Day of Trying the Paschal Lambs or Preparation of the Passover To the Pentecost Or from the day of Aarons Death and of burning the City and Temple To the Day of Creation or Dedication of the second Temple and of Jerusalem in Nehemiahs Time and to the Feast of Trumpets in the seventh Month which was for Release and Tabernacles were 1260 1290 or 1335 Hours And from the City Taken on the 9th of the 4th Month to the Feast of Tabernacles were 2300 Hours as between the Suns Apogeum and the Equinox And their great Release was in 2300 Dayes As their Release of Hirelings or their three years Tythes and Offerings with the Solemn Confessions of Deut. 26. came out in 1260 or 1335 Dayes So Davids New Jerusalem was gotten from the Jebusites who Trod it down as their name in Heb And the Ark was fixed in Zion and the Temple built in 1260 1290 or at most in 1335 years from the first Desolation of the Flood And Nehemiahs New Jerusalem was finished and dedicated at 1260 hours that is the morning of the 53 d day from its beginning but 1335 hours from his coming thither as Nehem. 2. 11. 6. 15. and in so many years from Jacobs service in Syria Typing Israel in Assyria or from Josephs Bonds in Egypt or Israels coming and Dying there And the great Dedication and Restitution after Antiochus Nicanor was so many Dayes as in Daniel After the City Prophaned and so many years After Egypt and the Golden Calf which was 1335 years before the Maccabees which were 1290 years After the Ark at Shiloh or 1260 years After their first Bondage to the K. of Mesopotamia as a Type of Babylon and 1260 years Before the Christians got Jerusalem and Reigned in it about 1100 of Christ All which were but Types and Shadows of the New Jerusalem to come in those degrees of 1260 1290 or 1335 years After the Abominable Desolation made by Antichrist who was Typed out by Antiochus Which was to come upon the Christian Church as the Assyrian was to fill the breadth of the Land of Emanuel When the Romans had finished their war against Jerusalem in Titus Adrian and Julian After the ten first Christian Persecutions Which lasted as many years as there were Hours in ten Dayes As the Revelation saith they should have Tribulation for Ten Dayes which have Hours 240. and there were so many Years from the first Persecution which began with the Jewish War in 65 or 66 of Christ Till Constantine And the Times of Julian were as slaying of the Paschal Lambs which were Tyed up on the tenth day ending at Hour 240 and slain on the fourteenth at Hour 333 As Julian was 333 years After Christ and Romes deadly Wound was After Jerusalem sack'd 333 years As Hamans Lots or Purim from the Preparation of the Passover 333 dayes 333 was a signal Number to the Jews both for Hours to the Passover and Dayes to Purim and Cubits in the Holy Courts and to Others also As Plutarch observes in Fabius finding Secrets in the Sybils not to be uttered and vowing 333 Sesterces and 333 Denaries Deucalions Flood Phaetons Flames and the first Judgement in Areopagu much about 333 years before the Sack of Troy about 333 before Lycurgus end who renewed the Olympick Games 333 years after Hercules That we speak not of Messenia desolate about 333 years in Aelian 333 is half 666 and 333 Dayes are 12 Times 666 Hours which are the Monthly Change of the Sun and Moon and thence the Great Number of Change to the World and in Years also As it was to Carthage in Paterculus and Rome with Jerusalem and other places here discussed And to clear this way of reckoning Years by Hours of the Jewish Year the Author shews the Rise and Use of Hours with diverse Nations long before they be specifyed in Polibius or Plutarch who yet can tell us the first Hour of Romulus and the Great account of Hours among the Jews whose Year is a Model of time in All Ages So that the old Patriarchs and all the great things of Scripture were in Harmony to the Dayes and Hours of the Jewish Year and to the Site and Motions of the Heavenly Bodies As Hours are made by the Moon moving 24 of her Diameters in 24 Hours and the Earths Diameter 24 times in the Suns which may be distant from the Earth twice 666 Radij As the Moon 66 and Canaans Longitude is 65 or 66 in Ptolomy And as the first Heavenly body is above the Earth 65 of its Radij and the first Fruits of Earth were at 65 Hours of Creation in the 3 d Day which was the first of Herbs and Animals so the Feast of the First fruits was the 65th Day of the Year and in the 3 d Month As the Tabernacles twice 65 or 130 Dayes After Pentecost Adam was about 130 Hours of Creation and Seth at 130 years as many reckon Abraham was After Terah 130 years in which time the Equinox Changeth a whole Day as 12 Hours in 65 Years Enos was born at 235 