2. God hath made many gracious promises, not only to the acting and exercising of grace, but to the desires after grace. Blessed are they that do hunger and thirst after Righteousness: 1for they shall be filled.—If any man thirst (saith Christ) let him come unto me and drink; 2nay there is a general and universal invitation to every one that thirsteth, to come to the waters; and God hath promised to give to him that is at hirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. 3The Lord hath promised to fulfil the desire of those that fear him, 4and will hear the desire of the humble. 5So that by these promises it doth appear,6 that hungering and thirsting, & desires after grace, are graces in Gods account and acceptation.
