TO King William and Queen Mary.  
May it please your Majesties,  
THis small Treatise, altho' it come from the Hand of one of the meanest of your Subjects, yet it is a Collection of some of the Words of the Wise, and of their Dark Sayings, which declare the End of this World from the Beginning. They are given by one Shepherd, and the Measures of them are all equal and upright, for they are Words of Truth, and do jointly show, that the Glory of this World is passing away as the Flower of the Field, which withers as soon as it is cut down. But the Word or Promise of our God shall be raised up by him, who Proclaims to the Ends of the World, and Commandeth that it be said to Jerusalem that her Warfare is Accomplished; and to Sion, Behold thy Saviour comes, his Reward is with him, and his Work before him. These are the good tidings which were promised to be sent to Jerusalem by an Evangelist that shows the former things and the latter end of them, and declareth things to come  
God that hath sent you to Deliver these Nations from Popery and Slavery, and hath Covered your Head in the Day of Battle, bless you with Wisdom of Discerning of Men, and with that understanding which the Men of Issachar had to know the Times, and what Israel was to do when David was to be made King. That Profaneness may be suppressed, and Oppression removed, Men of Truth fearing God and hating Covetousness may be Countenanced, then shall your Light break forth as the Morning, the Lord shall go before you to destroy your Enemies, and the God of Israel, shall be your rearward.  
So Prayeth your Majesties faithful Subject, Elias Palmer.   

THE PREFACE TO THE READER.  
COmmon Experience tells us that the meanest Plant is influenced from Heaven as well as the greatest Oak or Cedar, tho' not so much, because it doth not take up so much room, nor is so useful in the World.  
The Spirit of Christ is given to every Man to Profit withal, by him that distributes to every Man severally as he will. We can understand nothing so perfectly as that which we do understand by Number, Weight or Measure; and it is for this Cause that God hath been pleased to give us the Knowledge of himself in an Holy Trinity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, according to the Measure of the Age and fullness of Christ, as it is Written, and easy to be red, Prov. 22. 20. Have not I written to thee three, or a Trinity in Council and Knowledge, to make thee know the certainty of the Words of Truth: But all the things of God which are above this are out of our reach, for they are above our Understanding beyond our Measure, and do exceed our Number, yet they are ●ot contrary to our Reason, or contrary to our Faith, which comes to believe the Incomprehensibleness of God, as Ezekiel was lead into the Waters of the Sanctuary by Measure, till they came to be a River which no Man could pass over.  
The Measure of Time used in Holy Scripture are Seven and Ten Years, taken from the beginning of the Old or New Creation, and increased by an arithmetic or Geometrical Progression of Years which are not to be reduced from a greater to a less Proportion, any more than the Four Months before Harvest can be computed with the Solar Year, in which the Jews did Celebrate but three Festivals.  
Nor doth the Order of Melchizedeck consist in likeness only between him and Christ, as some Men may think, but in Order of Time, as he was first King of Righteousness, and after that King of Peace.  
Typical Numbers that compute a Day for a Year have equal Warrant with the great Year of Redemption, which is grafted on the Solar Year, which was every Year Celebrated by the Jews, and with the Order of Melchizedeck, which is Ten Years for every Day, divided by 5 and 5 Years, Beginning at the Promise, and Ending with the last Day of Redemption, without any Day more or less.  
Such as conclude the three Persons in Holy Trinity are denied, are mistaken; but in regard some sharp Disputes have arisen in former times, they are here distinguished by the Holy Trinity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit of God in Jesus Christ, that was, that is, and that is to come.  
The Mistake of two Years in our account may prolong the End of the Year of our Redemption from 1690. and half, to 1693. or more.  
John Baptist brought in War, but the second Baptist brings in the Gospel of Peace, and whoever shall not hear the Words of that Prophet shall be destroyed from among his People.   

Advertisement to the Reader.  
THere were not Printed above two Sheets of this small Treatise before the Painful and Inquisitive Author died, which has prevented thee of clearer Explication of some Obscure and Allegorical Phrases, of further Proof of some doubtful Propositions; as that the Melchisedechian Order is not Likeness but Number; as also of much enlargement in comparing all the apocalyptic Numbers in Daniel and John with this Comprehensive and Fundamental one to Abraham.   

CHAP. I.  
That the measure of the great Year of our Redemption, which is the Year of God's Promise and Performances, was shewed to Abraham Ten Years before the Covenant.  
THe Promise that was made to Abraham in Christ was of a Kingdom. That he should be the Heir of the World, whereof the Land of Canaan was given him for a Type; yet from the time of the Promise to the time of Performance in giving him Possession of the Land of Canaan, after he was returned from the Slaughter of the Kings, was Ten Years, consisting of 3650 dayes; which being compared one Day for a Year, as the Prophet Ezekiel was commanded to reckon, did show the time appointed for Fulfilling the Promise to be 3650 Year, even Ten Year for every Day, as by the Computation of the Holy Scriptures in the several particulars thereof will most undeniably appear to be true, according to the Solar Calendar hereunto annexed.   

CHAP. II.  
That this great Year of Redemption is divided into three Parts.  
THis Year of Redemption hath three parts. The first part begins at the Promise made to Abraham in the 2078 Year of the World, and ended when Joseph was made Ruler in Egypt 210 Years after. This 210 Year is called in the Hebrew Aleph Dor, the First Age, and in the Solar Calendar is the three first Weeks of the great Year, which endeth in the Year of the World 2288.  
The Second part of this great Year is the Ten Years, which began when Joseph was made Ruler in Egypt, and ended when God went down with Jacob into Egypt, which was in the 2298 Year of the World, and 220 Year after the Promise, this space of time in the Solar Calendar is but one day.  
The Third Part of this great Year contains the whole time of our Lord's Infancy, while he is put under the Tutors and Governors of this World until the time appointed of the Father, which is 70 Jubilees, or 3430 Years, which began at the time when God went down with Jacob into Egypt, and endeth at the measure of the Age and fullness of Christ as a Perfect Man, which is the end of this World. And this space of time in the Solar Calendar is the 49 Weeks of Daniel, which are 49 times 70 Years, and end with the last day of the World, which is the 5728 Year of the World, and the 3650 Year after the Promise. But these Dayes are shortened, as hereafter shall be shewed.   

CHAP. III.  
Of the Covenant made with Abraham.  
BEfore I come to speak of the Measures of the Covenant, and of the Measures of the Age and fullness of Christ, and the fullness of the World in him, I thought it necessary to speak first of the Covenant made with Abraham, and of the four Symbols of that Covenant, and what they do signify.  
The Covenant was made with Abraham in the Land of Canaan Ten Years after the Promise, which was made in Ur of the Chaldees in the 70 Year of the Life of Abraham, and in the 2078 Year of the World.  
The Promise was made by God the Father, but the Covenant was made by God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, even the Holy Trinity of God in Jesus Christ of the one part, and with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob of the other part.  
The Covenant was a Covenant of Sacrifice for the Death of Christ the Son of Abraham, and of all the Posterity of the First Adam in him, for he Dyed for all because all were dead.  
The other Covenant is called the New Covenant, or the Oath of God for the raising up of Christ from the Dead, a New Man, and of a New World in him, who is the beginning of the Creation of God, so that as in Adam all dyed, even so in Christ shall all be made alive in their proper Time and Order.   

CHAP. IV.  
Of the four Symbols of the Covenant, and what they signify.  
THe Kingdom Promised to Abraham was entailed upon the fourth Generation, but because Abraham had no Son when the Covenant was made, therefore the four Symbols did represent, the four first Generations according to their Births, and they are called Aleph Dor, which is the First Age.  
These Symbols of the Covenant were Beasts of the Earth and Fowls of Heaven; the Beasts of the Earth are Beasts of Sacrifice, and represent Jesus Christ coming in the Flesh of the Jews to be a Sacrifice for the sins of the World, that Salvation might be of the Jews.  
The Fowls of Heaven did represent Jesus Christ risen from the Dead, and all the Spiritual People in the dayes of the Gospel after his Resurrection.  
The Beasts of Sacrifice were a Calf, and a Goat, and a Ram, which were as well numbered as divided, or cut in twain: But the Fowls were neither numbered nor divided, because they are the fourth Generation, and were included in the third. Our Translation saith they were a Turtle-Dove and a young Pigeon, but they were a Turtle-Dove and an Eagle, as the same Word is translated Deut. 32. 21. these dead Bodies being made alive, are called the Cherubims, whereof the Eagle is one.   

CHAP. V.  
Of the smoking Furnace and the burning Lamp.  
THrough these Female carcases the two seraphic Males do pass as the Law and Gospel, like a two-edged Sword, the one Killing, the other giving Life, for they are living and powerful, piercing to the dividing in sunder the Soul and Spirit, the Joints and Marrow, and are the Judge of the Thoughts of the Heart, and a Discerner of the Intents thereof. Nor is there any Creature that is not manifest in his sight, but all things are Naked and Open to his Eyes, at whom or with whom the Word is for us or against us as a Witness; and this is the Word that is so very near us, in our Mouth, and in our Heart, that we may do it: This Word is called Conscience, and whosoever sins against Conscience sins against Christ.   

CHAP. VI.  
That Jesus Christ was made a Priest by Oath of God, according to the Order of Melchisedeck.  
THere is one thing farther to be Opened, before we come to speak of the Measure of the Covenant, and that will be to show how Christ was made a Priest by Oath of God, after the Order of Melchisedeck.  
The next Ten Years after the Promise hath in it the Order of Melchisedeck, which is an equal Division of those Ten Years between Abraham after the Flesh, and Abraham after the Spirit.  
During the first of these five Years Abraham lived after the Flesh under the government of his Natural Father Terah, until Terah dyed in Haran. The other five Years Abraham lived after the Spirit; for when his Father Terah was dead, he was under the Conduct of the Father of his Spirit, who lead him into the Land of Promise, and at the end of the second five Years gave him Possession of the Land of Canaan, according to the Promise, and he was blessed of Melchisedeck, the King of Righteousness, who was afterwards King of Salem.  
After this Order was our Lord made a Priest by Oath: The Oath of God is the 7 of God, for Shebang signifies Seven as well as to Swear an Oath. As there are two Fives in the Order of Melchisedeck, so are there two Sevens in the Oath of God, for every Oath consists of two Parts, a Blessing and a Curse; the Curse is our own by Nature, and is upon all the Posterity of Adam, but the Blessing cometh from God only, and that of his Free Grace.  
Jesus Christ was made a Curse for us after this Order, that we might receive the Blessing in him.  
1. As Abraham abode five Years under the Government of his Natural Father, until he dyed in Haran:  
So did our Lord abide 7 times five, even 35 Years, under the Tutors and Governours of the World, which were the Natural Fathers of Christ, the Jews, until they Crucified him, and he dyed under the Curse due to our Sins at Jerusalem, as Terah dyed under the first Covenant at Haran.  
2. As Abraham was set free from the Government of his Natural Father when he was dead:  
So was Christ and his Church set free from the Dominion of the Law, of Sin and Death, which was their first Husband or Ruler, that they might be Married to another Husband that dyed for them, and rose again, to mary them to himself.  
3. As Abraham was raised up by his Spiritual Father after Terah was dead, to enter into the Land of Promise, where he was blessed of Melchisedeck:  
So our Lord after he was risen from the Dead received the Promise of the Father, which was the Holy Spirit of Promise  shed forth upon his Body the Church at Pentecost; but the Harvest of it is reserved for the great Pentecost now at hand.  
4. As Abraham at the end of the second five Years slaughtered the Kings in the Land of Canaan:  
So our Lord Jesus at the end of 7 times 5, which was 35 Years from his Resurrection, did slaughter his Enemies, the Jews, by the Hand of Titus Vespasian, who laid Waste their Temple, Worship and Government, as it appears at this day.   

