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
