Persons in the Triune God, that he had sent his angel to communicate these things through his beloved disciple to the Churches, and in his character of God-man he announces that he is at once the root and offspring of David, and the harbinger of light and immortality, that lighteth every man which cometh into the world.

"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 of the water of life freely."

The Spirit and the Bride, which is the newlyconverted Jewish Church, at length united to her Lord and Saviour, as her husband, both cry, Come. And let him that heareth the cry, reecho, Come. And let him that is athirst for the grace and mercy of his Redeemer, come; and, if he will, take freely of the water of life.

"For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book: If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues which are written in this book. And if any man shall take away from the wordsof the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the Holy City, and from the things which are written in this book. He which testifieth these things saith, Surely, I come quickly. Amen.

224 THE INTERPRETATION OF THE APOCALYPSE.

Even so, come Lord Jesus! The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

Our blessed Redeemer here bears testimony to the curses denounced against the hearers of the foregoing Revelation, if they shall dare to add any thing to the words of this prophecy; or, on the other hand, if they shall dare to mutilate, or detract any thing from it. And he that testifieth these things saith, "Surely, (or Verily) I come quickly." Amen. To which the beloved disciple answers-(and so let every true disciple of his blessed Lord answer with him),-" Even Come, Lord Jesus!"

So.

"The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with us all. Amen."

THE END.
