time_n levi_n come_v into_o egypt_n with_o his_o father_n and_o the_o number_n of_o 40._o year_n will_v be_v complete_a i_o note_v second_o that_o if_o we_o grant_v levi_n to_o have_v be_v 100_o year_n old_a before_o he_o beget_v caath_v and_o affirm_v the_o same_o of_o caath_n and_o amram_n which_o thing_n surpass_v the_o course_n of_o nature_n ge._n 17._o v._n 17._o and_o therefore_o need_v

i_o note_v three_o that_o if_o we_o grant_v caath_v amram_n and_o moses_n to_o have_v be_v beget_v in_o a_o competent_a age_n we_o shall_v easy_o find_v the_o number_n of_o 215._o year_n which_o eusebius_n and_o marianus_n scotus_n have_v put_v down_o an_o other_o probation_n of_o this_o difficulty_n jochebed_n be_v the_o own_o daughter_n of_o levi_n and_o the_o natural_a mother_n of_o moses_n for_o so_o we_o read_v in_o the_o 26._o chapter_n of_o the_o book_n of_o number_n and_o in_o the_o sixth_o chapter_n of_o the_o book_n of_o exodus_fw-la and_o yet_o if_o we_o grant_v levi_n to_o have_v be_v 120._o year_n old_a when_o he_o beget_v jochebed_n and_o jochebed_n to_o have_v be_v 100_o year_n old_a at_o the_o birth_n of_o moses_n both_o which_o be_v impossible_a by_o the_o course_n of_o nature_n and_o if_o we_o add_v thereunto_o eighty_o year_n the_o full_a age_n of_o moses_n at_o the_o departure_n out_o of_o egypt_n yet_o will_v all_o this_o be_v no_o more_o but_o bare_a 300._o year_n so_o then_o we_o be_v short_a of_o the_o supputation_n mention_v in_o genesis_n by_o one_o full_a hundred_o year_n and_o of_o the_o reckon_n specify_v in_o exodus_fw-la by_o a_o hundred_o and_o thirty_o year_n therefore_o the_o undoubted_a meaning_n of_o those_o scripture_n must_v needs_o be_v as_o i_o have_v already_o show_v the_o corollary_n first_o therefore_o since_o moses_n bring_v the_o israelite_n out_o of_o egypt_n second_o since_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o jochebed_n three_o since_o jochebed_n be_v the_o daughter_n of_o levi_n four_o since_o levi_n be_v with_o jacob_n at_o his_o go_v into_o egypt_n we_o must_v perforce_o deduce_v the_o time_n of_o their_o abode_n from_o levi_n jochebed_n and_o moses_n let_v we_o therefore_o assign_v 85._o year_n to_o levi_n when_o he_o beget_v jochebed_n 50._o year_n to_o jochebed_n when_o she_o bear_v moses_n and_o 80._o year_n to_o moses_n when_o he_o bring_v they_o out_o of_o egypt_n which_o be_v as_o much_o as_o can_v be_v grant_v by_o the_o course_n of_o nature_n and_o we_o shall_v find_v the_o just_a number_n of_o 215._o year_n and_o so_o the_o supputation_n of_o this_o three_o age_n be_v consonant_a
