Thirdly, The bottom of all is, as I said, that we might be saved, saved by Grace, and I will add, through the Redemption that is in Christ. This is still better and better. We read that when Israel come-over Jordan, the ⟨p. 103⟩1feet of the Priests that did bear the Ark, stood on firm ground in the bottom, and that they set up great stones for a memorial thereof. But 2had Jordan so good a bottom, as has this most blessed River of Water of Life, or were the Stones that Israel took out thence, like this tried 3Stone, this sure Foundation? O the Throne! this River comes out of the Throne, and we are saved by Grace through the redemption that is in him. We read that there is a City 4that has Foundations, Grace is one, Christ another, and the truth of all the Prophets and Apostles, as to their true Doctrine another, &c. and again, all these are the very bottom 5of this goodly River of the Water of Life.
