Mathew in the .xxiiij. Chap Neuerthelesse it is permytted by holye scripture to enforce by some coniectures similitudes to attayne and come to the age or year of his comming always the day and the houre abydyng vnknowen Our Lorde hath inuited and drawen vs for to serch and obserue by a couenable similitude or parable of a fygge tre when the braunch is tender and his leaues be out you know that Somer is approchynge You also lykewyse when you se the thinges aboue sayd in the .xxiiij. cha Lyfte vp your heades knowing that youre redemption and the kyngdome of God is next to the gates By these wordes and by the fashyon of thynges future nowe presente whereof also many be past he that diligently searcheth thē may easely coniecture somethinge for vs of this which dyuers auctours haue lytle reculed of the breuite and small enduryng of this worlde we shall briefely resite Fyrste we wyll set forth the wordes of Elie whereby the Iewes confounde them selues which haue set fourth as they saye howe the worlde shall endure syxe thousande yeares that is to saye two thousande yeares without lawe two thousande yeares with the lawe and two thousande yeares after the dayes of Christe To these wordes it semeth Saynt Peter confyrmeth in his seconde epistle in the thyrd chapitre sayinge that one daye to the Lorde is as a M yeres and a thousand yeres as one day Of the lyke that foloweth that as the Lorde in syx dayes created al and the vij day he reposed him self lykewise sixe m. yeres he gouerned this worlde subiect to generations corruptions in the. vii M. he beganne repose perpetual as the syxt day was not in all permytted to worke and trauayle but that a good part of the same day drawynge towardes euenynge was laide to the saboth likewise the sixte thousande shall not be holye suffred nor graunted as it is wrytten in other passage that the Lorde shall abrydge y e dayes for the chosen as the sixe first generations that is to say of Adā Seth Iared Cainan Malaleel Iared be trespassed or departed and the seuenth whiche is of Enoch is immortall Lykewyse sixe thousande yeares shall regenerate death in y e seuenth shall haue the fortunate immortalitie his vigour Item in S. Math .xxiiij. S. Marke .xiij. sayth the Lord of this daye and houre no creature knoweth nor yet thaūgelles of heauen but my father onlye And as the dayes of Noe were lykewyse also shalbe the comynge of the sonne of man for as they were in the dayes before the deluge eatynge drynckynge maryinge and geuynge in mariage vnto the daye that Noe entred in the arcke they knewe nothyng nor vnto the time y t the deluge came toke them awaye all Lykewyse shall be the commynge of the sonne of man By these wordes it semeth Iesus Chryst to haue taken not onlye the similitude of the qualitie but also of the quantitye of thynges I call qualities manners of this corrupted worlde wherof there is no doubte for S. Luke confirmeth it in his xvij Chapter the quantitie is called the nombre of yeares The sentence is somewhat more obscure but Saynt Mathewe declareth it when he sayth Lykewise as the dayes of Noe were so shalbe the cominge of the sonne of man And Saynt Paule to the Romaynes in the v. Chapter affyrmeth how Adā was the fourme and figure of the commynge of Iesu Christ As also he sayth in the fyrst to the Corinthiens the .xv. Chapt. The fyrst man Adam in soule 〈…〉 and the last in spyryte 〈…〉 the fyrste man of thearth 〈…〉 the seconde manne that is to saye the Lorde is of heauen Yf then Iesus Chryste is the other Adam of whome the fyrste hath ben the fygure and that the cōmynge of Iesus Christ shalbe as the dayes of Noe before the deluge who wyl not beleue that so longe tyme that is passed from Adam terrestre vnto the dayes of Noe the deluge that it shall not passe so muche from Adam celestiall the whiche is our lorde Iesus Christ vnto thende of the worlde or deluge of fyre Saynt Peter sayth in his seconde Epistle in the thyrd chapter the day of the Lord shall come as a thefe in the nyght wherby the heuens shall passe in maner of a tempest and the Elementes beynge chafed 〈…〉 the earth shall founder 〈…〉 thonerages or workes 〈…〉 in them shall burne and by and by after the same sayth whereby the heauens beyng on fyre shalbe defayted and the elementes beyng burned shal foundre Nowe it is euydent oute of Genesis the .v. Chapyter that from Adam vnto the deluge be passed M. CCCCCC .lvi. yeares it is lykewyse true howe the ende of the world shalbe approchynge to like yeare of our lorde thousande syxe hundred fyftye and syxe It is nere at hande for there remayneth nowe no more but. C. and foure yeares Yet alwayes for so muche that none knoweth the abreuiation of the sayde tyme the whyche is purposed for the electe for this reason it semeth ryght difficyle precisely to knowe the tyme. There is other that saye how the yeares of the Lord ought to be accompted not from his Natyuytye but from his resurrection Ascencion or sendynge of his holye spyryte whyche shoulde make greate variation and mutacion of the yeares And as Noe knewe not the daye nor the howre of the deluge yet alwais of the yeare not ignoraunte Lykewyse to vs is permytted by the holye Scryptures to searche the yeare albeit that the daye and howre remayne vnknowen Some also coniecture the ende of the worlde from
