Whose foundation.

:474p. 148

This word foundation taken in a proper sense, refers to a material building. And the foundation of any building is the stability and strength of it; by foundation, in a metaphorical sense,¹ we are to understand all those things by which the state of persons or things is upheld; and here whatsoever wicked men support & bear up themselves by, as a building is borne up by the foundation, is to be understood as their foundation. So their power, their riches, their counsel, their wisdom, their friends and confederates; whatsoever, I say, is the support of their worldly State, that's their foundation. And thus it is here said, their foundation was overflown With a flood.
