Wherefore, as I said, such provision for the thirsty, intimates their fears of want, and the craving appetite of their Souls after God, Right Spiritual thirst is not to be satisfied without abundance of Grace. And 1they shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy House, and thou shalt make them drink of the River of thy Pleasures.

When Israel went out of Egypt, and thirsted by the way, God provided for them a River, he made it GUSH out of the Rock; For 1alas! what less than a River, could quench the thirst of more than Six hundred thousand men, besides women and children?
