SECT. III.
SECT. III. The high antiquity of Egypt proved from
Scripture --And from the ancient Greek historians, sup-
ported and confirmed by Scripture. In the course of
this inquiry the rise and progress of the art of medicine
is treated of and explained
pp. 84-116
SECT. IV. The high antiquity of Egypt proved from
their Hieroglyphics. Their nature, original, and various
kinds, explained. Proved to be the original of the art of
Onirocritics or interpretation of Dreams, and likewise of
Brute-worship. In this inquiry is contained the history
of the various modes of information by Speech and
Writing: And of the various modes of ancient idolatry,
in the order they arose from one another, pp. 116-214
SECT. V. Sir Isaac Newton's chronology of the Egyptian
empire confuted, and shewn to contradict all sacred and
profane antiquity, and even the nature of things. In the
course of this Dissertation, the causes of that infinite
confusion in the ancient Greek history and mythology
are inquired into and explained
pp. 215-283
SECT. VI. Proves that Moses was skilled in all the learning
of Egypt, and the Israelites violently inclined to all their
superstitions.That the Ritual Law was instituted partly
in opposition to those superstitions, and partly in com-
pliance to the People's prejudices.-That neither that
Ritual nor Moses's Learning is any objection to the
divinity of his Mission-But a high confirmation of it.
In which Herman Witsius's arguments to the contrary
are examined and confuted; and the famous Prophecy
in the twentieth chapter of Ezekiel explained and vin-
dicated against the absurd interpretation of the Rabbins
and Dr. Shuckford
