Solomons Songs were 1005 and his Parables 3000 as many make the years of the World to his Temple finished And many that differ in That agree in This that they came out of Egypt 1495 full years before Christ born So that his first year was as many years from Egypt as there came men from Babylon To Jerusalem with Ezra just 1496 as they are numbred in Ezra 8. Or in a round number 1500 As the Spices in the Holy Oyl a Mighty Type of Christ were just 1500 Shekels And Shekles also may shadow Years in divers Scriptures here cited And by these accounts Nimrods Babel may be 666 years before the Golden Calf or Image of the Beast as in the Psalm at coming out of Egypt which was 666 years before Jerusalem was sacked by Joash and twice 666 before the Desolation by Antiochus and so 1335 years as in Daniel before the Temple cleansed by the Maccabees which was 1260 years before the Christians reigned in Jerusalem about 1100 of Christ which was 2555 or 7 Prophetick years from the Jews entring Canaan which was 1455 before our Saviour and by Codoman with those that follow him 2555 years After the Fall which others make 2555 before Canaans Partition Which they entered on the 10th of the 1st Month for the Paschal Lambs whose noon was Hour 234 as it was 234 years after Jacobs Death in Egypt and the number of Jericho to which they passed is 234 As Ramases is just 430 As they came thence at 430 years from the Promise and Succoth that is Tabernacles just 480 As the Tabernacle was 480 years before the Temple and their third station Etham may be the number of years from the Temple finished to Christ which were very few more then 1000. And Etham in Hebrew Letters maketh but 1001. And from Etham where they saw the Glory of God in the Cloud Pillar an emblem of Christ they turned back into Egypt and were carried through the Red-Sea and the Wilderness as Types of all the Sufferings of Christ and his Members And many other instances of Time couched in Hebrew Leters may perswade us that it was more than chance that made so many Harmonies and wrote the Law with an Alphabet that makes as many Unites which both Jews and Christians all agree as there were years from the Law so written to Christ With such consort of the Dayes and Hours of their year As Genesis hath 12 Sections as their year had 12 Months and 50 Chapters as 12 Moons have 50 Weeks and their 50 dayes between the Passover and Pentecost and 1534 Verses as Hours of their year To the Evening Sacrifice before the Pentecost or years of the World before Noahs Ark which is measured Here by its Cubits As also the Tabernacle and the first and second Temple And so may Ezekiels also in consort to the Jewish year and Times of the Bible to be measured by it And as the Holy Garments Veils and Curtains were woven with six Threds of Silk or Linnen called Shesh which is 6 with a Thred of Gold as the Sun with the other six Metals or the Sunday with other six dayes of the week so was all Ezekiels measured by a Reed of six Cubits and a Palm at least which may lead us to the Morning of the Sabbath or 7th day of the Week if we reckon Dayes by Cubits And the Outer Court had seven steps as the Week had seven Dayes but the Inward Court had 8 steps and the Christian Sabbath was their 8th day The Gates or Doors were 10 Cubits broad and 13 Cubits high Their shortest Dayes and Nights were 10 Hours long their longer 13 or 14 and there were 13 dayes of their year before the Passover but the Paschal Lambs were separated on the 10th day And at the 10th year their Children came under the Law for some things and others at 13 which is signal among the Eastern Nations for Ishmaels Circumcision at that age The Gate-houses 25 Cubits broad and 50 long The Levites entred at 25 and served till 50 years old Being for the First-born As the first fruits had 50 Dayes between the Passover and the Pentecost and so the breadth of the Ark was 50 Cubits As the Suburbs of the Sanctuary and divers other things in Ezekiel The Porch and holy Places as in Solomons Temple All the House with its Walls 100 Cubites As each of the Courts And so was the Court of the Tabernacle But in Ezekiel three times repeated as the Length of Noahs Ark was 300 Cubits and its Height was 30 Cubits as the Length of the Tabernacle and the Height of the Temple As their Months had 30 dayes And if Ezekiels Reed do represent a Week 25000 in the length of its holy Portion make about 480 years As between the Tabernacle Raised and the Temple or at most 490 As in Daniels Weeks Of which more in another place With Paralels between the Kings of the North and South till Rome devoured all and so became the King that should exalt and magnifie himself above every god as Dan. 11. 36. But towards the end the King of the South or Saracen shall push at him and the King of the North or Turk shall come against him as a Whirwind and shall overflow and shall enter the glorious Land of Israel and shall conquer many Countries in Asia and Africa but shall not prevail against the Children of Lot or of Edom where the Turk is glad to Guard his Caravans and pay some kind of Homage or Tribute to those Little Great Arabians But the East or Persia with the North or Tartary with the Muscovites or other Northern Princes shall Trouble him sore and though he shall come out with a great Army and with greater Fury then before yet he shall come to his end and none shall help him And his Palace is placed between the Seas rightly called The Port and between the Holy Mountains which all Ages placed in Thrace or some Northern parts of Macedonia But the Bible in the Holy Land Which was to be conquered by Saracens and Turks or Ishmael as the Jews still call them And we do not only read of Ishmael mocking Isaac till he was driven out to Those Arabian Deserts where the Saracens arose but the Prophet Jeremy shews us a Map of this in Ishmaels cutting off the Remnant of Israel in the 7th Month and in that very season when those Ishmaelites did take Jerusalem upon the 2 d or 3 d day of the 7th Month on which the Jews still fast for Ishmaels slaying Gedaliah c. as Jerem 41. But Ishmael also was chased away as before by Johanan the Grace of God which at length shall be the Great Conqueror As it is written In thy Maesty Ride on Prosperously because of Truth and Meekness of Righteousness For Mercy and Truth preserve the King and his Throne is especially Kept up by Mercy Psal 45. 5.

