controuersie betweene the Women for the dead Child Christ at Twelue yeares of age is found disputing among the Doctors He likewise ordained Twelue Apostles and Twelue times did he appeare after his resurrection In the Reuelation of euery Tribe is sealed Twelue thousand The heauenly Ierusalem is described to haue Twelue Foundations of 12. precious Stones Twelue Gates and Twelue Angels and the Names written of the Twelue Apostles and through the Cittie there runneth a pure Riuer and on either side of the Riuer the Tree of Life which beareth Twelue manner of Fruites and beareth Fruite euery moneth in the yeare and the leaues of the Tree doe serue to heale the Nations with Now the reason why God in the beginning layde downe in close signification and such easie proportions the whole scope of his gouernment to the Worldes end is to shew that his Wisedome is infinite and that nothing in the Scriptures doth fall out by chaunce but by his forepurpose according to the secret counsel of his owne will to make vs still looke backe vnto the Creation Seth borne Gen. 5. when Adam is 130. yeares old ADam was make in the image of God Seth is begotten in the image of Adam to shew that whatsoeuer is borne of the flesh is flesh and whatsoeuer is borne of the spirit is spirit When Adam was 130. yeares old hee begetteth Seth being as may be gathered not one day more nor one day lesse And this rule serueth for all the Ten Fathers before the Flood The holy Ghost keeping an exact Chronicle of the times beginneth at Adam and so goeth forward laying downe the particular ages of the Fathers vnto the Flood saying When Adam is 130. yeares old Seth is borne Now if he had been one day more the number had not been perfect if one lesse it had not been exact We may better therefore conclud that all the ten Fathers were borne on the sixt day that is the day of Adams creation rather then on any other day seeing it can not well be denied and that it crosseth neither Storie nor rule of Religion Seth signifieth Setled or Foundation Hee knew the Creator and that the world should be founded vpon him Esay 58.11 The Wicked haue no sure foundation but are like to the Chaffe in a Summer floore But the Godly shall be like a fresh watred Garden and like the Fountaine of water that neuer leaueth running whose foundation is layde for many generations For as a Tree that hath sure rootes will beare many Branches so to be setled in Religion as Seth was many things will appeare to be of singular force Seth died being 912. yeares old Now compare him with Christ thus Seth His name signifieth Foundation He was begotten in the image of Adam Christ The Rocke and sure Foundation of his Church The very caracter of his Father Enosh borne when Seth is 105. yeares old In these numbers you haue 10. multiplyed by 10. and 5. which is the number of the letters of Iehouah HIs name signifieth Sorowfull Euery man is called sorowfull Enosh and the Hebrew tongue sometime calleth a man Enosh and sometimes Adam The Caldeans call a man Enosh but not Adam because they had not the antiquitie of the Creation of the world In Enosh his time Religion decayed in the house of God for which the Flood came and drowned the World This Sorrow is called a Godly sorrow to which the Lord hath added a Blessing as Mat. 5.4 Blessed are they that mourne for they shall receiue comfort And Ecclesiastes 7.5 Crauitie is better then laughter for when the countenaunce is heauie the heart is reformed And Christ in Luk. 6.21 sayth Blessed are yee that weepe now for yee shall laugh Christ being sorrowfull for the negligence of the Iewes knowing that they should be plagued for not embracing the Promise to Abraham Isaacke and Iacob weepeth ouer Ierusalem saying O Ierusalem Ierusalem O sight of peace O sight of peace If thou haddest knowen those thinges that belong to thy peace And so with griefe and sorrow of heart he leaueth off as not able to expresse the summe of his sorrow Againe with like sorrow he sayth How often would I haue gathered you togeather as a Henne gathereth her Chickens and you would not Enosh dyed being 905. yeares old Kenan borne when Enosh was 90. yeares old HIs name signifieth Contrite or small store Mat. 5.3 Blessed are the poore in spirit for theirs is the Kingdome of heauen Esay 57.15 Thus sayth the High and Excellent euen hee that dwelleth in Eternitie whose name is the Holy one I dwell high aboue and in the Sanctuarie and with him