But we are taught by the holy Scriptures, that when we either see or hear of any that are conquerors, or else are slain in battles, we must by and by ascribe unto God all that which is, or hath ben done, who (after the most accustomed phrase of the holy Scriptures) is said to deliver them which are overcome into the hands of their enemies.1
But we are taught by the holy Scriptures, that when we either see or heare of any that are conquerours, or els are slayne in battailes, we must by and by ascribe vnto God al that whiche is, or hath ben done, who (after the most accustomed phrase of the holy Scriptures) is sayd to deliuer them whiche are ouercome into the handes of their enemies.1
- 1God without any injury delivereth some in to the hands of their enemies. The Canaanites were defiled with most detestable wicked deeds.God without any iniury deliuereth some in to the hādes of their enemies. The Chananites were defiled with moste detestable wicked dedes.
When it is said that any are delivered of God into the hands of their enemies we must think that that is done without any injury. And as touching this place we know that those nations of the Canaanites were full of most heinous wickedness, and for that cause, god punished them most justly. Which cause is confirmed by that which we read in the book of Genesis, where God bringeth a reason, why he held the posterity of Abraham so long time in Egypt, ⟨p. 11⟩namely because the sins of the Canaanites were not yet full.1 And this is not to be forgotten, that God useth according to his justice to deliver sinners to be punished two manner of ways, or to two sorts of enemies. For sometimes he doth this in giving them over to be vexed with lusts and filthy affections as to certain furies of hell.