Col. ● for Tabernacles read Tabernacle The PREFACE and SCOPE THis Discourse was written more large and it may be less confused but the Authors distance from the Press and little time to correct it with so many numbers and other occasions prevailed to contract and croud it out as he could being only for private Friends and such as can excuse both matter and manner The first is to express some little part of the unexpressable Goodness of God and Love of Christ which passeth knowledge and to help shed it abroad into our hearts that it may mould us into love to God and all men Have we not all One Father Hath not One God created us Why do we then deal treacherously every man against his brother by prophaning the Covenant of our Fathers And our Saviour did not only bid them all say Our Father but repeated it and pressed it on the multitude that they had All One Father in Heaven and One Master or Teacher even Christ which is twice repeated in Mat. 23. And as Love was his last and great Command on Earth so his first Complaint out of Heaven was of some that had lost their first Love And may he not complain that we have lost All Love which is not only waxen cold but even Dead and quite put out by Lust or Love of the World and Cares thereof which himself said would Choak the good Seed And what Hope is left or means to recover us but in himself Made under the Law of Love to God and Man also So that it is written in his heart to Love his God and his Neighbour As himself To propagate the Name and Love of God with All his Might and to bring his Children Servants and the Strangers in his Gate to Rest the Rest of God as is required in the fourth Command And seeing he bid it be written as a True Saying of God that He would make All Things New the Author doth believe it though he doth not yet see it And he thought it worth enquiring When That great Change is to come into the minds of Men to mould them into Love of God and One another And finding the Psalm for the Afflicted to tell us that God will appear in his Glory when he buildeth up Zion and when the Peoples are Gathered and the Kingdoms to serve the Lord he searched what the Law or the Prophets say of such a Gathering And he found that Moses Dying Charge on Joshuah with succeeded Kings of Israel which he hopes may come to Christ at length was to gather All Israel and their Strangers also and to Read the Law to them All that they may Hear and Learn and fear the Lord and his Goodness in the Latter Dayes At the end of Seven years in the Solemnity of the year of Release in the Feast of Tabernacles which they call the Feast of In Gathering And although this was acted every 7th year in some measure yet seeing God himself doth sometimes use a Day for a Year or a year for as many years as it hath Dayes he began to consider whether it might not be So in This also that the Sabbatical years of Release might intimate their Release from all their Scatterings and Bondage at the Close of seven Prophetick years or in 2555 years which are seven times 365. And first he found that so many years After the Fall did bring Israel to rest in Canaan and so many more did bring the Christians to reign in Jerusalem and that from their First Scatterings out of Canaan in Jorams time when they were first led Captive so many years came out about 1666 now coming and from following scatterings after Joram so many years are out about 1690 and that Daniels greatest number of 2300 dayes or years is then also finished from the time of his Captivity And for beginning those Prophetick years about the time of Joram there are many reasons besides their first scattering out of Canaan Then For it was a very Great Change of the World or as the Jews express it a New World which they believed to be seven or eight times renewed As the old Tuscans also in Plutarchs Sylla and that every such New World was foreshewn by Great Prodigies in Heaven and Earth yea and Divers times by signal Tydes or Turnings and Parting 's of Waters as the great Clepsydra So at the first Creation and again at the Flood and again at passing the Red-Sea and at entring Canaan When Jordan was divided As again by Elijahs Mantle At His Ascension a little before Joram which was followed by their first Captivity As their Last followed our Saviours Ascension shadowed by Elijahs The Assyrian Empire was Then shaken and broken as Israel by Syria and Judah by the Philistines Arabians and Edom which Then first revolted and broke Jacobs Yoak as was foretold by Isaac and rested not till it forced Ahaz to hire Assyria which destroyed Israel about the time of Romulus who might be shadowed by Rummili or Remaliah that in the mask or vizor of Religion Ravished 683 Virgins or 783 as it was 683 years before the Romans first Ravished the Virgin of Zion and 783 before they crucified Christ From that time the Prophets began to threaten Edom by which the Jews say they meant Rome as in that Map of Hell in Isa 34. directed against Edom and the Raemim or Romim v. 7. And as Judahs breach and cutting off might be Typed by Athaliahs cutting off the Royal Seed as Joram had cut off his brethren so might those seven Great years of Scattering and Return be Typed in the seven years of Famine and Wandring of the Widow who then Returned and found the K. talking with Gehazi freed it seems from his Leprosy And by the seven years of Joash Hiding and then coming up and repairing the Temple and by many other seven years which are here touched In this search of Times it is found that 1260 or 1290 and 1335 which are the Great Numbers in Dan. and the Revel may be Years and Dayes and Hours of Jewish years As from the
