessed Gospel to the great hurt of all Christianitie to the great hardoning of the poore blind Iewes in their obstinate resisting of all our Gospel For say they If so many grosse errours as many Christians haue broched for currant truth be set in the very forefrunt of all the N. Testament then Christ is not come in the flesh neither is our N.T. from God Which assertion cannot be denied if it be true as many doe affirme First That Salomons house did end in Achazias Secondly That King Ioas in Mat. 1. and Simeon in Luk. 3. are all one man Thirdly That Ioachaz a younger Brother was made Father to Ioakim two yeares his elder Fourthly That Salathiel was the naturall Sonne of Iechonias notwithstanding Gods Oath that he should die childlesse Ier. 22. But to cleare the holy Genealogie of Iesus Christ from these and many other grosse errours it will not be amisse first to lay downe a briefe Table to reconsile S. Matthew and S. Luke which shall begin no higher then Dauid because the maine errours are chiefly found in his posteritie And after this shall follow a more large Table of all our Lords Fathers with briefe obseruations vpon their Names which shall be layde downe in their true distinctions and with notations agreeable to the Ebrew and to occasions holden fitte to giue them names at their birth times And herein we may consider the wonderfull prouidence of God closely disposing their Names to that which in Storie should be most famous For it is euident that the Names of our Lords line were sagely giuen by the guidance of Gods spirit and in more wise sort then euer any fieigner could thinke vpon as the discreete Reader may easily discerne by the correspondance of their Names which abridge the Holy Story The Syriaque or Chaldy Arabique and Ethiopian are as Ebrew H.

Asa Iosaphat Ioram Achaziah These badde 3. and worse Iehoiakim which were kild for euill ruling S. Matthevv omitteth Ioaz These badde 3. and worse Iehoiakim which were kild for euill ruling S. Matthevv omitteth Amaziah These badde 3. and worse Iehoiakim which were kild for euill ruling S. Matthevv omitteth Ozias Ioatham Achas Ezechias Manasses Amon. Iosias Iakim or Iehoiakim Iehoiachin or Ie-chonias Hee ended Salomons race for God swore that he should leaue no Child behind him Ier. 22.24 Wherfore it is flat atheisme to prate that he naturally became father to Salathiel Although S. Luke had neuer left vs Salathiels familie vp to Nathan yet Gods oath Jer. 22. should make vs beleeue it And when Zorobabel of Salathiel is chosē for Gods signet in the place of Jec●onias Aggi 2.24 then Zacharie taught chap. 12.10 that they were of the familie of Nathan And yet it is true also that Jechonias begat Salathiel to wit as a successor to the Kingdome and so S. Matthevv doth meane for any Learned know that he beginning with the term● of begetting might not depart frō it where the custome of speach suffereth the catachresis But yet the Iewes in Sanedrin foll 38. say That Jechonias by repentance called backe Gods oath and still they teach that Christ must come of Jechonias That errour sendeth millions dayly to Abaddon Luk. 3.
