Strengthens himself against the Almighty.1
Strengthens himselfe against the Almighty.1
- 1[Greek or Hebrew] Roboravit, fortem bellatorem conatur see praebere, virum atque masculum; in Deum se erigere & insultare praesumpsit. Contra omnipotentem see virum exhibuit. Jun. [Greek or Hebrew]. 1 Cor. 16.13.〈non-Latin alphabet〉 Roboravit, fortem bellatorem conatur se praebere, virum atque masculum; in Deum se erigere & insultare praesumpsit. Contra omnipotentem se virum exhibuit. Jun. 〈non-Latin alphabet〉. 1 Cor. 16.13.
That is, As the Original imports, who makes himself a strong Warrior, and will show his valour against the Almighty: So Master Broughton, He would be valiant against the Almighty. Or as another translates to the letter of the Text, He shows himself a man against the Almighty; as if he had said, This wicked man strains all the strength he hath, to show himself a man of his hands, or to play the man against God. The Apostle useth that word, in reference to temptation, Play the men, or quit your selves like men: Saints play the man against Satan; wicked ones play the man against God: he strengthens himself against God. But how? What doth the wicked man to strengthen himself? Doth he gather Armies, lay in Ammunition, fortify Cities, ⟨p. 134⟩and Castles? Doth he thus strengthen himself against the Almighty? All these are no strength against God, and this is not the way the wicked man takes to strengthen himself against God; how then? He strengthens himself against God, by hardening his heart, by stopping his ears, by setting his face, by debauching his conscience against the call and command of God. Thus, He strengthens himself against the Almighty.