Years of the World and the Paschal Lambs were Tyed up and Tryed at 235 Hours of the Jewish year and the Great Cycle of the Moon called the Golden Number is of 235 Months For which Here is an easier way to reckon the Moons Motions and the Suns Cycle with the Dayes of the Week in any year of Christ or of the Julian Period Kainan was born at 325 years of the World and 325 Hours of their year came to the Morning Sacrifice of the Passover slain at Hour 333 just half 666 and Kainans Birth was 666 Years before Enochs Translation or twice 666 before the Flood Mahalael as many years After Kainan as there were Hours to the Evening Sacrifice of the third Day As the First Fruit Omer heaved up on the 3 d Day After the Passover He was born 1260 as Kainan 1332 before the Flood and dyed in the year of the World 1290. Jared the 6 from Adam was born 135 and lived 187 years After Kainan and the Morning Sacrifice of the 6th Day of the World and of the Month and Year and so of the First fruit Omer from the Tying of the Paschal Lambs was at Hour 135 and the Evening Sacrifice of the 8th Day for Circumcision and the Christian Sabbath was at hour 187. As from Pentecost to the Great Hosanna there were Dayes 135 and to the Great Atonement Dayes 187 As between the Vernal and Autumnal Equinox 187 and in the Pentateuch 187 Chapters As the Cubits of the Inward Court of Israel were 187 and the Outer 135 which being added to 130 makes 365 As Dayes in a year or Veins in our Body or Negative Precepts in the Law And Kainan was twice 365 before Noah 365 before Jareds End As Mahalaels was before the Flood and the Flood before Abrahams Call if born at his Fathers 70 As Hours of the Jewish year to the First fruit Omer Reaped After
Methuselah To Abraham Or from Noah To Mâ—ses and Aaron From the Flood To the Ark in Zion or the Temple As from Joseph and Jacob To Nehemiah Or from Egypt and the Wilderness To the Dedication by the Machabees And Thence to the Christians Getting Jerusalem As from Gideons Ephâ—d To our Saviour and from the Romans First Taking Jerusalem To the Popes Decretals and Councel of Lateran For Transubstant In the Time of Innocent the 3 d Excommunicating the Emperour As From Christ To the Sicilian Vesters Or the First Roman Jubilie with the Second Wo. or House of Ottoman As from the Sack of Ierusalem or Revel written To the 2 d Roman Iubilie Or To the Golden Bull and order of Iesuans or Iesuats As From the 10 Persecutions ending in Constantine To the Great Change at Queen Elizabeth And From Iulians Time To the Persans Taking Babylon and to K. Charles in England and Free Religion in France And although there were Great Defections in the Christian Churches before Iulian Yet Then was the Great Apâ—stacy which seemeth Pointed out To the Thessalonians And the Last Oracles said that Christian Religion should Stand but a Great Year Which came out in Iulians Time about 365. And Thence the Roman Empire did begin its Mortal Wound As first by the Gauls about 365 of the City Built And whatever else the Revelation Beast may be vet we must All agree To That last verse of the 17th Chapter And the Wâ—man which thousawest is That Great City which Reigneth over the Kings of the Earth Which certainly was Rome in some State or Other That we say nothing of Mysterium written in the Popes old Frontal In Constantine the Empire Trembled In the Western Legions drawing off to New Rome with 7 Hills also but not 7 Kings or Governments And a Kingdom Divided cannot stand The Church did Creep again a little After Julian But with standing stools and Forms of some that did pretend to Teach it first to Go with a strange Chaos of Jewish Rites or Heathen And the Tares of the Envious one grew up Till They could not be Rooted out but with Danger to the Wheat also First in Lent only Till Easter which Crucified all the Body of Christ Marriage is Forbidden And at Laodicea the signal place in the 3 d of Revelation Then at Other Times and Then To the Clergy at All Times in Siricius When the name of Catbolique came up with the Golden Law for Lent about 380. Then Canonical Hours about 390 A very signal Number both to Jewes and Gentiles for the Last Olympiad and the First Vse of Mass with the head of John the Baptist and Then the Bones of Samuel and ere long of Stephen and Nicodemus Brought into Europe The Empire shakes upon Contest of the Emperor and Stilico by whom Alaciâ—us was Beaten Yet so countenanced That he sacketh Rome From That Deadly Wound 1260 years come out about 1666 Or somewhat sooner At the End of the Three Great Years and half or 3500 years of Esaus Strugling with Jacob. Which Esdras makes the End of the Old World and Beginning of a New And all the Bible maketh Them the Great Types of