A. Three hundred and fiftie yeeres, euen till Abraham was about fiftie yeeres of age, or 58. as the Hebrews, and others doe thinke, and in that Noah liued so long after the flood, it sheweth vs, that long life doth nei∣ther depend from the starres, the tempera∣ture of the ayre, the constitution of the bo∣die,
the excellencie of meate and drinke, nor any thing else, except from Gods bles∣sing, for neither had the Starres that influ∣ence, nor the ayre that temperature, nor mans body that strength, nor the hearbes that nutriment, which they had before the flood, yet Noah liued after the flood 350. yeeres, and his sonne Sem 500. secondly, God would haue him liue so long after the flood, not onely to see the effect of Gods blessing in the multiplication of his posteri∣tie, but also to instruct the world with the knowledge of the true God; and of these things that were done before the flood.
