But it was otherwise with Moses: When any private ⟨p. 98⟩wrong was offered unto him by the Israelites, he was meek as a lamb, and would with wisdom speak mildly unto them to pacify them, and pray earnestly unto God to pardon them: but when they fell to Idolatry, and worshipped the golden calf,1 (a matter which nearly concerned the glory of God) his wrath waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and brake them in pieces, and burnt the calf in the fire, and ground it to powder, and made them drink of it, being strewed upon the water; and after caused a great number of the principal doers in this wickedness to be slain by the sword. This also is the commendation of the Church of Ephesus, that they had much patience, and yet could not forbear those which were evil, 2but examined them which said they were Apostles, and found them liars.
