one Cainan Arphaxads supposed Son haply misprised or misplaced for Enos Son Grandson to Adam giving him 130. yeers yer he begot Salah but Moses mentions no such Man nor doo the Chronicles name 1 Chr. 1. 18. Luke 3. 36. him St. Luke whos transcribers folow the septuagints cites him yet haply not the Original for neither Philo nor Josephus nor St. Jerom or any of the Antients writing on his Genealogy take notice of Cainan in the seventy or Evangelist therfore 't is probable that both are vitiated since their times Yea Beza saith Cainan is cashired in an old Manuscript of his yet did il to omit him in his translation being generaly received in al Copies Howbeit sith Moses and the Chronicles exclude him he may not be included in sacred Chronology For if Moses lost him wher did the 70. find him who had al their light from him being but his Torch-bearers or Translators Salianus saith Moses suppressed him to make the Patriarchs two Decads before and after the Flood equal as St. Matthew omits three Kings of Juda to keep his Tessera Decad of fourten Generations intire See the Mans wit Matthew and Luke intended Genealogy wherin it matters litle to cut off som links of the Chain so the succession be kept sound but Moses Chronology which would be utterly uncertain if any one generation be conceled St. Matthew names the number of Mat. 1. 17. fourten but Moses cals them not Patriarchs nor casts them into Decads as he doth the divine Decalog nay he that looks aright shal see eleven in the first Age inroling Sem the first born and but 9 in the last nor can any reason be rendred to transpose Sem into the later Decad sav that it so pleased the Painter A greater rub results at what age Terah begot Abram becaus 't is said He lived seventy yeers and begot Abram Nahor Gen. 11. 26. and Haran viz. the eldest of them which many misdeem to be Abram becaus first named So is Sem in Noahs Of-spring Gen. 5. 32. but both for their personal dignity being Stock-fathers to Christ and series of the History intended by Moses yet Japhet and Haran indubitatly eldest though last named For Haran came of Terahs first wife who was father to Loc Sarai and Gen. 20 12. Milcah as appeers by Abrams answer to Abimelech That Sarai was his Sister or Neece being Daughter i. Grandaughter of his Father but not of his Mother For he and Nahor maried their half Brothers daughters This is the stone wherat Chronologers stumble cutting off Atropos like 60 yeers of the Worlds age but a short Enthymem shal soon remov it Terah died at 205 when Abram was but 75 Ergo he was 130 at Abrams birth for 75 and 130 make 205 Quid brevius vel quid certius esse potest The proof is irrefragable and indeniable but the shifts devised to delud or disguise it sottish and sensless for if Abram was begot at Terahs age of 70 then Gen 11. 31. Gen. 12. 4. What briefer proof can be Or surer to agree was he 135 at his death if so then was he in Canaan and Egypt overcam the four Kings had Ismael and Isaac his Sons with many mo acts mentioned from Gen. 11 to 22 wherin Moses should be most preposterous to set Terahs death 60 years before it befel and record such gests after it as were doon in his life time To elude or evade this evidence Scaliger and his Sectators fain two Journies into Canaan one of Abram at 75 in Terahs time another of Abraham when his name was changed at 135 after his death This is vented or invented gratis without grounds and flatly repugns St. Stephans saying he cam out of Chaldea to dwel at Charan and when his Father Acts 7. 4. was dead never before went into Canaan How or when did he return with a numerous Family beside al Cattle Cariages Gen. 22. 