Furthermore to the intent that the people may be the more moved, Moses confirming here the matter that we heard even now, saith thus: Bethink you therefore: for it is not spoken to your children which have neither seen nor heard of it, but to you your selves which are witnesses of the great miracles, mightful works, and tokens which God showed in bringing you §20out of the land of Egypt, and specially in your passing of the read sea, where he wrought with a wonderful power. For what a thing was it that the sea shrank aside to make you way to pass through it? And that afterward it swallowed up all your enemies, that followed you with so great puissance, that you thought your selves utterly undone? You have seen those things with your eyes saith he. What a thing were it then, if ye should forget such wonderful works of God, and suffer them to vanish away?§30 Might it be imputed to any ignorance? No, but to unthankfulness, & it were malicious spitefulness for you to tread the things so under foot, which God hath showed unto you.
