plisher; fo doth this our C^ rono ^°V e -> which be-

To him we defire to conduct the Reader , and
there to leave him, even with Chrift ; who is the
only aim, hope, and reft of all true Believers.
The defigne of the Authour was as much as may be, to find out
Truth,for his own fatisfa&ion, and to clear up truth unto the mean-
eft capacities, who by the help of this poor little peece, may in the
Call; of an eye finde out almoft infinite Truths, which without the
helpe of thefe parallel Tables will haply puzzle the beft Chronolo-
gers, and be almoft impoffible for meaner capacities to collect by
their own induftry.
By this it will appear, that innumerable (and that moft folid)
confequences may be enforced from Scripture grounds, which yet
appear not in the furface of the Text,but may be digged out of the
Mine of the Scriptures by pious ftudy and induftry. And in a
word, By vertue of this helpe, thou maieft read the whole Scri-
pture with abundance of delight and profit, as being able to referre
every remarkable paffage to its proper time and Date. Who
knows not how neceftary Chorografhj and Cbronologie are to ///-

nineteen yeers currant of thofefeventy yeersrun parallel with the
nineteen laft of E^kkls three hundred ninety yeers, containing
the fpace from the divificn, to the Captivitie otZedekiah, and the
burning of Solomons Temple. See M 4- 5- Subftra^ nine-
teen out of feventy yeers, there refts fifty one yeers, the juft fpace

THE PREFACE.
Holy Ghoft is filent, we muft not be curious. Its enough for us to
be as wife as God would have us; Nay, I am confident, not all the
skill of all the men in the world, from the beginning to the end of
the world, will be able to find out all Truths contained in Scrip-
ture, either directly, or by confequence: but the full opening of
the Book of Scripture, and the Book of Providence,will be a great
part of the Saints work and happinefs in Heaven. So that we may
well conclude with Hb avid fPf aim. 119.96. That gods command-
ment is exceeding broad. If the Chronologic of Scripture, (one of
itsmeaneft parts) contain almoft infinite confequences j what
shall we think of the whole Scripture? which though never fb often
read, yet ftill (like God the Author) affords us new varieties, fo
as at every reading you shall obferve fome thing which you knew
not before. Exprefs places are like ripe fiuit that may be eaten pre-
fently, but confequences are like the fruit in the feed, orlikefirein
the flint virtually, not formally in the Text: yet as fure as that which
is in exprefs terms,fo the dedu&ion be right.For inftance,Gtor 5.3.
the Scripture faith exprefly, Adam wot an hundred and thirty years
old) and begat Seth:from whence I infer that \tAdam were an hun-
dred and thirty y eers old at Seths birth,then he was an hundred thir-
ty and five yeers old, when Seth was five yeers old j and a hundred
fourty and five yeer old, when Seth was fifteen yeers o\d,&c. be-
caufe five yeers being added to an hundred and thirty makejuft a
hundred and thirty five yeers,and fifteen yeers being added to 1 30
make an hundred and fourty five yeers. Yet its no where faidih
Scripture. that Adam was an hundred and five yeers old, when Seth
was five yeers old,^. onely its proved by confequence, byway
offyllogifm, whereof one Propofition is grounded upon exprefs
Scripture,the other upon fence and experience \ from both which
infallible premifes the conclufion muft flow of necetfity, and can-
not be denied. I clear it thus by an h> potheticall fyllogifm .If Adam
were an hundred and thirty yeers old when Seth was born, then he
was an hundred and thirty five yeers old when ^was five yeers
old. Adam was an hundred and thirty yeers old when Seth was
born, Ergo, he was an hundred thirty and five years old when Seth
was five yeers old. The minor or antecedent is exprefs in Scrip -
* ture,

ture, onely its noted under the phrafe of begetting; whence we
may probably gueiTe, that -^4 dam begat at the beginning of
his hundred and thirtieth year, and Seth was born about the end of
the fame year,- and fo for the reft of the Patriarchs. Now to prove
that all the perallel lives of the Patriarchs arefet right,fubftracl the
yeers of the Son out of the Fathers age in the fame line, and the
remainder will be the juft age of the Father, when he begat that
Sonne. To take the former inftance of Lamechs birth, the entrance of (^anaan, the Foundation
of SolomonsTempkj and the divifton or rending ofthetenTrihes
from Rehoboam. For by virtue of thefe Tables you may in the caft
of an eye know in what yeer of any of thefe periods,any memora-
ble accident fell out; If you can but tell in what yeer of a Patri-
arch, King, Pricft or Prophet it hapned. To inftance in lofiahs,

which time alio Ezekiehioxxxvy yeers begin,mentioned E^ekiei/\,6..

PuTeover- eight huudred thirty and one yeers after the entrance
into Canaan; three hundred ninety and one yeer after the founda-
tion of the Temple; and three hundred fifty and five yeers after
thedivifion. Mow to prove that lofiabs PalTeover hapned in thole
very yeers of the fore-named periods,fubftraft the latter and letter
number from the greater number immediately foregoing, and you
have thejuft fpace of time between it and the Mrd immediately
preceding, which mayafiure you they ftand right. To clear this
by the former inftance, lofiahs PalTeover hapned three hundred fit-
tie and five yeers after the divifion : this may be proved by ocular
demonftrationfrom the feveral weeks of yeers, or ten yeers f pa-
ces of each period reaching unto that date rightly obfervedand
reckoned, and fo may all the reft: In which you may be further
confirmed by fubftrafting the lelTer period out of the greater im-
mediately fore-going, which leaves the juft diftance between thofe
two periods: Subftraftthen three hundred fiftie and five out of
three hundred ninetic and one, there reft thirtie fix yeers between
the Temple and divifion. Again, fubftraft three hundred mnetie

great uncertainties, fince there is no Scripture-evidence at all when

that fpeech of the Jew s. lofin 2.20. but by flying to feveral intervals
wherein the building of the Temple laid dead, and fo would make
us believe that fourty fix yeers were fpent in actual building of the
Temple, which to me is improbable. For as they were laying the
foundation, Eqra 3.8.10. and 4. 1 . The adverfaries, whole malice

4. From the anfwerofthe Angel qabriel to Daniel, Dan.g.i^.
Forfirft, the Angel coming to inftrud Daniel, certainly would
fpeakto Daniels apprehenfion : But Daniel could underftand this
command to build Jerufalem to proceed from no other King but
Cyrus, being well acquainted with the Prophefie of Efaj about
him /and had not Daniel undoubtedly underftood it thus 5 he might
well have objected to qahriel. I underftand thus much indeed,
that feventy weeks after the going forth of the commandment,
cMeffias shall accomplish our redemption: but unielTc you fur-
ther iatisfie me at what time precifely and from what King this De-
cree shall be ifliied forth,I am little or nothing the wifer. To clear it
by another fu ppofed inftaace 5 shouid theSpirit of God reveal to any
that precifely 4 oyeers after the mine of Antichnft theTurk shall be
deftroyecf.-unlcfs he be pleafed withal to reveal in what yeer Anti-
chrift shall b&defti oyed ; I could neither inform my felf nor others
direflly when the Turk shall he mind. So it was in this cafe. The
An°el came not to deceive Daniel, but to inform him. Secondly,
to move from the Text that this muft needs be the command of t>
rul The words in the original run thus. Underftand that f torn the
goino forth of the word to caufe to return and to build Jcruialem,
Iv.fhfe woid, a* in Eipbil fignifies properly to caufe to re-
turn. From hence thfnlaiguc; That Decree which at once com-
manded the captivity to return and to build leru/alem, that and that
controverted by the Learned*
bhelybe^m Daniels feventy weeks. But there was ho Decree of
any Kin", but onelyofO^ that at once commanded both thefe.
£^,norindeed could £U»//undcrftandit of any other ; that no
other King commanded both thefe is evident. Darius command-
ed to build the Temple, but neither to return the captivitie, nor to
build the Citie. ^Artaxenes gave Nebemiah a Commiflion to re-
pair the Citie, but not to return the captivity : The fame Artax-
erxes °ave Ezra CommiiTion to return fome Captives, but
neithe & r to repair the City, nor to build the Temple. For proof
of thefe three, kcEqrah6. 6, 7. Nebemiah 2. 3. 8. E%a 7. 13.
Of all the Perftan Kings ( onely Qra ) except t^trtaxerxes

