Persians magnified their own Monarch and from them the Greecs hav it 2. Becaus he was present and President 3. Becaus Darius dying within two yeers he was seated in the Throne yer remot Nations heard of it therfore Darius cannot be the Berosian or Babylonian Nabonidus but he must be Balthasar It is worth observing obiter that Nabuchodonosor conqueror Note wel of the first Monarchy had only two successors of his own loins Evilmerodach and Balthasar Cyrus next but one Cambyses Alexander third scars one for Aridaeus was his base Brother and his Son Alexander by Roxane unborn at his death barely proclamed by his Grand-mother Olympias as our Edward 5. but slain by Cassander and never Crowned Caesar the fourth none but adopted his Sisters daughters Son sirnamed Augustus and he his Wifes Son Tiberius to whom a Nephew Caligula succeded and to him an Uncle Claudius who adopted his Wifes Son Nero the last of Caesars linage aswel Adoptitial as Natural Sic transit gloria mundi Thus al four Monarchies soon transmigred from the Purchasers progeny or posterity to Aliens or Allies Man disquiets himself Ps 39 7. in vain heaping up riches and knows not who shal gather them Here ends Canonical Chronography wherin we had the cleer Sun-shine of sacred Scripture to guid our steps though somtimes shadowed with thick clouds which hav bin dispelled but must henceforth walk by Moon light in the paths of Human Histories having two blazing Torches of the Olympic Aera and Rome to direct us Most Men make Daniels Vision of 70 weeks Annarian ech Digression of Daniels Vision or Vaticiniation containing a Sabbath of 7 yeers in al 490 the golden Chain of Chronology from the Captivity to Christ but agree like Samsons tail-tied Foxes drawing divers wais both about the initiation and termination for they are at Daggers point in divers Points 1. What commandment is meant whether that of Cyrus to reedify the Temple which Cambyses hindred or of Darius Hystaspis to finish it or of Artaxerxes long hand one in his seventh yeer when he maried Esther to offer in the Ezra 1. 2 c. Ezr. 6. 1. c. Ez 7. v. 8 c. Neh. 2. 1. c. Temple another in his twentieth when Nehemiah repaired the Wals and City 2. Whether the 7 weeks and 62 483 yeers from going forth of the Decree to Messiah the Prince determin at his birth baptism or death 3. How the last week wherin he shal confirm the covenant with many and in the midst caus the Sacrifice to ceas can be continuat But leaving contention let us survey the Vision so much as concerns this intention by a short Paraphrase to the present purpose Daniel in the first of Darius Conquest finding the 70 yeers Dan. 9. per totū foretold by Jeremy neer finished praied and confessed his sins At which time the Angel Gabriel informed That at beginning of Vers 22. 23. his Supplications the Commandment cam forth not actualy for al four were promulged afterward but by divine Decree which is Yea and Amen that 70 weeks 490 yeers are determined on Vers 24. his People the Jews and holy City Jerusalem to finish transgression seal up sins reconcile iniquity bring in everlasting righteousnes Vers 25. seal up Vision and Prophecy and to anoint the most Holy al applied to Christ by most Orthodox-Divines Then he divides thes weeks Know that from going forth of the Commandment to bring again the People this seems to imply that of Cyrus and to build Jerusalem this rather intends another of Ataxerxes to Messiah the Prince shal be 7 weeks and 62 the Vers 26. street shal be built and the wal in troublous times this Nehemiah performed and after 62 Messiah shal be cut off but not for himself which seems to imply his death and the People of the Prince that shal com the Romans shal destroy City and Sanctuary and the end shal be with a Flood and to the Wars end desolations are determined This befel 38 yeers after Christs crucifixion And he shal confirm the Covenant with many for one week Vers 27. the last and in the midst of it shal caus the Sacrifice to ceas haply at Christs Passion 3 yeers and half after his Baptism and for the overspreading of abominations he shal make it desolat til the consummation determined be poured on the desolat This denots the Cities fatal destruction and Temples final demolition in the other half week for from Vespasians entry to repress the Rebellion til Titus took Jerusalem were 3 yeers and half caled by our Saviour the abomination of desolation spoken by Mat. 24 15. Daniel the Prophet Lo here the literal Eloquy of this Enigmatical Prophecy the Rack of learned wits wherin thes points are cleer 1. That Messiah shal expiat sins bring in everlasting Righteousnes or Salvation and fulfil al Prophecy 2. That he shal com within thos 70 weeks and in the last be slain 3. That the Jewish Law and Sacrifice shal ceas 4. That both City and Temple shal be destroied 5. That this desolation shal be perpetual til the consummation of al Things and Times This confuts Chiliasts who say Christ shal in Person reign at Jerusalem 1000 yeers but much more the Jews who gape for a Messias For let them begin the 70 weeks wher they wil it must needs be that al thes things are already accomplished and the Messiah com long ago who hath abolished al Lawish Ceremonies For the limits of thes weeks som begin and end too soon Opinions as Origen who reckons 70 yeets for 7 to a week viz 4900 extends them from the Creation to Christs Birth Som begin and end too late as Scaliger and Junius from Josephus who comput from Darius Hystaspis Decree to Jerusalems downfal Som begin too soon and end too late as Hippolitus who takes rise 50 yeers before Cyrus til Doomsday and R. Salomon who reacheth from the first Temples demolition to the secunds destruction Som begin too late and end too soon as Melancthon who sets his But at the twentieth of Longimanus and Basis at Christs Baptism Som begin right and end too soon Som begin wel and end too late Som end right but begin too soon Som end wel but begin too late as particular instances prov Most probably by Commandment is meant Cyrus first Commission or Proclamation which Zerubabel executed for so soon as the 70 yeers of Captivity expired the 70 weeks of liberty which exced sevnfold commenced and both saith Calvin are certainly conjoined 'T is no less credible that by abomination of desolation at end of this Vision Jerusalems ruin by the Romans is understood but from one to the other intervened 606 yeers 116 abov 70 weeks which is caus that none could ever make their accompts agree though they racked the Text on tainters wors then Procustes tortured his Prisoners For in truth the premisses infer this result That 't is no

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
