Answ. (1.) The likeness of Phrases and Expressions in setting out different Events agreeing only in some generals, especially in the Predictions that concern Christ and his Church, which is predestinated to be conformed unto him, is so frequent in the Prophecies of the Old Testament, that nothing unto the purpose of this Learned Author, can be concluded from such an Observation concerning these places. (2.) The Christian Church is not intended by the Holy City, Dan. 9. v. 26. but expressly that City, which was to be built upon the Decree of the King of Persia, whose condition was revealed unto Daniel upon his prayer for it, and about it. (3.) It is no wonder that there should be Straits before Desolations, at all seasons of them whatever. (4.) The half week cut off from the rest of the weeks, is not to be three years and an half of Persecution, Tyranny and Triumph; but on the contrary, it is designed for the Confirmation of the Covenant, by the Preaching of the Gospel; so that here is nothing of the parallelism pretended in the places compared.
