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

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

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

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

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

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
