It appeareth by that which is said here, that as the Angel willed Manoah to do, even so he did: I mean, offer a burnt offering unto the Lord. Now 1where it is objected that it was not lawful for him to offer in any place, but at Jerusalem, and therefore that it was not lawful for him to offer where the Angel met him; I answer, that it was lawful to offer in other places while the Ark was carried about, and was stayed in no certain place: but after the building of the temple at Jerusalem, then indeed that law took effect, and it was not lawful to sacrifice elsewhere, but all high places were then to be taken away. And this I say, supposing the action to be ordinary; 2but indeed this of Manoah had bin warrantable at any time, as being grounded upon divine warrant, commanding him so to do.
