They were God's by adopting them into a more pe∣culiar favour then any other nation in the world,* 1.1 guard∣ing them with eminent Miracles of his providence; they were Moses his people, by being under God the Dispenser of those acts of providence, and therefore Exodus 32.7. God called them his people; Get thee down, for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the Land of E∣gypt, have corrupted themselves; and Moses repeating, in a long Discourse, the mercyes of Gods providence towards them, rehearseth the same words, Deut. 9.12. so that they were the people of God, by his especial grace; and they were Moses his people, by his being, under God, their Governour; the same act is attribu∣ted to the first and supreme Cause, in a most high and eminent way; to the second, as an Instrument, coope∣rating with it. In the 20 of Genesis, it is said, that God brought them out of the Land of Egypt; in this place it is say'd, that Moses brought them; both in their several wayes, God, as the first, Moses as the second Cause: but let us consider, perhaps he gives, a reason for what he s••ith; he affirme's that Moses govern's the people, not in his own name, with hoc dicit Moyses: but in God's, with hoc dicit Dominus.
