from Vr of Chaldea?
A. If this were true, that Abraham was borne when his father was 70. yeeres old, we must admit that hee was 135. yeeres olde, when hee departed from Charran; which is contrarie to Gen. 12. 4. Againe, by this sup∣putation it would follow that Isaac was born 35. yeeres before Abraham came to Canaan; for Abraham was 100. yeeres old when Isaac was borne. Gen. 21. But that is false, for I∣saac was borne in Canaan. Yea if this fiction of the Hebrewes were true, wee must be for∣ced against the Scripture to admit that A∣braham was 160. yeere old when Isaac was borne, and that he liued 100. yeeres, whereas he liued but 175. Gen. 25. Neither neede we with Augustine, Quest. 25. in Gen. That A∣braham came twice to Canaan, once when his father was liuing, and then hee remained there 60. yeeres, and another time after his death; for the Scripture both here, and Act. 7. Mentions onely of once comming to Ca∣naan, and that after his fathers death.
