more_o which_o i_o will_v touch_v in_o a_o word_n the_o first_o this_o prohibition_n be_v often_o repeat_v here_o we_o have_v it_o in_o my_o text_n and_o we_o have_v it_o once_o and_o again_o towards_o the_o end_n of_o this_o chapter_n you_o will_v think_v this_o superfluous_a moses_n himself_o think_v so_o he_o seem_v somewhat_o discontent_v with_o god_n for_o inculcate_v it_o so_o

of_o his_o charge_n but_o suspect_v these_o defect_n in_o they_o and_o redouble_v his_o admonition_n to_o they_o as_o moses_n add_v a_o deuteronomie_n to_o the_o former_a book_n of_o the_o law_n though_o he_o repeat_v but_o the_o same_o thing_n and_o the_o evangelist_n add_v gospel_n upon_o gospel_n of_o the_o same_o argument_n and_o the_o apostle_n add_v epistle_n to_o epistle_n not_o much_o
