And, O that I might study those instructing clouds, from §2which, as from the bottles of heaven, God pours down refreshing showers to quench and satisfy the thirsty earth! in this may I resemble them, and come amongst the people of the Lord, in the fullness of the blessing of the Gospel of Christ, Rom. 15. 29. O let not those thirsty souls that wait for me as for the rain, Job 29. 23. Return like the Troops of Tema, ashamed with their heads covered. Job 6. 19. O that my lips might refresh many! let me never be like those empty clouds, which deceive the hopes of thirsty souls; but let my doctrine descend as the rain and distil as the dew, and let that plot of thine inheritance which thou hast assigned to me, be as the field which the Lord hath blessed.
