It is said further here, that after this was done, the Angel did yet wonderfully 1in another thing: to wit, that when the flame ascended from the altar toward heaven, he ascended in it, Manoah and his wife beholding the same, that so they might know what he was who appeared to them, even the Angel of God, whom they took to be some man of God, or prophet. Thus they were better confirmed about that which was said to them concerning the child. This, as the former verse, confirmeth us in that we learned 2there, namely, what a care the Lord hath to ease our infirmities, and to relieve us therein: which being believed of us, is no small refreshing and encouragement to us. But of this point hath been already spoken much in the history of Gideon.
