2 Kings5:12
12 Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? May I not wash in them, and be clean ? So he turned and went away in a rage.
Is there not as great a vertue in them to this purpose? But he should have considered, that the Cure was not to be wrought by the Water, but by the Power of God, who might use what means and methods of Cure he pleased.
