EXOD. XVII. IX. To morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in mine hand.
*The Internal means, as promised on Moses part to be used by him, are here set down. Wherein 1. the action undertaken by him is thus expressed, I will stand. This gesture of the body is put for an action of the mind 2signified thereby, which is prayer. For standing was of old an usual gesture of prayer. It never was the only gesture. For the Scripture expresseth many other: whereof some were gestures of the whole body; others of particular members thereof.
