§. 2. The age of the world at our Saviours death, resurrection and ascension.

We have shewed elsewhere, that these great things of our Saviours suffering and exal∣tation came to pass in the year of the world 3960 then half passed; or being about the middle. It will be needless to spend time to prove and confirm it here. The summing up these several sums which were as so many links of that chain will make it apparent.

From the Creation to the Flood	1656	Gen. 5. 6, 7. &c.
From the Flood to the Promise to Abra∣ham, Gen. 12.	427	Gen. 11. & 12.
From the Promise to the Delivery from Egypt	430	Exod. 12. 40. Gal. 3. 17.
From the coming out of Egypt to the founding of Solomons Temple	480	1 Kings 6. 1.
From the founding to the finishing of the Temple	7	1 Kings 6. 38.
From finishing the Temple, to the revolt of the ten Tribes	30	1 Kings 6. 38. & 11. 40. compar.
From the revolt of the ten Tribes to the burning of the Temple	390	Ezek. 4. 5, 6.
From the burning of the Temple, to the return from Babel	50	Jer. 25. 11, 12. & 2 Chron. 36. 6. 9, 10. 2 King. 25. 2, 3. presly compar.
From the return from Babel to the death of Christ.	490	Dan. 9. 24, &c.
Total	3960

And hereupon it doth appear, that as the Temple was finished by Solomon, just Anno Mundi 3000. So that it was fired by Titus, just Anno Mundi 4000. Jerusalem being do∣stroyed exactly 40 years after Christs death, as was shewed even now.
