A difficultie of the word Haran.

Since the name of Abrahams brother was Haran, as wel as the place where he dwelt, how shal we discerne the one from the other? I answer to this, that if wee will obserue the strict and precise maner of pronunciation, we must call the brother Haran, and the place Charran. For in the originall, the Hebrue tongue, the brothers name is written with 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, and the place of Abra∣hams abode with 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉: so as Abrahams brothers name ought to be termed Haran, and the place where Abraham dwelt, Char∣ran; which varietie of writing, some translations haue well ob∣serued. See the 17. chapter following, in the third difficultie of the fift section.
