SCHIPTURE ILLUSTRATION'S.—No. 190. JOHN IY. 6.—"Now Jacob's weil was there." "At about one third of an liotir from Xaplosa, (the jrticient Sychar) we came to Jacob's Well; famous not oniv upon account of its author, but much more for that memorable conference which our biessed Ssiviotir here had with the woman of Samaria." If it should be questioned whether this be the very well or no, seeing that it stands rather remofe from Sychar, for women to come so far to draw water, it is answered, that probably the city extended farther this way in former times than it dues now as may be conjectured from some pieces of a very thick, wall, still to be seen not far from hence. Over the well there Stood formerly a large church, erected by that great and devout Patroness of tie Holy Land, the Empress Helena- But of this, the voracity of time, assisted by the hands of the Turks, has left nothing but a few foundations remaining. The well is covered at present with an old stone vaijlt, inio itikicik you are let down through a very straight hole; and tlieii, reiiiovlii, i-i broad flat stone, vou discover the mouth of the well itself. It is dll in a firtrl rock, and contains about three yards in diameter, and tlÚrtyjice ilt depth; five of which we found full of water. This confutes a story commonly told to travel- lers, who do not take the pains to examine the weli, viz. that it is dry all the year round, ex- cept on the anniversay of that day, on which our blessed Saviour sat upon it but their bubbles up with abundance of water. At this well the narrow vale of Sychem ends opening itselfinto a wide field, which is probably part of that parcel of ground" given by Jacob to his son Joseph: John iv. 5. It is watered with a fresit stream rising between it and Sychem which n)akes it so exceeding verdant and fruitful, that it may well be looked upon as a standing token of the tender affection of that good Patriarch to the best of ons.