CHAP. VII.  
That the Measures of the Symbols of the Covenant made with Abraham, did fore appoint the Times in which Joseph the fourth Generation should be Ruler in Egypt 210 Year after the Promise.  
THe Cutting of the Calf in twain Cut off Life from Death, made two Covenants of one. The first Covenant was Death, the other is the New Covenant of Life and Peace in Jesus Christ.  
These two Covenants of Life and Death were equally divided to us in Christ in the four first Generations before they were born, and before the World began, which was when God went down with Jacob into Egypt, as hereafter will be made more plainly to appear.  
The Number of each Symbol sheweth the time when each of the said Generations should be produced, and the time when Joseph should be made Ruler in Egypt, and the said fore-appointed times were thus limited.  
First, Abraham Cuts the Calf in twain.  
This Calf was three Years old, and when it was divided according to the Order of Melchisedeck, it was 3 times 5 Natural, and 3 times 5 Years Spiritual.  
And it came to pass, that at the end of 3 times 5, which is 15 Years next after the Promise, Abraham takes Hagar the Bondwoman, or first Covenant, by whom he had his Natural Son Ishmael.  
And it came to pass also, that 15 Years after Abraham had taken Agar, Isaac the Son of the Free-woman was born according to Promise.  
Secondly, Abraham Cuts the Goat in twain.  
This Goat was but 3 Years old, but being added to the Calf of 3 Years old it is become 6, and by being Cut in twain it is doubled, that is to say it is 6 and 6.  
Abraham multiplies the first 6 by the first 5 Years of Melchisedeck, and it becomes 30 for the first Covenant or Law of Nature.  
And he multiplies the second 6 by the second five Years of Melchisedeck, and it makes 30 more under the New Covenant of Promise.  
And it came to pass after Isaac had waited 60 Years; that is to say 30 Years under the first Testament, and 30 Years more under the New Covenant, which is 60 Years; at the end of the said 60 years Esau and Jacob are born.  
Thirdly, Abraham Cuts the Ram in twain.  
This Ram is but 3 years old, but because it is the double of the last, and contains the Third and Fourth Generations, it is called the Ram of fullness. Therefore it must be fourfold double, that is to say 30, 60, 120, which 120 is four times 30, and it is the double of 60, making 12 times Ten, according to the Number of the 12 Tribes of Israel.  
So that Jacob waited 12 times the first five Years of Melchisedeck under the First Covenant, and 12 times the second 5 years of Melchisedeck under the New Covenant, before Joseph was made Ruler in Egypt.  
And it came to pass, that when Jacob was 12 times Ten, that is 120 Years old, his Son Joseph being the fourth Generation next after the Promise, was made Ruler in Egypt according to the Promise.  
It is to be Noted that the Ram of fullness is called so in the Hebrew, but in our Bibles it is called the Ram of Consecration.   

CHAP. VIII.  
That as the Measures of the four Symbols of the Covenant in the last Chapter are fourfold double in their Faith and Patience; that is to say, they waited 30, 60, 120 Years, even 3 times Ten, 6 times Ten, and 12 times Ten, which is 210 Years after the Promise, until Joseph was made Ruler in Egypt.  
Even so from the time that God went down with Jacob into Egypt unto Joseph, those four Symbols are made alive, and are called the Cherubims, having their Generation also fourfold double from that Pattern or Fore-appointment of the Covenant, that is to say they are 12 times 70, twenty four times 70, and 48 times 70, which is 3360 Years, unto which if you add the 70 Year of Christ, the great Shepherd of the Sheep, that rideth between the Cherubims, leading Joseph like a Flock, it doth complete the times of this World, from God's going down with Jacob into Egypt to the end of the World, as by the Solar Calendar, and by the 70 Weeks of Daniel will most plainly and undeniably appear.  
THe four Conjugations of the Symbols of the Covenant, were four dead Bodies slain by the smoking Furnace of the Law in all the four quarters of the World, but they are made alive by the Lamp or Light of the Gospel, shining in their Hearts, so that as in Adam all Men dyed, even so in Christ shall all be made alive in their proper time.  
Three of these Conjugations of dead Bodies were Earth, but the fourth were Fowls of Heaven: Even so three of the first Cherubims are Beasts of the Earth, and the fourth a flying Eagle.  
Joseph the fourth Generation was advanced in Egypt at the end of 210 years next after the Promise made to Abraham, but Joseph was not Shepherd of Israel until Israel went down thither, and that was Ten years after.  
The Cherubims had each of them four Faces, that is, they had each of them four times the 210 years of the four first Generations, which is 840 years to each Cherubim, from the time that God went down with Jacob into Egypt unto Joseph, leading Joseph like a Flock.  
The second Cherubin had its four Faces, which was 840 years more, making 24 times 70, which is 1680 years from the time of God's going down with Jacob into Egypt unto the Birth of Christ, at the fullness of the appointed time.  
The other two Cherubins are Fowls of Heaven, and are the Turtle-Dove and the Eagle, which are neither numbered nor divided, for they are the Cherubins of the Resurrection, and do contain 24 times 70, which is 1680 years more from the 70 years of Christ unto the end of the World.  
Between these four Cherubins the God and Shepherd of Israel dwelleth, leading Joseph like a Flock, until before Ephraim, Benjamin and Manasseh he stir up his strength and come and save us.  

The Account of these Cherubins, compared with the Years of the World, standeth thus:    Cherubins. In what Year of the World. The First Cherubin with its four Faces of 840 years ended 840 3138 The Second Cherubin with its four Faces of 840 years ended 840 3978 The Shepherd of Israel leading us to death ended 035 4013 The Shepherd of Israel reviving our Souls ended 035 4048 The Third Cherub with its four Faces of 840 years ended 840 4888 The Fourth Cherub with its four Faces of 840 years ended 840 5728  
These Cherubins of Glory overshadow the Mercy-Seat, they are the Hosts of the Natural and of the Spiritual Prince, which do struggle in every Man as well as in the World. They are like the Twins in Rellecka's Womb, who were a Type of these Combatants. But when the time is come Rebeckah shall be delivered, and they shall be separated the one from the other.   

CHAP. IX.  
That the four first Generations are an Allegory of Jesus Christ under the two Covenants, as he was after the Flesh, and as he was after the Spirit.  
AN Allegory is when one thing is spoken and something else is thereby intended to be understood.  
Abraham had two Sons, Ishmael and Isaac; Ishmael was his First-born, the Son of Agar the Bond-woman, he was born after the Flesh; but Isaac was his younger Son, born of Sarah the Free-woman according to Promise.  
These things were literally true, but as they were an Allegory, Ishmael the Son of the Bondwoman represents Jesus Christ born after the Flesh, the Natural Son and Heir of Abraham, born under the Law: But Isaac the Son of the Free-woman, born by Promise, represents Jesus Christ raised from the dead, according to the New Covenant, the Son and Heir of God, who sets him King upon his Holy Hill of Sion. Hereupon Sarah the Free Church casts out the Bond-woman and her Son, that they may have no Inheritance with the Son of the Free-woman, for Justification by the Works of the Law, and Justification by Free-Grace may not stand together.  
Secondly, Isaac had two Sons, Esau and Jacob. Esau was the first born, whose Name doth signify the Worker, a Man of Works. Jacob was the younger Son, he was a Perfect Man, dwelling in Tabernacles, for his Tabernacle was perfect.  
Esau was a Type of Christ after the Flesh, who fulfilled the Covenant of Works, but Jacob is called a Perfect Man.  
Before Jacob and Esau were born, and before they had done either Good or Evil, that the Purpose of God concerning Election of Men in Christ by a New Covenant of Grace and not of Works might stand; it was said to Rebeckah, The elder shall serve the younger, for Jacob have I loved, but I have hated Esau.  
We are Chosen in Christ 1890 years before Christ came in the Flesh, according to the Covenant which was made with Abraham 200 years before the World began, or the Foundations thereof were laid; for the Foundations of the World were laid according to the Number of the Sons of Israel, whose 12 Sons were not become 70 until God went down with Jacob into Egypt, and then they became like the 12 Fountains of Jacob and 70 Palm-trees.  
Even so our Lord, as he was born after the Flesh, fulfilled the Righteousness of the first Covenant, which was the first Testament under which he was rejected, when he was made sin for us, for then this Holy Nazarite lost those days. and was Baptized from the deadness and unprositableness of those Works of the Law, that he might fulfil all Righteousness, and be justified by the Free Grace of God only, according to the New Covenant of Promise.  
Thirdly, reuben was the first-born of Jacob, but the Birth-right and Blessing was given to Joseph, to fall upon the Head of this Shepherd at the utmost bounds of the Hills or Kingdoms of this World, as Jacob's prophesy did foretell, Gen. 49. 26.   

CHAP. X.  
That the four first Generations are the Sample or Pattern of the Coming of the Kingdom of Christ into the World from the time of the Promise made to Abraham.  
THese four first Generations our Translators have translated 1000 Generations, but the Original Words Aleph Dor signify no more than the first or former Age; and Bildad the Shuite calls this Age Dor Roshim, the first or former Age, and sends Job to inquire after it, for saith he, Our dayes upon Earth are a shadow; as if he had said, The first Age is, as indeed it is, Gnomon Mundi temporum, the Index of the times of the World.  
This first Age is called the Bounds of the World, which our Fathers have made, and no Man can reduce or alter them, Prov. 22. 33.  
Jacob calls them the utmost Bounds of the Hills or Kingdoms of this World; our Bibles translate them Everlasting Hills, Gen. 49. 26.  
This first Age was Ordained in Joseph for a Witness of the time, when the First-born shall be Disinherited, as reuben was, and Joseph released from Prison to Rule the House of Pharaoh, Psal. 81.  
From this first Age the Measures of the Generations of the Breast-plate of judgement are taken for the 12 Tribes of Israel.  
Moses calls this first Age the Dayes of the World, because the Dayes of the World are from hence computed, and the End of the World is declared from this Beginning.  
Joseph was a Type of Christ, he was made Ruler in Egypt at the end of 210 Years, but in the middle of those 210 Years Abraham dieth.  
So at the End or sooner Determination of 49 times 70 Year from the time that God went down with Jacob into Egypt, our Lord shall be King over all the World; but in the middle of these 49 times 70 years he dyed at Jerusulem, 1715 years after God went down with Jacob into Egypt.   

CHAP. XI.  
A Second Evidence and Proof from the Breastplate of judgement, that the great Year of our Redemption cannot exceed 3650 Solar Years, from the time of the Promise made to Abraham to the End of the World.  
ALL the Nations had their Inheritance divided to them in Christ according to the Number of the Sons of Isael, when God went down with Jacob into Egypt, for then the Foundations of the World were laid according to that Number of the Sons of Israel. In this account of Time you have our Redeemer stand in the middle of the Years, as Aaron stood between the Living and the Dead, and as the Ark of the Covenant stood between the Blessing at Mount Gerizim and the Curse upon Mount Ebal: So was our Mediator Crucified between two Thieves, the Jew and gentle World, the one reviling him, the other Penitent.  

God divivides the Inheritance of Death and Life with himself to the Church in the 70 Years of Christ, 35 years Death, 35 years Life.    Years since God went down. Years of the World. God went down with Jacob in the 2298 Year of the World. 2298 2298 Twelve times 35 years of Christs coming in the Flesh to die the first square 0420 2718 Twelve times 35 years of his coming in the second square to die 0420 2138 Twelve times 35 years more of his coming to die in the third square 0420 3558 Twelve times 35 years more of his coming to die in the fourth square 0420 3978 At 35 years end from John Baptist's Birth our Lord is Crucified 0035 4013 At 35 years end more Jerusalem is destroyed.     Twelve times 35 years of Christs coming in the Flesh of the Gentiles 0420 4468 Twelve times 35 years of Christs coming in living Stones of the Gentiles 0420 4888 Twelve times 35 years of Christs spiritual coming in the Flesh of the Gentiles 0420 5308 Twelve times 35 years of Christs coming in the last square 0420 5728  
Thus the Breast-plate of judgement is fourfold double, it contains the 70 years of Christ in his Church 48 times, divided into 48 times 35 years Death, and 48 times 35 years Life, which makes 3360 years, and with the 70 years of Christ makes 3430 years; unto which if you add the 220 years before Jacob went down to Egypt, it completes the Year of our Redemption in 3650 years, and Confirmeth the account, and had no day more or less, as in the Solar Calendar is plain.   

CHAP. XII.  
A third Evidence and Proof from Jubilees, that this World and the great Year of our Redemption cannot exceed 3650 Years from the time of the Promise made to Abraham.  
EVery Jubilee was a Type of the End of this World; Deut. 15. 17. it is called Gnolam, which signifies the World. In the Year of Jubilee every Man returned to his Possession and to his Family, as at the End of the World, when every Man shall Reap what he has been Sowing, and return to his Family, whether of Heaven or Earth.  
The first Jubilee was Celebrated by the Jews in the Land of Canaan 50 years after they came out of the Land of Egypt, and they kept their accounts by Sevens, from 49 to 49 years, going forward, but the 50th. year was called by them the 8th. year, because it was one year above the Sevens, and it was always accounted the first year of the next succeeding Jubilee.  
Now the third Evidence and Proof that God determined and fore-appointed the times of the World, and the Bounds of the Habitations of all Nations of Men that dwell upon the Face of all the Earth, not to exceed 3650 years from the time of the Promise made to Abraham, are the Measures of the 70 Weeks of Daniel, which are 70 Jubilees or 49 Weeks of 70 years to the Week, as they are placed in the Solar Calendar, for there is not one day more or less from the time of God's going down with Jacob into Egypt to the utmost end or Expiration of the Solar Calendar and of this World, for this is the whole space of Time appointed by the Father, in which the Heir being a Child, differs nothing from a Servant, tho' he be Lord of all, but is under the Tutors and Governors of this World, until he come to be a Perfect Man at the Measure of the Age and fullness of Christ.  
And for our better understanding of these Measures, the Holy Angel Gabriel directs Daniel to understand them in a double sense, that is to say, Naturally upon his own People the Jews, and their earthly Jerusalem, and to understand them spiritually upon the Holy People and the Jerusalem of the Gentiles, and therefore he divided the Week or 70 Year of Christ in the middle, at which time the Sacrifice and Oblation was made to cease by the Sacrifice of Christ at the end of 49 times 35, which is 1715 years of Christ after the Flesh from the time that God went down with Jacob into Egypt:  
And by the shortening of the last 49 times 35 years upon the Holy People of Christ after the Spirit in an overflowing of Righteousness; for he hath said, that except those dayes were shortened there could be no Flesh Saved:  
Demonstration to the Sense is made hereof in the two Tables of the 70 Weeks of Daniel, whereof 49 times 35 are Death, and 49 times 35 years Life, judgement is laid to the Line, and Righteousness to the balance, but those dayes are shortened in Righteousness, and the hidden Waters of the Spirit shall overflow.   

