he_o 11_o the_o woman_n say_v unto_o he_o sir_n thou_o have_v nothing_o to_o draw_v with_o and_o the_o well_o be_v deep_a from_o whence_o then_o have_v thou_o that_o live_a water_n 12_o art_n thou_o

i_o shall_v give_v he_o shall_v be_v in_o he_o a_o well_o of_o water_n spring_v up_o into_o everlasting_a life_n observe_v here_o 1._o how_o ignorant_a person_n be_v of_o spiritual_a thing_n till_o enlighten_v by_o the_o holy_a spirit_n of_o god_n this_o poor_a woman_n question_n whence_o have_v thou_o that_o live_a water_n look_v much_o like_o that_o of_o nicodemus_n john_n 3.9_o how_o can_v these_o thing_n be_v a_o natural_a person_n can_v perceive_v the_o mind_n of_o christ_n when_o speak_v to_o they_o about_o spiritual_a thing_n spiritual_a object_n must_v have_v a_o spiritual_a eye_n

our_o holy_a lord_n treat_v this_o poor_a woman_n pity_v her_o ignorance_n and_o pardon_v her_o infidelity_n he_o tell_v she_o that_o the_o water_n of_o that_o well_o which_o she_o be_v about_o to_o

be_v able_a full_o and_o perfect_o to_o quench_v this_o thirst_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o where_o it_o be_v once_o save_o receive_v shall_v never_o be_v total_o or_o final_o lose_v it_o shall_v be_v

end_n observe_v 1._o what_o manner_n of_o person_n this_o woman_n be_v beside_o that_o she_o be_v a_o idolater_n as_o be_v a_o samaritan_n she_o be_v also_o a_o adulteress_n and_o live_v now_o in_o the_o sin_n of_o uncleanness_n with_o one_o that_o be_v not_o her_o husband_n after_o she_o have_v have_v five_o husband_n before_o whence_o we_o learn_v that_o the_o ice_n of_o old_a age_n will_v not_o quench_v the_o fire_n of_o lust_n concupiscentia_fw-la non_fw-la senescit_fw-la such_o be_v the_o pollulution_n of_o our_o nature_n that_o lust_n will_v be_v insatiable_a if_o grace_n do_v not_o restrain_v it_o this_o woman_n after_o five_o marriage_n yet_o live_v in_o the_o sin_n of_o uncleanness_n observe_v 2._o the_o way_n and_o manner_n our_o lord_n take_v the_o method_n and_o mean_v our_o lord_n use_v in_o order_n to_o her_o conversion_n 1._o he_o deal_v very_o tender_o and_o gentle_o with_o she_o he_o use_v no_o roughness_n or_o tartness_n of_o speech_n with_o she_o he_o do_v not_o call_v her_o whore_n nor_o upbraid_v she_o for_o her_o impudent_a lewdness_n in_o live_v with_o a_o man_n that_o be_v none_o of_o her_o husband_n but_o only_o give_v she_o to_o understand_v that_o he_o know_v the_o sin_n she_o live_v in_o yet_o this_o he_o do_v likewise_o with_o all_o imaginable_a privacy_n whilst_o his_o disciple_n be_v away_o and_o no_o body_n by_o but_o they_o two_o only_o hence_o learn_v 1._o that_o private_a sin_n be_v not_o to_o be_v reprove_v public_o 2._o that_o in_o reprove_v sin_n all_o sharpness_n and_o bitterness_n of_o expression_n must_v be_v avoid_v the_o pill_n of_o reproof_n must_v be_v rap_v up_o in_o sugar_n for_o if_o they_o to_o who_o it_o be_v give_v taste_v the_o bitterness_n of_o gall_n and_o passion_n mix_v with_o it_o they_o will_v certain_o spit_v it_o out_o before_o it_o may_v be_v upon_o our_o face_n our_o lord_n practcie_n here_o instruct_v we_o that_o sin_n be_v to_o be_v so_o reprove_v as_o that_o the_o credit_n and_o estimation_n of_o the_o sinner_n may_v be_v preserve_v as_o much_o as_o may_v be_v note_v 2._o that_o as_o christ_n deal_v with_o this_o woman_n tender_o and_o gentle_o so_o he_o discover_v her_o sin_n to_o she_o particular_o and_o set_v her_o secret_a sin_n before_o the_o face_n of_o her_o conscience_n distinct_o if_o ever_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n work_v upon_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n to_o their_o conversion_n it_o must_v be_v by_o a_o particular_a and_o close_a application_n of_o the_o word_n to_o every_o man_n conscience_n general_n will_v not_o affect_v note_v 3._o what_o the_o particular_a sin_n be_v which_o christ_n charge_v home_o upon_o the_o conscience_n of_o this_o woman_n it_o be_v the_o sin_n of_o uncleanness_n that_o the_o man_n she_o keep_v with_o be_v not_o her_o husband_n learn_v thence_o that_o among_o all_o sin_n the_o sin_n of_o uncleanness_n will_v lie_v heavy_a upon_o the_o conscience_n and_o wound_v the_o soul_n most_o deep_o when_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n once_o effectual_o discover_v it_o and_o charge_v it_o home_o upon_o the_o conscience_n for_o there_o be_v no_o sin_n so_o direct_o opposite_a to_o sanctification_n and_o holiness_n as_o this_o sin_n no_o sin_n that_o quench_v the_o holy_a spirit_n of_o god_n like_o this_o sin_n 19_o the_o woman_n say_v unto_o he_o sir_n i_o perceive_v that_o thou_o be_v a_o prophet_n 20_o our_o

