thing_n i_o propound_v to_o speak_v of_o which_o be_v the_o person_n unto_o who_o we_o be_v invite_v to_o come_v for_o help_v and_o that_o be_v christ_n and_o here_o we_o must_v understand_v that_o by_o come_v unto_o christ_n be_v not_o mean_v any_o corporeal_a approach_n as_o if_o we_o be_v oblige_v to_o see_v he_o with_o our_o eye_n or_o to_o touch_v he_o with_o our_o hand_n for_o alas_o how_o can_v we_o that_o be_v but_o worm_n upon_o earth_n come_v thus_o unto_o he_o who_o be_v exalt_v unto_o the_o right-hand_a of_o god_n in_o the_o high_a heaven_n but_o though_o we_o can_v come_v thus_o to_o he_o yet_o we_o may_v come_v near_o to_o he_o than_o thus_o even_o so_o near_o as_o to_o be_v one_o with_o he_o to_o be_v member_n of_o his_o body_n of_o his_o flesh_n and_o of_o his_o bone_n eph._n 5.30_o and_o this_o be_v that_o come_n unto_o christ_n which_o be_v here_o mean_v in_o my_o text_n a_o come_n to_o he_o and_o lay_v hold_n on_o he_o by_o a_o true_a and_o lively_a faith_n this_o be_v the_o only_a way_n that_o we_o can_v come_v unto_o christ_n so_o as_o to_o receive_v any_o benefit_n from_o he_o for_o as_o his_o hand_n be_v tie_v while_o he_o be_v here_o upon_o earth_n so_o that_o he_o can_v not_o work_v any_o miracle_n where_o he_o find_v not_o faith_n so_o be_v they_o tie_v still_o upon_o the_o same_o account_n now_o he_o be_v in_o heaven_n so_o that_o he_o can_v save_v we_o he_o can_v ease_v we_o of_o our_o burden_n except_o we_o believe_v we_o have_v his_o own_o word_n for_o it_o mark_v 16.16_o he_o that_o believe_v and_o be_v baptize_v shall_v be_v save_v but_o he_o that_o believe_v not_o shall_v be_v damn_v and_o if_o this_o be_v all_o that_o be_v require_v of_o we_o in_o come_v to_o christ_n to_o believe_v that_o jesus_n christ_n come_v into_o the_o world_n to_o save_v sinner_n and_o to_o acknowledge_v ourselves_o to_o be_v such_o who_o then_o shall_v not_o be_v save_v sure_o than_o the_o way_n to_o heaven_n be_v much_o easy_a than_o it_o be_v general_o represent_v to_o be_v and_o few_o there_o be_v that_o shall_v not_o find_v it_o but_o our_o bless_a saviour_n have_v assure_v we_o of_o the_o contrary_a and_o tell_v we_o express_o that_o few_o there_o be_v that_o shall_v find_v it_o matth._n 7.14_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v more_o than_o a_o bare_a historical_a faith_n that_o be_v require_v of_o we_o if_o we_o will_v come_v unto_o christ_n aright_o so_o as_o to_o find_v rest_n unto_o our_o soul_n and_o this_o be_v plain_a from_o the_o word_n in_o the_o verse_n after_o my_o text_n take_v my_o yoke_n upon_o you_o and_o learn_v of_o i_o for_o i_o be_o meek_a and_o lowly_a in_o heart_n and_o you_o shall_v find_v rest_n unto_o your_o soul_n here_o be_v something_o imply_v more_o than_o just_a come_n unto_o christ_n for_o we_o must_v not_o only_o come_v to_o he_o but_o we_o must_v resolve_v also_o to_o do_v something_o for_o he_o which_o he_o expect_v we_o shall_v do_v if_o ever_o we_o look_v for_o salvation_n from_o he_o and_o that_o be_v to_o be_v obedient_a to_o those_o most_o holy_a law_n and_o to_o follow_v as_o far_o as_o we_o be_v able_a through_o the_o assistance_n of_o his_o grace_n that_o most_o excellent_a example_n which_o in_o his_o last_o will_n and_o testament_n he_o have_v leave_v we_o for_o the_o rule_n of_o our_o life_n and_o conversation_n i_o will_v not_o deny_v but_o that_o it_o be_v faith_n alone_o by_o which_o we_o be_v justify_v and_o save_v for_o s._n paul_n tell_v we_o more_o than_o once_o in_o his_o epistle_n that_o the_o just_a shall_v live_v by_o faith_n but_o then_o he_o tell_v we_o what_o this_o faith_n be_v gal._n 5.6_o it_o be_v faith_n which_o work_v by_o love_n and_o 1_o thess_n 1.3_o he_o call_v it_o the_o work_n of_o faith_n and_o labour_n of_o love_n if_o then_o faith_n be_v a_o work_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v more_o than_o a_o bare_a assent_n to_o and_o belief_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n together_o with_o a_o groundless_a application_n of_o the_o promise_n therein_o contain_v to_o ourselves_o which_o too_o many_o man_n be_v apt_a to_o think_v to_o be_v a_o faith_n sufficient_a to_o salvation_n for_o what_o work_n be_v this_o to_o believe_v the_o truth_n of_o a_o store_n when_o there_o be_v most_o unanswerable_a argument_n to_o prove_v it_o though_o indeed_o it_o be_v a_o work_n and_o a_o hard_a work_n too_o the_o devil_n