begin_v to_o reign_v see_v 1_o king._n 14.21_o how_o be_v it_o possible_a then_o that_o solomon_n can_v beget_v a_o son_n when_o he_o be_v but_o a_o child_n himself_o or_o of_o eleven_o year_n of_o age_n according_a to_o the_o septuagint_n this_o difficulty_n do_v strange_o surprise_v a_o primitive_a bishop_n by_o name_n vitalis_n who_o propose_v this_o doubt_n to_o st._n jerome_n who_o be_v strange_o put_v to_o it_o to_o return_v a_o answer_n and_o the_o learned_a holy_a father_n be_v force_v at_o last_o to_o say_v that_o the_o letter_n of_o the_o scripture_n do_v often_o kill_v but_o the_o spirit_n enlivens_fw-la the_o difficulty_n be_v still_o great_a than_o what_o vitalis_n propose_v to_o st._n jerome_n in_o his_o epistle_n rehoboam_n be_v the_o son_n of_o naamah_n a_o ammonitish_a stranger_n woman_n as_o you_o may_v see_v in_o 1_o king._n 14.31_o now_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o solomon_n do_v not_o abandon_v the_o law_n of_o god_n nor_o give_v himself_o to_o strange_a woman_n till_o the_o end_n of_o his_o reign_n see_v 1_o king._n 9_o where_o he_o have_v so_o many_o strange_a wife_n and_o concubine_n beside_o his_o lawful_a queen_n the_o king_n of_o

which_o be_v the_o time_n wherein_o he_o do_v what_o be_v right_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o the_o lord_n which_o i_o think_v be_v demonstration_n that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n be_v not_o design_v to_o teach_v mankind_n geometry_n or_o instruct_v they_o in_o chronology_n the_o learned_a anthony_n godean_n lord_n and_o bishop_n of_o venice_n seem_v to_o have_v be_v sensible_a of_o this_o great_a

when_o he_o begin_v his_o reign_n upon_o what_o ground_n or_o from_o what_o authority_n i_o know_v not_o but_o this_o agree_v better_a with_o the_o age_n of_o solomon_n son_n rehoboam_n but_o it_o do_v not_o remove_v the_o difficulty_n so_o well_o as_o what_o i_o have_v say_v i_o come_v now_o in_o the_o last_o place_n to_o perform_v what_o i_o undertake_v which_o be_v to_o prove_v that_o the_o
