CHAP. XLIX.
Of Iosias, Hezekiah, Dauid, Ieremie, Ezekiel, Zorobabel, Iesus, Nehemias,
Enoch, Joseph, Sem and Seth.
1 The remembrance of note note Iosias is like the composition
of the perfume that is made by the art
of þe; apothecarie: it is sweete as honie in al mouthes,
and as musike at a banket of wine.
2 He behaued himselfe vprightly in the reformation
of the people, and tooke away all abominations
of iniquitie.
3 He note directed his heart vnto the Lord, and in
the time of the vngodly he established religion.
4 All, except Dauid and Ezekias, and Iosias,
committed wickednesse: for euen the Kings of Iuda
forsooke the Lawe of the most High, and failed.
5 Therefore he gaue their note horne vnto other,
and their honour to a strange nation.
6 He burnt the elect citie of the Sanctuarie,
note and destroyed the streetes thereof according to
the note prophesie of note Ieremias.
7 For they note intreated him euill, which neuerthelesse
was a Prophet, note sanctified from his mothers
wombe, that he might roote out, and afflict,
and destroy, and that he might also builde vp, and
plant.
8 note noteEzechiel sawe the glorious vision, which
was shewed him vpon the charet of the Cherubims.
9 noteFor he made mention of the enemies vnder
the figure of the raine, and directed them that went
right.
10 ¶2; note And let the bones of the twelue Prophets
flourish out of their place, and let their memorie be
blessed: for they comforted Iacob, and deliuered
them by assured hope.
11 ¶2; note Howe shall we prayse note Zorobabel, which
was as a ring on the right hand!
12 So was note note Iesus also the sonne of Iosedec: these
men in their time builded the house, and set vp the
Sanctuarie of the Lord againe, which was prepared
for an euerlasting worship.
13 ¶2; note And among þe; elect was note Neemias whose
renoume is great, which set vp for vs the walles that
were fallen, and set vp the gates and the barres, and
layed the foundations of our houses.
14 ¶2; But vpon the earth was no man created like
note note Enoch: for he was taken vp from the earth.
15 Neither was there a like man vnto note note Ioseph
the gouernour of his brethren, and the vpholder of
his people, whose bones were kept.
16 note noteSem & note Seth were in great honour among
men: and so was note Adam aboue euery liuing thing
in the creation.
