The fiftith day from their departure out of Egipt he gaue a law in the sight and hearing of thē all making himselfe in a sort visible to all their eyes in the hieght of the mountaine Sinay in the shew of a mighty fyar and a darke cloud with the sound of trumpets and great thunder the earth it selfe trembling the mountaine somewhat mouing and leaping 4. For the space of forty yeares he exhibited his presence to them continually in the day tyme by defending their campes or tents from the heat of the sunne in the forme of a great cloudy pillar by night by lightning their tents with the said pillar in forme of fyre when the Camps were to be remoued from place to place this pillar did lift it selfe high in the ayre going before them with a slow pace that they might know what way they were to goe and staying when where they were to rest in so much that all the profection or going and staying of their camps depended only vpon the prouidence of the highest power 5. Moyses by the commandement of God did build in the first yeare of his egresse out of Egipt a Tabernacle and in the second yeare the first moneth and first day therof erected it in the middest of the cāpe the which was no sooner set vp but that instātly the foresaid pillar cōtinually stood ouer the tabernacle as it were couering it excepting the tabernacle were to remoue and then the pillar aduancing it selfe on high went afore as is sayd to shew whither they were to goe and when to stay When Moyses entred into the tabernacle to pray vnto God then God in the sight of all the people descended downe vpon the Tabernacle vnder that cloud the prayer being ended the cloud ascended vp againe into his accustomed place 6.