Firft for returning the captivity : Secondly, for building the Tem-
ple, And thirdly, for building of the Citie alfo. Espa 1 . 2, 3 . Efay
44.28.and45- 13. And though no Decree of Cjrm be extant for
building of lerufalem, yet it is evident by the Prophet in the fore-
mentioned places, that he did make a Decree for the building of
the Citie, as well as of the Temple: otherwife how could it be faid,
Be shall build my Citie : And that he should fay of Ierufalem,
thou shah be built. No man isfomad to think Cyrus built ithim-
felf, butit was built byhisorderanddiredion, as the Temple was
built by Solomon. By ail which I think it may appear, that D aniels
weeks began at the end of the feventie yeers, and with the firft of
Cyrus. . i«j i-r
I might add how improbable it is, that the Scripture should dis-
cover every thing about Chrift, fave only the time when he should
come into the worid.dW. (which yet is (o material a circumftancej
but we muft be beholding to profane Chronology for which as I
shewed before is doubtful, and might have been loft. Had a lew,
or any other come to Daniel &qi his conference with qabriel'Dan.

beenready out of Tto*f#/p. if- 27.111 the midft of the feventieth
orlaftweek. But had the jew further reply ed, in whatyeerofthe
world? (Let us onely fuppofe now that the firft yeeroiQr«»j ran
parallel with Anno zMmdi, 3466.) The fourth yeer being the
midft of the laft or feventieth week, that the four hundred eigbtie
•- D 2, (even--
1) faculties in f acred Chronologie,
feventh yeer currant; I should conceive that dMeJJlas wastofuf-
fcr Anno zSMnndi, 3952. Might not Daniel well have anfweied, I
pray pardon me there, for to tell you the Truth I know not
whether the feventy weeks begin the firftyeerofQTWj, or in the
raign of fome other King; and amftill tofeek inwhatyeerofthe
world Chrift shall furfer. By all which its apparent, That either
the feventie weeks began with the firft of Cyrm, and the laft of
the Babilonish Captivitie; orelfeforall gabriels vifion, he was
dill ignorant when Chrift should fuffer, as knowing not when the
feventie weeks were to begin.
The next or fifth difficulty is about the Jubilees • which fbme
make to contain fourtie and nine, others fiftie folid yeers. To me
it feems probable they contain but fourtie and nine folid yeers a
peece, fo that the fiftieth (or jubilee) yeer is the laft of the prece-
ding jubilee, and the firft of the following jubilee, and that upon
this ground, becaufe otherwife the courfe of the Sabbatical yeers
muft needs be broken once every fiftie yeers, by a yeer added to
every feven weeks of yeers(which make juft fourty and nine yeers )
fo that the feventh week of the jubilee muft contain eight yeers,
which is as abfurd as to fay, a week contains eight dayes. Now
whereas there are two forts of jubilees, namely the jubilees of the
World, and the jubilees of Canaan : the queftion is, when the
jubilees of Canaan begin. Ordinarily they are reckoned from the
Conqueftof the Land by J^tf^, that is about feven yeers after
they entred C ana£ m. Tome it feems far more probable, they ra-
ther began the Septembertftez Canaan wasentred,£i?i;/'f ,2 5.2.The
Scripture fayes not when you have Conquered, but when you
come into the Land which I shall give you, then shall the Land
keep a Sabbath unto the Lord. The firft Sabbath of yeers, then be-
gan the Autumne after their entrance into Canaan (which they en-
tred in the Spring,) in the tenth day of the feventh moneth. Seven
ot which Sabbaths made fourtie and nine yeers, and fo the fiftieth
yeer, (or the yeer of jubilee) began on the tenth day of the feventh
Moneth, and was proclaimed by found of Trumpet throughout all
the Land in the very day of Atonement,- Levit. 2 5 .9, 10. 1 conclude
then that the fiftieth yeer after they entred Canaan, was the yeer
of
controverted by the Learned,
of Jubilee^ and not the fiftie fevemh yeer (as fome would have it)
And after this rate fas appears in my Cbronologie) the Jubtleesoi
Canaan run parallel with the Jubilees of the World, and are noted
in the top of the Columne that contains the Sabbatical yeers. Yet
togivefatisfaclion, I have noted in the Columne containing the
yeers of the World, the jubilees that contain fifty {olid yeers ; and
in the Columne of the Sabbatical yeers, I have noted both the }«-
klees that began at their entrance, and alfo feven yeer after they en-
tredG*tfa^/*.Thusp. 53. in the top of the Columne for the Sabba-
tical yeer, the fiftie ninth jubilee of the World, and the feventh
jubilee of Canaan concur with the eight, and twentieth yeer of E-
lies government after my account : but after the ordinary account
the feventh jubilee concurs with the thirty fifth yeer of Ely. If we
reckon fifty yeers to a jubilee, the feventh Jubilee concurs with the
firftyeerofiW, as is noted in the fame Column; the reafon is
clears becaufe every Jubilee gains a yeer ; and therefore the feventh
Jubilee muR needs fall feven yeers later. In the fame page my fifty
and ninth lubilee concurs with the twenty eighth of Sly : but if we
reckon fiftie yeers to a Jubilee, then the fifty eighth jubilee of the
world concurs with the thirty fixth of Sly, 9. yeer later then the
f'oi mer : the reafon is becaufe a yeer is gained in tvay Jubilee : and
fo the fifty eighth Jubilee containing fifty yeers, falls later than the
fifty ninth Jubilee containing but fourty nine yeers.
The fixth Difficulty, is about the Expiration or end of 'Daniels
feventy weeks, which fome terminate with the death of Chiift;
others with the deftrudion ofjeru/alem : Daniel feems cleerly to
terminate them with the death of Chrift, ^Daniel 9. 24. by which
he made reconciliation for finne, brought in everlafting Right eouf-
nefs,&c Of which their return from Captivity was but a type and
shadow. Nor doth it follow that the feventy weeks reach to the
definition o£jerufalem y becaufe mention thereof is made in this
Prophefie. For befides that the twenty fourth veife determines,^
the feventy weeks, in the Death, Refutredion, and Afcenfion, of
Chrift : Its further evident by the feveral parcels of the feventie
weeks, verfi 25, 26. feven weeks and fixty two weeks, after which
Me/fiat was to be cut off: feven and fixty two make fixty nine af-

