i_o must_v distinguish_v of_o a_o double_a league_n there_o be_v a_o social_n league_n such_o as_o one_o prince_n make_v with_o another_o upon_o honourable_a and_o sometime_o advantageous_a term_n to_o both_o and_o this_o be_v simple_o forbid_v but_o there_o be_v a_o league_n with_o a_o conquer_a enemy_n as_o upon_o the_o yield_a a_o town_n to_o the_o besieger_n or_o a_o whole_a nation_n become_v tributary_n to_o a_o conqueror_n and_o such_o a_o one_o may_v be_v strike_v with_o those_o that_o relinquish_a their_o idolatry_n be_v in_o the_o nature_n of_o proselyte_n and_o submit_v themselves_o will_v pay_v tribute_n to_o the_o israelite_n which_o i_o take_v at_o first_o to_o be_v the_o case_n of_o the_o gibeonite_n ald._n but_o if_o you_o have_v right_o state_v the_o difference_n betwixt_o the_o israelite_n and_o the_o nation_n methinks_v it_o be_v somewhat_o strange_a that_o joshua_n seem_v so_o much_o concern_v for_o his_o surprise_n and_o that_o the_o whole_a

discourse_n for_o the_o prince_n have_v make_v this_o league_n and_o bind_v it_o by_o a_o oath_n and_o not_o according_a to_o their_o duty_n inquire_v of_o god_n they_o may_v fear_v a_o judgement_n for_o than_o omission_n and_o this_o may_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o their_o discontent_n and_o murmur_a ald._n but_o why_o shall_v joshua_n after_o the_o league_n then_o pronounce_v they_o accurse_v and_o condemn_v they_o to_o the_o slavery_n of_o the_o temple_n to_o be_v hewer_n of_o wood_n and_o drawer_n of_o water_n if_o the_o unlawfulness_n of_o the_o league_n and_o oath_n have_v not_o

you_o discern_v how_o much_o your_o cant_a objector_n but_o malicious_a traitor_n will_v have_v impose_v upon_o you_o in_o urge_v this_o oath_n of_o israel_n to_o the_o gibeonite_n as_o a_o motive_n for_o you_o to_o keep_v the_o covenant_n when_o there_o be_v not_o so_o much_o as_o the_o resemblance_n of_o parallel_n the_o covenant_n be_v evidence_v to_o be_v impious_a and_o unlawful_a but_o the_o league_n and_o oath_n in_o relation_n to_o the_o gibeonite_n have_v be_v sufficient_o prove_v valid_a and_o good_a i_o hope_v for_o the_o future_a you_o will_v be_v so_o just_a to_o yourself_o
