Moreover the same author I mean Gellius addeth Sempronius Asellio's mind therein, but this was the difference between those which would leave behind them yearly chronicles, and those which enterprised to write of things done by the Romans. The yearly chronicles did declare that only which was done and in what year it was done, but that was not sufficient for an history to declare what was done, but it must also show, by what counsel, and after what sort they were done. And a little after the same Aselio writeth in the same book: for neither can the books of the yearly chronicles any thing stir up the readers to be more quick to defend the common wealth, nor yet more slow to commit things unadvisedly. Furthermore because that by the knowledge of this book men are admonished and stirred up to the true worshipping of god to repent, to put their trust in god, and to practise all duties of life cheerfully. It containeth an history and not yearly Chronicles. Peradventure I have expounded these things with to many words, but yet as I suppose with some fruit.
Moreouer the same author I meane Gellius addeth Sempronius Asellios mynde therin, but this was the differēce betwene those whiche woulde leaue behinde them yearely chronicles, and those which enterprised to write of thinges done by the Romaynes. The yerely chronicles did declare that onely whiche was done and in what yeare it was done, but that was not sufficient for an history to declare what was done, but it must also shew, by what counsell, and after what sort they were done. And a little after the same Aselio writeth in the same booke: for neither can the bookes of the yerely chronicles any thing stirre vp the readers to be more quicke to defend the common wealth, nor yet more slow to cōmit thinges vnaduisedly. Furthermore bicause that by the knowledge of this booke men are admonished and stirred vp to the true worshippyng of god to repent, to put their trust in god, and to practise all dueties of lyfe cherefully. It conteyneth an history and not yerely Chronicles. Peraduenture I haue expounded these thinges with to many woordes, but yet as I suppose with some fruicte.
1But the space of the time which is comprehended in these declarations (if we may believe Augustine in his xviii. book de civitate dei, and 22. chap.) is 329. years, which he gathereth thus. When Rome was builded, the Hebrews had been in the land of Canaan. 718. years, of which (as he saith) 27. pertained unto Joshua, 329. to the Judges, & 362. are referred unto the kings. For Hezekiah the king lived in the time of Romulus.
