The enemy that sowed them is the Devil the harvest is y^e end of y^e world: & y^e reapers are y^e angels. As therefore the tares are gathered & burnt in y^e fire, so shall it be in y^e end of this world.

And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a Trumpet & they shall gather together his elect from y^e four winds, from one end of y^e heaven to y^e other. But of that day & hower knoweth no man, no not the angels of heaven, but my father onely. But as the days of Noe were so shall y^e coming of the Son of man be. – Then shall two be in the field, the one shall be taken & the other left. Two weomen shall be grinding at y^e mill, the one shall be taken & y^e other left. – Therefore be ye ready for in such an hower as ye think not the Son of man cometh. Mat 24.29 to 44.

Becaus they though|t| the kingdom of God should immediately appear he said unto them. A certain nobleman went into a far country to receiv {sic} for him self a kingdom & return.

And when he returned having received y^e kingdom He called his servants to account & the first s^d L^d thy pound hath gained 10 lbs. And he said have thou authority over 10 cities. &c – But those mine enemies w^ch would not y^t I should rule over them bring hither y^t I may slay them before me. Luke 19.11 to 27.

The children of this world marry & are given in marriage, but they w^ch shall be accounted worthy to obtein that world, & y^e resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage, neither can they die any more but are for they are equall unto y^e angels & are y^e children of God being the children of y^e resurrection. Now y^t y^e dead are raised even Moses shewed at y^e bush when he calleth y^e Lord y^e God of Abraham, y^e God of Isaac & y^e God of Iacob. ffor he is not a God of y^e dead but of the living. Luke 20.34 to 37.

Acts 3.19 20, 21.

<4>

God will render to every man according to his works to them that work by continuance in wel doing {illeg} seek for glory – eternal life – but tribulation & anguish upon every soul of man y^t doth evil, of y^e Iew first & also of the Gentile. But glory & honour & peace to every man that worketh good to y^e Iew first & also to y^e g|G|entile. ffor as many as have sinned without law shall perish without law & as many as have sinned under y^e law shall be judged by the law – in y^e day when God shall judg the secrets of mens hearts by Iesus christ Rom 2.6 to 16.

^[3]The The promis that Abraham should be heir of y^e world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the law but through the righteousnes of faith ffor if they w^ch are of the law be heires faith is made voyd & the promis of none effect. Rom 4.13, 14.

^[4]They w^ch are of the flesh are not y^e children of God, but y^e children of y^e promis are counted for the seed (i.e of Abraham to w^ch God promised y^e inheritance of Palestine) Rom 9.10. |Thus the Heathen are called a wild olive grafted in to y^e root i.e. heirdom of promis. Rom 11.17.|

In this land wherein ye now dwel God gave Abraham no inher

^[5]God removed Abraham into this land wherein ye now dwel And he gave him no inheritance in it no not so much as to set his foot on yet he promised that he would give it to him for a possession & to his seed after him, when as yet he had no child. Acts 7.5. But when the time of the promis drew nigh w^ch God had sworn to Abraham the people grew & multiplied in Egypt vers 17.

Nevertheles I will remember my covenant w^th thee in the days of thy youth & I will establish unto the an everlasting covenant. Ezek. 16.60.

^[6]ffor I would not brethren that ye should be ignorant of this mystery – that blindness in part is happened to Israel until the fulnes of the gentiles be come in. And so all Israel shall be saved as it is written there shall come out of Sion the deliverer & shall turn away ungodlines from Iacob. ffor this is my Covenant when I shall take away their sins. Rom 11.25 to 27 See also Isaiah {26} 59.18 to 21.

Note. Christ proves y^e resurrection becaus God said to Moses he was y^e God of Abraham Isaac & Iacob. Ergo Gods covenant with them extends to y^e resurrection.

In Christ shall all be made alive but every man in his own order, Christ the first fruits, then they that are Christs. Then cometh the end when he shall have delivered up y^e kingdom to God even y^e Father when he shall have put down all rule & authority & power For he must reign till he hath put down all enemies under his feet & y^e last enemy is death that shall be destroyed is death 1 Cor 15.22 to 28.

We shall not all sleep but we shall all be changed in a moment in the twinckling of an eye at the last Trump. For the Trumpet <5> shall sound & the dead shall be raised incorruptible & we shall be changed. 1 Cor 15.51.

