Coming sinner, what promise thou findest in the word of Christ, strain it whether thou canst, so thou dost not corrupt it, and his Blood and Merits will answer all, what the word saith, or any true Consequence that is drawn ⟨p. 114⟩there-from, that we may boldly venture upon; As here in the Text, he saith; And Him that cometh; indefinitetively; without the least intimation of the rejection of any, though never so great, if he be a coming-sinner. Take it then for granted, that thou, whoever thou art, if coming, art intended in these words: neither shall it injure Christ at all, if, as Benhadad's Servants served Ahab, thou shalt catch him at his word. Now, saith the Text, The Men did diligently observe whether any thing would come from him; to wit, any word of grace; and did hastily catch it: And it happened, that Ahab called Benhadad, his brother. The men replied therefore, Thy brother Benhadad? catching him at his word, 1 King 20. 33. Sinner, coming sinner, serve Jesus Christ thus, and he will take it kindly at thy hands. When he in his argument called the Canaanitish woman, Dog, she catched him at it, and said; Truth Lord, yet the Dogs eat of the Crumbs that fall from their Masters Table. I say, she catched him thus in his words, and he took it kindly; saying, O woman, great is thy faith! be it unto thee even as thou wilt, Mat. 15. 26. Catch him, coming sinner, catch him.
