No water — Which having followed them through all their former journeys, began to fail them here, because they were now come near countries, where waters might be had by ordinary means, and therefore God would not use extraordinary, lest he should seem to prostitute the honour of miracles.

It is a great mercy, to have plenty of water; a mercy which if we found the want of, we should own the worth of.
