Exo_1:17 But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive.

Ver. 17. And did not as the king, &c.] Wherein they did no more, though out of a better principle, than nature itself dictateth. Antigona saith thus in Sophocles, Magis obtemperandum est Diis apud quos diutius manendum erit, quam hominibus quibuscum admodum brevi tempore vivendum est. {See Trapp on "Act_4:19"} "We must rather obey God than men."
