figure_n of_o he_o it_o be_v a_o rock_n which_o in_o appearance_n be_v dry_a and_o barren_a and_o a_o very_a unlikely_a thing_n to_o afford_v water_n so_o christ_n in_o his_o outward_a state_n in_o the_o day_n of_o his_o flesh_n seem_v very_o unlikely_a to_o carnal_a eye_n to_o afford_v such_o spiritual_a water_n of_o grace_n and_o salvation_n ii_o it_o seem_v wonderful_a that_o it_o shall_v send_v forth_o water_n in_o such_o abundance_n so_o jesus_n christ_n to_o the_o wonder_n of_o man_n and_o angel_n send_v forth_o the_o water_n of_o life_n in_o abundance_n to_o all_o those_o that_o

for_o a_o rebellious_a people_n who_o murmur_v against_o god_n and_o who_o deserve_v no_o such_o grace_n and_o favour_n from_o he_o so_o christ_n be_v slay_v for_o we_o who_o be_v rebel_n and_o

that_o they_o may_v not_o lose_v their_o way_n so_o christ_n be_v our_o guide_n in_o the_o dark_a night_n of_o trouble_n temptation_n and_o desertion_n iii_o the_o pillar_n of_o fire_n be_v not_o

and_o yet_o be_v in_o darkness_n or_o have_v but_o little_a or_o no_o light_n so_o jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o only_o a_o guide_n to_o his_o people_n in_o their_o pass_n through_o the_o night_n of_o
