Is not the Lord? The interrogation which the Prophet useth, doth not only stir up and encourage the heart of Barak, but also vehemently commandeth him, as the Latin Poet also hath said: Shall not armour dispatch the matter, and shall they not follow me through the whole City? But here may somewhat be doubted, in that our text hath, that the Lord went forth before Barak, when as the Chaldee paraphrast turneth it, an angel. For it sayeth, Shall not the angel of the Lord prosper thee? And undoubtedly this paraphrasis showeth,1 what was the cause why Augustine read (as we have before admonished), that Barak said unto Deborah go with me, because I know not in what day GOD shall prosper his angel & me. Wherefore we must think, that the Greek interpreters had these words of the Chaldee paraphrast, which afterward crept into the text, but yet out of place. But as touching the matter,2 either is true, both that GOD and his angel were present and fought on the Hebrews side. And undoubtedly Christ was that angel which defended the Jews and fought for them. Of Malachi the Prophet he is called the Angel: and in Exodus God promised both, that he himself would come with his people, and also send his angel, for our Christ both is GOD and also had ever with him angels as Ministers defending the Hebrews.

But here may somewhat be doubted, in that our text hath, that the Lorde went forth before Barac, when as the Chaldey paraphrast turneth it, an aungell. For it sayeth, Shall not the aungell of the Lorde prosper thee? And vndoubtedly this paraphrasis sheweth,1 what was the cause why Augustine read (as we haue before admonished), that Barac sayde vnto Deborah go with me, bycause I knowe not in what day GOD shall prosper hys aungell & me. Wherfore we must thinke, that the Greke interpretors had these wordes of the Chaldey paraphrast, which afterwarde crepte into the texte, but yet out of place. But as touchyng the matter,2
