bringeth his Judgements to Light in the Morning And the Scripture calls for Judgeing in the Morning or before the Judges Head or Heart is Clouded As the Iews expound That saying of Solomon Wo to Thee O Land where Princes Eat in the Morning when they should be Praying or Judging Which may lead us up To the First Judgement Which they place at the 2 d Morning of Creation When the Lord did Judge his Own Acts of the Day before As Examine your selves in Bed and he still and That Judgement did Separate the Waters on the Right Hand and Left Sending some Down and Taking Others Up Above the Firmament As the First Emblems of Election and Reprobation As the Goats of Seir the Goat and Lambs of Rachel the Sheep as in Heb with Her Benjamin or Sâ—n of the Right Hand As Leah the Left But at the Passover the Goats were accepted as the Sheep and some at all New Moons and Solemn Eeasts for Sin-offerings But the First Judgement was about the 40th hour of Creation or 42. As That Number is For Judgements and Punishments in all the Bible As 40 Stripes and 40 Dayes and 40 years and 42 Months or 42 Mansions As 42 Children by the Bears of Elisha And 42 is 6 times 7 or 7 times 6 and so the Great Crisis of 6 and 7 which is Rest and Motion As Fine Twined Linnen called Six in Heb. Doubled on the Tabernacle Door or Turned Every 6 hours Turn the Sun and Moon at Cardinal Points or Quarters of Heaven called Spirits in Heb. As if Angels stood at the 4 Quarters of Heaven or 4 Corners of the Earth as 4 Watches and 4 Winds Turning the Hour Glass of Time Which is but a change and flux of Mite which is Motion or Mites or Moats in Heb. The Vppermost part of the Dust As Skie doth also signifie in that Language As if All the Tides of Time and the Ocean were but Turning an Hour-Glass of the Moon and Earth about the Guilt Rundle of the Sun And as One goes up it empties out the Moats or Sand or little Tinning atomes in Hebr To the Other So that When the Moon is highest the Earth is fullest or the Waters Highest in the Sea Or its Central Fire makes it like a Boyling Pot whose water leaves the bottom as the 64th of Esay with Iob and the Psalms 6 hours Turn the Sun and Moon and 4 times 6 Turn Light into Darknesse Which was first Done at the 25tâ— hour of Creation And 25 is the Lower Root of 666. That great number of Change and Motion to the Sun Moon World Church and All as anon 6 times 6 hours bring up the Sun of the 2 d Day and 10 times 6 the 3 d. Which Turneth downwards at the 65 t and 66 the signal Number in the Jewish year of 24 and 42. 6 times 6 is 36 and 10 times 36 or 360 Hours bring up the Full Moon and so many Dayes the Full Year To the Eastern Nations Aegypt added 5 Days and at length 6 Hours And this became the Julian year which Caesar had from Aegypt 1461 Aegyptian years of 365 Dayes make 1460 Julian Which they called the Great Cynick or Sothiack year As at the Doâ—-star This was just 200 more then 1260 which is 3 and an half 360. Months in the East had 30 dayes apiece and so we finde 150 Dayes in the 5 first Months of the Flood and 1260 Days in 42 months But they say that if the New Moon were seen in the 30th Day It was counted for the first of the Month following But of late the Jews go by Mean Motions and account 59 Dayes For 2 Months Short of the True Middle Motion by an Hour and about 29 minutes And though they found a way to reconcile their Lunar months To the Solar year we need it not For God hath bounded out our way by Dayes when Ever the year began For the first 14th Day was the Passover and 15th the Feast of Unleavened Bread for 7 Days more and 16th for the First fruit Omer and the 50th next was Pentecost And the Feast of Trumpets was the first Atonement the 10th and Tabernacles 15th of the 7th month of their year when Ever it began Which From Aegypt was about the New Moon next the Vernal Equinox which must be Past they say before the Passover But we need not dispute it Though it might be cleared by their best Authors and by Anatolius and Eusebius As of late by Petitus With the Roman Yoak they shunned so by Crucifying Christ They were forced To the Julian Form also Yet they kept their Feasts by Moons and made them Tables much like Ptolomies In other things they could admit the Julian year and the rather because the 6 odd Hours in single years did keep their Equinox at a Cardinal point or one of their Great Watches But others kept the 6 odd Hours Till they made a Day and so the 4th year was Bissextile from the 6 t Calends of March or 24th of February Doubled That the Dayes of the week or Feriae might keep their wonted letters in the Common Cycle And there is Greater Harmony by Julian years in 4. then seemeth to be known to them that first used it