Whosoever will, let him take of the water of life. Dost thou thirst after Christ? then read Isaiah 55.1, […] John 7.37. If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink.

It is no presumption to believe pardon of sins now thou art come unto me, not only for the healing of thy body, but especially for pardon of sin. It is the great sin of many Saints, when they do thirst, and believe, and come to Christ, and so are under the promise of grace; yet they think it presumption now to believe and take possession of all those treasures that be in Christ, but look that the Lord should first make them ⟨p. 170⟩feel, and then they will believe; whereas faith should now receive and drink in abundantly of the fullness of Christ: shall it be accounted presumption for any man to eat his own bread, and drink his own drink, and put on his own clothes? the promise makes Christ and all his benefits your own, therefore it is no presumption to apply them.
