Again, The Earth is said to drink in the Rain. The Expression is Metaphorical but common. [Greek or Hebrew]. And the Allusion is taken from living Creatures, who by drinking take in water into their inward parts and bowels. To do thus is peculiar unto the Earth. If the Rain falls upon Rocks or Stones, it runs off from them, it hath no admission into them. But into the Earth it soaks more or less, according as the condition of the Ground is more or less receptive of it. And it is the nature of the Earth as it were to suck in these moistening Rains that fall upon it, until it be even inebriated, Psal. 65. 10. Thou visitest the Earth. and ⟨p. 57⟩watereth it, thou waterest the Ridges thereof abundantly, thou settlest the Furrows thereof. [Greek or Hebrew] thou inebriatest or makest drunk the Furrows thereof.
