Numbers20:11
11 And Moses lift up his hand, and with his rod, he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also .
To the men it was a sacrament, 1 Cor. 10. 3, 4. but to the beasts it was no holy but a common thing. So that the elements in the Sacraments have no inherent and inseparable holiness, but onely a relative holiness with respect to their use, out of which they are unholy and common.
