in the same manner shall all the true Israel of God be rescued from
their enemies, and be in due time delivered from the land of darkness
and of death.
4. Table IV., Containing the statements of the ancient chronographers
relating to the _Fourth age_ of the world—The testimony of
Josephus to the extent of this age highly satisfactory—Proof that
it was 612 years—Strange errors of Theophilus—Method of
rectifying them—Compensating errors of Africanus—His date of the
foundation of Solomon’s Temple correct—Errors of Eusebius—His
_Præparatio_ correct in amount, his _Chronicon_ wrong—He confutes
himself and adopts the Hebrew chronology—Comparison between him
and Usher—Errors of the Paschal Chronicle—The author coincides
with Josephus—Hesitancy of Mr. Clinton—Table V., _The first four
ages_ of the world, and date of Solomon’s Temple according to the
different chronographers.
The following table, which exhibits the statements of the chronographers
regarding the _Fourth age_ of the world, should be compared with Table
X. in our _first Part_; as it contains the _Critarchal Eras_, and
_Intervals_ according to each chronographer. With regard to this period,
we omitted to observe that the reading in most of the MSS. and editions
of the Septuagint, in 1 Kings vi. 1, is 440 years instead of 480 years.
