Concerning particular salvations, such as are understood (1 Sam. 14:39), “as the Lord liveth that saveth Israel,” that is, from their temporary enemies, and (2 Sam. 22:3), “Thou art my Saviour, thou savest me from violence”; and (2 Kings 13:5), “God gave the Israelites a Saviour, and so they were delivered from the hand of the Assyrians,” and the like, I need say nothing; there being neither difficulty nor interest to corrupt the interpretation of texts of that kind.