CHAP. XIII.  
A fourth Evidence and Proof from the Measure of the Age and fullness of Christ, that he is the true Messiah and Saviour of the World, and that the great Year of our Redemption cannot continue 3650 years after the Promise made to Abraham.  
THe Measure of the Age and fullness of Christ, and the Measure of the Age and fullness of this World is in Jubilees.  
As 49 times 35 which is 1715 years did complete the World of the Jews, for it was the end of the World of the Jews, when Christ appeared to take away sin by the Sacrifice of himself:  
So 35 Jubilees which is 1715 years from the time of God's going down with Jacob into Egypt, unto the Death of Christ, is the true Measure of the Age and fullness of Christ after the Flesh, as by the first Table of Daniel's 70 Weeks appears.  
And 35 Jubilees, which is 1715 years from the time of his Resurrection, is the true Measure of the Age and fullness of Christ as a Perfect Man, but these dayes are shortened, so that the Computation of the years of Christ after the Spirit begins at the Birth of Christ, otherwise the Gentiles had been deprived of that common Interest in Christ after the Flesh, in his Birth, Baptism, Death and Burial.  
Every Jubilee of 49 years is the true Measure of the time of Christs Coming in the Flesh of the Jews, and it is the true Measure of the time of Christ's coming in the Flesh of the Gentiles by his Spirit, to complete the Measure of the Age and fullness of Christ as a Perfect Man, in 70 Weeks of 49 Years, or 49 times 70 Years, as by the two Tables of Daniel's 70 Weeks will appear, days of shortening only excepted.  
It was at the end of the 48th. Jubilee that Christ was Born six Months after John the Baptist, which was 1680 Years after God went down with Jacob into Egypt.  
It was at the end of the 48th. Jubilee that our Lord was Crucified and laid in a Grave, 1714 years after God went down with Jacob into Egypt.  
And it was in the end of the 50 Jubilee which was 1750 years after God went down with Jacob into Egypt, that the Jews who had been the Church of God Ten times the Life of Abraham, were rejected, and had a Liberty proclaimed to them from the Service of God to reap what they had been sowing, and were delivered to the Sword, and scattered among all Nations.  
The Measures of the World from the Creation is 7 dayes.  
The Measure of Christ from the Promise 10 years.  
Seven times 7 completes the Number of th● World in a Jubilee of 49 years.  
Seven times 10 completes the Number ●● Christ in his 70 years.  
And 70 times 49, which is 3430 years, completes the 70 Weeks of Daniel.  
To which if you add the 220 years next after the Promise, before God went down with J●cob into Egypt, it makes but 3650 Years, out ●● which the 35 years shortening is abated, and ●● this World cannot continue 3650 years.   

CHAP. XIV.  
Of the Angels Oath, that Time should be n● longer than a Time, two Times and a● half.  
THat which our English Bibles have Translated a Time, two Times and a half, is i● the Original the Appointed Time, two Appointe● Times and an half.  
The Appointed Time is 490 years, which time the Angel Gabriel gave Daniel for a Measure of the Time that should be between th● Release of the Captivity of Babylon by Cyrus and the Birth of Christ, wh●m he calls Messiah the Prince.  
The Man clothed in linen which was over the Waters of the River, was Jesus the Mediator, who had the Rain-bow upon his Head, and the little Book open in his Hand: He set his right Foot upon the Sea, and his left Foot upon the Earth, and swore by him that liveth for ever and ever that time should be no longer.  
There were other two that stood, the one on this side, the other on that side the Lip of the River, which were his two Servants which inquired of him the Time of the End: The Name of the great River was Hia●ekel, the third River of the Garden of Ede●; the two Lips of that River speak the Voice of Hidekel, which is the Voice of dark Sayings or Riddles, which none but the Mediator of God and Man could open, and he lifting up his Right Hand and Left to Heaven, did Swear by him that liveth for ever. it shall be for one Appointed Time, two Appointed Times and an h●lf; that is to say, it shall be for seven Appointed Times divided in the middle, and when they shall have accomplished to scatter the Power of the Holy People, all those things shall end or be ended.  
The 7 Appointed Times divided in the middle are 1715 years of the Holy People, as the other 1715 were of the Jewish Nation.  
But their accomplishing to scatter the Power of the Holy People shortens those dayes, and how much they are shortened of 1715 years, will appear in the Chapter of shortening.   

CHAP. XV.  
Of the Holy Trinity of God in Jesus Christ.  
THe Revelation which God makes to us of himself, is not in any one Person, but in an Holy Trinity of God in Jesus Christ; nor is it made known in the Holy Scriptures to be according to what God is in himself, but according to what he was, what he is, and what he will be to every one of us in Jesus Christ.  
For as he is in himself he is altogether incomprehensible of us, he is above our Measure and above our Understanding, one whom no Man ever yet saw or can see.  
But he hath revealed himself to us in Jesus Christ in an Holy Trinity of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, made manifest to our Sense for the more full Assurance of our Faith, 1 Joh. 1. 1.  
Nevertheless this Revelation is not made to us at once, but gradually in a threefold succession of Time, past, present, and Time to come; that is to say, as he was, as he is, and as he will be, or as he is to come.  
First, As he was to us in Christ under the First Covenant.  
Secondly, As he is to us in Christ under a New Covenant.  
Thirdly, As he will be to every Man in Christ, according to his Works in the judgement of the great day.  
First, He was Death unto Christ, and to every Man else in him, because of the Sins committed against the First Testament.  
Secondly, He is Life to Christ, and to every Man else that believeth in Christ, raised from the dead according to the New Covenant.  
Thirdly, He will be Death or Life to every Man in Christ, when he cometh to Judge every Man according to his Works.   

CHAP. XVI.  
That the Holy Trinity was revealed at the first Creation by three Sabbaths.  
ADam was Created Male and Female by Elohim, which is God the Father, the Male was called Adam, the 
Adam. Adamah.  Female Adamah.  
Upon the Sabbath of the 7th. day Elohim restend from all his Works which he had Created for making, that is for New Making, and so endeth the first Week.  
Upon the first Day of the second Week began the New Creation, which was Female, when Jehova Eloh●m did Regenerate Earth and Heaven, and whe● this Female Creation is perfected with the end of the second Week, 
Ish. Ishah.  then and not till then is the Male called Ish and the Female called Ishah.  
The third Manifestation of God in Flesh shall be when the Holy Spirit shall be poured out upon all Flesh. This Holy Spirit is the Bridegroom, and the Female World his Bride, which is to be upon the first Day of the third Week, called the 8th. day. The 
Gnolam. Gnolmah. Isa. 7. 14. Eccl. 3. 11. Col. 1. 27.  Male is then Gnolam, and the Female Gnolmah.  
This Gnolam is Christ given into the Hearts of the Sons of Adam, without which the Adam could not find out the Work of God from the beginning to the end.   

CHAP. XVII.  
That the Holy Trinity is the threefold Witness of God in Heaven and in the Earth.  
WE cannot know Spiritual things, for they are invisible, unless they be revealed to us by Earthly Patterns or Similitudes, which bear Witness to our Senses.  
There are three which bear Witness in Heaven, ●he Father, the Word, and the Spirit, and these three are one: And there are three which bear Wit●ess on Earth, the Spirit, and the Water, and the Blood, and these three agree in one.  
That which is Witnessed is this, That God so loved the World that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have Everlasting Life; which is the Life promised to the World in Jesus Christ.  
Our Translation calls this Witness a Record, but a Record is generally taken for a Writing or a dead Letter, but a Witness is a living Testimony, and so is this Witness living and powerpowerful in us. The Apostle John saith, This is the Witness, or the thing that is witnessed, that God hath given to us the Life of the World, and that this Life is in his Son, he that hath the Son hath Life, and he that hath not the Son, hath not Life; that is to say, He that Believeth not, hath not Life.  
The Blood of Christ is the first Witness, tho' it be last name: This Witness was given when the Paschal Lamb was slain in Egypt at the Redemption of Israel, and this was the daily Witness in the daily Sacrifice, until our Lord dyed for our sins 1505 years after causing that Sacrifice and Oblation to cease.  
The second Witness upon Earth is Water, the Water of John's Baptism, which beareth Witness, that it is God in Christ Jesus that Washeth and Cleanseth his Church with Water and with the Word, which is the Spirit of Promise, that he might present it a glorious Church to himself without Spot or wrinkles, Eph. 5. 27. John 3. 5. This Witness of Water began with John's Baptism, and is by the Command of Christ to be continued to the end of the World, Matth. 28. 20.  
The third Witness on Earth is the Witness of the Holy Spirit, that is promised to be poured forth upon all Flesh: I indeed, saith John Baptist, Baptize you with Water unto Repentance, but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose Shoes I am not worthy, or suited, to bear, he shall Baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with Fire, whose Fan is in his Hand, he shall thoroughly purge his floor, and gather the Wheat into his Garner, but will burn up the Chaff with unquenchable Fire.  
This is the Sabbath of the 8th. day, on which the Sons of Belial, that is to say, as the Word signifies, those that would not rise with Christ that dyed for them, even all Unbelievers of the Witness of God, shall be as Thorns thrust away, because they cannot be taken with Hands, but the Man that shall touch them shall be filled with Iron and the three of Grace, and they shall be burnt a Burning; that is to say with Fire in the Sabbath: Our Translation mistakes in translating the Word the same place instead of Sabbath.   

CHAP. XVIII.  
That the Holy Trinity is revealed in a threefold Generation or Manifestation of God in Christ.  
IT is Written, To us a Child is born, to us a Son is given, and the Government shall be upon his shoulders. These Words do show us the Holy Trinity of God in Jusus Christ. First, As he is the Son of God by Nature. Secondly, As he is the Son of God by Grace. Thirdly, As he is the King of Glory and Peace.  
To be a Son by Nature, is to be a Son by natural Generation; and so our Lord was the natural Son of God, as the word Jeled signifies, only a Natural Generation; there was no other Male that quickened the Female Seed of the blessed Virgin, Mother of our Lord, but the Word of God, and so that Holy Thing born of her was called the Son of God.  
To be born by Grace, is the Son that is given to us, when there was nothing of Nature to assist, nothing of Blood, nor of the Will of M●n, but a Son freely given to us of the Grace of God.  
Such was the Resurrection of the Son of God, when he was regenerated from the dead, where he lay buried under the Uncircumcision and uncleanness of our Flesh, being made Sin for us, he was a Man without Strength, free among the Dead in the Grave, and cut off from the hand of God for our sakes.  
It was therefore the free Grace of God only that raised him from the dead, saying to him, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee; that is, this day have I raised thee from the dead according to Promise.  
The third and last Manifestation of God in Christ, will be when he shall be revealed and declared to be the Prince of Peace, and shall have the Government of Peace upon his shoulders, after he hath broken the Rod of the Oppressor, as in the days of Midian, and out off the Chariot from Ephraim, and the Horse from Jerusalem, he shall speak Peace to the Heathen, and his Dominion shall be from Sea to Sea, and from the River to the ends of the Earth.   

CHAP. XIX.  
That the Holy Trinity is revealed in a threefold Measure of Time, in the Generations of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.  
THis Revelation was made to Moses at the Bush, when God said, I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob; at which Moses hide his Face, and was afraid to look upon God, who said to him, This is my Name for the World, and this is my Maleship or Memorial for generation and generation, that is to say, according to the two Covenants made with Abraham.  
First, He is the God of Abraham, that is to say, he is God the Father who offered Isaac his only begotten Son, in whom all his seed were called. Heb. 11. 18.  
Secondly, He is the God of Isaac, that is, he is the Son of God raised from the dead, from whence Abraham received his Son Isaac in a figure, Heb. 11. 19.  
Thirdly, He is the God of Jacob, that is, he is the God of Jacob and Israel, even the Holy Spirit, and King of Israel, which is King of the World.  
This blessed Union of Heaven and Earth, makes our Earth or human Nature to be Adama Kodesh, holy Ground, and here Moses's shoes, the human Governments of the World, must be drawn or plucked off.  
This Holy Spirit comprehendeth all the dust of the Earth in these three, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; but our Translation is mistaken in calling it a Measure, instead of three. Is. 40. 12.   

