The harmony of the Old and New Testament and the obscure texts explained with a relation especially to the times that preceded Christ and how they meet in him, his genealogie and other mysteries preparatory to his first coming / written in French by John d'Espagne ... ; and published in English by his executor.

From the closing of the History of the Old Testament, to the destruction of the second Temple, which was the sup∣pression of the service there∣of, there passed the tenth part of the age of the world, after the tenth Prophetical year.

WE have seen, that the History of the Old Testament ended when the Kingdom of the Persians was hastning to its period; this came to pass in the year 3600, which was also the end of the tenth Prophetical year. Now from that time to the destruction of the second Temple, in the 4000 year of the world, there passed 400 years, the tenth of the age the world had then continu'd from the Creation. And forasmuch as that destruction hapned forty years after the death of Christ, we see these forty years were the tenth of the 400 which had run after the History of the Old Testament was finished, as these 400 were the tenth of the 4000 which were fulfilled at the ruine of the second Tem∣ple.
