First, You read here, That this Water of Life is PURE, that is, alone without mixture, for so sometimes that word [PURE] is to be understood. As where it saith pure, pure 1Oil Olive; pure Frankincense; pure Gold; pure Blood of the Grape, and the like: so then, when he saith, he showed me a pure River of Water of ⟨p. 79⟩Life, it is as if he had said, he showed me a River of Water, that was all living, all life; and that had nothing in it but life. There was no death, or deadness, or flatness in it: Or as he saith, a little after, And there shall be no more Curse. A pure River. There is not so much as a grudge, or a piece of an a upbraiding speech found therein. There is in it nothing, but heart, nothing but love, nothing but grace, nothing but life. Th• Gifts and Calling of God are without 2repentance.
