grace_n be_v past_a and_o th●t_v it_o be_v now_o too_o late_o have_v so_o long_o stand_v out_o against_o the_o tender_n and_o offer_v of_o jesus_n christ._n for_o the_o removal_n of_o this_o i_o shall_v propound_v four_o thing_n to_o your_o serious_a consideration_n 1_o it_o be_v not_o for_o any_o man_n to_o say_v his_o day_n of_o grace_n be_v past_a for_o that_o be_v one_o of_o those_o secret_n which_o belong_v only_o unto_o god_n to_o know_v and_o we_o must_v not_o meddle_v with_o god_n secret_n but_o check_v ourselves_o for_o it_o 2_o if_o thou_o have_v stand_v out_o against_o christ_n hitherto_o thou_o have_v now_o therefore_o the_o more_o reason_n to_o come_v in_o and_o close_v with_o the_o tender_n and_o offer_v of_o jesus_n christ._n 3_o if_o thou_o have_v a_o heart_n desirous_a to_o close_v with_o the_o tender_n and_o offer_v of_o jesus_n christ_n it_o be_v certain_a thy_o day_n of_o grace_n be_v not_o yet_o past_a christ_n still_o knock_v at_o the_o door_n of_o thy_o heart_n therefore_o now_o resolve_v to_o open_v unto_o he_o 4_o consider_v that_o christ_n have_v several_a season_n of_o bring_v man_n home_n to_o himself_o some_o he_o bring_v home_o to_o himself_o in_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o the_o day_n who_o questionless_a refuse_v he_o in_o the_o former_a part_n thereof_o and_o therefore_o so_o long_o as_o life_n last_v do_v not_o say_v it_o be_v too_o late_o but_o stir_v up_o thyself_o to_o receive_v jesus_n christ_n as_o he_o be_v offer_v in_o the_o gospel_n and_o to_o rest_v upon_o he_o and_o his_o merit_n alone_o for_o life_n and_o salvation_n have_v thus_o show_v you_o the_o let_v and_o impediment_n to_o be_v remove_v ii_o i_o proceed_v now_o to_o the_o truth_n to_o be_v embrace_v which_o be_v these_o 1_o that_o every_o man_n out_o of_o christ_n be_v in_o a_o wretched_a miserable_a condition_n liable_a to_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n to_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n to_o all_o judgement_n and_o plague_n here_o and_o to_o eternal_a death_n and_o condemnation_n hereafter_o with_o the_o devil_n and_o damn_a in_o hell_n flame_n yea_o every_o christless_a man_n and_o woman_n hang_v over_o the_o very_a mouth_n of_o hell_n by_o the_o rot_a thread_n of_o their_o life_n which_o be_v ready_a every_o moment_n to_o crack_v and_o then_o what_o can_v be_v expect_v but_o a_o irrecoverable_a downfall_n into_o hell_n 2_o that_o no_o man_n be_v able_a to_o help_v himself_o out_o of_o this_o wretched_a miserable_a condition_n 5_o for_o as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v we_o be_v not_o sufficient_a of_o ourselves_o so_o much_o as_o to_o think_v a_o good_a thought_n much_o less_o can_v we_o do_v any_o thing_n of_o ourselves_o to_o free_v ourselves_o from_o so_o great_a a_o bondage_n and_o slavery_n as_o sin_n have_v bring_v we_o into_o 3_o that_o god_n himself_o out_o of_o his_o free_a grace_n and_o rich_a mercy_n do_v send_v his_o own_o son_n out_o of_o his_o bosom_n into_o the_o world_n to_o take_v our_o nature_n upon_o he_o 45_o that_o therein_o he_o may_v redeem_v we_o out_o of_o our_o wretched_a miserable_a condition_n 4_o that_o christ_n be_v a_o all-sufficient_a saviour_n who_o by_o his_o death_n have_v make_v full_a satisfaction_n to_o god_n justice_n for_o all_o our_o sin_n 〈◊〉_d and_o therefore_o be_v able_a to_o save_v we_o to_o the_o uttermost_a to_o the_o uttermost_a of_o our_o sin_n yea_o to_o the_o uttermost_a