1. What a River this is; this River of Water of Life.

A River of Water of Life, is much; but a deep River, is more. Why, soul-sick Sinner, sin-sick Sinner, thou that art sick of that Disease that nothing can cure but a Potion of this River of the Water of Life: here is a River for thee, a deep River for thee. Those that at first are coming to God by Christ for Life are of nothing so inquisitive, as of, Whether there is Grace enough in him to save them. But for their comfort, here is abundance, abundance of Grace: a River, a deep River of the Water of Life for them to drink of.
