mourn_v etc._n etc._n behold_v in_o all_o these_o place_n the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n be_v intend_v and_o for_o our_o better_a understanding_n it_o be_v compare_v to_o water_n to_o a_o well_o of_o water_n to_o spring_n of_o water_n and_o to_o flood_n of_o water_n 2._o it_o be_v also_o call_v the_o spirit_n of_o life_n 1._o more_o close_o 2._o more_o open_o first_o more_o close_o where_o it_o be_v call_v 38._o live_v water_n that_o live_v water_n and_o water_n spring_v up_o to_o everlasting_a life_n second_o then_o more_o open_o or_o express_o it_o be_v call_v the_o spirit_n of_o life_n and_o after_o three_o day_n and_o a_o half_a the_o spirit_n of_o life_n from_o god_n 11._o enter_v into_o they_o and_o they_o stand_v upon_o their_o foot_n from_o hence_o therefore_o i_o conclude_v that_o by_o these_o term_n water_n of_o life_n be_v mean_v the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n or_o the_o spirit_n and_o grace_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o term_n be_v such_o as_o be_v most_o apt_a to_o set_v forth_o the_o spirit_n and_o grace_n of_o the_o gospel_n by_o for_o first_o by_o this_o term_n water_n a_o opposition_n to_o sin_n be_v present_v unto_o we_o sin_n be_v compare_v to_o water_n to_o deadly_a water_n and_o man_n be_v say_v to_o drink_v it_o as_o one_o that_o drink_v water_n how_o much_o 16._o more_o abominable_a and_o filthy_a be_v man_n which_o drink_v iniquity_n like_o water_n so_o then_o that_o grace_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n be_v compare_v to_o water_n it_o be_v to_o show_v what_o a_o antidote_n grace_n be_v against_o sin_n it_o be_v as_o i_o may_v call_v it_o counter-poison_n to_o it_o it_o be_v that_o only_a thing_n by_o the_o virtue_n of_o which_o sin_n can_v be_v forgive_v vanquish_v and_o overcome_v second_o by_o this_o term_n water_n you_o have_v a_o opposition_n also_o to_o the_o curse_n that_o be_v due_a to_o sin_n present_v unto_o you_o the_o curse_n be_v compare_v to_o water_n the_o remedy_n be_v compare_v to_o water_n let_v the_o curse_n come_v into_o 18._o the_o bowel_n of_o the_o damn_a say_v the_o psalmist_n like_o water_n the_o grace_n of_o god_n also_o as_o you_o see_v be_v compare_v to_o water_n the_o curse_n be_v burn_a water_n be_v cool_v the_o curse_n do_v burn_v with_o hellfire_n cool_v be_v by_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o holy_a gospel_n but_o they_o that_o over-stand_a the_o day_n of_o grace_n shall_v not_o obtain_v to_o cool_v their_o tongue_n so_o much_o of_o this_o water_n as_o will_v hang_v on_o the_o tip_n of_o one_o finger_n three_o water_n be_v also_o of_o a_o spreadieg_n 25._o nature_n and_o so_o be_v sin_n wherefore_o sin_n may_v for_o this_o be_v also_o compare_v to_o water_n it_o over-spreads_a the_o whole_a man_n and_o infect_v every_o member_n it_o cover_v all_o as_o do_v water_n grace_n for_o this_o cause_n may_v be_v also_o compare_v to_o water_n for_o that_o it_o be_v of_o a_o spread_a nature_n and_o can_v if_o god_n will_v cover_v the_o face_n of_o the_o whole_a earth_n of_o body_n and_o soul._n four_o sin_n be_v of_o a_o foul_n defile_v nature_n and_o grace_n be_v of_o a_o wash_n cleanse_a nature_n therefore_o grace_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n be_v compare_v to_o water_n i_o will_v say_v god_n sprinkle_v 25._o clean_a water_n upon_o you_o my_o spirit_n ver_fw-la 27._o and_o you_o shall_v be_v clean_a and_o from_o all_o your_o filthiness_n and_o from_o all_o your_o idol_n will_v i_o cleanse_v you_o five_o water_n the_o element_n of_o water_n natural_o descend_v to_o and_o abide_v in_o low_a place_n in_o valley_n and_o place_n which_o be_v undermost_a and_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n be_v of_o that_o nature_n also_o the_o hill_n and_o lofty_a mountain_n have_v not_o the_o river_n run_v over_o the_o top_n of_o they_o no_o though_o they_o may_v run_v among_o 5._o they_o but_o they_o run_v among_o the_o valley_n and_o god_n resist_v the_o proud_a but_o give_v grace_n to_o the_o humble_a to_o the_o lowly_a six_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n be_v compare_v to_o water_n for_o that_o it_o be_v it_o which_o cause_v fruitfulness_n water_n cause_v fruitfulness_n want_v of_o water_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o