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

may_v seem_v marvelous_a unto_o some_o that_o god_n use_v to_o punish_v his_o people_n by_o other_o nation_n far_o worse_a than_o they_o be_v for_o as_o much_o as_o the_o ammonite_n amalekite_n and_o

they_o pertain_v to_o god_n do_v sin_n against_o his_o law_n which_o they_o know_v wherefore_o there_o be_v no_o cause_n why_o the_o turk_n and_o papist_n though_o they_o sometime_o prevail_v against_o we_o to_o punish_v our_o sin_n shall_v flatter_v themselves_o thereby_o despise_v god_n will_v not_o easeli_a suffer_v his_o word_n be_v know_v &_o receive_v to_o be_v despise_v as_o

but_o so_o it_o be_v not_o say_v least_o in_o think_v of_o he_o god_n why_o the_o scripture_n attribute_v member_n unto_o god_n thou_o shall_v be_v deceive_v &_o suppose_v that_o he_o have_v those_o
