that_o one_o be_v serviceable_a to_o our_o author_n purpose_n but_o not_o the_o other_o but_o our_o author_n have_v make_v a_o far_o great_a breach_n in_o the_o account_n of_o josephus_n in_o the_o

tyre_n the_o objector_n prove_v his_o age_n by_o these_o step_n 1._o he_o take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o jaddus_n be_v high_a priest_n at_o the_o time_n the_o book_n of_o nehemiah_n be_v write_v but_o he_o take_v this_o only_a as_o probable_a and_o therefore_o by_o his_o own_o confession_n all_o can_v be_v but_o probable_a that_o he_o build_v on_o it_o now_o as_o he_o represent_v this_o our_o author_n will_v persuade_v his_o reader_n that_o i_o be_o as_o forgetful_a as_o he_o be_v and_o that_o in_o one_o page_n i_o take_v that_o for_o grant_v as_o a_o certain_a and_o undoubted_a truth_n which_o in_o the_o next_o page_n i_o take_v only_o as_o probable_a whereas_o there_o be_v no_o such_o difference_n in_o what_o i_o deliver_v i_o say_v indeed_o 6._o answ_n p._n 6._o that_o nehemiah_n

be_v imply_v or_o denote_v by_o what_o nehemiah_n there_o deliver_v i.e._n it_o be_v probable_a nehemiah_n word_n be_v so_o to_o be_v understand_v but_o i_o do_v not_o peremptory_o affirm_v and_o take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o he_o do_v so_o and_z according_o i_o say_v afterward_o page_n 7._o that_o it_o be_v probable_a jaddus_n be_v then_o high_a priest_n and_o therefore_o our_o author_n be_v in_o the_o right_n when_o he_o say_v by_o his_o own_o confession_n all_o can_v be_v but_o probable_a that_o he_o build_v upon_o it_o for_o i_o do_v confess_v it_o and_o desire_v to_o build_v no_o more_o on_o it_o that_o be_v sufficient_a for_o my_o purpose_n and_o if_o our_o author_n account_n be_v but_o probable_a likewise_o it_o will_v serve_v my_o purpose_n as_o well_o as_o my_o own_o for_o i_o hope_v bare_a probability_n be_v not_o sufficient_a for_o to_o make_v example_n and_o precedent_n in_o matter_n of_o the_o high_a importance_n but_o which_o of_o the_o two_o be_v most_o probable_a we_o shall_v see_v upon_o examine_v what_o our_o author_n offer_v in_o opposition_n he_o add_v next_o for_o the_o time_n when_o that_o book_n be_v write_v it_o must_v have_v be_v before_o nehemiah_n die_v that_o be_v certain_a but_o when_o do_v he_o die_v the_o objector_n tell_v we_o from_o briet_n that_o he_o die_v the_o last_o year_n of_o longimanus_fw-la who_o reign_v forty_o one_o year_n but_o to_o what_o end_n do_v he_o tell_v we_o this_o for_o he_o himself_o can_v not_o believe_v it_o and_o i_o pray_v mark_v his_o reason_n it_o follow_v as_o appear_v by_o his_o word_n for_o say_v he_o i_o think_v the_o least_o we_o can_v allow_v for_o the_o time_n of_o nehemiah_n be_v live_v after_o he_o end_v his_o book_n be_v thirty_o year_n and_o it_o be_v very_o probable_a it_o be_v much_o more_o these_o indeed_o i_o own_o to_o be_v my_o own_o word_n but_o as_o the_o author_n have_v place_v they_o the_o sense_n be_v i_o no_o more_o than_o black_a and_o white_a be_v one_o colour_n the_o whole_a sentence_n be_v this_o 7._o answ_n p._n 7._o i_o think_v the_o least_o we_o can_v allow_v for_o the_o time_n of_o nehemiah_n live_v after_o he_o end_v his_o book_n and_o for_o the_o marriageble_a age_n of_o manasses_n and_o then_o for_o jaddus_n age_n as_o elder_a than_o he_o the_o least_o we_o can_v allow_v be_v thirty_o year_n and_o it_o be_v very_o probable_a it_o be_v much_o more_o and_o now_o do_v not_o any_o man_n see_v the_o fairness_n and_o ingenuity_n of_o our_o author_n answer_n and_o how_o pure_o he_o prove_v that_o according_a to_o my_o word_n nehemiah_n live_v thirty_o year_n after_o he_o end_v his_o book_n whereas_o all_o that_o i_o allow_v be_v that_o nehemiah_n live_v some_o time_n after_o he_o end_v his_o book_n and_o which_o i_o suppose_v our_o author_n will_v not_o deny_v but_o for_o the_o thirty_o year_n they_o plain_o refer_v to_o the_o age_n of_o jaddus_n and_o which_o be_v prove_v by_o a_o complicancy_n of_o circumstance_n as_o the_o time_n nehemiah_n live_v after_o he_o end_v his_o book_n the_o marriageable_a age_n of_o manasses_n who_o be_v then_o actual_o marry_v and_o the_o age_n of_o jaddus_n as_o elder_a than_o he_o from_o all_o these_o together_o it_o be_v reasonable_a to_o conclude_v jaddus_n be_v then_o thirty_o year_n old_a at_o least_o and_o probable_o much_o more_o and_o consequent_o that_o he_o be_v at_o least_o of_o that_o age_n according_a to_o this_o calculation_n the_o last_o year_n of_o longimanus_fw-la but_o nothing_o at_o all_o of_o nehemiah_n live_v thirty_o year_n after_o he_o end_v his_o book_n which_o i_o never_o think_v of_o and_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o any_o man_n but_o our_o author_n to_o conclude_v so_o but_o who_o can_v expect_v otherwise_o from_o a_o author_n who_o pull_v sentence_n to_o piece_n and_o join_v the_o beginning_n and_o end_n together_o and_o leave_v out_o the_o middle_n and_o then_o draw_v inference_n and_o proof_n from_o it_o as_o if_o it_o have_v be_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o person_n against_o who_o he_o dispute_v at_o this_o rate_n he_o may_v make_v i_o say_v and_o confess_v what_o he_o please_v and_o which_o be_v yet_o more_o pleasant_a he_o apply_v this_o very_a sentence_n to_o the_o age_n of_o jaddus_n 9_o p._n 9_o and_o then_o say_v he_o for_o the_o age_n of_o jaddus_n which_o our_o objector_n say_v the_o least_o we_o can_v allow_v be_v thirty_o year_n and_o it_o be_v very_o probable_a it_o be_v much_o more_o but_o then_o how_o come_v this_o to_o be_v apply_v to_o nehemiah_n and_o to_o prove_v as_o our_o author_n undertake_v to_o much_o purpose_n that_o then_o nehemiah_n write_v nine_o year_n before_o any_o of_o those_o thing_n happen_v which_o be_v write_v in_o his_o book_n but_o when_o man_n dispute_v in_o this_o manner_n and_o take_v one_o piece_n of_o a_o sentence_n and_o argue_v against_o it_o in_o one_o place_n and_o take_v another_o piece_n of_o the_o same_o sentence_n and_o argue_v against_o it_o in_o another_o and_o draw_v conclusion_n from_o a_o part_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v draw_v from_o the_o whole_a it_o be_v no_o great_a wonder_n that_o as_o they_o misrepresent_v their_o adversary_n so_o they_o contradict_v themselves_o and_o after_o such_o a_o curious_a strain_n of_o answer_v our_o author_n thus_o grave_o conclude_v now_o this_o i_o think_v our_o author_n can_v not_o mean_v i._n e._n that_o the_o book_n of_o nehemiah_n be_v write_v nine_o year_n before_o the_o thing_n happen_v that_o be_v write_v in_o it_o and_o he_o may_v be_v sure_a of_o it_o and_o therefore_o he_o do_v but_o amuse_v we_o with_o that_o idle_a quotation_n now_o indeed_o the_o quotation_n out_o of_o briet_n be_v i_o but_o the_o reason_n be_v the_o author_n and_o if_o that_o be_v idle_a and_o amuse_v it_o be_v no_o body_n but_o his_o own_o but_o why_o i_o pray_v be_v a_o quotation_n out_o of_o briet_n idle_a be_v he_o a_o author_n so_o very_a trifle_a that_o it_o be_v a_o reproach_n to_o quote_v any_o thing_n out_o of_o he_o but_o our_o author_n have_v the_o most_o expeditious_a method_n of_o clear_v his_o hand_n of_o author_n that_o be_v not_o for_o he_o that_o ever_o i_o meet_v with_o diodorus_n

