Ho, every profane sinner, come in and live. Return unto the Lord and he will have mercy upon thee. Be entreated, Oh return, come: Thou that hast filled thy mouth with oaths, and execrations, all manner of sins and blasphemies shall be forgiven thee, Mark 3. 28. if thou wilt but throughly turn unto Christ, and come in. Though thou wast as unclean as Magdalen; yet put away thy Whoredoms out of thy sight, and thine adulteries from between thy breasts, and give up thy self unto Christ, as a vessel of holiness, ⟨p. 211⟩alone for his use, and then, though thy sins be as scarlet, they shall be as wool, and though they be as crimson, they shall be as white snow, Luke 7. 37. Hos. 2. 2. 1 Thes. 4. 4. Isaiah. 1. 18.
