the_o chananite_n the_o philistine_n the_o assyrian_n the_o babylonians_n the_o persian_n the_o greek_n and_o the_o roman_n who_o then_o dare_v be_v so_o proud_a and_o bold_a as_o to_o voilate_v or_o

into_o diverse_a country_n of_o the_o world_n afore_o they_o come_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o gentile_n as_o of_o the_o greek_n or_o roman_n as_o for_o the_o jew_n their_o shooteanker_n and_o

further_o which_o of_o they_o will_v have_v dye_v afterward_o for_o a_o law_n which_o they_o know_v to_o be_v corrupt_v or_o counterfeit_a and_o sooth_o we_o see_v throughout_o their_o history_n that_o there_o pass_v not_o so_o much_o as_o any_o one_o half_a hundred_o year_n without_o persecution_n and_o war_n for_o that_o law_n and_o whereas_o it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o some_o

as_o the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o etrurians_n and_o latin_n be_v but_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o whole_a people_n so_o as_o one_o syllable_n can_v not_o be_v change_v but_o it_o be_v to_o be_v espy_v even_o by_o young_a child_n consider_v also_o that_o we_o read_v not_o of_o any_o king_n how_o wise_a so_o ever_o he_o be_v that_o ever_o dare_v presume_v to_o add_v diminish_v or_o alter_v any_o whit_n thereof_o whereas_o notwithstanding_o all_o other_o law_n of_o the_o world_n be_v make_v by_o piecemeal_o and_o king_n and_o senate_n have_v always_o reserve_v to_o themselves_o a_o

of_o many_o age_n by_o some_o one_o author_n as_o we_o see_v berosus_n have_v do_v for_o the_o chaldee_n duis_n for_o the_o phoenicians_n manetho_n for_o the_o egyptian_n and_o such_o other_o let_v

how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o he_o write_v of_o the_o reign_v of_o the_o king_n if_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o first_o king_n how_o write_v he_o of_o the_o last_o king_n if_o in_o the_o
