THE SEVENTIE FIVE SERMON ON THE XIIII. CHAPTER OF THE BOOKE OF IVDGES.
Vers. 6. Then went Samson and his father and his mother down to Timnah, and came to the vineyards at Timnah, and behold a young lion roared upon him. 7. And the spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he tare him, as one should have rent a kid, and had nothing in his hand, neither told his father and his mother what he had done.
Vers. 6. Then went Samson and his father and his mother downe to Timnah, and came to the vineyards at Timnah, and behold a young lion rored vpon him. 7. And the spirit of the Lord came vpon him, and hee tare him, as one should haue rent a kid, and had nothing in his hand, neither told his father and his mother what he had done.
Now followeth the second general point in this second part of the Chapter, to wit, first, the double journey of Samson to this woman, which was to be his wife: (in both the which, he was accompanied with his father and mother:) whereby it appeareth that they knew Gods will then, about his marriage, better then they did before: and secondly, what fell out in both journeys by the way; and this to vers. 11. His first going to her at Timnah, with that which fell out therein, is laid forth in these two verses, and that is this: That as he went with his father and mother, (he going aside from them out of the way) a young lion met him, roaring on him, and the spirit of the Lord came upon him, and though he had nothing in his hand, yet he rent him in pieces: but he told not his father and mother what he had done.
