very_o obvious_a to_o the_o view_n of_o the_o observant_a reader_n 1._o the_o distribution_n of_o the_o whole_a tribe_n into_o its_o integral_a part_n or_o constituent_a member_n as_o to_o their_o political_a order_n viz._n the_o head_n and_o the_o brethren_n of_o which_o two_o unite_a together_o consist_v the_o body_n of_o the_o tribe_n as_o be_v here_o employ_v 2._o the_o qualification_n of_o each_o part_n fit_o dispose_v they_o to_o a_o regular_a performance_n of_o the_o duty_n incumbent_a on_o either_o for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o whole_a 1._o wisdom_n in_o those_o that_o be_v the_o

to_o attend_v the_o advice_n and_o counsel_n of_o their_o leader_n they_o be_v at_o their_o commandment_n 3._o the_o regular_a and_o orderly_a proceed_n of_o each_o part_n the_o which_o be_v necessary_o employ_v in_o the_o word_n that_o when_o the_o head_n of_o the_o tribe_n have_v counsel_v and_o determine_v what_o be_v needful_a to_o be_v do_v the_o brethren_n be_v ready_a to_o put_v their_o resolve_n in_o execution_n it_o be_v not_o in_o issachar_n as_o anacharsis_n the_o philosopher_n sometime_o complain_v of_o the_o tumultuous_a proceed_n in_o the_o popular_a commonwealth_n at_o athens_n that_o wise_a and_o grave_a man_n deliberate_v on_o thing_n but_o fool_n and_o mad_a man_n resolve_v thereof_o but_o at_o this_o time_n in_o issachar_n the_o body_n of_o the_o people_n be_v ready_a to_o put_v in_o execution_n what_o those_o who_o have_v understanding_n in_o the_o time_n judge_v needful_a to_o be_v do_v 4._o the_o entire_a unity_n of_o the_o tribe_n among_o themselves_o declare_v the_o unanimous_a consent_n of_o the_o whole_a in_o that_o it_o be_v say_v all_o their_o brethren_n be_v at_o their_o commandment_n sc_n at_o the_o commandment_n of_o the_o two_o hundred_o which_o be_v the_o head_n which_o do_v just_o advance_v the_o gallantry_n of_o the_o action_n of_o the_o tribe_n of_o issachar_n in_o this_o affair_n above_o that_o of_o any_o of_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o tribe_n by_o the_o same_o proportion_n by_o which_o our_o saviour_n prefer_v the_o bounty_n of_o the_o poor_a widow_n above_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o contributer_n for_o as_o she_o put_v into_o the_o treasury_n all_o which_o she_o have_v so_o do_v this_o tribe_n send_v all_o their_o whole_a stock_n to_o increase_v the_o host_n of_o david_n which_o if_o they_o be_v not_o so_o many_o thousand_o as_o some_o of_o the_o other_o tribe_n may_v send_v yet_o see_v there_o be_v none_o that_o stay_v behind_o it_o be_v for_o want_v of_o number_n but_o not_o of_o goodwill_n if_o they_o do_v not_o equal_a or_o exceed_v the_o rest_n of_o the_o tribe_n i_o shall_v only_o paraphrase_n a_o little_a upon_o the_o word_n to_o give_v the_o sense_n and_o meaning_n of_o they_o before_o i_o commend_v any_o thing_n from_o thence_o to_o our_o present_a consideration_n of_o the_o child_n of_o issachar_n these_o be_v the_o descendant_n of_o the_o five_o son_n of_o jacob_n by_o his_o wife_n leah_n who_o lot_n as_o it_o seem_v to_o have_v fall_v in_o one_o of_o the_o rich_a and_o most_o fruitful_a soil_n of_o the_o whole_a land_n of_o canaan_n so_o be_v it_o more_o likely_a
