1And the Lord delivered the Canaanites. The holy Scripture observeth his old order, to say that they which are overcome in battle are delivered into their enemies hands by God, and speaketh thus to admonish us, that victory is not the work of our own strength, but of the goodness and counsel of God. Wherefore soldiers and emperors when they have the upper hand in battles, they must bridle them selves from boasting and glorying, which Jeremiah also faithfully giveth counsel to do. For he saith, let not him that is mighty glory in his own strength. Nebuchadnezzar king of the Babylonians foolishly despising this, was so vexed & tossed with madness, that he was almost changed into a dumb beast. Wherefore the administration of the kingdom was taken away from him, & he lived in great misery of long time, who out of doubt had not fallen into so great misfortune, if (as it was mete) he had confessed that what soever he had gotten was given him by the providence and counsel of God. But as Daniel mentioneth, he being puffed up with the nobleness and dignity of his acts, most presumptuously and proudly bragged of them: for he said, that in the strength and might of his own arm, he had established the kingdom of Babylon.
