that_o by_o isachar_n couch_v like_o a_o ass_n be_v mean_v their_o great_a labour_n and_o study_v in_o the_o law_n because_o in_o the_o first_o book_n of_o the_o chronicle_n and_o the_o twelve_o

but_o a_o strain_a interpretation_n for_o all_o that_o can_v be_v collect_v from_o hence_o be_v this_o that_o the_o isacharites_n which_o take_v david_n part_n against_o the_o house_n of_o saul_n be_v

isachar_n couch_n like_o a_o ass_n between_o two_o burden_n couch_v between_o two_o burden_n etc._n etc._n the_o word_n in_o the_o original_n which_o be_v mishphat_n signify_v both_o a_o bind_v a_o

from_o that_o metaphor_n which_o jacob_n use_v call_v isachar_n a_o ass_n betwixt_o who_o &_o isachar_n there_o be_v this_o similitude_n as_o the_o ass_n yield_v his_o back_n to_o the_o burden_n and_o willing_o bear_v it_o and_o pli_v his_o provender_n notwithstanding_o his_o burden_n so_o shall_v isachar_n labour_v as_o a_o ass_n in_o till_v of_o the_o ground_n and_o shall_v yield_v to_o the_o

therefore_o liable_a to_o the_o most_o burden_n because_o ever_o the_o weak_a in_o reputation_n go_v to_o the_o wall_n &_o therefore_o their_o plough_n must_v feed_v the_o epicure_n with_o dainty_a

because_o rest_n be_v good_a &_o the_o land_n pleasant_a therefore_o he_o shall_v pay_v tribute_n to_o procure_v rest_n &_o willing_o take_v pain_n because_o the_o land_n yield_v he_o fruit_n of_o

make_v he_o subject_a to_o tribute_n but_o he_o be_v content_v with_o any_o imposition_n to_o obtain_v his_o freedom_n and_o live_v at_o home_n because_o the_o retire_a and_o quiet_a life_n be_v the_o best_a of_o all_o other_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o tribe_n of_o israel_n which_o have_v not_o so_o heavy_a a_o burden_n lay_v upon_o they_o be_v ever_o at_o the_o king_n command_n either_o for_o