For as the 4th Watch of Creation brought up the First Light and the 4th Day the First Sun and the 4th Week the Moon to meet the Sun again so the 4th Year brings them to meet in the same Day of the Week and is not 2 minutes more or less then 14 dayes above the Jubilie of 49 Moons Which still return To the same Day of the Week And 8 years have 3 minutes more then a full month of Weeks above 98 Moons Or a day and half with 41 minutes less then 99. So that in 8 score years they want but one day and one Hower of meeting as before and in 1600 years but 10 days and 10 Howers So that meeting on the 11th of May and 10 Houers after noon in the First of Christ They met again in 1601 the First of May just at noon And parting the years of Christ by 4 and so the Julian Period After 9 or rejecting 9 The Remainder sheweth how long the year proposed is After a Bissextile And the Quotient sheweth that the Sun and Moon met so many fortnights from their former meeting As there be Vnits in that Quotient Which being added To the year proposed and All divided by 7 The Remainder is the Day of the Week for the First of May And by consequence for the 2 d of Octob. 3 d of Ap. and July 4th of Septemb and Decemb. 5th of June and 6th of March and Novemb. For the year proposed And for the first 8. 15. 22. and 29. of January following and so forward in the next year also But if nothing remain at this Division by 7 The first of May and every Day aforesaid is the 7th Day of the Week the Jewish Sabbath Thus we get the
Days of the Week for 2 years together and the Mean Synods and Luminations Which are Equall and may differ from the Visible by 14 Hours or as much as the Longest Day at Jerusalem The Great Sun Dyall To the World And for Eclipses also The Moons Latitude is much alike in 4 years and the Suns Anomaly returns in 4 years And 4 Julian years have just 1461 Days As the Great Egyptian Soth had 1461 years But if any choose another way of Epact The Arabick Lunar year is just 10 dayes and 21 hours less then the Solar of 365 dayes 5 hours and 48 minutes But the Common Julian Greater then 12 Moons by 10 dayes 10 hours 10 halfs and 10 minutes And the Lunar month about a day and half half hour and quarter more then a month of 4 Weeks And though the Lunar year is thus too long by 10 or 12 minutes yet it suits the Julian which is so much also too long So that the Equinox is changed from Evening to Morning in 65 years Which may be one of many reasons for the 65 days of the year in Canaan which Ptolomy placeth at 65 degrees of Longitude And a Great man did make the Suns Radius 64 or 65 times bigger then the Earths And many make the Moons Greatest or Mercuries Least distance to be 65 of the Earths Radij And the Suns Mean Distance 1288 and Greatest 1334 or 1335. As Longomâ—nt Which is but 2 more then twice 666 or 1332. or half 65 more then 20 times 65. And before the Flood 2 were born at 65 Good Enochs Father and Son One After it Eber at Arphaxads 65th Twice 65 is 130. and 130 Hours of Creation brought up Adam As 130 years Seth Set in Abels room As Tabernacles After Pentecost 130 days And in 130 years the Equinox changeth an whole day As 12 Howers in 65 years Seth at 130 and Enos in 235 which make 365 and Then they began to Proclaim the Nune of Jehovah as in Exod. 34. in a way of Churches And the Paschall Lambs to represent the Ch were set apart and Tryed on the 10th Day of the First month Whose Noon is Hour 234 235. And 235 Moons do make the common Cycle which they call the Golden Number of 19 years or Moons 235. Which bring the Synod To the Same Day again But He that useth the former Rule hath little want of other Cycles Enos at 235 and his Sonn at 325 which is 235 Turned and as 235 Hours Tyed up the P. Lambs So 325 came to the morning Sacrifice of the Passover So that These 2 represent the mourning Ch. of God which is still counted but as Sheep for slaughter As the name of Kainan may intimate As Kain and his Son Irad the Beast or Kine in our English Hebrew Kainan Mourning Mahalael Blessing God At his Fathers 70. Type of all the 70 through the Bible As 70 Hours To the Great Minha of the 3 d Day Which beginneth with the Jubilie of 49 Hours 7 by 7 Return and Rest Which are both in the Word Sabbath And the first 3 d day of Creation brought up the first Living things as Herbs Thy Dew is the Dew of Herbs and the Earth shall cast out her Dead and Thence it might be the day of Resurrection As for cleansing the Leper on the 3 d and 7th and Defiled by the Dead For After 2 dayes he will revive us and the 3 d will quicken us And the First Fruit Omer was Heaved up on the 3 d Day after the Pass-over As Christ Raised on the 3 d day and its Evening Sacrifice at 70 hours As Mahalael 