that_o jareb_n signify_v a_o defender_n or_o a_o avenger_n so_o that_o they_o send_v to_o the_o king_n of_o assyria_n as_o to_o one_o that_o shall_v be_v a_o defender_n or_o a_o avenger_n of_o they_o they_o do_v not_o seek_v unto_o god_n but_o they_o send_v to_o king_n jareb_n say_v he_o to_o their_o defender_n as_o many_o time_n in_o scorn_n we_o call_v man_n by_o the_o name_n of_o that_o they_o

therefore_o it_o be_v that_o they_o little_a mind_n god_n in_o their_o strait_n but_o send_v out_o for_o help_v unto_o the_o creature_n we_o see_v the_o way_n of_o carnal_a heart_n at_o this_o very_a
