The Church of God hath ever been under persecution, and afflictions, as may appear by the stories of all ages: but GOD hath not failed to comfort them, and work their deliverance. Israel was in great bondage under Pharaoh. They were put to great slavery ⟨p. 262⟩to •hoppe straw, and to bake brick, &c. Their male children were slain before their faces. This was done unto them, that so they might be rooted out, and their name quite put out from the •arth. It was high time for the Lord to put to his hand. They called upon him in their troubles and he heard them. Then sent he Moses and Aaron, and delivered them: he opened the read sea, and gave them passage.