CHAP. XX.  
That the Holy Trinity is revealed in a Threefold Body of Christ.  
THE Holy Trinity is not limited to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in so small a circled of time, for they were all dead in less than 240 years after the Promise.  
But this Revelation is made to the natural seed of Abraham the Jews, of whom concerning the Flesh Christ came to be a Sacrifice for Sin, that so Salvation might be of the Jews, Joh. 4. 22.  
Secondly, This Revelation is made to the Gentiles, who are concorporated and of the same Body with the Jews. Eph. 3. 6.  
Thirdly, It is made to the whole World, which is the Universal Body of Christ, as it is written: Behold the Female World shall conceive, and bring forth a Son, and shall call his Name Immanuel, which being interpnted is God with us.  
Then shall the Kingdom of Heaven be like unto leaven, which a Woman takes and hides in three pecks of meal, till the whole be leavened.( Matth. 13. 33. Gen. 18. 6.) And in that day shall Israel be a Third with Egypt and Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the Earth, when the Lord of Hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the Work of mine hands, and Israel mine Inheritance.   

CHAP. XXI.  
The Holy Trinity was revealed by the Law of Moses, and by the Grace and Truth that is in Jesus Christ.  
THE Law of Moses put Christ after the flesh to death for our sins.  
The Gospel is the Gospel of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead according to the free Grace of God, for as he dyed for our sins, so was he raised up for our Justification.  
The Spirit of Truth is the Spirit that is promised, and this is the third Manifestation of God in Jesus Christ, which will led us into all Truth. This Holy Spirit of Christ will speak no more to us in or under the Shadows of Moses's Law, or in the Parables of the Gospel, but show us plainly of the Father in the truth of the performance of all his Promises, as it is written, Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob, and the mercy to Abraham, which thou hast sworn to our Fathers in the days old, Mic. 7. 20.   

CHAP. XXII.  
That the Holy Trinity is revealed by three Homers of Bread.  
THere were three Homers of Bread from Heaven. The first was the Homer of Mannah in the Wiiderness. The second was the Homer of the First-fruits. The third was the Homer of Mannah which was laid up for their Generations.  
These three Homers were gathered not at a certain rate every day, as our English Bibles have trarslated it in the Line, but as they have better translated it in the Margin, the Word of the Day in its Day. Exod. 16. 4.  
The Homer of Mannah in the Wilderness, which the Fathers did eat of and are dead, was the Law of Moses, but Moses did not give them the true Bread from Heaven, for it was not the Bread of Life.  
The second Homer was the living Bread, the Bread of Life, which came down from Heaven, the Bread of the First-fruits, 
Joh. 6. 33.  that Bread which gave Life to the World in Christ, when God raised him from the dead upon the day of First-fruits; and this is of the Free Grace of God, that gave us the Son of God, and he that hath the Son, hath this Life, which is continued to the World all the appointed weeks of the Harvest.  
The third Homer is the third Manifestation of God in Christ, which is the Homer of the hidden Mannah laid up in the Ark, which is Christ, until the day when the Son of Man shall be revealed. This Revelation shall be when the Ark of the Testimony or Wi●ness shall be opened in Heaven at Pentecost, which is the 50th day, when the 49 days are over, and this is called the 8th day.  
As the First-fruits of the Spirit at Pentecost was a Pledge or Earnest that there shall be an Harvest at the end of the appointed Weeks: So the Homer of the First-fruits of the Spirit doth give an Assurance of the greatness of the Harvest from the hidden Mannah, when God shall pour out of his Spirit upon all Flesh, and the Gates of Righteousness shall be opened upon the last and great day of the Feast of Tabernacles which is the 8th day, on which Jesus stands a while and crieth, That if any man thirst, he may come to him and drink: This he spake of the Waters of the Spirit, which they that believe in him shall then receive in all abundance.   

CHAP. XXIII.  
That the Holy Trintty was revealed by these three, the Altar, the Sanctuary, and the Holy of holiest.  
THE Holy of holiest is the third Heaven into which the Apostle Paul was caught up when he heard words unspeakable: Our Bibles say, they were not lawful for a man to utter; but the Original Phrase doth not imply or intend any unlawfulness, but a Non-existence of them to be uttered; that is to say, there was not in his time any footing for them, because they did not relate to the former part of the Tabernacle, which represented Jesus Christ after the Flesh, who was made a Sacrifice for our sins; there stood the Brazen Altar, whereon the Priests did daily administer according to the Law of Moses.  
Nor did these unspeakable belong to the Second part of the Tabernacle, called the Sanctuary, which did represent Christ risen from the dead, to be the Light and the Life of the World; and therefore here was the golden Altar, the showbread and the Candle-stick which was all of Gold, this is Christ in his Church in the dayes of the New Testament, for they were complete in him who is their Head.  
But these unspeakable words did relate to the third part of the Tabernacle, which is the Holy of Holiest, representing the Holy Spirit of Truth, which is the Sanctifier of all them that shall be sanctified, not with the outward Holiness which was under the Law in a worldly Sanctuary, nor with the Holiness which is begun under the Gospel, but with the Truth of Holiness.  
Here was the Ark of the Covenant not then opened, the Pot of Mannah, which was then hidden, and the Rod of Aaron not then budded; and therefore the Apostle saith, he could not speak those unspeakable words {αβγδ}, according to this third Part, which is the third Heaven.   

CHAP. XXIV.  
That the Holy Trinity is revealed by three Prophets.  
THE Revelation of God in Christ Jesus, is not made by one Prophet, but by three, at three several Sabbaths or appointed times in the great year of our Redemption, each of them having the word of the day in its day. So that all these three Prophets may prophesy in course, and one of them, which is 
1 Cor. 14. 27.  the last, must Interpret, and when any thing is revealed to another that sitteth by, the first must hold his peace, for he is superseded; and thus the Righteousness of God is revealed from Faith to Faith.  
The Prophets that make this Revelation 
Num. 11. 25.  are three, Moses, Eldad and Medad. Moses and his 70 prophesied the Law, while the Spirit of Moses restend upon them, and afterward they ceased. These were under the Law of Moses, the first Covenant which God made with Israel, when he brought them up out of the Land of Egypt.  
This Covenant had the Righteousness or Justification of Works, and a worldly Sanctuary, or an external Holiness, which was but a shadow of the Truth of Holiness.  
There are two others that prophesied in the Camp, the Name of the one was Eldad, and the Name of the Second Medad; these remained and prophesied in the Scriptures, that is, the Writings of Moses and the Prophets, and went not into the Tabernacle, but they prophesied in the Camp.  
Eldad is the second Prophet, whose Name signifies the Beloved of God. This is Jesus Christ after he rose up out of the Waters of John's Baptism, he sent forth his Seventy before him, two and two into every City and Place where he himself would come.  
He prophesied in the Scriptures, beginning at Moses, and he expounded to his Disciples the things concerning himself.  
All this was done under the New Covenant or Gospel, which begun at John's Baptism, and had the R●ghteousness or Justification by Faith without the Works of the Law.  
Medad is the third Prophet, his Name signifies the meafured. Our Bibles say the Name of the one was Eldad, and the Name of the other Medad, but in the Original it is thus, The Name of the one was Eldad, and the Name of the Second Medad.  
We have but One Lord Jesus, but he hath two Names, the one is Grace; the other is Truth, as it is written, The Law was given by Moses, but Grace and Truth came by Jesus Christ.  
Mercy and Truth was the Name often given to God in Christ under the Old Testament, and when God proclaimed his Name before Moses, it was, Abundant in Goodness and Truth.  
These two Names of Mercy and Truth meet in Christ, when the Holy Spirit of Truth cometh, and in, and by, and through Christ, they shall then meet together upon Men, as it is written, Mercy and Truth 
Psal. 85. 10.  are met together, Rightcousness and Peace have kissed cach other. Truth shall spring out of the Earth, and Rightcousness shall look down from Heaven, and our Earth shall then yield her Increase.  
It is a great Grace and Favour of God, to warm our Hearts with a sense of his Love in the dayes of the Gospel, which is the Day of Grace, but we have our Coolings and overcloudings. But God will speak Peace to his People, and to his Saints, so that they shall not turn again any more to Folly, when the Spirit of Truth is come.   

CHAP. XXV.  
That the Holy Trinity is revealed by three Tongues.  
THere are three Tongues, the Tongue of Men, the Tongue of Angels, and the Tongue of Interpretation, which is the Tongue of Truth, or New Tongue. Mark 16. 17.  
The Tongue of Man is the Natural Tongue of all the Earth, for they have but one Language or Speech. The Law of Moses is the first Husband. The Tongue of the Mediator is a Cloven Tongue of Fire, that is, the Fire of the Law, and the Lamp or Light of the Gospel.  
If any man speak in a Tongue, saith the Apostle, let it be by two, or at most by three, and let one interpret.  
Interpretation belongs to God, it is the Third and last Tongue, it is a Perfection of Knowledge, when we see Face to Face, and be no more Children tossed to and fro, and lead about with every wind of Doctrine, through the slight of Men, but are come to the Unity of Faith, and the supernatural Knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect Man, at the measure of the Age and fullness of Christ, this is ●he New Tongue of Truth.   

CHAP. XXVI.  
That the Holy Trinity is revealed in the Natural, in the Spiritual, and in the Universal Kingdom of Shilo.  
JAcob prophesied, that the sceptre should not depart from Judah, nor a Law-giver from between his feet, till Shilo come, and that to him the gathering of the People should be. Gen. 49 10.  
There is a threefold Kingdom, Natural, Spiritual, and Universal. The Natural Kingdom began in David, and 
2 Chron. 6. 5. Psal. 45. 6. Acts 13. 32.  ended in the Death of Christ.  
Secondly, The Spiritual Kingdom which God raised up according to his Promise in raising up Christ to sit upon Davids Throne, Acts 2. 30, 31.  
The third Kingdom is Shilo, when God shall be the God of all the Families of the Earth, then shall the gathering of the People be unto him, when the Deliverer shall come out of Sion, and turn away ungodliness from Jacob, all Israel shall be saved, and the Spirit of God, and the words which he put in the Mouth of Christ shall not depart from the Mouth of his Seed for ever.   

CHAP. XXVII.  
That two parts of three shall expire and ●● cut off, and the third part shall be left.  
IT is Written, Zachar. 13. 8. And it shall co●● to pass, that in all the Earth, saith the Lor● two parts shall be cut off and die, and the th●●● part shall be left therein. The three parts are th● Father, the Mother, and the Little Ones: Th● Father are the Jews, the Mother are the church of the Gentiles, and the Little Ones are the Bab●● and Sucklings.  
This third part are the Babes and Sucklin●● that are brought into the Fire, and refined ●● Silver is refined, and tried as Gold is trye● they shall call upon the Name of the Lord, a●● he will hear them, he shall say, It is my People, and they shall say, the Lord is my Go● Then shall the Children of Judah and the Childr●● of Israel be gathered together, and appoint themselves one Head, and they shall come up out of t●● Land, for great shall be the day of Jezreel.   

CHAP. XXVIII.  
That the Holy Trinity shall be one Lord, and his Name One.  
THe Name of the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, was not intended to be for ever, but for the World, and so the word Gnolam doth import and signify.  
When our Lord came into the World, and had all the Power in Heaven and Earth given to him, he Commanded his Disciples to Teach all Nations, Baptizing them into the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, and He  told them that He was with them to the end of this World.  
God appeared to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, as God Almighty, but by his Name Jehova he was not known, till the Redemption from Egypt: Nor will God be known to us by the Name of the God of Truth until he hath performed all his Promises in Truth: And then when the Work of our Redemption is perfected, God will be known by a New Name, and will be called the God of Truth.  
Then shall the Gates of Righteousness be opened, and the Righteous Nation that keepeth the Truth shall enter in.  
Then shall this World be at an end, for the Lord shall be King over all the Earth, and the Lord shall be one, and his Name one.  
Then shall the People of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob be one in Christ, as God the Father, Son and Spirit are one, so shall they be one in Christ, He in them and God in him, that they may be made perfect in one, that the World may know that the Father sent Christ, and loved them as he loved Christ.   

CHAP. XXIX.  
That there is a threefold Subordination of the Female to the Male.  
THere is a threefold Subordination of the Female to the Male in Christ, Personal, Conjugal and Regal.  
Personal Subjection is of the Female called Adamah to the Male called Adam, this is the subjection of the Sensual Appetite to the Law of the Mind.  
The second is Conjugal, or the Subjection of the Woman called Ishah unto her own Husband called Ish.  
The third is Regal, that is, the Subjection of the Female World called Gnolmah unto her Male which is called Gnolam.  
The Apostle Paul writing to the Corinthians to hold fast the Ordinances or Traditions which were by him delivered, reciteth these three.  
First, That God is the Head of Christ.  
Secondly, That Christ is the Head of every Man.  
Thirdly, That the Man is the Head of the Woman.  
The Woman is the weaker Vessel, therefore she is put under the Conduct of the Man and his Government.  
The Man of himself is Naked and Female, but his Femality is United and put under the Conduct and Government of the Male, which is the Prince as well Natural as Spiritual.  
The Femality of the Prince is United and put in Subjection to the Conduct and Government of God, who is the supreme Head and Lord of all, as it is written, The Lord is his Male or Remembrancer.  
Thus the Name of the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, is the Name of God for the World, and this is his Maleship or Memorial for generation and generation.   