20. and Lots company into Charan or why did one tel him as news that Nahor had a large ●ssu Vz Buz and others if he had bin so latly among them Scaliger brands and blames Annius as first brocher of this novity which is a known Verity that Terah begot Abram at 130 who though a forger of som Fables speaks truth in this point nor is he the Inventer of a novity for Tertullian St. Austin and other Antients held it Ob. He objects That Abram admired how he should beget Gen 17. v 17. a Son at 100 which som doo even in our dais Ergo 't is not credible that Terah begot him at 130 yeers Sol. His doubt rose from Sarais age of 90 becaus it ceased to Gen. 18 11. be with hir after the maner of Women not from his own decrepit disability for he had sundry Sons by Keturah after 140. Ob. If Abram was not born at Terahs age of 70 ther is no certainty of the time for connexion of sacred Chronology Sol. Yes his age 75 at Terans death who was 205 provs Gen. 11. 10. him to be born at his Fathers age of 130 as Sems age is notified by his Son Arphaxads birth both obliquely yer infallibly that Sem was 100 yeers old 2 yeers after the Flood Here al Note personal Calculation of Times by particular Patriarchs ages ceased and other guids or marks are set to comput by as the Promist Exod Temple Reigns of Kings Captivity of Babylon and prophane Aera's or Epoches the Olympiads and Rome which must be the future Chronical Cynosure wherby to steer our Ship in this surging Sea The third from Abrams birth to the Promist is 75 yeers 3 Stage 75. Gen. 12. 4. a plain pregnant place beyond al cavillation or contradiction yet St. Stephan saith God appeered to him in Acts 7. 2 3 4. Chaldea before he dwelt in Charan bidding him go eat of his Country and com into the Land which he should shew him So the apparition and invitation or injunction was at Vr in Chaldea before he cam to Charan but the Promiss not promulged til his age 75. when he began his peregrination into Canaan The fourth from the Promiss to the Exod and Promulgation 4 Stage 430. of the Law 430. Exod. 12. 40 Gal. 3. 17. particularized thus Abram out lived the Promiss 100. dying at 175. from his Gen 27 7. Gen 35. 28. Gen. 25. 26. Gen 47. 28 Gen 41. 46. Gen 45 6. Gen 47 28. Gen 50 26. Acts 7 23. 30 death to Isaacs 105. who was 75. when Abraham died and lived 180. which 75. and 105. make 180. from his death to Jacobs 27. for Isaac was 60. at Jacobs birth and dying at 180. his Son was 120. who lived 27. more dying aged 147. from Jacobs death to Josephs 54. who was 39. when Jacob cam into Egypt viz. 30. when Pharaoh dreamed of the Kine 7. yeers of plenty and 2. of famin and Jacob lived ther 17. So Joseph was 56. at his death and

lived after him 54. in al 110. from his death to Moses birth 64. which are not precisely pointed out as the former but must be shared betwen his Grand-Father Coath and Father Amram From his birth to the Law 80. for he was 40. when he fled to Madian and 40. more at the Exod Exod 7. v. 7. Gen 15. 13. in al 80. which said sums 100. 105. 27. 54. 64. 80. make 430. wherof 215. before Jacobs journy into Egypt and 25. after One seeming scruple occurs that God said to Abram Acts 7 6. thy seed shal sojourn in a strange Land and shal be il intreated 400. yeers which St. Stephan recites Ergo not 430. som suppose it spoken of the total peregrination from the Promiss to the Exod complet 430. yeers but the od 30. omitted in Genesis and the Acts. This is a remedy wors then the malady nor can it conciliat the Texts for God names the affliction and persecution of Abrams Seed in a strange Land 400 yeers which many begin at Isaacs birth being heir of the Promiss but from it to the Law are 405. The most orthodox hold That Isaac being weaned at 5 yeers old was mocked or il intreated Gen. 21. 8 9. by Ismael which St. Paul cals Persecution and ther the Gal. 4 29. 400 commence but however or whenever the Persecution of 400 is to begin which is a distinct accompt by it self we must reckon the peregrination with Moses and St. Paul from the Promiss to the Law ful 430 which is infallible The fifth from the Exod to founding the Temple involvs 5 Stage 480. 480 specificated thus Moses ruled in the Desart 40 dying at 120 Josua 17 Othniel 40 Ehud 80 Debora 40 Gideon 40 1 Kings 6. 1.