70 years after Kainan One of them was Born 1260 years the other 1332 before the Flood One dyed in the year 1235 and the other 1290. the Times of the Mourning and Rejoycing Churches of God in all ages The First Fruit Omer on the 6th Day After the P. Lambs Tyed As Adam came up on the 6th Day of Creation And the Morning Sacrifice of the 6th Day was at Hour 135 As the Evening of the 8th For Circumcision and the Christian Sabbath was at Hour 187. And from Pentecost To the Great Hozanna Days 135. As 187 in all To the Great Atonement And 187 between the Vernall and Autumnall Equinox in Hipparchus and Ptolomy As 187 in the Great Feast of Asuerus in Ester and 187 Chapters in the Pentateuck And the Temple Courts 187 Cubits and 135. Mahalaels name in Heb is 136. and his Son Jared was born 135 and lived 187 After Kainan And as 70 Hâ—urs are signall in the 3 d Day and 70 Days in the 3 d month for Pent so 90 Hours for noon of the 4th Day which was first to the Sun at Creation and 90 days bring up the 4â—h month and 90 years brought up the 4th man Kainan At his Fathers 90. So the 8th Methusela begat Lamech at 187 and Lamech Noah at 182. which is twice 91. As 182 and 187 Hours are Morning and Evening Sacrifice of the 8th Day for Rest or Noah Kainans Death from Lamechs Birth 361 as his Birth before Methusela 362 and twice 365 before Noah 365 before Jareds End And as Lamech lived 777 So Kainan was twice 666 before the Flood 669 After Enochs 365. As Mahalaels Death before the Flood 365. And so from the Flood or Arphaxads Birth To Abraham in Canaan 365. As the Jews reckon their Veines and Negative Precepts As Days in a year and Hours before the morning of the First Fruit Omer Which was 135 Hours after the day of Tryall Which began 1335 Hours before the Morning Sacrifice of Pentecost 1260 Hours after the Preparation to the â—assover or First of Hamans Lots And at Pentecost the Lambs and Great Peace-Offerings of the Church were Heaved up with the First Fruits of Wheat an Emblem of the Churches Rising in so many dayes or years As in Daniel and the Revelation And now seeing all these Harmonies to meet in Holy Enoch who was Heaved up as the First Fruit Omer After as many years as Hours To its Morning or Days in a year and begetting his Son at 65 as days to Pent and many other 65 in the Jewish year And the next came up at 187 as Days before Atonement and between the Vernall and Autumnalâ— Equinox We need not doubt to begin our Great Jewish year at Enoch and to go forward To all the Feasts and Fasts of their year Till at length we come To the Greatest Feast of Tabernacles and Release which we are seeking Though it be not easie to fix the season of Creation which is not agreed in the Talmud but some place it At the Great Day of the 2 d Temple and the New Jerusalem in the latter end of the 6th month And they have a kinde of Tradition as if Adam found his First Days shortning and the Sun Declining As the Psalm for one afflicted cryeth Thou hast shortned my Days and I am like a shadow that Declineth As Adam At his Fall Which
4 in breadth do make 1320. And so many days do make 44 months and beginning at Nisan they end at the 9th month of the 4th year which had the Great Feast of Dedication for the Temple freed from the Rams or Goats hair of Antiochus Or beginning in Tizri as in Civils They bring up All the 3 years Tithes and Offerings with the First Fruits and First born and both Solemn Confessions and Doxologies of Deut. 26. At the Pentecost of the 4th year Which was 1320 days After the Passover of the 4th year before it As 1335 days After the Feast of Trumpets or the Trumpet of Release As 1335 Hours After the first Hour of the day of Trvall And so many years come from the Tabernacle Reared To the Great Dedication in the Machabes Death of Antiochus or Nicanor As we may find at the Temple Gate Nicanor If the 3 Outer Coverings are equall of 330 by 4 in each They make 3960 Cubits 40 short of Ezechiels 4000 As the 40 years After Christ to the City Sacked And to our Saviours First Acting in the Temple there are just 3960 years of the World in Scaliger and Those that follow him And from the Flood so many years come out about 1666 now coming and so do the 2 Utter Coverings from Jeroboams Flood As a Type of that to Fill the Breadth of Thy Land O Emanuel which come out at 1666. The Badgers Skins as uppermost may be Largest And 1335 as in Daniel But 1320 come from Christs Being in the Temple or the Temples End To the Templers End in one day and the Popes Flying to Avignion At the shaking Times of Ottoman and the Imperial States Protesting against the Popes Right in Electing Emperours And from the Great Apostacy in Julians days They come to the Times in which we live But we come to the Temple Measures And if Josephus rightly place the 2 d Walls on the first Pillars called Solomons Walks or Porches in our Saviours Time They were 500 Cubits every side As the Sept. Vulgarlat read Ezech. 