to_o the_o conflagration_n of_o sodom_n and_o the_o other_o city_n of_o the_o plain_a 31_o but_o however_o the_o gentile_n be_v not_o ignorant_a of_o this_o miracle_n as_o may_v be_v see_v by_o that_o

reason_n why_o the_o gentile_a writer_n make_v little_a mention_n of_o the_o jewish_a affair_n and_o miracle_n partly_o out_o of_o ignorance_n as_o know_v little_a or_o nothing_o of_o the_o jew_n because_o they_o be_v not_o a_o people_n give_v to_o travel_n or_o merchandise_v and_o dwell_v not_o in_o maritime_a town_n and_o partly_o out_o of_o malice_n to_o that_o nation_n they_o conceal_v

those_o that_o shall_v have_v keep_v they_o be_v lose_v both_o among_o the_o gentile_n and_o the_o jew_n as_o those_o book_n of_o the_o king_n of_o judah_n and_o israel_n which_o be_v only_o name_v in_o scripture_n you_o reject_v the_o testimony_n of_o 2._o herodotus_n concern_v the_o return_v of_o the_o sun_n which_o he_o call_v the_o rise_n of_o the_o sun_n in_o the_o west_n because_o he_o

from_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n yet_o you_o will_v not_o deny_v but_o that_o they_o have_v some_o knowledge_n of_o the_o creation_n and_o that_o their_o relation_n of_o it_o be_v true_a the_o chaldean_n and_o egyptian_n reckon_v 432._o thousand_o year_n before_o the_o flood_n will_v you_o therefore_o say_v they_o have_v no_o knowledge_n of_o the_o flood_n the_o septuagint_n reckon_v

but_o most_o of_o they_o also_o follow_v their_o supputation_n and_o how_o do_v you_o know_v but_o that_o herodotus_n number_n of_o year_n may_v agree_v well_o enough_o with_o we_o see_v divers_a country_n do_v reckon_v their_o year_n diverse_o the_o arcadian_a year_n consist_v but_o of_o three_o month_n the_o acarnanian_a of_o six_o the_o roman_a at_o first_o but_o of_o ten_o the_o egyptian_a

therefore_o doubtless_o herodotus_n year_n be_v either_o arcadian_a or_o egyptian_a and_o so_o compare_v they_o with_o our_o year_n you_o will_v find_v that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o odds_n as_o you_o make_v and_o that_o in_o speak_v of_o the_o sun_n retrogradation_n he_o have_v not_o reference_n to_o the_o time_n that_o never_o be_v and_o whereas_o you_o say_v
