I aunswere that as you willingly acknowledge one trueth; so do ye vnwittingly erre about another trueth. For 475. yeres after the course of the Sunne, doe make 490. yeares abridged after the course of the Moone. Of which abridged yeares doth the prophet Daniel speake, as Aphricanus, Beda, and Mari∣nus Scotus, haue skilfully obserued. Yea, the Prophets expresse wordes will effectually make good this exposition. I prooue it out of the originall Hebrew text, which telleth vs that ye weeks, whereof mention is made in Daniel, be not vsuall weekes, but weekes abridged:* 1.1 For 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 in Niphal signifieth cut off or a∣bridged, and the roote 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 in kal whereof it descendeth, fig∣fieth aswel to cut off or abridge, as to determine: and therefore hath the olde Latine interpreter, well translated it in this ma∣ner; Septuaginta hebdomades abbreuiatae sunt super populum tuum. Seuentie weekes are abridged vppon thy people.

Loe, the weekes which the angell came to expound, are not to be vnderstoode of yeres after our vsuall supputation and course of the sunne, but of shorter yeres, after the course of the moone: for this respect significantly writeth Marianus in these words, Sed notandum est, quòd non simpliciter sed breuiter dixit compu∣tatas, id est, breuiores solitis annis: but wee must note that hee saide not, reckoned simply, but briefly, that is, shorter then the vsuall yeeres.
