to_o balaam_n we_o may_v answer_v that_o he_o speak_v of_o jehovah_n as_o the_o god_n of_o israel_n and_o his_o word_n 21._o numb_a 23_o 21._o be_v jehovah_n his_o god_n be_v with_o he_o which_o seem_v direct_o to_o mean_v that_o their_o god_n who_o by_o they_o be_v call_v jehovah_n be_v with_o they_o and_o if_o he_o do_v not_o mean_v so_o why_o do_v he_o say_v any_o thing_n more_o than_o his_o god_n be_v with_o he_o whence_o it_o seem_v plain_a that_o he_o mean_v by_o it_o that_o the_o god_n who_o be_v more_o peculiar_o style_v jehovah_n among_o they_o be_v ready_a to_o help_v and_o defend_v they_o and_o it_o be_v very_o probable_a that_o the_o name_n be_v only_o know_v among_o the_o jew_n by_o the_o very_a signification_n of_o it_o according_a to_o dr._n lightfoot_n which_o be_v

answer_n to_o our_o author_n i_o will_v venture_v to_o advance_v this_o probable_a account_n of_o it_o that_o though_o job_n as_o be_v now_o general_o believe_v live_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o israelite_n bondage_n in_o egypt_n and_o be_v not_o in_o the_o same_o covenant_n with_o they_o yet_o the_o jew_n meet_v with_o the_o history_n of_o he_o may_v change_v the_o name_n of_o god_n into_o that_o of_o jehovah_n and_o probable_o moses_n himself_o may_v do_v it_o or_o if_o the_o author_n or_o translator_n of_o that_o book_n be_v moses_n or_o one_o of_o the_o jewish_a nation_n he_o to_o make_v the_o whole_a old_a testament_n of_o a_o piece_n may_v call_v god_n by_o the_o name_n of_o jehovah_n though_o neither_o job_n nor_o his_o friend_n know_v any_o thing_n of_o it_o as_o also_o thereby_o to_o show_v the_o israelite_n and_o other_o that_o it_o be_v the_o same_o jehovah_n who_o be_v their_o god_n and_o in_o covenant_n with_o they_o lest_o the_o people_n who_o be_v very_o prone_a to_o idolatry_n shall_v think_v it_o be_v some_o other_o god_n who_o have_v bring_v such_o strange_a thing_n to_o pass_v and_o thereupon_o pay_v adoration_n to_o he_o these_o be_v the_o two_o chief_a argument_n our_o author_n insist_o upon_o all_o the_o rest_n be_v very_o little_a if_o at_o all_o to_o his_o purpose_n and_o see_v his_o 90._o pag._n 90._o lordship_n in_o answer_n to_o his_o

i_o do_v see_v what_o reason_n he_o have_v to_o call_v it_o a_o federal_a whimsy_n here_o i_o can_v help_v observe_v our_o 45._o pag._n 45._o author_n conclusion_n of_o this_o paragraph_n which_o

that_o christ_n be_v god_n who_o manifest_v himself_o in_o our_o flesh_n which_o be_v so_o dissonant_n to_o all_o his_o former_a modes_n of_o expression_n and_o avow_a notion_n which_o what_o they_o

against_o a_o foresee_a charge_n of_o heresy_n which_o certain_o he_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o fear_v since_o it_o do_v not_o appear_v that_o he_o have_v hitherto_o say_v any_o thing_n that_o look_v
