first day of inchoation cal it the first yeer So King James reigned 22 yeers and 3 dais which is caled 23 current Now the whol time from Salomons fourth yeer A. M. 2994 to Zedekiahs captivity A. M. 3425. is just 431 and no more The frequent fractions of Co-reigns Inter-reigns and Anarchies are handled by Sir Walter Raleigh Four Babylonish L. 2 C 22 § 11 Captivities are cited 1 of Manasses by Merodach 2 of Jehoichim and Daniel but neither of thes controverted 3 Of 2 Chr. 33. 11. 2 Chr 36 6● 2 Kings 25. 8. Jeconiah and Ezekiel 4 Of Zedekiah and al the People al three last by Nebuchadonosor but Zedekiahs the grand one Catexochen wher the 70 yeers foretold by Jeremy commence in the ninetenth of Nebuchadnezar when both City and Temple were demolished Many maintain specialy Scaliger That thos yeers begin at Ezekiels captivity becaus he saith in the twenty fifth of our Captivity fourten yeers after the City was smiten which infers that it began 11 before Jerusalems destruction Indeed his did but Jeremies 70 yeers commenced at the final desolation not 11 yeers before St. Matthew saith Mat 1. 11. 12. They were caried to Babylon in Jeconiahs time this only provs it to be a Captivity but not that of 70 yeers For Jeremy is most exact herin deciding the debate beyond al dispute Behold I wil send al the families of the North saith the Lord and Jer. 25 9. c. Nebuchadnezer King of Babel and wil bring them against al Inhabitants of this Land and the Nations round about and wil destroy them and make them an astonishment or hissing and a continual desolation I wil take from them the voice of mirth and gladnes the voice of Bridegroom Bride the nois of Milstones light of the Candle thes Nations shal serv the King of Babel 70 yeers but after thes 70 I wil visit the King of Babel So the 70 yeers begin not when this Prophecy was uttered nor when Jehoiachim then reigning was captived nor in Jeremiahs time but with the utter deluge or devastation of City and Country This is evidently evinced by the event wher 't is said They burnt the hous 2 Chr. 36. 19. c. of God and broke down the Wal of Jerusalem and thos left he caried Captiv to Babel who were servants to him and his Sons til the Persians had Rule to fulfil the Lords word spoken by Jeremy til the Land had hir fil of Sabbaths For al the days she lay desolat she kept Sabbaths to fulfil 70 yeers but in the first of Cyrus when Jeremies word was accomplished God stirred up Cyrus spirit c. Both places plainly prov that they began at Zedekiahs grand Captivity Yea Daniel declares That God would accomplish Dan 9. 2. 70 yeers in Jerusalems desolation So though his own Captivity be reckoned with Jehoiachims and Ezekiels with Jeconiahs the People accounting their own severaly yet the last Uuniversal of 70 yeers began with the general desolation of that Nation therfore the Scaligerians seem they never so acut Lynces begin it 11 yeers too soon and abridg the Worlds age so much as they doo 60 mo at Abrams birth The seventh from the Captivities commencement or inchoation 7 Stage 70. to its accomplishment or solution compriseth 70. yeers warranted by Jeremies prophecy but to light a Candle in the Sun it may be proved by the reigns of 3. Babylonish Kings as Jeremy foretold That al Nations shal serv him his Son and Jer. 27. 7. Sons Son til the time of his Land com also and then they shal serv themselfs of him Now tho it skils litle how the 70. yeers be sorted or shared among them yet most probably thus Nabuchodonosor sacking Jerusalem in his 19. reigned 25. more in al 44. Evilmerodach 26. Balthasar 17. Darius Medus almost 2. which make 70. Then Cyrus in his first over al Asia having reigned 23. in Persia before released the Jews to rebuild the Temple Many advers Opinions occur chiefly Josephus and his numerous Sectists who reckon 5. lineal descents Nabuchodonosor Evilmerodach Niglisar Labosardach Balthasar but others make the 3. last Brothers and Evilmerodachs Sons which sounds neerer to Jeremies words yet untru For Balthasar was his only Son and next successor Som make Evilmerodach and Balthasar Brethren becaus Daniel cals Balthasar Nebuchadnezers Son for Grandson which is Dan 5 2. usual in Scripture and al Eastern languages As to Niglisar he seems to be Husband of Nicotris another Semiramis Nabuchodonosors Daughter who ruled as Regent part of his 7. yeers madnes when he ran wild among Beasts and Labosardoch their Son a short space of 9. moneths but Evilmerodach as tru Heir enjoied the Crown after his death and Balthasar succeded This is the naked truth but how the 70. yeers are divided betwen them is not much material but the gross sum from the grand Captivity to Cyrus certain Scaliger led by Annius whom he rejected before about Abrams birth in a truth and now folows him in error alots to Evilmerodach but 2. yeers which is far short of verity for Jeremy Jer. 52. 