The scripture only maketh mention of this act, but praiseth it not: as also it is there written that Judas had to do with his daughter in law, but it is not allowed. So there can nothing be gathered by these words,1 why the act of Jephthah should be praised. Farther Augustine thinketh with Jerome, that god would punish the rashness of the vow in the father, by the death of his daughter. But there are two places, saith he, why I cannot reprehend Jephthah. Because in the Epistle to the Hebrews he is numbered among the saints, & in this place it is written, that the spirit of the Lord was upon him. But those holy men which are reckoned unto the Hebrews, did they never sin? Undoubtedly their sins also are set forth in the holy scriptures. Gideon, who is in the number, a little before his death made an Ephod, which was the destruction both of himself & of his house. But as touching the other place: The sprite of the Lord came upon him. But this nothing letteth, but that afterward he might fall. But Jephthah thou wilt say had the victory, but Gideon after that act, nothing went well with him. Yea rather saith he, Gideon did before after a sort tempt God, & yet he had the victory. So much of Augustine.
The scripture only maketh mencyon of this acte, but praiseth it not: as also it is there written that Iudas had to do with his daughter in law, but it is not allowed. So there can nothing be gathered by these wordes,1 why the acte of Iiphtah should be praysed. Farther Augustine thinketh with Ierome, that god woulde punish the rashenes of the vow in the father, by the death of hys daughter. But there are two places, sayth he, why I cannot reprehend Iiphtah. Because in the Epistle to ye Hebrewes he is numbred among the saints, & in this place it is written, that the spirite of the Lord was vpon him. But those holy men which are rekoned vnto the Hebrewes, did they neuer sinne? Vndoubtedly their sinnes also ar set forth in the holy scriptures. Gideon, who is in ye number, a little before his deth made an Ephod, which was ye destructiō both of himself & of his house. But as touchinge the other place: The sprite of the Lorde came vpon hym. But this nothing letteth, but that afterward he might fall. But Iiphtah thou wilte saye had the victory, but Gidion after that acte, nothing went well with him. Yea rather sayth he, Gideon did before after a sort tempt God, & yet he had the victory. So much of Augustine.
