Hebrews11:24
24 By faith Moses when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaohs daughter,
Moses himself was as eminent a Believer as his Parents, and a mighty Instance of Divine Faith. He who was so named and saved by the Enemies of the Church, and adopted as a Son to a notorious one of them, yet being great in Age and Stature full forty, Exod. 3.11. Acts 7.23. past the folly of Childhood and rashness of Youth, upon manly Deliberation and a rational Exercise of Faith, notwithstanding he was by Birth a poor Israelite, and saved from perishing by a Princess, the Daughter of a Potent King: nourished through her Indulgence by his own Mother, adopted as her own Son, educated by her in all the Wisdom of the Egyptians, preferred, owned, and honoured as her Son; and might have been in a fair way to have succeeded to the Kingdom; yet not out of any Disingenuity, or base Ingratitude to his eminent Preserver, but out of a Divine Faith he layeth down all his Titles and Honours, and renounceth his Relation, for the Enjoyment of a better Title with, and a greater Good in God; and this he manifested by Word and Deed in his after Transactions, v. 25.