CHAP. XXX.  
Of the three Sabbaths or Feasts in which the Holy Trinity of God doth appear.  
THere are three Sabbaths, or Feasts of Divine Institution by the Law of Moses, two of which are Sabbaths of the seventh day, the former of them being Sabbath of the seventh day from the Old Creation its beginning. The other is the Sabbath of the seventh day from the beginning of the New Creation, which was the Day of Resurrection of our Lord Jesus from the Dead.  
Both these Sabbaths are Commanded to be kept Holy by the Moral Law in these words, Remember the Sabbath-day to sanctify it, the Sabbath of two sevens is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God.  
It is also written in the Law of Moses, that three times in the Year shall all thy Males appear before the Lord; in the Feast of Unlevened Bread, in the Feast of Weeks, and in the Feast of Tabernacles.  
The Feast of unleavened Bread was the Sabbath of the seventh Day. The Feast of Weeks hath the Sabbath of the first Day; and the Feast of Tabernacles hath the Sabbath of the eighth Day, every one of these Sabbaths hath the word of the Day in its Day.  
First, The Sabbath of the seventh day hath the Word of the Law to show us our sin, and the judgement of Death due unto every Sinner, as it was Executed upon Christ, who was put to Death on the Day of the Passover, and lay in Grave on the Sabbath of the seventh day.  
Secondly, The Sabbath of the first day, this hath the Word or Promise of the Gospel, to show us our Reconciliation and Atonement by and in the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, who dyed for our Sins, and was raised up again for our Justification, according to the Promise and Oath of God.  
Thirdly, The Sabbath of the 8th. day, hath the Word or Promise of judgement, and the appointed time in which it shall be executed.  
Our English Bibles miss the meaning of the Original, for it is not a certain Rate every day, but it is the Word or Promise of the Day in its Day. First, For Sabbaths. Secondly, For Chodeshim( not New Moons, but) New Sabbaths, for that was the antecedent word. Thirdly, For Magnedol, the Appointed Time, for so is that Word well Translated in our Bibles, Habac. 2. 2. Psal 102. 14.  
Now the Sabbaths were the Sabbaths of the 7th. day, and the Renovation or Change of them was from the seventh to the first day of the Week in the Feast of Weeks. And the appointed time was the 8th. day of the Feast of Tabernacles, as the following Words will convince and confirm you herein, viz. Three times in the Year, in the Feast of Unleavened Bread, in the Feast of Weeks, and in the Feast of Tabernacles.   

CHAP. XXXI.  
That these three Sabbaths or Feasts, are Signss.  
GOD gave his Sabbath for a Sign between him and his People. The Sabbath of the seventh day was a Sign of our Uncleanness, every Leper was excluded the Camp seven days. Every Man Child is Polluted and Unclean seven days. The Altar was Unclean and Covered seven; the Priests were Unclean seven days; and our Lord Jesus lay butted under the Uncircumcision and Uncleanness of our Flesh upon the Sabbath of the seventh day.  
The Sabbath of the first day is a Sign, that God is the Lord that sanctifieth us upon this first day of the Week, which is also called the 8th. day from the beginning; upon this day the Polluted Man-Child doth receive Circumcision as the Seal of the Righteousness of Faith; upon this day every Leper is Cleansed, the Altar and the Priests are sanctified, and on this day our Lord was Circumcised by the Hands of the Circumciser, and upon this day he was Circumcised by a Circumcision made without Hands, when the Body of the Sins of our Flesh was destroyed and cut off by his being raised from the Dead, and all our Trespasses forgiven.   

CHAP. XXXII.  
The Divine Institution of these three Sabbaths or Feasts.  
THe Sabbath of the Passover was Instituted in Egypt at the time of Israel's Redemption, at that full Moon which was next after the Vernal Equinox.  
Upon the 14th. day of this Moon the Paschal Lamb was slain, and all the First-born in Egypt dyed. Upon the 15th. day of this Month Nisan was the Sabbath of the Passover, and it was also the Sabbath of the 7th. day, upon which all Israel went out from the Land of Egypt, wherefore the Lord Commanded them to keep this Sabbath.  
It is true indeed that for many Years the Sabbath of the Passover did not fall out to be the Sabbath of the 7th. day, but upon some other day of the Week, for the Feasts of the Jews were movable, and might fall out near a Month sooner or later in the Year, according to the Course of the Moon and the time of its Moon conjunction with the Sun.  
Nevertheless it pleased the Holy Spirit of prophesy to signify before hand from Egypt, that our Lord Jesus the true Paschal Lamb should be slain upon the 6th. day of the Week, and lay in Grave upon the Sabbath of the 7th. day, which was 1505 years after: And it came to pass accordingly, for the Sabbath of the Passover did fall out to be upon the Sabbath of the 7th. day, when our Lord lay in Grave; and therefore the Jews called that Sabbath a Great Day, because two Sabbaths fell in one day: Our Bibles call it an High Day.  
Upon the 14th. of this Month the Passover was slain as is aforesaid. Upon the 15th. day was the Sabbath of the Passover, and the Morrow being the first Day of the Week was the 16th. of Nisan, which was the day of first-fruits, and the Day of the Resurrection of our Lord; and this Day of First-fruits was not only the first Day of the Week, but it was the first Day of the 49 Dayes, which are called the Appointed Weeks of the Harvest; and it is also the first Day of Daniel's 49 times 35 of Christ risen from the Dead, which end in Pentecost, which is the 8th. day, the end of the Harvest of this World.   

CHAP. XXXIII.  
Of the Messiah.  
MEssiah is an Hebrew Word as Christ is a Greek, but they are both of one and the same signification, which is of a thing Covered or Anointed with oil.  
First, You have Jacob's ston Anointed with oil, when he poured oil upon its Head, and called it then Bethel, the House of God, which before was called Luz, an Apostate.  
Secondly, You have the oil of the Messiah, called the anointing oil, wherewith Moses anointed the Tabernacle and all its Vessels, to make them holy. Moses also anointed the Altar of Burnt-Offerings, and all its Vessels, whereby it became an Holy Altar. He anointed also Aaron and his Sons, to make them Holy: But all this was done for a Witness or Testimony to the things that were to be spoken after, concerning Christ, of whom Moses wrote under these Shadows.  
It may therefore plainly appear, that Messiah is some visible Person or Thing that is not holy, but must be made holy by the Anointing for the ston of Jacob was called Luz, an Apostate, before it was anointed, but when it was anointed, it was afterward called Bethel, the House of God.  
Secondly, It may appear also, that no visible thing or Portion that is to be anointed, neither doth nor can anoint itself, but must be anointed by some other that hath Power or Holiness to make Holy.  
Thirdly, Any visible thing or Person thus anointed, is called the Messiah, or the Christ, as David was called, 2 Sam. 23. 1. Thus the human Nature is anointed by the Divine, and Jacobs ston is called Bethel, and the ston of Israel.  
Fourthly, Our Lord was made Sin for us, as he was Abraham's ston; though in him there was no Sin, yet he bore our Sins, and was butted under the Uncircumcision and Uncleanness of our Flesh. And therefore he was anointed when he arose up from his Burial under the Waters of Baptism. And he was anointed again with the Spirit of Holiness and Power, when and was raised from the Dead.  
God was the Priest, human Nature was the sacrifice. God was the Prophet, human nature was taught of God: God was the King, ●nd is the King of the World, human Nature the Subject, and thus he that anointed us God.   

CHAP. XXXIV.  
Of the Hypostatical Union of God and Man in Christ.  
THE word Hypostasis is but four times used in the Holy Scripture: 2 Cor. 9. 2. Heb. 3. 19. in both which places it is translated Confidence, and in Hebr. 11. 1. it is translated Substance, but in Heb. 1. 3. it is translated Person. But the word Hypostasis doth most properly signify the Subsidence or Settlement of any liquid thing in the bottom or lowest part, such is the Subsidence of Heaven upon the Horizon of Earth in any country; for the Earth is the Hypostasis of Heaven, and the Union and Communion of Heaven and Earth is an hypostatical Union and Communion. Such is the hypostatical Union and Communion of God and Man in Christ, as it is well expressed in the Hebrew Tongue, Anoki Tirgalti to Ephraim, I went on foot for Ephraim. 
Hos. 11. 3.   
God was found in fashion as a Man, so that though his Throne be in Heaven, 
Isa. 66. 1.  yet the human Nature of Christ and his Church is Earth, for that is the place where his feet do stand. The Earth is called Gods Footstool, and the Ark also, which was a Type of the human Nature, in whom God dwells, is also called his Footstool, Psal, 99. 1.  
So that if the Translators had rendered that place, the character or expression of his subsidence or subsistence, it might probably have been as well if not better understood.  
Jesus Christ is not altogether God, nor altogether Man, but he is both God and Man, or God manifest in the Flesh, as the Heavens are made manifest over the Earth, and the Earth is comprehended of the Heaven: So is the human Nature comprehended of the Divine. And as Heaven and Earth make but one World, so God and Man make but one Christ.  
The Divine Nature is far above the human, as the Heavens are far above the Earth, and the Heavens cannot be measured or known but by the Measures we take of them upon the Earth; even so we cannot know God but by the Measures we take of him in Christ, and we can go no further than when we are come to the Measure of the Age and fullness of Christ, and to comprehend with all Saints, what is the breadth and length, the depth and height, and to know that Love of Christ which passeth Knowledge, when we are filled with all the fullness of God in him.  
The Earth cannot comprehend Heaven, no more can the human Nature comprehend the Divine, yet all the fullness that human Nature is capable of, dwells in Christ bodily.  
The human Nature is influenced and governed by the Divine, without which it could do nothing, but as the Earth at so great a distance is influenced and governed by the Light and Heat of the Sun: So is the human Nature influenced and governed by the Divine; and as the Rain comes down 
Heb. 6. 8.  and the Snow from Heaven, and returns 
Isa. 10. 17. 2 Sam. 23. 6.  not thither, but waters the Earth, and makes it bring forth Herbs meet for the use of them of whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God; but that which bringeth forth briars and thorns is nigh unto cursing, whose end is to be burned.  
From the Premises it may be observed, That all the Impotence, weakness and infirmity which Christ adscribeth to himself, was in his human Nature only, which was crucified through weakness.  
Secondly, That all the Honour, Salvation, Glory, Power and Praise is to be given to God only in Jesus Christ, as it is written: And I John saw these things, and heard them, and when I had heard and seen, I fell down at the feet of him that shewed me these things, the feet of the Angel; and he said, See thou do it not, for I am thy fellow-servant, and of thy Brethren the Prophets, and of them that keep the sayings of this Book, worship God.   

CHAP. XXXV.  
That Christ was made a Mediator by Oath.  
IT was God in Christ that Mediatored or divided himself by Oath in the Death and Resurrection of Christ, for those are the two immutable things, or Matters of Fact, as the word signifies, wherein it was impossible for God to lie; because the Death and Resurrection of Christ were Deeds already done, and could not be recalled or undone, as some men will recall their word and break their Oath.  
It is from the Impossibility of this Changing that the Heirs of Promise have strong Consolation, and do fly, as our Lord did, unto the Hope that is set before them in Christ.  
But our Translation doth not make use of the meaning and true intent 
Heb. 6. 17.  of the Greek word in that place; for they translated it, he confirmed it by an Oath, and in the Margin he interposed by an Oath; but it ought to have been translated, he mediatored or divided himself in the middle by an Oath; for God was in Christ that dyed, and therefore his Blood is called the Blood of God.  
God was also in Christ that was raised from the dead, so that the same God that was God the Father, who gave his Son to die, is now the Son of God, for he is Mediator of the Covenant.  
It was Gods work to give his Son to death, and it was Gods grace to revive his work in the midst of these 70 years, as it was in the midst of these 49 times 70, which is 3430; and so in wrath he remembered Mercy, Hab. 3. 2. The middle of these 70 years was the middle of 3430 years.   

CHAP. XXXVI.  
That Jesus Christ is Mediator of God and Man.  
OUR Bibles have not that place well translated, neither in the English, nor in the French Tongue, 1 Tim. 2. 5. for they red it, There is one God, and one Mediator between God and man, the Man Christ Jesus. But it ought to have been thus translated from the Original, There is one God and one Mediator of God and of Man; and it is another thing to be a Mediator between God and Men: For to be a Mediator of God and Man, is to be both God and Man; but to be a mediator between God and Man, doth not describe one of the same Community with God, and of the same Community with Men, as our Lord was; but doth rather suppose him to be a third Person, that interposeth himself between God and Man to make Peace. But this is a fundamental Error, that makes voided the Free Grace of God; for it separates between the Grace of God and Man, it separates between God and Christ, and between Christ and Men, as if Christ were not of the same Communion with them both. This destroyeth Faith in the Atonement, which is made and perfected by the Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ, and leaves the Soul in continual fears, doubts and bondage. But if we hold fast our Faith, by which we are united unto Christ, we can never perish; for if we believe that we are one with him in his Death, so are we in his Resurrection; and because he liveth, we shall live also, for we are of the same Body, and it was in his Resurrection, that God forgave us all our trespasses.   

