Come, arise, the land is large and wide, neither is there any thing wanting in it. 1They do in few words finish their exhortation appointed. Then are we stirred up to take in hand any thing, when it is easy & profitable. These two things are the principal points of this exhortation. They declare unto their people, that that land is good and fertile, as wherein wanteth nothing that serveth for plentifulness and abundance. In placing our selves these things only are wont to be considered. And the reasons thereof they conclude by security. Then they add spurs to prick them, when they say: God hath given it into your hands, which thing peradventure they add, because of the Levite, which answered them, that their journey was in the sight of the Lord: or because that portion of the land when it was divided, fell to the tribe of Dan.

- 1What are the chief points of this exhortation.What are the chiefe poyntes of this exhortacion.
There went out six hundred men. It is not described after what manner, or with what furniture they went forth, only it is said that they were armed. But by those things which follow, we understand that they had their cattle, children and wives in their company. And they pitched in Kiriath jearim. It seemeth that it was a journey of three days: for they pitched twice before they came thither: unless peradventure they went a by way, and not the right way. Kiriath-jearim is a City of woods or forests. Whereby is given a reason why that place was called the tents of Dan. And it lay on the backside of the city of Kiriath-jearim. They came to the house of Micah, and there they pitched again.
