for_o they_o do_v set_v over_o each_o of_o they_o certain_a noble_a governor_n neither_o aught_o that_o much_o to_o move_v we_o because_o the_o history_n do_v only_a name_n judah_n now_o &_o speak_v

though_o the_o scripture_n do_v not_o now_o express_v it_o may_v evident_o be_v gather_v by_o other_o place_n for_o we_o be_v very_o often_o teach_v by_o the_o holy_a scripture_n that_o idolatry_n