CHAP. XXXVII.  
Of the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.  
GRace is a Free Acceptation of Sinners in the Righteousness or Justification of Jesus Christ, who was delivered unto Death for our Sins, and raised up again for our Justification. Our Substance is in him, as the Oak is in the Acorn. He was the Homer, that is, he was the Tenth of the First-fruits, which under Moses Law was raised up before the Lord by the Priest to be accepted for us, Lev. 23. 11. Our Bibles do translate it waved.  
If the First-Fruits be Holy, so is the Lump, and the First-Fruits or Tenths is accounted before the Lord as the sole Increase of the Threshing-floor, and as the fullness of the winepress. So that every Believer hath the Answer of a good Conscience by the Resurrection of Jesus Christ; but if he had not risen, we had been yet in our sins.   

CHAP. XXXVIII.  
Of Election and Reprobation.  
ELection is God's Choosing Men in Christ according to the New Covenant and the Election of one doth always imply the Rejection of another; for the one being taken, the other is left.  
If there had been but one Covenant, there would have been no Election, for there would have been no Choice.  
The old World is not chosen but is rejected, because it is under the old Covenant in its Blood and Wickedness, and therefore our Lord would not Pray for them. But the New Covenant makes a New World, a New Creation in the New Man Jesus Christ risen from the Dead, who calleth a Nation out of a Nation, and a New World out of the Old, to be Married and made Heirs with himself, in whom there is set before us Life and Death, and he bids us choose Life, but no Man is compelled to be Married unto Christ without his own Consent.   

CHAP. XXXIX.  
Of the Freedom of Man's Will.  
THere is a Liberty in Beasts, which choose and refuse according to the Dictates of Sense, but the Freedom and Liberty which is given to Man lies in his Understanding; for a Law is nothing else but a Restraint or Limitation of absolute Liberty. Beasts have no Law, because they have no Moral Choice; but Man hath a Law given him to Observe, and this is a good Evidence that Man hath a Liberty in his Mind to take or leave, and thence followeth his Will or Resolntion to this or that, and not to another; thus the Ordering of the Heart is Mans, Prov. 16. 1.  
The Mind of Man is compared to the Air or Aether, which is the Seat both of Light and Darkness, this is the place in which our Grandmother Eve did receive and debate the Temptations of Sense from beneath as well as the Commands of God from above. It is not a Sin to be tempted, for Christ was tempted in all Points like unto us, yet in him was no Sin, but the Sin is when we yield to the Temptations which are contrary to the Commands and Laws of God: For the Question, Who is Lord in our Soul or Mind, whether it be the Serpent that now worketh in the Children of Disobedience, or whether it be the Spirit of God that beareth Rule in our Soul? Know ye not, saith the Apostle, that to whom you yield yourselves Servants, his Servants you are whom you obey, whether it be of Sin unto Death, or of Obedience unto Righteousness? Whosoever he be that Commits sin, is the Servant of Sin. That which determines the Question is our Heart or Love, for where our Heart is there goes our Will, whether it be to things upward, or downward to things of sense; for we need not go far to know whose we are, the Answer is at hand, the Word is very near us, even the Answer or a good Conscience by the Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and of our being risen with him through Faith in his Resurrection: But if our Heart Condemn us, God is greater than our Heart and knoweth all things.   

CHAP. XL.  
Of the Number of Years that are shortened from the 70 Weeks of Daniel.  
IF there had been no time limited, there could have been no time shortened; the time limited by the Holy Angel Gabriel was 70 Weeks, which he divided in the middle by the Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ into 35 Jubilees of Death, and 35 Jubilees of Life, which made up the 70 Jubilees from the time that God went down with Jacob into Egypt.  
But the Holy Angel  told Daniel that those 70 Weeks were shortened, for the Chaldee Word Nechtac doth no where signify determined but abbreviated, and so the Septuagint and the Vulgar Latin have translated the Word: The Chaldee Paraphrast also upon Cant. 2. 11. doth say, Behold the tune of Subjection, which is like Winter, is completed, and the Years which I mentioned to Abraham between the Divisions are shortened.  
The Number of Years that are shortened are the Number of the Years of Christ after the Flesh. We have but one Lord Jesus Christ, of whom the Gentiles must be Partakers as well as the Jews, for he Unites both into one Body, therefore the Gentiles are reduced, that they might have, as hath been said, their Common Interest in the Birth, Baptism, Death and Burial of Jesus Christ with the Jews.   

CHAP. XLI.  
That the joint account of Jew and gentle shall be shortened in Righteousness.  
THe Joint shortening is not of any farther Time, but of Things, it is a shortening of the Violence, Fraud and Cruelty of the Drunkards of Ephraim, the Crown of Pride among the Gentiles against the poor oppressed People.  
The other shortening that is joint, is of the Jews rejection, whose receiving again will be as Life from the Dead.  
Now therefore saith the Prophet to these Drunkards of Ephraim, Be you not Mockers least your Bands be made strong, for I have heard from the Lord God of Hosts a Consumption is determined upon the whole Earth: And the Apostle Paul, Rom. 9. 27. from Isa. 10, 22. saith, That tho' the Children of Israel were as the Sand of the Sea, a remnant shall be saved, for he will jointly shorten the account in righteousness.  
Hence it appears that the oppressed People shall be justified against the Spoils committed by the Drunkards of Ephraim: And the Jews shall be justified and received from their rejection together before the great and terrible Day of the Lorld shall come, and then they shall cry, Hosannah, Blessed is he that cometh in the Nam of the Lord.   

CHAP. XLII.  
That the coming of Elias the Second Baptist will be in the same Order with the coming of John the Baptist.  
JOhn the Baptist is also called Elias, he baptized with Water in the 49th. Revolution of the 35 Years of Christ after the Flesh: And the Order of the coming of Elias to restore all things is in the 49 Revolution of the 35 Years after the Spirit.  
These two 35 Years make but one Generation, of which our Lord saith, This Generation shall not pass till all these things be fulfilled.  
As it is written, Behold I sand you Elias the Prophet, before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord, and he shall turn the Heart of the Fathers to the Children, and the Heart of the Children to their Fathers, least I come and smite the Earth with a Curse.   

CHAP. XXLIII.  
Some brief Observations upon the 70 Weeks of Daniel.  
THat as the Jews had a Natural Union with Christ, and were his Fathers according to the Flesh in those 1715 Years, even so the Gentiles have Spiritual Union and Communion with him by Faith, for the like space of 1715 Years, for he that is joined to the Lord is one Spirit, and the Head of every Man is Christ.  
2. That as Christ is the Head of every Man, so we grow up unto him in all things, and the whole Body being fitly joined together, maketh increase of itself in Love, according to the measure of every part from 35 to 49, till we all meet together in the Unity of Faith, as a perfect Man, at the Measure of the Age and fullness of Christ.  
3. That to every one of us is given Grace according to the measure of the Gift of Christ, and it is of his fullness that we all receive Grace for Grace.  
4. That although the Death of Christ put an end to Sacrifice, for God had no pleasure in them, but God counter-numbered a like Body of 1715 Years, which are thirty five times 49 Years, for the Perfecting of the Saints at the Measure of Christ, Psal. 40. 6. Heb. 10. 4.  
5. The 70 Weeks of Daniel divided in the middle, do not only show the Creation of the Male and Female World in Christ, but doth show also the Death of the Male, and the Resurrection of the Female World in the New Man Jesus Christ risen from the dead the beginning of the Creation of God.  
6. The Coming of the Comforter will be when Jerusalem hath received from the Lords hands in all her sins: The double which Jerusalem receiveth from the Hands of the Lord in all her sins, is in her double Warfare between the Flesh and the Spirit, and her Conformity to her Saviour, who was twice Crucified, once in the Flesh by the Jews, and again he is Crucified in spiritual Sodom and Egypt by the Gentiles.  
7. That when the Woman hath compassed the Man, that is, when the Female hath Compassed the Male, then shall the New Creation of God begin, who is the Creator of the Ends of the Earth. Our Lord lived in the Flesh but 34½ Years, so that computing 49 for every Year, there will be 49 half Years abated, which is 24½ Years taken out of 1715, and there remaineth but 1690½ in the true account; but because our common Account is mistaken two Years, as in the next Chapter, therefore the Womans Compassing the Man may not be ended until this present common Year called 1693.   

CHAP. XLIV.  
That the common account of Time from the Birth of Christ is mistaken two Years.  
THE Lord butted Moses, so that no Man knoweth of his Sepul●hre to this day; and although he brought Christ into the World at the time of his Promise, yet there hath been no Record kept thereof from his Birth.  
The Jews kept none, they rejected him, and despised his Meanness and Obscurity. The Romans kept their accounts of Time from the Building of their City, and from the R●igns of their Emperors, but not from the Birth of Christ.  
Nor was the Aera of the Birth of Christ heard of for many Ages, No not for the space of 500 Years and upwards, until Dionysius Exiguus a Scythian by Nation, but a Monk by Profession, made the Paschal cycle in the time of the Reign of Justinian the Emperor. This Dionysius was the first that brought in the Christian Era between five and six hundred Years after the Birth, which he Computed to be upon the 25th. Day of December, in the Year of the World 3947. according to the common account of the Years of the World, and from thence it began to spread itself over all Europe.  
But Calvisius, one of the best Chronologers, doth Astronomically and plainly demonstrate that our Lord was Born two Years later than the common account, and this also seems to be Confirmed by Herod the King, who inquired diligently of the Wise Men the time, which if he had fully known, it is not likely that he would have extended his But cherries of the poor Innocents unto two whole Years and under, as he did. But we have a more sure Word of prophesy that Christ should die, and did die at the End of 35 Jubilees, which is 1715 Years after Jacob went down to Egypt, this was at the end of 1935 Years after the Promise made to Abraham, and in the middle of the Year of the World 3978. as by the Solar Calendar will most plainly appear.   

CHAP. XLV.  
Of the Divine Authority of the Scriptures, and their Use.  
THat which declareth the whole flux of Time from the Beginning to the End, must be the Word of the ever-living God. human Nature is a Constitution of Heaven and Earth. The Lord that made our Outward made our Inward Man also, and hath suited the Revelation of his Will in the Holy Scriptures externally to our Ears of the Outward Man, and Internally to our Minds; for we are as a Book written on both sides, as well without as within, and therefore he hath laid the Foundation of our Faith in Sense.  
Baptism is not only of Water, but of the Spirit; not only the putting away the Filthiness of the Flesh, but of the Spirit: Nor is our Outward man commanded to be fed with Bread and Wine, which becomes one with our Body; but our Inward Man is fed by the Faith of our Union with Christ, who dwelleth in us, and we in him, by whom we shall be raised up at the latter day, and so our whole Man, Body, Soul and Spirit, the whole Inheritance of God, rejoice together.  
Such as will be lead by a Light within, without Scripture, fling away their Rule for Trial of Spirits, and forget that their Constitution is Earth as well as Heaven; they would be Angelical, but this was the Angels sin, they kept not their first estate, but left their proper Habitation.  
That which God hath joined together, let no man separate. No Scripture is of private Interpretation; there is a succession of Voices as well as a succession of Prophets, Moses, Eldad and Medad. Moses wrote in Shadows, and the seed that was sown by him in the Earth of the Text, lay hide and covered, and from thence it bringeth forth in its Time first the Blade, then the Ear, then the full Corn in the Ear for Harvest. Whatsoever was hide under the shadows of the Law of Moses, was accomplished in the Gospel, for Eldad the Beloved of God, prophesied in the Scriptures, and expounded in them the things that did concern himself, for Moses wrote of him.  
And whatsoever was spoken by our Lord under the Darkness of a Parable, or was whispered in the Ear, shall be spoken fully in the light, and preached over again upon the Housetop, when the Building comes to be finished; for then Medad the holy Spirit of Truth in Christ, will speak no more in Parables, but will show us plainly of the Father. Nor doth this Holy Spirit lay aside the Scriptures, but prophesyeth in them as Christ did: Nor will he speak any thing of himself, for a single witness is not true, but what he hears that he speaks, and will show us Things. To the Law and to the Testimony, if they speak not according to this Word, it is because there is no Light in them. Isa. 8. 20.  
This Spirit of Christ was a Preacher under Moses's Law: But he had an Over-plus of Wisdom, therefore he taught the People further Knowledge in the dayes of the New Testament: And will now balance and set in Order many Parables of Proverbs which are the Scriptures of Gasher, and they are words of Truth.   

