Son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life Joh. 3.19 Christ hath once suffered for sins the just for the unjust that he might bring us to God 1 Pet. 3.18 Flee to this refuge when thou seest thy self ungodly and accursed by the Law of God and fearest thou shalt be damned Consider with thy self though I am ungodly yet there 's a dying Christ for the ungodly Rom. 5.6 Though I am an enemy yet Christ hath reconciled enemies to God by his death vers 10. Though I am rebellious and so abominable that I fear lest the earth should open and swallow up such a wretch sometimes and so God should righteously sink me to Hell living and in his wrath yet here 's good news and encouragement for me that Jesus Christ when he ascended on high received gifts for men yea for the rebellious also that the Lord God might dwell amongst the rebellious Psal 68.18 Though I am accursed and I see plainly God threatens to damn me in many Scriptures yet is there hopes for such a condemned sinner since Christ hath redeemed accursed sinners from the curse of the Law being made a curse for them that we might receive the blessing of Abraham and the promise of the Spirit Gal. 3.13 14. 6. Believe in Jesus Christ because 't is the command of God and pleasing in his sight and thy duty though thou canst see no other warrant or ground of encouragement This is his Commandment that we should believe on the Name of his Son Jesus Christ 1 Joh. 3.22 23. Believe on the Lord Jesus and thou shalt be saved Acts 16.31 Christ tells hypocrites that sought him for their bellies This is the work of god that ye believe on him whom God hath sent Joh. 6.28 29. Apply the Word thus to thy self the righteous God that knows all my hainous sins in stead of damning me for them commands me to believe on his Son and assures me that I shall be saved The Lord give thee the spirit of wisdome and revesation in the acknowledgement of Christ and the obedience of faith 7. Rejoyce to hear that Jesus Christ is become an earnest suitor for thy love he will bear thy sorrows and love thee freely Isa 5.3 4. Hos 14.4 Christ once crucified now saith to thee Behold I stand at the door and knock if any man hear my voice and open the door I will come in to him Rev. 3.20 I am not come to call the righteous but sinners saith the Lord Mat. 9.13 Come unto me all ye who labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest Mat. 11.18 Ho every one that thirsteth come ye to the waters and he that hath no money come ye Isa 55.1 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 Rev. 22.17 Hearken therefore to the ravishing voice of Christ although thou mayst judge thy self the vilest and chiefest of sinners and mayst verily think there may be mercy for others but there is none for such a great monstrous sinner as thou hast been yet here is the joyfull sound that the Son of man God manifest in the flesh is come to seek and to save that which is lost Luke 19.10 How dreadfull soever thy condition may be in thy own thoughts yet Christ saith Him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out Joh. 6.37 Though you therefore feel hard and dead hearts yet come as sinners unto Christ who came to seek and save such The Lord calls stour hearted sinners who are farre from righteousness to hearken unto him Isa 46.12 13. 8. When your hearts are sinking under the sence of Gods wrath then resolve in the strength of Christ to rely upon him to cast and roul your selves upon him whatever be the issue If I perish I will perish at the feet of Christ for other wise I am sure to perish if he condemn me he is righteous if he save me 't will be riches of free grace for ever to be admired Venture thus upon Christ against a thousand discouragements as the Lepers ventured into the tents of the Syrians a King 7.4 5 6. Press in upon Christ resolving to take no deniall as the woman of Caenaan did Mat. 15.22 c. These had a blessed issue out of their difficulties and thou shalt find at length that the bowels of Christ will yearn over thy fainting soul lying at his feet for a crumb and he will embrace thee with unspeakable love Thus let the Kingdome of Heaven suffer violence press thou into it and take it by force 9. Never attempt to believe or repent in thy own strength but look unto Jesus in whom it hath pleased the Father all fulness should dwell Col. 1.19 As thou would'st not prove a rotten hypocrite beware of a dead faith of thy own forming which is not the faith of the operation of God Col. 2.12 Look not for that in thy self which is to be found in Christ nor for that in the Law which is to be found in the Gospell this hath been the cause of the long troubles of many precious souls When thou fearest thou shalt die eternally because thou canst not believe look out of thy self unto Christ who is full of grace and behold his glory Joh. 1.14 Look unto me and be ye saved all the ends of the earth Isa 45.22 Look unto Jesus the beginner and finisher of faith Heb. 12.2 Christ never comes expecting to find faith or repentance but looks upon a filthy soul polluted in his own blood and saith unto him live and this time is the time of love Ezek. 16.6 8. The grace of the Lord is exceeding abundant to the chiefest of sinners with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus 1 Tim. 1.14 When thou turnest thine eyes inward and thinkest the hardness and impenitency of thy heart will surely be thy ruine flee to that reviving word Act. 5.30.31 God hath raised up Jesus and exalted him with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour to give repentance to Israel and remission of sins The Lord hath promised in the latter dayes to destroy the veil of unbelief which is spread over all Nations Isa 25.7 Dost thou find by experience that word true No man can come to me except the Father which hath sent me draw him Behold in the next Verse what a full promise of help is made to thee They shall be all taught of God every man therefore that hath heard and learnt of the Father cometh unto me Joh. 6.44 45. And Psal 25. Good and upright is the Lord therefore will he teach sinners in the way And Christ saith I am the way unto the Father Joh. 14.6 Follow the Lord at the throne of grace with cryes and groanes unutterable without ceasing O draw me to Christ help me to close with and to be united to Christ If thou findest still 't is impossible for thee to believe hear the Lord saying to thee Let him take hold of my strength that he may make peace with me and he shall make peace with me Isa 27.5 He giveth power to the faint and to them that have no might be encreaseth strength Chap. 40.29 Therefore trust ye in the Lord for ever for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength Chap. 26.4 It is my earnest desire and prayer to God that this may be the time of Gods speciall love and the day of his power that you may be united to Christ by faith wrought in you by the power of Gods Spirit that you may thirst after and receive a full assurance of Gods love and that you may have the love of Christ shed abroad in your hearts and may abide in Christ being strong in the grace which is in him which is sufficient for you in your greatest straits and that you may be taught of God to sing his praises and to rejoyce with trembling and may never lose your first love nor fall into a spirit of slumber or delusion but may grow in the knowledge of Christ and being planted in the house of God may bring forth much fruit denying your selves and taking up the Cross of Christ walking worthy of the Lord all your few dayes to the praise of his free grace who hath called you into his Kingdome and glory O that these lines may not hereafter rise up in judgement at the last day against any of you which slight them and condemn you and that they may be the voice and call of God his arm and power revealed to your salvation The grace and peace of the Lord and the abiding presence of the Comforter be with you for ever FINIS
