16 Then the Lord said unto him: Because I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite Midian as it were one man.
16 Then the Lord sayd vnto him: Bicause I wil be with thee, and thou shalt smite Madian as it were one man.
Cease of (saith he) these humane reasons, and have no regard to strength, riches, and authority: if these things should civilly be done, thou mightest justly require them. But now thou shalt use my power and might. Thou shalt save Israel, not by thine own might, but because I will be with thee. So God answered unto Moses when he detracted his message. So was it also said of Joshua, I will be with him. After that manner was Jeremiah answered, when he cried that he was a child, and could not well speak. I will be with thee (saith the Lord) thou shalt accomplish all these things to whatsoever I will send thee. Gideon therefore is instructed of the way or manner of the victory, namely, that God would have the handling and charge of it: and that chiefly by these words: Thou shalt destroy the Midianites as it were one man. For with God it is as easy to overthrow an infinite number, as one man. And the same thing as touching the marvellous murder of the Midianites, then undoubtedly took effect, when they smote one an other with their own swords, and by the impulsion of God they wounded one the other.

But now thou shalt vse my power and might. Thou shalt saue Israel, not by thine own might, but bycause I wyl be with thee. So God answered vnto Moses when he detracted his message. So was it also said of Iosua, I wil be with him. After that maner was Ieremy answered, when he cryed that he was a childe, and could not wel speake. I wil be with thee (saith the Lorde) thou shalt accomplish al these thinges to whatsoeuer I wil send thee. Gideon therefore is instructed of the way or maner of the victorye, namelye, that God woulde haue the handling and charge of it: and that chiefly by these woordes: Thou shalt destroy the Madianites as it were one man. For wt God it is as easy to ouerthrowe an infinite number, as one man. And the same thing as touching the marueylous murther of the Madianites, then vndoubtedly tooke effect, when they smote one an other with their own swordes, and by the impulsion of God they wounded one the other.
