Psalms78:26

Verſ. 26. He cauſed an Eaſt-wind to blow] Pergere, to go, to paſs away, and to give place to the South-wind.

And by his power, hee brought in the South-wind] That it might bring in the Quails.Lib. 10. c. 23. Now Pliny writeth, that Quails, though they love to flye with the wind becauſe of their heavy bodies and ſmall ſtrength, yet not with the Southwind, becauſe it is moiſt and ſo more heavy than the Northwind, which therefore they rather delight in. And if this be true, here's another miracle, faith an Expoſitour, that theſe Quailes were brought in by that wind, which when it bloweth, they commonly reſt and hide themſelves.
