hee indued him with celestiall vnderstanding and named him Adam of the redde earth or claye whereof he was framed And to the end he should not bee alone the Lord casting him into a dead slumber tooke a ribbe from out his side and framing woman thereof gaue her vnto him as his wife and companion and placed them in the pleasantest part of all the earth watered on all parts with most pleasant riuers and delectable fountaines which place for the euer fresh and pleasant aspect was of the Greekes called Paradice wherein for a space they liued a most blessed life free from all euill the earth producing all things of her owne accord But no sooner had they transgressed the commandement of their maker but that they were expelled from that most sacred seat and happy habitation thrust into the earth to till the same out of which they were taken which being then for a curse restrained of her former fruitfulnesse and bringing forth nothing willingly they got their liuings with sweate and sorrow their bodies being become subiect to heat and cold and all kinde of infirmities Their first begotten sonne they called Cain the second Abell after whom they had many other children So that the world growing richer in age and the earth more inhabited as the multitude of people increased so did wickednesse waxe more rife and men growing worse worse accounting iniury for innocencie and the contempt of Gods maiesty for piety were come to that height of iniquity that God in all the world scarce finding Noah only whom for the reparation of mankind he thought fit to be preserued with his houshold sent the generall deluge which drowning all the world destroyed the fowles of the aire and all liuing creatures breathing vpon the face of the earth some few seed pares only excepted defended by the Arke from the force of the floud After the rage of the waters had continued for fiue months space the Arke rested vpon the hils of Armenia and Noah his company going forth into the earth by Gods speciall grace assistances in short time the almost extinguished estate of all mortall creatures was repared And Noah because all parts of the earth might be re-peopled sent his sonnes nephews and kinsfolke with their companies to dwell some into one country some into an other Into Aegipt according to the opinion of Berosus he sent Esennius with the Colonies of Cham Tritamen into Lybia and Cyrene and Iaphet Priscus Attolaa to inioy the rest of Affrick Into East Asia hee sent Canges with some of the sonnes of Gomer Gallus Sabus surnamed Thurifer went into Arabia foelix Arabus ruled in the deserts of Arabia and Petreius in that part of Arabia called Petreia Chanaan hee placed in Damascus in the confines of Palestine In Europe hee made Thuysco King of Sarmatia from the riuer of Tanais to the riuer of Rhene to whom were ioyned the sonnes of Istrus and Mesa with their brethren who had the gouernment from the hill Adulas to Messembria Pontica Vnder whome Tyrus Archadius and Aemathius gouerned in Italy Gomerus in France Samotes possessed that part of France betwixt the riuers Garunia and Sequana and Iuball was Lord of the Celtibers That short and vntimely alienation of the children from their progenitors of whose life and manners they had little taste was cause of all the diuersity which insued for Cham beeing constrained to flye with his wife and children for scorning and deriding his father seated himselfe in that part of Arabia which was afterwards called by his name where hee left no religious ceremonies to his posterity as hauing receiued none from his Father whereof insued that as in tract of time diuerse companies beeing sent out of that coast to inhabite other countries and possessing diuerse partes of the world for the reiected seede did exceedingly increase many of them fell into inextricable errors their languages were varyed and all knowledge and reuerence of the true and liuing God was vtterly forgotten and abolished in so much as many of them might well bee sayd to liue a life so vnciuill and so barbarous as hardly could there any difference bee discerned betwixt them and brute beasts Those which went into Aegypt admiring the motion and brightnesse of the heauenly lights and ascribing a certaine God-head to the Sunne and Moone began to worship them for gods calling the Sunne Osyris and the Moone Isis the Ayre they reuerenced vnder the name of Iupiter the Fire of Vulcan the Skye of Pallas and the Earth of Ceres giuing diuine honors vnto other things likewise vnder diuerse other names and appellations Nor did that black clowde of darknesse hang onely ouer the land of Aegypt but what countries soeuer were first inhabited by the off-spring of Cham were vtterly ouer-whelmed in ignorance of true pietie and wholy inthralled in Satans slauerie Neither was there euer land the mother of more Colonies then that part of Arabia wherein cursed Cham and his crew remained so great was that destruction which the vntimely banishment of one man brought to all man-kinde Whereas on the contrary part the issue of Sem and Iaphet being lawfully instructed by their parents and elders and contented to liue in their owne limits wandred not abroad into all parts of the world as those others did which is the cause that the desire of the truth I meane the worship of the true God and godlinesse was vntill the comming of the Messias priuately practised in one country onely The false opinion of the Ethnicks concerning mans originall CAP. 2. BVT the ancient Philosophers beeing voyde of knowledge of the true God-head haue written long sithence many Histories of Nature haue otherwise thought of mans originall for some of them were of opinion that the world was without beginning and incorruptible and that the stock of humaine kinde hath beene for euer Some others supposed both world and worldly men to haue beginning and to be likewise subiect to corruption for say they at first the nature of heauen and earth being mingled together and vnseperated had one onely forme or Idaea out of which chaos each body being seperated from other the world attained this shape it now carryeth the ayrie being in continuall motion the firye part thereof for his lightnesse required the vppermost seate and by the same reason the Sunne and all other starres obtained their courses That part which was mixt with moysture by reason of his weight remained still in his propper place which being than mingled together of the moyst part thereof was made the sea and the harder part became earth though then soft and slimy which afterwards growing harder and thicker by the heate of the sunne the force of the heate by little and little swelling and puffing vp the superficies or vttermost part thereof there were in many places diuerse humors congealed together wherein appeared certaine putrifactions
