The Trauels of the Prophet Daniel.

DAniel signifies, The Iudge of God. In the raigne of Ioachim King of Iudah, he was carried away captiue from Ierusalem to Babylon, by Nabuchadonezar, which was 680 miles, and there with his fellowes learned the Arts and Language of the Chaldaeans, for three yeares. He was then but young, about some 19 or 20 yeares of age, and liued in exile 91 yeares, vntill the third yeare of Cyrus Emperour of the Persians; about which time he saw his last vision, and a little after died, when hee was about 110 yeares of age, as may be gathered by the circumstances of Histories and times.

From Babylon he went to Susan in Persia, an. mun. 3418, before Christ, 550, being then 94 yeares of age, which was 252 miles, where neere to the flood Eulaeus, hee had a vision of a ram and a goate; which set forth the state of the second Monarchie (which was that of the Graecians.) In this vision Gabriel the Archangel, appeared to Daniel, Dan. 8. This was in the third yeare of King Balthasar.

From Susan Daniel returned to Babylon, which was 252 miles; Here hee interpreted to Belthasar the meaning of these words, Men, Mene, Tekel Euphrasin, Dan. 5.

From Babylon he went to the riuer Tygris of Hidekel, which was accounted 36 miles: here in the third yeare of Cyrus King of Persia, he saw his last vision, which is described in the 10, 11, and 12 chapters of his prophecie.

From Tygris, he returned to his own house at Babylon, which was 36 miles. Sometimes also in his three last yeares of his life, he vsed to goe to Egbatan, the Metropolitan citie of the Medes, which was accounted 464 miles from Babylon, towards the Northeast: Here Daniel built a faire and artificiall Temple, so strongly, that it remained vnperished, and retained the ancient beautie many ages, to the great admiration of all the spectators: In it the Kings of the Medes, Persians, and Parthians, were for the most part honourably buried: the gouernement whereof was

committed to a Priest of the Iewes, as Iosephus saith, lib. Antiq. 10. cap. 4.

From Egbatan, he returned backe againe to Babylon, which was 464 miles, and there died anno mun. ••445, and before Christ, 533. So all the trauels of the Prophet Daniel were 2184 miles,
