The beti of 1t 15,that it is a matter of no great moment, for the Queſtion not, whether Sala was the Son of Arphaxad, ( for lo he was, tho Arphazad was his Grandfather, in the ſame ſenſe that Chriſt is call. ed the Son of Abraham, and the Son of David, and Elizabeth the Daughter ot Aaron, ch. 1. 1. ) but whether he was the immcdiate Son of Arpbaxad,or Cainan, whether Moſes omitted Cainan, or ſome tranſcriber of Luke added Cainan cut of the Septuagint(being then the current Tranſlation among them) the laſt is moſt probable. For the other part of the Genealogy, v. 36, 37, 38. it plainly agreeth with Gen. 5,5,7Fc. & 6. 1o. So that I muit profeſs I ſee no great dit. culty to reconcile the Genealogies, admitting the one to grve the Ge. nealogy of Foſeph, and the other, to give the Genealogy of Mary ; that indeed Mary was the Daughter of Heli, is not to be proved by Scripture, nor yet contradifted, but it is very probably judged 0, And tho we cannot prove that Cajnan, mentioned v. 35. was added out of ſome latter Copies of the Septuagint, yet it is more than pro- bable it was ſo; which two things if we acuait, I ſee no great dif. culty remaining, but a fair agreernent betwixt both the Evanzeliſis, For I preſume none will ſtumble at the alteration of ſome letter, op omiſſion of ſome letter in a Name, or addition to it in the end; there 15 nothing more ordinary than tat, when Namesare meitione]
