The assumption or second part of this reason, is confirmed by an argument taken from Gods effects, when he delivered his people out of Egypt, as it were, from the servitude of a most tyrannous master. This delivery was not appropriate only to the Israelites, but in some sort to the Church of God in all ages: in that it was a type of a more surpassing delivery, from that fearful kingdom of darkness, 1. Cor. 10.1, 2. J would not have you ignorant, brethren, that all our Fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the red Sea, and were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud, and in the Sea, Colos. 1.13.
