yet_o if_o we_o have_v not_o real_o come_v to_o christ_n we_o fall_v short_a of_o what_o we_o may_v have_v expect_v to_o have_v meet_v with_o i_o think_v to_o have_v press_v the_o invitation_n on_o poor_a soul_n that_o they_o may_v come_v and_o drink_v of_o the_o water_n of_o life_n but_o the_o time_n be_v past_a thirsty_n sinner_n invite_v to_o christ_n sermon_n ix_o john_n 7.37_o in_o the_o last_o day_n that_o great_a day_n of_o the_o feast_n jesus_n stand_v and_o cry_v say_v if_o any_o man_n thirst_n let_v he_o come_v unto_o i_o and_o drink_n the_o point_n or_o truth_n that_o be_v before_o we_o from_o these_o word_n be_v this_o namely_o that_o such_o as_o be_v thirsty_a and_o come_v unto_o jesus_n christ_n shall_v certain_o have_v a_o full_a and_o free_a supply_n or_o as_o you_o may_v take_v it_o in_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n if_o any_o man_n be_v a_o thirst_n let_v he_o come_v to_o jesus_n christ_n and_o drink_n this_o jesus_n christ_n do_v speak_v and_o cry_v it_o in_o the_o hear_n of_o many_o thousand_o say_v if_o any_o man_n thirst_n let_v he_o come_v unto_o i_o and_o drink_n you_o have_v hear_v what_o it_o be_v to_o thirst_n and_o what_o this_o thirst_n be_v it_o be_v a_o thirst_n of_o the_o soul_n which_o jesus_n christ_n here_o speak_v of_o if_o any_o man_n thirst_n it_o imply_v these_o three_o thing_n 1._o there_o be_v a_o sense_n even_o a_o afflictive_a sense_n of_o something_o that_o it_o see_v a_o necessity_n of_o as_o it_o be_v with_o the_o thirst_n of_o the_o body_n if_o one_o be_v true_o thirsty_a he_o do_v not_o only_o want_v water_n or_o want_v drink_v or_o moisture_n but_o be_v sensible_a of_o it_o and_o be_v afflict_v with_o the_o sense_n of_o it_o so_o now_o this_o same_o thirsty_a soul_n it_o have_v a_o sense_n of_o spiritual_a want_n and_o be_v afflict_v with_o the_o sense_n of_o it_o you_o may_v see_v david_n cry_v out_o say_v i_o be_o in_o a_o place_n where_o no_o water_n be_v and_o psal_n 63._o my_o soul_n thirst_v for_o god_n and_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n say_v the_o needy_a seek_v water_n and_o their_o tongue_n fail_v for_o thirst_n there_o be_v a_o afflictive_a sense_n upon_o the_o soul_n from_o the_o want_n of_o some_o spiritual_a good_a 2._o there_o be_v not_o only_o a_o sense_n of_o want_n but_o there_o be_v also_o a_o ardent_a and_o vehement_a desire_n of_o a_o supply_n and_o 3._o the_o soul_n be_v not_o only_a lodging_n and_o desire_v but_o be_v unsatisfied_a with_o any_o thing_n short_a of_o that_o it_o desire_n several_a other_o particular_n be_v insist_v upon_o and_o i_o come_v to_o a_o three_o which_o now_o i_o shall_v desire_v to_o speak_v to_o through_o the_o lord_n assistance_n viz._n that_o such_o as_o do_v come_v to_o christ_n shall_v have_v a_o full_a supply_n every_o soul_n that_o do_v come_v to_o christ_n shall_v be_v fill_v he_o that_o come_v to_o i_o shall_v not_o only_o have_v a_o taste_n but_o shall_v have_v a_o full_a supply_n let_v he_o come_v unto_o i_o and_o drink_n he_o shall_v not_o only_o have_v a_o full_a suyply_n but_o a_o free_a supply_n christ_n do_v not_o require_v any_o thing_n at_o all_o whosoever_o he_o be_v that_o come_v unto_o i_o he_o shall_v drink_v he_o shall_v be_v free_o supply_v rev._n 22.17_o let_v he_o that_o be_v a_o thirst_n come_v and_o whosoever_o will_v let_v he_o come_v and_o take_v of_o the_o water_n of_o life_n free_o and_o isa_n 55.1_o ho_o every_o one_o that_o be_v a_o thirst_n come_v you_o to_o the_o water_n he_o shall_v be_v make_v to_o drink_v and_o be_v supply_v with_o all_o spiritual_a heavenly_a and_o eternal_a blessing_n jesus_n christ_n he_o be_v a_o full_a supply_n and_o though_o we_o may_v have_v a_o notion_n that_o in_o jesus_n christ_n there_o be_v a_o full_a supply_n yet_o we_o have_v a_o principle_n and_o notion_n in_o we_o that_o we_o have_v some_o supply_n in_o ourselves_o a_o popish_a principle_n christ_n may_v supply_v we_o in_o part_n but_o some_o from_o ourselves_o and_o therefore_o we_o have_v a_o notion_n as_o if_o we_o shall_v go_v unto_o christ_n with_o money_n in_o our_o hand_n to_o buy_v it_o of_o he_o therefore_o a_o little_a to_o clear_v these_o thing_n viz._n to_o demonstrate_v 1._o that_o jesus_n christ_n will_v certain_o give_v a_o full_a supply_n 2._o that_o there_o be_v a_o full_a supply_n that_o christ_n will_v give_v out_o not_o a_o part_n only_o

