Hebrews11:27
27 By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: For he endured as seeing him who is invisible.
By the same excellent Faith, after his demand from Pharaoh of Liberty for Israel to leave Egypt, and had brought on him and his People the Ten Plagues God threatned them with, then he brake the Bands of Captivity, and took up Israel, and le[illegible: 1 letter]t Egypt subdued, wasted by Plagues, and a place to be abhorred, triumphing over it, he forsakes it as a Conqueror, and carrieth away the Spoils of it. The Wrath and Rage of Pharaoh at him and his Work for Israel, did not apale him; he was not afraid of his threatning to kill him, Exod. 10.28, 29. yet he defied him, even when his Rage made him to pursue him and Israel with his host, to destroy them.
[non-Latin text not transcribed], he was of a bold undaunted Spirit, so as nothing was too hard for him, either to suffer or do: Magnanimity expelled his Fear, so as he would stand or march according to God's order, Faith presenting to his View at all times the great Angel of the Covenant, God the Son, the Redeemer of him and Israel, the only Potentate, the invisible King of Kings, and Lord of Lords, 1 Tim. 6.14, 15, 16. with him, and for him against Pharaoh, leading, covering, and guarding him and Israel in all the way, and fulfilling his Promise of delivering of his Church from Egppt; this makes him to march undauntedly with God's Host.
