The state of the greatest King, set forth in the greatness of Solomon, and the glory of his reign; viz. That Solomon's kingdom was the most pleasant, most flourishing, and best fortified Kingdom in the world; his People the most honourable and happy People that ever were subject to any earthly Prince; Jerusalem the most admirable City, and the Temple Built by Solomon (which is truly describ'd) the most wonderful House the World ever saw, the Expence laid out upon it amounting to a much greater Sum than all the Money in Europe can amount unto; and that neither the Great Nebuchadnezzar, nor Alexander the Great, nor yet any of the Persian Kings, or Roman Emperors were equal in Glory to Solomon. All this and very much more, that is Profitable and Wonderful, is proved undeniably.
