for_o this_o reason_n because_o they_o be_v amphibion_n for_o first_o as_o all_o creature_n of_o that_o sort_n have_v a_o uncouthness_n and_o a_o kind_n of_o monstrosity_n in_o their_o natural_n so_o

because_o in_o those_o old_a testament_n time_n the_o promise_n go_v much_o in_o temporal_n second_o because_o job_n have_v lose_v his_o credit_n in_o the_o world_n when_o he_o lose_v his_o estate_n spiritual_a supply_n will_v never_o have_v set_v he_o right_o in_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o world_n he_o have_v suffer_v as_o to_o his_o reputation_n in_o spiritual_n by_o his_o loss_n in_o temporal_n

therefore_o as_o the_o point_n say_v it_o be_v a_o truth_n that_o while_o we_o be_v careful_a about_o spiritual_n the_o lord_n take_v care_n of_o our_o temporal_n mat._n 6.33_o seek_v you_o first_o
