they_o may_v most_o right_o be_v esteem_v small_a thing_n for_o that_o these_o be_v most_o grevous_a wherefore_o when_o we_o consider_v how_o the_o jew_n be_v deliver_v from_o outward_a misery_n let_v we_o call_v to_o remembrance_n those_o most_o great_a evil_n from_o which_o christ_n of_o his_o singular_a goodness_n have_v deliver_v us._n and_o when_o as_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n do_v

it_o be_v very_o likely_a that_o they_o be_v dead_a long_a time_n before_o josua_n and_o when_o they_o be_v now_o dead_a than_o be_v there_o mention_v make_v of_o they_o because_o their_o family_n which_o seem_v to_o have_v be_v of_o a_o wonderful_a huge_a stature_n be_v destroy_v by_o caleb_n and_o othoniel_n and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o i_o suppose_v that_o these_o three_o

and_o from_o that_o time_n to_o josua_n his_o time_n be_v almost_o .400_o year_n it_o be_v not_o therefore_o very_o likely_a that_o the_o son_n of_o he_o which_o build_v so_o ancient_a a_o city_n

for_o neither_o god_n nor_o yet_o christ_n be_v author_n that_o any_o man_n shall_v devource_n himself_o from_o his_o wife_n we_o know_v in_o deed_n that_o paul_n permit_v they_o which_o be_v marry_v

wherefore_o this_o sentence_n which_o they_o bring_v be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o prove_v the_o necessity_n of_o sole_a life_n for_o minister_n forasmuch_o as_o the_o adversary_n gather_v more_o out_o
