plentifully was God pleafed to provide for us in our 
greateft ftreight ; and which encreafes both the Wonder 
and Mercy, the next morning, all this great quantity of 
Water was paft away, fo that in about two hour's riding 
we could hardly perceive that there had been any Rain at 
all. This memorable Place is known by the name of
