their_o god_n shall_v have_v be_v mock_v and_o contemn_v wherefore_o lest_o the_o name_n of_o god_n and_o the_o fame_n of_o the_o israelite_n shall_v have_v be_v evil_o speak_v of_o it_o be_v ratify_v although_o it_o be_v unwysely_a and_o without_o praise_n perform_v the_o other_o cause_n be_v god_n the_o gabaonite_n be_v turn_v to_o the_o true_a god_n because_o the_o gabaonite_n do_v now_o believe_v in_o the_o true_a god_n and_o be_v ready_a to_o embrace_v his_o religion_n and_o worship_v which_o may_v easy_o be_v gather_v by_o two_o argument_n for_o they_o say_v as_o it_o be_v write_v in_o the_o ix_o chap._n of_o the_o book_n of_o josua_n that_o they_o come_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v therefore_o move_v thereunto_o because_o they_o have_v hear_v what_o thing_n god_n have_v do_v for_o that_o people_n sake_n both_o in_o egypt_n and_o also_o in_o the_o desert_n and_o likewise_o about_o jordane_n this_o be_v a_o token_n that_o they_o now_o beleve_v the_o god_n of_o the_o israelite_n moreover_o the_o same_o appear_v in_o that_o they_o be_v appoint_v by_o the_o hebrews_n to_o carry_v and_o to_o prepare_v wood_n and_o also_o to_o draw_v water_n for_o the_o sacrifice_n which_o be_v do_v unto_o the_o true_a god_n therefore_o they_o be_v make_v labourer_n and_o servant_n of_o the_o tabernacle_n and_o of_o the_o tribe_n of_o levi_n whereof_o they_o be_v call_v nathinites_n nathinites_n nathinites_n and_o that_o the_o law_n which_o be_v make_v of_o god_n against_o the_o seven_o nation_n which_o inhabit_v the_o land_n of_o chanaan_n be_v by_o this_o equity_n to_o be_v interpret_v and_o mitigate_v that_o if_o they_o return_v to_o the_o true_a god_n &_o will_v make_v peace_n with_o the_o jew_n they_o shall_v not_o be_v destroy_v it_o manifest_o appear_v by_o that_o which_o be_v write_v in_o the_o xi_o chap_n of_o the_o book_n of_o josua_n namely_o how_o those_o nation_n be_v therefore_o destroy_v because_o none_o of_o they_o the_o gabaonite_n only_o except_v make_v peace_n with_o the_o israelite_n for_o god_n to_o the_o end_n he_o will_v extinguish_v they_o have_v harden_v their_o heart_n and_o therefore_o they_o most_o obstinate_o fight_v against_o the_o israelite_n chananite_n why_o god_n harden_v the_o heart_n of_o the_o chananite_n but_o the_o cause_n why_o god_n so_o harden_v their_o heart_n be_v because_o their_o sin_n be_v full_a wherefore_o they_o beleve_v not_o as_o do_v the_o gabaonite_n neither_o adjoin_v they_o then selue_o unto_o the_o israelite_n and_o for_o that_o cause_n they_o continual_o resist_v they_o fight_v so_o unlucke_o that_o at_o length_n they_o be_v clean_o destroy_v but_o if_o so_o be_v that_o they_o have_v make_v peace_n with_o the_o jew_n and_o not_o despise_v their_o godliness_n and_o religion_n they_o shall_v have_v have_v the_o same_o give_v they_o which_o the_o gabaonite_n have_v but_o in_o that_o they_o do_v not_o so_o their_o former_a sin_n be_v the_o hindrance_n thereof_o for_o god_n for_o those_o sin_n take_v away_o his_o spirit_n and_o grace_n from_o their_o heart_n that_o at_o the_o last_o they_o may_v suffer_v most_o just_a punishment_n for_o their_o wickedness_n this_o be_v the_o equity_n and_o mitigation_n of_o those_o law_n against_o the_o chananite_n bondage_n why_o the_o gabaonite_n be_v bring_v into_o bondage_n but_o there_o arise_v a_o doubt_n why_o the_o punishment_n of_o bondage_n be_v impose_v to_o the_o gabaonite_n if_o they_o now_o become_v so_o good_a and_o faithful_a whereunto_o be_v answer_v that_o they_o therefore_o fall_v into_o bondage_n because_o they_o use_v fraud_n and_o guile_n for_o god_n will_v for_o this_o cause_n have_v they_o so_o punish_v lest_o he_o shall_v seem_v to_o allow_v disceate_n and_o evil_a

out_o of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n we_o can_v gather_v nothing_o of_o this_o thing_n peradventure_o it_o may_v seem_v to_o some_o that_o he_o abide_v still_o in_o his_o ungodlynesse_n because_o he_o go_v away_o from_o thence_o neither_o abode_n he_o with_o the_o jew_n but_o this_o be_v but_o a_o weak_a reason_n for_o jethro_n also_o depart_v from_o moses_n who_o he_o come_v to_o see_v in_o the_o

or_o diversity_n be_v not_o the_o lord_n the_o interrogation_n which_o the_o prophet_n use_v do_v not_o only_o stir_v up_o and_o encourage_v the_o heart_n of_o barac_n but_o also_o vehement_o

