TO THE READERS TO remove all Doubts about this Proposition as to the First Part of this Book you must understand That the most noted Persons first from Adam to Joseph A.

M. 3372. Kings of the Jews Then from Darius to Alexander the Great succeeded the Monarchy of the Persians and from the said Alexander to Octavianus is the Reign of the Grecians and then came in the Emperors of Rome to Leopold the First then Reigning But because from the time of Charles the Great in the year of our Lord 801 there were two Emperors the one in the East at Constantinople and the other in the West you have an account of those of Constantinople to the taking of that City by the Turks A. C. 1453. which are not so exactly mentioned by Historians especially to the days of John Cattacusinus and therefore it is no wonder if there be any mistake of the former times As for the rest all
