§. 16. Of the meaning of the word Take.
The next point to be handled, is the Action whereunto we are exhorted in this wordk Take, which is the very same that he used before, verse 13. it is here used in as large a sense, both to take up, or to take unto one, and also to take again and recover a thing. Soldiers let not their Shield lie on the ground, but take it up in their hands, hold it our against their enemies, moving it up and down every way where the enemy strikes at them; if the enemy continue to fight, or renew the fight, they still hold it out again and again: yea, if by their own weakness, or through the violence of any blow, they let it fall, or slip, they presently seek to recover it, and take it up again.
