The infernal Tyrant deals with men herein, as the Egyptian Pharaoh dealt with the Israelites. Moses hath a Commission and command from God, to take with him the children of Israel, and to go three days journey in the Wilderness, to celebrate a Feast to the Lord. Pharaoh is very loth to loose the profit, which by the servitude of Israel did arise to him; he will not suffer them. But when renewed plagues prove that there is no remedy, and a perpetual vicissitude of judgements enforce it; observe how he would compound it.

1. Exod. 8. First, Go ye, sacrifice to your God in 1this land. Nay saith Moses: It is not meet so to do; for we shall sacrifice the abominations of the Egyptians to the Lord our God. Lo, shall we sacrifice the abominations of the Egyptians before their eyes, and will they not stone us? That were a shame, and insufferable offence to them, to immolate beasts among them that worship beasts.
