Deuteronomy 7

Deuteronomy 7:7

MOre in number] As in worldly Kingdomes, dominion over a great and powerfull nation, is more esteemed than the dominion over a little and feeble one, seeing greater glory, profit and service is to be expected from it. And according to this quality, may be valued and rated all other qualities, which amongst men may incite others to love or desire any thing.

Deuteronomy 7:10

To their face] As an enemy withstanding him face to face, or openly, as they do, who by reason of their great powers do work their revenges openly, not privately, and by wiles. Or thus; shaming them by the reproach of their impiety.

Deuteronomy 7:16

A snare] A meanes, and occasion of ruine, and perdition.

Deuteronomy 7:22

By little, and little] He will not employ his omnipotency therein, to work against them in an instant, without meanes; but he will do according to the quality of humane meanes, which he will make use of herein, which is to worke by succession of time, and by the order and pursuite of the issues.

Deuteronomy 7:25

Snared therein] Subtilly, and unawares brought into some idolatry, and so brought within the compasse of punishment.

Deuteronomy 7:26

Lest thou be] Lest thou be irremissibly condemned to utter destruction, as the idols and all their substance, are to be rooted out.
