- 1Obs. 6.
But yet in the next place,1 at last, these men shall perish, twenty five thousand and an hundred of these twenty six thousand perished, and all the men of Gibeah, and the City was burnt. So, let men stand out as stubbornly and stoutly as they will, and say, What care we? they will lose their lives and estates rather than they will submit and yield, well, they may lose all at length; you have yet (it may be) a day (some victory) and prevailed at some time, yea, but let not mens hearts be hardened by that, nor let none of the other side be discouraged, for certainly those that stand desperately out in defending of wickedness they shall perish at last; so did the Gibeonites.
