1The original speaks only thus much, If of strength, he strong; we supply the word [speak] If men talk of strength, or boast of strength, or show forth their strength (we may supply it with any of those words) Lo, he is strong. As it is usual with us when we would set a man up, in the perfections of any quality, we say, What do ye speak of knowledge, why, There's a learned man! What do ye speak of riches, why, there's a rich man! &c. Such an emphasis is carried in this expression, If I speak of strength, why, here's one that is strong indeed!
