of 360 days to a Year is the very Year of Reckoning in this Prophecy forafmuch as by it, and by it only is to be found the number giv'n in the Prophecy of 483 Years between the two terms of the beginning and ending of the 7 Weeks, and threefore and two Weeks as therein exprefly and precifely determined for this grand Event before us of the cutting off of the Meffiah.

But for farther Satisfaction of the Reader in this important point I fhall give it a particular confideration; wherein I fhall endeavour to prove that the Computation of time in this Prophecy muft neceffarily be according to this form of Year. And this as it may defervedly be the fubject of a distinct Chapter, I shall accordingly make it fo in that which follows, after that I have now here in the first place in the End of this Chapter giv'n the Computation it self by the faid Year adjufted with the Years, as well thofe of the Jul. Period, as thofe of King's Reigns according to PTOLEMY's Canon.

DANIEL'S LXX Weeks, or 483 Years are adjusted with their concurrent Julian Tears, and with the Tears of Kings Reigns in Ptolemy's Canon: By which particular Calculation it is diftinctly fhewn how the MESSIAH was CUT OFF, or CHRIST Our PASSOVER was facrificed for us,at the PASSOVER next immediately following after the Expiration of the 7 Weeks and fixty-two Weeks of this Prophecy: As the faid Weeks are reckon'd from the Going forth of the COMMANDMENT to rebuild Jerufalem in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes Longimanus King of Perfia.

* In the 20th year of K, Artaxerxes, Nehemiah came up to Jerusalem, Neh, ii. 1,6.

In his 32d year he returned to the King, Neh. xiii. 5. And after that he came back to ferufalem, and did thofe things which follow in his Book.

NB. Whereas the Years of Daniel in this Column for the general part of them end on December the 31ft, yet this doth not by reafon that the first Day of January begins it and confequently it borrowing no fupernumerary days from the preceding Year, as that ended on December the 31ft, thence it cometh to pafs that the twenty fecond, and twenty third of Daniel's 483 Years now before us do both of them run into the four hundred and twenty fourth Julian Tear in Col. C. So again in the Year before Chrift 356, and other Years also therefore noted in leffer figures,
