3. A fountain is so called from the Diffusiveness of its waters. The waters in a Well, or a Pond, are shut up, and they move not; but are confined to one place; they are standing: but a fountain is ever running over its banks, and spreading it self far and near, imparting of it self in its streams. Hence we so often read of running waters in the Scriptures. Such also is Christ in respect of his Grace. We have an Allegorical description given of this in Ezek. 47. begin. in those waters of the Sanctuary, which ran from the south side of the Altar, and increased as they went along; which point •o that we are now considering of. A fountain may be conveyed in streams to many pla•es, for the supply of such as want it: and Christ conveys his Grace here and there; and •here is never a street in the City of God but • abundantly refreshed with it.
