31 So let all thine enemies perish, O Lord: But they that love thee let them be as the Sun when he riseth in his strength. And the land had rest .40. years.

The things which are now mentioned, the holy Ghost doth therefore speak them by Deborah, to express with a great emphasis and signification, that those things do happen unto the ungodly which they be afeard of: & the things which they hope happen clean contrary. Therefore the song is now concluded with an elegant exclamation, and consisteth of things contrary: So let all thine enemies perish O Lord, as Sisera hath fallen. This her Apostrophe or turning to God stirreth us up, that we should with a singular affection embrace God the author of so great & notable acts. Deborah also in this speaking, declareth, that she setteth not forth her own cause, for she saith not, let my enemies perish, but thine. But they that love thee, let them continually increase in all kind of good things, as the sun increaseth from his rising, until it be none wherein he is most strong ether from the spring time to the highest of summer. She addeth not, Let them that love him be saved as the Antithesis or contrary position required. For these two are contraries, namely to be saved, and to perish. But let them be increased, saith she, & strengthened, as the sun increaseth from his rising unto his strength. By this conclusion the use of example is taught under the form of a prayer. Sisera is overthrown, but the people of Israel is increased with a notable victory: so therefore shall it come to pass and happen unto us. We shall be delivered if we be godly, & they which do persecute us for Christs cause, shall perish. Wherefore it is profitable, by examples to gather out rules of the government of God, which rules with fruit let us apply unto our own things. This performed David, as touching
