a_o hundred_o eighty_o seven_o male_n in_o the_o world_n at_o the_o birth_n of_o seth_n and_o cain_n according_a to_o my_o former_a supposition_n can_v have_v but_o sixteen_o male_n of_o his_o own_o

4.14_o 16._o now_o seventeen_o male_n will_v constitute_v but_o a_o large_a family_n nor_o be_v it_o to_o be_v suppose_v that_o so_o small_a a_o number_n whereof_o a_o good_a part_n be_v but_o child_n too_o can_v give_v a_o place_n the_o denomination_n on_o of_o a_o city_n or_o of_o a_o town_n though_o we_o shall_v suppose_v it_o such_o a_o one_o as_o caesar_n describe_v our_o british_a town_n at_o

wife_n bare_a enoch_n and_o that_o he_o build_v a_o city_n and_o call_v it_o after_o the_o name_n of_o his_o son_n enoch_n be_v speak_v by_o way_n of_o anticipation_n as_o if_o moses_n shall_v have_v

although_o this_o be_v the_o first_o city_n mention_v yet_o it_o be_v very_o probable_a that_o adam_n build_v the_o first_o city_n be_v so_o much_o long_o in_o the_o world_n at_o man_n estate_n wherein_o he_o be_v create_v as_o to_o be_v cain_n father_n and_o what_o need_n cain_n have_v give_v any_o name_n to_o his_o city_n if_o there_o be_v no_o other_o city_n in_o the_o world_n beside_o for_o name_n be_v for_o distinction_n and_o be_v useless_a where_o there_o be_v but_o one_o of_o a_o kind_n in_o gen._n 9_o it_o be_v say_v of_o sem_fw-mi ham_n and_o japhet_n these_o be_v the_o three_o son_n of_o noah_n and_o of_o they_o be_v the_o whole_a earth_n overspread_v and_o the_o next_o verse_n say_v noah_n begin_v to_o be_v a_o husbandman_n and_o plant_v a_o vineyard_n but_o no_o

cain_n city_n be_v mention_v before_o the_o birth_n of_o irad_n and_o mehujael_n gen._n 4._o yet_o it_o do_v not_o at_o all_o follow_v that_o therefore_o it_o must_v be_v build_v before_o they_o be_v
