1There may in deed be drawn an argument of the events, but not of necessity, yea scarce probable. For the passage from the effects to the cause, is not firm, unless the effects and causes be necessary. Wherefore this argument is of no force: The Israelites have a good cause, therefore they shall not fall in battle: for it may be, that God will illustrate his glory, yea even with the slaughter of them. And this argument also is no stronger then that: The Beniamites overcame, wherefore they had the better cause. These things I have spoken the more at large, to the end we should not waver in mind, or doubt of the goodness of our cause, if peradventure the things go not prosperously with us.

And this argument also is no stronger then that: The Beniamites ouercame, wherefore they had the better cause. These things I haue spoken the more at large, to the end we should not wauer in mynde, or doubt of the goodnes of our cause, if peraduenture the thinges go not prosperously wyth vs.

1Farther, in this place is to be noted the nature of godly men: when they have received the overthrow, they flee unto God. But the ungodly, even when they get the victory, do not give thanks unto God, as now we read not that the Beniamites gave thanks unto God for their good successes, we have heard of none of their prayers, nor of any confidence they put in God: yea rather there arose so great security and insolencye of some of their successes, that they brake out of the City, and pursued the enemies, farther then was meet or convenient.
