This Text hath reference to a memorable History. History is an useful and delightful kind of instruction. Among Histories none are comparable to the Histories of sacred Scripture: and that in their antiquity, rarity, variety, brevity, perspicuity, 1harmony, and verity. This last is the excellency of the other excellencies: and it commends an History much more then all the rest; For antiquity, rarity, variety, brevity, perspicuity, harmony, and other like excellencies without verity, are but as so many pearls in a blind eye, which make it the more deformed.