And though the Tranflatours divide the feven weeks , (Da-
niel 9iii.) by a Colon from the 61* weeks in the fame verfe frol-
lowino therein the cuftome of the Hebrews, who ufually make the
Accent Athnac to ferve for a C olon ) as lftne feven wecks had P ro "
per reference to Mejfias, and the fixty two weeks to the building
of the ftreet and wall. Yet befides that this fence cannot agree
with the Hiftory^ its evident that in divers places of Scripture, the
Accent Athnac cannot exprefs a Colon, nay fcarce fo much as a Com-
ma : for proof whereof I offer thefe places to the judgement of the
Learned. Pfalmeyo.3,4, 5 . If you count the Title of the Pfalme
for the firft verfe as the Hebrews do.^i-i^and 79.6^84. 4.
and 86,2. and 7 2. laft. and iKings%. 17. And why then should
wein this place ( namely Dan.9. 25.) take Athnac from a Colon,
when as the fence can as ill bear it here, as in any of the fore-men-
tioned places i and without a Colon, the fence is clear anddircff,
that from that Decree fas before) to tMefftas should be feven
weeks, and fixty two weeks, that is juft fixty nine weeks, namely
to that time in which he should beginne his Minifterial Office, m
which he continued the firft half of the laft or feventieth week ; that
is, three yeers and an half, and then by his death took away the dai-
ly Sacrifice in its fignificancy and vir rue : confirming the Cove-
nant the laft half of that week by his Apoftles, and after that rcjeft-
in°thej«w for contempt thereof, as learned dMedeobfervcs.
let us thenfuppofe (which to me feems to come neereft the
Truth) that ^Daniels weeks begin where the feventy yeers of Cap-
tivity ended. That is (according to my Chronohgie) ^nno^Mun-
rf/,2466. Add to this four hundred and ninety yeers contained in
Daniels feventy weeks ofyeers : The fumme is three thoufand
nine hundred fiftieand five. Out of which fubftrafl three yeers
and an half, there refts juft three thoufand nine hundred fiftieand
two airranun which yeer of the world (according to us) our Savior
fuffercd, ^ ow
controverted by the Learned*
Now becaufe Cbronologers place the death of Chrift in the yeer
of the world 3982. and the 202. Olympiad, or the 808. Olympic k
yeer, juft thirty yeer later then our date: the great difficulty will
be how to reconcile this difference. For falving whereof we muft
defire the Reader to take efpecial notice of that grand en our com-
mitted by many in facred Chronohgie, who make the birth of Abra-
ham to fall out fixty yeers fooner than indeed it did : As fuppo-
fin°himto be born in the fevcntkth yeer of his Father Terah;
whereas indeed he was not born till Terab was an hundred and thir-
ty yeer old, as I have evidenced in the fecond difficulty. Second-
ly, note that of this fixty yeers theyloofe five yeer in the date of
the Promife, which was made whfcn Oibraham wasfeventy, and
not feventy five yeer old (as I have cleared in the fame Paragraph,)
and fo with them it falls five yeer later then with us. Thirdly, note
further, that out of this fixtie they loofe eight yeers more in the
date of the Babylonish Captivity, which with them falls out in the
raign of lechoniar, but with us in the third yeer ending, and the
fourth yeer beginning ollehoiakim^ namely eight yeer fooner with
us then with them : to which add two yeers more, wherein >we
differ from them occafionally in the raigns of the Kings,who fome-
timesraigna few yeers with their Fathers, fometimes begin not
their raign till after their Fathers deceafe fas in the ChronoUgie it
felf, we shall make plainly appear, and defire no further to be credi-
ted,then we bring Scripture grounds for every branch of our Chro-
nology) I fay, thefe five eight and two yeers being added together,
make fifteen yeers, which being fubftracled from fixtie, there reft
fourtie and five yeers, the juft difference between their and our date
of the Babylonish Captivitie: The Captivitie falling with us,
five andfourty yeers later then with them, and their date of our
Saviours death falling thirty yeers later then with us, Both which

that is the twentieth yeere of his raignc with his father, Uit the
tenth yeer of his foleraigae. '.But how improbable this opinion is
lettheimpartiall Reader judge, and that becaufe Artax. Longim,
was an enemy to the lews and hindrcd the building of the Temple
£^44.7.23. which to make good I argue thus. There were but
three Kings of Perfia who had the name Q^^Artaxerxes. Firfl o/-
hafieras the Husband of Queen Befler^ mentioned Ezra 4.. 6. and
in the book of Hefler: he was the fame with Xerxes: with this mans
raigne the date ofDattiels weeks cannot agree. Secondly In
the twelfth yeeer of his raigne he plotted with Hamatt the mine
of the ]ews, He/ier^.S. Thirdly, heraigned not full twenty one
veers j whereas its apparent that he who gave Nebemiab commif-
iionraigned at lead thirty two yeers, Neb. 13.6. Thefecondwas
^Artaxerxes Loagi matins fonne to Xerxes mentioned as before, £*.
4. 7-bywhofe means the building of the Temple was hundred till
the raignc of Darius Notbm,Ezra 4. 23 . 24. But before his dayes(I
mean before his twentieth yeer) who gave Nebemiab commifsion
the Temple was builded,as is evident, Ak£. <5. 10, 1 1. and 13 .4.9.
where exprelte mention is made both of the Temple, and the
chambers of Gods houfe. And therefore Nehemiabs commifsion
muft needs be given by Artaxerxes Mnemon who was the third of
that name, and together with Darius Netbxsfiis father was pioufly
affected towards the lews and furthered the building of theTemple,
Ezra 6, 14. and after the Temple was built, hegavecommfflion to
Ezra in the feventh yeare of his raigne, E%ra 7. 1. and laftlyto
Nebemiab in the twentieth yeer of his raigne. Its remarkable of this
man as well as ofQrus that he gave, Firft com million to build the
Temple, Ezra 6. 14. Secondly to return part of the captivity Ezra

controverted by the Learned*
Daniels feventy weeks [490] [Totall 4066] out of which Tub-
ftract for three yeeers and a half of Daniels laft week ,• and thirty fix
yeers from the death of Chrift to the deftru&ion oijerufaiemfm all
39. and a half] There refts juft [4027Jcurrant,theyeere in which
according to their fupputation our Saviour] Chrift should fuffer ,
which yet they affirm to be Anno Mundi 3982. The main ground
of which errourarifeth from the miftaking of the true date of A-
brahamsb'uth, as I have formerly shewed.
Another errour arifing from the miftake of Abrahams birth,
&c.is the mifdating of the three famous JfLraes or Periids of time,
narnely, *ra olj/mpica, Vrhis condita^ and
ftcps of their beginning out of the Old Teftament. Firft therefore, 1
we muft take for granted that thofe three great *raes or periods fall
together within the fpacc of thirty ycers. Secondly, that they fall
within fuch a precife diftance the one from the other, that he who
kiiuwsoneofthem, may infallibly find out the other two. Thefe
x wo poftuUt* being granted (which I think both fides cannot but
aflent unto ) I shall pitch upon *ra NabunaJ/aris the lajft period of
the three ; of which there is very probable evidence in the Old Te-
ftamentby comparing profane hiftory with facred : and if profane
hiftorians reckon the raignes of their Kings right.the evidence is ir-
vefragable.Note then that Berodach^atitt Merodacb BaUdan^mcn*
tioncd 2 Kings 20.1 2: and !?/*>' 39. 1. in the feventhyeer of bis rule
over Babylon* fent Letters and a prefent unto He^ekiab. The occa-
lion whereof was the wonder of the Sunnes going ten degrees
backwards for the confirmation of Heqekiahs faith about his
recovery. Now the Babylonians being great Aftronomers could
not but take efpeciall notice of the Sunnes retrograde motion : and
withallhearingthatit was upon occafion of He^ekiabs ficknelle,
as may appear by comparing 2 Kings 20 1 2. with 2 C^ r01tt 3 2 «3 l •
he could not but fend Letters to Hezekiah to enquire about the
ground thereof. Thefe Letters were fent in the feventh yeere of
Merodacb Baladansmgno. which ran parallel with the fifteenth of
Hezekiah^ as is evident by the promife of adding fifteen yeers to He*
hiahs life, 2 Kings 20.6. which fifteen yeers being fabftra<5ted from
twenty nine yeers., the fpace of Be^ekiahs raigne, 2 Kin* 18.2.
leave juft fourteen yeers, in which fourteenth yeer therefore both
Hezekiabs recovery ,and the ruine of Sennacherib fell out •, Cod de-
livering both the King, Church and State in the fame yeer, 2 Kin.
18. i3.accoidingtohispromife2 KJn.io.6* Let it be granted then
that the fifteenth of Hezekiah and the feventh of ^Herodach Ba-
Udun ran parallel. The great queftion now is how long before
this time«tfr<* Nabonafaris began.Before this Baladax>therc raigned
over Babylon, 1)M*hs , altas Dilulorus five yeers ; before him
Chin^rus and "Toms, five yeers ; before them Najfius twoyeers;

