LETTER CXXV. A Letter from Dr. Bainbridge, Professor of Astronomy in Ox∣ford, to the most Reverend James Usher Arch-bishop of Ar∣magh.

Right Reverend, and my very good Lord;

HAving so fit opportunity, I am bold to remember my Service to your Grace; and withal, my former suit concerning Hipparchus, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, which being both in the Vatican, and Escurial, I marvel that Patavius did not procure a Transcript thereof; certainly it would have hel∣ped much in his Doctrina Temporum contra Scaligerum: Whereas now the ne∣glect of that, and other ancient Monuments, hath left that Work imperfect, and given just cause to others, of a more curious search; wherein I purpose to bestow my best Endeavours, not doubting of your Grace's Favour. Mr. Selden hath written some Notes upon certain ancient Greek Inscriptions, which were brought out of Turky for my Lord of Arundel; amongst which, one doth promise some light in the Persian Chronology, (I mean, of the Persian Monarchy) which of all others I most desire to be illustrated, being so ne∣cessary to the connexion of Sacred and Prophane History; concerning which I will yet forbear to signify my Opinion, daily expecting a view of Mr. Selden's Book.

Your Grace's most obliged Servant, John Bainbridg.

Oxon, April 7. 1628.
