Doth begin the last seven years of Me∣thuselah, those seven years he had above the age of any other man that ever lived:
the last of these seven years of Methu∣selah was also the last year of the old world, when it perished by the Flood in the year 1656. The same year of the de∣struction, a little before it came to pass, God caused him to be seen of men, who had lived a longer time then any other man. The example of so great a blessing so near unto the Flood was a warning to them, that God would have greatly pro∣longed their days, had not their impeni∣tency abridged them.