1._o the_o first_o demonstration_n be_v take_v from_o the_o incomprehensible_a fullness_n that_o be_v in_o jesus_n christ_n he_o be_v a_o full_a fountain_n not_o as_o a_o pail_n or_o a_o bucket_n draw_v from_o a_o well_o but_o he_o be_v a_o full_a fountain_n now_o from_o out_o of_o a_o fountain_n ●here_o be_v a_o full_a supply_n to_o be_v have_v a_o man_n may_v drink_v as_o much_o as_o ever_o he_o will_v as_o much_o as_o ever_o he_o can_v hold_v now_o christ_n be_v a_o full_a fountain_n see_v what_o be_v say_v concern_v christ_n zech._n 13.1_o in_o that_o day_n there_o shall_v be_v a_o

that_o in_o he_o all_o fullness_n shall_v dwell_v even_o all_o fullness_n now_o if_o christ_n be_v a_o fountain_n a_o full_a fountain_n there_o be_v fullness_n of_o supply_n to_o be_v have_v in_o he_o now_o all_o fullness_n of_o blessing_n be_v in_o jesus_n christ_n he_o be_v a_o fountain_n of_o all_o spiritual_a thing_n that_o be_v needful_a for_o the_o salvation_n of_o a_o poor_a soul_n and_o there_o be_v a_o fullness_n of_o spirit_n in_o christ_n john_n 3.34_o for_o god_n give_v not_o the_o spirit_n by_o measure_n to_o he_o and_o so_o coloss_n 2.9_o it_o be_v say_v it_o please_v the_o

that_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n from_o heaven_n have_v be_v upon_o their_o labour_n and_o i_o pray_v let_v i_o appeal_v to_o yourselves_o be_v it_o not_o matter_n of_o comfort_n joy_n and_o rejoice_v to_o you_o that_o you_o find_v your_o labour_n and_o endeavour_n to_o have_v any_o success_n to_o be_v bless_v of_o god_n as_o now_o take_v a_o nurse_n that_o bring_v up_o a_o child_n and_o

to_o you_o to_o go_v into_o your_o garden_n and_o see_v the_o seed_n that_o you_o have_v sow_o flourish_n and_o come_v up_o it_o be_v rejoice_v to_o you_o and_o much_o more_o be_v it_o to_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o faithful_a servant_n of_o christ_n that_o their_o labour_n in_o the_o ministry_n be_v bless_v and_o make_v fruitful_a and_o successful_a because_o now_o here_o be_v the_o more_o

there_o be_v instrumental_a mean_n and_o cause_n of_o its_o grow_a there_o be_v dew_n and_o shower_n and_o rain_n from_o heaven_n there_o be_v the_o influence_n of_o the_o sun_n the_o fatness_n of_o the_o soil_n that_o concur_v to_o cause_v it_o grow_v but_o now_o there_o be_v much_o against_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n to_o work_v upon_o the_o heart_n there_o be_v the_o corruption_n of_o the_o heart_n and_o the_o temptation_n of_o satan_n and_o the_o world_n and_o all_o to_o hinder_v the_o gospel_n from_o take_v effect_n but_o now_o when_o the_o lord_n make_v the_o gospel_n to_o take_v effect_n to_o become_v efficacious_a to_o the_o conversion_n of_o soul_n of_o poor_a creature_n here_o be_v now_o the_o blessing_n of_o heaven_n upon_o his_o labour_n and_o now_o he_o have_v cause_n to_o rejoice_v great_o that_o god_n be_v with_o he_o and_o have_v bless_v his_o labour_n and_o now_o god_n do_v own_v he_o as_o a_o fellow-labourer_n together_o with_o himself_o we_o be_v

it_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o great_a joy_n and_o consolation_n because_o now_o here_o be_v a_o testimony_n that_o jesus_n christ_n in_o heaven_n and_o in_o his_o glory_n be_v mindful_a of_o his_o poor_a servant_n here_o below_o in_o the_o world_n he_o do_v mind_n and_o remember_v such_o a_o poor_a servant_n of_o he_o that_o labour_n in_o his_o name_n and_o do_v send_v down_o the_o spirit_n to_o accompany_v he_o in_o his_o labour_n as_o christ_n say_v here_o to_o his_o disciple_n i_o will_v send_v the_o comforter_n and_o he_o shall_v assist_v you_o and_o i_o will_v remember_v you_o when_o i_o be_o in_o heaven_n i_o will_v not_o forget_v you_o thus_o christ_n now_o send_v down_o the_o comforter_n the_o spirit_n from_o heaven_n to_o assist_v such_o a_o poor_a minister_n in_o his_o