Do ye not know that y^e saints shall judg y^e world? Do ye not know y^t we shall judg Angels. 1 Cor 6.2, 3.

ffor I am in a straight betwixt two having a desire to depart & to be with Christ w^ch is far better, nevertheless to abide in y^e flesh is more needful for you Philip 1.23.

We w^ch are alive & remain unto y^e coming of the lord shall not prevent them w^ch are asleep. For the lord himself shall descend from y^e heaven w^th a shout & w^th y^e voyce of y^e Arch Angel & with y^e Trumpet of God & y^e dead in Christ shall rise first. Then we w^ch are alive & remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet y^e Lord in y^e Air (Luke 17.34 & Matth 24.|31,| 40) & so we shal be ever with y^e lord. 1 Thes 4.15.

When y^e Lord Iesus

It is a righteous thing with God to recompens tribulation to them y^t trouble you & to you who are troubled, rest w^th us; when y^e Lord Iesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty Angels; in flaming fire taking vengeance on y^m y^t know not God – who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from y^e p^rsence of y^e Lord & when from y^e glory of his power when he shall come to be glorified in his saints – in y^t day. 2 Thes 1.6 to 10

When God made promis to Abraham, because he could sweare he sware saying surely blessing I will bless thee & multiplying I will multiply thee. (i.e. in children natural & adopted, for in thee shall all nations be blessed) – Wherein God willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of the promis y^e immutability of his counsel confirmed it by an oath. Hebr 6.13, 14, 17.

^[7]S^t Peter speaking to y^e Iews saith, The promis promis is to you & to your children & to all that are afar of even as many as y^e Lord o^r God shall call. Acts 2.39.

^[8]By faith Abraham when he was called to go out into a place w^ch he should after receiv for an inheritance, obeyed: And he went out not knowing whither he went. By faith he sojourned in the land of promis as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac & Iacob the heires with him of the same promis. ffor he looked for a city w^ch hath foundations whose builder & maker is God. – Therefore of him sprang there even of one & him as good as dead so many as starrs of y^e sky in multitude – These all died in faith not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, & were perswaded of them & imbraced them & confessed that they were strangers \& pilgrims/ on the earth. \1 Chron. 29.15. Ps. 39.12./ For they that say such things (i.e. that they are pilgrims) declare plainly that they seek a country. And truly if they had bee{n} mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned. But now they desire a better country <6> that is an heavenly; wherefore God is not ashamed of them to {be} called their God. ffor he hath prepared for them a ci{illeg}|t|y. By faith Abrahā offered up Isaac, & he that had \received/ y^e promises offered up his onely begotten Son, Of whom it was said that in Isaac shall thy seed be called; accou accounting y^t God was able to rais him up even from the dead, from whence also he received him in a figure (i.e. præfiguring y^t he should be raised from y^e dead to inherit with him y^e promises{)}. Hebr 11.8 to 19.

In the days of y^e voyce of the 7^th Trumpet \Angel/, when he shal begin to sound, y^e mystery of God shall

There shall be time no longer but in the days of the voyce of the 7^th Angel when he shall begin to sound y^e mystery of God shall be finished as he hath declared to his servants the Prophets. Rev. 10.7. And y^e 7^th Angel sounded, & there were great voyces in heaven saying the kingdomes of this world are become the kingdoms of o^r Lord & of his christ – And the nations were angry & thy wrath is come & the time of the dead that they should be judged, & thou shouldest give reward unto thy sain|servan|ts the prophets & to the saints & them that feare thy name small & great & shouldest destroy them that destroy the earth Rev 11.        They are spirits of devils going forth to gather the kings of y^e whole earth to y^e battel of y^e great day of God almighty. Behold I come as a Thief. |Blessed is he y^t watcheth. Rev. 16.14.|

If If thou shalt not watch I will com on the as a thief & thou shalt not know what hower I will come upon thee. Rev. 3.3 see also 1 Thes 5.2. & 2 Peter 3.10. The day of y^e Lord cometh as a Thief in the night. 1 Thes. 5.2. & 2 Peter 3.10. see also Matth 24{illeg}.42, 43.

And y^e 7^th Angel poured out his vial into y^e Air & there came a voyce out of heaven – saying It is done. And there was a great Earthquake such as was not since men were upon the earth – And Babylon came in remembrance – & every Island fled away &c.

