Your dutifull and loving Son and Nephew ROGER DRAKE THE PREFACE AS all the Promises Prophesies Ceremonies Genealogies c. had a special reference unto Iesus Christ as their body center end accomplisher so doth this our Chronologie which begins in the first and ends in the second Adam To him we desire to conduct the Reader and there to leave him even with Christ who is the only aim hope and rest of all true Believers The designe of the Authour was as much as may be to find out Truth for his own satisfaction and to clear up truth unto the meanest capacities who by the help of this poor little peece may in the cast of an eye finde out almost infinite Truths which without the helpe of these parallel Tables will haply puzzle the best Chronologers and be almost impossible for meaner capacities to collect by their own industry By this it will appear that innumerable and that most solid consequences may be enforced from Scripture grounds which yet appear not in the surface of the Text but may be digged out of the Mine of the Scriptures by pious study and industry And in a word By vertue of this helpe thou maiest read the whole Scripture with abundance of delight and profit as being able to referre every remarkable passage to its proper time and Date Who knows not how necessary Chorography and Chronologie are to History from which if you abstract Time and Place it seems to be without Head or Tail and sounds more like a Fable then a true Narrative For thy better understanding and improving the ensuing Chronological Tables know that the Norma or Compasse by which wee steere in measuring that vast body of Time from the Creation unto Christ is the lives of the Patriarchs Kings and Prophets as they ly single or parallel together which indeed are well stiled by learned Broughton The Day star of the Narration and afterwards the years of captivitie and Daniels seventy weeks of yeers which we fully beleeve do expire with the death of Christ Every page contains seven weeks that is nine and forty years in which where the lives are single or thin we note the succession of them two three or four times in the same page yea in the first page the line of Adams life is noted five times one hundred and thirty years of his life being past before any Patriarch is joyned as parallel with him In the next columne to their lives either single or parallel are noted the Sabatical years or the weeks of the world the letter S being affixed to the top of the colume and in the same colume immediately under the letter S are noted the Jubilies of the World and afterwards of Canaan which run parallel with the Jubilees of the World In the third colume noted at the top with the letter W you have the years of the World marked at every ten years distance The hundred and twenty years of Gods patience
weeks of the World Secondly for the superstructure if the foundation fall not I have reason to be confident thereof since its evident both by ocular Demonstration and by the common Principles of Arithmetick by which it may be proved as firmly and clearly as any summe or total may by examining the particulars yet do I not presume to bind any by my poore judgement but he may by the help of these Tables follow what date he please by adding or substracting the just difference of yeers between his and my Aera For example He who beleevs Abraham was born when Terah was seventie yeers old Let him substract sixtie yeers out of my date of Abrahams birth and he hath the just yeer of the World according to his own account Again he who beleevs the Promise was made to Abraham being seventy five yeers old Let him add five yeers to my date of the World and he hath his own account So of the rest It s Truth I seek and shall be willing to learn of any nor desire further to be credited than Truth shall bear me out DIFFICULTIES IN SACRED CHRONOLOGIE CONTROVERTED BY THE LEARNED 1. SHem was neither Noahs first-born nor youngest Son as appears by comparing Gen. 9.24 and 10.21 He was born then when Noah was not five hundred but five hundred and two yeers old as appears by the birth of Arphaxad Gen. 11.10 Noah was six hundred and two yeers old two yeers after the Floud At the same time Shem was one hundred yeer old substract one hundred out of six hundred and two there rest five hundred and two the just age of Noah when Shem was born Japhet was the eldest Shem the second and C ham the youngest Genesis 9.24 Onely Shem is first named for dignity Genesis 5.32 2. The Promise was made to Abraham in Vr and not in Haran when he was seventy year old and not seventy five That it was not in Haran but in Vr appears by Acts 7.2 3. that it was not when Abraham was seventy five yeer old is as evident because he was but seventy five yeers old at his departure from Haran where yet he dwelt till his Fathers death Acts 7.4 