There seems to be a very pregnant proof of this, in that _Hercules_ had a son call’d _Isaac_, to whom one would imagine _Abraham_ was sponsor at his baptism, or perhaps his son _Isaac_; for baptism was one part of the patriarchal religion. And they had susceptors, sponsors, or what we call _god-fathers_ at the font, as we have. Of this _Isaac_ son of _Hercules_, _Plutarch_ informs us, _de Isid. & Osir._ remembred by the _Phrygians_, for he was planted in _Phrygia_ by his father _Hercules_. Hence it became a common name there, and _Æsacus_ son of king _Priam_ is but the same name, as my learned friend Mr. _Baxter_ thinks, in his _glossar. Antiq. Rom._ If this consideration be joined to what I wrote in _Stonehenge_ about _Phryxus_, or _Apher_, grandson of _Abraham_, having a concern in planting, and even naming of _Britain_, it may afford us another hint about our _Phrygian_ extract, which the old _Britons_ are so fond of. And we can expect no other than these kind of hints, in matters of such extreme antiquity. And further, as he was concern’d in settling colonies in _Spain_, we may attribute to him the claim which the _Gallæci_ there had, to a _Trojan_ descent, of which _Justin_ informs us. [Illustration: TAB. XXXIX. _Stukeley del._ _Prospect of the British Temple at Barrow Lincolnshʳ July 25. 1724._] This _Apher_ is the _Africus_ mention’d by _Mela_, I. 9. He calls him an _Arabian_ king, who being driven out by the _Assyrians_, went into _Africa_. ’Tis very remarkable, that his name, when interpreted, signifies _Tyn_; as the great _Bochart_ makes the name of _Britain_, come from _Bratanac, the land of tyn_; equivalent to the _greek_ word κασσιτερος, whence _Cassiterides_ in _latin_. This expulsion seems to be hinted at in _Gen._ xiv. 6. in the days of _Abraham_. Now a reader not much acquainted with these kind of inquiries, will be apt to smile at pretending to a similitude between _Apher_ and _Britain_. So in making the _Wiltshire_ word _sarsens_ deriv’d from the same word as the name of the city of _Tyre_; tho’ ’tis an undeniable fact, and easily perceiv’d by the learned.