He w^ch keepeth my word|k|s unto the end to him will I give power over the nations. Rev. 2.26. Iesus Christ y^e prince of y^e kings of the earth Rev. 1.5.

Behold he cometh with clouds & every ey shall see him & they also w^ch pierced him, & all kindreds of the earth shall wail becaus of him Rev 1.7.

Ierusalem which is above is free w^ch is the mother of us all. ffor it is written. Rejoyce thou Barren that bearest not, break forth & cry thou that trav|a|illest not: for the desolate hath many more children then she that hath an husband. Now wee bretheren {sic} as Isaac was are the children of promis. Gal. 4.26, 27, 28. See Isaiah 54.1, 3, 7, 8

But ye are come unto Mount Sion & unto y^e city of y^e living God, the heavenly Ierusalem, & to an innumerable company of Angells: To y^e generall assembly. Hebr 12.22.

Thou wast slain & hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred & tongue & people & nation: & hast made us unto o^r God kings & Priests & we shall reign on (or over) the earth. |Rev: 5.9, 10, & 1.6.|

Ships shall come from y^e Coast of Chittim & shall afflict Assur & Eber, & he also shall perish fore ever. vers 24.

Of Elias.

Behold I will send my messenger & he shall prepare the way before me & the Lord whom ye seek shall suddenly come to his temple – But who may abide the day of his coming? & who shall stand when he appeareth. Malachy 3.1, 2.

This is he of whome it is written, Behold I send my messenger before thy face w^ch shall prepare thy way before thee. – And if ye will receiv it this is Elias w^ch was for to come. Mat 11.10, 14. Luke 7.27

Behold I will send you Elijah the prophet & he shall before the coming of the great & dreadfull day of the Lord. And he shall turn the heart of y^e fathers to y^e children, & y^e heart of the children to their fathers least I come & smite the earth with a curs. Malachy 6.5, 6.

And there appeared unto them Moses & Elias & they were talking w^th Iesus – And (y^e disciples) asked him saying why say the Scribes that Elias must first come And he answered & told them Elias verily cometh first & restoreth all things, & (amongst other things this truth) how the son of man should suffer many things & be set at nought. But I say unto you that Elias is indeed come & they have done unto him whatsoever they listed {Luke} as it is written of him. Mark 9.4, 11, 12, 13.      Iesus said unto them (his disciples) Elias shall first come & restore all things, but I say unto you that Elias is come already & they knew him not but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Then the disciples understood that he spake to them of Iohn |y^e| Baptist. Matth 17.11, 12, 13.

And They asked (Iohn y^e Baptist) – art thou Elias? And he saith I am not. Art thou that Prophet? And he answered, no|NO|. Then said they unto him who are thou? – He said I am y^e voyce of one crying in y^e wildernes make streight y^e way of the Lord as saith y^e Prophet Isaias. (ch 40.3) Iohn 1.21, 22, 23.

Whom the heaven must receive untill the times of restitution of all things w^ch God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began. Acts 3.21.

Levit. 26.27 to 44.

It shall come to pass in the last days that the mountain of the Lords house shall be established in the top of the mountains & shall be exalted above the hills & all nations shall flow unto it. And many people shall goe & say come ye let us goe up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Iacob, & he will teach us of his ways & we will walk in his paths. ffor out of Zion shall go forth the law & the word of the Lord from Hierusalem. And he shall judg among the nations & shall rebuke strong nations afar off. And they shall beat their swords into plows shares & their spears into pruning hooks. Nation shall not lift up sword against nation neither shall they learn war any more. Isaiah 2.2, 3, 4 & Micah 4.1, 2, 3.

In that day the remnant of Israel, such as are escaped of the house of Iacob – shall return unto y^e mighty God. ffor though thy people Israel be as y^e sand of y^e Sea yet a remnant of them shall return, the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness. ffor y^e Lord God of hosts shall make a consumption even determined in the midst of all the land.

