Thesis 11>52

Latin

Ex praecedenti conclusione intelligi potest cur euangelista Matheus, in quatuordecim illis generationibus ante Christum, quasdam dimiserit.

The previous conclusion explains why Matthew the evangelist left certain persons out of the fourteen generations before Christ that he lists.

Matt. 1:1-17 divides the lineage from Abraham to Christ into three sets of fourteen generations; the persons omitted from the last set are, on Farmer's note, those with a 'diminished correspondence' to Christ like Zedekiah's in 11>51 (farmer1998:27550).
