The rock, out of the which plenty of1 sweet waters gushed out for the comfort ⟨image 47⟩of the thirsty Israelites in the wilderness, signified Christ also as Saint Paul doth declare. For as that rock gave out abundance of sweet and plea saint waters to the great comfort of the people of Israel, which otherwise should have perished: so likewise is Christ y• rock, out of the which floweth plenty of heavenly waters, comfortable for the thirsty soul, which otherwise can not be succoured but must needs perish. And he that drinketh of those heavenly waters which come out of the rock Christ, shall not need to seek after the •inking & dirty puddles of other. For in this Christ, he shall find plenty of waters to drink, yea and that unto the uttermost for his souls health, as Christ him self sayeth.
