LXXIV.

French.

An revolu du grand nombre septiesme,

Apparoistra au temps jeux d’Hecatombe,

Non esloignez du grand age milliesme,

Que les entrez sortiront de leur Tombe.

English.

The year of the great number seven being past,

Shall be seen at that time the sports of Hecatombe,

Not far from the great age thousand,

That the Buried shall come out of their Graves.

ANNOT.

Hecatombe signifieth a Sacrifice, wherein a hundred beasts were killed.

The sense therefore is this, that when the year a thousand seven hundred is past, that such sport of Hecatombe shall be seen again, not far from the sixth Millenary, when the day shall rise, for it is a common opinion among the Learned, that as God Created the World in six days, and rested the seventh, so when the World hath lasted six thousand years, for a thousand years before God are as one day, there shall be an Eternal Sabbath and a Resurrection, both of the just and unjust.