Gen. 12.4 Whence by the way note that Abraham was born not the seventieth but the hundred and thirtieth yeer of Terah at the soonest He was seventie five yeer old when Terah was two hundred and five yeer old at his death substract seventie five out of two hundred and five there rest an hundred and thirtie the just age of Terah when Abraham was born Abraham then was not Terahs first born but is named first as Shem was for dignitie Gen. 11.26 Now to prove the Promise was made when Abraham was seventie yeers old Note that the Israelites went out of Egypt precisely to a night at the end of four hundred and thirtie yeers Exod. 12.40 41. All which time Abraham and his seed sojourned in strange Lands and were afflicted Foure hundred yeers of this his seed was a sojourner Gen. 15.13 that is Isaack and his Posteritie Acts 7.6 Isaack was born and so began to sojourn when Abraham was an hundred yeers old The four hundred yeers then began at the end of Abrahams hundredth yeer and end at the going out of Egypt at which time also the four hundred and thirty yeers expire and therefore must begin thirtie yeers before the foure hundred yeers that is thirtie yeers before Abraham was an hundred yeer old Substract then thirtie out of an hundred there rest seventie the just age of Abraham when the Promise was made to him in Vr Whence its further evident the Promise was made to him at Spring namely the fourteenth or fifteenth day of the Moneth Abib They who begin the four hundred yeers at Ishmaels mocking besides a plain errour leave us at great uncertainties since there is no Scripture-evidence at all when Ishmael mocked Isaack and supposing as they would five yeer after Isaacks birth it makes but a difference of five yeers and the Aera of the Promise five yeers later 3. Concerning the Aera or beginning of the Babylonish captivity Note there were foure captivities First in Nebuchadnezzars first yeer which concurred with the third and fourth yeer of Jehoiakim Jer. 25.1 and Daniel 1.1 The second in the seventh yeer of Nebuchadnezzar The third in the eighteenth yeer of Nebuchadnezzar The fourth in the twentie third yeer of Nebuchadnezzar Jer. 52.28 29.30 The Nations were to serve him his sonne and his grand-child Jer. 27.7 That is Nebuchadnezzar Evâ—lmerodach and Belshazzar I see not then why the first captivitie should not begin the seventie yeers at which time divers of the Princes and part of the Holy Vessels were carried to Babylon Dan. 1.2 3. The desolation of Ierusalem Dan. 9.2 then began as also of the whole land and was at last accomplished under the fourth captivity after the death of Gedaliah so that the whole land lay waste not above fourty seven yeers God in mercy so moderating that great affliction of his people They who begin the captivity at the carrying away of Iechonias must of necessitie conclude that some of the Vessels and Princes were held captive above seventy yeers And they who begin it not till the eleventh of Zedekiah go likewise against the words of the Prophet Jer. 29.10 who foretold but seventie yeers captivitie to them that were carried away with Jechonias of which indeed about seven or eight yeers were past when they came to Babylon Jer. 25.1 and 27.6 7. and Daniel 1.1.3 4. The greatest controversie is about the beginning of Daniels seventy weeks Had not profane Chronology contradicted none I think would have doubted but that the seventy weeks of yeers began when the seventy yeers of captivity ended But the great difficulty is how to reconcile sacred and profane Chronologie To me the Scripture seems to carrie it strongly that the seventy weeks immediately followed the seventy yeers which method ccordingly I have followed in this Chronologie and that upon these grounds 1. From the age of those who saw both Temples finished Ezra 3.12 compared with Haggai 2.3 Suppose they were but ten yeer old at Zedekiahs captivity add to that at least sixty two yeers of the seventy yeers captivity beginning eight yeers before and to this an hundred and eleven yeers from the first of Cyrus to the sixth of Darius Nothus when the second Temple was finished These men must be at least an hundred eighty and three yeers old and so exceed the age of Isaack 2. It appears further from the age of Ezra his Father Seraiah was slain by Nebuchadnezzar in the eleventh yeer of Zedekiah 2 King 25.18.21 compared with Ezra 7.1 and he with his brother Jehozadac went into captivitie 1 Chron 6.14 15. Suppose now Ezra to be a posthuma proles and that he was carried captive in his mothers belly in the eleventh yeer of Zedekiah you must make him at least sixty two yeers old at the end of the
