Again, when the Children of Israel were brought up out of Egypt, it was a very wonderful deliverance; for God did then cause many great signs, and wonders, and miraculous demonstrations of his power and providence to be seen: Read Psal. 78.11, 12. He showed them wonders, marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the Land of Egypt, and in the field of Zoan; what wonders, what marvellous things? verse 12, 14, 19. He divided the Sea, and caused them to pass through, and he made the waters to stand as an heap, in the day time he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light fire, he clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the great depths: And so the Psalmist goeth on to show what wonders the Lord did for the Children of Israel, when he brought them out of Egypt. And I am persuaded that God, whose ways are everlasting, when the time cometh that all Israel shall be saved, will do as great and glorious (yea greater) wonders (†)amongst them as ever were done in the days of old, in the years of ancient Generations; Therefore it is said, Isa. 11. last, It shall be to Israel like as it was in the day that he came up out of the Land of Egypt, i. e. ⟨p. 79⟩in respect of miraculous providences, in drying up great waters before them, &c. Consider Hos. 2.15. & Mic. 7.15. Moreover, when the Children of Israel were delivered out of Egypt, God did miraculously fight from heaven for them against their adversaries, God did wonderfully fight from heaven against Pharaoh, and God did wonderfully fight from heaven against the Amorites; so it will be again, when the day cometh that all Israel shall be saved. See some Scriptures for it, for I would be loth to speak such things as these without book. See then Isa. 31.4. The Lord of hosts shall come down to fight for Mount Zion: And verse 18. then shall the Assyrian fall by the sword, not of a mighty man, and the sword not of a mean man shall devour him: The Assyrian was the most formidable enemy which the Jews had in the Prophet Isaiah's time, and therefore that name may be made use of to signify him that shall be the Assyrian of the world at the Jews conversion:
