imperfect round and grosse for corrupt These 70. yeares begin at the time of the first Captivitie in the reigne of Ioakim Now from this time till the eleventh yeare of Zedekiah when hee was captived the Temple and Citie burnt the Land cannot be said to keepe Sabbaths because the Inhabitants were not yet carried away and therefore it was but a part of these 70. years that she rested Not precisely For reckon from their first inhabiting of those Cities and we find it but 260. yeares or thereabouts unlesse we adde the 40 yeares from comming up out of Egypt But it ought to be understood synecdochicè and figuratè Often mention is made of three years and a halfe of 42 moneths which make so many yeares of 1260. dayes which also make so many years In all which we must needs understand a certaine number to be put for an uncertaine that is for the whole time that runnes on from the passion of Christ till the end of the World Let us consider the drift and scope of the Angels speech Daniel he understands by bookes that the 70. yeares of Captivitie were now even at an end Hereupon hee prayeth that God would bee mercifull to the people and holy Citie An Angel is sent to him and talkes unto him not of the 70. yeares of Captivitie to be ended under Cyrus but of seventy times seven yeares of most glorious deliverance from the slavery of Hell and the Divell to be purchased by Christ. As if the Angel had thus said Thou Daniel thinkest of 70. yeares at the end whereof thy people is to have a deliverance from carnall servitude under Babylon and a restauration of an earthly Ierusalem but I give thee to understand of a farre more glorious liberty and freedom from Sathans slaverie to be purchased by Christ for thy people after 70. times 7. yeares Doe not thou thinke of 70. years which are now even gone and past but of 70 times 7 yeares which when they are come to end thy people and city for whom thou prayest shal obtain this great blessing Wherefore this is spoken in allusion to the 70 yeares of Captivitie to shew that Gods mercy should exceed his judgements seventie times which from that should endure seventy times seven yeare till the comming of Christ and afterwards for ever It is therfore a propheticall prediction and not an hystoricall relation and the circumscription of time is used only for memory sake that after these many yeares they should be sure to obtain such a deliverance as than which they could desire nothing more Not precisely For from the time that God spake unto Abraham whence the yeares must necessarily beginne unto the comming of the children of Israel out of Egypt are 430. yeares as Moses witnesses Exo. 12. If we say that they begin at the fift yeare of Isaac yet from the time that God spake unto that are about twenty yeares From that to the departure of the Israelites whole 400. Wherefore from the time that God spake this till the departure from Egypt are foure hundred synecdochicè above foure hundred precisely What! precisely fourteene in all No. From David to the Captivity of Babylon were twenty seven as M r Broughton confesseth In the other two were indeed fourteene Full and whole By no means For Christ was buried on the Evening of the sixt day the same day he dyed The seventh day he rested in the grave upon the eight day early he rose againe So that he was but two whole dayes in the grave and scarce that neither Now the Day and the Night make one Day Gen. 1. And therfore because Christ rested in the Sepulchre part of three dayes he is sayd by a synecdoche to bee three dayes and three nights in the heart of the Earth If the Angel had sayd The seventy yeares of your Captivity in Babylon But after 80. times seventy yeares Christ shal be slaine and so you shall obtaine a more glorious freedome Then had the Angel spoken precisely for from that time to the death of Christ was precisely five hundred sixty yeares But so the force efficacy of the Type had bin obscured To which the Angel would allude by the name of seventy times seven yeares Antiochus his persecution continued three yeares and a halfe precisely Dan. 7. Now Antiochus was a Type of Satan And therefore the Time times and halfe a Time forty two moneths 1260. dayes all making up the same number of yeares are uttered by S. Iohn Apoc. 11.12 13. in allusion to Antiochus persecution For by this he comforteth the Woman that is the Church persecuted by the Dragon Satan That this persecution should last but a little while even as that of Antiochus not properly but figuratively for Satan persecuteth the Church unto the end of the world That the seventy weekes are not to bee understood precisely but by a synecdoche is thus proved Seventy weekes are determined upon thy People saith Gabriel Dan. 9. ver 24. That these are whole and full so many is proved by their partition For there are seven weekes from the going forth of the Commandement ver 25. and sixty three weekes when the street and wall shall be builded and againe after threescore and two weekes Christ shall be slaine But not presently after those sixty nine weekes but in the middle of the last weeke ver 27. Where it is sayd And he shall confirme the Covenant with money for one weeke and in the Middle of the weeke he shall cause the sacrifice and oblation to cease Then thus the Reason stands If Christ dyed in the middest of the last weeke then from the first yeare of Cyrus to the death of Christ are not precisely 490. yeare● but 486. and a halfe The reason of the consequence is plaine For if Christ dyed in the middest of the last weeke i.e. the seventieth week then to the death of Christ from Cyrus the first are but sixty nine weeks and a halfe Now sixty nine weekes cum dimidio make but foure hundred eighty six yeares cum dimidio whereas seventy whole weekes make foure hundred ninety yeares But Christ dyed in the middest of the last weeke This is manifest For Christ then dyed when sacrifice and oblation ceased This is proved by the ninth and tenth to the Hebrewes But sacrifice and oblation ceased in the middest of the last weeke This Daniel expressely saith Cap. 9. ver 27. Therefore from the first yeare of Cyrus to the death of Christ are not foure hundred ninety yeares precisely And by consequent the seventy weekes are to be understood figuratè and synecdochicè not praecisè and tropriè Christ was baptized about three yeares and a halfe before he dyed and then saith Funccius was sacrifice oblation abolished out of the place Mat. 3. ult This is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased And therefore God was pleased afterward with no other sacrifice but the immaculate Lambe Christ.
