§ 5 It is generally agreed by all Historians and Chronologers, that Cyrus began his Reign ⟨p. 187⟩over Persia, in the first year of the fifty fifth Olympiad; probably the same year that Nab•nidus, or Darius Medus began his reign over Babylon. And this was the year wherein Daniel set himself solemnly to seek the Lord for the delivery of the people out of Captivity, He being now come to a Kingdom who was so long before prophesied of to be their deliverer, Dan. 9.1. In the twenty seventh year of his reign, or the first of the sixty second, Olympiad, having conquered the Babylonian Empire, he began the first year of his Monarchical reign, from whence Daniel reckons his third, which was his last, Chap. 10.1. And therein he proclaimed liberty unto the people of the Jews, to return to Jerusalem, and to build the Temple, Ezra 1.1. The City and Temple were destroyed by Titus, in the third year of the eleventh Olympiad; now from the first year of the sixty second Olympiad, unto the third of the two hundred and eleventh Olympiad inclusive, are five hundred ninety nine years, and within that space of time are we to enquire after, and find the four hundred and ninety years here prophesied of, and foretold.
