The text you see contains a glorious and magnificent description of Christ; He is altogether lovely. Behold here a spring full of the water of life, and whosoever brings his vessel hither, a heart fit to receive this water, may be refreshed, as the woman of Samaria coming to Jacobs Well, for Christ is here. The text is a sacred Cabinet which contains in it, first the Jewel, Christ, in this word He; secondly, the Price of this Jewel, altogether lovely.
