because_o it_o please_v he_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v look_v upon_o the_o outward_a appearance_n it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o israel_n be_v far_o great_a than_o the_o kingdom_n of_o juda_n true_a it_o be_v that_o in_o king_n david_n time_n they_o be_v all_o one_o kingdom_n but_o when_o the_o people_n fall_v away_o than_o the_o tribe_n of_o ephraim_n become_v of_o great_a

another_o what_o be_v now_o to_o be_v do_v shall_v we_o have_v spite_n at_o it_o shall_v we_o gaze_v about_o we_o how_o to_o make_v ourselves_o iolie_a fellow_n alas_o we_o do_v but_o wander_v away_o from_o god_n when_o we_o step_v forth_o to_o advance_v ourselves_o before_o man_n therefore_o let_v we_o proceed_v with_o all_o lowliness_n and_o not_o be_v so_o fond_o and_o wicked_o dispose_v as_o to_o have_v a_o will_n to_o be_v prefer_v before_o our_o neighbour_n and_o so_o we_o see_v what_o moses_n mean_v to_o express_v here_o in_o say_v god_n will_v choose_v he_o out_o some_o one_o

that_o he_o fit_v between_o cherubin_n after_o the_o manner_n of_o man_n but_o that_o it_o be_v enough_o for_o you_o that_o his_o name_n be_v there_o that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o he_o give_v you_o

be_v it_o now_o with_o we_o for_o we_o have_v enemy_n which_o be_v much_o strong_a and_o stout_a in_o comparison_n of_o we_o than_o have_v the_o israeltes_n when_o they_o be_v to_o enter_v into_o
