cried unto the LORD] When the people murmure for meat or drinke, Moses betakes him to the Lord: for the belly hath no eares, and a rude multitude are as like to be provoked, as pacified with words: but the godly may alwaies have recourse unto God, and find acceptance with him; and he that can still the noise of the waves of the Sea, can still the tumult of the people, Psalms 65:7. to stone me] How madly do the common people (sometimes) mutinie against their most godly Governours? there is great cause, to pitie and pray for those who are set over a multitude: since it is difficult to please them, and to displease them dangegerous: but no cause to thinke the worse of them, because their rage is rash and irreligious.
