wilful sinners Of the patience of Christ to a man turning into a Beast and how he deviseth Devises to prevent it or recover him How he fulfilled the Ceremonial Law also and how he was in all the Sacrifices as a Lamb for the Lambs and as a Goat for the Goats Of Benjamin the Son of the right hand with other Children of Rachel a sheep in Hebrew at his right Hand and of the Children of Leah or others at the Left Hand where also of Seir a Goat and of the Goats offered at the New Moons solemn Feasts c. and of the Rams of Ishmael accepted on the Holy Alter Of Gods face in Scripture toward the East and of Bowing to the East and of his Right Hand to the South and Left to the North and of Northern Judgments turned to Mercies and Blessings and of great and good things to come out of the North in the Latter times of the World as from Babylon at the return from Captivity How Christ came in the fulness of time Of Seven Ten the full Rich Numbers of their Powers Compounds for Ages Ever or eternity which yet in Scripture oft hath such or such an End or Revolution in such or such Generations How Christ came out in several Ages and Persons of Note in the Bible to do the Great things of Gods Power Wisdome and Goodness for Man To Man and in Man through all the Times and Seasons of the Scripture and in special the Times of the Witnesses In Heaven the Father and the Word Dabar Bar Bara Creating Heaven and Earth where also the Spirit of the Messiah as the old Jews call it on Gen. 1. 2. Mooving on the Waters an other Witness and parting them by A Dam and Adam of Adama dryed Red Earth akin to Dam in Hebrew Bload the other Witness John 5. and Acts 17. Of one Blood he made all Nations of men and determined the Times appointed and bounds of their Habitations which in parting the sons of Adam he bounded according to the Number of the Sons of Israel Deu. 32. which were 12. and to be measured by the 12 Hours of Day and Night Shadowed on the Tabernacle by the Cloud Pillar of Fire for Light that Beginning of the Creation and works of God and in its outer Court by the Laver of Water and Blood on the Alter of Witness as That called Ed a Witness by the waters also of Jordan where afterward the Baptist heard or saw all the Witnesses of Heaven and Earth to which he bare Record or was made a witness also as divers other in several Ages And All the 7 Washings or Sprinklings of Blood or Water so often required in the Law to represent the 7 Nights and 7 Dayes of the Week As the 7 Lamps in the inner Court or Holy Place as the visible Heavens with its Planets about the Sun in the midst as the greatest Lamp was in the middle of the other 6 or 3 on either side by the 12 Cakes of Shewbread changed every 7th or Sabbath day and made of 24 Omers out of 24 Seahs as the Jewes 24th of Leviticus for the 24 hours of Day and Night Made by the Sun mooving 2 of His Diameters the Moon 24 of Hers in each diurnal motion of 24 Hours parted into 4 great Watches as the 24 Elders in the Revelation had also 4 watchers with 6 wings a piece as in the Prophets And in the Temple also there were 24 courses of Priests and of Levites 24 of Porters and 24 of Singers and 24 courses of Standers or men of the Station representing all the People or 12 Tribes as in the 12 Cakes of 24 as 12 Sons of Jacob or 12 Hours of Light came after the 12 hours of Darkness or 12 Sons of Ishmael or Esau for the 24. Elders And as God gave 24 things to the Priests so they gave 24 to him in their dayly Minha of 12 Rouls at morning and 12 also at Evening And the Seventh in Hours also is very Signal as in Days and Moneths and years by the great Rest and Turn of Sun and Moon as Water and Blood also in the Sea and bodies of Animals after every six hours with Them and All that accounted Lilith that is Night the first Wife to Adam and do call her Eve or Even to the Day As it is to them that are about the Aequator and to All at either Aequinox when Time seemeth to begin And beginning at Sun-set as the Jewes and many other Nations did the First six Hours brought down the Sun to the Midnight Nadir and six more brought it up to the Morning Horizon and six more to the Noon or Zenith and six more to Setting again So that every seventh Hour made a Pauz and Turn And Sabbath is Both in Hebrew As if the watchers stood at the four Corners of Earth or quarters of the Heaven which are called Winds and Spirits also in the Scripture alluding perhaps to the four watching Spirits or Angels to Turn the Sun and Moon or Hour-glass of Waters or Clepsydra in the Seas c. After every six Hours of Day and Night the walks of the Sun and Moon but shadows of the good things within the Vaile or 3d Heaven where the 2 Cherubins of Glory shadowed the Mercy Seat or Heavenly Throne over the Earth or Ark