Cap. 1. sec 3. \Per duas portas australes \& unam occidentalem/ ingrediebantur et egrediebantur. Porta ab Aquilone nulli erat usui./ Portæ orientali [ex Mandato R{illeg} Regis Persarū {illeg} reducibus ex urbe Susan dato] impressa erat Susan Civitatis imago, per quam intuebatur Sacerdos [in monte oliverum {sic} consistens] dum [ibi] combureret Vaccam [rufam] Etiam quicunqꝫ operis socij quiqꝫ adjumento in vacca comburenda erant, hâc in Olivarum montem prodibant. Hæ quinqꝫ portæ erant in ambitu templi

4 Septem erant portæ in atrio magno tres ad Aquilonem, tres ad Austrum, una in Oriente. Ad austrum erat porta ardoris [sc. per quam ligna inferebantur ad Altare] huic succedebat porta oblationis [per quam primogenita inferebant quæ ad austrum mactabantur.] tertia {illeg} ordine \[orientem versus]/ erat porta aquarum [ubi extructa erat domus lotionis          ] In oriente erat porta Nicanor: quæ duo habebat conclavia, unum a dextra {illeg} alterū a sinistra. Vnum erat conclave Pinchasi vestiarij [ubi sacerdotes \tempore ministerij/ induebant et exuebant vestes sanctas & vestes \illæ/ custodiebantur] alterum conclave coquenti sartagines destinatum [Levit 6.21]

5 Ad septentrionem erat porta prominentiæ [quippe quæ longius extra Atrij murum prominebat {illeg}] forma pergulæ {illeg} cujusdam, supra quam ædificatū erat cænaculum ita ut sacerdotes superiori loco excubias agerent; Levitæ vero inferiori. – Hic succedebat porta oblationis [per quam victimas inferebant quæ ad septentrionem mantabantur. tertia dicebatur locus incendij [ubi perpetuo lignorū strues ardebat ad calefaciendos sacerdotes undipedes.]

6. Quatuor conclavia erant in loco incendij veluti totidem κοιτῶνες versus palatium vel Basilicam aperti: quorum duo erant in loco sancto duo in prophano: atqꝫ trabium capita [e muro prominentia] inter sanctum et prophanum distinguebant. {illeg} viz^t] Ad occasum brumalem erat conclave agnorum oblationis, ad ortum brumalem conclave panum propositionis, [sc. ubi fiebant] ad ortum æstivum conclave quo Hasmonæorum filij altaris lapides olim congesserant quos Græciæ reges prophanarant, ad occasum deniqꝫ æstivum conclave quo in balneum desendebatur [ardorisqꝫ conclave nuncupabatur]

8 Domus {incendij} erat concamerata et magna atqꝫ stratis saxeis [factis retractionibus {illeg}libus in {muro} undiqꝫ ad modum graduum] {illeg}] ubi seniores classes, \{illeg}/ paternæ [i.e. suæ] dormiebant, atrijqꝫ magni claves in potestate sua habebant. Et candidatorum Sacerdotij singulis erat pulvillus suus in pavimento, ubi spatium habebant quadratum unius cubiti.

9. – Si casus nocturnus alicui ipsorum obtingeret, egressus per cochleam descendebat in cryptoporticum, quæ sub sanctuario [inde \a cochlea/] deducebatur ({illeg} hinc inde [dispositi perpetuò] ardebant:) donec Balneo appropinquaret. [{Nam} fornices subterranei non erant san\c/ti.]

Cap {2 2} {illeg} {Ptosis} {illeg} erat quadratus ita ut singula latera essent cubitorum 500 Maximum spatium [extra muros] erat ab Austro; proximū ei ab oriente terti{illeg} ab Aquilone, minimum vero ab occidente. Eo loco ubi majus {illeg} major {erat} ejus usus.

2. Omnes {illeg} secundum templi consuetudinem intrant ingredi <36> ingredi {sic}untur via dextra ac circumeunt, egrediuntur autem via sinistrâ [i.e. porta adversa]

3 Ab interiore [hujus atrij magni] parte erat cancellata sepes [retiformis ex assamentis lignorum transversim contextis vel ] {illeg} altitudine decem palmorum. citra illam erat intermurale [planum solo atrij exterioris æquatum altitudine] decem cubitorum latitudine; ubi duodecim gradus quorum cuiqꝫ erat altitudo dimidij cubiti ut et retractio. Ita omnium graduum qui ibi erant, singulorum altitudo dimidij cubiti {illeg} \ac/ retractio sive projectura dimidij cubiti; præter eos qui ad porticum sive {pronaum} erant gradus. Ad omnia ostia et portas loci quod attinet, cujus altitudo viginti cubitorum erat, latitudo vero cubitorum decem, excepta porticus \[templi]/ porta. [quæ orientalis forsan porta erat atrij mulierum \vel {potius} templi/] Omnibus istius loci ostijs erant fores præterquam in porticu [Templi]

