Shem, the third son of Noah, had five sons, who inhabited the land
that began at Euphrates, and reached to the Indian Ocean. For Elam left
behind him the Elamites, the ancestors of the Persians. Ashur lived at
the city Nineve; and named his subjects Assyrians, who became the most
fortunate nation, beyond others. Arphaxad named the Arphaxadites, who are
now called Chaldeans. Aram had the Aramites, which the Greeks called Syrians;
as Laud founded the Laudites, which are now called Lydians. Of the four
sons of Aram, Uz founded Trachonitis and Damascus: this country lies between
Palestine and Celesyria. Ul founded Armenia; and Gather the Bactrians;
and Mesa the Mesaneans; it is now called Charax Spasini. Sala was the son
of Arphaxad; and his son was Heber, from whom they originally called the
Jews Hebrews. That the Jews were called Hebrews from this their progenitor Heber, our
author Josephus here rightly affirms; and not from Abram the Hebrew, or
passenger over Euphrates, as many of the

ABRAHAM after this married Keturah, by whom six sons were born to him,
men of courage, and of sagacious minds: Zambran, and Jazar, and Madan,
and Madian, and Josabak, and Sous. Now the sons of Sous were Sabathan and
Dadan. The sons of Dadan were Latusim, and Assur, and Luom. The sons of
Madiau were Ephas, and Ophren, and Anoch, and Ebidas, and Eldas. Now, for
all these sons and grandsons, Abraham contrived to settle them in colonies;
and they took possession of Troglodytis, and the country of Arabia the
Happy, as far as it reaches to the Red Sea. It is related of this Ophren,
that he made war against Libya, and took it, and that his grandchildren,
when they inhabited it, called it (from his name) Africa. And indeed Alexander
Polyhistor gives his attestation to what I here say; who speaks thus: "Cleodemus
the prophet, who was also called Malchus, who wrote a History of the Jews,
in agreement with the History of Moses, their legislator, relates, that
there were many sons born to Abraham

Hippomenes and Atalanta
Hippomenes alone with hope inspir'd,
Might well rejoice to find his wishes fir'd,
Since well assur'd of all his wish desired.
His passion was of life, and soul, and flame,
He dauntless to the fatal barriers came:
With joy his vanquished rivals he beheld,
Assur'd to win, when all besides had failed.
He saw the lovely nymph outfly the wind,
And leave her breathless suitors far behind;
Saw Atalanta swift as lightning pass,
Yet soft as Zephyrs, sweep along the grass.
He knew the law, whose cruelty decreed,
That ev'ry youth who lost the race should bleed.
Yet if, like them, he could not run so fast,
He saw her worth the dying for at last.
Her ev'ry charm his praise and wonder mov'd,
And still the more he praised, the more he lov'd,
Now had he viewed the last unhappy strife,
And seen the vanquished youth resign his life;
When with his love transported, from his place,
Lest any other first should claim the race,
Rising he runs, regardless of their fate,
And presses w

Mention made of one Godericus, a valiant Englishman,

land in the second yeere of Baldwine King of Jerusalem,

and one Godericke a pirate of the kingdome of England
with him, and fastening his banner on the toppe of a
speare, and holding it up aloft in the aire against the
beames of the Sunne, sailed unto Japhet with a small
company; That the Christian Citizens there seeing this
his banner, might conceive hope that the King was yet
living, and being not easily terrified with the threates
of the enemies might shamefully runne away, or be constrained to yeeld up the citie. For hee knew that they
were very much out of hope of his life and safetie. The Saracens seeing and knowing this his banner, that part
