The reader will underline in ch. 10, some defend regarding the systems of Calendar by Ussher and Hales. Hales professes to follow the paragraph of the Greek or Cardinal translation of the Old Last wishes, correcting it by the Judaic historian Josephus, whose dates, nonetheless, are often manifestly very wrong.
