the
determination

clearly

upon

are

But
the

speak

the
restauration
out

do
mystically
imply

under
figures
describe
the
restauration
out

There
is
no
interpretation
of
any
passage
in
this

could
seem
so
harsh
,

I
would
be
content
to
admit
it
,
rather

yeeld
that

I
am
perswaded
that
the

the
Gospel
,

from
them
the

took
it
,
had
no
other
place
of
Scripture
,

they
did
,

could
ascribe
the

of
Christ

unto
him

looked

probable
it

,
for

of

was
some
time
after
that
Story
makes
appear
)
that
the
Decree
came
forth
;
which
may
therefore
possibly
,
and
most
likely
,
if
we
throughly
weigh
the
whole
of
Vision
,
be
in
that
eleventh
Month
he
mentions
,
and
being
so
,
but
a
month
and
a
few
days
are
wanting
of
a
compleat
year
,
which
little
want
,
where
the
account
is
by
years
,
is
never
reckoned

)
Now
hence
the
Objection
riseth
;
If
seventy
years
be
alotted
to
this
time
(
which
our
opinion
grants
)
then
must
the
age
of
some
persons
,
those
who
had
seen
Temple
,
and
were
alive
at
this
day
,
as
be
no
lesse
then
one
hundred
and
thirty
years
;
for
suppose
them
to
be
sixty
years
old
in
to
which
sixty
,
adding
these
seventy
,
we
have
the
aforesaid
number
;
which
age
seems
to
be
too
great
for
the
generations
since
his
time
Judas
Maccabeus
Darius
Nothus
Zerubbabel
,
Jeshua
I
have
met
with
it
objected
,
That
the
time
from
first
,
to
the
end
of
second
,
could
not
be
very
long
,
because
no
Priest
was
by
the
Law
to
officiate
above
twenty
years
;
from
thirty
years
old
to
fifty
was
their
limited
time
,
&c.
now
was
High
Priest
in
first
,
and
so
likewise
in
second
,
the
distance
therefore
could
not
be
great
,
no
not
twenty
years
.
The
time
therefore
from
the
beginning
of
first
,
unto
the
end
of
second
,
may
well
bee
reckoned
seventy
years
,
notwithstanding
the
weight
of
any
objection
against
it
.
That
that
who
advanced
the
work
of
the
Temple
,
did
reign
at
such
a
distance
from
these
seventy
years
are
to
be
reckoned
from
the
first
of
from
the
beginning
of
which
year
untill
the
end
of
are
reckoned
by
the
Historians
exactly
seventy
years
,
as
I
have
before
observed
,
and
so
indeed
these
seventy
years
are
not
the
seventy
years
of
the
Captivity
,
but
another
seventy
,
taking
beginning
where
they
end
?
But
if
so
,
why
doth
the
Angel
plead
Gods
having
had
indignation
against
his
people
threescore
and
ten
years
?
he
might
have
pleaded
twice
threescore
and
ten
years
.
How

?
But
if
this
opinion
be
true
,
why
also
are

of
the

,
and
the
fifth
,
and
the
seventh

and

seeing
from
the
time
was

which
things
are

,
it
was
now
to

we
account
it

hundred
and
twenty
years
,
viz.
fifty
in
and
the

were
destroyed
,
and
seventy

the
coming

?
If
it
be
said
,
Though
the
thing
were
publique
,
as
to
the
that
is
,
the
whole
Body
of
that

might
