Ver. 15. Thou didst walk through the sea, &c.] q.d. Shall they thus prevail by iniquity? and did they carry the ball upon the foot till they had gotten the goal?

Through the heap of great waters] Which thou laidest on heaps for thy people's sake, so that, instead of being swallowed up, they were preserved thereby.

Cum res est in acie novaculae, God will be seen of his in the mount.
