Objection 2.
When, I say, I only seek my self, I mean, I do not find that I do design Gods Glory in mine own Salvation by Christ, and that makes me fear, I do not come aright.
Answer, Where doth Christ Jesus require such a Qualification, of those that are coming to him for Life? come thou for Life, and trouble not thy head with such Objections against thy Self, and let God and Christ alone to Glorify themselves in the Salvation of such a worm as thou art. The Father saith to the Son, Thou art my Servant, O Israel, in whom I will be Glorified. God, propoundeth Life to Sinners, as the argument to prevail with them to come to him for Life; and Christ says plainly, I am come, that ye might have Life, John 10. 10. He hath no need of thy designs, though thou hast need of his. Eternal Life, pardon of Sin, and Deliverance from Wrath to come, Christ propounds to thee, and these be the things that thou hast need of; besides, God will be gracious, and merciful to worthless, undeserving wretches; ⟨p. 50⟩come then as such an one. Therefore lay no stumbling blocks in thy way to him, but come to him for life, & live, Joh. 5. 34. Chap. 10. 10. Chap. 3. 36.
