VVE have already said, that the Prophetical year is of 360
Solary years; now six times 360 years make up 2160 years: so the year of the Creation 2160 ended the sixth Prophe∣tical year. But the Promise was given in the year 2083. which was 77 years before the Prophetical year expired; when that ended, the Promise was 77 years of date. This term of time, otherwise considerable, meeting at the end of such a Prophetical period, did shew to that Patriarch a no∣table concurrence of time.
There was another at the end of the seventh Prophetical year, for it ended with the year 2520, as 'tis easie to be computed. Now the year 2520 was the seventh after the coming out of Egypt; for the Israelites came out of it to go in∣to the Wilderness in the year 2513, so the seventh year of their abode in the Wil∣derness, was the last of the seventh Pro∣phetical year. Therefore, as the sixth Pro∣phetical year expired in the 77 year since the Promise, so the seventh Prophe∣tical year ended in the 7 year after the coming out from Egypt.
