spirit_n come_v it_o be_v a_o lively_a grace_n and_o a_o quicken_a spirit_n it_o beget_v life_n in_o the_o soul_n of_o a_o man_n in_o the_o 47_o of_o ezech._n vers_fw-la 9_o the_o prophet_n there_o discover_v the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o offer_n of_o salvation_n therein_o he_o say_v there_o every_o thing_n shall_v live_v whithersoever_o this_o river_n come_v the_o river_n there_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o river_n of_o grace_n and_o salvation_n when_o christ_n shall_v come_v abundance_n of_o grace_n shall_v be_v offer_v and_o wrought_v in_o the_o soul_n of_o god_n people_n and_o wheresoever_o this_o grace_n come_v those_o that_o be_v dead_a shall_v be_v quicken_v second_o they_o be_v say_v to_o be_v water_n of_o life_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o continuance_n of_o they_o for_o wheresoever_o this_o grace_n be_v true_o wrought_v it_o never_o cease_v so_o say_v our_o saviour_n joh._n 4.14_o whosoever_o drink_v of_o the_o water_n that_o i_o shall_v give_v he_o shall_v never_o thirst_v this_o water_n be_v not_o like_o a_o pit_n or_o stand_a pool_n that_o in_o the_o heat_n of_o summer_n be_v dry_v up_o but_o it_o run_v amain_o continual_o so_o that_o the_o frame_n of_o the_o word_n run_v thus_o whosoever_o will_v let_v he_o come_v and_o take_v live_a water_n live_v and_o quicken_a grace_n from_o jesus_n christ_n free_o whereby_o a_o soul_n may_v be_v quicken_v and_o save_v here_o be_v a_o proclamation_n whoever_o will_v let_v he_o come_v and_o take_v the_o lord_n christ_n and_o grace_n and_o salvation_n by_o he_o free_o he_o will_v not_o repine_v at_o the_o favour_n he_o vouchsafe_v unto_o we_o take_v more_o hope_n more_o faith_n more_o sanctification_n come_v and_o come_v free_o and_o the_o more_o often_o you_o come_v the_o more_o welcome_a shall_v you_o be_v this_o be_v the_o substance_n of_o the_o word_n in_o the_o text_n wherein_o we_o have_v these_o three_o point_n former_o speak_v of_o first_o here_o we_o have_v the_o freeness_n of_o god_n mercy_n whoever_o will_v let_v he_o take_v of_o the_o water_n of_o life_n free_o as_o who_o shall_v say_v shall_v any_o man_n bring_v money_n with_o he_o and_o buy_v grace_n no_o no_o let_v he_o take_v the_o spirit_n free_o second_o a_o man_n must_v will_n christ_n before_o he_o can_v receive_v christ_n and_o grace_n from_o he_o and_o this_o be_v the_o second_o thing_n in_o the_o text_n the_o three_o be_v that_o every_o man_n that_o do_v true_o will_v christ_n and_o grace_n shall_v have_v christ_n and_o grace_n from_o he_o man_n think_v that_o they_o will_v be_v save_v every_o man_n will_v be_v ready_a to_o say_v i_o will_v have_v christ_n rule_v in_o i_o but_o this_o same_o willing_a of_o christ_n be_v a_o hard_a matter_n whosoever_o do_v will_v hearty_o to_o receive_v christ_n shall_v have_v he_o and_o salvation_n by_o he_o but_o we_o shall_v find_v it_o a_o hard_a matter_n to_o bring_v our_o heart_n to_o this_o willing_a of_o christ_n as_o we_o shall_v here_o hereafter_o and_o thus_o we_o see_v the_o three_o point_n that_o arise_v out_o of_o the_o text_n and_o by_o this_o time_n we_o be_v enter_v into_o our_o work_n let_v we_o proceed_v with_o the_o pursuit_n of_o the_o first_o point_n which_o be_v this_o the_o offer_n of_o grace_n from_o god_n be_v altogether_o free_a there_o be_v nothing_o but_o only_a god_n will_n that_o move_v he_o nothing_o but_o his_o own_o good_a pleasure_n that_o persuade_v he_o to_o show_v mercy_n to_o a_o poor_a soul_n there_o be_v nothing_o out_o of_o god_n that_o can_v move_v he_o or_o purchase_v this_o favour_n from_o he_o but_o it_o be_v from_o out_o of_o the_o goodness_n of_o his_o nature_n and_o the_o freeness_n of_o his_o will_n he_o will_v have_v it_o so_o in_o the_o 21_o of_o the_o revel_n 6._o there_o be_v a_o marvellous_a pregnant_a place_n for_o this_o purpose_n there_o say_v the_o text_n i_o will_v give_v unto_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 there_o be_v three_o thing_n or_o phrase_n considerable_a first_o god_n will_v give_v he_o to_o drink_v and_o what_o be_v free_a than_o gift_n nay_o that_o we_o may_v know_v that_o he_o will_v not_o give_v it_o we_o upon_o any_o consideration_n he_o will_v give_v it_o free_o nay_o mark_v further_o he_o will_v give_v it_o to_o every_o one_o that_o thirst_v though_o a_o man_n desire_v it_o earnest_o even_o as_o a_o man_n that_o be_v a_o thirst_n desire_v drink_v though_o he_o do_v what_o he_o can_v to_o obtain_v it_o though_o he_o use_v all_o mean_n for_o the_o procure_n of_o it_o yet_o god_n will_v give_v it_o he_o and_o that_o free_o and_o this_o cut_v the_o throat_n of_o merit-monger_n the_o papist_n that_o stand_v so_o much_o upon_o their_o merit_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v observable_a in_o the_o 4._o of_o zach._n 7.9_o in_o the_o build_n of_o the_o material_a temple_n the_o text_n say_v that_o zerubbabels_n hand_n which_o have_v lay_v the_o foundation_n thereof_o shall_v finish_v it_o the_o same_o hand_n which_o lay_v the_o first_o stone_n so_o the_o same_o hand_n shall_v lay_v the_o last_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o place_n be_v this_o when_o the_o poor_a people_n of_o israel_n be_v to_o build_v the_o temple_n in_o time_n of_o persecution_n they_o have_v no_o ability_n of_o themselves_o to_o do_v it_o yet_o the_o lord_n bid_v they_o go_v on_o cheerful_o for_o i_o will_v dispose_v of_o all_o thing_n for_o the_o gold_n and_o silver_n be_v i_o and_o hereby_o the_o lord_n do_v quip_n at_o a_o secret_a conceit_n of_o they_o they_o may_v think_v with_o themselves_o alas_o we_o have_v no_o gold_n we_o have_v no_o silver_n how_o shall_v we_o bring_v this_o work_n to_o pass_v the_o lord_n he_o answer_v this_o secret_a objection_n of_o they_o and_o tell_v they_o the_o gold_n be_v i_o the_o silver_n be_v i_o the_o hand_n of_o zeru●babell_n that_o have_v lay_v the_o first_o stone_n shall_v bring_v forth_o the_o headstone_n thereof_o and_o what_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o all_o this_o the_o reason_n be_v render_v in_o the_o 7._o vers_fw-la all_o the_o people_n shall_v cry_v grace_n grace_n as_o if_o they_o have_v say_v grace_n have_v
