reign of the Kingdom of Persia 3435. The Monarchy of Media and Persia. MEdia and Persia are two Regions in in Asia Media is limitted on the East with Parthia on the West with Armenia on the South with Persia on the North with the Caspian Sea The chief Cities of old in this Country were Laodicea Appannia Rhaga Tauris Persia is bounded on the East with the River Indus on the West with the Persian Gulf on the North with the Caspian Sea on the South with the main Ocean Persia hath 10. several Provinces and many Cities of which as chief were Persepolis Casbin and Susis Media and Persia were distinct Kingdoms but were united under Cyrus King of Persia which after became the second Monarchy This Kingdome is signified by the breast and arms of Silver in Nebuchadnezzers image But in regard Cyrus was the chief King and Monarch and yet the taking of the Kingdom of Babylon is given to Darius King of the Medes it 's necessary to reconcile this in the first place Darius of the Medes call'd Cyaxares the son of Astyages or as Daniel nam'd him Ahasuerus the eighth King of the Medes being old and having no son and withal finding his Souldiers unconstant to him Darius gave Mandana his daughter unto Cyrus King of Persia who was his sisters son and joyned him in the Government with him and so united the Kingdoms of Media and Persia but how long time they reigned together is not certain Darius called to his help Cyrus his son in law and at that time won the most mighty City of Babyon and so brought the Empire to Media and Persia. This Victory is given to Darius as the chief in Government and aged about 62. years who it's thought lived not passing one year after this Victory and then Cyrus came to be sole Emperour of Persia where began the second Monarchy Historians agree not about the Kings of Persia neither for number names or times of their Reigns neither need we much to seek after them sith now the Computation of times falls into Daniels Numbers Therefore I will forbear to set down any of them but refer the Reader to a further view of these in the Annotations I give upon Dan. 9. But all Writers with one consent agree That Alexander son of Philip King of Macedon made War against Darius and overcame him in three Battels where Alexander took Darius his Mother his Wife and Children but Darius himself was murthered by his own Souldiers in flying to save himself So the Empire of Persia had its end and was translated to Grecia The Monarchy of Grecia GRrecia or Greece is a Country in Europe bounded on the East with the AEgean Sea the Hellespont on the West Italy and the Adriatique Sea on the North with Mount Hemus on the South with the Jonian Sea Greece is parted into Provinces Peloponnesus Athalia Epirus Albania Macedonia Migdonia and Thracia Peloponnesus is in compass 600. miles and rounded with the Sea only it joyns to the main Country by a neck of land of five miles in breadth 1. Peloponnesus contains five Countries and many Cities of which were Lacedemon in Laconia and Corinth 2. Achaia contains seven Countries and beautified with many Cities of which was famous Athens in Attica Thebes in Boetia Delphos in Phocis Lepanto in Lacris 3. Epirus was famous amongst other things for Mount Pindus 4. Albania 5. Macedonia had also Countries and Cities This Province was famous for the Birth of Alexander the great 6. Migdonia this Province hath many Cities of which are Apollonia Neapolis and Thessalonica 7. Thracia in which are the famous Cities of Adrianopolis and Constantinople Grecia continued a Kingdome for the reign of 22. Kings to Alexander the great who became Monarch of the World Alexander son to Philip King of Macedonia in the 7. year of his reign fully overthrew Darius of Persia and brought the Empire to Grecia and after reigned Monarch 5. years some say 7. years It is said that Alexander reigned 12. years but it 's supposed 12. years as King of Macedon not as Emperour of Grecia But Alexander going to Babylon there died of an Ague others say of Poyson at 30. years of age However in this sickness perceiving he should dye He called his servants such as were honourable and had been brought up with him from his youth and parted his Kingdom among them whilst he was yet alive Of which the chief are these four Seleucus had Syria Ptolomeus Egypt Antigonus Asia the less and Cassander had Macedonia All these put Crowns upon themselves and each affecting Soverainty over the rest they soon fell to great and continual Wars amongst themselves but the main conflicts were between the Kings of Syria Egypt call'd by Daniel The Kings of the North and South Dan. 11. This was the third Kingdom represented in Nebuchadnezzer's image c. and in Daniel vision by c. But amongst all these I will only mention the Race of the Syrian Kings as most sit for us to consider and giveth the most light to understand the 11. Chap. of Daniel Syria hath on the East Euphrates on the West the Mediterranean Sea on the South Palestine or Canaan and on the North Cilicia and other parts of the lesser Asia This Country is thought in part or in whole to be the very place of Paradise the Garden of Eden Syria contains three Provinces 1. Phoenicia lying upon Canaan where are these Cities Ptolomais Sarepta Sidon Tyrus 2. Province is Coelosyria the chief City of which was Damascus the Royal seat and of these Kings of Syria Scriptures speak much The 3. Province is Syro-Phoenicia whose chief Cities were Beritus Aleppo or Sabab Biblis Tripolis and Antiochia There was also Palmyra which was a City and Province The Kings of this Country were as follows Seleucus Nicanor was the first King of Syria and reigned 32. years 2. Antiochus Soter 19. years 3. Antiochus Theos 15. years 4. Seleucus Gallinicus 20. years 5. Selences Ceraunius 3. years 6. Antiochus Magnus 36. years 7. Seleucus Philopater 12. years 8. Antiochus Epiphanes son to Antiochus Magnus succeeded his brother Seleucus and is the vile person Daniel speaks of Dan. 11. 