know_v what_o it_o be_v that_o the_o doctor_n aim_v at_o in_o all_o this_o he_o himself_o tell_v we_o in_o the_o follow_a section_n in_o short_a he_o will_v have_v the_o book_n of_o chronicle_n 6_o

of_o this_o book_n live_v after_o ezra_n time_n if_o he_o have_v say_v only_o the_o digester_n of_o it_o we_o shall_v have_v take_v the_o less_o notice_n of_o it_o but_o when_o he_o say_v the_o writer_n or_o digester_n we_o see_v plain_o what_o he_o will_v be_v at_o it_o be_v true_a he_o be_v not_o positive_a as_o to_o the_o six_o chapter_n in_o ezra_n but_o s._n 7._o he_o question_n whether_o they_o be_v the_o write_n of_o ezra_n or_o no_o tho'_o he_o grant_v that_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o all_o the_o chapter_n after_o the_o six_o be_v his_o writing_n and_o signify_v plain_o enough_o that_o his_o own_o opinion_n be_v that_o they_o be_v not_o now_o this_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o very_a bold_a stroke_n and_o of_o dangerous_a consequence_n that_o any_o man_n shall_v go_v about_o to_o persuade_v the_o world_n that_o the_o book_n of_o chronicle_n and_o also_o a_o considerable_a part_n of_o the_o book_n of_o ezra_n and_o nehemiah_n be_v not_o write_v till_o after_o their_o death_n if_o i_o may_v use_v the_o doctor_n own_o word_n what_o will_v scaliger_n have_v say_v to_o this_o how_o will_v he_o have_v stand_v amaze_v he_o that_o be_v so_o much_o displease_v with_o the_o german_a divine_n who_o will_v make_v only_o some_o part_n of_o one_o chapter_n in_o nehemiah_n not_o to_o have_v be_v his_o writing_n but_o the_o insertion_n of_o a_o late_a hand_n will_v certain_o have_v much_o more_o dislike_v such_o a_o bold_a attempt_n as_o this_o be_v but_o he_o will_v have_v be_v more_o high_o enrage_v when_o he_o have_v find_v that_o nothing_o be_v offer_v which_o look_v like_o a_o argument_n to_o make_v it_o probable_a that_o the_o writer_n of_o the_o foresay_a book_n or_o part_n of_o scripture_n live_v late_a than_o ezra_n or_o nehemiahs_n the_o doctor_n say_v that_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o two_o first_o verse_n of_o the_o book_n of_o ezra_n be_v the_o very_a same_o word_n for_o word_n with_o the_o two_o last_o of_o the_o second_o book_n of_o chronicle_n but_o every_o one_o see_v what_o a_o strange_a or_o rather_o wild_a consequence_n this_o be_v because_o the_o two_o first_o verse_n of_o the_o book_n of_o ezra_n be_v the_o same_o with_o the_o two_o last_o of_o chronicle_n therefore_o six_o whole_a chapter_n in_o ezra_n be_v the_o write_n of_o one_o that_o live_v late_a than_o ezra_n withal_o how_o appear_v it_o that_o the_o writer_n or_o digester_n of_o the_o second_o book_n of_o chronicle_n live_v after_o ezra_n that_o say_v the_o doctor_n may_v be_v gather_v from_o 1_o chron._n 3._o 17._o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o chapter_n but_o sure_o it_o can_v be_v gather_v from_o 1_o chron._n 3._o 17_o etc._n etc._n that_o the_o writer_n or_o digester_n of_o the_o second_o book_n of_o chronicle_n live_v after_o ezra_n unless_o it_o can_v be_v gather_v thence_o that_o the_o writer_n or_o digester_n of_o the_o first_o book_n of_o chronicle_n live_v late_a than_o he_o it_o must_v then_o be_v the_o doctor_n meaning_n that_o the_o writer_n or_o digester_n of_o both_o the_o book_n of_o chronicle_n live_v after_o ezra_n time_n it_o remain_v then_o that_o we_o examine_v what_o force_n there_o be_v in_o 1_o chron._n 3._o 17_o etc._n etc._n to_o evince_v this_o the_o doctor_n say_v that_o 1_o cbron_n 3._o 17._o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o chapter_n mention_n be_v make_v of_o eight_o generation_n in_o descent_n from_o salathiel_n that_o must_v needs_o imply_v a_o extension_n of_o time_n beyond_o that_o of_o ezra_n he_o bring_v also_o a_o note_n of_o the_o assembly_n of_o divine_n