Vers. 11. Then he remembered the old time of Moses and his people, saying, Where is he that brought them up out of the sea, with the shepherd of his sheep? Where is he that put his holy* Spirit within him?
Vers. 11. Then hee remembred the old time of Moses and his people, saying, Where is hee that brought them vp out of the sea, with the shepheard of his sheepe? Where is he that put his holy* Spirit within him?

1This is the end of the chastisement; namely, that the people might be awakened out of their drowsiness, and be brought to think upon the things they had forgotten before; because prosperity so besots us, that the remembrance of God is utterly buried. These rods therefore serve to recall those thoughts which were abolished in us; to wit, where is that God which in times past showed so many mercies to our fathers? For I refer these things to the time past, and therefore have translated, from the days of old: for the word age agrees not in this place, seeing the Prophet mentions that time wherein Moses governed the people of God. The true sense therefore is, that the Jews being miserably oppressed, called to mind the ancient times; in which the Lord manifested his power for the preservation of his people.