4 Atqꝫ omnes \[portarum]/ parietes quæ ibi erant, erant alti excepta præter parietem orientalem: qui sacerdos vaccam comburens stabat in cacumine montis Oliveti, atqꝫ collimabat ac intuebatur in portam ædis, eo tempore quo spargebat sanguinem [Porta orientalis itaqꝫ {illeg} superabat 22 cubitos altitudinem humilis erat ne prohiberet asperetum templi. A montis planitie ascendebatur 12 gradibus ad Atrium mulierum, inde 15 gr ad atrium Israelis, inde altitudine (saltem si non numero) quinqꝫ graduum ad atrium sacerdotum ascendebatur, qui omnes gradus sunt semicubitales & altitudinem 16 cubitorū efficiunt quam porta illa superare non debebat.]

5 Atrij Mulierum longitudo 135 cubitorum cum latitudine 135: atqꝫ quatuor conclavia erant in ejus quatuor angulis, singulaqꝫ cubitorum 40 quæ non erant contignata. Et sic etiam futura sunt quia dictū est [Ezek 46] et eduxit me at atrium exterius &c – Ad ortum brumalem erat conclave Nazaræorum – Ad ortum æstivum conclave lignorum – Ad occasum æstivum conclave leprosorum – Ad occasum brumalem conclave domus olei [ubi reponebant vinum et oleum] In summis lateribus læve ac planum erat atrium mulierum, sed id circumscripserunt interno podio \[a Gallery]/ ut mulieres supernè prospicerent, viri autem inferne ne miscerentur. Et quindecim gradus ascendebant ex \ejus/ medio in {atriū} Israelis, (respondentes 15 gradibus qui in Psalmis {occurrunt}) in quibus Levitæ canebant. Non erant gradus recti sed gyrati instar dimidij rotundæ areæ.

6 Erant autem conclavia [seu speluncæ {illeg}] infra atrium Israelis [altitudine illorum quindecim graduum] quæ apertæ erant atrio mulierum ubi Levitæ collocabant citharas & nablia cum cymbalis omniaqꝫ instrumenta musica. Atrium Israelis erat longitudine 135 cubitorum latitudine undecim. Similiter atrium sacerdotum erat longitudine 135 cubitorum latitudine 11. Trabium capita dividebant inter atrium Israelis & atrium sacerdotum. Rabbi Eliezer filius Iacobi {dixit ascensus} erat [{ex} \{illeg} atrium/ Sacerdotū vide Psal 134 Attollite manus vestras in sanctitate quem locum Chaldaee Paraphastes sic vertit Attollite manus vestras sacerdotes supra s{illeg} sanctum] ejusqꝫ altitudo cubitalis [ascensu duorum graduum] cui impositum erat pulpitum, atqꝫ in eo erant tres gradus singuli scil. cubiti dimidij [in quo pulpito sacerdotes {illeg} sunt populo & Levitæ tempore oblationis exercebant musicam ut {illeg} duobus in locis <37> exercebant Musicam hic et super 15 gradibus.] Reperitur Atrium sacerdotum [ob illos 5 gradus] duobus cubitis cum dimidio altius atrio Israelis Totius Atrij [sacer Israelis & sacerdotum] longitudo erat 187 cubitorum [viz^t Atrium Israelis 11, {illeg} sacerdotum 11, {illeg} latitudo Altaris 32 ad vestibulum 22, Templum 100, ultra 11] negligit igitur atrium mulierum] cum latitudine 135. Atqꝫ 13 adorationes [juxta effracturas tridecim in cancellata sepe] ibi erant.

