I. JOseph being dead and the Children of Israel being multiplyed exceedingly there arose a new King who not regarding the eminent Service Joseph had done to that Crown fearing their Strength contrives several ways to keep 'em under endeavouring first to wear 'em out with hard Labour and rigorous Bondage which not succeeding he commands the Midwives to strangle all the Male Children in the Birth but they not obeying this barbarous Edict he next commands all his People to throw every Male Child they met with into the River CHAP. II. During this Distress Moses was born and concealed by his Parents but when they could hide him no longer they put him in an Ark of Bull-rushes and laid him among the Flags by the River side and set his Sister to watch the event Pharaoh's Daughter coming that way and spying the Ark sent for it and found a Child therein Then she sent the Childs Sister to fetch an Hebrew Nurse who called the Child's Mother so she nurst it and when he was grown up brought him to Pharaoh's Daughter who adopted him for her Son called his Name Moses and trained him up in all the Wisdom and Learning of the Egyptians whereby he was fitted by God's singular Providence for those great Services he was afterwards employed in In this capacity he continued in Pharaoh's Court till he was forty years old but then he forsook the Court and joyned himself to his afflicted Brethren resolving to afford 'em what help he could So going among 'em one day and seeing an Egyptian cruelly beating one of his Brethren he slew the Egyptian which being known to Pharaoh he was fain to fly into the Land of Midian where he dwelt with a Priest of that Land and married one of his Daughters by whom he had a Son Here he continued forty years till that King of Egypt was dead But still the Israelites were exceedingly opprest which made 'em cry to God and he took notice of it CHAP. III. As Moses kept his Father-in-law's Flock by Horeb he had a Vision of a Bush Burning yet not consum'd out of which God calls to him and tells him he heard the Cry of the Israelites and was come down to deliver them and would send him to bring 'em forth from which employment Moses excuses himself but God encourages him Moses asks his Name God bids him say to the Israelites I AM THAT I AM hath sent me to you and bids him and the Elders of Israel go to Pharaoh to ask his leave to go into the Wilderness to offer Sacrifice and Promises tho Pharaoh did refuse to bring 'em out by Power and with much Wealth CHAP. IV. Moses further excuses himself and God encourages him again by two Miracles but still he is loath to venture and frames new excuses till God was angry with him and to encourage him joyns his Brother Aaron in Commission with him to be his Spokesman to Pharaoh and the People Hereupon Moses with his Family return into Egypt and in an Inn by the way the Lord had like to have slain him for not circumcising his Child In the Wilderness he meets with his Brother Aaron and so they went and called together the Elders of the People and rehears'd these things to them who rejoyc'd at it CHAP. V. Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh to demand leave for the People to go to keep a Feast in the Wilderness to the Lord. Pharaoh proudly demands Who is the Lord that I should obey his voice to let Israel go and chides 'em for their message and encreases the Peoples task which when they complain of they are chidden and get no redress whereupon they cry out upon Moses and Aaron and Moses complains to God CHAP. VI. Then God encourages him and renews his Promise by his Name Jehovah assuring him that he 'l bring the People out of Egypt and bring 'em into Canaan And this Moses relates to 'em but they minded it not by reason of their oppression CHAP. VII Then God sent Moses and Aaron again unto Pharaoh who requires a Sign whereby he might know that God sent ' em Aaron throws down his Stick before Pharaoh and it became a Serpent The Magicians did also in like manner So Pharaoh's Heart was hardned that he would not let 'em go Then God sends Moses and Aaron again and in case Pharaoh would not yet be perswaded that they should smite the Waters with the Staff and turn 'em to Blood which accordingly they did and the Magicians did the like So that Pharaoh was hardned still CHAP.
