contriued into the lyne of his kinred euen for profe of that prophecy which so directly calleth vs to a most certayne yeere of his death and reprofe of all Heathen tyme-rolles and specially the Olympike pastymes But I haue more plentifully then briefe assertions suffer enlarged this blame of that witnes whiche woulde bryng Cyrus and the Sonne out of his course and make Phaeton ruler of the Chariot Now I wyll pursue other wandringes and come to others of whom Heathen haue store which lyue before their elders were borne or dye themselues afore euer they saw the ey-liddes of the mornyng A Cataloge of further impossibilities in Olympike reckonynges 1 By this variety of accomptes Clemens Alexandrinus maketh Aggai Zachary and Malachy to prophecy afore Ezekiel For he placeth Iechonias captiuity in Olympiade 48. Ezekiel prophecied not vntyll fyue yeeres after that Ezek. 1. and Aggai Zachary and Malachy doth he also of resolute purpose place in Olympiade 48. makyng them elder then Pythagoras though his familiarity with Amasis myght haue warned him better Yea Thales also is hereby made their puny These be the wonderful wordes of Clemens It is cleere that they who prophecyed vnder Darius Hystaspis in the seconde yeere of his kingdome Aggai Zachari and he who amongest the twelue is called Angel Malachi he meaneth in the first yeere of the 48. Olympiade are elder then Pythagoras which was in the 62. Olympiade and elder then I hales which was in the 52. Clemens runneth into this blame no lesse culpable then yfa man shoulde place queene Mary afore king Richarde the thyrde or to spe ke prouerbially all the Cartes in London before their Horses But Clemens must be spared Come to Heathen recordes 2. Parmenides floryshed in Olympiade 29. But his ancient Anaximenes saw not the Sunnes lyght vntyl the Olympiade 63. nor Pittacus the olde sage vntyll the 54. nor Thales vntyll the 56. though by other he dyed afore he is borne by some Laert. Solon also by Laertius florisheth when by Suidas he is yet vnborne Dracon also by ●atianus being in Olympiad the 30. the olde law-maker shoulde be as late as Parmenides So the Poet Sophocles farre elder then Plato shoulde floryshe with Eudorus Platoes scholer at the 73. Olympiade Laertius and Suidas 3 Zenon was a boy and Socrates a young man when Parmenides was very aged that is 65. yeres olde and at the solemnity called Panathenaea they dispute in Platoes Parmenides Yet Socrates is borne in the 77. Olympiade as before I touched from Suidas Zeno the younger in the 70. by Laertius 4 But Plutarch hath no fellowe for this purpose for in one mans lyfe of a tyme well knowen and course of lyfe differyng twyse from common reckonyng 5 Lysias by Plutarch is borne in Olympiade 82. the seconde yeere when Philocles was Archon at Athens The Olympiades by Diodorus were 80. vnder Philocles In Plutarch the same Lysias after 63. yeeres is in the 90. Olympiade 40 yeeres woulde haue brought hym from the 82. vnto the 92. He lytle cared for that accompt that so doth speake Neyther may the print be blamed vnlesse the Basil and Stephens in the lyfe of Lysias be blamed at once A Chaos of confusions haue Greekes in this kinde that Apollo the wicked spirite myght well be counted witty in appoynting a Tree beset all with Spiders nettes for a garlande of these games For the house of a Spider wilbe their confidence which entangle Diuinitie and humanitie with these toyes 6 A great deale of foule play about Alexander the great hath this gamestery wrought in sad wryters Our countrey man Florentius VVigoriensis burieth Alexander in Olymprade 110. By Diodorus at 111. he entreth Asia and by 114. the first yeere by Arrianus he dieth And hereupon belyke Duris placeth his death in Clem. 1. Str. where others place his voyage fyrst 7 And vpon this confusion also it may be sayde that some make Alexanders reigne after the Persians to be of 18. yeeres where Clemens maketh the whole Macedonians vnto Cleopatras fall to be 306. Ouides Iupiter was neuer so frighted with Phaetons running of the Sunne out of his course least all shoulde be brought by flames into the olde Chaos as the course of the holy story is disturbed by seeking helpe at these forlorne Olympike recordes But I must haste to ende this Olympike differing absurdities Yet Pindarus the harping Poet who wrote of the Olympian gamesters and his commenters they may not be omitted He as he thought no Starre bryghter then the Sunne on the day tyme so he thought no gamestery better then the Olympike 1 Fyrst for Pindarus if in his time any accompt had been knowen of theyr number the Poet so witty and so farre fetchyng antiquities woulde hardly haue omitted that 2 The commenters vppon hym bryng a reckoned number of the Olympiades vppon two gamesters Xenophon and Psaumis Xenophon Corinthius wan the stadion by Triclinius in Olympiade 79. yet the same Xenophon Corinthius in Pausanias wan the stadion in Olympiade the 29. when Archimedes was Archon not Archidemides whom Diodorus bringeth And yet the same Pausanias for the 29. Olympiade whiche he maketh to be soone after Gyges reigne when Ardys graundfather to Croesus reigned maketh Miltiaden to be Archon But the print may not be blamed For Pausanias hym selfe bryngyng vnreconcileable word●s of Olympiades telleth what he must recorde but must not beleeue Besides the Latine translater in both places fo●oweth the Greeke as lytle caryng for the authoritie of the games Thus for Xenophon the commenter Pausanias disagree 3 For Psaumis the gamester two commenters more fall out Pindarus doth commende him of his towne Camarina which towne he tearmed the New-towne Thereupon thus doth the commenter speake Camarina was buylt in Olympiade 45. destroyed in the 57. buylt agayne in the 85. lately before Psaumis gam●stery This the same speaketh also Camarina was buylt of Gelo in the 42. Olympiade as Timaeus wryteth But Philistus sayth that in the thirde Olympiade Gelo buylt it So Gelo shoulde be about 160. yeeres differing from hym selfe Trichinus sayth thus Camarina was buylt first in the 45. Olympiade and was ou●rthrowen in the 57. and was buylt in the 82. Olympiade at Psaumis victories Now the former commenter ioyneth the taking of it to the tyme of Darius us Hystaspis warres And how coulde that be agreeable to Cyrus 55. Olympiade or to Xerxes warres in 75. which was but tenne yeeres later then the former of Darius Cornelius Agrippa myght fitly haue brought olympike recordes into the vanity of sciences For nothyng can be so vayne The causes of differing by Olympiades sundry games and sundry game-rulers 1 Pausanias in Eliacis doth shew that a full dosen of seuerall games were set vp at seuerall tymes farre distant and yet he omitteth some that others haue 2 The Stadion or foote race was the first whence of late men tooke their accompt 3 But the most ancient reckon from other gamesters Thucidides declareth that
