Matthew Poole and continuators on John 4:14

14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him , shall never thirst : but the water that I shall give him, shall be in him a well of water, springing up into everlasting life .

But he who receiveth the holy Spirit, and the Grace thereof, though he will be daily saying, Give, give, and be continually desiring further supplies of Grace, yet he shall never wholly want, never want any good thing that shall be necessary for him, the [illegible: 1 letter]eed of God shall abide in him

and this Water shall be in him a spring of Water, supplying him until he come to Heaven. But this Text was excellently expounded by our Saviour, ch. 7.38, 39. He that believeth on me (as the Scripture hath said) out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water, v. 39. But this speaketh he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him, should receive. From which it is plain, that our Saviour here by the living water he speaketh of, understood the holy Spirit.