fiftie and five Out of which substract three yeers and an half there rests just three thousand nine hundred fiftie and two currant in which yeer of the world according to us our Savior suffered Now because Chronologers place the death of Christ in the yeer of the world 3982. and the 202. Olympiad or the 808. Olympick yeer just thirty yeer later then our date the great difficulty will be how to reconcile this difference For salving whereof we must desire the Reader to take especial notice of that grand errour committed by many in sacred Chronologie who make the birth of Abraham to fall out sixty yeers sooner than indeed it did As supposing him to be born in the seventieth yeer of his Father Terah whereas indeed he was not born till Terah was an hundred and thirty yeer old as I have evidenced in the second difficulty Secondly note that of this sixty yeers they loose five yeer in the date of the Promise which was made when Abraham was seventy and not seventy five yeer old as I have cleared in the same Paragraph and so with them it falls five yeer later then with us Thirdly note further that out of this sixtie they loose eight yeers more in the date of the Babylonish Captivity which with them falls out in the raign of Iechonias but with us in the third yeer ending and the fourth yeer beginning of Iehoiakim namely eight yeer sooner with us then with them to which add two yeers more wherein we differ from them occasionally in the raigns of the Kings who sometimes raign a few yeers with their Fathers sometimes begin not their raign till after their Fathers decease as in the Chronologie it self we shall make plainly appear and desire no further to be credited then we bring Scripture grounds for every branch of our Chronology I say these five eight and two yeers being added together make fifteen yeers which being substracted from sixtie there rest fourtie and five yeers the just difference between their and our date of the Babylonish Captivitie The Captivitie falling with us five and fourty yeers later then with them and their date of our Saviours death falling thirty yeers later then with us Both which being added together make up 75. yeers the space from the first yeer of Cyrus his universal Monarchie and the 10. yeer of Artaxerxes Longimanus from which yeer to the death of Christ they reckon 490. yeers and others reckon from the 7. yeer of the same Artaxerxes who they suppose gave Commission to Nehemiah in the twentieth yeer of his Raign Nehemiah 2.6.8 Our return from captivitie An. M. 3466 Thence to the 10 of Artaxerxes Longimanus 74 Thence to the end of Daniels weeks 490 Total 4030 About which yeer or 4027. if the half week be substracted our Saviour suffered if their account be right and therefore to make it even with our account substract the former 75. which contain the 45. yeers difference about the captivitie and 30. yeers difference about Christs death and three yeers and a half for the last half week There rest just 3952. being the yeer of the world in which according to us our Savior suffered According to some these 75. yeers should reach but to the seventh yeer of Artaxerxes Longimanus Their return 45. yeers soner then ours 3421 To the 10. of Artaxerx Long. 74 To the end of Daniels 70. weeks 490 Total 3985 Out of which substract 3 yeers and a half from Daniels last half week There rests 3982. the yeer of the World in which our Saviour suffered according to Chronologers being just thirtie yeers later then our account which fals out 3952. Our returne from captivity An. M. 3466 Thence to the 6. of Darius Nothus 110 Thence to the end of Daniels weeks 490 Total 4066 About which time they who beginne Daniels weeks at the 6. of Darius should make the destruction of Ierusalem to fall out or at least Anno Mundi 4063. currant supposing it hapned in the midst of Daniels last week but the former 111. being substracted the parcels whereof are 45. yeers difference of the capivitie 30. yeers difference of the death of Christ and 36. yeers after Christs death to the destruction of Ierusalem together with 3 yeers and a half for the last half week as before There rests just 3952. the yeer of the world in which our Saviour suffered according to our account Their return 45. yeers sooner then ours 3421. Thence to the sixth of Darius Nothus 110. Thence to the end of Daniels 70. weeks 490. Total 4021. Out of which substract 3. yeers a half for Dan. last half week there rests 4018 currant in which yeer of the world Christ should suffer according to them who begin Daniels weeks at the sixth of Darius when the Temple was finished out of which 4018 substract 66. yeers the parcels whereof are 30. y. difference about Christs death and 36. yeers after to the destruction of Ierusalem There rests 3952 the just yeer of the world in which Christ suffered according to our account With them if Daniels weeks immediatly succeeded the captivity our Saviour should suffer An. m. 3907. as is evident by adding 490. to 3420. that is 43. yeer soner