236 Chap. 22. An Expoftion upon the Book of j`o B. `Vcrf.5 at the third to the loynr, but afterward it was a River that hecoctl4 not pafs over, for the waters were rifen, waters to fwim in, a River that could not be paired over. (Ezek. 47.3 4, 5.) Now, I lay,as 4ny fuch ,raters above ground, fo all waters underground, may be called waters forgotten of the foot, being fuch as the foot of man never trod id, or fuch as men did not think their feetlhould have met wirh it chore places. But what doe they in this care ? is the work utterly loft for ever ? No ; they may be kindred for a time, but the latter parg of the verfe (hews us what they doe to remove and remedy this obflruaion. They are dried up,' theyaregone away from men. The Hebrew word which we tranflate dryad up, may bear refs --; `117-1 attention- ticn to two rootes ; whereof the one iünthes, to leflen, after; turÎGnc aurot Hoare, or dimini(li ; thus_ the waters are din-tinned : the other, cognate radi- to drareor dry up. No fa, waters are drawn and dryed up two eel 1-1Lr ape_ wayes ; firfi, in a natural way, by the heat of the Sun ( the Sun roari et ;1'11 is the great water- drawer or water- dryer) fecondly, in an arti- saurire. %icial way, by pumps and buckets. So the word is ufed (Exod. 2. 19.) An Egyptian drew water enough for tee; &c. The drawingor drying up of water here intended is artificial ; for the Sun-beams have no fuck attractive power upon the waters under ground. Bwc they who labour in mines have engines to draw awaythere watersn and then '!.(as we render) they are gone away from" men. Yet Exhanriun- tut tnorcalis fot#e traiìflate more clearly to the fence already given, they are operaabfce- gone away by men, or, they are drawn ont by the labour of man, dunt.7un. they are gone. Workmen by their pains and skill deliver them- rran,/l.