of the Testimony also or Witnes with its 2 Tables or Testaments also For the 2d Covenant as in 29 of Deuteronomy was both Law and Gospel also written in the Ark of the Heart of Christ and all his Members after the first Tables of Stone were broken and disanulled being never put in the Ark or in our Hearts For know you not that your Bodies are the Temple of God As Paul speaketh to the Gentiles also Where our Heads as the Heavens above with two Eyes or Cherubins of Glory The Mercy seat or Throne of God and his Rainbow as in all the Scriptures like our Eye And our Heart Or Altar of Incense As the Earth beneath in the middle Court or 2d Region with its Pericardium of Water and Blood in the Pleura with twelve Ribs on either side and seven distinct from the other Nothi As also the seven Rackets of the neck with its spirit or spinal marrow from the Cerebellum As the Brain hath also seven spirits or pair of Nerves with Animal spirits Veyles and Ventricles which are shadowed in the Lower Regions both of the Earth below in the Heart and Waters under the Earth in our Bowels where the Duodenum and Ilea with all the Rest are but shadowes of things above As of the Laver or Molten sea or great Ocean with its Ebbings and flowings as the Earning of our Bowels and the Altar of Burnt-offerings in our Stomack with its heat or fire never quenched and the seven Planets with the Firmament of the Midrif parting between the Bowels or Waters under it and those above it as high as the Brain

though Ezra speak but of the Temple Telling us also that This East side repaired after by Agrippa was 400 Cubits Long of fair white Stones of 20 Cubits Long and 6 Broad or High of Solomons Work and Thence called Solomons Porch and Shushan the Kings Gate Though the Jewes say Both were Helped by Ezekiels Measures which they Both followed as much as they could And for the distance of These Courts we may consider that the Royal Galleries Walks were above 60 Cubits Broad with their Pillars And although That south Piazzo were Broader than the Rest yet to make up good Proportions between the outer square of 500 and the Courts within This whose very Area made 333 Cubits as we saw before besides their Walls we need not doubt Their Truth who limit the space between these Courts by 66 cubits And 66 Hours besides all we saw before in the Course of the Moon bring us to the Noon of the 3d Day as we are going to the 3d Wall and added to the 14 before they want but 4 of 84 the great Number we saw of 3 Days and Half for Hiding of the Witnesses As the Sun and Moon did not appear till 3 Dayes and an Half after the Creation the 84th Hour or Morning of the 4th Day And 84 Dayes make up just 3 Months or 12 whole Weeks And when the Womans first 14 Dayes were over for her Daughter yet she must tarry 66 more before she might come out of the Gentile or Unclean Court to Any Holy Place of Israel As for a Manchilde 40 Dayes As Israels 40 years in the Wilderness for Israel my son my First born And the very Day of Pentecost or Biccurim the First-fruits of Holyness to God Closed the 65th and broughtin the 66th Day of the Year So the 66th year after the Temple so begun in Darius Hystasp or 80 from That of Cyrus brings up Ezra in the 7th of Artaxerxes Long As Josephus and so many others And that there were just 490 Years from This 7th of Artaxerxes to our Saviours Death is so cleared by the Great Capellus and divers others that Helvi●us himself yeeldeth they were praecise 490 Years although he begin them rather from the next Darius to the Roman Sack which yet is due to the Infinite Wisdom of God so ordering that the 70 Weeks may either End with the Temple from the 2d of Darius Noth Or with our Saviour the True Temple from the 7th of Artaxerxes where I rather fix for all the Harmonies we have and are to see And that from Cyrus taking Babylon to Artaxerxes 7th there were just 80 Years is so cleared by the Old Canon and Eclipses also recorded by divers of those times as we may see in Lansbergius Vranometry and Chronology with the great Petavius though so great an Enemy to Scaliger who must not Dye for all his faults that I yet know not what may be said against it The main difference in Helvicus or any I remember being in giving Cyrus Only 3 years as Daniel nameth 3 and yet it may be 3 times 3 before Babylon when as his very Works and Wars may shew us divers more as Lively and others Evince although they had not Ptolomies Canon as now published such a Pillar of Times next the Holy Scripture And that Daniel also might be led to Ezraes Times with Nehemiah I might cite his Naming Ezra in That some read They shall be Helped with a little Help Or Ezra But if That rather speak of the Times after Ezra yet his very words of Returning to build Jerusalem