This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Exo_8:14 And they gathered them together upon heaps: and the land stank.
Ver. 14. And the land stank.] As once this land also did by those unclean frogs that came out of the Pope’s mouth. {Rev_16:3} But England is now no more a babe, said King Henry VIII, in his protestation against the Pope: {a} there is no man here but now he knows that they do foolishly that give gold for lead, &c. Surely, except God take away our right wits, not only the Pope’s authority shall be driven out for ever, but his name also shall shortly be forgotten in England, &c. Thus he, and much more to like purpose. God hath promised to take away the unclean spirit out of the land. {Zec_13:2} Fiat, fiat. Surely the society of ungodly men, whether Papists or atheists, is unsavoury and tedious, like the slime and filth that is congealed, when frogs and toads and other vermin join together.
{a} Act. and Mon., fol. 990.