Suppofe then it were but eight at night when Chrift
appeared, its apparent that it was two houres after Sun-
let ( though others thinke it was farre later J and fo
could be no part of the firft day of the week, if the
firft day of the weeke end at Sun-fet. But lohn {ayes
expreflely that the Evening of the fi>ft day of the weeke
Chrift appeared^ lohn 20. 19. whereas the firft'dayof
the weeke was paft two houres before, with them who
begin the firft day at Sun-fet. Nor can this argument
be .folidly evaded by thofe who fay 3 that here John
reckoned the day after the Roman account from mid-night
to mid-night.
For firft , ( granting the Romanes reckoned fb )
it will be a very hard taske for them to prove
that John intended here to follow their accunt , and
F we
difficulties in /acred Bhronologk^
we an as cafily deny [it as they affirm it.
Secondly, as feare fcattcred the Apoftles at our
Saviours death , fo probably confcience of the Lords
Day made them keepe Co late together , ( otherwife
they had been fafer from the Jewes danger , being a-
fundcr than together, which was the ground they now
shut the doores upon themfelves y John 20. 19.) This
is further confirmed by their meeting again the Lords
Day following, ver/e 26. as alfo by -Pauls preaching
on the firft day of the weeke till midnight , Afts 20.
7. And though his Sermon might be longer then or-
dinary , becaufe he was to leave the Difciples of T r o-
a s yet the ground of his preaching that evening
was the confcience of the Lords Day, nor did hee
probably begin his Sermon till after the celebration of the
Lords Supper, ? which in thofe times was at night, 1 Cor. 1 u
2o y 2i .and after Supper fin imitation of our Saviour) though
this cuftome hath ceafed with us, for the moft part
(as vrell as dipping in Baptijme ) becaufe of the in-
conveniency of meeting fo late, efpecially in many pla-
ces where the people live further off from the place
of AlTembly. And I think either place or time doth
binde, unlefse there be an exprefsc command for it*
Otherwife we should be bound to receive the Lords
Supper in an upper roome, as well as after Sup-
per.
By all hath beene (aid appears very probably, that
the latter as well as the former Evening is part of the
Chriftian Sabbath. Let who will interpret John to
fpeak after the Roman account, I muft crave liberty to
adhere to that rather then the Jewish account, efpe-
cially flnce 'Paul himfelf hath confirmed this interpre-
tation by his own practice, *~A&. 20. 7. And why
ihc time of the day may not be altered as well as
the
ctntroverted hy the Learned*
the (day it felf : and that by the fame authority, I fee
no cleare evidence to the contrary.
Nor fee I any convincing ftrength in that mainc
argument fo much infilled upon.
The firft day of the weeke is the Chriftian Sab-
bath j Evening and morning are the firft day of the
week; Srgo, Evening and morning are the Chriftian
Sabbath.
For firft grant the whole Syllogifme, it makes
not againft us. For fince the Evening is put for night
and the morning for day, our Chriftian Sabbath Sill
begins at Evening if it begin at midnight, and fo
ftill Evening and morning are the Chriftian Sab-
bath.
Secondly, to the dMajor we anfwer that the
denomination is taken a <^Hajore parte, and there-
fore the Chriftian Sabbath is truly faid to be the firft
day of the weeke, and contra-, becaufe the greateft
part of it ! falls on the firft day of the week.
Thirdly, we deny the Minor if affirmed de p?*-
fente as the termes carry it' in their fence. We deny
not but before Chtifts Refur region the day began in
the Evening about Sun-fet*but our Saviour after his
Refiirrec"lion altered the houre of the day , as well as
the day of the week, as hath beene proved.
Nor do I conceive it fuchan inconvenience to
affirme that the fix or nine houres from the end of the
Jewish to the beginning of the firft Chriftian Sabbath
were fuffered to lapfe and be vacant upon fo ex-
traordinary an occafion, and every Lords Day after-
wards to begin at midnight or the morning watch :
and upon this ground r l'aul might preach till Mid-
night, though he difcourfed afterwaids till break of
Day, A&s 20.
F 2 Nor
^Difficulties in /acred Chronologie,
Nor need it feeme more ftrangc, that Chrift
should change the houre of' the day, than the day
of the wecke. If the beginning of the yccre was
changed upon a farre lefle occafion, Exodus 12. 2.
why may not the beginning of the day bee chan-
ged upon a farre greater occafion.' That Chrift
might change it no man doubts ; that he did change
it, we have proved by Scripture evidence drawne
from two pregnant examples. Onely, I leave it in
medio to every indifferent mans judgement and con-
feience, whether the Lords day begin at Sun fet, or
midnight , or at the precifc minute of our Saviours
Refurre&ion which is uncertain : onely with this p ro-
z-i/o that at what houre foever we begin it , it muft laft
the fpace of twenty foure houres, namely, a naturall
day as well as any other day.
In this as well as other cafes where we want
cleare Scripture evidence , we muft fuffer every man
to enjoy his owne judgement and confeience fo he be
not a Stickler to make a Party and cauie Divifions in
the Church. What a madneile were it for me becaufe
I judge the Lords day begins in the Everting or mid-
night,to feparate from thofe who differ from me in opinion,
and make a Church onely of fuch as are of my judge-
ment : I wish this were nor too frequent in thefe
times amongft Gods owne People. Otherw'ifc how
comes it to paffe that one Church cannot hold us be-
caufe we differ fn judgement about Church Govern-
ment; efpecially when no fubfeription is urged , nor
approbation of the Presbyterial Government: and upon
the like conditions wee would not ftickc to joyne with
them , were their way ftablished by Authority as ours
is/ The bare fetling under a Government is no appro-
bation of it 5 Co we fubferibe not to it nor be forced
under
"mntnverted by the Learned*
under it to praclife any thing, contrary to our coftfci-
ences. But I rauft crave pardon for this digreflion,'
which I ventured upon the rather to perfwade fome
erring Brother into the way , and that if poiTibly we
mbht all unite in one heart and one way, though haply
we cannot in one judgement , nor one principle : and
I mull: confefle this whole feclion doth not fo pro-
perly belong to a difcourfe of Chronology ,• yet it
may give further occaflon to the godly learned to
feeke out the truth in this as well as in other parti-
culars: which the Lord give us all grace to doe
in love, gentlenelTe, and humility.
Since I have tranfgrefsed thus farre I thinke my
felfe bound to adde this caution , lead weake or ill af-
fected perfonsj should hence take occafion to cur-
talize the Lords day, and faciilegioufly to robbe him
of his due, beginning the Lords day haply at
Sun-rifing 3 and ending it at Sun-fet. i wish too
many did not worfe, fpending the day it felfe in finne
and vanity , as if that of all dayes in the week were
a time of liccntioufneiTe.
The Jewes formerly had a faying , Let my Souh
be in their cafe who begin the S abb aih with them of the
ValleYj and end it -with them in the Mountain e:
intimating thereby that they thought them in the heft
condition who begin the Sabbath fooneil,and end it lateft.
When-evei the Lords Day begins, certainly an
antecedent preparation is neceitary, and they doe
much wrong their owne fouls, who by bufymgtbcmfelves
in worldly imployments late over night do indiipofe them-
felves for the Lords Day following., and are fitter to
deep then to attend upon Gods fervice. Yet if I might
prefume to gueile, t should be apt to thinke, that
either at mid-night or about three of the clock in the
morning the Lords day begins. The
Difficulties In f acred ChronologU\
The Fiift of thefe I ground upon "Taut* preach*
irig till midnight, Acts 20. 7. probably becaufe the
Lords Day lafted (o long, which feemes the mere
likely becaufe in the fame verfe he (ayes he was to
depart on the morrow, which morrow in verfe 11.
is interpreted to be breake of day, and this all know
is before Sunne-rifing : where then I pray should that
morrow begin unlelTe it were immediately after
midnight > or about three in the morning/ And at
this time we reckon the day to begin at midnight as
is apparent by the houres of the day> for with us
the twelfth houre of the day is at noone> but with the
Jews it was at Sun-fet.
If we fay the Lords day begins about three in
the morning it may well agree with the time of our
Saviours Refurre&ion who is exprelTely faid to rife
if** that is in the fourth and laft watch of the night,
as is evident by Mark 16. 9. compared with
Mark 13. 35. for the night was divided into
twelve letter houres and foure watches , each con-
taining three houres a piece. In like fort the day
had Twelve lelTer and foure greater houres.
Thus our Saviour is faid to be crucified about
the fixth houre Luke 23. 44. but about the third
houre Mark 15. 25. that is about twelve of the
clockc which ended the fixth lelTer houre and be-
gan the third greater houre : fc that between three
and fix in the morning our Saviour rofe , and there-
fore fome make this time of his Refurre&ion to be
the beginning of the Lords day , as well as his Re-
furre&ion to°be the ground or occafion of the Lords
Day. But thefe differences may eafily be reconciled by
charity. If thou have faith, have it to thj felf, Rom.

