It is plain here, and also in the stories of Israels troubles in Egypt: their troubles were great before, ubut they were heightened before God delivered them. Insomuch, as they looked upon the beginnings of their deliverance as bad as the worst of their sufferings; and were rather content to be in their former slavery, then to endure the pains of a deliverance. But yet though they were higher, they were not at the height, till they came to the Red Sea, when a sea before them not to be passed, an enraged enemy behind them, not to be resisted & mountains on each side them that they could not tell what to do, whither to betake themselves, which was the rise of their deliverance. aGod useth to take a rise of deliverance from the lowest step of his peoples sufferings.
It is plaine here, and also in the stories of Israels troubles in Egypt: their troubles were great before, ubut they were heightned before God delivered them. Insomuch, as they looked upon the beginnings of their deliverance as bad as the worst of their sufferings; and were rather content to be in their former slavery, then to indure the paines of a deliverance. But yet though they were higher, they were not at the height, till they came to the Red Sea, when a sea before them not to be passed, an inraged enemy behinde them, not to be resisted & mountaines on each side them that they could not tell what to doe, whither to betake themselves, which was the rise of their deliverance. aGod useth to take a rise of deliverance from the lowest step of his peoples sufferings.
