And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.

Ver. 10. And a river went out.] Pliny writeth, a that in the province of Babylon there is burning and smothering a certain lake or bog, about the size of an acre. And who knows, whether that be not a piece of Paradise now drowned and destroyed?
