Abimelech also should rather thus have said with himself: If these things have chanced unto them, what shall then happen unto me? Let us also speak thus with our selves. If by the Turks and Saracens so grievous things have happened unto the Grecians, Hungarians, and Africans, what shall then become of us at the length? Except we repent, we shall likewise perish.

1A piece of a millstone. This Hebrew word Rachab signifieth a millstone. But there are two millstones, namely that that is above, and that that is beneath. The higher is he, which is called Rachab, because it is put upon the other, and after a sort rideth upon it. The other is called Schachab, because it seemeth to lye still. By what means the woman had a piece of a millstone in the upper part of the house, it appeareth not. Howbeit it is very likely, that they carried up stones, and great heavy pieces of rocks into the upper parts of the houses, to have them in a readiness to beat back the enemy.