work_v to_o persuade_v we_o to_o apply_v those_o precious_a promise_n which_o be_v make_v in_o that_o sacred_a story_n to_o ourselves_o when_o they_o do_v not_o at_o all_o concern_v we_o let_v we_o take_v heed_n therefore_o of_o deceive_v ourselves_o and_o think_v that_o we_o have_v faith_n when_o we_o have_v it_o not_o but_o if_o we_o desire_v to_o approve_v our_o faith_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n and_o man_n and_o angel_n and_o to_o the_o quiet_a and_o satisfaction_n of_o our_o own_o conscience_n let_v we_o follow_v the_o advice_n both_o of_o s._n james_n and_o s._n peter_n the_o former_a tell_v we_o that_o faith_n without_o work_n be_v dead_a and_o that_o by_o work_n faith_n be_v make_v perfect_a and_o the_o latter_a upon_o the_o substantial_a and_o never_o fail_v foundation_n of_o a_o true_a faith_n raise_v a_o most_o noble_a structure_n by_o which_o we_o may_v gradual_o ascend_v into_o those_o mansion_n of_o glory_n which_o our_o bless_a saviour_n have_v prepare_v for_o all_o those_o that_o love_v his_o appear_v 2_o peter_n 1.5_o add_v say_v he_o to_o your_o faith_n virtue_n and_o to_o virtue_n knowledge_n and_o to_o knowledge_n temperance_n and_o to_o temperance_n patience_n and_o to_o patience_n godliness_n and_o to_o godliness_n brotherly_a kindness_n and_o to_o brotherly_a kindness_n charity_n for_o if_o these_o thing_n be_v in_o you_o and_o abound_v they_o make_v you_o that_o you_o shall_v neither_o be_v barren_a nor_o unfruitful_a in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n but_o he_o that_o lack_v these_o thing_n i._n e._n any_o one_o of_o they_o be_v blind_a and_o can_v see_v a_o far_o off_o and_o have_v forget_v that_o he_o be_v purge_v from_o his_o old_a sin_n wherefore_o the_o rather_o brethren_n give_v diligence_n to_o make_v your_o call_n and_o election_n sure_a for_o if_o you_o do_v these_o thing_n you_o shall_v never_o fall_v for_o so_o a_o entrance_n shall_v be_v minister_v unto_o you_o abundant_o into_o the_o everlasting_a knigdom_n of_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n from_o hence_o you_o may_v plain_o see_v that_o the_o faith_n which_o be_v here_o mean_v by_o come_v unto_o christ_n be_v more_o than_o a_o bare_a belief_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n more_o than_o a_o bare_a recumbency_n and_o lean_v upon_o christ_n for_o salvation_n and_o apply_v his_o merit_n to_o ourselves_o as_o it_o be_v at_o a_o venture_n right_n or_o wrong_n whether_o we_o have_v any_o interest_n in_o he_o or_o no._n such_o a_o faith_n as_o this_o many_o man_n trust_v to_o that_o have_v be_v stranger_n all_o their_o life-time_n to_o the_o perfect_a law_n of_o liberty_n by_o which_o s._n james_n tell_v we_o that_o we_o must_v all_o be_v judge_v at_o the_o last_o but_o the_o faith_n which_o our_o saviour_n here_o require_v in_o all_o that_o come_v unto_o he_o imply_v beside_o a_o full_a and_o steadfast_a belief_n of_o all_o that_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o gospel_n a_o firm_a purpose_n and_o resolution_n and_o a_o cheerful_a endeavour_n to_o the_o best_a of_o our_o power_n throughout_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o our_o life_n to_o be_v obedient_a and_o conformable_a to_o all_o those_o rule_n and_o precept_n and_o law_n which_o the_o gospel_n enjoin_v we_o to_o perform_v to_o imitate_v that_o most_o holy_a example_n which_o our_o bless_a lord_n have_v set_v we_o strive_v to_o be_v perfect_a as_o he_o be_v perfect_a and_o when_o we_o have_v do_v all_o this_o still_o to_o acknowledge_v that_o we_o be_v unprofitable_a servant_n utter_o disow_v any_o merit_n or_o righteousness_n in_o ourselves_o but_o desire_v with_o s._n paul_n to_o be_v find_v in_o christ_n not_o have_v our_o own_o righteousness_n which_o be_v of_o the_o law_n but_o that_o which_o be_v through_o the_o faith_n of_o christ_n the_o righteousness_n which_o be_v of_o god_n by_o faith_n phil._n 3.9_o this_o be_v a_o true_a and_o save_a faith_n indeed_o and_o whosoever_o thus_o come_v unto_o christ_n may_v assure_v himself_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v hearty_o welcome_a he_o shall_v most_o certain_o obtain_v the_o benefit_n of_o this_o invitation_n and_o shall_v find_v rest_n unto_o his_o soul_n and_o this_o bring_v i_o to_o my_o three_o and_o last_o particular_a which_o be_v the_o end_n wherefore_o all_o that_o labour_n and_o
