Third Use, Then prepare to receive your Saviour. Oh if he be come, take heed that you receive him in. Let him not complain of you as he did of his native Country-men the Jews, that he came unto his own, and his own received him not. When this news come, that there was a Saviour born, one would have ⟨p. 134⟩thought that all the world should have received him with triumph: but there was no room for him in all the world, but he was thrust out in the m•nger. Let it not be so with you.

Question, But how shall we receive him? I shall shew you whither and how.
First. Whither you shall receive him. receive him into your hearts; not in your stall, as he was at first, but into your parlour, into your hearts. Your parlour, is but a stable. Thou mayst wonder that Christ will accept of thy heart, send the key of your hearts to Christ, let him take his choice where to lye: give him the upper room in your hearts.