42. not 500 Kanes as others So that All the Sides of the Square did make 2000. As the Levites Suburbs the Distance of the Ark and the Sabbath days Journey and the Square Cubits in the Tabernacle before the Oracle And the years from Abraham to our Saviour 2000. We shall begin As They Entred with the Sun from East to West and so from Haran at first and from Moab Over Jordan and from Babylon and Persia With its Royall Shushan on the first Eastern Gate of the 2 d Temple called Shushan 80 Cubits to the Rising of the Womens Court. As 80 days before the Woman came Thither of a Woman Child As Zion of her Daughter in Mic. 4. The Man-childe was not Born till her Last Throwes as themselves express on Es 66. As 80 Hours of Creation before the Moon and Sun did meet For they were not seen till the 4th Morning And 80 years From Shushan and Cyrus to Ezra Seperating the strange Women and making This Womens Court called Aezra from Ezra Help and so they Blessed as the Ps taught them when the Women or the Mourners took the Left hand Walk as others did the Right The Lord Bless thee out of Zion and send thee Help Out of his Holy Place though thou may not come in it But only look towards it As Jonah did when he was cast out of His Holy Place or Presence The 80th year from Cyrus Taking Babylon As he is called K. of Babylon in Ezra 5. And Thence he gave the Temple Vessels falleth within the 80th Olymp or the 8th of Artaxerxes Long and just 490 years before the Last of Olymp 202 d. Agreed for our Saviours Passion by the Great Earth-make and the strange Eclips in Phlegon and many others The 13 First Cubits in the Gate-house as Ezech. 40. 11. may represent the First Light coming up at 13 Hours of Creation and the 13 Days of their year before the Passover and the first 13 weeks in the year between the Solstice and the Tropick As the 13 months of the year and the 13 years between the Temple Founded and Finished or at least Revived in the 2 d of Darius in the 65 t Olympiad And the 65 Cubits before the Holy Courts As 65 Hours to the Noon of the 3 d Day and the 65 Days in the Jewish year as before and 65 years between the 2 d of Darius in the 65 t Olympiad and the 7th or 8th of Artax When Ezra came up at Olympiad 80 and 80 years After Zerubbabel from about 80 Degrees of Longitude To Jerusalem at 65. As the first Fruits of Emanuel in Esay 7 were 65 years before Jerusalem was freed from Those 2 Kingdoms and our Emanuel 65 years before the Christian Persecutions and the Roman Times Shadowed in the Cuthites contending with Nehemiah Who came after Ezra full 11 years and so there were 11 Cubits in the first Verge of the Holy Courts they called Heb Between The Hill and the Help As Heaven After Hell with its Staires and Latices As the Canticles allude in the Gentiles or Unclean Vnder the Staires and behind the Latices Then came the Womens Court and Ezra's Great Work was To Seperate the Women As their Ruine came by Women Esay 3 d and 32 d with Ezra and Nehemiah just 135 Cubits Long and in the Talmud Square As 135 Hours of Creation before Any Woman Or To the First Morning of Adam and From Tying up the Lambs to Heaving up the First Omer were 135 Hours As 135 Days between the Pentecost and Palms or Great Hozannah Closing the Tabernacles And 135 years To the Great Era of the Greeks and Jews Great Friend Nicanor And 135 more to Antiochus and their Great Enemy Nicanor As the Gate Nicanor At this Womans Court 135 Cubits from Hell and the Death of Nicanor on the 13th of Adar 135 Dayes After the Day of Solemn Covenant both of Men and Women in This Womens Court At the close of the Tabernacles Nehemiah 8 and 9. As 135 years before from the First Temple Founded to Joash who Repaired it From the Gate of Nicanor The Inward Court of Israel and the Priests In length 187 Cubits that is 135 and 52 for Nehemiahs Days As Weeks in a year and 187 Hours came to the Evening Sacrifice of the 8th Day For Circumcision and the Christian Sabbath And 187 Days To the Great Atonement As Autumnal Equinox 187 Days After the Vernal And the Great Feast in Ester was 187 days And the Pentatcuch 187 Chapters And 187 years From the 2 d Temple Begun or Finished To Alexanders Reign or Coming To it Or Taking Babylon and Dying at it much about 11 years before the First Nicanor As there were 11 Cubits From the Gentiles Court To That of Nicanor and 11 more from the Gate of Nicanor To the Levits Railes and Ducans parting Israel and the Priests As Twice 11 Before the Altar Twice 11