Asib and Tasib may be found in Eliasib God shall return begining to build or repair the sheep-gate as his proper cure Being High Priest As Jehoiada the Old Gate and next the men of Gibeon cursed Gibeon and of Mispa to the Throne of the Governour Which may be more considered with 1000 cubits between the Dung-Gate built by Malchiah the Lord the King and the Valley-Gate Repaired by Hannun He that is Gracious which may give us the Site of Jerusalem with many other things of those Times And that the Prophet Jeremy also spake of those Times and of their Returning to Build is plain by comparing his words with the Dedication of the Wall when they Sought for All the Levites to purifie themselves and the People and the Gates and the Walls also as Neh. 12 when All the Princes were upon the Wall and parted to the Dung-gate on the Right Hand when Nehemiah himself the Lords Comforter went After the other company that were sent to the Left Hand when also they came singing from Gilgal where he rouled away the shame of Israel by Circumcising them that were Baptised already to Moses also in the Cloud and in the Sea Through which Our Fathers passed as St Paul to the Gentile Corinthians to be considered by them that deny Baptism to Children and from strong Death Azmaveth and Netopheti which yet I render not My Patients in Tophet though it be near that sound in Hebrew And the High Priest himself Eliasib God will return Sanctifying Tophet or Gehinnon or the Valley of Dead bodies or Ashes the places in That Prophet named as we saw before and joyned with the Places named Here and the Tower of Hananeel which was also sanctified by this High Priest as we read in Neh. 3. to be compared with the 12th and Jeremy 31. Adding also that It should no more be plucked up for ever Which we may consider But again to the Temple-Courts which may yet lead us to the City also ere long I hope and the New Jerusalem That perfect Cube As the Most Holy Oracle of which again The Suburbs of the Holy Courts were called Hell for so in Proper names the English use to sound the Hebrew Heth by H and so 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 is Hel. As if none could go to Heaven but through Hell as its Suburbs And as if Hell were onely or Mainly for Israel or Children of the Kingdom For None other might go through it or come into it but with a Sacrifice as we touched before Yet if any will sound it rather by Chel it may suit the English Kill and Kell for a Brick-Kill and a Lime-Kill and a Kell for drying Malt c. The Phrase of 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 is never used that I remember till the Lamentations as we saw before But the Thing is agreed to be as a Gulf of Partition between Israel and the Gentiles that might onely look through its Grates or Lattisses behinde Our Wall as the Spouse speaketh most properly as being so near the Womens Court Made or at least Setled by Ezra himself comming up just at the Year or Cubit where this Court began And making it his great work to Separate the Jewes from the Gentiles as we see Ezra 9. and 10. And the 2d of Chronicles written by Him they say or about His Times as may be clear enough giveth the very Name of Azra or Aezra

How near to Love in Hebrew There they Fast and Pray and seek a way for Themselves and for their Little Ones For he was ashamed to ask of the King because he had spoken saying The Hand of our God is on All for Good that Seek him Davids dying words to Solomon but his Power and Wrath on All that for sake him We are now come to one of the hardest Knots of Time Daniels Weeks And though it may not be so easie to fix Their beginning Or their End as it is their Number of 490 that is 7 times 70 years Yet for an Essay as God shall enable us Esay saith of Cyrus He is my Shepherd and shall perform All my Pleasure Saying to Ierusalem Thou shalt be Built and to the Temple Thy Foundations only shall be laid And in 45. He shall Build My City and let go My Captives And Ezra 4. 12. Be it known unto the King that the Iewes are come from Thee to Ierusalem Building the Rebellious City c. And the King returned Cause the men to cease from Building the City Or that it be no more Built till farther Order So the work ceased till the 2d of Darius Then stood up Haggai saying Is it time for you to dwell in Cieled Houses and This House lie waste And again Verse 9. Ye run every man unto his own House This was the First of the 6th Month and Then They came and wrought in the 24th of that Month but so slowly that he spake again on the 21st of the Seventh Monrh the Last and Great Day of Tabernacles and again on the 24th of the 9th Month And now I pray consider from this Day and Upward from before a Stone was laid upon a Stone in the Temple of the Lord But consider