4. As this River is deep, broad 1and full, so it still aboundeth with Water. The Waters, says the Prophet, were risen. Hence the Holy Ghost saith, God causeth the Waters to flow: And again, And it shall come to pass ⟨p. 17⟩in that Day (the Day of the Gospel) that the Mountains shall drop with new Wine, and the Hills shall flow with Milk, and all the Rivers of Judah shall flow with Waters, and a 2Fountain shall come forth of the House of the Lord, and shall water the Valley of Shittim. When a River flows, it has more Water than its Banks can 3bound; it has Water. Behold, he smote the Rock that the Waters gushed out, and the Streams over-flowed.
