III. That Rock sent forth its Water to the People of Israel, when they were ready to perish for Thirst, there being no way to relieve them: So Christ refreshes the Souls of poor Sinners that come unto him, when they can find no Help, Comfort, or Refreshment any where else,1 but without him must perish eternally. If ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your Sins.
IV. The Rock was smitten, before it yielded Water: So Jesus Christ was smitten of God, and crucified, that his precious Blood might be poured forth, to consummate the Redemption of our Souls.
V. The Rock was smitten for a rebellious People, who murmured against God, and who deserved no such Grace and Favour from him: So Christ was slain for us, who were Rebels and Enemies to him by evil Works, who deserved nothing but his eternal Wrath and Displeasure.