Election and Reprobation or of Children of Light and Darkness The first Dragon or Beast of the Bottomless pit with 7 Heads and 10 Horns or 10 Hours for 7 dayes of the week And the shortest Night had 10 Hours And as the Light might Rise in 7 hours so the Sun might Rise in 10. And Those 2 Numbers of 7 and 10 were Sacred to others also As in Justine Curtius Arrianus and others of the Persians and Alexanders Weeks before the Roman in the Attick Nights or Genial Days and Saturnals And as the Revelation hath its 4 Watchers and 24 Elders for the 24 hours So the 7 Spirits For the 7 days of the week which return in a Circle As the Months of Nisan and Tizri Which were Sevenths to each other and had â—easts alike As 7 equal Circles in a Ring of 6 and one in the Centre as 6 Tones and 2 Halvs in and an Eight or Diapason 7 being the only Number of 3 Wholes and a Half The Jews Law had 7 Heads to Noah 10 Horns to Moses with 666 Sections or at most 669. And its Heb name is akin to Thorus or Taurus a Beast wch in Hebr leters maketh just 666. And None might buy or sell among them or be Denisons that did not submit to the 7 Heads of Noahs Laws 7 Things were left by Moses for the Poor 7 Sabbaths 2 in Tabernacles one in Pentecost and 2 at Pass and 7 Passovers in Script besides Atonement and the weekly Sabbath Which 2 last forbad All work the other 5 but Servile only 7 Servitudes in the Iudges 7 Liquors in Moses Song 7 Lamps and 7 Spirits on the Messiah Esay 11 As 7 Spirits before the Throne or 7 Eyes or 7 Planets in Heaven and 7 Metals in Earth seven pair of Nerves and 7 Principal parts in the Bowels So they had 7 Elders or Deacons in their Churches or Synagogues wch must be of 10 at least As usually a Paschal Lamb was for 10 Recorded and so the Romans could reckon them at the Last Passover And at 10 they brought their Children to Fast and other points of the Law and their Lowest Consistories were at places of 10 Families As the Saxon Decennars or Tithings And the Romans had their signal Tithings and 10 Circuits in their Provinces 10 Kingdoms as Horns on the Last Head of the Beast Which may be the Great Spirit of the World with 7 Heads and 10 Horns As God also pleased to manifest himself in 10 Laws and 7 Spirits for 7 Days of the week and One of Them had also a Deadly Wound as it was the Jewish Sabbath but Got up again and yet so changed That it was as an Eight Day and yet but One of the 7 As the 7 or 8 Heads in Revel But there is a Man can be our peace when the Assyrian Overflows us When he shall Tread in our Palaces Then we shall raise against him 7 Shephards and 8 Principal Men. Yea and the Spirit of the Lord shall set up a Standard against him The Revelation doth require a Volume by it self Now Only the Holy City Trodden down As David Got it from the Tredding Jebusites and Nehemiah from the Cuthites and Machabeus from Antiochus And Jerusalem shall be Trodden down of the Gentiles Till the Times af the Gentiles be fulfilled Or as Paul Until the Fulness of the Gentiles And Then All Israel shall he saved or Redeemed For the Time of your Redemption draweth Nigh The 42 Months are 1260 Dayes as 5 months of the First Wo are 150 days As the 5 first months of the Flood quite hiding the Earth in Water as the Baptists Mother was Hidden 5 months and in the 6 t the Angel came to the Virgin And at 30 Dayes apiece 42 Months are 1260 Dayes As the Dayes of the Woman and
be more than Hivites that is Serpents flying from Joshua Though the Times agree with the Poets Penulus and other Remains of Hebrew Pillers or some flying from Canaan And their Brother Phoenix is the Great Man in Phaenicia Father to another Belus whence Sicheus Pigmaleon and the Famous Dido As perhaps also to the Red Sea or Phaeniciax that is Red and a kin to Erythrâ—â— Phinâ—us and Cepheus with his Daughter Saved from the Dragon by Perseus With Wings also For flying from These Dragons or Serpents and a Flood from the Dragons Mouth And the Phaenix Rising out of her Ashes and Odors may be an emblem of Him and Them that were by Death to Conquer Death and live beyond the Phaenix Which yet liveth 660 or 666 years The Jews give it 1000 as the only bird that did not taste the Forbidden Fruit As they speak on that of Job I shall dye in my Nest as the Phaenix In Herodotus or others though the Romans knew it not till after Christ or 66 of Augustus 666 from Josiah 1666 from the Flood or 5 times 666 from Creation Slain by a King of Egypt or Sodom where our Lord was slain When Jacob cursed Levies Cruelty He said Let not my Soul be in their Secret or in Sodam which in Hebrew is just 666. And Cheleem that makes them Men the Number of a Man 665. And God doth much forbid Chelaim their Mixing Seeds As they are caught in