CHAP. XLVI.  
Of the Candlestick of Gold and its Sevens.  
THE Candlestick which Zechary saw, was all of Gold, and shewed the Light and Life of Christ in his Church, which covered all their Darkness and Death; they receive this by Faith, which is more precious than Gold that perisheth.  
This Candlestick is the Candlestick of the Appointed Time of the 70 Weeks of Daniel, it hath Seven Lights, which are Seven times 490, even 3430 year.  
The 7 and 7 Pipes to the Light upon its Head, are Seven times the 35 years of Christ after the Flesh, and 7 times the 35 years of Christ after the Spirit; these being added together are 7 times 70, and complete the Number of 490 years, which is the Appointed Time, and 7 of those Appointed Times makes up the Time appointed of the Father for Christ to be under the Tutors and Governours of this World, till he be a Perfect Man, at the Measure of the Age and fullness of Christ.  
5   5   10   35   35   70   245   245   490   1715   1715   3430    
Thus are the Foundations of the World laid in Christ, since the Time that God went down with Jacob into Egypt.  
He is the Holy Seed, the Substance of the World, he is the Ten or Tenth divided after the Order of Melchizedeck, by 5 and 5, by 35 and 35, by 245 and 245, and by 1715 and 1715, as in the Margin.   

CHAP. XLVII.  
That Jesus Christ our Mediator is the Shekel of the Sanctuary.  
A Mediator is no more a Mediator of one Testament, than one Scale can be called a balance that hath but one end; for it is called a balance, or Bilanx, à duabus lancibus. So a Mediator cannot be a Mediator of one, but there must be another Testament to make the balance even.  
The Shekel of the Sanctuary is the balance of the Sanctuary; it is not, as some men think, double to the common Shekel, as Ten is double to Five, but it is equal, as 5 is equal to 5.  
If we give our Fifth to him, he makes it Ten; for as he is the Mediator of the New Testament, he doth counterbalance the Old: So that as the first Adam brought us under a Curse, Jesus Christ turns that Curse into a Blessing: As it is written, I will lay judgement, or Condemnation, to the line, and Righteousness, or Justification to the balance; but our Translators have unwarrantably translated the word Plummet, Isa. 28. 17.   

CHAP. XLVIII.  
Of the Measure of Time used in Holy Scripture.  
THE first Measure of Time used in Holy Scripture is Seven, which is the Measure of the Sabbath day, as well from the beginning of the Old, as from the beginning of the New Creation, which was the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.  
The Second Measure of Time is seven times greater than the former, for it contains seven times seven dayes, which is 49 times seven days, and then is Pentecost.  
This second Measure was used by the Jews in the Celebration of their yearly Feasts. The Romanists and Rituists, that composed our Christian almanacs, come somewhat near the Jews in their fixing of their Jewish and Roman Feasts. For they have in every year placed Easter-day for the day of the Resurrection of our Lord, which Day the Jews called the Day of First-fruits: And from Easter-day as from a Center they reckon 49 days backward, and call it Quinquagesima, or the 50th day; and they reckon 49 days forward, and call that Pentecost, or the 50th day, which they also call White-Sunday. These last seven Weeks or seven Sabbaths are called in the Original Perfect, because they are the Sabbaths of the Resurrection, or of the First Day, and the Seven Weeks are called the appointed Weeks of the Harvest; for Pentecost was always the last day of Harvest in the Land of Canaan. But the appointment and Observation of these days in the Gospel-times, is after the Commandments of Men, and not after Christ.  
The Third Measure of Time is the Sabbatical Year, which is seven year for every day, and in every Sabbatical Year you have 369 Sabbaths, and not day more or less.  
The Fourth Measure of Time is seven times the Sabbatical Year, even 49 Sabbaths of Years, which bring in the Year of Jubilee, which is the Year of Redemption.  
The Fifth Measure of Time is Ten years for one day; but this Measure is not taken from the Old, but from the New Creation of the World in Jesus Christ, beginning at the Promise, and completes the Year of Redemption for them that seek the Lord, in this Time wherein he may be found. Every day of this is Ten years long, every Week is 70 year long, and the Year is 3650 years long.  
This great almanac of the World is a Solar calendar hereunto annexed, and may be made use of as easily as a common almanac, for which end I have used the Familiar Names of the Months, that they may be better understood, until Heathenish Names shall be utterly taken away and abolished.   

CHAP. XLIX.  
The Scriptures Computation of Time by Months.  
THE Month of Israels Redemption from Egypt, is by Divine Commandment called the first Month, which before was the Seventh Month.  
Upon the 14th day of the first Month, the Paschal Lamb was slain, every year yearly, and was called the Passover. But the 14th day was neither the beginning of the Month, or of the Year; for they both had a Retrospection 14 dayes, to the day of the Conjunction of the Sun and Moon, at or about the Time of the Vernal equinox, from which the New Year as well as the New Moon took their beginning.  
But there is another Month as well as another Year, which is not natural. The mystical Year hath Ten natural Years for one Day, and for every day in the Year. But there are two great Lights, which are set for Signs of Times, as well as for Days and Nights, and no man can alter their account.  
The natural Lunar Month consists of 30 days, but the mystical Month consists of 30 times 14 Years, which is 420 Year to the Month.  
For Proof whereof take the Time of Jacob's going down to Egypt, which made Joseph to be the Shepherd of Israel under God; this is called the New Moon, or the appointed Time, and solemn Feast-day: This was the Statute or Gospel for Israel, and the judgement for the God of Jacob; this Measure he put for a Testimony in Jacob.  

Jacob went down to Egypt in the year of the World 2298  
Add to this the 14th day of the Month, 14 times 15 year 0210  
It shows the Time of Israel's Redemption was in the Year of the World, 2508    

CHAP. L.  
Of the Four Months before Harvest.  
IT is written, Joh. 4. 35. Are there not four Months, and then cometh the Harvest? It is very plain from the Context that these words are not to be understood Literally, but Mystically: For common Experience tells us, that no Fields are white four Months before Harvest; therefore the Harvest is the End of the World.  
There are two Worlds, which are so called, and have their distinct Harvests: The one is the World of the Jews; their Harvest w●s the barley Harvest; the Hebrew word signifies the Harvest of the signories. For the Jews were the Fathers, or Male World, they crucified Christ at the end of their World, Heb. 9. 26.  
The other is the Wheat Harvest, or the Harvest of Sinners, the Gentiles, that crucify Christ in the Spirit.  
The Jews had their Four Months before the Birth of Christ, four times 420, even 1680 years.  
The Gentiles have their four Months, even four times 420, which is 1680 years: These two Fulnesses of time, make up 3360 years.   

CHAP. LI.  
That the Creation of Adam Male and Female, was a Work of two Weeks or fourteen Dayes.  
ALtho' the Man be not without the Woman, nor the Woman without the Man in the Lord,( 1. Cor. 11. 11.) for every Man is Male and Female in himself, as Adam was in his first Creation, yet it may seem strange to them that have not well observed Moses's History of the Creation, to say, That that Creation was a Work of two Weeks or fourteen Dayes.  
But it is very evident that Moses, according to the Wisdom given him of the Spirit doth writ much in little, for it may appear from the Iteration of Words, and the Duality of Numbers, that he wrote of a twofold Creation in a twofold Work: The first Work was the Creation of the Male, the second of the Female.  
It is true indeed, that the first day is of the singular Number, and speaketh but of one;( Gen. 2. 4.) but there is another day of the same Number, after the Sabbath of the Seventh day is ended. And this is the first day of another week, which is the second Revolution of seven days, in which the Woman was formed, and being perfected in the second seven dayes, she is brought to the Man by God the Father upon the Eighth day, which is the fifteenth from the First day of the Old Creation;( Gen. 2. 22.) and then the Bridegroom, which is the Holy Spirit saith, The Female Adam of this Revolution is Bone of my Bone, and flesh of my flesh, for this cause she shall be called Woman, because she was taken from the Man.  
This twofold Creation of Adam, Male and Female, in a twofold Work, may farther appear from the Law of Parturition, by which it was commanded, that a Woman bringing forth a Male, shall be unclean seven dayes, but if she bring forth a Female, she shall be unclean two weeks, or 14 dayes. Lev. 12. 2. 5.  
King Solomon and all Israel with him, held a Feast to the Lord seven dayes, and seven dayes, even fourteen dayes, and upon the eighth day, which was the fifteenth from the beginning, he sent the People away to their Tents joyful and glad of heart, and they blessed the King for all the good which God had done for David his servant, and Israel his People.   

CHAP. LII.  
That the Creation of Jesus Christ Male and Female, was a work of Two Weeks in 70 Years.  
THE first Adam was created Male and Female in 14 natural dayes; but our Lord Jesus in two weeks, which had seven times five, even thirty five years for the Male; and seven times five, which is 35 years more for the Female, and so those two Weeks do contain 70 Years, in the which the Male was created in the first Week, and the Female in the second was made and perfected.  
The first Adam was, as the Apostle saith, the figure of him that was to come, which will more plainly appear, by comparing their several Creations as follows.  
1. As in the Beginning God created the Heaven and the Earth:  
So in the Beginning, that is to say in the first of these 70 years God the Father did create the Heaven and Earth of the Natural Body of our Lord Jesus in the Womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary his Mother.  
2. As Adam was created in the Image of God upon the Sixth day:  
So in the fixth day of the Creation of our Lord, which was 6 times 5 years, that is to say in the 30th year of his Age, he was butted under the Waters of Baptism, and under the Uncircumcision and uncleanness of our Flesh. But when he arose up out of those Waters, the Heavens were opened to him, and the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily Shape, and lo! a Voice from Heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.  
3. As the Lord caused a Deep sleep to fall upon Adam on the Sabbath of the 7th. day:  
So the deep Sleep of Death fell upon Christ in his Grave where he was laid to Rest, upon the Sabbath of the 7th. day, being the last day of the first 35th. of his 70th. year.  
4. As upon the first day of the second Week Jehova Elohim did Regenerate the Earth and the Heaven:  
So upon the first day of the second Week of 35, in the 70th. year of Christ, was the Earth or human Nature of our Lord Jesus begotten again from the Dead by the Second Adam who is the Lord from Heaven, and so he became the Son of God, as he was the Son of the Resurrection, for it written, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.  
5. As the Bridegroom forsakes his Father and his Mother, and cleaves to his Wife, and they twain shall become one flesh upon the 8th day:  
So will the holy Spirit of Christ forsake his Father the unbelieving Jews, and his Mother the unbelieving Gentiles, and will cleave to his Wife that believeth, and they twain shall be one flesh; for he hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them: As God did tabernacle in Christ in the days of his Flesh, so will he dwell in his People, and will be glorified in them, when he burns up the Chaff with unquenchable fire.   

CHAP. LIII.  
That the Creation of the Male and Female World in Jesus Christ, is a Work of Two Weeks, in 3430 Years.  
THE Truth of this Proposition is demonstrable, from the Conformity which the Creation of the World hath to the Creation of Jesus Christ, from the time that the Foundations of the World were laid, when God went down with Jacob into Egypt with the whole Church, which then consisted of Seventy Souls.  
1. As in the Beginning of the two Weeks, or 14 dayes, God created the Heaven and Earth of the first Adam.  
2. As in the Beginning of the two Weeks in 70 years, God created the Heaven and Earth of his only begotten Son, in the Womb of his Virgin Mother Mary:  
So in the Beginning of the two great Weeks, in 3430 year, that is to say upon the first day thereof, did God go down with Jacob and his 70 into Egypt, that so Israel his First-born might be redeemed from thence; as it is written, Out of Egypt have I called my Son. This Egypt was the Death and Grave of Christ.  
1. As upon the Seventh day of the first Creation, God restend from all his Works of the first Creation which he created, for making, that is for New making:  
2. As a deep Sleep fell upon Adam on the Sabbath of the seventh day: As the deep sleep of Death fell upon our Lord in the grave upon the last day of his first 35th year, being the Sabbath of the 7th day:  
So upon the last day of the first great Week of 49 times 35, which was the very same Sabbath, and the very last day of 1715 years after Jacob went down to Egypt, did our Lord rest in the Grave according to the Commandment, from all the Works of Righteousness which either he or we had done: As his Father restend from all his Works of the first Creation, Joh. 5. 19.  
1. As upon the first day of the Second Week of the first Creation, Jehova Elohim did Regenerate the Earth and the Heaven:  
2. And upon the first day of the Second week of 35, in the 70th. year of Christ, God the Father did Regenerate the human Nature of Jesus Christ from the Dead:  
So upon the first day of the Second great Week of 1715 years after God went down with Jacob into Egypt, did Jehova Elohim Regenerate upon this very day the Earth and Heaven o● Jesus Christ, and all their Generations, in the day that they were created, when the Lord God created the Earth and the Heaven. Gen. 2. 4. For then were we also, that were butted with him in Baptism, raised up with him, and made alive, or quickened together with him, having forgiven us all our Trespasses. Coloss. 2. 12.  
As the Gospel began at John's Baptism, who was sent to prepare the way of the Lord six Months before our Lord was baptized:  
So the coming of Elias the Second Baptist, to restore all things, will be from and after the end of 49 times 34 ½ years, which will fall out in the year of our Lord, 1691. if the Computation be made from John the Baptist. But it the Computation be made from the Birth and Baptism of our Lord, it will not be accomplished until the Year of our Lord 1692. and this falls out to be 49 times 6 Months, even 24 ½ years, before that great and terrible year of our Lord shall come, 1715 years from and after the Birth of our Lord Jesus. Mal. 4. 5.  
The Apostle Peter exhorts the Jews to Repentance, and to convert, that their sins may be blotted out, when the times of Refreshing, or Reviving, the Resurrection of the Witnesses, shall come from the presence of the Lord: And he shall sand Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto them, whom the Heavens must contain until the times of Restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the Mouth of all his Holy Prophets which have been since the World began. For Moses said truly unto the Fathers,( Deut. 18. 18.) A Prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your Brethren,( that is of the Gentiles) like unto me; him shall you hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. And it shall come to pass, that every Soul which will not hear that Prophet, shall be destroyed from among his People. Acts 3. 19, 20, 21, &c.  
It was by a Prophet that God brought Israel out of Egypt, and it will be by a Prophet that Israel shall be preserved. Hos. 12. 13.  
Then shall the Tabernacle of Witness be Opened in Heaven: And then will God speak to the Kings and Rulers of the Earth, that have taken secret Counsel against the Lord and against his Anointed: Terrifying them in his hot displeasure; saying, I have poured forth my King( that is my Spirit) upon Zion the Hill of my Holiness. I will Number at the Decree. The Lord said to me, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.   

