Micah5:10

Verſe 10. And it ſhall come to paſſe in that day Viz. of Chriſts power and kingdome Pſa. 110.3. The word day here ſignifies non ſpatium diurnum, ſed diuturnum, ac à Deo deſtinatum, ſaith Danaeus, not the ſpace of 24. houres, but a long time, yet certain and ſet by God.

that I will cut off thy horſes out of thee] for the which thou haſt been trading with Egypt: and in which thou truſteſt more then in me. Some truſt in horſes, and ſome in charrets &c. I will therefore cut off both, I will take away thine earthly idol; and that in much mercy to thee: that in quietneſſe and confidence may be thy ſtrength Eſay 30.15. and ver. 7. your ſtrength is to ſit ſtil, or your Egypt is to ſit ſtil, q. d. by ſitting ſtill you ſhall have an Egypt (the ſame word Rahab ſignifieth ſtrength and Egypt) by being without their horſes, you ſhall do better then when you had them, and thought your ſelves ſimply the better or ſafer for them. See Zach. 9.10.

and I will deſtroy thy charets] That other prop and ſuppoſed help I will pull from thee: that thou maiſt not truſt to ſuch uncertainties that cannot ſave: but in the living God who giveth us all things richly to enioy 1 Tim. 6.17. Truſt is Gods jewel: and of all things, he cannot endure to be robbed of it, or wronged in it by creature confidence: for it giveth him the ſoveraignty Judg. 9.15. and ſets the crown on his head: and the contrary.
