Hawker's Poor man's commentary

Exodus 15:4

If we consider the subject all along spiritually, which undoubtedly, in order to enter into the full enjoyment of it, we ought, what a refreshing thought is it to consider, that as Pharaoh is a type of the great enemy of souls, and is here with all his retinue destroyed, so ultimately will be that foe of God and man. See Exodus 14:28, compared with Revelation 12:9.