then out date if you substract from 3910. being the total the 3. yeers and a half for Daniels last half-week that is the twentieth yeere of his raigne with his father but the tenth yeer of his sole raigne But how unprobable this opinion is let the impartiall Reader â—udge and that because Artax Longim was an enemy to the Jews and hindred the building of the Temple Ezra 4.7.23 which to make good I argue thus There were but three Kings of Persia who had the name of Artaxerxes First Ahasuerus the Husband of Queen Hester mentioned Ezra 4.6 and in the book of Hester he was the same with Xerxes with this mans raigne the date of Daniels weeks cannot agree Secondly In the twelfth yeer of his raigne he plotted with Haman the ruine of the Jews Hoster 3.8 Thirdly he raigned not full twenty one yeers whereas its apparent that he who gave Nehemiah commission raigned at least thirty two yeers Neh. 13.6 The second was Artaxerxes Longimannus sonne to Xerxes mentioned as before Ez. 4.7 by whose means the building of the Temple was hindred till the raigne of Darius Nothus Ezra 4.23.24 But before his dayes I mean before his twentieth yeer who gave Nehemiah commission the Temple was builded as is evident Neh. 6.10 11. and 13.4.9 where expresse mention is made both of the Temple and the chambers of Gods house And therefore Nehemiahs commission must needs be given by Artaxerxes Mnemon who was the third of that name and together with Darius Nothus his father was piously affected towards the Jews and furthered the building of the Temple Ezra 6.14 and after the Temple was built he gave commsssion to Ezra in the seventh yeare of his raigne Ezra 7.1 and lastly to Nehemiah in the twentieth yeer
of his raigne It s remarkable of this man as well as of Cyrus that he gave First commission to build the Temple Ezra 6.14 Secondly to return part of the captivity Ezra 7.13 Thirdly to build the City Ierusalem Neh. 2.5.8 at least the wall of it Yet from him the date of Daniels weeks cannot be reckoned since from the sixth of Darius his father to the destruction of Ierusalem the utmost period of Daniels weeks by all interpreters there were but foure hundred ninety yeers or at fathest but three yeers and an half after supposing Jerusalem was destroyed in the midst of Daniels last week as some would have it So then we cannot reckon Daniels weeks either from the twentieth of Artax 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or Artax 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and if any date hold it must be from Darius Nothus his decree Ezra 4.24 and Hag. 1.1 or from the time of finishing the Temple in the sixth yeer of his raign Ezra 6.15 which yet cannot well stand upon the former ground in the beginning of this difficulty where it s proved the angel determined the seventy weeks upon the death of Messias and besides in the same place he begins the seventie weeks at the decree to restore and build the City but makes no mention of building the Temple Dan. 9.25 Yet because generally authours begin the date of Daniels weeks in the raigne of Art Longim and end them at the death of Christ or begin them in the raigne of Darius Nothus and terminate them with the destruction of Ierusalem I have noted both though very uncertain and improbable and leave it to the Readers judgement whether it be not farre more agreeable both to Scripture and truth that Daniels weeks begin where the seventy yeers of captivity end as hath been formerly cleered if I mistake not and end in the death of Christ and our redemption purchased thereby By what hath been spoken may appear First that it seems more agreeable to Scripture that Daniels weeks begin where the seventy yeers of captivity end Secondly that they who begin them with the tenth or twentieth of Artaxerxes Longimanus differ from our date about seventy five yeers Thirdly They who begin them with the sixth of Darius Nothus differ from us about 111. yeers The parcells whereof are forty five yeers of the captivity falling sooner with them then us thirty yeers of our Saviours death falling later with them then us and thirty six yeers after that for the destruction of Jerusalem which they place in the midst of Daniels last week which supposition if true doth of necessity cast the last yeer of Daniels seventy weeks upon the yeere of the world foure thousand sixty six and the destruction of Jerusalem upon An. Mundi 4063 currant being the fourth or middle yeare of Daniels last week and the death of Christ being thirty six yeers before that upon An. Mundi 4027. and not upon An. Mundi 3982. as they would have it as may appear by what follows The Babylonish captivity ended An. Mundi 3465. Thence to the sixth of Dar. Nothus according to them 111. Thence to the end of Daniels seventy weeks 490 Totall 4066 out of which substract for three