World Notwithstanding I am of opinion the stay of Adam in Paradise was much longer than most Men hold and Reasons I could yield for it perhaps so long as Christ lived upon Earth after his Baptism but in such a nice Point I list not to be curious Mr. Lively seems to render a Reason why Whitsunday was deferred from May 21 d. to 28 d. because the Easter before fell upon the Jewish Pascha which Reason I leave to your better Judgment than mine if it be not good but by mistaking the Eclipse that Year of Christ current 394 I think this Calculation I have sent will sufficiently demonstrate Hoping you will accept these endeavours for this time I cease to trouble you further commending your Welfare to the Grace of God Yours in the Lord Tho. Whalley LETTER CCLXXXV A Letter from Mr. Thomas Whalley to the most Reverend James Usher late Arch-bishop of Armagh Right Reverend SInce the late receipt of your Letter I have had very little time and leasure to make answer thereto and am inforced at this present to abbreviate the same Your acceptance of my small pains I am rather to thank you for than you to account them any trouble to me who would be right glad if in any Matter my Service may stand you in stead If I thought you had not taken a Copy of my Garsilias whilst you had it I would send you the difference so soon as I can The precise time of the Autum Aequin complet retrò I remember was set down and if porrho and current not also expressed was through my haste but it may be gathered to be upon the 21st current of Octob. 5 h. 10 m. post med noct I wrought as you see according to the Alphonsine way because those Tables of equal Motions are more truly printed than those which are secundùm vulgarem rationem Mulerius have I read cursorily but never practised by his Tables yet methinks it strange there should be such difference that by your Calculation the middle Motion of Sol should fall upon the 24th or 25th day without there be some Error in our Operations It 's no wonder if Firmicus strayed guessing by Supposition rather what might be than out of Judgment examining the truth himself as an Heathen holding the World's Eternity Capell no question as you write was deceived About Adam's continuance in Paradise as I affirm nothing so think it cannot be evicted his stay might not be many Days or some Years 1.

And then to give names to such a multitude of Species 5.

Animal Perfectissimum and so as the more noble among Beasts and Fowls do also not exercise Generation but at set times 2. Atque immortale quatenus potuit non mori and therefore need not be too sollicitous to preserve the Species of humane Nature without delay by Generation when the Individuals might remain incorruptible 3. Et originaliter Justum and therefore freed from inordinate concupiscense rather delighting himself in the fellowship than knowledg of Women and in divine Speculation and worship of his Creator and inquisition of the Creatures Conditions than in sensual though lawful Appetites 4. And being a Type of Christ the second Adam perhaps as the one some three or four or more Years upon Earth preached Righteousness at his inauguration in Baptism so the other might remain as long time in injoying the benefit of his Innocence in his first estate 5. Lastly The blessing of Fruitfulness he might well expect in due time to come sufficient to replenish the World whenas even in those 930 Years of his Life after the Fall if but every 30 Years his Seed were doubled an easy supposition the Total would amount to many hundred millions of Persons Years Persons 30 2 60 4 90 8 100 16 150 32 Sic deinceps Your correspondence of the Feast of Expiations on the 10th of Tisri in memory of the first Sin I hold very ingenious howsoever other Expositors deem that Time appointed as fit for Humiliation at the end of the Ecclesiastical Year when all their Fruits were reaped But granting that good the consequence of his Creation in Autumn is not necessary unless we suppose he fell within few days The forbidden Fruit 1. in the midst of the Garden and 2. but some individual and 3. pleasing to the Eye seemeth to be different from the Pomegranat and so I suppose you will not deny For Mr. Livlys mistaking of Whitsunday I have not to say till leasure suffer me to examine whether fourteen Years after the Vernal Aequinox fell that Year upon the Lord's Day But I thank you heartily for imparting so much as you have to me whereby to make further search hereafter And so having been both tedious and troublesome to you I cannot but crave pardon in regard of your important Occasions and commit your welfare to the Grace of God resting ever Yours to use in the Lord Tho.
