very_o singular_a and_o there_o can_v be_v nothing_o more_o remarkable_a than_o their_o subsistence_n among_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n notwithstanding_o that_o they_o be_v of_o the_o number_n of_o those_o nation_n which_o god_n have_v command_v to_o be_v destroy_v and_o their_o be_v destine_v by_o joshuah_n appointment_n to_o carry_v the_o wood_n and_o the_o water_n necessary_a for_o the_o

those_o miracle_n oblige_v they_o to_o seek_v the_o alliance_n of_o the_o hebrew_n and_o to_o cheat_v they_o into_o it_o by_o a_o fraudulent_a treaty_n because_o they_o despair_v of_o compass_v their_o design_n by_o any_o other_o mean_n therefore_o their_o subsist_v among_o the_o jew_n and_o their_o servile_a office_n which_o expose_v they_o to_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o whole_a nation_n can_v not_o choose_v but_o be_v of_o a_o extraordinary_a use_n to_o make_v that_o people_n preserve_v and_o cherish_v up_o the_o memory_n of_o those_o glorious_a action_n which_o every_o gibeonite_n have_v

certain_a that_o the_o jew_n have_v always_o believe_v that_o beside_o those_o first_o miracle_n relate_v by_o moses_n many_o other_o have_v be_v do_v since_o for_o their_o sake_n both_o to_o

truth_n of_o moses_n relation_n concern_v the_o several_a apparition_n of_o god_n in_o order_n to_o lead_v his_o people_n and_o to_o give_v they_o law_n the_o second_o be_v the_o miracle_n of_o every_o seven_o year_n xxv_o levit._fw-la xxv_o during_o which_o though_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n do_v neither_o sow_n nor_o reap_v god_n according_a to_o his_o promise_n do_v supply_v they_o with_o plenty_n of_o provision_n by_o make_v every_o six_o year_n extraordinary_o plentiful_a now_o this_o miracle_n be_v a_o kind_n of_o a_o memorial_n of_o that_o other_o great_a miracle_n whereby_o
