that have tendered the grace of Jesus Christ and Christ with all his fulness to you all our Sermons and we shall be brought in as evidences against you Can you bear this You that have heard us with delight and have seemed to take pleasure in what we have spoken and preached to you what think you now to have us one after another with all the Sermons that have been preached in your hearing to be brought in as an evidence against you And not only so but for God to come in against you and say I offered you grace and for Christ to say I offered you my blood and the Spirit to say I strove with you to work a work o● grace in you I beseech you sirs consider 〈◊〉 do not speak these things to spend time bu● this is that my Soul longs after that I might perswade every sinner to become a saint thatevery one that hath gotten a littlegrace might make it his business to get more grace For sinners you can never have grace too soon and Saints you can never have grace too much I shall only urge all that I have said with these 2 things First If sinners you will now come in and close with Christ to day while it is called to day Be you young or old I value it not be you what you will be whatsoever your condition be As soon as ever you come in and get the least grace all the Trinity that is concerned in the promise will according to their respective Relations pursue the design and intendment of the promise upon you and for you in all the succeeding circumstances of your lives Why is not this a thing that is desirable It may be a wicked man may make a promise to thee thou art his Child and he a wicked Father if thou wilt not do so and so he will not do this and that for thee Why I pray now is it not better for you to have the promise of one God for good and to be in the reach of one of the promises of the blessed Trinity than to be incompassed and invironed with all the promises of them that are enemies to God and also to you for Gods sake Here now is a promise yet shall not the least Grain fall to the Earth when God sifts the Nations I pray ballance this with all the promises of the Word when God comes a sifting either by Temptation or Persecution or afflictions when God comes a sifting I pray who can keep you in the Sieve Who can keep you out of Hell can all your rich friends and great friends can all the powers of the World keep you out of everlasting burnings No It is only God can do it yet shall not the least Grain fall upon the Earth For my part I think that one promise made by the Blessed God is better then to have a thousand promises though they were in a capacity to fulfil them made by the greatest Powers in the the World 2. The last thing that I shall leave upon you is this That the sooner you close with Christ the sooner you will be safe The sooner you get grace the sooner you will have the security of grace Great are the distractions of the minds of men under various apprehensions of approaching dangers and my friends in a time and hour wherein the Lord says come Christ says come and the Spirit says come and the Gospel says come and Ministers say come why do not you come Sirs to day while it is called to day For my part I think it is never too soon for a Soul to be safe for ever from everlasting burnings and therefore if you do believe the things that I have delivered you that are Saints of a little attainment carry it as becomes you You that are Saints of a greater attainment carry it as becomes you and you that have attained no grace at all carry it as becomes you And this is that that becomes you To come unto Jesus Christ and be restless till the Lord make you one of his graines though never so little A Catalogue of Books printed for and are to be sold by Edward Giles Bookseller in Norwich near the Market Place SEveral Discourses concerning Actual Providence A Word in Season Defensive Armour against four of Satans most Fiery Darts Sermon upon the whole first and second Chapters of the Canticles 13 Sermons upon several useful Subjects all published by John Collings D.
