Universal redemption of mankind, by the Lord Jesus Christ stated and cleared by the…

Men usually content themselves generally and confusedly to know Christ to be their Redeemer (it seems then, that it is true) never once seeking in every particular Estate and condition of Life, and in every particular blessing of God to feel the benefit of his passion. What is the cause that almost all the World live in security never almost touched for their horrible Sins? Surely the reason is because they did never yet seriously consider that Christ in the Garden lay grovelling upon the Earth, sweating Water and Blood for their offences. (Can a Man speak plainer for Christs dying for all?) Again all such as by fraud and oppression or any kind of hard dealing suck the Blood of poor Men, never yet knew that their Sins drew out the Heart Blood of Christ! And proud Men and Women that are puffed up by reason of their attire, which is the badge of their shame, and never cease hunting after ⟨p. 181⟩strange fashions, consider not that Christ was not Crucified in gay attire, but naked, that he might bear the whole shame and curse of the Law for us. These and such like, whatsoever they say in word, are flat Enemies of the Cross of Christ, and tread his precious Blood under their Feet. Now then considering this so weighty and special a point of Religion is so much neglected, O Man or Woman, high or low, young or old, if thou have been wanting this way begin for very shame to learn, and learning to know Christ Crucified: That thou mayest attain to this, behold him often, &c. 1. Look on him as a glass or spectacle in which thou shalt see Gods Glory greater in thy Redemption then in thy Creation. &c. 2. Thou must behold him as the full price of thy Redemption and perfect Reconciliation with God: And pray earnestly to God that he would Seal up the same in thy conscience by his Spirit. 3. Thou must behold Christ as an example to whom thou must conform thy self by Regeneration, &c. Read the History of Christs passion: Observe all the parts and circumstances thereof, and apply them to thy self for thy full Conversion. When thou readest that Christ went to the Garden as his custom was where the Jews might soon attack him, consider that he went to the death of the Cross for thy Sins willingly, and not of constraint and that therefore thou for thy part shouldest do him all service freely, Psal. 110. 3.
