which_o all_o man_n count_v to_o be_v a_o error_n the_o other_o argument_n be_v because_o some_o sometime_o by_o dissimulation_n do_v save_v and_o defend_v their_o own_o or_o else_o other_o man_n

the_o show_v of_o the_o sign_n and_o he_o think_v not_o that_o god_n or_o a_o angel_n be_v present_a with_o he_o wherefore_o he_o think_v to_o follow_v the_o example_n of_o abraham_n &_o lot_n and_o in_o deed_n the_o thing_n which_o he_o present_v partain_v rather_o to_o a_o dinner_n than_o to_o a_o sacrifice_n he_o erect_v no_o altar_n neither_o prepare_v he_o the_o fat_a to_o be_v burn_v nor_o

for_o the_o elder_n be_v careful_a to_o prepare_v meat_n for_o stranger_n with_o as_o much_o speed_n as_o may_v be_v wherefore_o they_o straightway_o bake_v new_a bread_n because_o peradventure_o

ammonite_n and_o out_o of_o their_o border_n take_v pray_n and_o booty_n therefore_o when_o the_o gileadite_n be_v oppress_v they_o come_v unto_o jiphtah_n to_o bring_v he_o home_o again_o and_o by_o his_o conduct_v to_o defend_v the_o city_n from_o their_o enemy_n they_o desire_v to_o have_v he_o to_o be_v their_o head_n because_o when_o they_o be_v grievous_o oppress_v of_o their_o enemy_n they_o judge_v it_o expedient_a that_o there_o shall_v be_v one_o to_o govern_v their_o thing_n and_o first_o they_o have_v decree_v among_o themselves_o as_o we_o have_v hear_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v their_o captain_n which_o first_o shall_v fyghte_n against_o their_o enemy_n but_o whither_o they_o do_v that_o by_o their_o own_o judgement_n and_o civil_a reason_n or_o by_o the_o oracle_n of_o god_n the_o history_n mention_v not_o but_o the_o act_n or_o condition_n which_o the_o gileadite_n ordain_v be_v fulfil_v by_o jiphtah_n for_o he_o with_o a_o few_o soldier_n assail_v his_o enemy_n therefore_o they_o sing_v that_o they_o be_v bind_v to_o stand_v to_o their_o covenant_n come_v unto_o jiphtah_n and_o choose_v he_o captain_n because_o he_o first_o of_o all_o begin_v the_o battle_n against_o the_o ammonite_n this_o be_v worthy_a to_o be_v mark_v that_o the_o gileadite_n call_v not_o jiphtah_n king_n king_n jiphtah_n aâ—oliâ—ted_a captain_n &_o not_o king_n but_o only_a captain_n or_o ruler_n wherefore_o they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v accuse_v as_o the_o sechemite_n be_v for_o they_o do_v choose_v abimelech_n king_n but_o these_o man_n constitute_v jiphtah_n captain_n to_o fight_v against_o their_o enemy_n now_o for_o the_o present_a time_n and_o also_o hereafter_o when_o opportunity_n shall_v serve_v and_o undoubted_o they_o do_v well_o and_o wise_o in_o choose_v jiphtah_n for_o he_o be_v a_o man_n expert_a and_o valiant_a in_o war_n but_o god_n have_v with_o himself_o before_o in_o secret_a decree_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v judge_n over_o all_o israel_n which_o manifestlye_o appear_v by_o those_o word_n which_o we_o shall_v afterward_o hear_v and_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n come_v upon_o jiphtah_n far_o we_o must_v consider_v that_o jiphtah_n therefore_o flee_v because_o his_o brother_n have_v thrust_v he_o out_o of_o his_o father_n inheritance_n neither_o leave_v they_o he_o any_o thing_n to_o defend_v his_o life_n with_o all_o wherefore_o he_o have_v rather_o fly_v and_o live_v in_o exile_n then_o to_o live_v with_o ignominye_a in_o his_o country_n this_o undoubted_o come_v of_o a_o noble_a stout_a courage_n that_o he_o will_v not_o live_v there_o where_o he_o continual_o hear_v his_o birth_n upbraid_v unto_o he_o and_o where_o all_o man_n count_v he_o for_o a_o bastard_n therefore_o he_o get_v he_o to_o a_o other_o place_n and_o exercise_v the_o art_n of_o warrefare_n it_o be_v also_o possible_a that_o that_o matter_n come_v in_o controversy_n and_o the_o judge_n to_o gratify_v the_o legitimate_a brother_n do_v not_o only_o judge_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v deprive_v of_o his_o father_n good_n bastard_n the_o law_n command_v not_o to_o banish_v bastard_n but_o also_o be_v thrust_v out_o of_o the_o city_n and_o seem_v to_o i_o very_o probable_a for_o when_o the_o gileadit_n come_v unto_o he_o and_o of_o their_o own_o accord_n offer_v unto_o he_o the_o pryncipalytye_n he_o answer_v do_v not_o you_o expel_v i_o out_o of_o the_o city_n these_o word_n declare_v that_o jiphtah_n be_v handle_v more_o severelye_o than_o the_o law_n command_v for_o the_o law_n command_v not_o to_o banish_v bastard_n the_o gileadite_n answer_n that_o they_o do_v so_o in_o deed_n but_o as_o before_o they_o can_v expel_v he_o so_o also_o now_o it_o be_v in_o their_o power_n to_o call_v he_o home_o again_o and_o make_v he_o ruler_n but_o now_o say_v jiphtah_n you_o call_v i_o again_o when_o you_o be_v in_o misery_n as_o though_o he_o will_v have_v say_v otherwise_o you_o will_v not_o have_v call_v i_o again_o it_o be_v so_o say_v they_o and_o therefore_o we_o come_v unto_o thou_o that_o thou_o may_v fight_v against_o our_o enemy_n because_o we_o be_v afflict_v but_o in_o that_o it_o be_v write_v we_o be_v turn_v again_o we_o must_v not_o so_o understande_v it_o as_o though_o they_o have_v before_o be_v with_o jiphtah_n but_o to_o turn_v again_o be_v in_o this_o place_n to_o be_v refer_v unto_o the_o mind_n as_o though_o it_o shall_v have_v be_v say_v we_o have_v change_v our_o counsel_n &_o purpose_n then_o jiphtah_n like_o a_o wise_a man_n will_v not_o be_v satisfy_v with_o these_o word_n but_o require_v the_o covenant_n of_o the_o principality_n to_o be_v confirm_v if_o i_o say_v he_o shall_v put_v myself_o in_o danger_n and_o god_n shall_v geve_v unto_o i_o the_o victory_n shall_v i_o be_v
