1And Barak said unto her, If thou wilt goo with me, I will go. In this place it seemeth might be demanded, whether Barak were doubtful, and believed not at the beginning (as he ought to have done) the words of Deborah. And that seemeth to some absurd, when as in the Epistle to the Hebrews the 11. chap: Barak is reckoned with Sampson, Gideon Jephthah and others, which by faith overcame kingdoms. And therefore it seemeth that his faith being praised by the testimony of God, ought not by our judgement to be impaired. Wherefore they affirm that he would have Deborah to go with him, not because he believed not the promise of God, but that he might have a Prophetess ready and at hand, whose Counsel he might use in ordering his war, in pitching his Camps, and other chances which are wont to happen in wars. And I am not ignorant,2 that Augustine readeth it, after this manner. Because I can not tell in what day the Lord will prosper his angel with me, &c. As though he should have said, I will therefore have thee with me, because thou being endowed with the spirit of Prophesy (which hath not happened unto me) shalt easily know, in what day the angel of the Lord will luckily fight for us.
1And Barac sayde vnto her, If thou wilte goo with me, I wyll go. In this place it semeth might be demaunded, whether Barac were doubtful, and beleued not at the beginning (as he ought to haue done) the wordes of Deborah. And that semeth to some absurde, when as in the Epistle to the Hebrues the 11. chap: Barac is reckened with Sampson, Gedeon Iephthe and others, which by fayth ouercame kyngdomes. And therefore it semeth that his fayth beyng praysed by the testimony of God, ought not by our iudgement to be empared. Wherfore they affirme that he would haue Deborah to go with him, not bycause he beleued not the promise of God, but that he myght haue a Prophetesse ready and ac hande, whose Counsell he might vse in orderyng his warre, in pitching hys Campes, and other chaunces whiche are wonte to happen in warres. And I am not ignoraunt,2 that Augustine readeth it, after this manner. Bycause I can not tell in what day the Lorde will prosper his aungell with me, &c. As thoughe he should haue sayd, I wyll therefore haue thee with me, bycause thou beyng endewed with the spirite of Prophesy (whiche hath not happened vnto me) shalte easly knowe, in what daye the aungell of the Lorde will luckely fyght for vs.
