Looking unto Jesus a view of the everlasting gospel, or, the souls eying of…

1. The Doctrine of Christ, Come unto me,— and him that cometh unto me, I will in no wise cast out. All the arguments of God and Christ, of which you have heard, the practice of Christ whiles he was upon earth, and the heart of Christ now in Heaven; lay these together, and apply them to your own souls. Oh what work will they make!

2. The calls of God, and Christ; as they are frequent in Scriptures; consider that Text, Ho, every one that thirsts, come ye to the waters! Isa. 55.1. [Ho] he begins proclamation-wise; we usually say, vocations, interjections speak very affectionate motion towards the distressed; certainly Christ's love is a very affectionate love, he lays his mouth to the ears of those that are spiritually deaf, and cries aloud, Ho [every one] Christ invites all: As many as ye shall find, bid them to the Marriage, Matth 22.9. As the Heavens are general in their influence, not one grass on the ground but 'tis bedewed; so are Christs invitations to his feast, not one man in the world but he is invited? Ho, every one that thirsteth] so the Apostle, Let him that is athirst come, and whosoever will, let him take the water of Life freely, Revel. 22.17. A thirst and a will is one and the same, it is your will that makes up the match; if you will but sit down at God's Table, if you will but have the honey-comb with the honey, if you will but drink his Wine with his milk, if you will drink, yea drink abundantly of the flagons of the new wine of his Kingdom; why then come, Come ye to the waters; come unto me and drink. Christs arms are spread abroad to receive sinners; he calls and knocks; and calls and waits; and calls and beseeches; every word here hath so much sweetness and dearness in it, as it plainly speaks him free and willing to receive you, if you will but come.
