SECTION XII.

Of Moses words, Glory over me. Exod. 8. 9.

THE Plagues of Egypt began answerable to their sins, the waters wherein the chil∣drens blood had been shed, and they poor souls sprawled for life, are now turned into blood, and sprawle with Frogs.

The former Plague of blood, was not so smart as the other of Frogs, for by digging they found fresh water, and so had that remedy against that Plague. But they had none against the Frogs, for they came into every place, and seised upon all the victuals that lay in their way, and devoured them; nay they spared not to raven upon men themselves: Therefore the Psalmist saith, Frogs destroyed them.

Yet for all this doth Pharaoh make but a mock at Jehovah in all this his doing: and scornfully and in derision, bids Moses and Aaron try what Jehovah could do for the remo∣ving of them. To whom Moses answers, Glory over me, mock me hardly with my Jeho∣vah, yet appoint when I shall pray, and I will pray, that thou mayest know that there is none like my Jehovah. And Pharaoh appoints him the next day for his prayer, which he would never have put off so long, had he in earnest thought that Jehovah could have re∣moved them upon Moses prayer.