now from This Day and Upward from the 24th of the 9th Month from the Day the Foundation of the Lords Temple was Laid c. By which it seems plain enough that They had leave to build the City and had Will enough to Build it and to Ciel their own Houses rather and much sooner than the Lords Which by Esayes words was onely to be Founded by Cyrus when Jerusalem should be Built And so Ezra found it plain enough and Nehemiah was told indeed that the Remnant of the Captivity were in great affliction and Reproach and that the Wall of Ierusalem was broken down and the Gates burnt with Fire Which yet may seem some Later matter then That Sack in Zedekiah which sure was known enough to Nehemiah That he needed not be told of That But now he heard some late or New affliction and Reproach upon the Remnant that had built the City up again after their Return And when Himself came up He did but onely Repair the Walls and set up the Gates And There also the men of Iericho repaired next to the Very High Priest Of so great repute was Iericho the cursed City even in Those dayes and Returning from Babylon also being as the Iewes say the 2d to Ierusalem Or as the Moon as it soundeth to the Sun Yea some observe that in the very Hebrew Letters of Ierusalem there only wanteth 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 of All in Iericho and Salem its first Name It may not therefore be said but That Cyrus also gave forth a Word to Return and Build Ierusalem as we read in Daniels Weeks Which were given out to Him in the very first Year of Darius the Mede which seemeth also the First of Cyrus the Persian though not in Babylon and at the very beginning of his Prayer the Word went out as the Angel tells him Verse 23. with the very same Phrase in the 25th From the Going sorth of the Word to Return and Build Ierusalem But the Phrase Motsa doth not onely note the first Going out of a Word or Thing but a Continued Motion and going on or growing up or constant flowing As in a Spring of Water Esay 58. the growing up of the Grass Job 38. Or a Mine of silver or other Mettal Job 27. Or Sun-Rising and going forward Psal. 19. Or the East it self Psal. 75. And His going is prepared as the Morning we found in Hoseah And his Goings forth from Eternity the Dayes of Old in Micha Where we still read the same Phrase and in many other places So that Here also in Daniel we may not tye it up to the First word of Cyrus or any other to return or build but to the Whole Matter as Dabar signifies as well as a Word or Command or full Process and Progress of That Business with All its full Execution which is Motsa also the End Issue or finishing of a Matter as well as its first going out So that if the Word or Command of Cyrus were in Doing or delaying very many Years yet it was still so going forth and going up as the Sun from East to West And so Cyrus may signifie in the Persian or in Hebrew also being a Vessel of Fire as the sun is or at least seemeth And there is a famous Record of Cyrus seeing the Sun at his Beds Feet as Joseph and others perhaps have seen it as Bowing or coming towards And his Catching at it Thrice was Thrice 10 Years they said of his Reign And the Sun also was the Persian Armes or God And the Prophet brings him up from the East like the Suns Rayes upon the Temple and Jerusalem And though the Sun stood still for one whole Day in Josuah and went backward in Hezekiah So that some that had fixed Nabonasses Era in Babylon came to enquire of That VVonder 2 Chron. 32. 31. yet it went forward again and got ground perhaps by staying So did Cyrus also For Darius did but Build on Cyrus Foundation and the Decree of Cyrus So that it may be said of Him as of Zerubbabel His Hand began and His Hand finished And I will make thee a signet on my Hand also for I have Chosen thee As I threatned to Cast off thy Grand-Father Though a signet on my Right Hand How long this City or this Temple should be in Building by That Decree may be very hard to determine from the Scripture which yet must determine All great matters of Faith and Doctrine and other things also of great moment before we can much rest and be confident in them Which is One of many things I so much love in the Chain of Scripture Chronology by T. A. So industrious in clearing Scripture which I am loath to leave in This or any thing else in which we differ But for This also by Scripture That Israel and Judah those two VVitnesses were now slain or lay as Dead in That Captivity and that Judah returned but in Childe-bed and newly Delivered Is so clear from Mich. 4. 10. that it needeth little other proof And but of a Daughter the Daughter of Zion For the Man-childe was not yet Born Though before she Travelled her last Thraws she must bring forth a Man-childe
