Concerning the time of the peoples rest under Othniel, even forty years, 1I take it to be the true meaning of the story, and agreeable to the original, howsoever the interpreters differ about it, the best translation maketh for it. But in the story of Ehud, vers. 30. more (if God will) shall be said of it, where the use of it shall be also added.

And this of the first example of the three before mentioned.
