I find I am one that is very thirsty after Jesus Christ,1 and the grace of Christ; and I thirst to have his image more and more stamped upon me; and I would fain be assured by Gods Spirit, that I am transplanted into Christ, and therefore I long, and endeavour after a true and lively Faith, because that Grace is a soul-transplanting and uniting grace. Now Christ hath promised to satisfy the thirsty, Matth. 5. 6. and such Christ hath earnestly invited to come, though they have ⟨p. 249⟩nothing to bring but what may make against themselves, yet to come empty, and he hath promised to fill them, Isa. 55. 1, 2.
