Question on Newton's reckoning of biblical new year

Hello -

Can anyone here tell me -- did Isaac Newton see the vernal equinox as
the beginning of the new Biblical year?

Thanks,

Newton used Flamsteed's calendrically driven system in referencing
planetary motion against the stellar background.

"PHENOMENON IV.
That the fixed stars being at rest, the periodic times of the five
primary planets, and (whether of the sun about the earth, or) of the
earth about the sun, are in the sesquiplicate proportion of their mean
distances from the sun."
Isaac Newton

Here is how it looks graphically -

The moral of the story is that when you use a calendrically based
system to explain heliocentric orbital motion be sure to recognise that
there are 365 days in one year and 366 days every fourth year and
therefore the whole thing is worthless.

These guys believe that the Earth rotates in 23 hours 56 minutes and 4
seconds in line with Newton making this era the most spectacularly
astronomically dumb race ever to set foot on the planet -

Thank God most of humanity are protected from this nonsense