CHAP. LIV.  
That the Male World proceeds from the First, but the Female World proceeds from the Second Adam.  
THere are two Worlds: The first is Natural, because it proceeds from the Natural Man, and may be seen. The other is Spiritual, and cannot be seen, because it is not in Possession, but in Promise.  
The Maker of these two Worlds is God, but the first and second Adam are the two beginnings of them, and therefore they are called in the Hebrew Adon, a Foundation, and in Greek {αβγδ}, which is a Prince, or a Beginning or Principality; because from these two Princes all the Persons in the two Worlds do proceed; from the first by a Natural Generation, from the second by a Spiritual Regeneration, or New Birth.  
It is a mistake in our Translation, that saith of Ishmael( who was Abraham's first-born) That he shall be a wild Man, his hand shall be against every Man, and every mans hand against him; for the Original speaketh thus, He shall be a fruitful man, and his hand shall be in every man, that is, to un●te them, and every mans in him, that is, to support and strengthen him, as he is their Prince.  
And it is from this politic or Royal Union of Head and Members, that the Hebrew word Ish, which signifies a Prince, is so often translated every man. Psal. 62. 9.  
The first Adam was made of the Earth, and every one that proceeds from him is Earth; the glory of his Kingdom is an Earthly and perishing Glory, and they themselves are called the Rulers of the Darkness of this World, which shall come to nothing. Eph. 6. 12. 1 Cor. 2. 6.  
The second Adam is spiritual, he is the Lord from Heaven, whose Tabernacle in Man makes him to be called the heavenly or spiritual Man: The Kingdom of this second Adam is a Spiritual Kingdom, for it cannot be seen, because it is not in Possession but in Promise; and therefore the Heirs of Promise wait for it; living by Faith, and rejoicing in hope of that Glory which shall be revealed at the Appearance of Jesus Christ.  
These two Princes are Coordinate, and are under the same Covenants and Promises made to Abraham in Christ, for Life and Death, for Blessing and Curse. Isa. 55. 12, 13.  
These are two Masters and Mediators of the World, but no man can serve them both, for they are contrary as Heaven and Earth, Light and Darkness, Flesh and Spirit; he that loves the one, hates the other, and he that cleaves to the one despiseth the other, for we cannot serve God and Mammon. Matth. 6. 24▪  
These are two Neighbours, that dwell together under the same Roof: The one is the Outward Man, that perisheth: The other is the Inward Man, which is renewed day by day in every one that believeth. The Outward man is of the first Adam, the Inward man is of the second Adam Jesus Christ: Our Neighbour did take part with us in Flesh and Blood, that thro' death he might destroy him that had the Power of death, which is the Devil, and deliver us. Heb. 2. 14. Is not this Neighbour to be loved by us as we love ourselves? Is not he of our Communion, one that dyed for us and rose again, and calls us to be married to himself. Matth. 22▪ 39. Eph. 5. 25.  
These two are Twins of the same Father and Mother, as those that struggled in Rebecka's Womb, until the dayes be fulfilled when she shall be delivered, and then they shall be separated one from another, and the elder or greater shall serve the younger or fewer, as was foretold in that Allegory of Jacob and Esau, the Sons of Isaac and Rebecka.  
The first Adam had the possession of his Kingdom put into his hand, but he Ruined all by his Fall, and became Tenant at will, without any Lease or Assurance of his Kingdom, for the space of 2078. years, until the Royal and Grand Charter was confirmed unto Abraham in Jesus Christ, who is the Head of all Principality and Power, and every Name that is name, not only in this World, but also in that which is to come. And it was in him that the Covenant was confirmed for Ishmael, as well as for Isaac: And it was sworn to Isaac for Esau as well as for Jacob, for the whole time appointed by the Father, until the Measure of the Age and Fullness of Christ were made perfect, and not exceeding 3650 years from the Promise, and with defeasance nevertheless of being shortened upon their War or Rebellion against the Lord.   

CHAP. LV.  
Of the Fifth which every Man must give to the Lord for the Ransom of his Soul, Exod. 30. 12.  
THe ten Years next after the Promise are the Order of Melchizedeck, whereof five are the Natural Man, and five Years the Spiritual Man, half Death and half Life, the one half Earth, the other half Heaven, as our Lord Jesus was the Mediator of God and of Man. He took part with us in Flesh and Blood that our Earth might be made Holy by him who is the Tenth, the Lord of the Earth, in which lies all our Harvest and Increase. This Lord is called the Holy Lord, and is the Substance of it, as the Substance of the Oak lies in the Acorn: So all things in Heaven and in Earth, in Life and in Death, are contained in Christ, who is the Book of God, in which all his Members were written either in Heaven or in the Dust of the Earth, and they are Numbered in him who is their Overseer, the great Shepherd of their Souls: But every man must give a Ransom for their Soul to the Lord, and then there shall be no Plague in them when they are Numbered.  
The Offering which they must give the Lord is themselves, or their Natural Man and all his Righteousness, which is the Bekah, or half the Shell in the Shekel of the Sanctuary: And this Offering of a Man's self to the Lord is the Desire of atonement: Our Bibles call it atonement Money, and the Original Word which they do translate Money, doth signify Desire as well as it signifies Silver, for that was but a shadow. We are not Redeemed with corruptible things as Silver and Gold, but with the precious Blood of Christ. The Rich give no more but themselves, and the Poor give no less than themselves to be Redeemed, and so they are Saved by Faith, Desire and Hope.  
If any Man will Redeem a Redemption from his Tenth, that is, if any Man desire to be saved by Christ, he shall add his Fifth, Levit. 27. 31. which is, he must part with all that he hath or is his, he must sell all his own Righteousness, and then he shall have Treasure in Heaven, which is the Righteousness of God by Faith in Jesus Christ.  
This is to follow Christ, who partend with his own Righteousness that we might be made the Righteousness of God in him.  
This is the traffic we are Exhorted unto, or the Conversation in Heaven for to make our Five Talents become Ten, Matth. 25. 10.  
This Tenth is the Homer of First-fruits which the Priest under the Law raised or lifted up before the Lord for our Acceptation on the Day of First-fruits, which was the Day of the Resurrection of Christ from the Dead: He is accounted for all them that believe as the Increase of the Threshing-floor, and as the Increase of the winepress, for God hath put all things under his Feet, and given him to be Head over all to his Church, which is his Body, the fullness of him that filleth all in all; so that in the Lord we have Righteousness and Strength, Isa. 45. 24. and in Him all the Seed of Israel are Justified and shall Glory.   

CHAP. LVI.  
Some brief Observations concerning Justifying Faith.  
TRue and Saving Faith is a Believing that God so loved the World that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life.  
2. That Christ is the Head of every Man by Grace of God, as Adam is the Head of every Man by Natural Generation.  
3. That we are Justified by Faith when we believe our Union and Communion with Christ in his Death and Resurrection, as he is our Mediator that dyed for our Sins, and was raised up again for our Justification; as it is written, they twain shall be one Flesh, and he that is joined to the Lord is one Spirit.  
4. We are Justified by Faith when we believe our Union with Christ is as the Union of Branches to the Vine, so that He is One with Us, and We with him, for He dwelleth in Us and We in him, that We can never perish but be raised at the last Day.  
5. It is by Virtue of this Union and Communion with Christ in his Death that we are set free from sin, because he dyed for our sins in our stead, and so he satisfied the Law for us. And by Virtue of our Union and Communion with him in his Resurrection we are made Partakers of the Free Grace of God in forgiving us all our Trespasses, and giving us the Inheritance of Eternal Life with himself, not of Merit by Works, but of his Free and undeserved Grace.  
6. We are by Virtue of this Union and Communion with Christ called Saints, but our Holiness doth not lie in ourselves but in him who is our Head.  
7. The Exercise of our Faith is a continual Warfare between the Flesh and the Spirit, between Faith and Unbelief, because of our sins; so that under Hope we are carried to believe above Hope, as Abraham did in the Uncircumcision and Uncleanness of his Flesh.  
As to the Second Coming of Christ to Restore all things, it will be by his Spirit in his People in the Power of Elias, for he will be glorified in his Saints, and admired in all them that believe.  
FINIS.   

THE Solar Calendar, WITH All the DAYES, WEEKS, and SABBATHS, contained in the great Year of our Redemption by Iesus Christ, consisting of 3650 Years.  
Made plain upon Twelve Tables, which are Twelve Months in the common Yearly almanac, with which every Day, Week and Sabbath is compared, as well as with every Year of the Promise, and every Year of the World.  
Whereunto is added, Two Tables of the Seventy Weeks of Daniel: The one containing 1715 Years, from the Time that God went down with Jacob into Egypt, to the Death and Grave of Christ.  
The other Table containing 1715 Years, from the Resurrection to the end of this World.  
Written as an Appendix to the Year of our Redemption.  Psal. 39. 4. Lord make me to know my end, and the measure of my dayes what it is, and I shall know how frail I am. Psal. 90. 12. So teach us to number our dayes, that we m●● apply ou● Heart to Wisdom. 
London, Printed for John Harris, 1693.   

OF THE SOLAR CALENDAR.  
A Calendar is a borrowed word, properly belonging to the Moon, for the Calends of e●ery Month, are the first day of the Month, according to the Julian Year. But the Sun hath neither Months nor Calends, nor can the Motion of the Moon answer the Motion of the Sun by 11 dayes, which they call the Epacts in ev●ry year.  
So that the Monthly Calendar of the Moon; tho it have its Column in th●se Tables, yet they can be of no Use in the Measure of Time, because it holds no proportion with the Sun, which is the universal Standard for the Measure of the Time in the Scripture for the Year of our Redemption. Nevertheless, I thought fit to give it a place in this great Year; because there is scarce a man of any small business in Europe, but makes use of the common yearly almanac, or Calendar, and is well acquainted with the Names of the Twelve Months, and with the Number of dayes in every Month, and that there are 52 Weeks or Sabbaths in every year, and one day overplus, which makes 365 dayes in the year.  
So that this Solar Calendar is nothing else but a familiar comparing of the Dayes, Weeks and Sabbaths in the Yearly almanac, which every Man knows, with the Dayes, monarchs and Sabbaths in the great Year of our Redemption, which hath been kept secret since the World began, but is now revealed by the Holy Spirit to be as aforesaid Ten Years for every Natural Day, Seventy Years for every Natural walk, and 3650 Years for the great Year of our Redemption, as by this SOLAR CALENDAR will most plainly appear.   

OF THE Construction and Use OF THE SOLAR CALENDAR.  
THE Solar Calendar, or the Worlds almanac, doth begin at the time of the Promise made to Abraham, in the 2078. year of the World, and in order 3650. years after, in the Year of the World 5728. It hath Twelve Months, and every Month hath Four Columns.  
The First Column containeth the Number of Dayes in each Month, beginning at the equinoctial, which is the Tenth day of March, having 365 dayes in the Year of XII. Months.  
The Second Column contains the Years of the World since the Creation, and therein you may see, what year of the World answereth to the Year of Promise.  
The Third Column containeth the Years since the Promise was made, until the Year of our Redemption.  
The Fourth Column is the broad Space, which contains some Divine Record of Time, and of things performed in that Time, as well in what Year of Promise, as in what Year of the World.  
This Fourth Column contains also the Beginning and Ending of the 49 Weeks of Daniel, which are also called The 70 Weeks, they begin at the Time when God went down with Jacob into Egypt, and end with the last day of the Promise, and of the great Year of our Redemption, and of the present World, for there is no day more or less in the account.