somewhat_o be_v doubt_v in_o that_o our_o text_n have_v that_o the_o lord_n go_v forth_o before_o barac_n when_o as_o the_o chaldey_n paraphra_v turn_v it_o a_o angel_n for_o it_o say_v shall_v not_o the_o angel_n of_o the_o lord_n prosper_v thou_o and_o undoubted_o this_o paraphrasis_fw-la show_v augustine_n augustine_n what_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o augustine_n read_v as_o we_o have_v before_o

for_o the_o
imagination_n of_o the_o crow_n there_o be_v such_o a_o alteration_n before_o the_o rain_n that_o he_o begin_v to_o croak_v wherefore_o the_o effect_n in_o the_o phantasy_n of_o those_o which_o be_v on_o sleep_v and_o also_o in_o deed_n come_v undoubted_o of_o the_o self_n same_o cause_n yet_o have_v they_o great_a diversity_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o subject_n in_o which_o they_o be_v make_v and_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v doubt_v but_o that_o there_o be_v a_o certain_a slender_a and_o hide_a similitude_n between_o these_o effect_n but_o it_o be_v very_o hard_a to_o understand_v the_o reason_n of_o this_o proportion_n or_o analogy_n and_o if_o we_o say_v that_o the_o star_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o such_o effect_n or_o affection_n who_o can_v refer_v these_o sign_n unto_o his_o own_o proper_a cause_n uncertain_a why_o divination_n by_o dream_n be_v hard_a and_o uncertain_a that_o be_v to_o some_o certain_a star_n more_o than_o to_o other_o assure_o i_o suppose_v that_o there_o be_v very_o few_o i_o will_v not_o say_v none_o which_o can_v do_v it_o far_o if_o they_o shall_v also_o be_v refer_v unto_o proper_a star_n what_o can_v we_o judge_v to_o come_v to_o pass_v by_o they_o especial_o as_o touch_v thing_n come_v by_o hap_n when_o as_o judicial_a astrology_n be_v evermore_o count_v most_o uncertain_a in_o fine_o image_n &_o &_o similitude_n which_o be_v say_v to_o portend_v thing_n to_o come_v be_v so_o doubtful_a uncertain_a &_o ambiguous_a that_o we_o can_v affyrm_v nothing_o for_o certain_a of_o they_o wherefore_o this_o be_v to_o be_v add_v that_o forasmuch_o as_o dream_n can_v be_v bring_v to_o pass_v of_o one_o only_a cause_n but_o of_o many_o as_o we_o have_v declare_v we_o shall_v easy_o fall_v into_o a_o error_n if_o we_o of_o those_o many_o cause_n choose_v only_o one_o certain_a cause_n therefore_o let_v we_o hold_v this_o that_o be_v not_o easy_o to_o foretell_v any_o thing_n by_o dream_n for_o that_o they_o may_v easily_o do_v judge_v by_o the_o evente_n than_o the_o evente_n can_v by_o they_o be_v foretell_v wherefore_o there_o remain_v of_o dream_n but_o only_o a_o certain_a suspicion_n which_o also_o of_o necessity_n be_v very_o slender_a puerye_n a_o gate_n of_o horn_n &_o a_o gate_n of_o puerye_n the_o two_o most_o noble_a poetes_n homer_n i_o say_v and_o virgil_n make_v two_o gate_n of_o dream_n the_o one_o of_o horn_n the_o other_o of_o yvery_n that_o of_o horn_n as_o they_o say_v pertain_v unto_o the_o true_a dream_n and_o that_o of_o yvery_n to_o false_a and_o they_o say_v that_o the_o grete_a part_n pass_v through_o the_o gate_n of_o yvery_n and_o not_o through_o that_o of_o horn_n wherefore_o in_o judge_v natural_a dream_n let_v we_o not_o pass_v the_o measure_n of_o suspicion_n nor_o stick_v to_o much_o in_o dream_n forasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v not_o the_o duty_n of_o a_o christian_n man_n to_o cleave_v more_o than_o be_v conveniente_a unto_o perilous_a and_o uncertain_a conjecture_n because_o while_o they_o so_o busy_o apply_v themselves_o to_o those_o thing_n require_v of_o dream_n send_v either_o of_o god_n or_o of_o the_o devil_n to_o fore_o show_v any_o thing_n by_o vision_n or_o dream_n two_o thing_n be_v require_v they_o neglect_v other_o thing_n which_o be_v of_o great_a weight_n and_o the_o devil_n very_o often_o time_n mingle_v himself_o with_o those_o thing_n to_o this_o intent_n either_o to_o call_v we_o back_o from_o good_a action_n or_o else_o to_o drive_v we_o to_o action_n that_o be_v evell_a now_o let_v we_o see_v what_o we_o ought_v to_o affirm_v of_o dream_n send_v of_o god_n or_o move_v by_o the_o devel_n when_o any_o thing_n by_o the_o work_n of_o god_n or_o of_o angel_n be_v in_o dream_n foresene_v two_o thing_n be_v require_v the_o first_o
