For this use are examples set forth unto the Church,1 that we in reading them should become better. Paul said: what soever things are before written, are written for our learning, that we through patience and consolation of the scriptures should have hope. Wherefore when we read that holy men were so corrected, we ought to tremble, least we also fall into the like anger of God. If we do not take such fruit by reading of the holy scriptures, we then read them in vain.

- 1What is the fruit of holy histories.
The Philistines give thanks unto Dagon their God for the victory. So were they delivered up into a reprobate sense, to give thanks for those things, for which they ought most of all to have been sorry. For how obtained they Samson? By the arts of an harlot, and by most filthy deceit. After sacrifices followeth a very sumptuous banquet. For in those holy services of Idols, was set forth a certain communion, that the people in that feast, should rejoice together with a certain common joy.
The Philistines geue thankes vnto Dagon their God for the victorye. So were they delyuered vp into a reprobate sense, to geue thankes for those thinges, for whych they ought most of all to haue bene sory. For how obtayned they Samson? By the artes of an harlot, and by most fylthye deceate. After sacrifices followeth a verye sumptuous banquet. For in those holye seruices of Idoles, was set foorth a certaine communion, that the people in that feast, shoulde reioyce together wyth a certaine common ioy.