of_o our_o fear_n and_o doubt_n 5_o that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v willing_a to_o receive_v and_o embrace_v all_o poor_a sinner_n who_o will_v but_o go_v unto_o he_o 25_o and_o cast_v themselves_o and_o the_o burden_n of_o their_o sin_n upon_o he_o 1_o as_o appear_v by_o his_o manifold_a gracious_a invitation_n unto_o poor_a sinner_n 28_o who_o be_v but_o sensible_a of_o their_o sin_n 37_o to_o come_v unto_o he_o 17_o 6_o that_o there_o be_v no_o way_n or_o mean_n of_o salvation_n but_o only_o by_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n and_o believe_v be_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n in_o two_o respect_n 1_o as_o it_o be_v the_o command_n of_o god_n praecepti_fw-la that_o we_o shall_v believe_v in_o the_o name_n of_o his_o son_n jesus_n christ_n as_o 1_o joh._n 3._o 23._o this_o be_v his_o commandment_n that_o we_o shall_v believe_v on_o the_o name_n of_o his_o son_n jesus_n christ._n 2_o as_o it_o be_v the_o condition_n or_o mean_n that_o god_n have_v set_v down_o for_o the_o obtain_n of_o eternal_a life_n and_o salvation_n ●●edii_fw-la as_o joh._n 3._o 16._o for_o god_n so_o love_v the_o world_n that_o he_o give_v his_o only_a beget_v son_n that_o whosoever_o believe_v in_o he_o shall_v not_o perish_v but_o have_v everlasting_a life_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o unbelief_n be_v make_v the_o only_a ground_n and_o reason_n of_o man_n damnation_n 36_o though_o man_n shall_v be_v punish_v for_o all_o other_o sin_n yet_o not_o believe_v be_v the_o ground_n and_o reason_n why_o they_o perish_v by_o their_o sin_n because_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o only_a mean_n of_o salvation_n these_o be_v the_o truth_n to_o be_v embrace_v iii_o come_v we_o now_o to_o the_o duty_n to_o be_v practise_v 1_o upon_o a_o serious_a apprehension_n of_o thy_o miserable_a condition_n without_o christ_n labour_v to_o stir_v up_o in_o thy_o soul_n some_o affectionate_a long_a restless_a desire_n after_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n that_o thou_o may_v in_o truth_n from_o thy_o heart_n say_v oh_o that_o christ_n be_v i_o oh_o that_o upon_o any_o term_n my_o soul_n may_v enjoy_v he_o this_o be_v the_o lift_v up_o of_o the_o door_n and_o gate_n of_o the_o soul_n that_o so_o the_o king_n of_o glory_n m●y_v enter_v in_o and_o dwell_v there_o 2_o be_v convince_v that_o there_o be_v no_o way_n or_o mean_n of_o salvation_n but_o only_o by_o go_v out_o of_o thyself_o unto_o jesus_n and_o cast_v thyself_o upon_o he_o adventure_n thy_o soul_n upon_o christ_n cast_v thyself_o into_o his_o arm_n and_o be_v sure_a thou_o give_v not_o way_n to_o carnal_a reason_n to_o doubt_n and_o temptation_n from_o the_o number_n and_o heinousness_n of_o thy_o sin_n or_o from_o thy_o unworthiness_n but_o reason_n from_o the_o intent_n and_o freeness_n of_o god_n offer_v of_o christ_n and_o from_o christ_n willingness_n to_o receive_v all_o poor_a sinner_n that_o will_v but_o adventure_v their_o soul_n upon_o he_o say_v with_o job_n though_o he_o slay_v i_o yet_o will_v i_o trust_v in_o he_o 16_o job_n 13_o 15._o and_o with_o ester_n i_o will_v go_v if_o i_o perish_v i_o perish_v i_o will_v perish_v trust_v upon_o jesus_n christ._n 3_o diligent_o frequent_v the_o public_a ministry_n of_o the_o word_n 17_o it_o be_v the_o ordinary_a mean_n god_n have_v sanctify_v for_o the_o work_n of_o faith_n in_o our_o heart_n according_a to_o that_o of_o
