Answer 3.
You will say, The Saints have not a full draught and full supply, because they complain, I answer, that though here they be in a state of imperfection, and stand in need of a daily supply, (being sensible of their own defects and weaknesses) Yet every believing soul hath drunk so much of the water of life, as now he hath right and title unto the Inheri∣tance of Glory, where there is such fulness of joy, as he shall be satisfied, and shall not be able to desire any more, Psal. 16.11. Thou wilt shew me the path of life, in thy presence is fulness of Joy, and at thy right hand are pleasures for evermore. They shall have joy as much as they can hold, every vessel shall be filled with glory so full as it can hold no more, they shall enjoy as much as e∣ver they are able to hold or containe, every vessel shall be full of glory. The beginnings of eternal life are here, and though possibly they may be made to drink tears here in abundance, yet notwithstand∣ing they have the beginnings of eternal life and glory, and when they come once to enjoy the con∣summation of it, they shall not be able to desire one draught, one jot more, so, He that believeth on me, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living wa∣ter, springing up unto eternal life. So much for that Objection. Now for the Application of the Point.
