God said not that he would deliver Israel, but he declared that it should be done by Gideon, who therefore marvelleth, forasmuch as he saw that he wanted all such things as were requisite to so great a work. For war could not be made by a poor man, and one of the base sort, such a one as Gideon perceived himself to be: when as to the accomplishing thereof were required power, riches, and especially authority. Wherefore Aristotle to civil felicity, hath joined outward goods, and that namely for this, because they are necessary instruments of acts most noble.
