Exodus 14:26

26 And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.

Arcana Coelestia #8216

8216. 'And made them drive heavily' means resistance and lack of power. This is clear from the meaning of 'wheels' as the power to advance falsities, dealt with immediately above in 8215, so that 'making them drive heavily' means being hindered by resistance, and therefore means lack of power.