r The promife was made to Abraham being (not 7 J. but) 70. year old
when be was in Ur s (not in Haran) as is proved from Aas.7.2,3. See the
fecond Difficulty in the Preamble.
Ifaack was born in a year of jubilee, andprecifely 30. year after the
Promiie : An efpecial type of Chrift, who in his thirties year entred up-
on his Prophetical Office. HislovewasfuchtoRebeckab,thatheis not
recorded to have any wife or concubine but only her. As Chr.ft,iotae,
was obedientto his father even unto the death, though he had ftrength e-
noughtoreftft, bein^ (as is fuppofed) about that time between twenty
and thirty year old, (Gen. 22. 0,10.) yea, by fome he is thought to have
been then above thirty year old. His very name (figmtying laughter)
fhews the great joy (hall come unto the Church by Chrift, who for our
fakes was a man of forrowes and wept often, but is never recorded in Scri-
pture to laugh. And whether Abrahams laughter upon the promiie or
Ifaacksbirth (Gen. 17.17.) (as a type of Chrift) werenothisreioycingto
leeChriftsday, (Joh.8.56*.) (atleaftinpart) L leave it to the mdgement
of the Godiy learned.
Sarah is the only woman whofe age is mentioned in Scripture, Gen.
2.5.1. Broughton.
Ifaack being forty y . old marricth Rebeckah three years after his Mo-
thers death. Gen.25. 20.

Shem.
That Shem might be Melchizedek is probable enough, fince he lived to
the i co.year of Abrahams life : whereas that fight (Gen. 14.) hapned be-
tween the 7$, and 85". year of Abrahams life. Gen. 12.4. and k6. 3.
SuppofeRebeckah were but if .y. old when Kaack married her/he could
not beleffe then ii2.y.oid whenjacob fled to Laban,as appears by adding
ao.y . after her marriage to Jacobs birth, and 77. years of Jacobs life when
he went to his Uncle, to the age of &ebeckah when fhewas married. In
all probabiiitie fbe dyed betore Jacobs \o years lervice expired, elie at his
return (fee muft needs be 13 1 y. old, and 5 y. older than Sarah her mother
in law was at her death.
Abraham died not till Jacob was if. year old: which explains that
place Heb, 11 . $> . how Abraham dwelt with Ilaack and Jacob.
Eber was the fevent^ from Enoch (as Enoch was from Adam,) yet witk
this difFerencc,thatEnoch was the (eventh from Adam inclufively jEbe^r the
{eventh from Enoch exclusively, but the fourteenth from Adam,as Ifaack
was the feventh from Eber andthe one and twentieth from Adam, an e-
f pecial type of Chrift, and the childe of the Promiie, Gal. 4. 28. Heb .11.17.
18. All thefe (if I may fo call them) were Sabbatical perfons, Enoch being
the laft or the firft feven, Eber of the fecond, and ifaack of the third : pro-
bably he was not far inferiour to Enoch in GodlineiTe. His name conti-
nued in Abrahams pofterity , wno of bim were called Hebrews. Adams
Language remained with them until the laft Prophets, though neer loft in
Babel. Eber lived 4 years after Abrahams death, and was the longed liver
of all that were born after theFloud. vid. Brougbton.

Ifhmael the only wicked whofe age is recorded in the Law, Gen,af. 17*
Broughton.
Probably Jacob married the fame year he came to Laban, namely when
he. was 77 years old : elie if we fiippofe he married not Leah till the end of
his 7 years fervice, he rauft be 84 years old before he married,and alio muft
be conceived tohave a dozen children in 7 years fpace. Nowfuppofing
he was 77 years old at his marriage, grant him but every year a child : Le-
vi his third Son was born when Jacob was 80 years old j And this only-
probable ground have I of Levi his birth at that time: his age lee Exo.<5.i<£,
Efau being 40 y ears old marrieth his two firft wives, Gen.26.3 <\. and was at
leaft 77 yeai sold when he married his third wife, nc.mely Mahalath the
daughter of Ifhmael, Gen. 28.9. upon occafion of Jacobs going to Laban in
the 77 year of his age, as fhall afterwards be cleared: and both the bro-
thers being twins,who fees not but Efau muft needs be 77 years old at leaft
if he married not Ifhmads daughter till Jacob was 77 years old?
That Jacob was 77 years old when he travelled to his Uncle Laban, may
be thus cleared. Jacob was 130 years old when he ftood before Pharaoh,
Genefis 47.9. at the fame time Joleph was 39 years old, Genefis 45-.
6. 11. compared with Genefis 41. 46. 29. 30. ^3, ^4. which ap-
pears thus : -He was thirty years old when he expounded Pharaohs
dreams, Gen. 41.46'. The years of plenty were 7, and as many of fa-
mine, verie 29,30. 73, 74. of the fame chapter : ofthefe 14 years the 7 years
of Plenty 3 and two years of Famine were paft when Jacob came to ./Egypt,
Gen.45.rf.11. which added together make 9 years, "and thefe added to Jo-
fephs 30 years make 39 years, the juftageof Jofeph when his Father was
130 years old : fubftract now ^p out of 130, there reft 9 1 years, the ju ft age
of ]acob when Jofeph was born. Laftly,outof 91 fubftrad 14 years , the
time of Jacobs fervice at the birth of Jofeph,Gen. 30. 25,26. compared with
Gen.31,41. there reft jy year,the juft age of Jacob when he came to L^ban.

