Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to Tunnath; and came to the vineyards of Timnath; and behold, a young lion roared against him. Wherein is shewed, I. In six particulars, how clearly Samson doth type forth Jesus Christ, ... II. With respect unto Samsons marriage, ... III. As Samson loved and married an uncircumcised woman, ... IV. As Samson did overcome the young lion which opposed him: so Jesus Christ doth overcome and destroy that roaring lion, the Devil, that opposeth him.

indeed_o be_v many_o but_o time_n will_v but_o permit_v i_o to_o mention_v some_o few_o and_o the_o first_o main_n let_v or_o hindrance_n be_v the_o want_n of_o a_o thorough_a sight_n and_o a_o true_a
