prefent Matters have not introduced theirs, which is much 
longer, as appears by Mr. Greaves. LaBfyy He proves out 
of Greaves, that the fide of the Great Pyramided and the length 
of the r^??i«?^ therein, are meafured by an even Number of 
fuch Egyptian Cubits \ wherefore he concludes they were lb 
defigned at firft ; viz,, the Side of the Pyr amide to be 380 
hits^ and the length of the Tcmb juft Four, which carries 
with It a great fliew of probability. This done, he proves 
the Jemjh Cdity the fame with the Egyptian Cnbity by fe- 
veral probable Arguments ; among which the chief leems 
to be, That the whole Nation of the Jews had been for lb 
many years Subjects oi Egypt ^ and carried undoubtedly a- 
way with them thdv Weights ^nd Meafures: and there is nO 
Teftimony or Reafon to prove that the Jews have fince al- 
tered them. Hence he concludes the Old Script/^re Cubit 21,9 
Inches f;^^////:?/^^^, equal to what Mr. Gr^'^z/^i- found the 
modern Egyptian Cubit: and fb makes a Table of all the 0- 
ther Meajures , whofe proportions to the Cubit are agreed 
upon. 
The third Chapter treats of the Epha^ and the other Mea- 
fures of: Capacity, endeavouring to prove the Content of 
Epha, equal to : of the Ardub^ or Cule oi the Egyptian Cubit \ 
that is, Ssven Gallons and half, and half Pint C/my^-r, or very 
near the Cuhe of ^ Foot Eng/ijh, and containing juft 1000 
Ounces Jverdupoize ot Water ; for the which he produces 
fuch Authorities, and compares them fo well together, that 
he has almbfl: put it out of doubt ; giving at laft a Table of 
the Co ntents of all the other Scripture-Meafures of Capacity, 
having a known relation to the Epha. 
TliQ fourth Chapter tvt^ts of the Weights ^nd tT^'/^j men- 
tioned in Scripture ; and having by Tryal as well as Autho- 
rity found the Weight of <V/?^'fc/juft half the Roman OuHctj 
equal to the half Ounce Jverdnpoize^ he determins its value 
'2 s. 4^. and thence derives the value of the G^?/^' and &7- 
ver Tahntj weighing '^000 Shekels. jL/?///^, He recommends 
for a Unlvcrfal Standard, the length of tliQ Pend/dim vibra-
