A New History of the World, containing

an Hiftorical and Chronological Account of the Times and Transactions from the Creation to the Birth of our Lord Jesus Chrift, according to the Computation of the Septuagint; which the Author manifeftly shews to be that of the ancient Hebrew Copy of the Bible, together with Chronological Tables at the End of each Age. In which the Lives of the Patriarchs after the Deluge, the Reigns of the Rulers and Kings of the Children of Ifrael and Juda, are parallel'd (and agree exactly) with those of the Affyrian, Babylonian, Perfian, Grecian Kings and Roman Emperors: by means whereof all the Objections and Cavils of our Modern Libertines, Deifts, Atheists and PreAdamites, who grounding their Arguments and Reafonings upon the Computation of the present Hebrew Text, make the first Kings of the Affyrian, Babylonian and Egyptian Monarto have Reign'd fome Hundreds of Years Before the Deluge, are clearly confuted. By Cornelius Nary, C. F.P. Dr.
