H A Y 
which had long lain difperfed in detached pieces, were

HAYAN'GE, a town of France, in (lie department

tri< 5 h of Briey: two leagues fouth-weft of Thionville, 
and two north-eaft of Briey.

twenty-fix miles fouth-eaft of Egra, and twenty-four 
weft of Pilfen. 
FIAY'DENHEIM, a town of Germany, in Swabia, 
and duchy of Wurtemburg, fituated on the Brenz, cele¬ 
brated for its pottery : forty-two miles eaft of Stuttgard, 
and eighteen north-north-weft of Ulm. 
HAYE (John de la), a French Francifcan friar, born 
at Paris in 1593. When young he was fent into Spain, 
where he took the habit of a Cordelier in 1611. When 
he had paffed through the progreflive courfe of his edu¬ 
cation, he was feleCted to teach philofophy and theology 
in the leminaries belonging to his order, androfe to high 
reputation in thofe departments. Returning afterwards 
to France, he was honoured with the appointment of 
preacher in ordinary to queen Anne, of Auftria. He died 
at Paris in 1661, in the fixty-ninth year of his age. In 
1643 he publilhed at Paris, Biblia magna, Commentariorum 
literalium Gagnai, EJlii, Menochii, Tirini, & aliorum, illujirata. 
in 5 vols. folio. But de la Haye was not fatisfied with 
having prefented to the public a collection of commen¬ 
taries on fcripture in five volumes only. He therefore fet 
abo.ut a fimilar undertaking of much greater magnitude; 
and., in 1660, publilhed his Biblia maxima, cum Annotatio- 
nibus diverforum, in nineteen vols. folio. '1 his work great¬ 
ly exceeds the Polyglots' of Spain, England, or France ; 
and contains, in addition to the verfions to be found in 
all thofe Bibles, tranflations in the Sclavonic, Gothic, 
Italian, Spanilh, and French, languages. Father Simon 
beftows much praife on the method which de la Haye 
has followed in his collection ; in which he firft points 
out the different ways of explaining the fcriptures, then 
compares them with each other, and paffes his judgment 
upon them, and finally introduces the feveral literal ex¬ 
planations of the belt authors; hence it is the moft per¬ 
fect and ufeful of all the catholic collections upon the 
Bible. The fubjeCt of this article mult not be con¬ 
founded with John de la Haye, a Jefuit, who died in 1614, 
aged feventy-four, and who was the author of a Har¬ 
mony of the E vangelifts, in a vols. folio, and other works.

partment of the Channel, and chief place of a canton,

department of the Channel, and chief place of a canton,

tan, and five north of Coutantes. 
HAY'ER (John-Nicholas-Hubert), a learned French 
ecclefiaftic, born at Sar-Louis in 1718. He embraced 
the monaftic life, and by his talents and learning recom¬ 
mended himfelf to the pofts of profeffor of plulofophy 
and theology among the Rccollets. He died at Paris in 
1786, at (ixty-two years of age. He frequently flood 
forth the champion of. revealed religion, in oppofition 
to modern fceptics. The principal of hiS works were, 
1. A Treatife on the Exiftence of God, umo, 2. On 
the Immateriality and Immortality of the Soul, 175-7, 
3 vols. 12mo. 3. The Temporal Utility of the Chrif- 
tian Religion, 1774, izino. 4. The Charlatanery of 
Unbelievers. 5. The Rule of Faith defended againft 
the Calumnies of the Proteftants, 1761, 3 voh. nmo.

lical, 1765, 121UO. 
HAYES (Charles), an ingenious Englifh mathemati¬ 
cian, born in 1678. He entered early into the fervice of 
the Royal African Company, in whole employment he 
took a voyage to Africa, where he fpent fome years, 
and afterwards role to the chief management of their af¬ 
fairs at home. In 1704, he publifhed a Treatife oil 
Fluxions, in folio, which delivers the elements of that 
fcience in an eafy and familiar manner, and is faid to be 
the firft work on the fubjeCt publifhed in the Englifh 
language. In 1710 he publifhed A New and Eafy Me¬ 
thod to find out the Longitude, from obferving the Al¬ 
titudes of the Celeftial Bodies, 4to. and in 1723, The 
Moon, a Philofophical Dialogue ; intended to fhow, 
that the moon is not merely a dark and opake body, but 
that flie pofTeffes no inconfiderable fliare of native and 
original light. The Septuagint verfion of the Old Tef- 
tament he held in the higheft eftimation ; and, after ex¬ 
amining the hiftory of that verfion which pailes under 
the name of Arifteas, he undertook to write a defence 
of that performance againft the objections of modern cri¬ 
tics. This piece he publifhed in 1736, under the title 
of A Vindication of the Hiftory of the Septuagint, See. 
8vo. His next work made its appearance in 1738, and 
difplays much learning and ingenious criticifm in an en¬ 
deavour to afeertain, fully and clearly, the true year of 
the nativity of Chrift. 11 is entitled, A Critical Exami¬ 
nation of the Holy Gofpels according to St. Matthew 
and St. Luke, with regard to the Hiftory of the Birth 
and Infancy of our Lord Jekis Chrift, 8vo. In 1741 fie 
exhibited another fpecimen of his erudition by publifli. 
ing A Diflertation on the Chronology of the Septuagint : 
fliewing, that the Chaldiean and Egyptian Antiquities" 
hitherto efteemed fabulous, are perfectly confiftent with 
the Computations of that moft ancient Verfion of the 
Holy Scriptures, 8vo. To this differtation he added a 
lupplement in 1747, containing a complete feries of the 
kings of Argos and Athens from Inachus, and of the 
old emperors of China from Fohi to the birth of Chrift; 
at the fame time undertaking to fhow, that the chronol 
logy of all thefe nations perfectly agrees with the Sep¬ 
tuagint. In 1753, he commenced a laborious under¬ 
taking fora perlon feventy-five years of age; which 
was, to compile a work in Latin, under the title o {Ckro- 
nographia Af.atica & ALgyptiaca ab orbe condito ad Ckriftum 
natum per Annos 5500, ad Fidem Scriptorum VetuJHJJimorum 
rejiituta & illufirata. This work he lived to finifh, but 
it has never been committed to'the prefs. In 1759 he 
publifhed Chronographix Afatiae & JEgyptiac* Specimen. 
In quo, I. Origo Chronologies LXX Interpreium invejligatur. II. 
Confpettiis totius Operis exhiletur, 8vo. Under the firft part 
the author attempts to fhow, that both the feventv in¬ 
terpreters, and Jofephus, took their fyftem of chrono-
