yea_o peradventure_o the_o great_a part_n of_o man_n shall_v take_v pain_n without_o any_o profit_n but_o to_o the_o purpose_n we_o must_v note_v that_o the_o lot_n of_o the_o tribe_n of_o juda_n do_v not_o only_o fall_v in_o a_o high_a place_n that_o the_o very_a height_n of_o the_o region_n may_v commend_v the_o dignity_n of_o the_o kingdom_n that_o shall_v be_v therein_o but_o because_o the_o name_n of_o that_o tribe_n do_v first_o come_v forth_o as_o a_o foreshow_v of_o the_o same_o matter_n they_o begin_v to_o divide_v that_o which_o be_v already_o conquer_v by_o war_n the_o name_n of_o

when_o the_o lot_n do_v answer_v to_o the_o prophecy_n of_o jacob_n it_o be_v manifest_a that_o it_o fall_v not_o by_o chance_n and_o that_o the_o holy_a patriarch_n do_v pronounce_v that_o which_o

which_o be_v foreshow_v three_o hundred_o year_n before_o furthermore_o of_o the_o large_a and_o manifold_a compass_n of_o the_o place_n the_o unlearned_a sort_n may_v easy_o gather_v that_o it_o be_v a_o great_a province_n which_o be_v assign_v by_o lot_n to_o that_o one_o tribe_n for_o although_o some_o diminution_n happen_v afterward_o yet_o they_o have_v always_o the_o large_a dominion_n and_o we_o must_v remember_v that_o which_o i_o say_v that_o nothing_o else_o be_v declare_v by_o the_o lot_n but_o that_o the_o border_n of_o the_o son_n of_o juda_n join_v upon_o the_o land_n of_o edom_n

the_o other_o side_n when_o the_o people_n do_v see_v that_o they_o handle_v the_o matter_n with_o all_o faithfulness_n and_o upright_o deal_n they_o do_v willing_o submit_v themselves_o to_o their_o