Cap 3. sect 1. Altare fuit quaquaversum [in fundo] 32 cubitorū. exurgens [perpendiculariter] in cubitum, in cubitum coarctabatur, quod erat fundamentum sive pulvinus. Deprehendebatur [tunc] esse quaquaversum 30 cubitorum. Ascendebat [{illeg} /inde\] 5 cubitis & coarctabatur in cubitum, qui est circuitus. Deprehendebatur [tunc] esse 28 cubitorum quaquaversum. Locus cornuum ab omni parte unius cubiti: adeo ut quaquaversum remanerent 26 cubiti. Locus ambulationis sacerdotum, hinc inde unius cubiti: ita ut pateret circumquaqꝫ cubitos 24 locus pyræ. Dixit R. Iosua. Ab initio non patebat altare nisi {illeg} 28 cubitos quaquaversus. Contrahebatur et surgebat secundum istam mensuram donec redderetur locus focarius 20 cubit. quaquaversum. Cum autem ascendissent qui sustinuerant captivitatem addiderunt illi 4 cubitos a septentrione et quatuor cubitos ob occidente instar literæ {illeg} Gammæ quia dictum est Ezek 43. Ariel est duodecim cubitorum longitudine cum duodecim latitudine quadratum [ut illi exponebant quadifariam sex a centro ad quatuor quadraturas] –

2 Cornu autem inter Occidentem & austrum habebat duo foramina instar duarum narium exilium per quæ sanguis sparsus tum super pulvinum sive fundamentam occidentale tum super fundamentū australe descendebat & miscebatur uterqꝫ sanguis in canali ac effluebat in torrentē Kedron. –

3 Præterea ascensus erat ab austro altaris 32 cubitorum cujus latitudo 16 cubitorum [acclivis ille erat sine gradibus Exod 20    ]

4 Lapides tum ascensus tum altaris fuerunt e convalle Beth-Cerem – Eosdem extergunt bis annuatim, semel tempore paschatis iterum festo Tabernaculorum, templum verò semel sub ipsum pascha.

5 Ad septentrionem altaris \[Levit. 1.1]/ erant annulorum sex ordines quorum singuli continebant quatuor [annulos] ad quos mactabant victimas [ijs submissas & alligatas] Receptaculum Poparum erat ad septentrionem Altaris, atqꝫ in eo vel ad ipsum octo columnæ humiles, quibus erant imposita quadrata e cedro ligna his vero unci ferrei ita infixi erant ut ligna singula haberent ordines {illeg} tres e quibus sacrificia suspendebant ac pelle nudabant ad {mensas} {illeg} quæ inter columnas erant.

6 Labrum erat inter propylæum sive porticum et altare ac protrahebatur versus austrum. ffuit spatium 22 cubitorum inter Altare et Porticum, ubi gradus 12 erant. Altitudo gradus erat dimidij cubiti & retractio cubiti [sed quarti et octavi {gradus} retractio fuit duorū cubitorum, & supremi 4 vel 5 cubitorū]

7 Ostium erat altitudine 40 cubitorum, latitudine 20, [sine foribus]

Cap 4 {illeg} Templi altitudo erat 20 cubitorum & latitudo 10 cubitorū habebatqꝫ {illeg} binas inter et binas foris.

3 Ibi erant 38 thalami, 15 ad septentrionem 15 ad austrum [{illeg} \5/ in fundo utrobiqꝫ et tres \5/ medij et tres \5/ supremi] 8 ad occidentem [3 infimi tres medij et 2 supremi.] Et in angulo inter orientem et septentrionem erant 5 {portæ} Tres portas habebant singuli unam ad thalamum dextrum alteram ad thalamū sinistrū tertiam ad thalamum superiorem. Et in angulo inter orientem & septentrionem erant quinqꝫ portæ una ad thalamū dextrum; altera \[in ea]/ ad thalamum sibi impositum; tertia ad scalas cochlides [                  ] quarta versus ostiolum [quo ducebatur ex portico in ædem] ultima [inde] ad ipsam ædem.

