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,2 he was reconciled unto God. And that he had faith, manifestly appeareth by that, which he prayed. How (saith Paul) did they call upon god, in whom they believed not? And in the Epistle to the Hebrews, Samson is numbered among them, which being excellent in faith, wrought wonderful things.