21. and that wicked root Antiochus surnamed Epiphanes son of Antiochus the King and he reigned in the 137. year of the Kingdom of the Greeks 1 Mac. 1. 10. On the 15. day of the month Casleu by the Romans November in the 145. year of the Grecian Kingdom they set the abomination of desolation upon the Altar and burnt the books of the Law 1 Mac. 1. 54. c. Joseph Antiq. 12. lib. 7. chap. Dan. 8. 9. to 12. Thus Antiochus prevailed against the Jews and fulfilled the word of the Lord spoken by Daniel but the Lord again appearing in mercy to a few of his own people who had kept themselves from the abominations of those evil

Henry the 4. son of John of Gaunt Duke of Lancaster was now elected and crowned King of England He was descended of Edward the 3. though not next in succession of bloud and here comes in the Line of Lancaster King Richard quickly deposed was sent to Pomfret Castle and as some write there quickly murdered King Richard had yet a great party of Nobility and others that still appeared for him when he was deposed and many conspiracies there were against Henry to have killed or poyson'd him Indeed King Henry cut them off apace but it 's probable these were the death of Richard Henry put men to death for words About this time the Welch on one part and the Scots in the North did wast greatly In the 3. year of Henry Henry Percie son to the Earl of Northumberland Thomas Percie Earl of Worcester with a great part of the Barons and Commons fought a great battel against King Henry In this battel at Shrewsbury many fell on both parts but there Sir Thomas Percie was taken prisoner and after beheaded It was a sad time with England by frequent Mutinies amongst them and great judgements of Plague and Earthquakes upon them And when Henry had sat upon the royal Throne 13. years 6. moneths and odd daies he died the 20. of March An. 1414. Henry the 5. now bare the Crown Yet the Earl of Cambridge Sir Thomas Grey with others conspired his death but being discovered he took off their heads The King prepared a great Army and with a Fleet of 1000. sail of Ships he past to Normandy and got great Victories After this Henry was made Regent of France and then married Katherine the Kings daughter Katherine bare Henry the Kings son but Henry died himself in France the last day of August Anno 1423. when he had reigned 9. years 5. moneths and odd daies Henry son to Henry the 5. succeeded his father and was crowned at 8. months old In his Infancy the Government of the Nation was committed to the Duke of Glocester the guard of his person to the Duke of Excester and the guidance of France to the Duke of Bedford In this year Charles King of France died and the Kingdom descended to Henry the 6. and so the most of the Nobility delivered the possession thereof to the Duke of Bedford for the Kings use After in An. 1432. Henry was crowned King of France in Paris and so returned to England Yet to make all sure he took to wife Margret the Kings daughter of Cicily An. 1445. But this glorious rising Sun soon declined After the death of the Duke of Bedford in France France fell off the Dukedom of Normanday lost And here at home the Duke of Glocester by order of Parliament was Arrest upon which in sorrow he soon died Also the Duke of Suffolk was banished but as he was passing the Sea a Ship of war met him and there they beheaded him and cast his body into the Sea These things brought discontents and mutinies at which time came up to London the Commons of Kent who made fearful slaughters by fire and sword After this the Duke of York began commotions and the Barons were divided The King the Duke of Buckingham the Duke of Somerset the Earles of Pembrook Northumberland Devonshire Stafford Dorset and Wiltshire with many Barons marched to St. Albans and in the Town of St. Albanes in Peters street was a fierce and cruel battel fought where on the Kings side were slain the Duke of Somerset the Lord Clifford and many others and the King taken whom the Duke of York the Earls of Warwick and Salisbury brought to London and in a Parliament the Duke of York was made Protector the Earl of Salisbury Chancellour and the Earl of Warwick Captain of Calice But by the Queens interest the Duke of Yorke was dismist the Protectorship These evil sparks for a time were concealed and a feigned agreement seemed to be amongst them But about a year after the Duke of York and his party appeared again with a puissant Army in the field and gave the King battel at Northampton where his Army was routed and the King taken prisoner in the field The Duke of York now claimed the Crown and by Parliament he was proclaimed heir apparent But the Queen gathered up a company of Northern men who neer Wakefield in a sharp fight kill'd the Duke of York and his son Edmund Also the Queen routed the Earl of Warwick and the Duke of Norfolk neer St. Albanes and delivered King Henry her husband The Earl of Warwick fled into Wales to the Earl of March who had in a battel put to flight the Earl of Pembrook and Wiltshire and with the Earl of Warwick went most of the South Country people Upon these Earls joyning they marched towards London and the King having intelligence of it drew away towards the North and went to York But the Earls marched on to London where they were joyfully entertained and the 4. day of March Edward Earl of March was proclaimed King of England And thus Henry the 6. lost the Crown when he had reigned 38. years 6. months and odd daies An. 1462.