Trabium capitibus ibi distinguebant inter sanctum & sanctum sanctorum et ultra trabes in ὑπερώῳ foramina erant per quæ catenis demittebant fabros in arcis &c]

6 Templum erat longitudine & latitudine \[in facie Portius]/ 100 cubitorum cum altitudine centum. Solum 6 cubitorum [supra Atrium Altaris]

7 Ab oriente ad occidentem \100 cubiti: [viz^t]/ murus pronai \erat/ 5, pronaus 11, \murus templi 6,/ fanum 40, velum 1, Adytum 20, murus \templi/ 6, thalamus 6, |&| murus thalami 5. Ab Aquilone ad Austrum 70 cubiti [viz^t] murus ipsius circuitus 5, circuitus [seu impluvium] 3 murus thalami 5, thalamus 6, murus templi 6 & fanum ipsum 20 cubitorū, murus templi 6 thalamusqꝫ 6 & murus thalami quinqꝫ, impluvium autem trium cubitorum, murus deniqꝫ quinqꝫ cubitorum. Porticus sive προνάον fano amplius erat ac latius quindecim cubitis a septentrione & sedecim cubitis a meridie: nomen ijs [sc. cubiculis \vel forte riscis/ hinc inde] secespitarum repositorium, quia eò congerebant secespitas [i.e. sacros cultros. Riscus est fenestella aut capsula intra parietem apparata. Classes sacerdotum 24 (de quibus 1. Chron 24) per vices murus suum abire solitus, cultros e singulis riscis {illeg} \Ibi 24 risci erant, singuli pro singulis custodijs {illeg}/ Ad hæc verba Sal{illeg} Iar. annotat: Vocatur locus חחלופות chillophoth quia ibi erant 24 \חלון/ risci singuli pro singulis custodijs; ubi reponebant secespitas sive cultros sacros & culter vocatur chilloph lingua Arabica] Nimirum Classes 24 (de quibus 1 Chron. 24) per vices munus suum obire solitas, cultros e singulis riscis ad sacrificia deprompsisse volunt Iudæi]

8 Totius Atrij longitudo erat 187 cubitorum, latitudo vero 135. Longitudo ab oriente ad occidentem 187 cubitorum – ita se habebat [Atrium Israel 11] locus incessus sive ambulacrum sacerdotum 11 cubitorum. Altare vero triginta duorum, spatium inter porticum et Altare 22 cub. {Ædes sive} fanum cū Adyto erat 100 cubitorum, deinde undecim cubiti a tergo loci ipsius propitiatiorij. Ab Aquilone ad austrum 135 cubit hoc modo Ab ascensu [Altaris] ad altaris extremitatem erant cubiti 62 ab Altari ad annulos 8 cubiti: reliqui [25{illeg}] {illeg} \{illeg} partim erant/ inter ascensum [altaris] {illeg} [australem {illeg}] partim spatium erant quod occupabant columnæ [{illeg} {illeg} versus.

9 Sex conclavia erant in Atrio, tria a {illeg} tria ab Austro. Quæ a septentrione, dicebantur conclave Salis, con{illeg} conclave lavantiū In conclavi salis reponebant sal pro oblationibus in {illeg}, ibi sale <39> condiebant pelles victimarum atqꝫ in ejus tecto erat balneum pro sacerdote magno in festo expiationis. Conclave lavantium erat ubi lavabant victimarum intestina, atqꝫ inde cochlea surgebat in tectum illius Hipparvæ. Quæ ad austrum erant conclave ligni [forsan lapidū & fuit conclave sacerdotis magni] conclave scaturiginis & conclave cæsi lapidis. – Horum trium tectū æquale fuit. Conclave scaturiginis quod attinet, ibi puteus fixus sive cavatus, atqꝫ trochlea imposita erat; unde aquas suppeditabant toti atrio [dulces ad potum, at {rivus} aquæ sive canalis ad ablutionem scaturit] In conclavi cæsi lapidis \[cujus dimidium fuit in loco sancto, dimidium in profano & quod duo \forum/ {habuit} ostio unum versus locū sancti alterū versus {profanum}]/ consessus magnus Israelis sedebat, ac etiam judicabat sacerdotes Sacerdos in quo inveniretur vitium induebat sibi atras [vestes] ac atris involvebat se, atqꝫ egressus abibat: cui verò non inerat vitium, induebat sibi vestes albas ac se albis involvebat, & ingressus \[in Atriū templi]/ ministrabat cum fratribus suis. FINIS. [Curia 71 Iudicum in conclavi lapidis cæsi sedebat & alibi duæ curiæ 23 judicum hoc ordine ut una sederet ad portam montis templi altera ad portam Atrij, reliquæ curiæ singulæ 23 Iudicum in omnibus Israelitarum civitatibus. {illeg} Si de re consulendum esset consulebat curiam suæ civitatis hîc si judices a majoribus ea de re instituti essent, de jure illis respondebant, sic minùs pergebant ad proximam suæ civitati curiam ubi si a majoribus accepissent, illis respondebant sic minus pergebant ad curiam quæ ad portam montis templi erat; ubi si instituti essent respondebant illis, sic minus pergebant ad eam quæ ad portam atrij erat, ac dicebat qui consultum venerat Sic elicui (e S.

