it_o be_v very_o likely_a that_o they_o be_v dead_a long_a time_n before_o josua_n and_o when_o they_o be_v now_o dead_a than_o be_v there_o mention_v make_v of_o they_o because_o their_o family_n which_o seem_v to_o have_v be_v of_o a_o wonderful_a huge_a stature_n be_v destroy_v by_o caleb_n and_o othoniel_n and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o i_o suppose_v that_o these_o three_o

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 shall_v live_v till_o josua_n his_o time_n unless_o any_o man_n will_v fain_v that_o the_o same_o city_n be_v build_v long_a time_n before_o &_o call_v by_o a_o other_o name_n &_o then_o in_o
