There are ſome who begin theſe years at Jeroboam's ſetting up the Calves at Dan and Bethel when the Ten Tribes became Idolatrous, and end them at the deſtruction of Jeruſalem, and they include the houſe of Iſrael in the houſe of Judah, becauſe many of them joined themſelves to them, and theſe the Prophet ſeems to mean by the houſe of Iſrael, including alſo their predeceſſors, who were dead long before. p. 638. l. 29. r. This I find to be the opinion of the learned Willet, and followed by Mr. Allein in his Chronology. But for my part I cannot ſee that there were above twenty years from the laying the foundation of the Temple to the finiſhing of it as we have ſhewed pag. 650. Some learned men begin theſe ſeven weeks or 49 years at Cyrus's decree, and end them when the walls of Jeruſalem were finiſhed by Nehemiah; which interval of time they make 49 years. But the holy Scripture having not ſet down expreſly the number of the years of the Kings of Perſia, and profane Authors differing ſo much about them, 'tis a difficult thing to determine any thing certainly in this matter.
If any Errors have happened in the Continuation of this Hiſtory, the Reader is deſired to mend them with his pen, the Author not having had time to read thoſe ſheets over.
