Howbeit there is one thing which seemeth to be a let,1 namely if a man reckon the years from Samson unto Saul, he shall find them to be scarce .60. or at the most .70. And when as by reason of filthy whoredom the tribe of Benjamin was almost brought to nothing, and they which remained of it, had no wives, but those which they got by violence: how could it be, that in so short a time it should so much increase, ye Saul was out of that tribe chosen a king? This argument hath a certain show, but it is not firm nor sound enough if a man more diligently examine it. For although there were but a few remaining of that tribe, yet were they not so few, but they mought very much multiply. For there escaped six hundred men of war, who had wives given them partly of the men of Jabes Gilead, and partly by violence. And six hundred men were able in the space of .60. or .70. years to beget a great issue, and to see their children's children. They could not indeed be so many as to be equal with the other tribes, but yet they might increase to a sufficient number.

And whē as by reasō of filthy whoredom ye tribe of Beniamin was almost brought to nothing, and they which remained of it, had no wiues, but those which they got by violence: how could it be, that in so short a time it should so much encrease, ye Saule was out of that tribe chosen a king? This argumēt hath a certain shew, but it is not firme nor sound inough if a man more deligentlye examine it. For although there were but a fewe remayninge of that tribe, yet were they not so few, but they mought very much multiply. For there escaped sixe hundreth mē of warre, who had wiues geuen them partly of the men of Iabes Gilead, and partly by violence. And sixe hundreth men wer able in the space of .60. or .70. yeares to beget a great yssue, and to se theyr childrens children. They could not indede be so many as to be equall with the other tribes, but yet they might encrease to a sufficient numbre.