Chelaim which some translate the Stocks in Isa 42. And Chelaim is Michael Turned almost Backward Myster or Mystery an Hebrew word As Sithrah and Hester Hidden Making 666 As Thorus or Taurus in Hebrew 666 and so is Satur 666 Secret or Full and ready to vomit As he speaketh at his Making All things New In Laodicea As at drinking on the Cross It is finished Which was from Egypt as many years as there were Hours in the year before Pentecost or its Prep and from the first Pentecost in Canaan as many years as That was after Enoch And as Moses Face shining might represent our Saviours shining with Moses in the Transfig So might His Long stay in the Mount denote ours Saviours stay in Heaven while the Chief Levite or False Prophet makes a Golden Calf or Image of the Beast as Psalm 106. with Revelat. â—3 And Moses Last Coming from the Mount to make the Tabernacle at the Feast of Tabernacles might denote our Saviours Last coming to the Feast of Tabernacles yet to come And as 40 dayes Rain in the Flood did shew us so many years between the first Ark and the 2 d at Shilch As there be Hours in 40 dayes So there were as many years between the 2 d Ark and 2 d Temple As Hours in Moses 40 Dayes 960. And Moses Breaking the first Tables at his first 40 dayes might note their Breaking of the Law and their City Broken by the Caldees in the same month and season when he brake the Tables And the Renewing of Those by God might shadow both Their Renewall by Joshua Zorobbabel Ezra and Nehemiah And the Law renewed and written in our Hearts As put in the Ark and Mercy-Seat by our Saviour and His Making All things New As at the Tabernacles in the Revelation And the Feast of Tabernacles was After the Day of Pentecost or giving the Law to Moses 130 Dayes or 3120 Hours As there are 3120 years from Moses To 1666. which is from Christ As many years as from Creation to the Church Restored After the Flood As If His saying The Dayes of the Son of Man shall be as the Dayes of Noah did intimate as many years from his speaking That To his Coming There described As there were Years to Noahs Flood Which was at the first Hour of the 70th Day of the World Or at 1656 years As 1656 Hours come to the 70th Day ending at 1680 Hours And then He should come again before 1680 or at most about 1690. which is from His speaking As many years as the Flood was from Creation And his saying No man knew the Day and Hour of the End of the World may teach us to measure Times by Dayes and Hours also Which may be now better known since the Revelation And although there may be Hints of his Coming To the Great Feast of Tabernacles As he came and shewed himself In the Last and Great Day of Tabernacles John 7. yet i◠〈◊〉 be said that No man knoweth the End of the World with its Day or Hour For though there must be a New Heaven and a New Earth yet All the Works of God and in special The Earth shall abide for ever But the Meek shall inherit the Earth and Righteousness shall dwell in it Righteousness and Peace Wait on the Lord and he shall exalt thee To inherit the Earth And When the Wicked are cut off Thou shalt see it So that a man shall say Verily there is a Reward for the Righteous Verily there is a God that Judgeth in the Earth FINIS
bringeth his Judgements to Light in the Morning And the Scripture calls for Judgeing in the Morning or before the Judges Head or Heart is Clouded As the Iews expound That saying of Solomon Wo to Thee O Land where Princes Eat in the Morning when they should be Praying or Judging Which may lead us up To the First Judgement Which they place at the 2 d Morning of Creation When the Lord did Judge his Own Acts of the Day before As Examine your selves in Bed and he still and That Judgement did Separate the Waters on the Right Hand and Left Sending some Down and Taking Others Up Above the Firmament As the First Emblems of Election and Reprobation As the Goats of Seir the Goat and Lambs of Rachel the Sheep as in Heb with Her Benjamin or Sâ—n of the Right Hand As Leah the Left But at the Passover the Goats were accepted as the Sheep and some at all New Moons and Solemn Eeasts for Sin-offerings But the First Judgement was about the 40th hour of Creation or 42. As That Number is For Judgements and Punishments in all the Bible As 40 Stripes and 40 Dayes and 40 years and 42 Months or 42 Mansions As 42 Children by the Bears of Elisha And 42 is 6 times 7 or 7 times 6 and so the Great Crisis of 6 and 7 which is Rest and Motion As Fine Twined Linnen called Six in Heb. Doubled on the Tabernacle Door or Turned Every 6 hours Turn the Sun and Moon at Cardinal Points or Quarters of Heaven called Spirits in Heb. As if Angels stood at the 4 Quarters of Heaven or 4 Corners of the Earth as 4 Watches