Vers. 10. The Lord hath made bare his holy arm in the sight of all the Gentiles, and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of God.
Vers. 10. The Lord hath made bare his holy arme in the sight of all the Gentiles, and all the ends of the earth shall see the saluation of God.
1Hath made bare.] This is a similitude taken from men of arms, who turned up their sleeves when they prepared themselves to the combat. Though to make bare here signifies not so much the making of the arm naked, as the manifesting of it, and stretching it forth. For when we sit still, our arms are lightly folded one in another, or we cover them: so in regard of our senselessness, we imagine that God sits idle, as men are wont to do, until he manifest his power.
1HAth made bare.] This is a similitude taken from men of armes, who turned vp their sleeues when they prepared themselues to the combate. Though to make bare heere signifies not so much the making of the arme naked, as the manifesting of it, and stretching it forth. For when wee sit still, our armes are lightly folded one in another, or wee couer them: so in regard of our senselesnes, we imagin that God sits idle, as men are wont to do, vntill he manifest his power.
- 1God discovers his arm two ways.God discouers his arme two waies.
