“And Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also, etc.] As he did before, when he found the plague was removed, and the flies were gone: neither would he let the people go; through pride and covetousness, being loath to have the number of those under his dominion so much diminished, and to lose so large a branch of his revenues arising from the labour of these people.”