Paul and it amounts to 111 beyond the other which is the just sum of al thos servituds seriously to be observed To reconcile these pugnan● places is impossible but most Interpreters Imagin the prime Amanuenses or Transcribers mistook 100 yeers setting tetracosiois for triacosiois 450 for 350 becaus the Holy Ghost is not curious in Genealogy or Chronology but som slips in such trifles are tolerated as St. Matthew for Euphony of thrise 14 Generations omits 3 Kings after Ahazaria Joas Ahazia Vzzia beside Queen Athalia and St. Luke superads Cainan not found in Moses Canon Such answers are aspersions on holy Writ for if misprisions Censure may pass for plea why may not it be presumed that the sum 480 is 100 too short for if the 111 servile yeers be substituted to the Judges yet Josua might preside more then 17 and the Tribe of Juda and Simeon waged war with Adonibezek took Jerusalem and Hebron with other exploits extant in the two first Chapters of Judges before God stirred up Othnie● Yea Josephus records the story of the ravished Levits Wife as doon in thos dais though transposed per hysteron proteron as a by-busines beside som Anarchies intimated after Samsons death How much time thes things took is not defined but must be shared among the Judges els the sum wil swel beyond bounds which can alow but 40 to Samul and Saul jointly yet St. Paul saith God gav them Saul 40 nor can it seem much less sith he had sundry Sons valiant Warriers So little is left for Samuels sole Rule who cam a Child to Eli being dedicated to God before his birth by his Mother and ruled long dying very aged Indeed it appeers not how long Eli lived yer Samuel succeded or how long he Judged yer Saul was annointed but the series of Story shews it to be no short space Laying aside these difficulties the truth is That the precited times of Judges are 339 but St. Paul casting in the 111 of Servitud as the Jews used whos accompt he folows saith 450 so his computation including thos yeers and others excluding them materialy agree This is a fairer justification of St. Paul then to correct him under color of Transcribers errors for his sole scope is to shew how God released his People from Bondage ruling them by Moses and Judges til Sauls time and raised up our Lord Jesus out of Davids seed to settle the Scepters succession but intended no exact calculation of Times sav what was current among his Countrimen whos Traditions he observs often when he speaks to win them However we must hold the 480 in the Book of Kings wher 't is purposly prescribed and the month Zif cited excluding thos 111 of oppression and not stick at every opposition The sixth from the Temples foundation to the Captivity of 6 Stage 431.

which sundry Rabins take to be the Covenant confirmed for one week but he expounds it of the new Gospel Covenant wherby many seing the manifold miseries of the City and Country foretold by Christ were converted more then any time els before For God warned the Saints saith Eusebius to fly from Jerusalem like Lot out of Sodom to Zoar into little Pella beyond Jordan that he might pour his vengeance more fiercely upon Unbeleevers If any ask to whom the Particle He shal make a Covenant can be referred sav to the Roman Ruler He saith 't is usual in Hebrew to understand a Person or Agent though not expressed before when a transitiv Verb hath an Impersonal notion viz. that before it be destroied a Covenant shal be made to the Faithful ther by such Ministers as God shal use In midst of that week the Legal Sacrifices ceased for at Vespasians coming the Rebel-Ringleaders abolished the custom of Sacrifices appointing the common People and Country Clowns to be Priests as Coblers Coopers Coachmen and Costermongers preach in Tubs during tumults contrary to Law yea they defiled the Temple and slu the Priests at the Altar so in fine no Oblation was offred as Josephus tels for ceasing of Sacrifices may apply both to this War and Christs death which abolished and accomplished al lawish oblations The sum is that by annointing the most Holy Christ is understood but by Messias twise mentioned the Jews Governors Nehemiah Agrippa are meant Wheras then 't is said 70 weeks are decreed to abolish sin and make attonement which Christ did within thos weeks as Tertullian saith the work of redemption was perfected under Tiberius within Daniels 70 weeks The Hebrews held their Messiah should reign at Jerusalems destruction according to an antient rule of R. Elias School that the World shal last 2000 yeers before the Law 2000 under it and 2000 under Messias which R. Leviben Gershom cals the Dan. 2. Dan. 7. fifth Kingdom being to succed the four foretold by Daniel For the Law with al Ceremonies ended when Titus razed the seat of divine worship and neither Place Priest nor People left to solennize Gods service R. Hami saith the Son of David shal not com so long as any Soveraignty remains in Israel R. Milo from R. Eliezer that Christ shal not com til al Judges and Magistrats be clean rid R. Moses Hadarson commenteth on Jacobs Prophecy that the Sanedrim shal not ceas til Shilo the Messias com which stood in ful authority with Gen. 49. 