LET us take a short view of the foregoing Verses; and that this may be the more useful and profitable •o us, we may take notice, That as in the former Chapter ther• is described Moses's preservation to his future employment; so in this Chapter there is described his preparation, •nd his sitting for that employment, i. e. by a Vision, or ra•her a suitable Apparition, in which God discovered unto Moses his care of the people, of whom Moses was to be a speedy deliverer. You have here in the word• read unto you, the preparation afforded to Moses for the great work, of being called to be Israels deliverer, and in this preparation you may take notice of these three principal parts.
1. An Apparition that is here presented to the view of Moses, A burning, though not a consumed Bush. 2. Moses care to observe it, I will turn aside and see this great sight, why the Bush is not burned. And then, 3. Gods Monitory Precept, or Admonition, which he afforded unto Moses, when he was drawing near to see this wonder, in which we have principally considerable two parts.
1. This Precept propounded, 1. Negatively, That be should not draw near. 2. Affirmatively, That he should put off his shoes from off his feet. 2. You have considerable the Reason or Argument, whereby God doth back this Precept or Admonition, i. e. Because that place whereon he stood was holy ground, The time would fail me if I should go over all these parts, we shall only touch on the two former, the Apparition which Moses saw, and Moses's desire to observe it, of which I shall only speak transitorily, and insist on the latter more fully which I chiefly intend.
