They send spies to spy out for them some commodious place in the plain. They send out five spies. Mikstsothim: which is from their coasts, & they are signified to be in extremities: which may taken two ways, namely that these spies were either of the basest sort, or of the highest. For either of these in their order are extreme. They were in deed valiant and warlike men, but peradventure obscure, whereby ⟨p. 242⟩they might be the more unknown of their enemies. For they ye are noble are more easily known. Contrarily other think that it is declared, that they were most honest & most noble: because spies ought to be wise men, & such as have good skill in warlike affairs. Homer writeth that Ulysses was commanded to be a spy,1 and that he in the apparel of a beggar went thorough Troy. Moses also sent Joshua & Caleb which were very excellent men, to search out the land of Canaan. But whether they were of the basest sort or of the highest, it helpeth not much unto the matter. And peradventure this opinion is more simple, namely that they were sent from the utter parts of the places wherein the Danites dwelled.

Mikstsothim: which is frō theyr coastes, & they ar signified to be in extremies: which may taken two wayes, namely yt these spyes were either of ye basest sort, or of ye highest. For either of these in their order ar extreme. They wer in deede valiant and warlike men, but peraduēture obscure, wherby ⟨p. 242⟩they might be the more vnknowē of their enemyes. For they ye ar noble ar more easely knowen. Cōtraryly other thinke yt it is declared, that they were most honest & most noble: bycause spyes ought to be wise men, & such as haue good skil in warlike affaires. Homere writeth that Vlisses was commaūded to be a spye,1 and that he in the apparel of a beggar went thorough Troy. Moses also sent Iosua & Chaleb which were very excellēt men, to searche out the land of Chanaan. But whether they were of ye basest sorte or of the hyghest, it helpeth not much vnto ye matter. And paraduenture this opinion is more simple, namely that they were sent from the vtter partes of the places wherin the Danites dwelled.
