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

Object. 3. But are not all men sinners, even the best of you all?
Answ. But all are not unconverted sinners. The godly live not in gross sin, and their very infirmities are their grief, and burden, which they daily long, and pray, and strive to be rid of. Sin hath not dominion over them.
Object. 4. I do not see that Professors are any better then other men; They will over-reach, and oppress, and are as Covetous as any.
Answ. Whatever hypocrites are, its not so with those that are sanctified. God hath thousands and thousands that are otherwise: Though the malicious world doth accuse them of what they can never prove, and of that which never entered into their hearts. And commonly they charge them with heart-sins, which none can see but God; because they can charge them with no such wickedness in their lives, as they are guilty of themselves.
