1Philip Melanchthon, as in all liberal sciences singularly studied, so through wonderful travail in the careful conference of histories achieving a more ripe and sound judgement, setteth down a double order of reckoning: in the one whereof he numbereth the weeks to begin in the reign of Cyrus, and so until the birth of Christ: in the other he taketh the original of the weeks in the time of Longimanus, & so proceedeth unto the time of Christs death & resurrection, yielding herein to the judgement of the learned, to make their choice, whether of them they list to approve. But Jo. Calvin seemeth to allow neither of them,2 induced as it seemeth with this reason, that the beginning of the computation ought not to enter ⟨image 74⟩in the reign of Longimanus, nor y• end thereof to be determined at the birth of Christ, as he supposeth: which thing truly is very well noted by Jo. Calvin, according to the singular dexterity of his learning and capacity.