to_o confirm_v this_o as_o to_o which_o note_v it_o will_v suffice_v to_o observe_v 1._o that_o whereas_o the_o doctor_n say_v eight_o generation_n they_o in_o that_o note_n express_v themselves_o more_o cautious_o say_v only_o many_o generation_n for_o it_o be_v not_o clear_v how_o many_o they_o be_v 2._o in_o it_o they_o take_v for_o grant_v that_o the_o generation_n mention_v 1_o chron._n 3._o extend_v beyond_o the_o day_n of_o ezra_n when_o as_o they_o shall_v have_v prove_v it_o 3._o in_o that_o very_o note_v they_o be_v manifest_o against_o the_o doctor_n show_v plain_o that_o it_o can_v be_v gather_v from_o the_o mention_n of_o some_o generation_n which_o as_o they_o suppose_v be_v after_o ezra_n that_o the_o writer_n or_o digester_n of_o the_o book_n of_o chronicle_n live_v after_o his_o time_n for_o say_v they_o ezra_n may_v by_o a_o prophetical_a spirit_n set_v they_o down_o beforehand_o beside_o it_o appear_v from_o those_o word_n that_o they_o incline_v to_o think_v that_o ezra_n himself_o be_v the_o writer_n of_o these_o book_n but_o it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o the_o word_n immediate_o follow_v do_v make_v altogether_o for_o the_o doctor_n for_o they_o say_v that_o some_o other_o prophet_n after_o ezra_n death_n may_v add_v they_o to_o which_o i_o reply_v that_o there_o be_v no_o agreement_n at_o all_o between_o they_o and_o the_o doctor_n for_o 1._o the_o doctor_n say_v positive_o that_o it_o appear_v to_o he_o that_o the_o writer_n or_o digester_n of_o these_o book_n of_o chronicle_n live_v after_o ezra_n time_n they_o say_v only_o that_o some_o prophet_n after_o ezra_n death_n may_v add_v some_o generation_n at_o the_o end_n of_o the_o three_o chapter_n of_o the_o first_o book_n 2._o they_o say_v that_o some_o prophet_n after_o ezra_n death_n may_v add_v they_o as_o the_o death_n and_o burial_n of_o moses_n be_v add_v to_o his_o last_o book_n deut._n 34._o thus_o they_o as_o than_o it_o can_v be_v conclude_v from_o the_o addition_n of_o the_o death_n and_o burial_n of_o moses_n deut._n 34_o that_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o book_n of_o deuteronomy_n be_v not_o write_v by_o moses_n so_o it_o can_v be_v gather_v from_o the_o addition_n of_o a_o generation_n or_o two_o 1_o chron._n 3_o that_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o book_n of_o chronicle_n be_v not_o write_v by_o ezra_n 3._o the_o mention_n of_o add_v they_o after_o ezra_n death_n imply_v that_o the_o book_n to_o which_o they_o be_v add_v be_v write_v before_o his_o death_n this_o note_n then_o clear_o overthrow_v that_o for_o which_o it_o be_v allege_v by_o the_o doctor_n as_o to_o the_o book_n of_o ezra_n the_o doctor_n further_a hint_n that_o in_o the_o preface_n of_o the_o seven_o chapter_n which_o be_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d the_o compiler_n mark_v be_v visible_a thus_o the_o doctor_n s._n 8._o as_o if_o it_o be_v visible_a and_o apparent_a from_o these_o word_n ezra_n 7._o 1._o after_o these_o thing_n that_o we_o owe_v all_o the_o six_o chapter_n forego_v not_o to_o ezra_n himself_o but_o the_o compiler_n or_o as_o if_o ezra_n have_v in_o the_o six_o former_a chapter_n dispatch_v the_o history_n of_o cyrus_n darius_n etc._n etc._n and_o now_o pass_v to_o that_o of_o artaxerxes_n from_o who_o he_o receive_v his_o commission_n may_v not_o use_v this_o note_n of_o connexion_n now_o after_o these_o thing_n how_o frequent_o do_v these_o word_n occur_v as_o in_o the_o history_n of_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n so_o in_o all_o other_o history_n whatsoever_o as_o to_o the_o book_n of_o nehemiah_n the_o doctor_n offer_v nothing_o at_o all_o that_o can_v tend_v to_o prove_v that_o so_o great_a a_o part_n of_o it_o as_o from_o neh._n 11._o 3._o to_o neh._n 12._o 27._o be_v not_o his_o own_o
