Now some have attributed this to Moses, as a sin, accounting ⟨p. 160⟩it his impatience and rashness to break the Tables. They acknowledge it to be a good zeal for the main; only they think here was some strange fire, as well as the fire of the Sanctuary. But although this excandescency of Moses was sudden, yet I see not, why it should be attributed as rashness in him to break the Tables; for he had brought those Tables as a sign of their Covenant stricken with God: but now, they having broken it by their Idolatry, it was very just to have the Tables broken in the eyes of the people, that so they might see how God was alienated from them: so that we think, he did it not with any sinful perturbation of mind, but an holy zeal: God hereby also ordering, that they should understand, God would enter into a new Covenant with them; which made Austin cry out, O ira prophetica, & animus non perturbatus, sed illuminatus! O anger prophetical, and a mind not disturbed, but enlightened.
