Ye men and Hebrews, you hear in this prophecy many strange & wonderful things, which do convince your errors very singularly. First, where he sayeth that your Messiah shall come whiles your common wealth flori•heth in most prosperous estate. If this be true, what hope induceth you to believe that your Messiah shall come now, your common wealth being utterly defaced and scattered? Then, mention is made of the benefits of your Messiah, wherein is foreshowed that he shall be slain, yea, the time also wherein he shall be slain, is expressly set down. And ⟨image 72⟩after threescore two weeks (sayeth he) Messiah shall be cut of *Veëin lo. And first herein the Jews do agree together with us, that these weeks are not to be numbered by limitation of days, but of years.
