John Trapp on Nehemiah 9:20

Verſe 20. Thou gaveſt alſo thy good Spirit] Viz. to their Governours and teachers, Numb. 11.16, 17, 25, 26. Yea to every good ſoul, that they might be all taught of God, led into all truth and holineſſe,Joel 2.28. Eph. 5.9. For which end God hath promiſed to poure his Spirit upon all fleſh, that is, the beſt thing upon the baſeſt. Next to the ſending of his Son in the fleſh (which is called the gift Joh. 4.10. and the benefit 1 Tim. 6.2.) what can God do more for his people then to give them his good ſpirit? this is to give them all good things in one, Mat. 7.11. with Luke 11.13.

And withheldeſt not thy Manna] See verſe 15. It is twice mentioned as a ſingular and ſignall mercy. And it is well obſerved by a Reverend Writer, that this Manna and water from the Rock, (which was Chriſt in the Goſpel) were given this people before the Law, the Sacraments of grace before the legall Covenant. The Grace of God preventeth our obedience: Therefore ſhall we keep the Law of God, becauſe we have a Saviour.
