not_o ashamed_a of_o this_o argument_n whereof_o the_o whole_a strength_n lie_v on_o the_o signification_n of_o the_o hebrew_n word_n beeber_n indeed_o if_o beeber_n signify_v only_o trans_fw-la

nought_o we_o must_v therefore_o for_o clear_v of_o this_o matter_n inquire_v what_o beeber_n signify_v and_o first_o i_o grant_v that_o beeber_n do_v some_o time_n signify_v trans_z beyond_o i_o

that_o order_n as_o p._n simon_n will_v have_v it_o and_o we_o ought_v to_o read_v the_o three_o verse_n aforesaid_a backward_o because_o the_o jew_n in_o this_o age_n do_v not_o name_v their_o child_n till_o after_o their_o circumcision_n but_o can_v p._n simon_n prove_v that_o in_o abraham_n time_n child_n be_v not_o name_v till_o after_o their_o circumcision_n may_v they_o not_o be_v number_v at_o their_o circumcision_n yea_o or_o before_o their_o circumcision_n in_o abraham_n time_n god_n leave_v it_o free_a unto_o abraham_n and_o his_o posterity_n to_o name_v their_o child_n at_o what_o time_n they_o please_v before_o at_z or_o after_o their_o circumcision_n and_o no_o man_n live_a can_v prove_v that_o in_o abraham_n time_n people_n be_v bind_v to_o name_v their_o child_n after_o their_o circumcision_n or_o that_o they_o general_o use_v so_o to_o do_v such_o argument_n as_o this_o of_o p._n simons_n deserve_v no_o answer_n but_o to_o be_v hiss_v at_o and_o his_o immodesty_n in_o say_v that_o the_o sacred_a historian_n ought_v to_o have_v keep_v the_o order_n he_o speak_v of_o be_v to_o be_v lament_v by_o all_o that_o desire_v to_o fear_v god_n three_o he_o object_n gen._n 31._o 46._o this_o verse_n say_v he_o be_v methinks_v likewise_o out_o of_o its_o order_n as_o well_o as_o all_o the_o discourse_n which_o treat_v of_o the_o covenant_n between_o jacob_n and_o laban_n because_o they_o do_v not_o eat_v till_o the_o alliance_n be_v make_v answer_v here_o be_v a_o argument_n little_o better_o than_o the_o former_a only_o it_o be_v more_o modest_o propose_v they_o do_v not_o eat_v till_o the_o alliance_n be_v make_v ergo_fw-la all_fw-mi the_o discourse_n which_o treat_v of_o the_o covenant_n between_o jacob_n and_o laban_n be_v out_o of_o its_o order_n any_o man_n that_o attentive_o read_v the_o text_n of_o moses_n will_v conclude_v the_o quite_o contrary_a that_o see_v they_o do_v not_o eat_v till_o the_o alliance_n be_v make_v therefore_o all_o the_o discouse_n that_o treat_v of_o the_o covenant_n etc._n etc._n be_v in_o its_o order_n because_o it_o be_v all_o set_v down_o before_o the_o offering_n of_o sacrifice_n or_o kill_v of_o beast_n and_o eat_v of_o bread_n mention_v verse_n 54._o as_o for_o verse_n 46._o there_o be_v nothing_o affirm_v in_o it_o but_o what_o be_v most_o true_a it_o be_v most_o true_a that_o jacob_n brethren_n gather_v stone_n it_o be_v most_o true_a that_o they_o make_v a_o heap_n and_o it_o be_v as_o true_a that_o they_o do_v eat_v there_o upon_o the_o heap_n but_o say_v p._n simon_n they_o do_v not_o eat_v till_o the_o alliance_n be_v make_v i_o answer_v nor_o do_v the_o historian_n say_v in_o verse_n 46._o that_o they_o do_v eat_v before_o the_o covenant_n be_v make_v there_o he_o only_o say_v that_o they_o do_v eat_v upon_o the_o heap_n but_o do_v not_o say_v when_o and_o a_o little_a after_o in_o verse_n 54._o he_o tell_v we_o when_o it_o be_v they_o eat_v upon_o the_o heap_n to_o wit_n after_o the_o covenant_n be_v make_v so_o that_o here_o be_v nothing_o to_o cavil_v at_o and_o find_v fault_n with_o only_o the_o same_o thing_n be_v twice_o express_v in_o somewhat_o different_a word_n first_o the_o matter_n of_o fact_n be_v relate_v in_o general_a without_o tell_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o it_o verse_n 46._o they_o take_v stone_n and_o make_v a_o heap_n and_o they_o do_v eat_v there_o upon_o the_o heap_n second_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o heap_n of_o stone_n and_o of_o their_o eat_n upon_o the_o heap_n be_v clear_v up_o and_o the_o time_n mention_v when_o they_o eat_v upon_o the_o heap_n there_o it_o be_v show_v that_o the_o heap_n of_o stone_n be_v by_o agreement_n between_o jacob_n and_o laban_n ordain_v to_o be_v a_o witness_n or_o token_n of_o the_o covenant_n between_o they_o two_o and_o their_o eat_n upon_o the_o heap_n be_v clear_o employ_v to_o have_v be_v a_o federal_a feast_n signify_v and_o seal_v up_o a_o last_a friendship_n between_o the_o party_n covenant_v and_o last_o of_o all_o it_o be_v express_o declare_v when_o this_o feast_n upon_o the_o heap_n of_o stone_n be_v to_o wit_n after_o the_o covenant_n between_o jacob_n and_o laban_n be_v make_v and_o confirm_v by_o the_o oath_n of_o both_o party_n verse_n 53_o 54._o to_o conclude_v this_o answer_n let_v it_o be_v consider_v that_o verse_n 46_o speak_v only_o of_o the_o place_n where_o they_o eat_v without_o mention_v the_o time_n when_o but_o verse_n 54_o speak_v only_o of_o the_o time_n when_o they_o eat_v without_o mention_v the_o place_n where_o that_o be_v without_o mention_v that_o it_o be_v upon_o the_o heap_n of_o stone_n and_o now_o why_o moses_n yea_o why_o god_n holy_a spirit_n may_v not_o be_v the_o author_n of_o both_o these_o 46_o and_o 54_o verse_n and_o of_o all_o that_o come_v between_o they_o it_o be_v above_o my_o capacity_n to_o understand_v i_o dare_v challenge_v any_o man_n to_o bring_v a_o argument_n from_o this_o place_n to_o prove_v that_o moses_n can_v not_o be_v the_o author_n of_o the_o pentateuch_n a_o argument_n i_o say_v that_o any_o man_n of_o judgement_n will_v not_o be_v ashamed_a of_o four_o he_o object_n gen._n 35._o 28_o 29._o the_o death_n of_o isaac_n there_o relate_v seem_v to_o be_v out_o of_o its_o place_n say_v p._n simon_n because_o isaac_n die_v not_o at_o that_o time_n and_o that_o joseph_n be_v sell_v twelve_o year_n before_o the_o death_n of_o isaac_n yet_o nevertheless_o the_o history_n of_o joseph_n begin_v but_o at_o the_o 37th_o chapter_n of_o the_o same_o book_n i_o answer_v the_o death_n of_o isaac_n have_v that_o place_n in_o the_o history_n which_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n think_v fit_a to_o assign_v unto_o it_o and_o that_o we_o shall_v account_v to_o be_v its_o place_n which_o god_n wisdom_n by_o his_o prophet_n have_v put_v it_o in_o but_o say_v p._n simon_n isaac_n die_v not_o at_o that_o time_n i_o answer_v there_o be_v no_o other_o time_n of_o his_o death_n mention_v there_o but_o that_o after_o he_o be_v one_o hundred_o and_o eighty_o year_n old_a he_o die_v and_o be_v bury_v which_o be_v most_o true_a but_o it_o be_v not_o at_o all_o say_v by_o the_o sacred_a historian_n that_o isaac_n die_v at_o that_o time_n when_o his_o son_n jacob_n come_v unto_o he_o unto_o mamre_n for_o that_o have_v be_v false_a and_o i_o desire_v this_o may_v be_v take_v notice_n of_o but_o say_v p._n simon_n joseph_n be_v sell_v twelve_o year_n before_o the_o death_n of_o isaac_n and_o yet_o the_o history_n of_o joseph_n begin_v but_o at_o the_o 37th_o chapter_n of_o the_o same_o book_n i_o answer_v this_o be_v indeed_o true_a for_o isaac_n be_v sixty_o year_n old_a when_o jacob_n be_v bear_v gen._n 25._o 26._o and_o jacob_n be_v one_o hundred_o and_o thirty_o