10. the Commonwealth til the last war For Josephus relats that the high Priest Ananus and seventy Judges condemned James our Lords Brother Bishop of Jerusalem when Albinus began the war Agrippa was expeld not long after the Sanedrim suppressed Priesthood made a mockery al authority turned to anarchy the City and Commonwealth becoming Acephalon without Head or Guid. Many seek the fulfilling of Jacobs prophecy at Christs Birth becaus Herod an Idumean alien swaied the Scepter but are deceived for the Jews Government by Priests and Elders dured stil tho subject to the Romans as before to Babylonians Persians and Syrians who substituted Herod under them Onchelos the Chaldee Paraphrast interprets it thus A Magistrat of Juda shal not depart nor a Scribe of his posterity til Christ com to whom the Kingdom pertains and al power shal be subdued to him Hence so many conterfets about the Temples downfal fained to be Messias yea divers Rabbins Judas Nehorai Nehemias took by tradition as tokens of Christs coming that much wickednes should abound good Men abhorred and Divinity Schools made Brothel houses which is Daniels overspreading of abominations This Josephus records to be at that Siege when al sins against nature were acted Laws cōtemned the Temple desiled Virgins deflowred Matrons ravished Houses rifled and al detestable crimes perpetrated or practised Thus Daniel and Josephus refer the reign of abominations to Jerusalems destruction which the Rabins apply to Christs coming To reconcile al Christs coming is duple 1.

Powerful in principality wherof he self speaks That som Mat. 16. 28. ther should not see death til the Son of Man cam in his Kingdom which was verified in St. John with others of whom he said If I wil that he tary til I com what is that to thee Who lived John 21. v. 22. til Jerusalems desolation when Christ cam as a revenging Judg to punish his Persecutors which may be Meaphoricaly caled a coming tho divers Divines impute it to his Resurrection being an entrance into his Kingdom confirmed by sending down the Comforter yet not so proper as the other For Junius expounding Daniels words from going out of the Commandment to build Jerusalem unto Messiah shal be 7 weeks and 62 refers them to Christs coming in Daniels last week when Jerusalems desolation began becaus he shewed himself a severe Lord or Judg against the Jews and a gracious Prince or Head of the Church by benefit of the Gospel When Christ told his Disciples that not a stone should be left on a stone they asked Mat. 24 2. 3. when it should be and what sign of his coming and of the Worlds end Conjoining the Temples demolition Christs coming and the Worlds end but in St. Marc and Luke they Marc 13. 4. Luk 21. 7. only ask what time shal be of the Temples ruin Which argues that the Apostles held the old Hebrews opinion of the Temples eversion and Christs coming to concur when a change shal be of the old Churches overthrow and coming of Christs Kingdom who expected a new face of things by their Messias reign caling it the World to com As Rabins termed the time from Adam to Christ the first World and from it to the general Resurrection the last so the Disciples inquiring the sign of Christs coming and the Worlds end meant the new secund World of the Gospel Whence those times betwixt Christs preaching and Jerusalems perishing are caled the last dais and by St. Paul the Worlds end Yea Christ answering Acts 2. 17. Hebr. 1. v 2. their Quaere givs one token cited by R. Nehemias that wickednes shal multiply and Charity wax cold This secund coming 1 Cor. 10 v 11. Mat. 24. 12. contains his whol reign jurisdiction and judgment in Heavenly Jerusalem by the Gospel preached even from commencement of Earthly Jerusalems confusion to the general Resurrection both being expresly concluded under his secund coming one respecting the inchoation another the consummation of the self same Kingdom Thus al circumstances cohere wher he saith This generation shal not pass til al thes things be Mat. 24. 34. fulfilled and som shal not tast of death til they see the Son of Man com in his Kingdom which respects it beginning in Jerusalems fal