33. shews how highly he favored Jeconiah who eat bread before him al dais of his life which implies no short space for Evilmerodach outlived him being 55. when he was released and begot Salathiel Father to Pedaiah Zerobabels Father afterward so his reign must needs be much more Scaliger to justify his opinion that the 70. yeers began 11 before Jerusalems ruin allows Balthasar caling him Labosaroach Nicotris Son but 5. yeers making his Father Niriglisoroar Protector for 4. which neer agrees with the 9. months assigned by Annius to Niglisars Son by Nicotris but both Father and Son ruled som part of Nabuchodonosors wildnes or woodnes not soly and singly after him therfore he meerly mistakes the matter being no infallible Oracle His last King supposed to be Balthasar is one Nabonidus whom he cals Darius Medus but differs from his Author Annius whos Nabonidus was a Babylonian like Balthasar That which deceived him to deem the Berosian Nabonidus the same with Darius is becaus Daniel saith Darius took the Kingdom not won it by force but 't is meant that his Son in Law Cyrus got it in his absence who entred quietly and enjoied it during life So tho he magisterialy condemns the whol Nation of Chronologers for holding Darius to be Partner who was Principal in the Conquest yet are they in the right and he in evident error For the Medes were Cheiftains Persians only assistants Darius defraier of the charges and Cyrus manager of the wars So the Acquest belonged to Cyaxares Daniels Darius Medus for 3. reasons 1. Becaus he was Dan 5. 31. elder and Father in Law to Cyrus 2. Becaus he began the quarel and bore al the costs 3. Becaus the Medes then were more famous then the Persians Yet the glory is given to Cyrus for three other causes 1. Becaus the

He that wil be Truths Champion in Chronical compute tho a despicable Dwarf may not yeeld an inch to the greatest Giant no not in a difference of one yeers dimension Joseph Scaliger was singularly skild in most Sciences but self weening as best wits are and subject to errors In points of Chronography he is rather a troubler then amender of accompts as Salianus stiles him who to seem curious or censorious in mites contests about one yeer as Henry Hotspur with Owen Glendower about Trents torted turnings in their imaginary sortition or sharing of England that the Flood began A 1657. current becaus 't is said Noah was 600 complet Gen 7 6. when the waters were on the Earth yet the very words plainly purport the being not beginning of that Deluge yea 't is after cleered that in the 600. current of his life the fountains Ibid v. 11. of the great Deep broke up So the places are easily reconciled tho one mistaken Indeed the Fathers are said to liv so many yeers meaning complet and beget Children which Chronologers interpret of their Births and haply the fractions which they lived longer may somwhat exced the said sum For the holy Ghost is not scrupulous in such scantlings which being incertain we must reckon no more nor less then is expressed in the Genealogy Som stifly striv that al were born just at the yeers end which is most improbable that al should be born on the 6. day as Adam was created and so let it pass for an inconsiderable trifle scarsly to be conceived or credited For the od over-plus of moneths or dais may more safely be omitted or excluded and the precise sum of 1656. yeers indubitably received The secund from Noahs Flood to Abrams Birth includs 2 Stage 353. 353. yeers asserted by the Postpatriarchs begetting of Sons For the Deluge dured one yeer and Sem begot Arphaxad two Gen 8. 13.

when he cam as a revenging Judg and the rest relat to the last Judgment For what better concent can be then that his spiritual reign over al Nations by the Gospel preached should commence when al Lawish Ceremonies ceased Or that the Heavenly Kingdom should begin when the Earthly ended and al Jewish Government expired Or the inward subjection of Gods new People the Elect among Gentils and his spiritual service should com in stead of the Jews outward worship Or that Celestial Sion new Jerusalem should succed when the old Terrestrials hav no more being This Isaiah foretold It shal be in the last dais that the Isai 2. 2. 3. Mountain of the Lords hous shal be prepared on the Mountains top and exalted abov the Hils and al Nations shal flow to it and they shal say com let us go to the Lords Mountain who wil teach us his wais and we wil walk in his paths for the Law shal go forth of Sion and the Lords Word from Jerusalem By the Mountain of his Hous Sion and Jerusalem is meant Christs Church caled the Gospel not any real City which St. Paul cals High Heavenly Gal. 4. 26. Heb. 12. 