though_o operate_a different_o in_o several_a faculty_n and_o operation_n i_o therefore_o experimental_o feel_v that_o my_o soul_n though_o it_o have_v the_o residence_n of_o the_o exercise_n of_o

that_o common_a denomination_n this_o therefore_o single_o consider_v namely_o the_o denomination_n of_o people_n from_o some_o one_o person_n be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o assure_v we_o that_o all_o those_o person_n that_o bear_v that_o denomination_n be_v derive_v by_o natural_a propagation_n from_o he_o who_o name_n they_o so_o bear_v but_o though_o it_o may_v be_v true_a that_o such_o a_o

i_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o conclude_v that_o wheresoever_o i_o find_v a_o society_n of_o man_n bear_v the_o denomination_n of_o one_o man_n that_o that_o man_n be_v the_o natural_a parent_n of_o those_o that_o bear_v that_o denomination_n unless_o i_o have_v some_o better_a evidence_n than_o allusion_n of_o name_n since_o it_o be_v apparent_a in_o these_o history_n that_o it_o be_v otherwise_o upon_o this_o reason_n it_o seem_v plain_a that_o it_o will_v not_o be_v possible_a from_o any_o profane_a history_n to_o find_v the_o original_a parent_n of_o any_o one_o kingdom_n much_o less_o of_o mankind_n it_o be_v very_o evident_a indeed_o that_o by_o help_n of_o a_o continuation_n of_o profane_a history_n or_o other_o common_a monument_n well_o keep_v together_o the_o genealogy_n and_o ramification_n of_o some_o single_a family_n even_o to_o a_o vast_a and_o numerous_a extension_n may_v be_v preserve_v but_o that_o will_v not_o do_v the_o business_n that_o i_o intend_v for_o it_o be_v rare_a and_o beyond_o example_n in_o any_o author_n that_o i_o know_v that_o the_o entire_a and_o complete_a pedigree_n of_o the_o whole_a descendants_n of_o any_o

at_o least_o five_o thousand_o year_n old_a or_o otherwise_o i_o shall_v fail_v in_o the_o application_n of_o this_o topick_n now_o in_o hand_n to_o the_o matter_n in_o question_n it_o remain_v therefore_o that_o for_o instance_n of_o such_o antiquity_n useful_a to_o my_o purpose_n i_o must_v resort_v to_o the_o ancient_a history_n namely_o the_o history_n of_o moses_n which_o as_o it_o be_v a_o history_n of_o the_o ancient_a time_n and_o occurrence_n in_o the_o world_n so_o it_o be_v a_o history_n that_o be_v write_v at_o the_o great_a distance_n from_o this_o time_n and_o near_o to_o the_o time_n and_o thing_n whereof_o he_o write_v no_o history_n in_o the_o world_n be_v so_o ancient_a as_o this_o by_o near_o eight_o hundred_o year_n for_o so_o long_o live_v moses_n the_o author_n of_o this_o book_n before_o homer_n the_o first_o profane_a historian_n that_o be_v extant_a and_o if_o any_o man_n shall_v object_v against_o the_o competency_n of_o this_o instance_n 1._o because_o the_o same_o moses_n who_o i_o use_v in_o this_o topick_n be_v the_o person_n that_o assert_v the_o thing_n de_fw-fr quo_fw-la ambigitur_fw-la namely_o the_o first_o production_n of_o mankind_n and_o therefore_o that_o he_o be_v incompetent_a in_o this_o case_n 2._o because_o all_o that_o urge_v the_o testimony_n of_o moses_n urge_v he_o as_o infallible_a divine_o inspire_v and_o so_o whatsoever_o he_o say_v must_v not_o be_v contradict_v and_o upon_o such_o a_o supposition_n there_o be_v a_o compendious_a way_n of_o evince_v the_o question_n in_o hand_n of_o the_o inception_n of_o mankind_n by_o tell_v we_o that_o moses_n who_o write_v by_o a_o infallible_a spirit_n and_o inspiration_n tell_v we_o that_o mankind_n be_v create_v by_o god_n about_o 6669_o year_n since_o according_a to_o the_o seventy_o and_o so_o there_o need_v no_o far_a reason_n nor_o can_v be_v any_o far_a controversy_n touch_v it_o to_o this_o i_o shall_v say_v these_o thing_n that_o although_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o moses_n be_v inspire_v by_o a_o infallible_a spirit_n in_o what_o he_o write_v and_o that_o he_o do_v in_o plain_a term_n tell_v we_o that_o man_n be_v at_o first_o create_v by_o

the_o truth_n be_v as_o moses_n have_v inform_v we_o and_o there_o need_v no_o other_o argument_n to_o support_v my_o faith_n of_o the_o truth_n hereof_o yet_o because_o i_o be_o write_v of_o those_o natural_a and_o moral_a evidence_n of_o this_o truth_n that_o may_v be_v of_o strength_n enough_o to_o evince_v the_o truth_n of_o this_o assertion_n upon_o the_o apparent_a moral_a evidence_n of_o the_o credibility_n of_o the_o write_n of_o moses_n i_o shall_v here_o urge_v the_o authority_n of_o moses_n for_o the_o proof_n of_o the_o matter_n of_o fact_n in_o question_n as_o i_o will_v urge_v herodotus_n or_o livy_n to_o prove_v a_o matter_n of_o fact_n allege_v by_o they_o and_o at_o this_o time_n and_o in_o this_o dispute_n shall_v only_o use_v his_o testimony_n as_o a_o moral_a

his_o infallibility_n so_o it_o be_v not_o reason_n to_o deny_v that_o credibility_n of_o what_o he_o relate_v which_o will_v be_v allow_v to_o a_o profane_a author_n especial_o when_o it_o carry_v with_o it_o single_o without_o the_o contribution_n of_o the_o supposition_n of_o a_o divine_a authority_n as_o great_a a_o evidence_n of_o truth_n as_o any_o history_n in_o world_n beside_o and_o as_o to_o that_o which_o be_v say_v that_o the_o supposition_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o what_o moses_n assert_n be_v to_o suppose_v the_o thing_n controvert_v because_o moses_n assert_v the_o
