observe_v that_o the_o word_n brethren_n be_v various_o use_v as_o well_o in_o the_o book_n of_o god_n as_o our_o common_a language_n for_o not_o only_o they_o be_v call_v brethren_n that_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o same_o as_o jacob_n and_o esau_n but_o they_o also_o who_o derive_v their_o original_a from_o the_o same_o stock_n so_o abraham_n and_o lot_n though_o but_o brother_n son_n be_v call_v brethren_n people_n of_o the_o same_o nation_n such_o as_o follow_v the_o same_o art_n or_o trade_n that_o be_v partner_n in_o the_o same_o office_n or_o employment_n be_v call_v brethren_n
