CHAP. XVII. XVIII. XIX. XX.

[World 2107] [Sem 549] [Salah 414] [Eber 384] [Abram 99] [Ismael 13] IN this year these several occurrences came to pass: Cir∣cumcision was instituted in the moneth Abib or Nisan, and instituted in Hebron; In which very place, and at which time of the year, John Baptist is born, who brought in Ba∣ptism in stead of Circumcision. Abram and Sarai have their names changed at the institution of Circumcision; and Isaac is named before he is conceived. Some three moneths after this, the three Persons in the Trinity dine with Abraham, and foretel the birth of Isaac again.

The Son and the Holy Ghost go down to Sodom, but the first Person in the Trinity stayeth with Abraham, and con∣descendeth to his prayer as long as he asketh.

Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboim, destroyed with fire and brimstone: Lot escapeth, but loseth two of his daughters in the flames, and his wife by lightning: his other two daughters help to undo him.

Abraham denyeth Sarah again; the son of the promise be∣ing now in her womb, but she not yet to be discovered to be with child.
