The works of the Reverend and learned John Lightfoot D. D., late Master of Katherine Hall in Cambridge such as were, and such as never before were printed : in two volumes : with the authors life and large and useful tables to each volume : also three maps : one of the temple drawn by the author himself, the others of Jervsalem and the Holy Land drawn according to the author's chorography, with a description collected out of his writings.

CHAP. II. to Ver. 11.

He had [Othniel 15] been with Judah and made him victorious till he also spares the Canaanites, and [Othniel 16] either for fear or neglect, lets the inhabitants of the vale inhabite there still [Othniel 17] [〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉: ver. 19. it is left to construe indifferently, either he would not, or [Othniel 18] could not, or durst not drive them out.
