because_o joiada_n be_v in_o a_o certain_a manner_n by_o his_o office_n to_o make_v joas_n king_n because_o after_o the_o king_n there_o be_v none_o great_a among_o the_o people_n than_o be_v the_o

and_o this_o be_v the_o great_a agreevance_n that_o the_o king_n shall_v be_v deprive_v of_o his_o right_n and_o therefore_o joiada_n be_v in_o this_o bound_n as_o much_o of_o lie_v in_o his_o power_n to_o procure_v a_o remedy_n by_o anoint_v joas_n king_n to_o who_o the_o kingdom_n do_v of_o right_o belong_v three_o this_o be_v manifest_a because_o every_o man_n be_v bind_v to_o execute_v the_o know_a will_n of_o god_n forasmuch_o as_o it_o do_v prejudice_n charity_n or_o some_o commandment_n of_o god_n but_o god_n have_v say_v that_o of_o the_o seed_n of_o david_n there_o shall_v be_v

for_o the_o king_n to_o command_v athalia_fw-la to_o be_v slay_v who_o have_v usurp_v the_o kingdom_n therefore_o it_o be_v lawful_a also_o for_o joiada_n who_o represent_v the_o king_n person_n in_o
