blem. Ibid. Gyrald. p. 434. gives us a Defcription of the Parts of the Heavens, in his Emblem, "And from the Poet Silius, in his 13th Book of the Punic Wars,

Pan was Jent by Jove

His Hair the Pine furrounds, and fhades bis Brows."

P. 435. Conftantine alfo gives the PineTree to Pan, in his 11th Book, p. 436. Pan is called the Arcadian God. Propertius,

The Pine beloved by th' Arcadian God."

Whether the Cone of the Pine, which, when dry, divides like Rays, was made an Emblem of Irradiation, has not been obferved.

Because fome of the reft of the Trees now more immediately belong to the fecond or latter Part of the Covenant, I fhall adjourn them till after the Fall.

We have a comparative Description of the Place, in respect of its being watered, Gen. xii. 10. And Lot lift up his Eyes, and beheld all the Plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the Lord deftroy'd Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the Garden of the Aleim, like the Land of Egypt, as thou comeft unto Zoar. The Manner is expreffed, Ezek. xvii. 7.-That he might water it by the my Furrows (Lines) of her Plantation. In the emblematical Senfe, Pfal. xlvi. 5. 17, there is a River, the Streams whereof shall make glad the City of the Aleim: the holy Place of the Tabernacles of the Moft High. Ibid. lxv. 10. The River of the Aleim is full of Water. Ifa. xxxiii. 21. For there the glorious Jehovah fhall be to us a Place

Compare Ifa. xli. 18, 19. Ibid. xliii. 19.
Ezek. xlvii, 1, &c. Joel iii, 18. Rev. vii.

17. xxi. 6. xxii. 1. So living Water, Jer. ii. 13. xvii. 13. Zach. xiv. 8. This was applied to the falfe Religions alfo. Jer. ii. 18. What hast thou to do in the Way of Egypt, to drink the Waters of Sihor? Or what baft thou to do in the Way of Affyria, to drink the Waters of the River? This Word is alfo ufed for the material Light, and the Fountain of divine Light, of which this, divided into four Heads, is the Emblem. And it is exprefs'd as that Mystery is, Job iii. 4. Nor let the Light irradiate upon it. Pla, xxxiv. 6. They looked unto him and were enlightned. But first it was to Water the Garden; Pfa. xxxvi. 8. Thou pyn halt make them drink of the River of thy (Eden) Pleasures, For with thee is the Fountain of Lives; in thy Light we fall fee Light. So under the Word Ifa. 58. 11. and thou shalt be like a watered Garden. Jer. xxxi. 12. and their Soul fhall be as a watered Garden, So on the other fide, Ifa. i. 29. And ye Shall be confounded for the Gardens ye have chofen; and ye fhall be as a Garden that bath no Water The apoftate Jews had fome Cuftoms of ufing Water under fome Tree in the Middle of the Gardens, no doubt brought down from fome reprefentative Tree in the Middle of Paradife mentioned

And we find fomething extraordinary in another Description, Neh. iii. 15. The Wall n of the Pool bun Siloah into the Garden of the King. Ifa. xxii. 11. Ye made alfo a Ditch (a Lake) between the two Walls for the Water of the old Pool, but have not looked unto the Maker thereof, neither had refpect unto him that fashioned it long ago. John ix. 7. Go wash in the Pool of Siloa, (which is by Interpretation, Sent.) It feems as if this had been fome antient Reprefentation in the King's Garden, in Imitation of fome fuch Thing in Paradife. Cod. Talm. of the Tabernacle, p. 366. §. ix. "How was the Libation of Waters made? a Golden Phial that contained three Logs was filled from Siloah; when they came to the Water Gate, they founded the Trumpet with a flat Sound, then with a broken or barp Sound, and afterward with a plain Sound again; He who had drawn the Water went up by the afcent to the Altar, and turned himself to the left Hand, &c." The Word wp to fanctify, has fo large a Signification, that it includes almoft all the Appoint

ments,

ments, Forms, and Services, in the Law; the Species of Things or Trees, they fanctified themselves befides, is not named here, but we fhall find that the Patriarchs per

formed all their Services befides the Tree

The Word clean, reaches to Creatures, for Food, for Sacrifice, and to other things befides the Body; and must have been fettled in Paradife by Adam; when he confidered the Beasts, Birds, &c. none had Commiffion after. And one may fuppofe that there was fome Preparation inftituted before Sacrifice, fuch as washing their Bodies and their Garments; because it was in ufe among the Patriarchs before the written Law. Gen. xxxv. 2. Put away the ftrange Aleim that are among you, and non be clean, (purify your felves) and change your Garments. As we find this with Sacrifice, we fhall defer it till we come to that Subject. It is in vain to pretend to trace out the Rivers; they and their Names both perished by the Diffolution of the Earth at the Flood: And though Man, when driven out, was kept from the Fountain, yet the Streams promulgated these Waters, perhaps, towards the four Corners of the Earth: And thefe are they which cleanfe. These are Emblems of the Means
