A Call to the Unconverted
A call to the unconverted to turn and live and accept of mercy while mercy may be had as ever they would find mercy in the day of their extremity from the living God / by his unworthy servant, Richard Baxter ; to be read in families where any are unconverted.
London: printed by R.W. for Nevil Simmons, 1658

The Fathers works were to Create us, to Rule us […] his •ational ⟨p. 35⟩creatures, by the Law of Nature, and Judge us thereby: And in mercy to provide us a Redeemer when we were lost, and to send his Son, and accept his Ransom.
The Fathers works were to Create us, to Rule us 〈…〉 his •ational ⟨p. 35⟩creatures, by the Law of Nature, and Judge us thereby: And in mercy to provide us a Redeemer when we were lost, and to send his Son, and accept his Ransom.
The works of the Son for us were these, To Ransom and Redeem us by his Sufferings and Righteousness; to give out the Promise or Law of Grace, and Rule and Judge the world as their Redeemer, on terms of Grace, and to make intercession for us, that the benefits of his death may be communicated; and to send the Holy Ghost (which the Father also doth by the Son.) The works of the Holy Ghost for us are these: to indite the Holy Scriptures, by inspiring and guiding the Prophets and Apostles, and sealing the Word by his Miraculous gifts and works; and the illuminating and exciting the ordinary ⟨p. 36⟩Ministers of the Gospel, and so enabling them and helping them to publish that Word: and by the same word Illuminating and Converting the souls of men. So that as you could not have been reasonable creatures, if the Father had not Created you, nor have had any access to God, if the Son had not Redeemed you; so neither can you have a part in Christ, or be saved, except the Holy Ghost do sanctify you.
