Exod. 20.2. Who brought thee out of the House of Bondage.

:1803p. 263

WE may consider these Words, Who brought thee out of the House of Bondage, either 1. Literally, or 2. Spiritually and mystically. 1. In the Letter, I brought thee out of the House of Bondage; that is, I delivered you out of the Misery and Servitude you sustained in Egypt when you were in the Iron Furnace. 2. Spiritually and Mystically, I brought thee out of the House of Bondage. So it is a Type of our Deliverance by Christ from Sin and Hell.

:1804p. 263¶1

1. Literally, in the Letter, I brought thee out of the House of Bondage; viz. Out of great Misery and Slavery in the Iron Furnace. The thing I note hence is, though God bring his People sometimes into trouble, yet he will bring them out again. Israel was in the House of Bondage, but at last I brought you out of Bondage. First, [Greek or Hebrew], That God doth deliver out of Trouble. Secondly, In what manner. Thirdly, When are the Seasons. Fourthly, Why God delivers. Fifthly, How the deliverances of the Godly and Wicked out of Trouble differ?