also that is of a Contrite spirit doe I dwell that I may heale a troubled minde and a Contrite heart Psal 51.17 An humble and Contrite heart the Lord doth not despise Therefore shall euery godly man prayse the Lord without ceasing Kenan dyed being 910 yeares old Mahalaleel borne when Kenan was 70. yeares old You haue in this number ten seuens or seuen multiplyed by ten which is 70 which is the number of his natiuitie wherein you haue a sweete resemblance of the Creation of which number many excellent thinges are to be spoken which I will handle afterwardes THis name signifieth My prayse God Leah nameth her fourth sonne Iuda the Father of Shiloh Prayse God for so his name likewise signifieth The vse of this ought to be imbraced of all seeing it stretcheth to the saluation of all It appeareth hereby that the godly Fathers in auncient time had wonderfull regard in naming their Children For if you doe marke the whole Stories of the Bible you shall finde very few notable men whether they were godly or wicked but they containe rare matter in their names From Mahalaleel we are taught to Prayse God aright that is in sinceritie of spirit with sounde knowledge grounded vpon the trueth of his word David knowing that prayse giuing to God is not onely required at our hands but also at euery creatures in their kind biddeth the whole course of Nature Prayse the Lord. And in Psalm 47.6 hee sayth O sing prayses sing prayses vnto our God O sing prayses sing prayses vnto our King for the Lord is high and to be feared Hee is the great King vpon all the earth sing prayses therefore with vnderstanding Hee sheweth vs a reason in the 19. Psal 1. when he sayth The Heauens declare the glory of God and the Firmament sheweth his handie worke One day telleth another one night certifieth another c. Therefore let the wordes of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be alway acceptable in thy sight O Lord my Locke and my Redeemer Whereby we are taught that the true prayse of God consisteth not onely in outward acknowledging of his workes and his iudgementes for that the wicked are often times compelled to confesse as Pharaoh Nebucadnetzar and others but we must prayse God so as that all our

if we doe but crosse the account laide downe by the Heathen we do obscure the euidence of the Scriptures Thus much for the answere of this obiection Arphaxad borne when his father Sem was 100. yeares old Noah 602. and Iaphet 102. HIs name signifieth Healíng Some hold that the Caldeans come from him CHRIST healeth all our infirmities Shelah borne Arphaxad being 35. yeares old HIs name signifieth a Branch or Twigge Hee was the Eather of the Shelanites Heber borne Shelah being 30. yeares old HEber a representer of the Sonne of God who beginning to be thirtie yeares old buildeth vp the decayed walles of the Gentiles Thirtie yeares after the promise giuen to Abram was it before his seede began to be afflicted Ioseph being thirtie yeares old expoundeth Pharaohs Dreame Heber signifieth Pilgrime or Stranger So his faythfull seede confessed themselues to be Saith Abraham I am a Stranger and Pilgrime Giue mee a place for money to burie my dead So saith Saint Peter repeating the same Storie I beseech you as Pilgrimes and Strangers to abstaine from fleshy lustes which fight against the soule And Christ the chiefest of Heber said The Foxes haue holes and the Birdes of the ayre haue nestes but the Sonne of man hath not whereon to lay his head Hebers posteritie went as strangers flitting from Land to Land Looking for a Citie whereof GOD was the builder Heb. 11.10 This Heber is from the Creation the fourteenth two seuens a double Henoch He is the fourth after the flood as Iudah is the fourth sonne of Iacob of whom Christ came He is the seuenth from Henoch a man for rare blessinges to be compared with Henoch and is the same in force that Henoch is although you would thinke them cleane contrary and so they are in signification but in effect of diuinitie all one For Henoch signifieth Dedicated to God and Heber Pilgrime or Stranger and hee that is a stranger vpon earth despising the state of worldly pompe is a Citizen with God therefore whosoeuer will be a true Henoch must also be a true Heber And if we will be holy before God acceptable vessels for the vse of his Temple wee must beare Palme boughes in our handes that is sing Hosanna to the highest and be estranged from the vaine conuersation of this