The Fountain of Life Opened

Sink him to the bottom, let him go like Jonah his Type into the belly of Hell, unto the roots of the Mountains. Come all ye raging storms that I have reserved for this day of wrath, beat upon him; beat him down that he may not be able to look up. Psal. 40.12. Go Justice put him upon the rack; torment him in every part, till all his bones be out of joint; and his heart within him be melted as wax, in the midst of his bowels. Psal. 22.14. And ye assembly of the wicked, Jews and Gentiles that have so long gaped for his blood, now he is delivered into your hands; you are now permitted to execute your malice to the full. I now loose your chain, and into your hand and power is he delivered. (4.) Gods giving of Christ implies his application of him, with all the purchases of his blood; and settling all this upon us, as an inheritance, and portion. Joh. 6.32, 33. My Father giveth you the true bread, from heaven, for the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven; and giveth life unto the world. God hath given him as bread to poor starving creatures, that by faith they might eat, and live. And so he told the Samaritaness, Joh. 4 10. If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith unto thee give me to drink; thou wouldst have asked of him, and he would have given thee living waters. Bread and water are the two necessaries for the support of natural life, God hath ⟨p. 42⟩given Christ you see to be all that, and more, to the spiritual Life.

Sink him to the bottom, let him go like Ionah his Type into the belly of Hell, unto the roots of the Mountains. Come all ye raging storms that I have reserved for this day of wrath, beat upon him; beat him down that he may not be able to look up. Psal. 40.12. Go Justice put him upon the rack; torment him in every part, till all his bones be out of joynt; and his heart within him be melted as wax, in the midst of his bowels. Psal. 22.14