barrenness_n and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o the_o whole_a world_n be_v so_o empty_a of_o fruit_n to_o god-ward_o even_o because_o so_o few_o of_o the_o child_n of_o man_n have_v the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n in_o their_o heart_n but_o second_o as_o there_o be_v a_o special_a signification_n in_o this_o term_n water_n so_o there_o be_v also_o in_o this_o term_n life_n water_n of_o life_n he_o show_v i_o the_o water_n of_o life_n in_o that_o therefore_o there_o be_v add_v to_o this_o word_n water_n that_o of_o life_n it_o be_v in_o the_o general_n to_o show_v what_o excellent_a virtue_n and_o operation_n there_o be_v in_o this_o water_n it_o be_v aqua_fw-la aquavitae_fw-la water_n of_o life_n or_o water_n that_o have_v a_o health_n and_o life_n in_o it_o and_o this_o term_n show_v we_o first_o that_o the_o world_n of_o graceless_a man_n be_v dead_a dead_a in_o trespass_n 13._o and_o sin_n dead_a that_o be_v without_o life_n and_o motion_n god-ward_o in_o the_o way_n of_o the_o testament_n of_o his_o son._n second_o it_o also_o show_v we_o that_o there_o be_v not_o any_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n or_o in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o world_n the_o law_n that_o can_v make_v they_o live_v life_n be_v only_o in_o this_o water_n death_n be_v in_o all_o other_o thing_n the_o law_n i_o say_v which_o be_v that_o that_o will_v if_o any_o thing_n in_o the_o whole_a world_n give_v life_n unto_o the_o world_n but_o that_o yet_o kill_v condemn_v and_o be_v add_v that_o the_o offence_n may_v abound_v wherefore_o there_o be_v no_o life_n either_o in_o the_o world_n or_o in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o world_n it_o be_v only_o in_o this_o water_n in_o this_o grace_n of_o god_n which_o be_v here_o call_v the_o water_n of_o life_n or_o god_n aqua_fw-la aquavitae_fw-la three_o it_o be_v also_o call_v the_o water_n of_o life_n to_o show_v that_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n man_n may_v live_v how_o dead_a soever_o their_o sin_n have_v make_v they_o when_o god_n will_v say_v to_o a_o sinner_n live_v though_o he_o be_v dead_a in_o his_o sin_n he_o shall_v live_v when_o thou_o be_v in_o thy_o blood_n i_o say_v unto_o thou_o live_v yea_o when_o thou_o 9_o be_v in_o thy_o blood_n i_o say_v live_v and_o again_o the_o dead_a shall_v hear_v the_o voice_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o they_o that_o hear_v 25._o shall_v live_v that_o be_v when_o he_o speak_v word_n of_o grace_n and_o mix_v those_o word_n with_o the_o spirit_n and_o grace_n of_o the_o gospel_n than_o man_n shall_v live_v for_o such_o word_n so_o attend_v and_o such_o word_n only_o be_v spirit_n and_o life_n the_o word_n that_o 63._o i_o speak_v unto_o you_o say_v christ_n they_o be_v spirit_n and_o they_o be_v life_n four_o in_o that_o this_o grace_n of_o god_n be_v here_o present_v unto_o we_o under_o the_o term_n of_o water_n of_o life_n it_o be_v to_o show_v that_o some_o be_v sick_a of_o that_o disease_n that_o nothing_o can_v cure_v but_o that_o there_o be_v many_o disease_n in_o the_o world_n and_o there_o be_v also_o remedy_n for_o those_o disease_n but_o there_o be_v a_o disease_n that_o nothing_o will_v can_v or_o shall_v cure_v but_o a_o dram_n of_o this_o bottle_n a_o draught_n of_o this_o aqua_fw-la aquavitae_fw-la this_o water_n of_o life_n this_o be_v intimate_v by_o the_o invitation_n let_v he_o take_v the_o water_n 17._o of_o life_n free_o and_o again_o i_o will_v give_v to_o he_o that_o be_v a_o thirst_n of_o the_o fountain_n of_o the_o water_n of_o life_n free_o this_o be_v speak_v to_o the_o sick_a to_o they_o that_o be_v sick_a of_o that_o disease_n that_o only_a christ_n as_o a_o physician_n with_o his_o water_n of_o life_n can_v cure_v but_o few_o be_v sick_a of_o this_o disease_n but_o few_o know_v what_o it_o be_v to_o be_v make_v sick_a of_o this_o disease_n there_o be_v nothing_o can_v make_v sick_a of_o this_o disease_n but_o the_o law_n and_o sin_n and_o nothing_o can_v cure_v but_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n by_o the_o gospel_n call_v here_o the_o water_n of_o life_n we_o come_v now_o to_o discourse_n of_o the_o second_o thing_n with_o which_o we_o be_v present_v by_o the_o text_n and_o that_o be_v the_o quantity_n
