Who hath not heard of the war which Pharaoh had against the Israelites, the battle was strange, and the victory sudden. The people of god was beset with dangers on every side, the 1wilderness had shut them in. Before their faces they saw the raging sea, that they could not scape it, behind their backs, they did beholds Pharaoh with his army march after them: if they went forward they must needs be drowned: if they retired, they must needs be slain. Their enemies were mighty, and they were weak. Suddenly God divided the waters, & made the sea dry land, so that the children of Israel went through the middest of the sea upon dry ground safely as through a meadow, Pharaoh followed after with his sword and spear to work his fury. Then the sea returned to his course, and drowned the chariots, & horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh, there remained not one of them alive. Their carcasses lay afloat upon the water, and were cast in heaps upon the shore. Such shall be the end of those that hate the Lord. So shall he make his name triumph over all the world.

Then the sea returned to his course, and drowned the chariots, & horsemen, and al the host of Pharao, there remained not one of them aliue. Their carkases lay afloat vpon the water, and were cast in heapes vppon the shoare. Such shal bee the ende of those that hate the Lorde. So shal he make his name triumph ouer al the world.