From the 17 to the jpof Jofeph, Jofephs brethren lay under the guilt
of that great fin of felling their brother, and that without remorfe, namely
forthef,iact;of22years,Gen.42.2i,2?.
lofenh beino 1 7 year old is fold For a Have, (Gen. 37 2.) Nourrfbeth his
Father Jacob asmany years in £gypt, together with all his family, Gen.
47.t2.andio(ifever any) made requital to his Parent , according to that
rule, 1 Tim. 4.5;. .
\V ithin the (pace or 210 years Jacobs poftenty mcreaied trom leventy
fouls to fix hundred thoufand and more, Gen 46. 27. compared with Exod.
12. 37. a clear evidence ofthefaithfulneffc of Gods Promile, Gen. 13.16.
^i^-Deut. 10.21. and the mighty power of Faith, Heb. 11. 11,12. To
evide nee this, note, from the Promife made to Abraham being 70 year old,
to the going out of i£gvpt are 430 years, Exod. 12. 40. Gai. 3. 17. of this
to Ifaacks birth are 30 years, thence to Jacobs birth, 60 years, thence to
the sojn»irtoi£gvpt T30 yeais j all which being added together make
220 years, which being fub (traded from 430, leave 210 years, the juft time
of the Ilraelites fojourning in iEgypt, where they increafed lo mightily.
Jacob ?ceth from Laban being 97 years old, after 20 years hard fervice
Gen. 31. 38. About the fams time he wreftleth with the Angel, and is cal-
led Ifrael. Gen. 32.24. 28.
About this time alfo Deborah Rebeckahs nurfe dyed, and could not
well beleffe than 147. year old at her death. Suppofe her but 1 ^ . 5 eir old
when Rebeckah was born, and Rebcckah but 1? year old when fhe was
married to Ifaack,fhc was then thirty years o'd at Rebeckahs marriage:
to this ad 20 years after the marriage before Jacob was born, Gen. 2f . 20.
2.6. and <)7 years more the age of Jacob when Iw. went from Laban : Adde
all thefe together, it makes 147 years, the leaft age of Deborah when Trie
dyed : and probablv fhe might be o!der,for no man knows how long Ja-
cob dwelt at Shechem ; as alfo at Succoth, Gen. 33. 17. 19. as alfo how
long he flayed at Bethel before her death : for at Shechem he bought laifd,
and at Bethel after his journey from Shechem he built an Altar, Gen. 3 <;. 6,
7. and there Deborah died and was buried: no doubt a Godly and very
ancient Matron ; She out-lived Sarah at leaft 20 years.
Ifaack (though born of almoft dead Parents) liveth the longeft of any
after Terah,that the ftrength of the Promile might appear, Gen. 3 J. 28.

ing into JEgy pt. Now fuppofe him but Bcvvly boi'n at that time ; hils life
and the lives of other Patriarchs added together will not come neer 4$o.y .

Total — 3 jo. y. which falls fat fliovt of

merly fhewed. The 430 years then begin at Abrahams iirft removal out
of Ur of the Chaldees. That place therefore E.od. 12. &>• is well reqdred
by the Tranflators : The fojourning of the Children of Mrael whb dwelt irf
/Egypt &c. and not whiles they dwelt in i£gy pt, was 430 years ; to which'
(for explication) the Septuagint adde well, Who fojournedin Agypt, and
in the Land of Canaan; for the greater part of thofe 430 years they lojourn-
ed in Canaan and Haran, (at leaft ibme of them ) audit is remarkable here,
that Parents are laid to lojourn in their children, (for under the children
of Ifrael in this place, are included Abraham, Ifaack and Jacob) as in other
places the children are faid to do what their parents did, Heb. 7. 9,10.
Rom. 5.12. and thus we all finned in our Grandfather Adam.
The fpace between Jofeph and Mofes is unparcelled, and omitted in
Scripture,yet by collection may thus be proved to be fpyears. From the
Promife to the Law is juft 430 years : all the parcells of which great funt

Mofes was born uo year after the Promtfe, AnnoMundi 2428, which
is thus proved, He was 80 year old when he was lent to Pharaoh to bring

Aaron beinp three year older than Mofes, Excd 7.7. was born An Mundi

birth, the Void fpace of years fitould be reckoned from his death, and not
from Wepbsdeceafe. And its eafie to prove that he out-lived Joieph itf.

fpace ot Tofhaahs governmentythough they be unparcelled in Scripture, as
without which the 480 years from the Lambe to the Temple cannot be
madeup. Grantthenthat Jofhuah governed juft 17 years, (for the tore*
mentioned parcells I (hall make good hereafter by peece-meal, only tor
prelent I defire the Reader to credit me in them.) Its evident that the 17
year of his government runs parallel with the no or laft year olms lite,

Caleb was 15 year younger then Jofhuah, and 42 year younger than

The $2 Jubilee of the world (according to cur account) fell out in the
atfjwtek of years: anlv.cring thereby at once both t'^cNu;'. I weeks
and dayes in one year, w rich contains ^2 weeks and gd'j daj
-fubilee of the work! runs parallel with, the fir ft Jubilee oi 1 yen*
tring Canaan at the end of the 52 jubilee, in a Sabbatical year.
There is fome difficulty to reconcile that Text, Ads 13. 20. with the
times of the judges .: the time of the Judges -tuic, in tie bo( dges|
from Jofhuahs death to the laft of Samfom is but 299 years, as anyl who
have but ordinary skil in Arithmttick may fee by adding the federal years
of their feveral Governments together. Adde totheie4oyearsoi
government, 1 Sam. 4. 18. the total is but 339 years, and falls far ihort of
450 years, which the Apcftle reckons upon in the foregoing ten. To iaive
which difficulty, note firft, that the years of the Judges rule (for Samuels
government is included in Sauls raign, Acts 13. 21.) are 3 39. fecondly,
that the A pottle (probably according to the minde of the Septuagint)iuper-
adds to theie the years wherein the lfraeiites were crufhed by their oppref-
fors, which in truth are not difti net from jbut included in the years of the
Judges rule : yet being added as diftind from them, make up preciieiy 450
years, according to the A poftles account, Ads $3,20. as may appear by
what follows. They were opprefkd
1 ByCufban. Jud.3.8. 8
a'ISyMoSB. Jiid.3.14. 18
3 By Jabin. Jud.4.3. 2 °
4 ByMidian. Jud.tf.i. 7
5 By Ammon. Jud.10.8. 18
6 BythePhiliftims. Jud.13.1. 40
Total in. to which adde the years of the
Judges government to the laft of Ely .3 3 9 .
TheSummeis 470. the juft account of the Apoftle
'Ads 13.20. But that the whole time of the Judges rule cannot contain 450
years is evident by what follows g
1 , From the Lam b to Canaan . 40
2 Thence to Jofhuahs laft 17
3 Thence(fuppofe)toElieslaft 4^0
4 Thenceto the laft of Saul and David 80
5 Thence to Salomons fourth in which the Temple was founded. 4
TotaUis 591
fo that by this reckoning, from the Lamb to the Temple fhould be 5,1 y.
contrary to clear Scripture, 1 Kings 6.1. Subftrad therefore that 1 1 1 years
in which the lfraeiites were opprelTed, There reft 480 y.
the juft (pace from the e;oingout of iE^ypt, to the founding of Solomons
Temple. Whence I cleerly conclude", that thofe 1 1 1 years muft «ceds be
fupeifluous, and were included in the rule of the Judges.

