Sacred and Profane, History of the World Connected, From the Creation of the World

Samuel Shuckford, James Creighton

Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. At the Flood, the Heavens underwent some change the motion of the Sun was altered, and a year, or annual revolution of it, became, as it now is, five days and almost six hours longer than it was before. That such a change had been madea, most of the phllosopllei's observed, and, without doubt, as soon as they did Observe it, they endeavoured to set right their chronology by it: for it is evident, that as soon as the solar year became thus augmented, the an cient measure of a year would not do, but mistakes must creep in, and grow more and more every year they continued to compute by it.
