Excerpt from A Chronological Essay on the Sacred History, From the Creation of the World to the Birth of Christ: Being a Defence of the Computation of the Septuagint But before I enter upon this Work, it may be convenient to fay fomething in behalf of the Tranflarion of the Seventy, which has fuffered much in its Reputation of late Years both with Protejlants and Papijlr. The Pro teflants being wonderfully zealous for the Hehrew Text, and the Papi/ls (fince the Council of Trent) for the Latin Vulgate, have both of them fpoken fo defpicably of the Verfion of the Seventy as if it was of no manner of Ufe and Authority.

I {hall give one Infiance of this to the Englijh Reader, who either has not Skill or Oppore' tunity to compare the Hebrew and the Sep tuagint, and that is in the xivth Pfalm and 3d Verfe. There if he compares this Pfalm in his Bible, which is tranflated from the He hrew, with the fame Pfalm in his Common prayer-book tranflated from the Septuagint.