■ tnuft not think that EW ruled go years j for face the thortctog of
» life to 70 or 80 years, (Plal.po.io.) in the time of Moles, noneever
ruled lo lone, (only jofeph is recorded to continue in authontie 8a years.)
But rhe meaning is, that after the expiration of Othniells government it-
was 80 years to the end of thuds aftairs : part of which alio included rhe
government of Shamgar. Broughton.
Its remarkable that the jubilees of Canaan (according to our account:
run parallel vyith the jubilees of the World. Nor need bny be icmpled
that we reckon the firft jubilee of Canaan (running parallel with tM fi
lubilee of the World) to fall out in the jiye.r alter 1 anaan was entred,
(whereas a lubilee in the largeft extent contains at moft but jo years corn-
pleat ) fince the date of their lubilees was reckoned not by the Eccleiiafti-
calyear (beginning in Spring when they entredinto Canaan) but by the
civil y ear which began in September or Autumne immediately iucceeding
their entrance into Canaan, namely 6 months after : fo as about ^oat*
after Canaan entredmuft be reckoned as utterly lapfed in refpect ot tbfc
firft lubilee of Canaan,wbi cb began the Autumne following their entrance
not in the Spring ot that Sabbatical year, in which oreciiey theyentred
Canaan. For as the Iubileesof the World, foaifo the lubuees of Canaan
begin in Autumne. Levit.25.9.
That battel fought Iud .20. could not probably fall out later then the 43
of Ehud, though it bee recorded per ^*n*ty9 in the end 1 f the
Iudees ' My ground is becaule Phineas was present at it, Jud.20.i8.
who being at leaft 20 y. old when he flew Zimri and Cozby (otherwiiehe
was not capable of bearing arms) atthis time muft be above 120 year old,
which age was rare in thofe times. They who place this Hiftory accord-
ing to the order of Narration, after Samfons death, muft of neceflity make
pfineas to be above 330 years old : which how probable, I leave to the
judgement of the impartial Reader.

The lives of thofe four, namely Salmon, Boaz, Obedand JeiTe,Ruth4 #
21,22. contained about 400. year: .md for their four Ages we have 18
aoes from Koran to Samuels foos,(i Chron 6.22. i 8 ) or there about. The
fons of Koran then dyed not, Numb. 26. 11 . but fled from their Father to
Moles.
The Government of Samuel and Saul, are reckoned as one, Acts 13.20,
2\. yet fo as Samuel is thought to ]udgethefii:it20year, and Saul to rule
the laft 20 year, which make up that 40 year mentioned by the Apoftlerand
accordingly I have let them both together.
From the entrance into Canaan to the birth of David, are $66 year, and
yet but four Generations, namely, Salmon, Boaz,Obed, and JeiTe, Ruth,
4.2i,22.andMatth.i.5' 3 <5. Salmon could not be more then $9 years old
when Canaan was entred. For iuppole him nineteen years old at
the comming out of JEfey pt, ( had he been but one year older he had dyed
among thole that were numbred from 20 year old &c. Numb. 26. 64. 6 j.
Compared with Numb, 14.29.) ne fhouM then be 79 year old when tl ey en-
tred Canaan. And being probably the heir of the Houfe,he was not borne
in bis Fathers old age, who dyed m'the WilderneiTe. But fuppofe him to
bebornafter2©yearvvandringinthe Wildernefle ; he was then 20 year
old at the entrance into Canaan ; about which time fuppofe Rahab was ijf
vear old. He is thought to beget Boaz of Rahab about the end of Othni-
els Government, that is 5 7 year after the entrance into Canaan,being him-
felf at that time 77 year old upon the former (uppofition of his birth in the
WilderneiTe. If he were born in jfcgypt, he could not be lefle than 9?
year old at Boaz his birth. Suppofe now
From Canaan entred to the birth of Boaz f 7
Thence to Obeds birth 107
Thence to ]efTe his birth 102
Thence to Davids birth ico
Total ^66 the]uftfpaceoftime
between the Entrance of Canaan and the birth of David. No wonder then
Jeffe went for an old man at the conqueft of Goliah, 1 Sam. 17.12. when he
was at leaft an hundred year old at Davids birth. By all which may be ga-
thered that Naomi her fojourning hapned under the Government of Oth-
niel, and that Obed was born in the times of Deborah, and Jeffe about the
beginning of jephthahs government, or the end of jairs Government, and
that unhappy war with the Benjamites hapned a good while before the
dayes of Deborah, Phineas being then alive, Jud. 20. 28. who was not pro-
bably lefTc than 20 year old when he flew Zimri and Cozby ; and fuppofe
he lived an hundred year after that (being about the fortieth year of their
journying in the WifdernefTe) his life could reach but the 43 year of Ehuds
Government : in whofe time therefore, or in Othnicls that war hapned.

* David is annointed King overall Ifrael, e*ac% a thoufand years before
our Lard Cbrift luftered and cntred into bis Kingdom of glory, Luke 24.
■z'6. He raigned juft our Loids age over a)lHrael,namely 32year rfmonths,
or 33 year currant; 2 Sam. 5. 5. and was an elepecial lypeof ourblefled
Saviour.
Its remarkable of little Benjamin, who by bis tin was brought to 600
men only, Jud. 20.47.48. yet by Gods blefling was afterwards increafed to
almo ft 60000 men of War, toward the end of Davids raign, as ftands recor-
ded by Ezra, 1 Chron. 7.7.9. 11. and that *** inthreeo * hi& pofteritie, for
all the Tribe of Benjamin was not numbred by ]oab, 1 Chron. 21 . 6. yea,
2 Chron.14.8. they were encreafed to 280000 fighting men^nd 2 Chon.17.
17,18. there were 380000, in the dayes of Afa and Jehofaphat. In the plains
of Moab,the greateft number of them was but 45600. But afcer that great
blow (probably upon their repentance) they mightily encreafed out of
a fmal handful : Sinne brings low , but God upon our repentance can
quickly encxeafe^and make our latter end better than our begining.

Probably about the 39 of* Solomon ending, Jehojadah that famous Prieft
was born; which is thus proved. He was 130 year old at his death, 2 Chron.
24.15. He was alive the 23 of Joafh, 2 Kin. 12.6,7. Now iuppole nehad
lived three year longer to the 2$ of Joafh ending, (for after his death the
King tell to Idolatry, murdered his fon, and fell into many evils, 2 Chron.
24.17 — 2j.) Joafh his 2? year ran parallel with the 156 year after the
Temple founded. Subftraft 13Q out of 156, there reft 2d year from the
Temples founding ; attheendof which Jehojadah was born. Ityoupro-
tract Jchojadahs life to the 39 of Joafh ( which is the utmoft ) then he was
born in the fourth year of Rehoboam, and 40 year after the Temple foun-
ded, as appears by iubftra&ing 130 his age, from I70 3 the Ata of the Tern*
pie at his death, upon the laft fupuofition.
Jofiah was prophefied of about 329 years before he was born, 1 Kin, 13.
2. preiently upon the Divifion.
Its remarkable of all the Kings of Hrael,that the age of none of them
is noted, when they came to the Crown, there being not one Godly King
among them all : and but two that aie not branded for cleaving to the fins
of Jeroboam, to wit Shallum and Hofhea, 2Kin.i5. 13. ij.and 17. 1,2.
They were all fo naught that God thought not their Nativity worth the
noting, which yet was wont to be celebrated, Gen 41.20. Mark tf. 21.

