           but
           only
           desire
           such
           men

           not
           honesty

           but
           these
           Israelites
           had
           this
           reason
           :
           For
           they
           did
           purposely
           passe
           by
           without
           any
           shew
           of
           hostility
           ,
           and
           exprest
           a
           command
           for
           their
           resolution
           .
           Therefore
           their
           first
           war
           was
           a
           defensive
           ,
           driven
           the
           next
           day
           into
           an
           offensive
           ,
           when
           they
           were
           not

           set
           with
           the
           sun
           ,
           without
           they
           meant
           to
           give
           place
           to
           
           these
           divellish
           men
           ,
           for
           they
           would
           have
           fallen
           in
           with
           any
           side
           to
           molest
           them
           (
           as
           after
           they
           did
           in
           the
           lives
           of
           the
           Judges
           )
           so
           that
           it
           was
           not
           wisdome
           to
           forget
           them
           ,
           
           that
           were
           resolved
           to
           make

           more
           in
           remembrance
           .
           If
           they
           were

           they

           by
           way
           of

           but
           from
           malignant
           malice

           but
           this

           The

           for

           molested
           .
           But
           these
           Amalekites
           cut
           off
           those
           persons
           ,
           that
           the
           Lord
           valued
           at
           a
           great
           rate
           and
           ransome
           ,
           and
           they
           could
           not
           recompence
           the
           Lord
           his
           dammage
           by
           one
           daies

           So
           that
           the
