to satisfie his covetous desire and not for necessary uses that was the transgression of the Law The next part of the interdiction was this that he should not multiplie horses to himselfe The end of this interdiction was first to take away all commerce and dealing with the Egyptians for having commerce with the Egyptians bringing horses from thence they were in danger to be infected with Idolatry Secondly he forbad them to multiply horses least Why God forbad them to multiplie they should trust in them Psal 20. 7.

Giue not thy strength to women nor thy wayes to that which destroyeth Kings the Heathen Kings gaue themselues much to haue many wiues Asshuerus commanded that through all his Provinces which were an hundreth twentie and seaven that the most beautifull Virgins should be brought to him Esth 2. 3.
