Mark further, Jacob after he was lame prevailed; Jacob 1had been wrestling all night, and got nothing, then the hollow of his thigh was touched and he was lame, now surely he will be overcome; shall he prevail now? he that could not prevail when he was so long and strong he is not like to prevail now, Oh! this is very useful and seasonable for us.
Mark further, Iacob after he was lame prevailed; Iacob 1had been wrastling all night, and got nothing, then the hollow of his theigh was toucht and he was lame, now surely he will be overcome; shall he prevail now? he that could not prevail when he was so long and strong he is not like to prevail now, Oh! this is very useful and seasonable for us.
- 1Expos.
That the times for the Churches prevailing, it is the times when they are most weak, when they are most unlikely to 1prevail, when they are lame, why then is the time for them to prevail; We are ready to think, Oh! if we could not get it when we had so much strength, is it like to be done now we have so little strength? Now by this Jacob came to be more humbled when his thigh was touched, so that he was lame: God uses to damp means, and to bring even the sentence of death before he doth intend to bring the greatest mercies.
