Further, As it is called Water, so it is called the Water OF LIFE, and that upon a diverse account.
First, Because it is that which recovereth the soul that drinketh thereof, from the Death of Sin and the Curse of God, to a principle of Life and heavenly Blessing. And it shall come to pass that everyone that liveth, that moveth whithersoever the waters shall come, shall live. Ezek. 47. 9.
Secondly, It is called the Water of Life; because, that from it comes all those heavenly and spiritual quicknings and revivings, that (like Aqua-vitae) do fetch again, and cheer up the soul that was sinking, and giving up the Ghost in this world. There is a River, the streams whereof make glad the City of God, Psal. 46. 4.
