the_o god_n of_o israel_n but_o in_o comparison_n of_o his_o own_o strength_n deride_v the_o power_n of_o a_o deity_n and_o prick_v all_o his_o religion_n upon_o the_o end_n of_o his_o sword_n this_o

these_o difficulty_n into_o which_o his_o false_a politic_n have_v cast_v he_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o we_o to_o determine_v perhaps_o he_o will_v have_v throw_v himself_o and_o his_o force_n between_o the_o two_o army_n to_o prevent_v the_o fight_n and_o to_o mediate_v a_o peace_n and_o so_o he_o will_v have_v satisfy_v both_o his_o obligation_n the_o one_o of_o loyalty_n to_o his_o

if_o we_o resolve_v to_o live_v in_o his_o most_o holy_a fear_n be_v the_o most_o infallible_a course_n we_o can_v take_v to_o continue_v in_o safety_n so_o on_o the_o other_o side_n all_o policy_n that_o swerve_v from_o the_o strict_a rule_n of_o conscience_n do_v rather_o procure_v than_o prevent_v extreme_a danger_n but_o to_o confirm_v this_o observation_n from_o experience_n old_a than_o david_n and_o yet_o still_o to_o keep_v within_o the_o sacred_a story_n the_o man_n of_o israel_n say_v unto_o gideon_n that_o be_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o judge_n rule_v thou_o over_o we_o both_o thou_o and_o thy_o son_n and_o thy_o son_n son_n also_o almighty_a god_n have_v choose_v he_o before_o to_o be_v their_o leader_n and_o chief_a but_o what_o they_o offer_v he_o now_o be_v

and_o he_o but_o how_o do_v they_o keep_v their_o faith_n with_o he_o much_o at_o the_o same_o rate_n as_o the_o unconstant_a multitude_n be_v wont_a to_o keep_v it_o as_o soon_o as_o gideon_n be_v
