cause_n of_o the_o diversity_n be_v this_o word_n arba_n which_o in_o his_o usual_a and_o proper_a signification_n signife_v the_o number_n which_o the_o latin_n call_v quatuor_fw-la hebron_n it_o

they_o allege_v out_o of_o the_o .14_o chap._n of_o josua_n make_v nothing_o to_o the_o purpose_n for_o that_o the_o word_n adam_n in_o that_o place_n be_v not_o the_o name_n of_o the_o first_o man_n wherefore_o they_o can_v gather_v nothing_o out_o of_o that_o place_n but_o that_o arba_n be_v a_o certain_a great_a man_n among_o the_o anakim_v these_o be_v the_o word_n there_o ha_o adam_n hagadol_n be_v anakim_n hui_o that_o be_v he_o be_v a_o great_a man_n among_o the_o enakim_v but_o our_o interpreter_n translate_v it_o thus_o adam_n be_v count_v the_o great_a among_o the_o enakim_v whereby_o it_o appear_v that_o he_o think_v that_o adam_n be_v a_o proper_a name_n but_o he_o be_v two_o way_n deceive_v first_o he_o do_v not_o mark_v that_o the_o article_n ha_o be_v join_v to_o the_o word_n adam_n which_o be_v never_o join_v with_o proper_a name_n wherefore_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o common_a name_n which_o must_v be_v refer_v to_o that_o word_n arba_n for_o that_o name_n be_v put_v a_o little_a before_o the_o other_o error_n be_v because_o we_o read_v not_o where_o that_o the_o first_o man_n be_v reckon_v among_o the_o enakim_v that_o be_v to_o say_v giant_n the_o opinion_n of_o other_o be_v that_o hebron_n be_v call_v the_o city_n arba_n because_o it_o be_v inhabit_v of_o .4_o giant_n namely_o sesay_n ahimman_n and_o thalmay_v unto_o which_o three_o brethren_n they_o add_v annak_n their_o parent_n but_o the_o opinion_n of_o these_o man_n be_v easy_o confute_v because_o that_o in_o the_o .14_o chap._n of_o josua_n towards_o the_o end_n it_o be_v by_o manifest_a word_n declare_v that_o this_o word_n arba_n be_v the_o proper_a name_n of_o a_o giant_n wherefore_o it_o be_v manifest_a enough_o that_o this_o word_n must_v not_o be_v refer_v to_o the_o number_n of_o four_o and_o by_o that_o mean_v not_o only_o this_o latter_a sentence_n but_o the_o first_o also_o be_v confute_v which_o will_v have_v this_o name_n arba_n to_o have_v a_o respect_n to_o the_o four_o couple_n of_o man_n with_o their_o wyve_n bury_v in_o the_o old_a time_n in_o that_o city_n and_o undoubted_o for_o the_o same_o cause_n also_o the_o opinion_n of_o other_o be_v not_o to_o be_v allow_v which_o do_v think_v that_o the_o city_n be_v so_o call_v because_o although_o it_o be_v but_o one_o city_n yet_o it_o consist_v of_o four_o city_n and_o that_o this_o word_n arba_n be_v all_o one_o with_o this_o greek_a word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d which_o be_v four_o city_n wherefore_o i_o judge_v it_o best_o to_o think_v that_o it_o be_v so_o name_v of_o the_o builder_n thereof_o name_v arba_n child_n arba_n have_v three_o child_n who_o how_o he_o come_v by_o that_o surname_n it_o be_v uncertain_a only_o this_o we_o may_v gather_v out_o of_o the_o scripture_n that_o what_o so_o ever_o he_o be_v he_o have_v three_o child_n which_o be_v call_v in_o this_o place_n and_o also_o in_o the_o book_n of_o josua_n sehai_n ahimman_n and_o thalmay_n and_o it_o be_v very_o likely_a that_o they_o be_v dead_a long_a time_n before_o josua_n and_o when_o they_o be_v now_o dead_a than_o be_v there_o mention_v make_v of_o they_o because_o their_o family_n which_o seem_v to_o have_v be_v of_o a_o wonderful_a huge_a stature_n be_v destroy_v by_o caleb_n and_o othoniel_n and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o i_o suppose_v that_o these_o three_o brethren_n live_v not_o in_o caleb_n and_o othoniels_n time_n because_o this_o city_n as_o it_o be_v write_v in_o the_o book_n of_o number_n be_v a_o most_o ancient_a city_n and_o be_v build_v vii_o year_n before_o zoham_n that_o be_v thamin_n the_o kingly_a city_n of_o the_o egyptian_n and_o in_o zoham_n do_v moses_n and_o aaron_n work_v the_o wonder_n before_o pharaoh_n and_o if_o so_o be_v it_o be_v the_o kingly_a and_o noble_a city_n then_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v build_v long_a time_n before_o wherefore_o if_o hebron_n be_v build_v before_o it_o and_o have_v the_o name_n thereof_o of_o arba_n how_o can_v his_o child_n be_v on_o live_v at_o this_o time_n it_o can_v be_v so_o beside_o this_o abraham_n have_v a_o lodging_n in_o this_o city_n &_o buy_v there_o a_o double_a cave_n and_o from_o that_o time_n to_o josua_n his_o time_n be_v almost_o .400_o year_n it_o be_v not_o therefore_o very_o likely_a that_o the_o son_n of_o he_o which_o build_v so_o ancient_a a_o city_n shall_v live_v till_o josua_n his_o time_n unless_o any_o man_n will_v fain_v that_o the_o same_o city_n be_v build_v long_a time_n before_o &_o call_v by_o a_o other_o name_n &_o then_o in_o process_n of_o time_n cast_v away_o the_o first_o name_n it_o shall_v be_v name_v by_o this_o most_o strong_a and_o mighty_a giant_n but_o whether_o it_o be_v thus_o or_o no_o neither_o skill_v it_o much_o neither_o seem_v it_o curious_o to_o be_v seek_v for_o but_o this_o might_n somewhat_o move_v some_o because_o arba_n whereof_o we_o now_o speak_v be_v call_v in_o the_o .15_o chap._n of_o josua_n the_o father_n of_o enak_n for_o if_o he_o have_v .3_o son_n which_o be_v name_v as_o well_o here_o as_o in_o the_o same_o book_n of_o josua_n it_o will_v then_o he_o doubtful_a who_o that_o same_o enak_n be_v signify_v what_o hanack_n signify_v in_o which_o thing_n save_v the_o judgement_n of_o a_o better_o learn_v i_o will_v think_v may_v be_v answer_v that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o proper_a name_n but_o a_o common_a whereby_o at_o that_o time_n man_n of_o huge_a stature_n but_o such_o as_o be_v noble_a &_o excellent_o adourn_v be_v call_v for_o this_o word_n enak_n in_o hebrewe_n be_v to_o gird_v or_o to_o compass_v and_o be_v chief_o refer_v to_o chain_n which_o be_v wear_v about_o the_o neck_n for_o comeliness_n sake_n and_o thereof_o be_v this_o name_n enak_n

