Matthew Poole and continuators on John 4:13

13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water, shall thirst again .

Our Saviour in his Reply justifieth the excellency of that living water, which he had before declared to be in his power to give, and his readiness to have given to this woman, if she had asked it of him, from the perishing virtue of the Water of this Well; and the continuing virtue of his Grace, which he compared to this Living Water: No man so asswaged his Thirst by drinking of the Water of Iacobs Well, but he was subject to thirst again.
