Ierom says he has seen a Copy The Greater Prophets XXVII Isaiah of these is the Chief and most Excellent He himself has collected into one Volume all the Prophecies he made under the several Reigns of Osias Ioathan Ahaz Ezechias and even to the time of Manasses by whose Command according to the Tradition of the Iews he was cruelly Saw'd asunder with a wooden Saw XXVIII Ieremiah Prophecy'd for 45 Years to wit from the third Year of King Iosias to the fifth after the Taking of Ierusalem and Destruction of the Temple that is to say from the Year of the World 3375. to 3420. and 584 Years before the Birth of Christ. He was of the Sacerdotal Race He always declar'd after an undaunted manner against the Irregularities of his Time His Style according to S. Ierom is Mean as to Words but Majestick in its Thought The Prophet Baruch was his Secretary who in Collecting the several Prophecies which Ieremiah has made upon divers Occasions observ'd no order of Time This Holy Prophet was Ston'd by some impious Iews in Egypt who were not able to bear with the freedom of his Admonitions XXIX Baruch was Secretary and Disciple to Ieremiah which does not hinder but he might be of Noble Birth as Iosephus says he was He says himself that he wrote this Book of Prophesies in Babylon but it is not exactly known at what time XXX Ezechiel of the Sacerdotal Race was Transported under Iechonias into Babylon where he began to Prophesie the fifth Year after his Captivity His Book is all over full of Riddles and Figures and which 't is thought he affected to the end that the Caldeans might not be acquainted with the condition of Affairs among the Iews He foretold the Deliverance of this People the Reign of Messias the Calling of the Gentiles the establishing of the Church its Victories and the Downfall of its opposers XXXI Daniel descended of a Royal Stock was carried when but an Infant a Captive into Babylon by Nebuchodonozor He was Educated in the Learning of the Caldees for 3 Years It was about this time that he deliver'd Susanna accus'd by the two Vicious Elders and that but a little after he began to Prophesie The Iews will not allow him a place among the Prophets because say they he liv'd in the Babylonish Court rather like a Courtier than a Person inspir'd by God nevertheless Iesus Christ himself stiles him a Prophet The Twelve Minor Prophets XXXII Hoseas writ all the Prophesies that go under his Name S. Ierom finds his Style Pathetic and Sententious He Prophesied under 4 Kings viz. Iosiah Ioathan Ahaz and Hezechias In his Prophecies he takes upon himself the Person of God He quarrels with punishes and repudiates the Synagogue which he represents as if taken in Adultery and places the Church in its stead Thus he foretels 1. The Reprobation of the Synagogue and the Calling of the Church 2. He reproves Idolatry and the other Crimes of the Israelites And 3. He promises Mercy and Salvation to all such as shall be reclaim'd XXXIII Ioel. It is no easie matter to find out what time he Prophesied He foretels the Destruction of Ierusalem and under the Symbol of that City he speaks of the Destruction of the whole World and the last Judgment XXXIV Amos was a Shepherd or Herdsman of Tecoa a poor Town God who never makes use of slender Abilities chose this Person for a Prophet in the Time of Iosias King of Iuda and Ieroboam Son of Ioas King of Israel two Years before that Earthquake which hapned towards the 23d Year of Iosias's Reign about the Year of the World 3216. and 788 Years before the Birth of Christ.

Book of Kings Chapter the 18. and Verse 4. who was Governor of Ahabs House and who nourish'd the hundred Prophets in a Cave Of all the Prophets his Prophecy is the shortest altho' for the Mysteries it contains it yeilds in nothing to the others Prophecies says S. Ierom. XXXVI Ionas whom God sent to Niniveh to Preach Repentance not unlikely under the Reign of Phul which we believe to be Father of Sardanapalus about the Year of the World 3197. and 807 Years before the Birth of Christ. He was the only Prophet that God sent among the Gentiles He himself was Author of the Account of his Mission to Nineveh He was Native of Geth-Checher a Town belonging to the Tribe of Zabulon in Galilee This shews either the Ignorance or Malice of the Pharisees when they said to Nicodemus Art thou also of Galilee Search and look for there was never any Prophet came out of those Parts John 7.52 XXXVII Micah Prophesied under the Reign of Ioathan Ahaz and Hezechias He has the Character of Wit and Style like to that of Isaias He inveys vehemently against the Idolatry as well of the Two as the Ten Tribes He proclaims the Ruin of Samaria and the Captivity of those of Ierusalem by the Assyrians and Caldeans and he also foretels their deliverance and that Christ shall be born in Bethlem XXXVIII Nahum whose Country is unknown foretels the Destruction of Nineveh by the Caldeans because that People had persecuted the People of God It is likewise a little uncertain where he Prophesied XXXIX Habakkuk Neither his Country nor the time when he Prophesied is known There would be no great difficulty to know the time providing this Habakkuk were the same that the Angel carry'd by the Hair of the Head to Daniel's Den but which the Learned will by no means have to be XL. Zephania Illustrious by his Birth was of the Tribe of Simeon He liv'd at the same time with Ieremiah whose Works he seems to have Abridg'd especially considering his conformity of Style He speaks plainly of the Calling of the Gentiles the Foundation of the Church the Remission of Sins of Sanctification and Eternal Salvation by Iesus Christ. XLI Haggai earnestly exhorts the People of God to the building of the Temple He complains of the Iews neglect therein and promises Zorobabel who undertook that Work after it had been basely forsaken that the Messiah should be born of his Race XLII Zachariah liv'd in the time of Haggai and he also sollicited the re-building of the Temple He is full of Enigmas and Figures he speaks nevertheless very plainly of the coming of Christ and of his Life and Passion

Kings No body knows whether these Dynasties which some look upon as Successive and which they range one after another be not most of them Collateral and of the same time or no. Diodorus Siculus says upon his Honour that for all the Care and Pains he took in consulting the Priests of Egypt about their Antiquities yet he could find nothing in them but what was very dubious and uncertain and that whatever has been published of Egypt before the taking of Troy might very well be reckoned as Fabulous What Credit then can we give to what the Greek Historians have related from the Egyptian Priests with whom it was very common to extol the Grandeur and Antiquity of their Nation by Romantick and surprizing Relations Shall we believe them when they confidently tell us that the Gods and Demi-Gods reigned in Egypt 34201 years before any Kings reigned there With such Stories as these did the Egyptian Priests amuse Diodorus Siculus when he consulted them about the Antiquity of their Kings In one word it seems very likely that the Egyptian Priests invented those Fabulous Reigns that they might not yield the Glory of their Antiquity to the Chaldeans or Babylonians who assigned several Myriads of Years to their Monarchy There was a kind of Emulation upon this Point between these two Nations which inclined their Historians to invent several Successions of Imaginary Kings This Emulation is what is very real the Signs whereof are very visible in the Writings of the Ancients Wherefore all that can be said of the first Government of Egypt with any certainty is that C ham the Son of Noah having planted it govern'd this Land for about 160 years and was succeeded by Mizraim otherwise called Osiris after whom a great number of Kings are named but with such a mixture of Fable that we shall not trouble our selves or the World with a frivolous Account to their Dynasties which Manetho would have us believe were 17 before Thetmosis or Amasis their first known King We shall omit likewise to speak of their State under their unknown Kings or under those who were stiled The Shepherd Kings and will begin our Account of Egypt with Thetmosis or Amasis who began to reign in the year of the World 2207 from whom we shall continue the Succession down to Cleopatra's Death when it became a Roman Province which happened about the year 3920.
