thirst no more Lord faith she give mee this water that I may no more thirst nor come hither to draw Ioh. 4. 15. So let it stir up our desires after it also that wee may get within the well that springeth up to eternall life 3. What meanes may we use for the attaining of water out of this rock Answ. 1. Be an Israelite That rock was smitten onely for them This rock is laid in Sion not in Aegypt No Aegyptian no Canaanite no Romish Aegyptian that drinkes of that Popish puddle no profane worldlings taste of these waters swill and draffe is good enough for such swine 2. Come to the place Israel must goe out of their houses as well to fetch water out of the rock as to gather Manna The place whence the rock sends water is the threshold of the Sanctuary Ezech. 47. If wee will not stirre out of our dores wee may justly starve 3. Avoid letts and hindrances that damme up these waters As 1. Ignorance of their worth and of thy owne neede Ioh. 4. 10. If thou knewest the gift of God thou wouldest have asked c. Good reason thou want it who thinkest it a thing thou mayst best want Many among us like Tantalus in the midst of water die for thirst 2. Hardnesse of heart which keepes the soule dry and barren and abiding in the naturall hardnesse of a rock all the waters of this spirituall rock are lost upon it 3. A quenching and grieving of the spirit this turns the stream another way that it finds another channell Greeve not the spirit but grieve rather that thy selfe art so strait-necked a vessell 4. Secure neglect of meanes A man that will be rich followes the meanes so he that meaneth to be rich in grace whereas he that meaneth to die a begger casts up all and makes holy day at his pleasure 4. Provide 1. the bucket of faith to draw for the well is deepe and without this bucket thou gettest none Ioh. 4. 11. 2. Find a fit vessell to put these waters in As 1. a cleane vessell of a pure heart Who would put Aquavitae or Balme water in a fusty and stinking bottle 2. a whole vessell that it leake not out againe This whole vessell is a whole and sincere heart but broken all to pieces No vessel here can hold but a broken and contrite heart God fils the humble the haughty and proud are sent away empty CHAP. XXIV The Brazen Serpent a Type THe History of the Brazen Serpent is in Numb 21. 6 7 8. where are two things I. The disease II The remedy The disease is set downe 1. in the occasion ver 5. 2. in the kind by fiery Serpents sent by God to sting them 3. in the effect many dyed In all which Story wee must not stick in the letter or barke but breake through to the kernell and truth The rather because our Lord Jesus an interpreter beyond all exception brings us hereby to himselfe and to the consideration both of our disease and of the remedy and the application of it Ioh 3. 14. 15. As Moses lift up the serpent in the wildernesse so must the Sonne of man be lift up that whosoever beleeveth in him should not perish but have eternall life It will be now both pleasant and profitable to looke a little while upon the apt resemblance of the type with the truth both in the disease and remedy and first of the occasion of the disease Sect. I. I. The occasion of the disease was the peccant humor of ingratitude and murmuring against the grace of God miraculously manifested in the wildernesse Never had any people upon the face of the earth the like mercies from God the like experience of God Never any fed and feasted with so many miracles as it were in ordinary They have water following them every where out of a rock They have read from heaven delicate even to a miracle but this Angels food is too light and no bread will serve them but from earth God gave them abundance of it for the gathering he rained it most bountifully round about their tents but their unthankfull souls loathe it and tread it under foot And therefore rising up against God and tempting him they were destroyed of Serpents 1. Cor. 10. 9. Note here by the way 1. The Justice of God Hee that brought Manna from heaven to feed them for contempt of his grace now brings serpents out of the earth to revenge and destroy them Rom. 2. 4. 5. The despising of Gods bountifulnesse treasureth up wrath See the same Justice on our selves How lightly did wee in our first parents regard that upheaped measure of bounty and grace conferred by God in our Creation and innoceny And how justly were we stung to death by the old serpent for it The unthankfull person is the greatest robber that is 2. See the equity of this Justice on the Israelites They not contented to murmur against the Lord set also upon Moses and Aaron his servants Why have ye brought us into the wildernesse to die Now their punishment is answerable to their sinne They transgresse in hot and fiery tongues and are punished by hot and fiery stings Venemous words against God and his servants are revenged by the mouthes of poysoned and venemous serpents Doe thou at thy perill sting God and his servants with bitter words God will have some serpent or other to sting thee I am out of doubt that many great plagues have lingred and doe amongst us in this land for the poysoned and reviling speeches cast against God and his servants every where We sting his holy profession and servants incessantly and he stings us with the scorpions of his Judgements 3. Beware of being weary of manna Never did man complaine of plenty of manna but was justly stung with want of it Doe thou complaine without cause and thou shalt have cause to complaine Israel that complaines of too much manna shall shortly change their note and cry out of too many serpents II. The kind of the disease The Lord sent fiery serpents to sting them Where 1. why serpents 2. why fiery 3. why stinging 1. This disease by serpents lively resembles our disease of soule which is no other then the fiery sting of the old serpent which is the devill Rev. 12. 9.