earthly Paradise so shall our names continue famous through many Generations as Hebers did and we shall speake the prayses of God in our owne tongues for wee will not consent with Nimrod to the building of our owne Confusion whereby wee might be shaken off from the fauour of God as hee and his adherents were Hebers glory is further enlarged in that the Hebrew tongue taketh the name from him The Iewes kept this sinceerely till they went into Captiuitie into Babylon but when they came from thence they began to stammer for they learned the tongue of the Babylonians Malachy endeth the old Testament the Hebrew tongue for though Schollers write Hebrew yet vpon the first sight it is apparant to be the writing of man so farre it differeth from the stile of the holy Spirit There be one thousand seauen hundred fifty and eight rootes in the Hebrew tongue And this is a wonderfull thing that the bare actions of the Creatures should expresse Hebrew wordet as a horse runninig vpon a cawsey the sound of his feete is much expressing this noyse Ratsat which in Hebrew is to run the noise which birds make by clapping their wings when they flie is of this sound Goth which in Hebrew signifieth a Fowle The Grecians cannot find out the roots of their tongue The Lord tooke such order in penning of the old Testament that one skilfull in the Hebrew tongue will easily know if there be a sentence or a word put in nay if there be but a letter added so that they are very vnwise that perswade others or beleeue themselues that the bookes of Iudith and Tobie are Canonicall scriptures for they are not Hebrew neither were they receiued at any time by the auncient Hebrewes who where so perfect and ready in the text of the old Testament that they could tell how many times the letter Aleph was vsed in the Byble so that to beleeue these bookes to bee Scriptures is to crosse the testimony of the Iewes for their owne story and if they knew our opinions herein they would condemne vs for missing of Religion This Heber was a varie happie man and his happinesse made manifest in that none that liued after him came to his daies for he being a Prophet knew how heauy the curse of God would be vpon the sonnes of men for building the tower of Babel therefore hee nameth his sonne Peleg Diuided The Hebrew name is halfe the abridgment of the story as it falleth out for the most part He had also great cause of sorrow and heauinesse in that thirteene families of Ioctaines sonnes to whom Heber was Graundfather went quite away and were farre from Ierusalem and being out of the fauour of God were bereaued of saluation so that Chams house might seeme to haue greater blessinges for they dwelt neere to Ierusalem and Iacobs sonnes in Egypt married with Chams daughters Iacobs sonnes called themselues Hebrewes because the storie of Heber is the most famous of all the Fathers Peleg borne Heber being 34. yeares old HIs name signifieth Diuision In his dayes the tongues of those that built the Tower of Babel were confounded In the consideration of which storie Time Place Persons are to be vnderstood Time at or a litle before Pelegs birth Place a Plaine in the land of Shinear Persons 70. of Sem. 27. Iaphet 14. Cham. 29. These 70. spake one language the tongue of Heber and going from the East they found a plaine in the land of Shinear where they abode and made bricke in stead of stone and slime in stead of morter and ioyning with Nimrod sayd Let vs make vs a Sem that is a name euen in despight of the blessing of Noah bestowed vpon Sem. But God scattered them from that place into the vpper face of all the earth and they left off to build the Citie therefore the name of it is called Ba-bell that is Come confusion because there the Lord confounded the language of all the earth Babell is Babling both in Hebrew and in English 1 This halfe sheweth that as the dayes of men at the 2 Flood were cut off halfe in halfe so likewise at the confusion of Tongues for none after Peleg commeth to halfe Hebers yeares As at the confusion of tongues there was great falling out about words because one could not vnderstand another so hitherto all the world is at variance for the vnderstanding of words And as the builders of Babell fell to Babling so the despisers of diuinity shall fall to Babling Therefore it were to be wished that euery man in the world vnderstood the Hebrew tongue All nations in the earth are compelled to take notice of this
