epistle to the Corinthians the first chapter and 30. verse where hee sayth that Christ was made righteousnesse vnto vs. To seale vp vision and prophet A testament or couenant in writing is neuer sure before the seale be set vnto it That maketh all good That confirmeth and giueth strength And therfore by a metaphor or borrowed speach to seale vp vision and prophecie is as much as to confirme the same So the word is taken in the 3. chapter of Iohns gospell and 33. verse He which receaueth his testimonie hath sealed vp that God is trewe that is confirmed Whatsoeuer in the old testament had been foretold and promised by the holy prophets of God concerning Christ his birth his redeeming the elect from thrall and sauing from sinne his forerunner his preaching his miracles his humility betraying for money death resurrection ascnceon and glorious kingdome were all most certainly performed by him in their dew time The verifying and fulfilling whereof was as it were a seale for sure confirmation of the vndoubted truth thereof And for this cause the time of vision and prophet is limited to the comming of Christ and the cleare preaching of the gospel in his kingdome wherby he was to verifie confirme and fulfill the same This we are taught in the beginning of the epistle to the Hebrewes in these wordes God in times past spake often and many wayes to the fatheres by the prophets But in these last dayes he hath spoken to vs by his sonne And to anoint This interpretation of the word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 I dare commend vpon my knowledge to the Church of GOD for good if euer any hath been good It is sure as heauen and earth no sillable amisse VVhich I speake to this end that no man doubt to receaue and hold fast this for the vndoubted truth of God in this place cōcerning the annointing of Christ being an excellent point of diuinitie whereof he euen tooke his name to bee called Messias or Christ that is annointed Ioh. 1.42 For the better vnderstanding whereof wee are to know that in time of the lawe the holy priestes prophets and kinges when they first tooke their offices vpon them were annointed with holy oile And this was the ceremonie of consecrating them to the seruice of God in those callinges For the annointing of priestes we haue the commaundement of God in the last chapter of Exodus the 13. verse where speaking to Moses of Aaron Thou shalt sayeth God annoint him and sanctifie him that hee may minister vnto me in the priestes office For the prophets annointing we haue the example of Elizeus annointed by Elias to be a prophet his stead And for kinges many testimonies in VVhereof I wil bring onely 2. one of Dauid annointed king ouer the house of Iuda The other of Salomon annointed kinge by Tsadoc the priest and Nathan the prophet 2. Sam. 2.4 Now Christ was the trewe high priest enduring for euer 1. Reg. 45. much more excellent then the priests of the law Heb. 7.24 and 8.6 Act. 3.22 He was also that excellent prophet commaunded to be heard in al things Lastly he is the eternall king to whome God gaue the throne of his father Dauid Luk. 1.32.33 to raigne ouer the house of Iacob for euer of whose kingdome shall be no end Christ then hauing in himselfe alone al those dignities of King Priest and Prophet at once together to the which other were annoynted seuerally someone some another was therefore by a certaine kinde of excellencie called 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 that is the annoynted The Law Priests Prophets and Kings were annoynted with materiall holy oyle but Christ with the spirituall oyle of the holy Ghost which in the 45. Psalme is called the oile of gladnes God hath annointed thee with the oyle of gladnes aboue thy fellowes that is with the holy Ghost which therefore in the first Epistle of Iohn the second chapter the 20. and 22. verses is called an oyntment by a translation taken from the annoyntings of the Law Yee haue an oyntment from him that is holie This spirituall annoynting of Christ is spoken of by Esay in his 61. chapter the first verse The spirit of the Lord is vppon mee therefore hath hee annoynted mee Hee hath sent me to preach good tydinges vnto the poore Clemens Alexandrinus hereof touching Christ his annoynting hath this saying 1. Strom. Our Lord Christ the holy of holies who came and fulfilled Vision and Prophet was annoynted in the flesh with the spirit of his father Therfore those materiall annoyntings of the law were nothing els but tipes and figures of this spiritual annoynting of Christ The holie