Take but another instance among many; Judahs war against Benjamin, 1Judges 20.18. Judah went out against Benjamin, and they went out, not only by Gods permission, but by his approbation too, by his special licence and commission: they took counsel of God, and God bid them go; yet you see, the first battle they lost two and twenty thousand of their men: they went to take counsel again, God bids them go forth, at that time they lost eighteen thousand more, went to the worst far, Verse 25. though at last, upon their humiliation and reformation, God appeared for them. So that you see, a man may go in Gods way, undertake a work by warrant and commission from Heaven, and yet meet with oppressing difficulties in the carrying of it on.
