to_o this_o purpose_n in_o that_o it_o signify_v not_o a_o scatter_a or_o a_o confusion_n but_o a_o most_o distinct_a partition_n or_o if_o there_o be_v no_o such_o insinuation_n in_o my_o text_n yet_o there_o may_v be_v many_o reason_n draw_v from_o the_o circumstance_n of_o this_o division_n which_o will_v enforce_v the_o same_o verity_n 1._o as_o first_o the_o custom_n and_o as_o it_o be_v the_o property_n of_o almighty_a god_n in_o all_o those_o action_n wherein_o he_o have_v a_o special_a hand_n and_o direct_v by_o a_o special_a providence_n according_a to_o that_o say_n god_n be_v

as_o it_o be_v the_o ground_n and_o foundation_n of_o the_o second_o propagation_n of_o mankind_n 2._o another_o argument_n lie_v in_o the_o end_n why_o god_n multiply_v the_o language_n of_o these_o builder_n
which_o be_v as_o it_o seem_v lest_o dwell_v altogether_o they_o shall_v confound_v their_o family_n and_o mingle_v together_o their_o generation_n which_o god_n in_o his_o wisdom_n will_v have_v

now_o if_o this_o be_v the_o purpose_n of_o almighty_a god_n than_o it_o needs_o must_v be_v that_o for_o the_o prosecution_n of_o this_o end_v each_o family_n shall_v dwell_v by_o itself_o and_o each_o nation_n by_o itself_o that_o so_o there_o may_v be_v a_o orderly_a division_n 3._o another_o reason_n may_v be_v draw_v from_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o patriarch_n who_o be_v all_o alive_a at_o this_o division_n and_o be_v as_o king_n in_o their_o generation_n see_v therefore_o that_o there_o be_v great_a difference_n in_o the_o part_n of_o the_o earth_n for_o the_o goodness_n of_o the_o soil_n and_o temperateness_n of_o the_o air_n it_o be_v their_o part_n to_o prevent_v the_o danger_n of_o contention_n among_o their_o son_n who_o shall_v have_v the_o better_a part_n of_o the_o

of_o the_o word_n to_o wit_v their_o sort_n after_o their_o family_n and_o after_o their_o nation_n or_o as_o the_o word_n be_v in_o my_o text_n after_o their_o family_n in_o their_o nation_n where_o