of holies That is the most holie Christ was endued with the holie Ghost without measure Iohn 3.34 Euen a verie fountaine of holinesse of whose fulnesse wee are all made holie Christ Iesus saith Paul is made vnto vs sanctification Hereof in the first of Luke 1. Cor. 1 30. the 35. verse he is called 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 that holie one Ch. 7. v. 26. Hee is in the Epistle to the Hebrewes sayde to be an high Priest holie innocent vndefiled seperate from sinners and made higher than the heauens and therefore not without cause in this place called most holie The Popes holines striueth with Christ about this tittle at least to be equal with him challenging to himselfe the name not to bee called holie which were enough for a spotted man but that is not enough for him he will bee as good as Christ euen most holie yea holinesse it selfe or nothing at all Well if he can say so much for himselfe to haue that title as Gods word sayeth for Christ let him take it otherwise let him see howe hee can auoide Antichristian pride Thus the generalitie of Daniels weekes is declared so plainely pointing out the comming of Christ the effects thereof as though hee had read the writings of the Euangelists the Apostles or had beene an eye-witnes in the time of Christ to the verifying and fulfilling of these thinges Now followeth a more speciall and particular handling of them deuided into three parts in the other three verses The 25. verse The going forth of the word Moses in Deut. the fourth chapter thirteenth verse saith That God declared vnto Israell his couenant euen the ten wordes and wrote them vpon two Tables of stone meaning therby the ten commandements Assuerus commanded his seruants to bring Vashti the Queene before him Hest 1.12 but she would not come at his word that is at his commandement When the same king had decreed that all the Iewes in his dominion should bee destroyed For publishing thereof the Posts went out in all haste by the kinges word which was nothing els but his commandement So here by the word going forth is to be vnderstood a commandement which then is saide to goe foorth when it is first sent to bee published and proclaimed as in

were past and gone which must needes be in the 29. yeare Immediatlie after hee addeth that in that yere Cyrus killed two of his kinsemen for not holding their handes within a muffe when they met him as was vsed to be done to kings in token of honour and loyall dutie for their greater securitie that they might bee void of all suspition feare of harme And then followeth that the next yeare after which must needes bee the 27. and last Archytas was Ephorus of Sparta Thus from Xenophon wee learne that which Beroaldus wished the 24. and 27. yeres of the Peloponnesian warre yoaked the one with the first the other with the last of the 93. Olympiad which for sound knowledge of the Persian times to discerne them a right is very material and a sure bulwarke for defence of my former Chronologie Whereby was proued that Cyrus begun in the first of the 55. Olympiad towarde the end from which time to the fourth of the 93 nere ended are 155. yeares That is to say 30 of Cyrus 8 of Cambyses 36 of his successor of Xerxes 21. of Artaxerxes 40. with that of Xerxes and Sogdianus included 20. of Darius Nothus whose raigne ended almost together with the Peloponnesian warre as before hath beene declared by the testimonie of Diodorus Siculus and appeareth by Thucidides making his thirteenth the twentieth of the warre Erastosthenes an auncient writer in the time of Ptolomeus Euergetes a man to vse Plinie his terme cunning in the subtiltie of all learning and approued of all so Plinie testifieth of him in his second booke set forth certaine rules of Chronologie which Dionisius Halicarnasseus for the truth thereof exact reckoning greatly commendeth in his first book of Roman antiquities These rules haue beene preserued vnto this age by the carefull diligence of the ancient learned father Clemens Alexandrinus 1. Strom. From the first Olympiad to Xerxes passing into Greece he accounted 297. yeares thence to the beginning of the Peloponnesian warre 48. and after to the end and dissolution of the Athenians common wealth 27. all these gathered together are 372. from the first Olympiad so saieth Eratosthenes agreeing with Xenophons reckoning to Archytas his Maioraltie at Sparta ended with that warre and the fourth of the 93. Olympiad For 93. Olympiads are fourescore thirteene times foure yeres that is the number of Eratosthenes 372. From