THE SEVENTY THREE SERMON ON THE XIII. CHAPTER OF THE BOOKE OF IVDGES.
Thus he still seeing the man of God (as he took him to 1be) to show such grace in his speech, was the more knit to him, and so desired to know his name: and he shows him the reason, to wit, that when it should come to pass, which he promised, Manoah might honour him with some reward: The Angel seeing it a needless thing that he asked, did not answer to him in word: but thought it fitter to make himself known to him in deeds then in words, and thereby to confirm the former promise made to them. And this to be the meaning of the verse, the next words do prove, namely, that he did wonderfully; for so are the words in the original: he was marvellous, or he did wonderfully.
