The Passover was a solemn Ordinance of God; now in Exod. 12.8. there is a command given to eat it with bitter herbs; 1we supply the word herbs; but the word is only bitterness, or Res amarae. The Chaldee, Arabic and Samaritan keep the Hebrew word without any addition of herbs. Here is only a General Rule given, but what those bitter things should be, whether herbs, roots, &c. there is no determination. Hence then, I might go into several houses at that time, where they had prepared in one house such bitter herbs as Succory, Wild Lettuce, (which they say they used); in another house Wormwood, and Horehound; in another Centaury, Germander; in another bitter Almonds and Gentian, &c. so mention twenty more differences, yet if Bitternesses were observed, the rule was kept. Again, shall these bitternesses be boiled or raw, beaten into a sauce like our Mustard, as Scaliger saith the Charoseth was? here is nothing determined; be sure there be bitternesses, and the general Rule is kept.
