No; They will be Healing Waters. In all thy Affliction, thy SAVIOUR is but leading thee to Medicinal Springs; Thou art carried unto the Waters; And the Effect shall be That; Isa. XXVII. 9. Iniquity shall be purged, and all the Fruit is to take away sin. Commit thyself unto the Care of a SAVIOUR, who is, The Lord thy Healer. Follow His Directions, for the use of the bitter Waters. Then be persuaded, the bitter Waters, They are given thee to clear thine Eyesight, and give thee a better Knowledge of those Things which to know is Life Eternal: They are good for the Eyes! They are given thee, to carry off thy Vicious Humours; to cleanse thee from Impurities; to sweat out thy Corruptions. They are given thee, to sharpen thy Appetite for the Best Enjoyments; to quicken thy spirits for the Work before thee; to make thee Lively in the Things that are Holy and Ju•t and Good.

My SAVIOUR will hereby Teach me out of His Law; will prevent my going astray; will make me a partaker of His Holiness. And shall they ⟨p. 19⟩be bitter Waters, that are so Sanative, so Balsamic, such Rich and Potent Cordials?