which summe 54. Olympiads contayning 216. before that wherein Cyrus begun being taken awaie with almost one yeare more from the beginning of it to Cyrus there remaineth for the Persian Monarchie to the end of the Peloponnesian warre 155. yeares before spoken of Diodorus Siculus was a man of wonderfull paines and exceedingly precise in exact computation He spent thirtie yeares in making his Historie from Sicilie his natiue countrie hee trauailed into Egypt and the greatest part of Asia and Europe to search the trueth of those thinges which hee wrote A diligent reader of all the auncient writers before him from Herodotus and other before and after succeding in order whom hee hath followed in the matters which he telleth And therefore not vnfitly the title of his worke is called not a Historie but a Librarie Iustinus Martyr called him the most famous Historiographer of the Grecians Eusebius commendeth him by the name of a notable man in great request among the learned But Henry Stephen aboue all other praiseth him exceedingly giuing him that place degree amongst the learned Historiographers which the sunne hath amongst the starres in regard of exact defining those thinges which he writeth of by ordered times This writer therefore confirming all those thinges before spoken of touching the kings of Persia and the time of their raigne may be in steed of many so as in him alone we may see the iudgement not onely of Herodotus Thucidides Xenophon but also of Callisthenes Duris Timaeus Philiscus Theopompus Ephorus and other by him diligentlie read perused and cyted which at this day are not any where found It were infinite to bring all that might bee said out of Authors for the verefying of this Chronologie tedious to be read toylesome to be written Therefore passing ouer many testimonies of diuers writers I will now come to the Roman Storie to see if it likewise by agreement of time may auaile any thing to fortifie those limits and bounds which haue beene set for the Persian kings The Romanes in continuance of time became Lordes of Greece where the Olympicke sports were celebrated And therefore it could not otherwise bee but that they knew well enough how the yeares of their Citie were answerable to the Olympick reckoning of the Grecians Polybius of Megalopolis a Cittie in Arcadia neere as auncient as Eratosthenes by Cicero accounted amongst the best authors for worthinesse credit commended by Iosephus by Velleius Paterculus honoured with this testimonie that he was a man excelling in wit had in great estimation and followed by Liuie and other in the third booke of his historie affirmeth that the first Consuls of Rome were 28. yeares before the passage of Xerxes into Greece which was in the end of the last yeare of the 74. Olympiad as appeareth by that which before hath bin declared Hereof it followeth that the first of the 68. Olympiad beeing the 14. of Darius Histaspis was that wherin the new gouernment of that Cittie by Consuls was established Whereas before it had bin gouerned by kings for the space of 244. yeares from the first building thereof vnto this time adding 28. yeares or seauen Olympiads more We come toward the end of the last yeare of the 74. Olympiad being the 272. of Rome wherin Xerxes passed into Greece as Polybius testifieth the next yeare after was the first of the 75. wherein Xerxes with his great armie was ouercome as before hath bin prooued The truth hereof is verified by A. Gellius in the last chapter of his seuenteenth book where he writeth that Xerxes was ouercome by Themistocles at Salamis foure yeres before the consulship of Menenius Agrippa and Horatius Puluillus wherein a great kinred of noble Romans called Fabij to the number of 306. hauing taken vpon them at their owne charge to fight against a certaine people were slaine by the subtiltie of their enemies circumuented at the riuer Cremera for this is declared by the Romane histories to haue fallen out in the 277 yeare of Rome and the 33. from the banishment of the kings Dionysius of Halicarnassus in his fift booke of Romane antiquities reckoneth sixteene yeares betwixt Brutus one of the first Consuls death in the end of his yeare and the Marathon fight referring the battaile at Marathon to the seuenteenth yeare after Brutus his buriall and the eighteenth after the kings driuen out of the Citie wherein Gegainus Macerinus and Minutius Augurinus were Consuls In his 7. Booke Which by constant agreement of almost all authors hee sayeth was in the second yeare of the 72. Olympiad So he maketh the 31.
