thing_n be_v require_v to_o and_o import_v by_o our_o receive_n of_o christ_n according_a to_o the_o express_a letter_n of_o the_o text_n one_a hear_v his_o voice_n two_o open_v unto_o he_o but_o before_o i_o speak_v particular_o to_o these_o thing_n let_v i_o observe_v to_o you_o from_o the_o general_a indefinite_a expression_n here_o use_v that_o jesus_n christ_n do_v not_o exclude_v any_o one_o person_n from_o enjoy_v he_o and_o the_o benefit_n of_o his_o death_n and_o gracious_a presence_n provide_v he_o will_v but_o comply_v with_o he_o and_o accept_v of_o his_o gracious_a offer_n he_o be_v willing_a to_o come_v to_o and_o dwell_v with_o any_o person_n who_o will_v but_o hearken_v to_o his_o voice_n and_o give_v he_o admittance_n he_o will_v not_o refuse_v you_o for_o any_o personal_a unworthiness_n or_o because_o you_o have_v be_v very_o grievous_a and_o notorious_a transgressor_n he_o will_v have_v all_o man_n to_o be_v save_v and_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n 1_o tim._n 2.4_o he_o invite_v all_o without_o exception_n isa_n 55.1_o 2._o if_o any_o man_n hear_v my_o voice_n any_o man_n though_o ever_o so_o poor_a or_o miserable_a in_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o world_n nay_o notwithstanding_o he_o have_v be_v ever_o so_o violent_a and_o fierce_a against_o i_o though_o his_o sin_n be_v never_o so_o many_o never_o so_o great_a never_o so_o

my_o merit_n and_o the_o comfort_n satisfaction_n and_o benefit_n arise_v therefrom_o we_o have_v very_a signal_n evidence_n of_o this_o in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n peter_n after_o his_o most_o detestable_a denial_n of_o christ_n be_v receive_v into_o favour_n paul_n though_o he_o have_v be_v such_o a_o outrageous_a persecutor_n find_v mercy_n and_o be_v make_v a_o most_o excellent_a and_o useful_a apostle_n the_o general_a doctrine_n of_o the_o scripture_n do_v confirm_v this_o truth_n that_o christ_n be_v ready_a and_o willing_a to_o communicate_v himself_o and_o the_o benefit_n of_o his_o death_n and_o passion_n to_o any_o that_o will_v accept_v of_o he_o christ_n have_v put_v no_o bar_n no_o impediment_n no_o hindrance_n in_o any_o man_n way_n if_o we_o do_v not_o accept_v of_o he_o if_o we_o reap_v not_o the_o benefit_n of_o his_o death_n the_o fault_n be_v our_o own_o even_o because_o we_o will_v not_o receive_v he_o when_o he_o come_v unto_o we_o and_o entreat_v for_o

admittance_n i_o have_v give_v you_o before_o a_o short_a account_n of_o these_o argument_n but_o this_o instruct_v we_o that_o a_o heedful_a attentive_a frame_n of_o spirit_n be_v ordinary_o requisite_a to_o a_o due_a receive_n of_o christ_n into_o our_o heart_n a_o unruly_a froward_a temper_n that_o be_v impatient_a of_o spiritual_a advice_n instruction_n reproof_n etc._n etc._n and_o fume_n and_o chafe_v on_o all_o such_o occasion_n and_o apply_v to_o any_o sort_n of_o course_n to_o divert_v from_o serious_a consideration_n be_v a_o very_a dangerous_a and_o unhappy_a temper_n but_o this_o be_v not_o all_o that_o hear_n christ_n voice_n do_v import_v people_n may_v attend_v to_o matter_n of_o this_o nature_n and_o design_n no_o more_o than_o to_o obtain_v some_o embellishment_n in_o their_o discourse_n or_o they_o may_v have_v some_o design_n not_o true_o useful_a and_o commendable_a indeed_o god_n may_v make_v his_o word_n to_o fasten_v and_o prove_v effectual_a to_o those_o who_o have_v none_o of_o the_o best_a purpose_n in_o harken_v to_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n and_o therefore_o i_o dare_v not_o discourage_v any_o man_n absolute_o from_o attend_v whatever_o he_o may_v propose_v to_o himself_o in_o so_o do_v because_o the_o word_n may_v take_v hold_n of_o he_o beyond_o expectation_n mr._n bilney_n report_v of_o himself_o that_o he_o buy_v and_o read_v the_o new_a testament_n not_o because_o it_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o because_o erasmus_n have_v translate_v it_o into_o excellent_a latin_a yet_o it_o please_v god_n when_o he_o read_v 1_o tim._n 1.15_o that_o his_o mind_n be_v particular_o fix_v on_o those_o word_n so_o that_o god_n make_v they_o effectual_a for_o his_o conversion_n and_o reformation_n but_o such_o instance_n be_v something_o out_o of_o the_o usual_a and_o common_a road_n therefore_o we_o have_v reason_n to_o conclude_v that_o harken_v to_o the_o voice_n of_o christ_n do_v note_v something_o more_o than_o bare_a attendance_n to_o his_o voice_n 2._o it_o do_v note_v the_o influence_n the_o argument_n our_o saviour_n do_v use_v have_v on_o our_o affection_n and_o heart_n attention_n be_v a_o very_a useful_a expedient_a for_o the_o make_n of_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v propose_v unto_o we_o to_o have_v some_o efficacy_n on_o we_o when_o we_o diligent_o attend_v to_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v speak_v we_o have_v impression_n ordinary_o make_v on_o our_o mind_n which_o bear_v some_o proportion_n with_o what_o have_v be_v discourse_v and_o this_o seem_v to_o be_v

in_o the_o text_n to_o note_v our_o receive_n of_o christ_n and_o it_o do_v import_v our_o compliance_n with_o he_o our_o free_a and_o sincere_a resignation_n of_o ourselves_o unto_o he_o as_o a_o person_n who_o be_v in_o a_o house_n when_o another_o who_o be_v the_o right_a owner_n of_o it_o come_v and_o knock_v at_o the_o door_n and_o declare_v to_o the_o party_n within_o his_o claim_n to_o
