Fourthly, In that this Grace of God is here presented unto us under the Terms of Water of Life, it is to show, that some are sick of that Disease, that nothing can cure but that. There are many Diseases in the World, and there are also Remedies for those Diseases; but there is a Disease that nothing will, can, or shall cure, but a Dram of this Bottle, a Draught of this aqua vitae, this Water of Life. This is intimated by the invitation; let him take the Water 1of Life freely. And again, I will give to him that is a thirst of the Fountain of the Water of Life freely. This is spoken to the Sick, to them that are sick of that Disease that only Christ as a Physician with his Water of Life, can cure.