age_n of_o isaac_n who_o die_v when_o he_o be_v one_o hundred_o and_o eighty_o year_n old_a that_o be_v ten_o year_n before_o jacob_n stand_v before_o pharaoh_n so_o that_o isaac_n must_v have_v die_v about_o the_o time_n of_o joseph_n advancement_n in_o egypt_n as_o appear_v from_o gen._n 41._o 53_o 54._o compare_v with_o gen._n 45._o 6._o where_o we_o see_v that_o seven_o year_n of_o plenty_n and_o two_o year_n of_o famine_n have_v pass_v from_o the_o time_n of_o joseph_n advancement_n until_o the_o time_n of_o jacob_n come_v into_o egypt_n isaac_n then_o live_v one_o hundred_o and_o eighty_o year_n can_v not_o die_v till_o about_o the_o time_n of_o joseph_n advancement_n either_o the_o year_n of_o his_o advancement_n or_o the_o year_n before_o his_o advancement_n and_o if_o it_o be_v the_o year_n before_o his_o advancement_n that_o isaac_n die_v than_o it_o be_v about_o twelve_o year_n after_o joseph_n be_v sell_v that_o isaac_n die_v for_o joseph_n be_v seventeen_o year_n

be_v all_o this_o to_o the_o purpose_n this_o do_v not_o prove_v that_o the_o relation_n of_o the_o death_n of_o isaac_n be_v out_o of_o its_o place_n for_o as_o i_o have_v say_v that_o be_v its_o
