THe second Temple was destroyed in the year 4000, the last 400 of that
sum were the tenth part of it. These last 400 years did begin when the year 3600 ended; now the year 3600 ended the Hi∣story of the Old Testament, and the tenth Prophetical year. Thus these last 400 years began at the close of the Hi∣story of the old Testament, and ended by the suppression of the Ceremonies of the Old Testament in the destruction of the second Temple; and these last 400 years were the tenth of the age of the world when the Temple was destroyed.
Again, these last 400 years were de∣cimated; for their tenth and last part, which was of forty years, began at the death of Christ, and ended in the de∣struction of the Temple.
