And than utterly break, hate, reject, and cast away into everlasting fire & utter destruction this rod and scourge, like a most merciful Father, favouring his children and hating the rod. Like as he saith by his prophet: Woo unto Assur the rod of my fury, and the staff of my indignation, and after promiseth to break the staff and cast away the rod. Psal. 10. Suffering in the mean season, yet these instruments of his wrath prepared unto destruction, with great patience, for this end that he may utter the riches of his glory, towards the vessels of glory, which he hath prepared unto glory.

Thus was Pharaoh the manifest scourge ⟨image 115⟩and rod of God, to correct, to chastise, & to exercise the Israelites, and to spreads the power of God through all the world. Therefore was Moses sent unto him, with the rod of God his mighty mercy, to break in sunder this rod of chastisement. And the Lord said unto Moses, I have appointed thee to be the God of Pharaoh, and Aaron thy brother shall be thy Prophet, thou shalt speak unto him all that I command thee. And he shall speak unto Pharaoh, to let go the children of Israel forth of his land. But I will harden his heart, sayeth the Lord, and I will, multiply my signs and wonders in Egypt, and he shall not hear you. And I will bring mine Army and people •oorth of the Land of Egypt, by most great judgements, and the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord. Exod 12.
