1 Exod. 17 6. when the people were in Rephidem, in the first year after their coming from Egypt, they fainted in their journeys for want of water, and (according to the wonted custom of that Rebellious people) complained, with murmuring. So they extorted all their mercies, and therefore they were attended with such sore judgements Whilst the meat was in their mouths, the Plague was on their bones.
1 Exod. 17 6. when the people were in Rephidem, in the first year after their comming from Aegypt, they fainted in their journies for want of water, and (according to the wonted custome of that Rebellious people) complained, with murmuring. So they extorted all their mercies, and therefore they were attended with such sore judgements Whil'st the meat was in their mouths, the Plague was on their bones.
Mercies extorted by murmurings, unseasoned with loving kindness, though they may be Quails in the mouth will be plagues in the belly. Let us take heed lest we r•pine the Almighty into a full Harvest, and lean souls. Get and keep mercies in Gods way, or there is death in the Pot.1
