A09841	A newe treatise of the right reckoning of yeares, and ages of the world, and mens liues, and of the estate of the last decaying age thereof this 1600. yeare of Christ, (erroniouslie called a yeare of Iubilee) which is from the Creation, the 5548. yeare. Conteining sundrie singularities, worthie of observation, concerning courses of times, and revolutions of the heauen, and reformations of kalendars, and prognistications: with a discourse of prophecies and signes, preceeding the latter daye, which by manie arguments appeareth now to approch. With a godlie admonition in the end, vpon the words of the Apostle, to redeeme the time, because the dayes are evill. By M. Robert Pont, an aged pastour in the Kirk of Scotland. The heades are set downe in certaine propositions, in the page following.	Pont, Robert, 1524-1606.	1599 (1599)	STC 20104; ESTC S114916	62,367	102

those_o age_n now_o compleet_o pass_v by_o our_o reckon_n before_o this_o 1600._o year_n of_o christ_n fifty_o hundred_o year_n which_o make_v 55._o age_n and_o we_o be_v now_o in_o the_o 56._o age_n and_o at_o the_o 48._o year_n thereof_o which_o may_v well_o be_v call_v a_o age_n of_o the_o decay_a and_o fade_a world_n not_o only_o because_o it_o appear_v to_o approach_v near_o unto_o the_o world_n end_n but_o also_o by_o reason_n great_a mutation_n &_o alteration_n be_v likely_a to_o fall_v out_o therein_o both_o in_o the_o visible_a heaven_n the_o earth_n &_o other_o element_n then_o in_o other_o age_n before_o whereof_o i_o intend_v to_o speak_v more_o large_o afterward_o but_o to_o entreat_v of_o particular_a accident_n that_o fall_v out_o in_o the_o former_a age_n it_o pertain_v to_o a_o more_o large_a discourse_n four_o proposition_n that_o in_o our_o time_n the_o sign_n and_o revolution_n of_o the_o heaven_n be_v change_v and_o remoove_v from_o the_o old_a accustom_a place_n and_o therefore_o the_o vulgar_a prognosticator●_n be_v in_o a_o error_n and_o of_o the_o way_n to_o reform_v the_o same_o like_a as_o i_o have_v travel_v heretofore_o by_o sabbaticall_a reckon_n to_o deduce_v &_o find_v out_o the_o perfect_a count_n of_o the_o year_n of_o the_o world_n how_o long_o it_o have_v continue_v unto_o this_o instant_n 1600._o year_n of_o christ_n and_o there_o with_o to_o discover_v the_o erroneous_a reckon_n of_o the_o papistical_a jubilee_n and_o their_o impiety_n so_o now_o may_v i_o enter_v into_o a_o other_o kind_n of_o reckon_v which_o be_v call_v astronomical_a gather_v by_o the_o course_n and_o revolutiones_fw-la of_o the_o heaven_n the_o sun_n the_o moon_n and_o the_o star_n for_o as_o the_o sabbaticall_a reckon_n whereof_o i_o have_v speak_v have_v the_o ground_n out_o of_o the_o scripture_n and_o word_n of_o god_n so_o this_o astronomical_a count_n have_v also_o the_o original_n out_o of_o the_o same_o and_o as_o thereckon_n of_o sabbathes_n and_o sabba●icall_a year_n begin_v at_o the_o seven_o day_n of_o creation_n when_o god_n rest_v from_o all_o his_o work_n so_o this_o astronomical_a calculation_n have_v the_o beginning_n from_o the_o 4._o day_n of_o creation_n when_o as_o god_n make_v those_o heavenly_a light_n and_o place_v they_o in_o the_o lift_v of_o heaven_n not_o only_o for_o that_o cause_n that_o they_o shall_v shine_v &_o give_v light_n upon_o the_o earth_n separate_v the_o day_n from_o the_o night●_n but_o also_o to_o be_v for_o sign_n and_o for_o season_n of_o time_n day_n and_o year_n that_o be_v by_o their_o motion_n and_o revolution_n to_o distinguish_v time_n and_o season_n and_o therewith_o to_o signify_v certain_a effect_n follow_v upon_o their_o course_n and_o motion_n so_o that_o thereby_o we_o may_v learn_v the_o difference_n of_o time_n and_o make_v distinction_n of_o the_o part_n thereof_o as_o of_o year_n month_n day_n and_o of_o all_o season_n and_o appoint_a diette_n without_o the_o knowledge_n and_o reckon_n whereof_o there_o shall_v be_v nothing_o but_o extreme_a confusion_n in_o all_o the_o action_n of_o man_n for_o neither_o can_v the_o memory_n of_o thing_n by_o past_a be_v keep_v norrespect_n have_v of_o thing_n to_o come_v nor_o the_o progress_n of_o time_n be_v number_v without_o the_o same_o be_v define_v and_o measure_v by_o the_o motion_n of_o these_o heavenly_a body_n and_o namely_o of_o the_o sun_n and_o moon_n for_o the_o sun_n by_o his_o most_o equal_a and_o simple_a motion_n be_v as_o a_o most_o perfect_a rule_n to_o we_o to_o appoint_v and_o measure_v the_o year_n and_o season_n thereof_o the_o moon_n also_o by_o her_o short_a motion_n to_o measure_v and_o distinguish_v the_o month_n of_o the_o year_n so_o there_o be_v no_o more_o perfect_a way_n to_o measure_v the_o year_n of_o the_o world_n then_o by_o the_o course_n of_o the_o sun_n the_o moon_n and_o the_o star_n which_o every_o one_o have_v their_o

historical_a reckon_n the_o just_a count_n of_o the_o year_n of_o the_o world_n to_o our_o day_n i_o think_v it_o not_o necessary_a in_o this_o short_a treatise_n to_o set_v down_o the_o astronomical_a reckon_n albeit_a it_o will_v ratify_v and_o confirm_v our_o former_a count_n for_o it_o shall_v be_v both_o longsome_a &_o tedious_a to_o they_o that_o be_v not_o well_o ground_v in_o
