The second difficultie.

Saint Steuen saith in the seauenth of the Actes, that Meso∣potamia was Abrahams natiue country, from whence he went to Charran. Therefore it cannot be, that Chaldea was his countrey. I answere, that Chaldea was his country, and that his countrey was indifferently called, either Mesopotamia, or Chaldea. Which I prooue by two reasons. First, because Plinius lib. 6. cap 26. saith, that Chaldea is a citie in Mesopo∣tamia. Secondly, because S. Steuen, Acts 7. verse 4. confir∣meth the same: neither doth any graue writer denie, but that Mesopotamia ioyneth to Chaldea; and so Chaldea being in the confines of Mesopotamia, may not vnfitly bee taken for the same.
