Exod. 23. 28. God threateneth to send the Hornet upon the Canaanites, before the children of Israel: some stinging judgements, either on their consciences, or bodies, or both. Something of the same kind is doubtless here held out: he sent plagues and diseases among them to weaken and consume them, before his peoples entrance. His presence was with Israel, and the pestilence consuming the Canaanites before their entrance is said to be [Greek or Hebrew] at his faces, or appearances, before him, before the entrance of the presence of his holiness. And the following Judgements that quite devoured them, were the coals going out at his feet, which he sent abroad, when he entered their land, with his own inheritance, into theirs, to cast out those malae fidei possessores.

1. Sicknesses, diseases and all sorts of judgements are wholly at Gods disposal. Affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground, yet man is borne to trouble, as the sons of the burning coal lift up in flying, Job. 5. 6, 7.
