¶ The .xlvi. Chapter.
¶ The prayse of Iosue, Caleb, and Samuel.
A Manly ∧ str&obar;ge &ibar; battayll note was
Iesus þe; sonne of Naue, which
in steade of Moses the prophet
was geuen to be captayne of þe;
people, which accordynge vnto
his name was a great sauioure vnto the
electe of God, to punysh þe; enemies that rose
vp agaynst Israel, þt; Israel myght optayne
theyr inheritaunce. O how greate, noble, ∧
excellent was he, when he lyft vp his hand,
and drew out his swerde agaynst þe; cyties?
Who stode so manly before hym? For the
Lord him selfe brought in þe; enemies. noteStode
not the Sunne styll at his commaundement,
and one daye was as l&obar;ge as two? He
called vpon the Hyest and most myghtye
when þe; enemyes preassed vpon hym on euery
syde, and the Lorde herde hym with the
hayle stones. They smote the Heythenesh
people myghtely, ∧ in fallynge downe they
slew all þe; aduersaries, so that the Heathen
knewe his hoost, and all his defence, that þe;
Lord hym selfe fought agaynst them, for he
folowed vpon þe; myghtye men of them.
B noteIn the tyme of Moses also, he ∧ Caleb
the sonne of Iephune, dyd a good worcke,
which stode agaynst þe; enemyes, with helde
the people from synne, ∧ stylled the wycked
murmuryng. noteAnd of syxe hundreth thousande
people of fote, they two were preserued,
to brynge them into þe; heritage, namely,
a lande that floweth &wt; mylcke ∧ hony.
noteThe Lorde gaue str&ebar;gth also vnto Caleb,
which remayned with him vnto his age: so
that he wente vp into þe; hye places of þe; l&abar;de
and his sede conquered the same for an herytage:
that all the chyldren of Israel myght
se, how good a thinge it is, to be obedi&ebar;t vnto
the Lorde. And the iudges or rulers (euery
one after his name) whose hert w&ebar;te not
a whorynge, ner departed from þe; Lord, and
that forsoke not the Lorde vnfaythfully,
whose remembraunce hath a good reporte:
Yee their bones florish oute of their place,
and their names shall neuer be chaunged,
(but honoure remayneth styll with the chyldren
of those holy men.)
C Samuel þe; prophet beloued of the Lorde,
note ordeyned a kyng, ∧ anoynted the prynces
ouer the people. In the lawe of the Lord ruled
he, and iudged þe; congregacyon, and the
Lord had respecte vnto Iacob. The prophet
was founde dilig&ebar;t in his faythfulnes:
yee in his faythfulnes was the faythfulnes
of the visyon knowne. noteHe called vp&obar; the
Lord þe; allmyghtye, when þe; enemyes preased
vp&obar; him on euery syde, what tyme as he
offred þe; suckynge lambes. And þe; Lord th&obar;dred
fr&obar; heauen ∧ made his voyce to be herde
&wt; a greate noyse. He discomfyted þe; prynces
of Tyre, and all þe; rulers of the Philistines.
noteBefore his last ende he made protestacyon
in þe; syght of the Lord, ∧ his anoynted,
that he toke nether substa&ubar;ce ner good
of eny man, no not so moch as a shoo, ∧ no
man myght accuse him. After this he tolde,
that his ende was at hande, ∧ shewed þe; kynge
also his ende ∧ death, and from the earth
lyft he vp hys voyce in the prophecye, that
the vngodly people shulde peryshe.