and 4 Winds Turning the Hour Glass of Time Which is but a change and flux of Mite which is Motion or Mites or Moats in Heb. The Vppermost part of the Dust As Skie doth also signifie in that Language As if All the Tides of Time and the Ocean were but Turning an Hour-Glass of the Moon and Earth about the Guilt Rundle of the Sun And as One goes up it empties out the Moats or Sand or little Tinning atomes in Hebr To the Other So that When the Moon is highest the Earth is fullest or the Waters Highest in the Sea Or its Central Fire makes it like a Boyling Pot whose water leaves the bottom as the 64th of Esay with Iob and the Psalms 6 hours Turn the Sun and Moon and 4 times 6 Turn Light into Darknesse Which was first Done at the 25tâ— hour of Creation And 25 is the Lower Root of 666. That great number of Change and Motion to the Sun Moon World Church and All as anon 6 times 6 hours bring up the Sun of the 2 d Day and 10 times 6 the 3 d. Which Turneth downwards at the 65 t and 66 the signal Number in the Jewish year of 24 and 42. 6 times 6 is 36 and 10 times 36 or 360 Hours bring up the Full Moon and so many Dayes the Full Year To the Eastern Nations Aegypt added 5 Days and at length 6 Hours And this became the Julian year which Caesar had from Aegypt 1461 Aegyptian years of 365 Dayes make 1460 Julian Which they called the Great Cynick or Sothiack year As at the Doâ—-star This was just 200 more then 1260 which is 3 and an half 360. Months in the East had 30 dayes apiece and so we finde 150 Dayes in the 5 first Months of the Flood and 1260 Days in 42 months But they say that if the New Moon were seen in the 30th Day It was counted for the first of the Month following But of late the Jews go by Mean Motions and account 59 Dayes For 2 Months Short of the True Middle Motion by an Hour and about 29 minutes And though they found a way to reconcile their Lunar months To the Solar year we need it not For God hath bounded out our way by Dayes when Ever the year began For the first 14th Day was the Passover and 15th the Feast of Unleavened Bread for 7 Days more and 16th for the First fruit Omer and the 50th next was Pentecost And the Feast of Trumpets was the first Atonement the 10th and Tabernacles 15th of the 7th month of their year when Ever it began Which From Aegypt was about the New Moon next the Vernal Equinox which must be Past they say before the Passover But we need not dispute it Though it might be cleared by their best Authors and by Anatolius and Eusebius As of late by Petitus With the Roman Yoak they shunned so by Crucifying Christ They were forced To the Julian Form also Yet they kept their Feasts by Moons and made them Tables much like Ptolomies In other things they could admit the Julian year and the rather because the 6 odd Hours in single years did keep their Equinox at a Cardinal point or one of their Great Watches But others kept the 6 odd Hours Till they made a Day and so the 4th year was Bissextile from the 6 t Calends of March or 24th of February Doubled That the Dayes of the week or Feriae might keep their wonted letters in the Common Cycle And there is Greater Harmony by Julian years in 4. then seemeth to be known to them that first used it For as the 4th Watch of Creation brought up the First Light and the 4th Day the First Sun and the 4th Week the Moon to meet the Sun again so the 4th Year brings them to meet in the same Day of the Week and is not 2 minutes more or less then 14 dayes above the Jubilie of 49 Moons Which still return To the same Day of the Week And 8 years have 3 minutes more then a full month of Weeks above 98 Moons Or a day and half with 41 minutes less then 99. So that in 8 score years they want but one day and one Hower of meeting as before and in 1600 years but 10 days and 10 Howers So that meeting on the 11th of May and 10 Houers after noon in the First of Christ They met again in 1601 the First of May just at noon And parting the years of Christ by 4 and so the Julian Period After 9 or rejecting 9 The Remainder sheweth how long the year proposed is After a Bissextile And the Quotient sheweth that the Sun and Moon met so many fortnights from their former meeting As there be Vnits in that Quotient Which being added To the year proposed and All divided by 7 The Remainder is the Day of the Week for the First of May And by consequence for the 2 d of Octob. 3 d of Ap. and July 4th of Septemb and Decemb. 5th of June and 6th of March and Novemb. For the year proposed And for the first 8. 15. 22. and 29. of January following and so forward in the next year also But if nothing remain at this Division by 7 The first of May and every Day aforesaid is the 7th Day of the Week the Jewish Sabbath Thus we get the