of_o that_o and_o if_o author_n will_v not_o be_v turn_v off_o in_o this_o manner_n they_o be_v importunate_a and_o troublesome_a for_o our_o author_n be_v not_o at_o leisure_n to_o give_v they_o any_o other_o answer_n he_o add_v howsoever_o as_o if_o he_o have_v prove_v something_o by_o this_o he_o infer_v from_o it_o i_o know_v not_o how_o that_o jaddus_n be_v high_a priest_n the_o last_o

which_o be_v just_a to_o as_o much_o purpose_n as_o to_o call_v englishmen_n saxon_n dane_n or_o norman_n and_o i_o wonder_v why_o he_o may_v not_o for_o the_o same_o reason_n call_v sanballat_n a_o chuthaean_a though_o neither_o he_o nor_o any_o of_o his_o ancestor_n for_o five_o or_o six_o generation_n have_v ever_o see_v that_o country_n and_o josephus_n himself_o plain_o favour_v this_o for_o

chuthaeans_n may_v make_v he_o say_v the_o same_o of_o sanballat_n though_o he_o may_v come_v no_o more_o immediate_o from_o chutha_n than_o the_o samaritan_n themselves_o however_o the_o force_n of_o the_o objection_n do_v not_o lie_v in_o the_o name_n be_v the_o same_o which_o yet_o be_v more_o than_o our_o author_n can_v fair_o answer_v but_o that_o join_v with_o other_o considerable_a

and_o where_o there_o be_v both_o the_o same_o name_n and_o also_o a_o harmony_n of_o such_o and_o so_o many_o extraordinary_a circumstance_n to_o dispute_v whether_o they_o be_v the_o same_o person_n be_v to_o strain_v upon_o the_o ingenuity_n and_o common_a reason_n of_o mankind_n i_o have_v tell_v he_o before_o 9_o answ_n p._n 9_o such_o a_o concurrence_n of_o all_o circumstance_n be_v like_o

of_o it_o but_o of_o this_o our_o author_n take_v no_o manner_n of_o notice_n but_o talk_v of_o the_o strangeness_n that_o there_o shall_v be_v two_o of_o a_o name_n as_o if_o the_o objection_n
