Hebrews11:29

Verſe 29. They paſſed thorow the red ſea] Which threatened to ſwallow them, but yet preſerved them. Faith will eat it's way thorow the Alpes of ſeemingly-inſuperable difficulties, and finde unexpected out-gates.

As by dry land] Iſrael ſaw no way to eſcape here, unleſſe they could have gone up to heaven: which becauſe they could not (ſaith one) heaven comes down to them, and paves them a way thorow the red ſea.

Aſſaying to do were drowned] Here that holy Proverb was exemplified, The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his ſtead, Prov. 11.8. See Iſa. 43.3. God uſually infatuateth thoſe whom he intendeth to deſtroy, as theſe.
