The Sacraments, the Seals of the New Covenant, have a special reference to his Death the Foundation of it.

4. The Miraculous Waters followed the Israelites in their Journey, without which they had perished in the Wilderness. This represents that Indeficiency of the Grace of Christ. A Sovereign stream flows from him to satisfy all Believers. He tells us, Whosoever drinketh of the Water that I shall give him, shall never thirst; but the Water that I shall give him, shall be in him a Well of Water springing up unto Everlasting Life.1
