Lastly, Some things to this intent are deduced from holy Scripture; thus is the year of _Jubile_ introduced to magnifie this number, as being a year made out of 7 times 7; wherein notwithstanding there may be a misapprehension; for this ariseth not from 7 times 7, that is, 49; but was observed the fiftieth year, as is expressed, [SN: Levit. 25.] And you shall hallow the fiftieth year, a _Jubile_ shall that fiftieth year be unto you. Answerable whereto is the Exposition of the _Jews_ themselves, as is delivered by _Ben-Maimon_; that is, the year of _Jubile_, cometh not into the account of the years of 7, but the fourty ninth is the Release, and the fiftieth the year of _Jubile_. Thus is it also esteemed no small advancement unto this number, that the Genealogy of our Saviour is summed up by 14, that is, this number doubled; according as is expressed. [SN: Mat. 1.] So all the generations from _Abraham_ to _David_ are fourteen generations, and from _David_ unto the carrying away into _Babylon_, are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into _Babylon_ unto _Christ_, are fourteen generations. Which nevertheless must not be strictly understood as numeral relations require; for from _David_ unto _Jeconiah_ are accounted by _Matthew_ but 14 generations; whereas according to the exact account in the History of Kings, there were at least 17; and 3 in this account, that is, _Ahazias_, _Joas_ and _Amazias_ are left out. For so it is delivered by the Evangelist: And _Joram_ begat _Ozias_: whereas in the regal Genealogy there are 3 successions between: for _Ozias_ or _Uzziah_ was the son of _Amazias_, _Amazias_ of _Joas_, _Joas_ of _Azariah_, and _Azariah_ of _Joram_: so that in strict account, _Joram_ was the _Abavus_ or Grand-father twice removed, and not the Father of _Ozias_. And these second omitted descents made a very considerable measure of time, in the Royal chronology of _Judah_: for though _Azariah_ reigned but one year, yet _Joas_ reigned fourty, and _Amazias_ no less then nine and twenty. However therefore these were delivered by the Evangelist, and carry (no doubt) an incontroulable conformity unto the intention of his delivery: yet are they not appliable unto precise numerality, nor strictly to be drawn unto the rigid test of numbers.
