that_o man_n shall_v not_o so_o set_v by_o they_o and_o hold_v they_o for_o a_o god_n thus_o oftentimes_o god_n permit_v they_o to_o go_v astray_o and_o err_v and_o yet_o then_o he_o rebuke_n they_o also_o by_o those_o who_o they_o ought_v to_o teach_v as_o we_o see_v here_o in_o abimilech_n how_o he_o must_v reprove_v abraham_n and_o make_v he_o ashamed_a that_o he_o will_v not_o spare_v his_o

a_o twofold_a sun_n do_v afterward_o arise_v and_o shine_v on_o he_o viz._n one_o be_v that_o abimilech_n do_v acknowledge_v he_o and_o learned_a to_o fear_v the_o lord_n and_o give_v the_o land_n for_o a_o possession_n unto_o abraham_n he_o give_v he_o also_o gift_n for_o rebuke_n as_o the_o reproof_n of_o the_o saint_n be_v that_o man_n shall_v fear_v at_o god_n reproof_n thus_o the_o sun_n
