Matthew Poole and continuators on John 4:10

10 Jesus answered, and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God , and who it is that saith unto thee, Give me to drink, thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water .

Many by the gift of God here understand Christ, whom God gave to the World, Chap. 3.16. And who is the greatest Gift that God ever gave to the World; so as the latter words, and who it is, &c. expound the former

Thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee either a true knowledge of the Doctrine, or the Grace tendered in the Gospel, or the holy Spirit, called water, because it washeth and cleanseth the Soul; and living water, because it is always running and flowing.
