Now were other of the Israelites gathered together, as Asher, Naphthali, and Manasseh, Gideon also sent unto the Ephraites, that the victory which he had gotten ⟨p. 141⟩might on every side have a lucky end. He envieth not to have a companion of his glory, when as yet he with a few put himself in great danger. I would to God we were so conjoined in the Church, that when we have begone any good and profitable institution, we would for the performance of the same, desire other to help us: but, which is to be lamented, as our sins do deserve, we oftentimes let one an other.

Come down against the Midianites, & take before them the waters. As touching these waters, the Interpreters do vary. Kimhi thinketh that it is not Jordan, his reason is, because it is added, even unto Jordan. R. Semoloh understandeth that of those waters which divideth Palestine, or the land of Canaan, from Syria, and among those waters he reckoneth Jordan. But the place of Beth-Bara is to be noted, because of the first chap. of John, 1where our translation hath Bethany, which in deed lieth far distant from Jordan, neither did John there baptise those that came unto him. But the Greek text hath Bethabara. Wherefore it is thought that this place, whereof we now entreat, is there meant. He commandeth that the waters should straightway be prevented from those which fled, whilst yet they were troubled with fear, before they should recover strength unto them again.
