5.6 105 325 Cainan was born Gen. 5.9 90 395 Mahalaleel was born Gen. 5.12 70 460 Jared was born Gen. 5.15 65 622 Enoch was born Gen. 5 18. 162 687 Methuselah was born Gen. 5.21 65 874 Lamech was born Gen. 5.25 187 1056 Noah was born Gen. 5.28,29 182 1558 Shem was born Gen. 5.32 with cap. 7,6 ca. 8.13 ca. 11.10 Though it is said Gen. 5.32 that Noah was 500 years old and begat Shem Ham and Japhet the meaning is not that they were all born at a birth but that then he began to beget Now that Shem was not born before two years after appears in that it is said Gen. 11.10 That Shem at one hundred years old begat Arphaxad two years after the flood And Gen. 7.6 that Noah was 600 years old when the flood came 502 1658 Arphaxad was born Gen. 11.10 100 1693 Salah was born Gen. 11.12 35 1723 Eber was born Gen. 11.14 30 1757 Perug was born Gen. 11.16 34 1787 Reu was born Gen. 11.18 30 1819 Serug was born Gen. 11.20 32 1849 Nahor was born Gen. 11.22 30 1878 Terah was born Gen. 11.24 29 2008 Abraham was born Abraham could not be the eldest Son though he be placed first Gen. 11.26 but he was born 60 years after as appears by comparing Gen. 11.32 with c. 12.4 whereby it appears that Terah lived 200 and five years at whose death Abraham was seventy five years old which being substracted from 205. there remains 130. 130 2083 The Covenant was made with Abraham Gen. 12.4 75 2108 Isaac was

stood before Pharaoh 30 yearâ— Gen. 41 46. When Jacob came to Egypt 39 years for the seven years of plenty and two of famine were past Gen. 45.6 so as Joseph was born when Jacob was 91 years old 130 2369 Joseph died Gen. 50.26 Which is cleareâ— thus Joseph was at his fathers coming into Egypt as before 39 years Jacob lived in Egypt 17 years Gen. 47.28 so as at his father death he was 54 years that is in all 110 years Gen 50.26 Add the 17 and 54 together it maketh 71. 71 2433 Moses was born This is proved after 64 2513 Israel went up out of Egypt when Moses was 80 years old Exod. 7.7 This must be so because he lived in all but 120 years whereof 40 were spent in the wilderness Deut. 34.7 with cap. 29.5 So as from the Covenant made with Abraham to the Israelites coming up out of Egypt is 430 years according to that in Gen. 12.41 with Gal. 3.17 which proves the time between the death of Joseph to the birth of Moses to be 64 years 80 2553 The Israelites entred into Canaan under the conduct of Joshuah Josh 5.6
A good help for weak Memories Or the CONTENTS Of every CHAPTER In the Bible In Alphabetical Dysticks Being very profitable for such as desire to repeat Books or find out divers places in the Scriptures especially in the Historical BOOKS Whereunto is added the Order of Times wherein the Prophesies and New TESTAMENT were penned As also A CHRONOLOGY from ADAM to the destruction of Jerusalem by Titus Vespasian With other Scriptural Passages made easie to be remembred LONDON Printed for Thomas Helder at the Sign of the Angel in Little Britain 1671. To the Reader READER MEeting long since with a little Latine Book called Gemma Fabri being Alphabetical Dysticks upon the Bible I was strongly perswaded that something of that nature in English would be very profitable towards the remembring repeating and finding out of places of Scriptures especially of the Historical part This moved me to prevail with some whom I found inclined to Poetry to spend their spare minutes this way and to contribute mine own mite to the perfecting of what is now come by Gods assistance to their view wherein if thou expectest a Poetical flash thou wilt be disappointed neither is it possible where a person is tied to matter Laconick brevity and initiating Letters Possibly the benefit of this tract may not appear to thy first glance be not discouraged labour to hit the design and thou mayst find the book answering its Title for thy help take these few directions as a Key to it 1. Are you desirous to have a Boy or Girl of ten years or upwards to tell you in what Chapter any Historical passage is let him read one Chapter every day in order and learn the Dystick or two lines which are the Contents thereof When he hath learned twenty Dysticks or more examine him of particular passages in the Chapters he hath past as in what Chapter is set forth Sarahs barrenness he presently calls to mind this Dystick Quell'd's Sarahs hope of Seed Hagar doth scorn Her Mistress flies returns Ishmael's born He considereth that Q is the first letter in the Dystick which is the sixteenth in the Christ-cross-row thence he concludes it must be in the sixteenth or thirty sixth Chapter of Genesis I have known two children who by this easie task in half a years time would hardly miss any Historical passage from the first of Genesis to the end of Ruth 2. Will you find some Historical passage and cannot say these Verses by heart as the churlishness of Nabal c. your acquaintance with the Scriptures assures you it is in the first book of Samuel then turn to the verses which contain the contents of that book and you shall find it assoon as in a Concordance and many times sooner this I know to be a truth upon mine own experience 3. Will you cull out a Psalm upon some particular occasion read over the verses which contain the substance of the Psalms until you meet with what you seek for 4. Would you teach a Child or Servant a Scripture against some common sin as drunkenness lying c. or in praise of some moral virtue or duty read over the Verses on the Proverbs c. and you will soon have your desire 5. Do you desire to have your youth to repeat the History of any book in the Bible in order Let him read it with deliberation and learn the verses on that book and he will do it to your content Time and experience may furnish you with other advantages I have no more but to request your charitable interpretation of what the importunity of many hath made publike If this answer not your expectation the loss cannot be much If it prove any way beneficial to you or yours the end is answered Let him have your Prayers who is Your friend in the Lord J.