because_o every_o one_o of_o his_o son_n be_v noble_a enakim_n why_o giant_n be_v call_v enakim_n &_o wear_v a_o chain_n or_o be_v a_o giant_n for_o giant_n also_o be_v call_v enakim_n either_o

of_o they_o be_v mention_v also_o make_v in_o the_o book_n of_o number_n .13_o chapter_n scripture_n by_o how_o many_o name_n giant_n be_v call_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n see_v we_o be_v now_o by_o chance_n in_o hand_n with_o giant_n and_o that_o there_o be_v often_o mention_v make_v of_o they_o in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n it_o shall_v not_o be_v unprofitable_a somewhat_o to_o speak_v of_o they_o first_o we_o must_v know_v that_o they_o be_v call_v by_o diverse_a name_n in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n as_o enakim_n eimim_n zemasmim_n nefalim_fw-la rephaim_n why_o they_o be_v call_v enakim_n manifest_o appear_v by_o those_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v speak_v before_o and_o they_o be_v call_v eimim_a of_o the_o terror_n which_o they_o drive_v into_o other_o by_o their_o look_n they_o be_v call_v zemasmim_a of_o mischief_n because_o they_o trust_v to_o their_o own_o power_n and_o might_n be_v despiser_n of_o law_n justice_n and_o
thing_n against_o it_o as_o he_o say_v that_o he_o be_v call_v the_o son_n of_o jephuna_n sometime_o how_o the_o hebrews_n use_v this_o word_n son_n sometime_o when_o as_o in_o the_o holy_a

&_o turn_v away_o from_o the_o counsel_n &_o wicked_a will_n of_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o spy_n i_o will_v not_o deny_v peradventure_o but_o that_o this_o opinion_n of_o r._n s._n be_v pretty_a be_v many_o of_o the_o hebrews_n have_v two_o name_n what_o othoniel_n be_v but_o yet_o i_o think_v it_o make_v nothing_o to_o the_o purpose_n for_o other_o seem_v to_o speak_v more_o simple_o which_o say_v that_o hesron_n be_v also_o call_v jephuna_n wherefore_o chaleb_n be_v sometime_o call_v the_o son_n of_o jephuna_n and_o sometime_o the_o son_n of_o hesron_n neither_o be_v it_o a_o rare_a

the_o son_n of_o jacob_n wherefore_o we_o must_v speak_v somewhat_o of_o othoniel_n he_o be_v here_o write_v to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o kenaz_n and_o so_o be_v he_o likewise_o in_o the_o book_n of_o

namely_o to_o be_v a_o good_a warrior_n to_o be_v religious_a and_o learned_a but_o now_o see_v his_o father_n name_n be_v kenaz_n together_o what_o kin_n chaleb_n &_o othoniel_n be_v together_o &_o chaleb_n have_v hesron_n or_o jephuna_n to_o his_o father_n how_o near_o of_o kin_n be_v they_o then_o some_o hold_n opinion_n that_o kenaz_v when_o hesron_n or_o jephuna_n be_v dead_a marry_v his_o
