It is no wonder that God should provide rain so places that a•e inhabi ed; but where no man is, there to water the earth, to what purpose is that, yet the Lord will water such places (as it were) by his own hand, and (as 'tis said, Psal. 107.35.) Turn the wilderness into standing water, and dry ground into Water-springs. Though there be no man to eat the fruit, which the rain produceth from the earth (of which the Text speaks afterward) yet God will send rain to make that land fruitful, for the beasts sake, that they may have grass and green things to feed upon. God will provide for the beasts of the earth, where there are no men to provide for them, nor to be provided for. God is a great House-keeper: He nourisheth all living creatures as well as men, as he preserves, so he feeds the beasts of the ⟨p. 209⟩Earth, and the fishes of the Sea, as well as men (Psal. 104.27.) These all wait upon thee (O Lord) that thou mayest give them their meat in due season; the very fishes in the Sea wait upon God for their meat, and so do fowls of the air, together with all things moving upon the face of the Earth (Psal. 145.15.) The eyes of all wait upon thee, and thou givest them meat in due season; and that he may do so, he gives them rain in due season; He causeth it to rain on the Earth where no man is, and upon the wilderness, where there is no man. God hath beasts to provide for, where men are not, and he will not let a beast that he hath made, want food; the very worms shall have a support of life.
