Safe towards Canaan from the shoar advance [ 215 ]

To noble and ignoble is more sweet

Swallows him with his Host, but them lets pass

Darkness must overshadow all his bounds,

Must be compelld by Signes and Judgements dire; [ 175 ]

Must eat, and on the ground leave nothing green:

Botches and blaines must all his flesh imboss, [ 180 ]

Through the wilde Desert, not the readiehttps://read.99csw.comst way,

Though present in his Angel, who shall goe

To guide them in thir journey, and remove

Pursuing whom he late dismissd, the Sea [ 195 ]

Least entring on the Canaanite allarmd

Awd by the rod of Moses so to stand

Inglorious life with servitude; for life [ 220 ]

As on drie land between two christal walls,

All night he will pursue, but his approach

His九-九-藏-書 Cattel must of Rot and Murren die,

The River-dragon tamd at length submits

Divided, till his rescud gain thir shoar:

Behinde them, while th obdurat King pursues: [ 205 ]

And craze thir Chariot wheels: when by command [ 210 ]

To let his sojourners depart, and oft

God looking forth will trouble all his Host

Moses once more his potent Rod extends

To know thir God, or meｒｅaｄ•９9csw.cｏmssage to regard,

Last with one midnight stroke all the first-born

On thir imbattelld ranks the Waves return,

By day a Cloud, by night a Pillar of Fire,

Then through the Firey Pillar and the Cloud

Frogs, Lice and Flies must all his Palace fill

And overwhelm thir Warr: the Race elect

Return them back to Egypt, choosing rather

To blood unshed the Rivers must be turnd,

But firｈttｐs://rｅａd.９9csｗ.ｃｏmst the lawless Tyrant, who denies

Before them in a Cloud, and Pillar of Fire,

Darkness defends between till morning Watch;

And all his people; Thunder mixt with Haile,

More hardnd after thaw, till in his rage

Such wondrous power God to his Saint will lend, [ 200 ]

Over the Sea; the Sea his Rod obeys;

Palpable darkness, and blot out three dayes;

With loathd intrusion, and fill a九_九_藏_書ll the land;

Of Egypt must lie dead. Thus with ten wounds [ 190 ]

Humbles his stubborn heart, but still as Ice

A darksom Cloud of Locusts swarming down [ 185 ]

What it devours not, Herb, or Fruit, or Graine,

And wheel on th Earth, devouring where it rouls;

Haile mixt with fire must rend th Egyptian Skie

Untraind in Armes, where rashness leads not on.

Warr terrifie them inexpert, and feare