he_o here_o we_o have_v our_o saviour_n answer_n to_o the_o forego_n question_n which_o consist_v of_o two_o part_n 1._o concern_v the_o place_n of_o worship_n 2._o concern_v the_o worship_n itself_o as_o to_o the_o place_n of_o worship_n our_o saviour_n tell_v she_o that_o though_o the_o jew_n have_v heretofore_o by_o warrant_n of_o god_n word_n regular_o worship_v at_o jerusalem_n and_o the_o samaritan_n superstitious_o worship_v at_o mount_n gerizim_n yet_o the_o hour_n be_v come_v namely_o at_o his_o death_n when_o all_o difference_n of_o place_n for_o god_n worship_n shall_v be_v take_v away_o and_o therefore_o she_o need_v not_o trouble_v herself_o about_o the_o place_n of_o god_n worship_n to_o know_v whether_o of_o the_o two_o place_n be_v holy_a and_o the_o better_a to_o serve_v god_n in_o for_o ere_o long_o the_o service_n of_o god_n shall_v not_o be_v confine_v more_o to_o one_o place_n than_o another_o hence_o learn_v that_o since_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n the_o religious_a difference_n of_o place_n be_v take_v away_o and_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n not_o confine_v to_o any_o one_o particular_a place_n or_o nation_n 2._o our_o bless_a saviour_n resolve_v she_o concern_v the_o worship_n itself_o namely_o that_o the_o ceremonial_a worship_n which_o the_o jew_n and_o samaritan_n use_v shall_v short_o be_v abolish_v and_o instead_o thereof_o a_o more_o spiritual_a form_n of_o worship_n shall_v be_v establish_v more_o suitable_a to_o the_o spiritual_a nature_n of_o the_o great_a and_o holy_a god_n and_o contain_v in_o it_o the_o truth_n and_o substance_n of_o all_o that_o which_o the_o jewish_a ceremony_n prefigure_v and_o shadow_v forth_o learn_v hence_o that_o the_o true_a worship_n of_o god_n under_o the_o gospel_n do_v not_o consist_v in_o the_o external_a pomp_n of_o any_o outward_a ceremony_n but_o be_v spiritual_a and_o substantial_a no_o worship_n be_v acceptable_a to_o he_o that_o be_v the_o father_n of_o spirit_n but_o that_o which_o be_v true_o spiritual_a 24_o god_n be_v a_o spirit_n and_o they_o that_o worship_v he_o must_v worship_v he_o in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n god_n be_v a_o spirit_n that_o be_v he_o have_v no_o body_n nor_o bodily_a part_n he_o be_v not_o a_o bare_a spiritual_a substance_n but_o a_o pure_a and_o perfect_a spirit_n and_o therefore_o his_o worshipper_n must_v worship_v he_o in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n where_o spirit_n be_v oppose_v to_o the_o legal_a ceremony_n and_o truth_n to_o the_o jewish_a rite_n not_o to_o hypocritical_a service_n for_o the_o old_a patriarch_n do_v worship_n god_n in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n as_o truth_n be_v take_v for_o sincerity_n they_o serve_v he_o with_o a_o sincere_a conscience_n and_o with_o a_o single_a heart_n but_o our_o saviour_n business_n be_v to_o show_v that_o a_o worship_n without_o legal_a rite_n and_o jewish_a ceremony_n be_v proper_a to_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o the_o word_n observe_v 1._o the_o nature_n of_o god_n declare_v god_n be_v a_o spirit_n 2._o the_o duty_n of_o man_n infer_v therefore_o they_o that_o worship_v he_o must_v worship_v he_o in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n from_o the_o whole_a note_n 1._o that_o god_n be_v a_o pure_a spiritual_n be_v when_o bodily_a part_n hand_n and_o eye_n etc._n etc._n be_v ascribe_v to_o he_o it_o be_v only_o in_o condescension_n to_o our_o weakness_n and_o to_o signify_v those_o act_n in_o god_n which_o such_o member_n do_v perform_v in_o we_o note_v 2._o that_o the_o worship_n due_a from_o the_o creature_n to_o god_n be_v spiritual_a worship_n and_o aught_o to_o be_v spiritual_o perform_v the_o jewish_a ceremonial_a worship_n be_v abolish_v to_o promote_v the_o spirituality_n of_o divine_a worship_n yet_o must_v not_o this_o be_v so_o understand_v as_o if_o god_n reject_v bodily_a worship_n because_o he_o require_v spiritual_a under_o the_o gopsel_n for_o jesus_n christ_n the_o most_o spiritual_a worshipper_n worship_v god_n with_o his_o body_n beside_o god_n have_v appoint_v some_o part_n of_o worship_n which_o can_v be_v perform_v without_o the_o body_n as_o sacrament_n in_o a_o word_n god_n have_v create_v the_o body_n as_o well_o as_o the_o soul_n christ_n have_v redeem_v the_o body_n as_o well_o as_o the_o soul_n and_o he_o will_v glorify_v the_o body_n as_o well_o as_o the_o soul_n therefore_o it_o be_v our_o

unto_o you_o observe_v last_o how_o free_o and_o full_o christ_n reveal_v himself_o to_o this_o poor_a woman_n he_o tell_v she_o plain_o that_o he_o be_v the_o messiah_n when_o the_o jew_n ask_v he_o
