And his name was Manoah, whose wife was barren. When God decreed to send any notable and excellent man,1 he very often times stirred him up out of a barren woman, which thing also we see came to pass in Samson, likewise in Samuel, and in John Baptist, and in very many other, that it might manifestly appear to be altogether the work of God. Barrenness among the Hebrews was a thing ignominious: but God because he would declare, that of things most contemptible, he can bring forth things excellent, hath very often times done after this manner. And that fault of barrenness was in this place in the woman, and not in the man. For sometimes it may be in both: but ⟨p. 201⟩the scripture here pronounceth it of the woman, and not of the man.
