The good also which the Son of God, Jesus Christ our Saviour doth for us, he doth most freely upon his own love, without any desert of ours: in this respect it is said that he hath loved us, 1and hath given himself for us. The conjunction of these two, love, and giving, ⟨p. 278⟩plainly prove the freeness of the gift. But further he expressly saith concerning the freeness of his gift,2 I will give unto him that is athirst, of the fountain of the water of life freely. And again, Whosoever will, let him take of the water of life freely.3
