they_o all_o that_o i_o shall_v say_v in_o this_o controversy_n about_o the_o two_o creature_n here_o and_o in_o the_o next_o chapter_n speak_v of_o be_v first_o that_o the_o most_o common_a and_o receive_a opinion_n among_o very_o learned_a man_n be_v that_o by_o behemoth_n be_v mean_v the_o elephant_n not_o the_o egyptian_a elephant_n as_o the_o hippopotame_n have_v be_v call_v but_o the_o proper_a elephant_n as_o also_o that_o by_o leviathan_n we_o be_v to_o understand_v the_o whale_n or_o some_o mighty_a fish_n of_o the_o cetacean_n breed_v now_o as_o it_o be_v never_o good_a to_o

and_o that_o the_o whale_n for_o greatness_n much_o exceed_v and_o be_v in_o that_o respect_n at_o least_o more_o famous_a than_o the_o crocodile_n therefore_o the_o lord_n speak_v of_o the_o chief_a

rather_o than_o the_o latter_a three_o i_o must_v confess_v i_o have_v a_o little_a prejudice_n against_o expound_v behemoth_n by_o the_o hippopotame_n and_o leviathan_n by_o the_o crocodile_n even_o 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 they_o have_v no_o commendable_a signification_n in_o our_o moral_n they_o bear_v the_o resemblance_n of_o indifferent_a and_o middle_a man_n who_o be_v as_o we_o speak_v proverbial_o neither_o flesh_n nor_o fish_n who_o abide_v neither_o at_o land_n nor_o in_o the_o water_n neither_o in_o this_o nor_o that_o but_o to_o serve_v their_o own_o turn_n and_o reach_v their_o own_o end_n can_v be_v here_o and_o there_o or_o any_o where_n or_o any_o thing_n now_o the_o lord_n describe_v here_o as_o be_v say_v before_o such_o animal_n as_o be_v the_o chief_a of_o his_o way_n and_o work_n amphibion_n to_o i_o seem_v not_o so_o competent_a for_o nor_o deserve_v of_o such_o high_a eulogium_n second_o with_o the_o favour_n of_o that_o learned_a author_n it_o appear_v to_o i_o more_o
