that_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n move_v samson_n at_o time_n in_o the_o camp_n of_o dan._n that_o be_v god_n after_o a_o special_a manner_n stir_v he_o up_o now_o and_o then_o to_o that_o

for_o the_o declaration_n of_o sincerity_n observe_v it_o balaam_n doubtless_o have_v special_a motion_n and_o internal_a stir_n not_o to_o go_v about_o to_o curse_n israel_n and_o the_o angel_n of_o

of_o proud_a haman_n and_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n external_o after_o a_o special_a manner_n second_v which_o he_o observe_v and_o answerable_o move_v in_o this_o golden_a opportunity_n and_o
