2. If _Moses_ should not speak of the same Cubits here, that he mentions in others places, there would be great æquivocation in Scripture: now in another place, _i.e._ _Exod. 27._ he saith, God commanded him to make an Altar three Cubits high; which if it shall be meant of Geometrical Cubits it will contain 18 vulgar Cubits; which would not only render it useless, but would be contrary to the command which he saith God gave him, _Exod. 20. Thou shall not go up by steps to my Altar._ For without steps what man could reach it. It must therefore be meant of ordinary Cubits; but that being so it was very feasible. I can more easily believe than understand it. _And put the honest Father to the Refuge of a Miracle._] This honest father was St. _Aug._ who delivers his opinion, that it might be miraculously done, _lib. 16. de Civ. Dei, cap. 7._ where having propos'd the question how it might be done, he answers, _Quod si homines eas captas secum adduxerunt, et eo modo ubi habitabant earum genera instituerunt, venandi studio fieri potuisse incredibile non est, quamvis jussu Dei sire permissu etiam opera Angelorum negandum non sit potuisse transferri_; but St. _Aug._ saith not that it could not be done without a miracle. _And 1500 years to people the World, as full a time_, etc.] _Pag. 36._ _That_ Methusalem _was the longest liv'd of all the children of_ Adam, etc.] See both these Points cleared by the Author, in _Pseudodox. Epidemic._ the first _lib. 6. cap. 6._ the other _lib. 7. cap. 3._
