Will a man leave the snow of Lebanon which cometh from the rock of the field] Or, will a man leave my fields for a rock, or for the snow of Lebanon? Will any traveller be so mad, as to leave the plain, where he may travell at ease without hinderance, and climb over craggie hills and rocks through bushes and thickets covered with snow? as this people doth; who leave my service, which is easie and free; to serve idols, that require of them other manner of service, then I do. Deuteronomy 12:30. 31. 1 Kings 18:28. Chap. 19. 5. Vers. 15.
shall the cold flowing waters that come from another place, be forsaken] Or, shall the running waters be forsaken for the strange cold waters? Or, shall the cool running waters be forsaken for strange ones? Will a thirstie traveller, having cool running water at hand to slake his thirst, refuse it, and go to seek after other water in standing ponds, pools or puddles else-where? Or, will any man having fresh conduit water of his own at home, when he is athirst, go to seek strange water abroad? Proverbs 5:15. See the application, Chap. 2. 13. Vers. 15.
