II. A Flood, or many Waters meeting together, roar, and make a great Noise: So the Wicked, combining together against the Interest of Christ, roar (as it were) in belching out cruel Threatenings against the Saints. Thus Pharaoh and the Egyptians made a great Noise, as if they would in a moment have swallowed up poor Israel. The Enemy said, I will pursue, 1I will overtake, I will divide the Spoil: My Lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my Sword, my Hand shall destroy them.
