The first age.

* 1.1The first age from the creation of the world to the floud, con∣taineth 1656. yeeres; whereof for the Readers better satisfa∣ction, I put downe this plaine demonstration.

Adam was made of the dust of the earth, in the end of the sixt day Genes. 1. vers. 27, 31.

[ 130] Adam begate Seth, when he was 130. yeres old Gen. 5. v. 3

[ 105] Seth begat Enosh, when he was 105. yeres old Gen. 5. v. 6

[ 90] Enosh begat Kenan, when he was 90. yeres old Gen. 5. v. 9

[ 70] Kenan begat Malaleel, being 70. yeeres old, Gen. 5. ver. 12

[ 65] Malaleel begat Iared, being 65. yeeres old, Gen. 5. ver. 15

[ 162] Iared begat Henoch, being 162. yeeres old, Gen. 5. ver. 18

[ 65] Henoch begat Methusalem, being 65. yeres old Ge. 5. v. 21

[ 187] Methusalem begat Lamech, being 187. yeeres olde, Gene. 5. verse 25.

[ 182] Lamech begat Noah, being 182. yeeres old, Gen. 5. ver. 28

[ 600] Noah was 600. yeres old when the floud came Gen. 7. v. 6

The whole summe of yeeres is 1656. and six dayes.

The particular summes of the yeeres be these;
  • 130

  • 90
  • 70
  • 65
  • 162
  • 65
  • 187
  • 182
  • 600
1656

Make addition, and this summe will amount to 1656, to which adde sixe dayes before Adams creation.
