40. Quest. That Origens account can not stand, beginning the 70. weekes at Adam, and ending them in the destruction of Ierusalem.

1. Origen to make this account good, taketh euery weeke for 70. yeares, to euery day of the prophe••icall weeke allowing tenne yeares: but no where in the Scripture is a weeke so taken, but either for a weeke of daies, or for a weeke of yeares. 2. This whole summe ac∣cording to his account, taking euery weeke for 70. yeares, will amount to 4900. yeares: but the whole time from the first to the second Adam, is not much aboue 4000. yeares, not yet so much in some account: so that this time, according to Origens supputation, will exceede the time of the Messiah almost 900. yeares. 3. It is euident that these 70. weekes must be∣ginne at such time, as the word went forth to build againe Ierusalem and the Temple; they must not then take beginning so long before. 4. Neither are they to be extended vnto the destriction of Ierusalem, as shall be shewed, when we come to examine the seuerall opini∣ons, for the ende of these 70. weekes.
