And Grammarians derive those vocables of immortality. But our S. John here reasoning more elegantly & better of these matters, sayeth, how the Angel showed him a river, which he commendeth unto him by such properties, as water is wont to be commended: of the pureness, brightness, and clearness. He addeth a parable, which giveth light to that he hath said, and sayeth, clear as a crystal. After he addeth, that this river is the river of the water of life, to wit lively water, which preserveth the drinkers thereof in life. Finally he showeth also the original or spring head of this river, deriving the same from the seat of God, of the which seat or Throne I have spoken in the .4. and .5. chapter of this book. And by all these things is signified nothing else, but that life proceedeth of God alone, which he giveth to them that serve him in that blessed country pure, clear, bright, most tried and most perfect, and altogether divine. Touching the lively springs and fountains of waters, we have touched some what in the end of the .7. chapt. of this book. Mark again, that God & the lamb are so joined together again, that no man unless he be mad, will deny the son to be of the same substance with the father.
And Grammarians deriue those vocables of immortalitie. But our S. Iohn here reasonyng more elegantly & better of these matters, sayeth, how the Aungel shewed him a riuer, which he commendeth vnto him by such properties, as water is wonte to be cōmended: of the purenes, brightnes, and clearenes. He addeth a parable, whiche geueth light to that he hath sayde, and sayeth, cleare as a christal. After he addeth, that this riuer is the riuer of the water of life, to witte liuely water, which preserueth the drinkers therof in life. Finally he sheweth also the originall or springe head of this riuer, deriuyng the same from the seate of God, of the whiche seate or Trone I haue spoken in the .4. and .5. chapter of this booke. And by all these thinges is signified nothing els, but that life procedeth of God alone, which he geueth to thē that serue him in that blessed countrie pure, cleare, bright, moste tried and most perfit, and altogether diuine. Touchyng the liuely springes and fountaynes of waters, we haue touched some what in the ende of the .7. chapt. of this boke. Marke againe, that God & the lambe are so ioyned together againe, that no man vnlesse he be madde, wil denie the sonne to be of the same substaunce with the father.
