But those words, which be added; And might do great things for you: some would by Apostrophe or conversion of speech, refer them to the Jews, which me think is not probable. For David talked not of these things with the people, but secretly with God. Wherefore I had rather thus to understand them of God himself, and to ascribe these marvellous things to one God in three persons. But God came to deliver his people, when he sent Moses & Aaron unto them: for when he appointed Moses to that message, he added withal; And I will be with thee. God doubtless is in every place at all times; 1but then he is said to come, 2when he doth some great or new thing. And so he was said to be among the Jews, when he smote the Egyptians and their first borne. Again, when Pharaoh followed the Jews going forth of Egypt, and that they began to murmur, thinking that they should even then have perished, Moses on this wise recomforted them; God shall fight for you, and ye shall be still: 3yea the Egyptians themselves also did perceive the same. For they said; Let us fly away, 4for God himself doth fight for them. Yea and afterward, when the people had worshipped the golden calf, and that God was angry, he would not go forth with them, yet Moses entreated him to go on with them. 5Wherefore to deliver the people, there came both the Father, and the Son, & the holy Ghost. And although those works were common unto the three persons, yet are they severally and particularly ascribed to the Sonne. And therefore Paul saith unto the Corinthians, 6that that rock, from whence the water did flow, was Christ; And let us not tempt Christ (saith he) as some tempted him in the desert. By which words of Paul, we manifestly gather; that the Jews murmured against Christ. Which being so, the Arians may be very well confuted by that place. 7For if it were Christ, as doubtless it was, (which came to redeem the people) how can David say; There is no other God as thou art, if the Son be either a creature, or inferior to the father? For although this argument bind not the Jews, who receive not Paul; yet doth it bind the Arians, which cannot refuse Paul.
