The hebrews when they were afflicted, fled unto God by Christ, who was set before them in their sacrifices, and was there apprehended by faith. Therehence was all the utility of their sacrifices, to the offering or receiving whereof it was not lawful to come rashly, otherwise they should have been to their hurt, and should have kindled the wrath of God against them, which thing Paul hath very well admonished us of saying: He which eateth or drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh unto himself damnation.1 Wherefore in the law there were many purifications, sprinklings, and washings, before they came unto the holy services. And these men now repent, and throw themselves down unto the ground weeping before the Lord: for they were touched with the bitterness and grievousness of their sins.
The hebrewes when they were afflicted, fled vnto God by Christ, who was set before them in their sacrifices, and was there apprehended by fayth. Therehence was all the vtility of their sacrifices, to the offring or receiuinge wherof it was not lawfull to come rashly, otherwise they should haue beene to their hurt, and should haue kindled the wrath of God against them, which thinge Paul hath very well admonished vs of saying: He whiche eateth or drinketh vnworthely, eateth and drinketh vnto himself damnation.1 Wherefore in the law there were many purifications, sprinkelings, and washinges, before they came vnto the holy seruices. And these men now repent, and throwe themselues downe vnto the ground wepinge before the Lorde: for they were touched with the bitternes and greuousnes of their sinnes.

When god had heard the prayers of the Israelites, and had promised to deliver the Beniamites into their hands, he ministered also unto them secrete and sound counsels, namely that they should in a convenient place lay an ambushment, and making as though they would flee, draw away their enemies from the cities, that afterward they might oppress them, both before and behind. They had among them contrary counsels.
