Whereupon the Hebrewes (as Sol. Iambi here) doe obferve that there it no order of fernwr and latter in the Law; but things done after , are sometimes fet before. The reason why it is men- tioned here , is because of the fecund Paffeover kept the 14. day of the fecond monethaverfe t t. which was after the forefaid mutter, after the de- dication of the Altar andordination of the Le- sites. And the cause why God commanded then to keepe the Paffeover in the Wilderneffe,wasfor that by the first inflitution they were bound to keepe it when they C0ntf into the land of Canaan, Dead.' 2.2 5. and therefore without fpeciall war- rant , theywould not have kept it in the delert : neither kept they any moe but this, till they came into the land, Iof 5.
