Author
Title
Chronological tables in which are contain'd not only all the chief things of sacred history from the creation of the world 'till Christ's time, but also all other the most remarkeable things of those times that are recorded in any of the antient writers now extant. For the church matters, they, are chiefly collected out of the Holy Scriptures: but not without such additions as are to be had out of Josephus. For other matters, they are taken partly out of Africanus and Georgius Syncellus; and partly out of Eusebius, and St Jerom: not without consulting the most learned Joseph Scaliger; and those most eminent chronologers of our own country, Arch-Bishop Ussher and Sr John Marsham, and Mr Dodwell. But immediately as to church matters, for them we are most particularly indebted to the present Lord Bishop of Worcester: as well in what is contain'd in the tables before, as also but more especially in the appendix which his Lordship hath added in the end of the third, and is continued in the whole fourth table. All these tables were compiled, and are here represented together by Benjamin Marshall M.A. student of Christ Church in Oxford, and one of his Lordship's domestick chaplains..
