§. 10. Of instances of Gods preserving in famine, and removing famine.
That the fore-mentioned promises may with the stronger confidence be rested upon, take instance of 1Gods performing them. aWhen in Abraham's time there was a famine in the land where he sojourned, he went down into Egypt, where the Lord kept him and his wife in safety. bWhen again there was a famine in Isaaks time, God directed him whither to go. cGod sent Joseph purposely before hand into Egypt to preserve Jacob and all that were with him in famine. dBy his Prophet God adviseth the Shunemite with her house to sojourn where was plenty, when he intended to bring a famine on Israel. eMiraculously did the Lord provide for Elijah and the widow of Zarephats in famine. So did he for the Israelites in the wilderness. fWhen they wanted bread and meat, extraordinarily he provided Manna and Quails for them: and gwhen they wanted water, he brought it out of a rock for them. So hfor Sampson, when he was ready to die for thirst, God extraordinarily provided water. iAt Elijah's prayer, after Gods wrath was pacified, on a sudden, rain, having been with-held three years and an half, fell down abundantly.
