within_o the_o great_a of_o two_o thousand_o and_o three_o hundred_o year_n consist_v of_o four_o hundred_o and_o ninety_o day_n for_o seventy_o week_n be_v reduce_v into_o day_n amount_v to_o the_o aforesaid_a number_n which_o according_a to_o the_o prophetical_a way_n of_o speak_v be_v so_o many_o year_n viz._n four_o hundred_o and_o ninety_o year_n two_o great_a knot_n we_o have_v here_o to_o untie_v 1_o whether_o these_o seventy_o week_n relate_v to_o old_a testament_n or_o new_a testament_n time_n 2_o in_o case_n they_o relate_v to_o the_o one_o or_o the_o other_o where_o be_v we_o to_o begin_v and_o where_o to_o end_v they_o as_o touch_v the_o first_o it_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o a_o worthy_a man_n that_o this_o prophecy_n be_v not_o to_o be_v understand_v of_o the_o time_n between_o the_o babylonian_a captivity_n and_o christ_n but_o rather_o point_n out_o the_o church_n restauration_n in_o new_a testament_n time_n from_o its_o bondage_n and_o servitude_n under_o antichrist_n but_o this_o i_o can_v receive_v 1_o because_o this_o opinion_n leave_v we_o whole_o destitute_a of_o scripture-ground_n either_o for_o the_o make_n up_o the_o year_n of_o the_o world_n or_o for_o a_o right_a supputation_n of_o daniel_n two_o thousand_o and_o three_o hundred_o year_n 2_o because_o the_o determination_n of_o the_o seventy_o week_n be_v clear_o and_o evident_o upon_o the_o jewish_a church_n where_o as_o this_o shall_v be_v upon_o the_o church_n of_o the_o gentile_n this_o be_v evident_a from_o the_o word_n vers_fw-la 24._o seventy_o week_n be_v determine_v upon_o thy_o people_n and_o upon_o thy_o holy_a city_n thy_o people_n and_o thy_o holy_a city_n clear_o denote_v the_o jewish_a church_n and_o the_o city_n jerusalem_n which_o be_v daniel_n people_n and_o city_n to_o be_v h●re_o intend_v nay_o it_o can_v be_v otherwise_o for_o these_o word_n come_v in_o as_o a_o answer_n to_o daniel_n prayer_n most_o sure_o that_o people_n and_o that_o city_n daniel_n have_v be_v pray_v for_o be_v here_o mean_v now_o this_o be_v not_o the_o church_n and_o people_n of_o the_o gentile_n but_o of_o the_o jew_n with_o the_o city_n jerusalem_n as_o the_o very_a expression_n of_o his_o prayer_n declare_v object_n but_o the_o prophet_n whilst_o they_o speak_v of_o the_o restauration_n out_o of_o babylon_n temporal_a do_v mystical_o imply_v and_o under_o figure_n describe_v the_o restauration_n out_o of_o babylon_n spiritual_a therefore_o though_o it_o be_v a_o truth_n that_o daniel_n prayer_n be_v direct_v for_o restauration_n out_o of_o temporal_a babylon_n yet_o notwithstanding_o be_v he_o close_o under_o it_o lead_v by_o the_o spirit_n to_o the_o restauration_n out_o of_o babylon_n spiritual_a answ_n true_o the_o prophet_n whilst_o they_o speak_v of_o the_o restauration_n out_o of_o babylon_n temporal_a do_v indeed_o mystical_o imply_v and_o under_o figure_n describe_v the_o restauration_n out_o of_o babylon_n spiritual_a this_o in_o the_o general_n be_v a_o truth_n but_o whilst_o there_o be_v a_o application_n make_v of_o this_o general_a rule_n to_o this_o particular_a prophecy_n it_o fail_v for_o our_o author_n himself_o confess_v that_o daniel_n in_o his_o prayer_n do_v cast_v in_o his_o thought_n the_o restauration_n out_o of_o babylon_n temporal_a and_o therefore_o the_o seventy_o week_n from_o his_o own_o principle_n must_v have_v some_o relation_n to_o that_o at_o leastwise_o as_o a_o type_n of_o the_o other_o but_o a_o typical_a relation_n it_o can_v not_o be_v for_o the_o text_n have_v express_o say_v that_o seventie_o week_n shall_v seal_v up_o the_o vision_n and_o prophecy_n we_o be_v here_o by_o out_o off_o from_o look_v after_o any_o antitype_n or_o any_o other_o fulfil_v of_o these_o word_n than_o what_o be_v betwixt_o the_o come_n out_o of_o babylon_n literal_a and_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n therefore_o the_o relation_n they_o have_v to_o that_o time_n must_v necessary_o be_v the_o whole_a intendment_n of_o the_o prophecy_n 3_o because_o the_o phrase_n vers_fw-la 24._o to_o finish_v transgression_n to_o make_v a_o end_n of_o sin_n to_o make_v reconciliation_n for_o iniquity_n to_o bring_v in_o everlasting_a righteousness_n can_v without_o a_o manifest_a force_n be_v applid_v to_o any_o other_o time_n then_o that_o wherein_o christ_n suffer_v 4_o the_o messiah_n

of_o any_o person_n but_o of_o thing_n viz._n the_o bring_n in_o of_o christ_n pure_a worship_n into_o his_o church_n which_o be_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o author_n of_o this_o opinion_n can_v be_v

some_o person_n not_o of_o thing_n nay_o it_o seem_v strange_a to_o i_o that_o the_o word_n messiah_n signify_v the_o anoint_a one_o and_o this_o whole_a prophecy_n pointingat_fw-la the_o messiah_n it_o shall_v once_o be_v think_v that_o the_o anoint_v the_o most_o holy_a can_v be_v mean_v of_o any_o other_o save_o the_o messiah_n our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n himself_o and_o therefore_o

to_o admit_v it_o rather_o than_o yield_v that_o by_o messiah_n the_o prince_n here_o name_v shall_v be_v mean_v any_o other_o then_o christ_n our_o lord_n and_o redeemer_n for_o say_v he_o i_o be_o
