THE FORTY TWO SERMON ON THE SIXTH CHAPTER OF THE BOOK OF JUDGES.
THE FORTIE TWO SERMON ON THE SIXTH CHAPTER OF THE BOOKE OF IVDGES.
WE have heard of Gideons faith and wisdom about the 1casting down of the altar of Baal: and we may see a good reason why he was fain to use the best and surest means for the effecting of it, and for the overthrow of their idolatry. First, seeing it was stablished among them, and had taken root: therefore all that he could do was little enough to throw it down. And also for that the people were so superstitiously addicted thereto, and so delighted in it. But let us now see in what outrageous manner the people inquire after the man that had done it: and when they with consent agreed, that it was Gideon, how furiously they sought to have him put to death.
