That I single him out; One of my Reasons is, Because he was a GRAND-SON in a Famous Family. First Adam appears; a Worshipper of GOD; a Believer on CHRIST; the GOVERNOR anon of a Little World. Then Seth appears; the Substitute and Follower of a Righteous Abel; and one that had on all accounts upon him, the Image of his Father: Now comes ⟨p. 7⟩on the Grandson, Enosh, of whom little more is Reported but this, And he Died. Indeed one thing more is in the Report; which is by some thus translated; Then began to be Profaned the Name of the Lord. This Person Lived, it seems, to see much Profanity and Apostasy to gain upon a Sinful World. Others rather keeping to our own Translation, Then began men to Call on the Name of the Lord, suppose that Congregations were formed for the Service of God; and one Enosh was a Great Encourager of them. Yea, some read it, Then began Preaching in the Name of the Lord; The Hebrew word, (from whence comes the Greek word for Preaching,) favours it. Probably Enosh was one who heartily Countenanced the Best Preachers. Our Enosh would have such for his Counsellors. Tis more than probable, That the Protevangelium, in the Third of Genesis and the Fifteenth, was the Text most usually Preached upon.
