but_o a_o particular_a reason_n cast_v a_o great_a doubt_n on_o the_o chinese_n history_n from_o the_o begin_n of_o their_o monarchy_n to_o about_o 200_o year_n before_o jesus_n christ_n because_o that_o xin_o the_o first_o king_n of_o the_o race_n cina_n who_o reign_v about_o 200_o year_n before_o jesus_n christ_n burn_v as_o far_o as_o it_o be_v possible_a all_o the_o book_n of_o china_n which_o treat_v not_o of_o medicine_n or_o divination_n their_o history_n show_v that_o he_o exercise_v great_a cruelty_n against_o those_o which_o conceal_a book_n and_o that_o so_o few_o escape_v

which_o remount_v beyond_o the_o time_n where_o our_o common_a chronology_n place_n the_o flood_n insomuch_o that_o several_a among_o the_o missionary_n have_v think_v it_o necessary_a to_o have_v
