THESIS LXIII.

The Harmony that is betwixt all those Mystical Num∣bers we have passed through, is a thing very glorious and admirable to behold; for there is not any one of them, but affords a beam of light to the other. The 1290 dayes affords a great beam of light to the 1260, and contrari∣wise the 1260 to that again: The 1335 dayes affords a glorious beam of light to the 2300, and contrariwise, the 2300 to that again.

Finally, as the beginning of the 1260, proves our be∣ginning of the 1335 to be true, so our beginning of the 1335, proves the beginning of the 2300 to be true. And contrariwise, as the beginning of the 2300 proves the beginning of the 1335 to be true; so the beginning of the 1335, the beginning of the 1260 to be true. So that (which is glorious to consider) the Mystical Numbers of Daniel and the Revelations, though di∣verse, and having diverse beginnings, yet have within themselves such an universal Harmony, that each one serves to inlighten the other, and the other him again.