yeeers and a half of Daniels last week and thirty six yeers from the death of Christ to the destruction of Jerusalem in all 39. and a half There rests just 4027 currant the yeere in which according to their supputation our Saviour Christ should suffer which yet they affirm to be Anno Mundi 3982. The main ground of which errour ariseth from the mistaking of the true date of Abrahams birth as I have formerly shewed Another errour arising from the mistake of Abrahams birth c. is the misdating of the three famous Aeraes or Perieds of time namely aera olympica Vrbis conditae and aera Nabonassaris each of which fall out with them fifty foure yeers sooner then with us The first of them with us falls out Anno Mundi 3228. in the thirty third yeer of Vzziah's raigne The second Anno Mundi 3252. the fifth yeer of Jothams raigne and twenty foure yeers later then the former The third Anno mundi 3258. in the eleventh yeer of Jotham and six yeer later then the aera Vrbis Conditae All these three aeraes falling together within the space of thirty yeers at such a distance as he that knows the true date of any one of them may easily find out the other two But ordinarily Chronologers place the Olympiads in Anno mundi 3174. The aera Vrbis Con. Anno Mundi 3198. and aera Nabonassaris Anno Mundi 3204. which periods to find out they reckon backwards from the death of our Saviour falling out in the last yeer of the two hundredth and second Olympiad or the 800 and eigthth Olympick yeer which being substracted from three thousand nine hundred eighty two the yeare of our Saviours death according to them there rests three thousand one hundred seventy four the first yeer of their first Olympiad each of which contain the space of four yeers and are called Tetraeterides The same course they take to find out the other two periods and what is this but to build one uncertainty upon another for the Olympiads in their date are uncertain And secondly were it out of question that our Saviour suffered in the eight hundred and eighth Olympick yeer yet in what yeer of the world to fasten their aera would be difficult because of the different date of Daniels weeks It were worth the while to enquire whether we can find any better soopsteps of their beginning out of the Old Testament First therefore we must take for granted that those three great aeraes or periods fall together within the space of thirty yeers Secondly that they fall within such a precise distance the one from the other that he who knows one of them may infalliby find out the other two These two postulata being granted which I think both sides cannot but assent unto I shall pitch upon aera Nabonassaris the last period of the three of which there is very probable evidence in the Old Testament by comparing profane history with sacred and if profane historians reckon the raignes of their Kings right the evidence is irrefragable Note then that Berodach alias Merodach Baladan mentioned 2 Kings 20.12 and Esay 39.1 in the seventh yeer of his rule over Babylon sent Letters and a present unto Hezekiah The occasion whereof was the wonder of the Sunnes going ten degrees backwards for the confirmation of Hezekiahs faith about his recovery Now the Babylonians being great Astronomers could not but take especiall notice of the Sunnes retrograde motion and withall hearing that it was upon occasion of Hezekiahs sicknesse as may appear by comparing 2 Kings 20.12 with 2 Chron. 32.31 he could not but send Letters to Hezekiah to enquire about the ground thereof These Letters were sent in the seventh yeere of Merodach Baladans raigne which ran

See the second Difficulty in the Preamble Isaack was born in a year of Jubilee and precisely 30. year after the Promise An especial type of Christ who in his thirtieth year entred upon his Prophetical Office His love was such to Rebeckah that he is not recorded to have any wife or concubine but only her As Christ so he was obedient to his father even unto the death though he had strength enough to resist being as is supposed about that time between twenty and thirty year old Gen. 22.9 10. yea by some he is thought to have been then above thirty year old His very name signifying laughter shews the great Joy shall come unto the Church by Christ who for our sakes was a man of sorrowes and wept often but is never recorded in Scripture to laugh And whether Abrahams laughter upon the promise of Isaacks birth Gen. 17.17 as a type of Christ were not his reioycing to see Christs day Joh. 8.56 at least in part I leave it to the iudgement of the Godly learned Sarah is the only woman whose age is mentioned in Scripture Gen. 23.1 Broughton Isaack being forty y. old marrieth Rebeckah three years after his Mothers death Gen. 25.20 Shem Arph Gen. 11.10 Selah Gen. 11.12 Eber Gen. 11.14 Abrah Sarah Floud Prom.

