He delivered them from Pharaoh, and with an outstretched arm led them through the red sea. Who would think so great •cies would e•er be forgotten? or that such a people, so well instructed in the knowledge of God, and so often put in mind of their duty, should either most part, or all of them turn from GOD?

So easily were the wisest of them and Aaron, and the whole multitude deceived.