22. new Jerusalem abov Mother of us al. This began when the Jews dispeopled or disparkled not before Indeed Christ preached the Gospel 40 yeers before the Disciples continued it but the Jews civil Government or Commonwealth with Ceremonial Law-worship remained stil so the preceding preaching seemed rather a preparation to Christs Kingdom then a Mat 4 17. Mat. 10 7 23 perfect imitation as he self said Amend your lifes for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand and taught his Apostles so to doo implying that his Kingdom was shortly to com yer they should finish al the Cities of Israel So the ful beginning of his spiritual reign is reckoned when the old government and outward service expired For then Christ reigned alone by his Gospel not in any material City without partnership of the Law nor could both concur or coexist Thus Daniels words of ending sin and making attonement may be applied to this time tho ended before becaus Christ then by a kind of excellence or eminence sanctified his Church from sin and reconciled sinners when he did it by the Gospel alone without Law purifyings and the shadow being gon the body cam in place of it The bringing in of everlasting righteousnes may apply to Christ himself as Jeremy and St. Paul cal him and sealing Jer. 23 6. 1 Cor. 1. 30. of Vision and Prophecy to his glorious Kingdom not long after his death being not fully finished til that time Lastly the annointing of most Holy agrees best with his absolut reign so the Hebrews referring it to Jerusalems desolation complies with Scripture Now for Chronology the first of Cyrus Olymp. 60. 4. His Chronology when he proclamed the Edict and secund of Vespasian Olymp. 112. 2. when Jerusalem was spoiled which contain 606. yeers are generaly made the extrems of this Vision in which space som go higher som lower for the limits referring the rise to Cyrus Decree when he licensed Zerubabel to rebuild the Temple or to the 2 of Darius Hystaspis when he ratified the former or to the 7 of Artaxerxes Longhand when he permitted Ezra to offer in the Temple or to his 20 when he sent Nehemiah to reedify wals and City but the period to Christs birth baptism death or Jerusalems destruction as every fancy fashioneth the Accompts wresting words to their sens yet can make no coherence Mr. Livly begins at 2 of Darius Nothus and ends at 2 of Vespasian which he saith is 490 yeers as indeed it exceds but 4 which is neerest of any for concinnity of comput but far from truth For Hystaspis not Nothus licensed the Jews to expedit the Temple as Ezra evidently shews that when Zerubabel Ez 4 1 5 6 7 c. and the Jew began their Adversaries hired Counsilors to hinder it al dais of Cyrus being abroad in War and of Cambyses til the 2 of Hystaspis for Nothus did not initiat til 106 yeers after Cyrus and never made any Decree for the Jews Thes Men wrot to Artashaste so they caled al Persian Kings but properly Cambyses stiled before Ahasueros in Hebrew a Prince being his Fathers Viceroy who stopped the structure 7 yeers in his Fathers absence and 7 after His next Ez. 5. 1 2 3 c. Successor sav 10 months usurpation by the conterfet Magi was Hystaspis in whos 2 yeer Zerubabel incoraged by the Prophet Haggai and Zechary who were al dead yer Nothus Ez. 6. v. 6. 13. reigned retrived the work but Tatnai and Shetherboznai opposed til Darius charged them to further it which they sadly did So 't is cleer as Sunshine that Zerubabel began to build in the first of Cyrus and revived it in the 2 of Hystaspis after 15 yeers intermission but he builds on a fals foundation that Cyrus initiated and made that Edict Olym. 55. 1. for he began then in Persia as best writers witnes but not over al Asia til 23 yeers after Olym. 60. 4. which is his meer mistake or misprision However if it be granted that Nothus made a new Decree and from it to Mnemons 32 be 7 weeks or 49 yeers and 490 in al to Jerusalems devastation neither of which is exactly tru yet this provs not the Vision to be a continuation of sacred Chronology from the Captivity downward for ther is a vast Chasma of 115 yeers from the 1 of Cyrus to the 2 of Nothus not chalked out in thos 490 yeers but denoted by secular Authors according to the Olimpic Aera nor can any cleer certain Chronicism be collected from the Vision as is copiously proved Sir W. Ralegh and many mo begin thos weeks at the 7 of Artaxerxes Longhand Olym. 80. 2. and end at Christs crucifixion Olym. 202. 4. which make 490 yeers yet can be no continued Chronology from the Captivity sith neither the preceding time from Cyrus to Longimanus nor the subsequent from our Saviours suffering to Jerusalems subversion both which belong to the Vision is involved therin Mr. Livly seeks to confirm or countenance his novities by Opinions Contestees 1. Eusebius who by Messiah twise named understands a Successor of annointed high Priests which Ruled Regaly as the Machabees and others after their releas from Babylon so the Hebrews take the word and expound cutting off by expulsion or otherwise 2. Tertullian who begins the 70 weeks at the secund of Darius naming his 4 Successors Mnemon Ochus Arses Codomon which must needs be Nothus though he miscals him Medus The end of thos weeks he sets in the secund of Vespasian saying that the Jews by being subdued fulfilled Daniels 70 weeks 3. Sulpitius Severus St. Austins Contemporar who saith the Jews by Cyrus leav began the Temple but were hindred about 100 yeers recompting Cambyses Darius Xerxes Artaxerxes with another Xerxes
