EXODUS 15. 11. Who is like unto thee, O Lord, amongst the Gods! who is like unto thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders!
EXODUS 15. 11. Who is like unto thee, O Lord, amongst the Gods! who is like unto thee, glorious in holinesse, fearfull in praises, doing wonders!
This Scripture is this day fulfilled in our Ears, and before our eyes; that which God hath already begun to do for this Kingdom and the neighbour Churches, doth show unto us, that there is none like unto the Lord, Who is glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders.
THis Scripture is this day fulfilled in our Eares, and before our eyes; that which God hath already begun to doe for this Kingdome and the neighbour Churches, doth shew unto us, that there is none like unto the Lord, Who is glorious in holinesse, fearfull in praises, doing wonders.
The words though they be in the middle of the song, yet they are a kind of an Epiphonema, which usually is at the end; but the spirit of Moses being raised in admiring at, and blessing God for the great things he had done for his people, he containeth not himself till he comes to the end, but breaks forth in the very middle with this applause of the glory of God, Who is like unto thee, O Lord amongst the Gods, who is like unto thee, glorious ⟨p. 2⟩in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders! You see then the words are a part of Moses his song, occasioned upon the goodness of God in delivering of his people from Egypt, and carrying of them through the Red-sea. And this song, is the most ancient song that ever was in the world; it is the first in Scripture, and we know of no Author before Moses; those that were skilful in the way of Poetry were many hundred years after Moses. It is a spiritual and most excellent song; the stile of it is full of Elegance, the matter of exceeding variety; it is Eucharistical, Triumphant, Prophetical, and 'tis pity we have not such an excellent song as this is, turned into Metre, to be sung in our Congregations. And it is a most delightful song, and therefore you shall observe when God promised a great mercy to his people in which they should exceedingly rejoice, he hath reference to this song,
