1 a There were two specail causes, why the Israelites shulde not joyne amitie with the Egyptians: first because the Lord ahd commanded them neuer to returne thether, {Deu. 17,16} & {Deu 28,68}, lest they shulde forget the benefite of their redemption: & secondly, lest they shulde be corrupted with the supersticion & idolatrie of the Egyptians, and forsake God, {Jer. 2,18}
1 b Meaning, that thei forsake the Lord, that put their trust in worldelie things: for thei can not trust in bothe.
4 e He sheweth the Jewes, that if thei wolde put their trust in him, he is so able, that none can resist his power: and so careful ouer them, as bird ouer her yong, which euer flieth about them for their defence: which similitude the Scripture vseth in diuerse places, as {Deut. 32, 11}, {Matt. 23,37}.
6 f He toucheth their conscience that thei might earnestly fele their grieuous sinnes and so truely repent, for as muche as now thei are almost drowned and past recouerie.
9 i This was accomplished sone after when Saneheribs armie was discomfited, and he fled to his castel in Ninveh for succour.
