Neither can it be properly said that Samson killed himself.1 He dyed in deed, but he prescribed not unto himself this end, namely to dye. But sought vengeance of his enemies, which he understood would by this means ensue. The Apostles also did thus make reckoning with themselves:2 If as we have begun we teach unto the people the kingdom of Christ, undoubtedly we shall be killed: and in that they went on with their purpose to teach the Gospel, it cannot be justly said, that they killed them selves. Paul also, when he should go unto Jerusalem, and Agabus the Prophet told him, that the Jews would bind him at Jerusalem, what did he when he heard these things? Did he forsake his vocation? No verily. But rather affirmed that he was ready both to be bound, and to dye for Christ. So saith Samson: Let my soul dye with the Philistines. He did not rashly incur death, but followeth his vocation. Soldiers when they go on warfare, if a man peradventure say unto them: ye shall be slain with guns, or with the sword, or with arrows. They will answer, if they be men of valiant courage: we seek not death but victory, or we follow the defence of our own things, whereunto we are called.
Neyther can it be properlye sayde that Samson kylled himselfe.1 He dyed in deede, but he prescribed not vnto hymself this ende, namely to dye. But sought vengeaunce of hys enemies, whych he vnderstoode woulde by this meanes ensue. The Apostles also dyd thus make reckonyng wyth themselues:2 If as wee haue begonne we teache vnto the people the kingdome of Christ, vndoubtedly we shall bee kylled: and in that they went on wyth their purpose to teache the Gospell, it cannot be iustly sayd, that they kylled them selues. Paule also, when hee shoulde go vnto Ierusalem, and Agabus the Prophet tolde hym, that the Iewes woulde bynde hym at Ierusalem, what dyd hee when hee hearde these thinges? Dyd he forsake hys vocation? No verely. But rather affirmed that hee was ready both to be bounde, and to dye for Christ. So sayth Samson: Let my soule dye wyth the Philistians. He dyd not rashely incurre death, but followeth hys vocation. Souldiours when they go on warrefare, if a man peraduenture say vnto them: ye shall be slayne wyth gunnes, or wyth the swoorde, or wyth arrowes. They wyll aunswere, if they be men of valiaunt courage: we seeke not death but victorye, or we followe the defence of our owne thynges, whereunto we are called.
