who_o will_v expect_v or_o look_v for_o water_n out_o of_o a_o rock_n therefore_o it_o be_v so_o often_o remember_v with_o admiration_n psal_n 78.20_o the_o rock_n be_v of_o no_o great_a pomp_n to_o

reference_n to_o the_o rock_n from_o whence_o it_o come_v and_o in_o this_o there_o be_v a_o fourfold_a analogy_n observable_a 1._o as_o the_o water_n issue_v out_o of_o the_o rock_n so_o the_o spirit_n proceed_v and_o come_v from_o christ_n the_o comforter_n who_o i_o will_v send_v unto_o you_o from_o the_o father_n joh._n 15.26_o to_o refresh_v the_o weary_a soul_n when_o ready_a to_o

have_v never_o have_v any_o refresh_a water_n never_o any_o river_n of_o joy_n and_o consolation_n from_o his_o spirit_n 3._o the_o next_o time_n the_o rock_n must_v be_v speak_v to_o numb_a 20.8_o it_o seem_v that_o god_n in_o his_o unsearchable_a wisdom_n and_o providence_n do_v so_o order_v it_o that_o the_o water_n do_v cease_v at_o this_o time_n which_o have_v follow_v they_o thirty_o eight_o year_n hereupon_o the_o people_n murmur_n and_o their_o murmur_a cause_n moses_n himself_o to_o stagger_v at_o the_o promise_n through_o unbelief_n though_o in_o this_o moses_n do_v miss_v it_o too_o for_o that_o he_o smite_v the_o rock_n in_o stead_n of_o speak_v to_o it_o but_o this_o we_o may_v learn_v from_o it_o christ_n must_v be_v preach_v as_o well_o as_o suffer_v for_o we_o and_o in_o and_o by_o the_o speak_n and_o preach_v of_o the_o gospel_n he_o do_v communicate_v his_o spirit_n gal._n 3.2_o receive_v you_o the_o spirit_n by_o the_o work_v of_o the_o law_n or_o by_o

analogy_n in_o this_o that_o the_o rock_n follow_v they_o either_o the_o rock_n itself_o or_o as_o other_o the_o rock_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o river_n and_o stream_n of_o water_n issue_v from_o it_o so_o do_v the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n follow_v his_o people_n in_o all_o their_o change_n and_o travel_v up_o and_o down_o in_o the_o wilderness_n of_o this_o world_n when_o we_o run_v from_o

another_o i_o shall_v close_v with_o a_o threefold_a improvement_n of_o this_o truth_n use_v 1_o we_o may_v here_o see_v that_o they_o have_v the_o gospel_n preach_v unto_o they_o as_o well_o as_o we_o for_o this_o spiritual_a bread_n be_v christ_n and_o the_o rock_n that_o follow_v they_o be_v christ_n if_o they_o have_v not_o all_o that_o i_o have_v preach_v to_o day_n and_o ever_o since_o
