David in his hundred and nine Psalm curseth him which should persecute him, whom the Lord hath stricken. Set thou (saith he) the sinner over him, and let Satan stand at his right hand.

1Samson being brought before them, declareth by the success, how dear he was to God. Not that the sufferance of the prison had purged his since, it is Christ only which purgeth since. Not that by patience or any other virtue he had deserved the mercy of God: away with all consideration of desert. But in prison he acknowledged his sin, he believed truly in Christ, and as it becometh a godly man, he repented, and that so much the more, how much greater the calamity was, wherewith he was oppressed. Wherefore being endued with faith, whereby he took hold of the mercy of God by Christ,
