multitude_n and_o i_o believe_v more_o than_o be_v in_o the_o world_n at_o this_o day_n viz._n above_o twelve_o hundred_o million_o which_o be_v a_o swift_a way_n of_o increase_a than_o arise_v by_o my_o computation_n for_o in_o 325_o year_n there_o arise_v but_o 116779_o male_n and_o add_v the_o like_a number_n of_o female_n there_o will_v be_v in_o all_o but_o 233558_o which_o yet_o i_o think_v be_v abundant_o sufficient_a to_o answer_v your_o query_n about_o seth_n and_o enos_n though_o there_o be_v but_o half_a this_o number_n or_o which_o be_v all_o one_o if_o i_o have_v suppose_v they_o to_o have_v have_v a_o son_n but_o every_o eight_o year_n the_o only_a seem_a difficulty_n be_v to_o find_v out_o inhabitant_n for_o cain_n city_n for_o by_o my_o computation_n i_o can_v make_v but_o 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 say_v this_o be_v that_o enoch_n who_o name_n cain_n give_v to_o the_o city_n which_o he_o afterward_o build_v in_o process_n of_o time_n when_o his_o posterity_n begin_v to_o increase_v and_o 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 rational_a man_n can_v conclude_v from_o hence_o that_o the_o whole_a earth_n be_v people_v before_o noah_n begin_v to_o be_v a_o husbandman_n and_o plant_v a_o vineyard_n so_o i_o say_v although_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

mention_v of_o noah_n son_n and_o you_o yourself_o instance_n in_o your_o letter_n in_o this_o history_n of_o cain_n and_o his_o posterity_n which_o moses_n seem_v to_o clap_v in_o a_o parenthesis_n and_o suppose_v enoch_n the_o son_n of_o cain_n to_o be_v contemporary_a with_o seth_n though_o it_o be_v probable_a he_o be_v something_o late_a the_o parallel_n will_v run_v thus_o seth_n

contemporary_a with_o tubal_n cain_n methuselah_n contemporary_a with_o lamech_v contemporary_a with_o noah_n contemporary_a with_o and_o yet_o the_o history_n of_o tubal_n cain_n be_v dispatch_v before_o seth_n be_v speak_v of_o though_o he_o be_v contemporary_a with_o enoch_n who_o be_v five_o generation_n remove_v from_o seth_n so_o that_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n to_o conclude_v that_o cain_n city_n be_v build_v before_o irad_n be_v bear_v only_o because_o it_o precede_v in_o the_o history_n and_o perhaps_o it_o be_v not_o build_v in_o a_o hundred_o year_n after_o nor_o receive_v the_o name_n of_o enoch_n many_o year_n after_o that_o till_o such_o time_n as_o there_o be_v more_o city_n in_o the_o world_n and_o cain_n himself_o grow_v old_a and_o weary_a of_o the_o splendid_a