The Summe is 450. the just account of the Apostle Acts 13.20 But that the whole time of the Judges rule cannot contain 450 years is evident by what follows 1 From the Lamb to Canaan 40 2 Thence to Joshuahs last 17 3 Thence suppose to Elies last 450 4 Thence to the last of Saul and David 80 5 Thence to Salomons fourth in which the Temple was founded 4 Totall is 591 so that by this reckoning from the Lamb to the Temple should be 591 y. contrary to clear Scripture 1 Kings 6.1 Substract therefore that 111 years in which the Israelites were oppressed There rest 480 y. the just space from the going out of Aegypt to the founding of Solomons Temple Whence I cleerly conclude that those 111 years must needs be superfluous and were included in the rule of the Judges Aaron Moses Iosh Caleb Floud Prom Circ Pasover Exod. 12.3.40 S.

ground of mis-dating the Olympiads hath been formerly proved to be that grand mistake about the date of Abrahams birth to which I must refer the Reader There yet remains one scruple namely how the several raigns of the Persian Kings can be reconciled with our date of the Persian Empire For by the computation of their several raigns the Persian Monarchy held about 200 y. but after our account it lasts but 126 y. and so falls 74 y. short of the common account Plutarch and Alsted compared together will afford some light to help us out of this maze Plutarch in the end of his Artax affirms that Artax Mnemon raigned 62 y. Alsted in his Thesaur Chronolog allows him but 43 y. of his sole raign but confesses that the former 19 y. he raigned with Darius Nothus his father who at the beginning of his raign assumed Artax into the fellowship of his Kingdom p. 171. We accept of Alsteds confession and thence infer that as Darius co-opted Artax so the other Persian Kings in the very beginning of their raigns might assume their sons and grand-children into the fellowship of their Kingdomes That Darius did so besides the testimony of Alsted is evident by Scripture Ezr. 6.14 else how could the Temple be finished by the Decree of Darius and Artax had not Artax raigned with his father Darius in whose 6 y. the Temple was finished Thus Cyrus might assume Cambyses Darius Hystaspis might assume Xerxes and he Artaxerxes Longimanus his son at the same time Longimanus might assume Darius Nothus and he Artax Mnemon as is confest Then grant that Darius Ochus raigned 10 y. with Artaxerxes Mnemon Arsames and Codomannus raigned out their full times solely their several years summed up might make 200 y. though the Synarchies rightly linked together extended the Persian Monarchy but to 126 y. And that this is no new thing may appear by the Synarchies of the Kings of Israel and Judah compared together of which above By thus linking of the Synarchies together sacred and profane Chronologie may be reconciled Daniels weeks established and the Olympiads rectified according to scripture yea though we grant that each King raigned as many years as are allotted them by Historians By this means we may conceive how the Temple was building but 46 y. I mean but 46 y. interceded from its foundation to its coping John 2.20 and yet withall that it was not finished till the 6 y. of Darius Nothus Ezra 6.15 As thus Suppose Cambyses raigned 2 y. with Cyrus and 5 y. alone Darius Hystaspis 36 y. and with him as contemporaries Xerxes or Ahasuerus and Artaxerxes Longimanus though upon the supposition this last were crowned being an Infant Darius Hystaspis his 36 y. reached within the 3 last of Artaxerxes Longimanus and so you have from the first of Cyrus his universal Monarchy to the 36 of Artax Longim 7 y. and 36 y. which added together make 4 y. Suppose further Darius Nothus were assumed by his father into the Kingdom 5 y. before the death of Longimanus the Temple being finished in the 1 y. of his sole raign but the 6 of his raign with his father you have the 3 last years of Longimanus and the first of Darius Nothus 