Ho, every one that is in debt, and every one that is in distress, and every one that is discontented, gather your selves unto Christ• and he will become a Captain over you. He will be your protection from the arrests of the Law; He will save you from the ⟨p. 173⟩hand of Justice. Behold he is an open sanctuary to you, he is a known Refuge, Heb. 6. 18. Psal. 48. 3. Away with your sins, and come in unto him, lest the avenger of blood seize you, lest devouring wrath overtake you.
Ho, every ignorant sinner, come and buy eyesalve that thou mayest see, Rev. 3. 18. Away with thine excuses; thou art for ever lost, if thou continuest in this estate, 2 Cor. 4. 3. But accept of Christ for thy Prophet, and he will be a light unto thee, Isa. 42. 6. Ephes. 5. 14. Cry unto him for knowledge, study his word, take pains about the Principles of Religion, humble thy self before him, and he will teach thee his way, and make thee wise unto salvation, Mat. 13. 36. Luke 8. 9. John 5. 39. Psal. 25. 9. But if thou wilt not follow him, in the painful use of his means, but sit down, because thou hast but one talent, he will condemn thee for a wicked and slothful servant,
