that_o the_o thing_n itself_o be_v otherwise_o unlikely_a even_o by_o reason_n out_o of_o moses_n story_n for_o they_o say_v if_o it_o be_v mean_v of_o the_o first_o rock_n at_o rephidim_n how_o

how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o they_o offer_v to_o 26._o buy_v water_n at_o a_o price_n of_o the_o edomite_n if_o water_n follow_v they_o at_o the_o heel_n but_o unto_o the_o first_o it_o may_v

come_n out_o of_o egypt_n when_o the_o first_o rock_n be_v smite_v to_o give_v they_o water_n 41._o and_o that_o in_o all_o their_o change_n of_o station_n for_o almost_o thirty_o eight_o year_n after_o we_o never_o find_v the_o least_o mention_n of_o any_o want_n thereof_o though_o they_o travel_v further_o in_o a_o dry_a and_o unwatered_a wilderness_n it_o will_v follow_v from_o hence_o that_o either_o they_o store_v themselves_o with_o water_n for_o so_o many_o year_n which_o be_v impossible_a or_o else_o the_o water_n of_o the_o rock_n run_v after_o they_o and_o it_o may_v be_v their_o journey_n be_v so_o order_v by_o the_o low_a ground_n that_o it_o may_v natural_o do_v so_o so_o long_o as_o the_o miraculous_a fountain_n last_v as_o for_o the_o other_o objection_n how_o they_o come_v again_o to_o want_v water_n at_o kadesh_n it_o be_v easy_o answer_v for_o god_n may_v for_o a_o new_a trial_n of_o his_o people_n make_v the_o first_o miracle_n cease_v when_o it_o please_v he_o and_o see_v at_o that_o station_n they_o have_v take_v a_o clean_a contrary_a way_n unto_o the_o former_a it_o may_v be_v the_o position_n of_o the_o earth_n hinder_v it_o god_n
so_o order_v their_o journey_n of_o purpose_n and_o as_o for_o their_o buy_a water_n of_o the_o edomite_n present_o upon_o the_o smite_v of_o the_o second_o rock_n at_o kadesh_n it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o this_o rock_n be_v not_o like_o the_o former_a and_o so_o our_o apostle_n by_o the_o word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d do_v imply_v he_o speak_v of_o the_o first_o only_a or_o howsoever_o

they_o it_o be_v a_o water_v country_n thus_o much_o i_o think_v good_a to_o speak_v in_o defence_n of_o that_o exposition_n which_o our_o translation_n seem_v to_o approve_v by_o add_v the_o word_n they_o unto_o which_o you_o see_v we_o may_v without_o difficulty_n yield_v our_o assent_n otherwise_o it_o be_v easy_a yet_o to_o add_v among_o such_o a_o variety_n a_o four_o exposition_n diverse_a from_o all_o the_o former_a namely_o that_o by_o leave_v out_o the_o word_n they_o the_o word_n follow_v shall_v be_v expound_v not_o of_o follow_v in_o regard_n of_o place_n but_o of_o time_n and_o

sense_n say_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d of_o the_o spiritual_a rock_n follow_v shall_v be_v understand_v as_o follow_v upon_o the_o rain_v of_o manna_n the_o mystery_n of_o drink_n follow_v the_o

now_o i_o come_v to_o the_o second_o thing_n i_o propound_v wherein_o this_o manna_n and_o this_o rock_n be_v spiritual_a that_o be_v sacramental_a and_o this_o be_v in_o regard_n they_o be_v sign_n

in_o some_o sort_n ground_v upon_o a_o resemblance_n which_o the_o sign_n have_v with_o the_o thing_n signify_v for_o as_o plato_n in_o cratylus_n say_v that_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o first_o imposer_n and_o inventor_n of_o the_o name_n of_o thing_n be_v such_o in_o their_o choice_n that_o they_o make_v the_o letter_n and_o syllable_n to_o agree_v with_o and_o to_o express_v the_o
