The answer to one of the objections proposed, shewing that Abraham
made but one journey out of Rfesopotainia into Canaan and it after

should beget Abrahan in his 130th year. I I Sect. V. The answer to
two more of the objections shewing that we nlay have certainty of
Abrahams age from the scripture, though we make not Abrahan the

Abrahanl his two brethren shoi ldb e respected. T 2 Sect. V1. That
the nnining of Abral aln first of the three brethren, Gen. xi. 26.

not improbable that the four kings had no dominion in the countries
named, but that they had elsewhere with their colonies planted
themselves, and so retained the narnes of the countries whence they
came which if it be so, we need not say that Amraphel was Ninins,
nor trouble ourselves with many other difficulties. 32 CHAP. II. Of
