HERE is another Expression of the Service of Christ, viz. to give Notice of the acceptable Year of the Lord. This seems to be an Allusion to the Proclaiming of the Year of Jubilee, spoken of, Lev. 25.9. Then thou shalt cause the Trumpet of the Jubilee to Sound on the tenth Day of the seventh Month.
Q. What is to be understood by a Year?
A. Sometimes a Year is taken properly for that time wherein the Sun is fulfilling its Course, 365 Days. But sometimes it is taken ⟨p. 185⟩for an indefinite Time, be it longer or shorter. Isai. 34.8. For it is the Day of the Lords Vengeance, and the Year of Vengeance for the Controversy of Zion. So a Day is sometimes taken for an indefinite Time. Isai. 2.12. For the Day of the Lord of Hosts shall be upon every one that is Proud and Lofty.
