Such broken hearts are the sacrifices of God a broken a conttite heart O Lord thou wiltneuer despise Psal 51 17 whoso doth pray with Dauid Hide thy face from my sins V. 9 10.11.12 and blot out all mine ini quities Create in me a cleane heart O God and renue a right spirit within me Cast me not away from thy face and take not thy holy spirit from me Restore vnto methe ioy of thy saluation c. that poore soule shal be liberally comforted and fully refreshed in the bowels of Christs endlesse compassions Neuer did any Faithfull penitent heart depart from the throne of Grace without some sensible consolation Neuer did Christ since the foundations of the world reiect any of his poore ransomed members Isa 1. but though their sinnes were as red as crimson they became as white as snow so that the bones which the Lord had broken did euer thereafter reioyce in his mercy Chap. 4. The reason of the former point ALl the wearie Saints of Christ are refreshed whether these be rich or poore Gal. 3.28 Iewes or Greeks bōd or free male or female for with God there is no respect of persons Eph. 6.9 but as many as walke according to this rule peace shal be vpon them and mercy and vpon the Israel of God Gal 6.16 Who else should bee inuited vnto the participiation of mercy to bee partakers of the priuiledges and comforts of the Kingdome of Christ Phil. 2.8 9. but such as hee came into the world to saue whom should he refresh but those whom he hath redeemed And whom should hee exalt Matt. 10.6 but those for whose sakes he was humbled and afterward highly exalted Now it is euident that Christ was sent of the Father into the world not to call the righteous but sinners to repentance and to saue the lost sheepe of the house of Israel for the same was prophecied of him by the holy Ghost long before his Incarnation Isa 61. 1. c.
