Quest.
If any please to demand upon what information these Greeks did come out of heathen Countries to worship at this Feast of the Jewes, and also to see Jesus in expectation that the time of his death was now come.
The covenant of nature made with Adam described and cleared from sundry great mistakes. And thereby proving, I. That the kind of death that was threatned in that covenant, in Gen. 2.17. ought not to be understood of any other kind of death but of a double spiritual death, 1. By depriving Adam of Gods concreated image: and 2. By corruption of nature that followed thereupon. II. Proving that the said covenant was totally extinguished and made utterly null, as soon as Adam had but tasted of the forbidden fruit, and received the said threatned punishment. III. Expounding Gal. 3.10. and proving that the curse therein threatned must not be understood of the curse of the said covenant of nature, but of that curse that is threatned in the covenant of grace to the fallen posterity of Adam, for their not doing of Moses law by faith in Christ, which was given to them for the covenant of grace and reconciliation only. ... VIII. Expounding Rom. 8.1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 6, 8. in ch. 25. By William Pynchon.

Answ. The Answer is, They were directed thereunto by no other means, but by the account which they kept of Daniel's Seventy-Sevens of years; and it was in that respect, that they took the opportunity to come to this Feast, both to worship God in Temple, and also to see Jesus before his death; for they being either Greeks, Jewes or Pproselytes that lived in Synagouges with the Jews, they might well know the hour of Daniel's Seventy-Sevens, when the Messias should make reconciliation for unrighteousness, and bring in an everlasting Righteousness instead of the Ceremonial, to all believing sinners, by his death and sacrifice.
From the seand such like Scriptures, it will be evident to all that love the truth of the Scripture-Chronology before the lying Chronology of humane Writers, that Daniel's Seventy-Seven of years is not a certain number put for an un∣certain, but that it is a most exact account of time from the time of Daniel's prayer, (at the time of the Evening-Oblation) unto the death of Christ, which he also finished at the ninth hour, or at the hour of the Evening-oblation.
