howbeit_o i_o think_v it_o good_a this_o to_o be_v add_v that_o some_o judge_v that_o prodition_n &_o espial_n do_v not_o much_o differ_v one_o from_o another_o and_o that_o it_o may_v sometime_o

against_o the_o chananite_n which_o may_v be_v consider_v of_o we_o two_o manner_n of_o way_n namely_o either_o by_o common_a law_n and_o ordinary_a law_n of_o nature_n or_o else_o by_o faith_n and_o

many_o excellent_a man_n bear_v of_o baren_a mother_n he_o very_o often_o time_n stir_v he_o up_o out_o of_o a_o barren_a woman_n which_o thing_n also_o we_o see_v come_v to_o pass_v in_o samson_n likewise_o in_o samuel_n and_o in_o john_n baptist_n and_o in_o very_a many_o other_o that_o it_o may_v manifest_o appear_v to_o be_v altogether_o the_o work_n of_o god_n barrenness_n among_o the_o

the_o scripture_n here_o pronounce_v it_o of_o the_o woman_n and_o not_o of_o the_o man_n he_o shall_v begin_v say_v he_o to_o save_v israel_n here_o be_v signify_v that_o samson_n shall_v not_o full_o deliver_v the_o people_n for_o israel_n do_v not_o under_o he_o fight_v in_o battle_n against_o their_o enemy_n he_o alone_o assail_v they_o &_o sometime_o grevous_o afflict_v they_o the_o

the_o vow_n of_o the_o nazarite_n and_o as_o touch_v the_o vow_n of_o the_o nazarit_v it_o be_v manifest_o set_v forth_o in_o the_o .6_o of_o numb_a but_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v there_o write_v nazarite_n the_o sum_n of_o the_o vow_n of_o the_o nazarite_n may_v all_o be_v reduce_v to_o three_o principal_a point_n the_o first_o be_v that_o they_o shall_v drink_v no_o wine_n nor_o strong_a drink_n nor_o any_o thing_n that_o may_v make_v they_o droonke_v a_o other_o be_v that_o they_o shall_v not_o pole_n their_o head_n but_o all_o that_o time_n the_o nazarite_n shall_v let_v his_o hair_n grow_v the_o three_o be_v that_o they_o shall_v not_o defile_v themselves_o with_o mourninge_v for_o buriale_n no_o not_o at_o the_o death_n of_o their_o father_n or_o mother_n these_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v observe_v but_o not_o for_o ever_o but_o only_o for_o some_o certain_a time_n for_o he_o vow_v to_o be_v a_o nazarite_n but_o for_o certain_a number_n of_o day_n or_o month_n or_o year_n but_o why_o do_v god_n institute_v these_o thing_n nazarite_n why_o god_n give_v the_o institution_n of_o the_o nazarite_n there_o may_v be_v many_o cause_n give_v first_o because_o man_n be_v so_o prone_a to_o choose_v unto_o themselves_o certain_a kind_n of_o life_n whereby_o they_o may_v easy_o fall_v into_o superstition_n therefore_o god_n will_v after_o this_o manner_n bridle_v they_o as_o though_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v forasmuch_o as_o you_o be_v so_o prone_a to_o your_o own_o study_n and_o to_o invent_v new_a woorshipping_n yet_o shall_v you_o not_o do_v what_o you_o list_v yourselves_o but_o what_o i_o prescribe_v unto_o you_o and_o so_o gevinge_v unto_o they_o the_o law_n of_o a_o nazarite_n he_o keep_v they_o in_o do_v their_o dewtye_n but_o what_o ment_fw-la these_o thing_n they_o ought_v to_o keep_v their_o hair_n grow_v till_o the_o end_n of_o their_o vow_n for_o then_o in_o offer_v sacrifice_n and_o burn_v the_o flesh_n in_o fire_n they_o do_v cut_v of_o the_o hear_v and_o burn_v it_o in_o the_o same_o fire_n and_o from_o that_o time_n they_o be_v free_a and_o return_v to_o their_o old_a manner_n of_o life_n which_o be_v common_a also_o unto_o other_o some_o refer_v these_o thing_n unto_o a_o allegorye_n that_o when_o the_o hair_n be_v increase_v the_o nazarite_n shall_v consider_v that_o virtue_n also_o ought_v to_o increase_n in_o the_o mind_n but_o i_o think_v there_o may_v be_v a_o other_o cause_n render_v name_o that_o man_n shall_v abstain_v from_o to_o much_o trim_v and_o deckinge_v of_o the_o body_n for_o the_o clip_n of_o the_o ear_n much_o adorn_v the_o body_n for_o paul_n say_v in_o his_o 1._o epistle_n to_o the_o corrinthians_n the_o .11_o chapter_n that_o to_o man_n it_o be_v uncomelye_o if_o they_o let_v their_o hair_n grow_v although_o other_o reason_n of_o other_o man_n be_v not_o to_o be_v contemn_v procopius_n cyrillus_n procopius_n cirillus_n and_o also_o procopius_n upon_o the_o book_n of_o number_n say_v that_o these_o thing_n be_v institute_v of_o god_n to_o revoke_v man_n from_o the_o idolatrous_a worshippinge_n and_o rite_n of_o the_o ethnike_n that_o that_o which_o they_o give_v unto_o idol_n the_o jew_n shall_v geve_v unto_o he_o so_o also_o whereas_o they_o sacrifice_v unto_o idol_n he_o will_v have_v these_o man_n rather_o to_o sacrifice_v unto_o himself_o not_o that_o god_n so_o much_o regard_v sacrifice_n but_o to_o withdraw_v they_o from_o idolatry_n we_o read_v that_o the_o ethnike_v sometime_o suffer_v their_o hair_n to_o grow_v that_o they_o may_v afterward_o consecrate_v it_o either_o
