that_o the_o grecian_n do_v retain_v the_o name_n of_o japetus_n jove_n aeolus_n and_o many_o other_o not_o know_v whence_o they_o spring_v but_o when_o the_o story_n of_o moses_n do_v show_v their_o

the_o son_n of_o cham_n the_o first_o ancient_a among_o the_o greek_n be_v the_o war_n of_o the_o argonians_n and_o then_o of_o the_o trojan_n but_o the_o time_n &_o course_n of_o year_n which_o the_o grecian_n themselves_o have_v observe_v do_v show_v that_o the_o trojan_a war_n be_v not_o long_o before_o david_n and_o that_o hercules_n be_v almost_o of_o the_o same_o time_n with_o sapson_n so_o the_o name_n &_o history_n of_o the_o heathen_a do_v testify_v that_o the_o book_n of_o the_o church_n be_v the_o more_o ancient_a which_o be_v very_o necessary_a for_o the_o studious_a to_o

which_o do_v establish_v law_n contrary_a to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n but_o this_o be_v the_o common_a madness_n of_o all_o the_o gentile_n to_o call_v upon_o a_o multitude_n of_o god_n and_o to_o

the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o heathen_a see_v it_o not_o true_o let_v we_o embrace_v god_n voice_n in_o the_o church_n see_v he_o have_v add_v great_a testimony_n thereunto_o reason_n acknowledge_v that_o
