John 1:44-51 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.… Seed hath a natural warmth and life in it, by which it increaseth and produceth more seeds like itself; so God's Word, cast into the good ground of a believing heart, hath a supernatural heat, it being as fire, and lively power to frame and dispose men like itself, to make them of fleshly, spiritual; of blind, quicksighted; of dead in sin, alive in grace. And as one grain quickened produces several ears, and many grains in each, so one Christian converted and receiving this power in himself, gaineth many to God, wishing that every one were, as he is, except the bonds of his sins. Philip, being called, finds Nathanael, and brings him to Christ; and the woman at the well calls all the town. (Dr. Lake.)
