O see here the love of Christ! in vain were all thy tears and sorrow, had not Christ made way for thee. O see him, and hear him speaking from the cross, my wounds shall heal thy soul, if thou wilt but repent. These hands shall work out thy salvation, if thou wilt but return and repent. Ah sinner! what is not thy soul melted yet? methinks I should hear thee making thy submission, and return to the Lord, as one that melteth at the word of his Lord. ⟨p. 229⟩Lord is thy mind thus? shall I have all this if I will but repent? behold, I cover my head with sackcloth. I am the offender, as for this lamb what hath he done? O Lord it repenteth me of my rebellions: I lay down my w pons: I swear, I will be a resolved enemy against sin, as long as I live.
