17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.



Ver. 17. And the Spirit and the Bride] i.e. The Bride sanctified and set to work by the Spirit, Rom_8:26.



And let him that heareth say, Come] Abrupt sentences, full of holy affection; q.d. Let him pray daily, Thy kingdom come.



" Heu pietas ubi prisca! profana o tempera! mundi



Faex! vesper! prope nox! o mora! Christe veni."



Mr Burroughs’s last words were, I come, I come, I come! and so he gave up the ghost.



And let him that is athirst, come] q.d. If you think me long in coming, come to me in mine ordinances; there "I will stay you with apples, comfort you with flagons," Son_2:5.



The water of life freely] {See Trapp on "Rev_21:6"}
