And in manifesting of it, God observeth his old accustomed manner. Long before that by Rahab of Jericho he showed unto Joshua, that the hearts of the enemies were exceedingly smitten with fear, & now even by the Midianites themselves he teacheth Gideon how fearful they were. Neither among other testimonies (as the Rhetoricians say) are there any of more strength,1 then the testimonies of the enemies. Wherefore when Gideon heard even of his enemies how they were affected, he doubted not of the success of the battle. Here is set forth a notable example of obedience. For Gideon was deadly hated of the Midianites, because he had now collected an host against them, and yet being commanded to go to their tents he obeyed. And if he had ben afraid, there was no other companion granted him, then Purah his lad. Wherefore seeing he durst take upon him so great a thing, it is to be thought that he was illustrate with no small faith. Neither can he justly be reproved of vanity, as though he took hold of dreams, forasmuch as he obeyed the word of God.
And in manifestyng of it, God obserueth his olde accustomed manner. Longe before that by Rahab of Iericho he shewed vnto Iosuah, that the hearts of the enemyes were excedingly smitten with feare, & now euē by the Madianites thēselues he teacheth Gideon how fearefull they were. Neyther among other testimonyes (as the Rhetoricians say) are there any of more strength,1 then the testimonyes of the enemyes. Wherfore when Gideon heard euen of his enemyes how they wer affected, he doubted not of the successe of the battayle. Here is set forth a notable example of obedience. For Gideon was deadly hated of the Madianites, bycause he had now collected an host agaynst them, and yet beyng commaunded to go to their tentes he obeyed. And if he had ben afrayde, there was no other companion graunted him, then Purah his lad. Wherfore seyng he durst take vpon hym so great a thing, it is to be thought that he was illustrate with no small fayth. Neither can he iustly be reproued of vanity, as though he tooke hold of dreames, for asmuch as he obeyed the worde of God.