4 y. more which added to the former 43 y. make just 47 y. from return out of Captivitie to the finishing of the second Temple To which 47 y. add 56 y. of Artax Mnemons raign whereof 13 y. after Darius Nothus his death 10 with Ochus and 33 alone 13 y. of Darius Ochus alone 4 of Arsames and 6 â—f God mannuâ— in all 79 y. the total is just 126 y. according to our 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the Persian Monarchy 〈◊〉 why labour I in vain for a reconciliation with them who will not aâ—â—â— with 〈…〉 crosse that History nor can I agree 〈…〉 〈…〉 Is it probable 〈◊〉 Persian Kings who wallowed in extream Luxury and were so mightily addicted to Ceres Bacchus and Venus should raign or live so long as is affirmed by Heathen Authours I deny not but the Lord might bestow upon Artax Mnemon a prerogative of singular preservation from great dangers of many daies and a prosperous raign in regard of his and his Fathers great and singular affection to the Church Ezr. 6. and 7. But to beleeve that in so much excesse he should raign 62 y. and live 94 y. as Plutarch reports upon trust I must confesse it can scarce enter into my Creed and may give just occasion to Question the whole Historie about the extent of their several raigns at least 3 of them unlesse the Difficultie may be reconciled by a due linking together of their Synarchies It s remarkable of this Artax that his very Sir-name shews how mindfull and carefull God was of him who was so tender to and mindfull of Gods Church and people None shall ever have cause to complain that God was behind-hand with him for any kindnesse to himself or his people Matth. 10. last and 2 Kin. 10.30 In which last place it s very considerable how Gods Promise runs parallel with his Threat In the second commandment God threatens Idolaters to the fourth Generation and for destroying Idolatrie God rewards Jehu to the fourth Generation And that God was as good as his Word see 2 Kin. 15. 12. True Jehu his design was the establishment of the Kingdom Darius his design was long life for himself and his posteritie Ezr. 6.10 God gives them both their penny so aboundant is he in goodnesse and truth that though no naturall man can claim any Promise yet for his out-side obedience he shall have an outward reward Thus Artax complying with his Father for the service of the Church had the blessing of the fifth Commandment made good unto him If God be so bountifull to hirelings yea enemies how gracious will hee bee to his own Children for whom hee reserâ—es an eternall Inheritance and thinks not himself too good a portion for them Dan. 70 w.

M. 1656. because this year runs parallel with the 600. year of Noahs life as is evident by the text Gen. 7.11 from which I durst not vary but this difference may easily be reconciled Suppose Noahs 600. y. began in the third month Anno 1656. the Floud hapning in the second month Anno 1657. fell within the compasse of Noahs 600. year and yet at the same time light at the begining of the 1657. year of the world for we must not think that the years of Noahs life ran parellel with the years of the world to a month and a day but that the 600 year of Noahs life contained part of the 1656 and 1657. year of the world so as the Floud hapned in the latter end of Noahs 600. y. and the beginning of the 1657. y. of the world And had I set the Floud in 1657. the Reader might have concluded it fell out in the 601. y. of Noahs life which is false and clear against the Scripture Gen. 7.11 This I thought fit to note for prevention of mistake Withal the Reader may note that Methuselah dyed but few months before the Floud came his last year running with the 600. y. of Noahs life and the 1656 y. of the world which thing the Prophet Enoch foretold in his very name which verbatim signifies Mortuo hoc missile that is This man being dead a dart meaning that after his death immediatly God would send that dart or arrow of his vengeance the