loram the fonneof fttfefaphat was twice
V'cerovj firft in the 17 Near of lehofa-
plia-, as appears by comparing 2 Kin- 1 • 17-
with 2 kin. 3. i- wtierethe firft year of Ie-
horam Ahabs fon concurs with the 18. year
of lehofaphat, and the lecond year of Ieho-
ram the fon of lehouphat. Hence I argue,
if rhe iecond of iehoramKing of ludah con-
curred with the eighteenth of lehofaphat:
then his firft veer inuft needs concurre wuh
rhe 17 of lehofaphat : vet at that time
he was bur Viceroy, his Father living 8 or
£ year after his firft admifiion ro the Crown.
And this may wve rhat difficulty » 2 Chron-
2112. HowE'ias could fend a Letter ro
this Iehoram, The anfwer is eafv. Ieho-
ram was made Viceroy in the firft year of
Ahaziah Co* of -.hah which ran parallel
wirhrhe 17 of lehofaphat a year or two at
leaft before Eliao hi^ Tranfarion, 2 Kin.i.?.
Now being a wicked wretch and fearing
therefore to be dif- inherited, he might rake
advan'age in his Fathers abfence ('who pro-
bably made him Viceroy upon occafion of
fome expedition abroad ) to cur off all his
brethren, thereby to make the Kingdom furc
unro himfelf, 2 Chron.21.4. whereupon E!i-
.1: oght fend him that fharp letter 7 he being
fodefparare as none durft venture to reprove
him by word of mouth, 2 Chron. 21. 12- 15
He was the fecond time Viceroy in the 22
year of lehofaphat which concurred with
:be fifth of iehoram fon to Ahab, 2 King.8.
16*. which indeed was the firft of his eight
\ears raign, for he raigned bur four compleat
years after his Fathers death.
Ahaziah and Iehoram Kings of Ifrael be-
gan both toraign before their Father Ahabs
death, rhe one in the n, the other in the 18
year of Lehofaphat, which run parallel with
the 20 and 21 of.^hab.
The two battels between Ahab and Ben -
hadad hapned about the ninereerrh or twen-
tieth year of Ahabs raign, ao is evident by
I Kin?, 22. 1.2.

The Kingdom of Iudah was governed 1 1
years by ftates,without a King, namely from
rhe 1 5 to the 2? of Lroboam,the firft where-
of concurs with rhe 29 of Amaziah, and the
laft with the nrft of Wziah, 2 Kin. 14. 23.
and 15- i- where he is a!fo called Azariah.
from the 29 or Jaft of Amaziah to the firft
of Vzziah intcrceed 1 1 years ccmp!ear,in all
which fpace no King fwayed rhe Sceprer of
Iudah, nor indeed was Vzziah capable of it
(unlciTe by a Proteflour) being but four or
five year old when his father Amaziah dyed.
The kingdom of Ifrael by fedition was as
long again as Iudah without a King, namely
fiili 22 years, from the laft of Jeroboam to
the raign of Zacharias ; the firft running pa-
rallel with the 1 5, and the laft with the 38
of Vzziah. This Zachariah was the fourth
of Iehu his generation? whereby the promife
of God was made-good unto Iehu, 2 K ing-
le. 30. and 15-12. God bringing this fourth
fon of Iehu to the throncnotwithftanding all
impediments that lav in the way for 22 year

make Gods promife abortive, though for a
while Gods providence may feem to croflfe
his promife.
With us Chrift fuffered in the firft year
of the 182 Olympiad: with others in the

Brou^hton in bis Concent thinks Darius Hiftafpis to be the fame with
Ahaffuerus in whofe time that famous ftory of Hefterhapned, Its remark-
able that though the book of Hefter contain mo ft admirable paflages of
Gods providence in delivering or his Church, yet in that book alone (of ail
the books of holy Scripture ) the name of God is not fo much as once men-
tioned.
The Perfian Monarchy was thought to laft above 20a y. Broughton for
the eftablifhino- of Daniels 70 weeks, makes it tarre fhorter, and that not
without juft around : of which 1 have handled before in the Difficulties of
Chronolo.-ne controverted by the Learned, I fhail not therefore note
particular^ the names of the Perfian Kings, becaufe their feveral raigns
contradict the i£ra of Daniels 70 weeks which I follow exactly in this
Chronology.
Both the Grecian and Roman Monarchy begin 30 year fooner with us
than with other Chronologers, becaufe we conceive that Chrift fuffered
20 y. fooner than they did, namely An. Mundi 3pp. and not An.lvl2.982,.

\ which hew probable, let any indifferent Reader judge. Suppofethe
Covenant were taken in the ?oyear or Artaxerxes Mnemon, whichisthe
J . cimeimagina.blc,Neh.2.i.aiid y.i^.lince it was the 20 y. of this
King, before; Neucmiah was (cut as Gov ernour, arid under whole Govern-
ment thcCovenant was taken. From the rirft return out of Captivity to the
20 or" Artaxerxes Mnemon, (according to I featfaen Authors) palled at leaft
X44 years, to which add 20 y . of their age v. ho returned, the total is 164 y.
And yet fo old they muft be ifjpropfijine i nftorians count the raigns of the
Periian Monarchs right : which how contrary to the Scriptures ? Certain-
ly had Cbronologers been as diligent in iearch of Scripture as in tumbling
over old heathen fables, they had never left both us and themfelves in inch
perplexity as now they have done about the true date of Daniels Weeks.
But no wonder if they wander and ftumble in their paths,who chofe to fol-
low the candle-Lf ,ht of Heathens rather than the cleer Sun-fbine of Scri-
pture, and will bring that golden Standard ro their Lesbian rule. More of
this iec in the Difficulties following the Preface, namely in the fourth
Dilficultic.
Yet their lying Olympiads are contradicted not only by Scripture, but
alio by fome of the honeficr heathen; witnelTePlutarch,who in the begin-
ning of his Numa affirms that Numa was 40 y . old currant when he entrcd
upon the Kingdom. 2. That he was born on that very day on which
the City of Rome was built 3 and lo his age runs parallel with JEva U.C.
3 . The fame Author averts that Numa was created King in the third
y. of the 16 Olympiad, which therefore muft run parallel with the 40 y. of
V. C. atleaft in feme part of it. 1 o all which add Alfteds confeilion in his
Thefaur. Chronolog. p. 212. (though a maintainor of the truth of Hea-
then Olympiads contrary to Scrip£ure)that Numa was contemporary with
Hezekiahj Its apparent rhat the \6 Olympiad fell out in Hezehahs raign
according to our date,ai ,d that the date of their Olympiads muft needs be
falce who begin them 54 V before curs. And for my part i had rather
beleevc one honeft heathen fpeaking with Scripture, then ten thoufand of
them fpeaking again ft it. Nor can I but wonder that Chriftian Chrono-
logers (lioiild lay that for a foundation (I mean the ufual date of the Olym-
piads) which is lb much qaeftioncd by Plutarch an honeft Heathen. Cer-
tainly the building cannot be firm which leans upon fo lardy a foundation.
The ground of mif dating the Olympiads hath been formerly proved to be
that grand miftake irbout the date of Abrahams birth : to which I muft re-
fer the Reader,
There yet remains one feuplc , namely how the feveral raigns of the
Perfian Kings can be reconciled with our date of the Perfian Empire.
For by the computation of their ieveral raigns the Periian Monarchy held
about 200 y. but after our account it lafb but i2

ailume their ions and grandchildren into the tellowih.p o their King-

Scripture,E2T.5.*4. clfe how could the Temple be hmihed by the Decree
of Darius and Artax.had not Artax.raigned with his father Darius,in whole
tfy the Temple was tiniihed? Thus Cyrus might affumeCambyies: Da-
viu^ Hyftaipis might aflume Xerxes, and he Artaxerxes Longimamis his
fon at the lame time. Longimanus might aflume Darius Nothus, and he
Artax. M ncmon , as is conffft. Then grant that Darius Ochus . raigncd o

full times lolely ;their feveral years fummed up might makeaooy. though
the Wcbies rightly linked together extended the Perfian Monarchy
