A general ecclesiatical history from the nativity of our blessed Saviour to the first establishment of Christianity by humane laws : under the emperor Constantine the so much of the Jewish and Roman history as is which is added, a large chronological table . fiderableAlterations ; which has given me a greaterReafon to value it than I had before. Only I muft not omit one Taff^agCj where^ inToint of Chronology^ fome worthy Terfons havejudged me to have been miftaken; and I cannotaffirm that I am not. It is a nice Matter re-lating to the true Time of the MaYtyrdom ofSt. Ignatius, which I have plac^d in the lothTear ofTYZj^Yi^sReignj A. D. 107. The famousBijhop Pearfon was once of the fame Ofinionyas well as Archbijhof Uilier ; but at laft havingconquer^d feveral tedious Chronological Diffictd-ties J and proceeding upon very exaEt Calculati-ons,, Bijhop Pearfon has fix^ ditto the Tear 116,upon which he has made an excellent Diferta-tion^ lately publifod with the new Edition ofIgnatiusV Epftles at Oxford. Mon. Pagi,and Bijhop Lloyd are both of this lajt Opinion;as may he feen in the Critick of the Former up-on Baronius, under the Tear 107. Tet fill theReafons and Arguments us^d by Mon. Tille-niont, in his Jjth Note upon the Rdgn ofTra-- a jan,. The P REF ACE. jan, are fo ftrong againft this Opnion, and for Ithe othery that I did not think it necefary to Imake any Alteration. I am fenfible that there Iare Difficulties attending both Sides^ that are not eafily furmomited, and therefore I fhall ileave it to the Judgement of fuch asjhallpleafe \to examine the T>tjfertations of thofe two great \Men, Bijhof Pearfon, and Mon. Tillemont, ito determine of this Toint as they fee Qaufe, ^ As to other Object ions, I know of none worth \the Readers Notice; //any fhall hereafter be idifcoverd, and Thofe who obferve them will \fleafe to favour me with a private Information ,of them, it Jhall be accepted with all Gratitude \afi4 Acknowledgement \ afid accord
