not_o much_o mention_n of_o the_o bring_v forth_o of_o any_o woman_n before_o the_o flood_n therefore_o it_o may_v be_v think_v that_o their_o birth_n be_v comprehend_v in_o the_o narration_n of_o

that_o they_o have_v repent_v then_o if_o they_o have_v never_o sin_v hence_o we_o must_v learn_v the_o duty_n of_o brother_n one_o to_o another_o even_o to_o communicate_v their_o wealth_n one_o to_o

that_o when_o man_n have_v true_o repent_v of_o their_o sin_n be_v they_o never_o so_o great_a their_o sin_n must_v be_v forget_v and_o they_o must_v be_v accept_v and_o regard_v even_o as_o if_o

yet_o that_o be_v not_o out_o of_o a_o revengeful_a passion_n but_o out_o of_o a_o desire_n to_o bring_v they_o to_o repentance_n for_o their_o sin_n for_o he_o know_v they_o have_v be_v very_o wild_a