Mons templi fuit ad septentrionem Ierusalem & mons quidem multo fuit major quam ut quingentis cubitis \undiqꝫ/ contineretur sed ulterius ipsius sanctitas non extendebatur. Capit cod. Middoth. apud Constantiū L'Empereur in Præfat.

Qui peracto cultu e templo se recipiebant non ita egrediebatur ut tergum ædi obverteret sed paulatim retrogradus exibat & pedetentin laterali gressu donec Atrio egressus esset. Hæc Maimonides apud Const. l Emp. in Præfat.

Cum ex lego Iudei tabernaculorum festum celebrarent de die ipsi sponte sua {illeg}nam vel potius nocturnam festivitatem addiderunt; eamqꝫ tanto cum gaudio in סוכה \{supra}/ cap. 5. sect 1. {illeg} \[{illeg} Tabernaculorū l. 5. sec 1. Talmud Bab]/ dicant. Qui non vidit gaudium {illeg} {hauriendo} denominati, nunquam vidit gaudium. Locus <40> huic solennitati in Atrio mulierum assignabatur ubi e podio mulieres; viri autem in cuneis ipsius pavimenti spectabant et audiebant illa quæ citato capite enarrantur. Section{illeg}e 4 istius capitis pij in spectantium oculis saltantes & faces manibus præferentes cantiones & hymnos cecinisse dicuntur: similiter Levitæ quamplurimis imò infinitis instrumentis lusisse: sacerdotes verò tubis clanxisse perhibentur. Hujusmodi per multam imò per totam noctem extendebantur. Quinetiam in hisce gaudijs singulas festi tabernaculorum producebant noctes (nisi instrumenta cap 5 sect 1 סוכה die sanctiori interdicta exceperis; de quibus consulenda Gemara istius sectionis:) atqꝫ ita somnum capiebant, ut istinc non decederent plurimi sed quemadmodum loquitur Gemara fol. 53 dormitarent alij aliorum humeris innitentes. Porrò isti celebritati ab Aqua haurienda inditum nomen fuit, quia simul ac hausta fuisset aqua magno cum gaudio, eaqꝫ ut et vino libavissent Altare: statim sese ad nocturnam illam festivitatem, ubi illud conceptum gaudium prorogabatur, conferebant. Vnde R. Iosua filius Chananjæ in Gemara folio 53 supra citato, abijsse ac sese recepisse narrat ad juge sacrificium inter duas vesperas dehinc et ulterius ad gaudium loci ab haurienda aqua dicti. De qua aqua cap 4 סוכה /&c צלוחית טל והב מחוק\ sub finem quidam phialam [vel potius urnam aut ollam] auream quæ tres heminas contineret e schiloa{illeg} (fonte prope Ierusalem) implebat, quam ad portam aquarum (quæ in atrio erat) delatam taratantara et clangore excipiebant. De libamine isto (non enim omnium eandem esse rationem docent commentatores in cap. 2 Maimonides de opere oblationum parte tertia חוקהיד) hæc ferme traduntur. in occidentali altaris perte versus austrū duo libæa sive simpla fuisse quorum unum contineret vinum; alterum aquam de qua acta fuit: idqꝫ in hunc finem quo sacerdos, effusa aqua e libæo aquæ in libæum vini & vice versa, liquorem per duo libæorum foramina inferiora in altaris duo columbaria sive foramina & veluti aqua ductus transmitteret ad ipsius profundas quasdam concavitates {illeg} Hic observavit Maimonides mysteria quædam {significari}: & vulgò inde ab ipse Mose hanc festivitatem arcessunt. Vide 1 Sam. 7 {illeg} vers 3 dein \ubi Samuel postquam quoddam {illeg} fit gaudij/ jubet aquam haurire et coram domino effundere ad {illeg} {illeg} ad {expressioni} gaudij. Vide et Isa 12.3. Hæc Constantinus l'Empereur in Middoth p 68 cap 2. sect 5. pag 68.
