Reader, If thou lovest thy Soul, take this Caution kindly at the hands of Jesus Christ. Thou seest thy Sickness, thy Wound, thy necessity of Salvation; well, go not to King Jareb, for he cannot Heal thee, nor Cure thee of thy ⟨p. 138⟩Wound (Hos. 5. 13.) Take the Caution, I say, lest Christ, instead of being a Saviour to thee, becomes a Lion, a young Lion to tare thee, and go away, vers. 14.

And him that cometh [To me.] Christ, as a Saviour, will stand alone, because his own Arm above hath brought Salvation unto him; He will not be joined with Moses, nor suffer John Baptist to be tabernacled by him: I say, they must vanish, for Christ will stand alone, (Luk 9. 28, 36.) yea, God the Father will have it so; therefore, they must be parted from him, and a Voice from Heaven must come to bid the Disciples hear, only the beloved Son. Christ will not suffer any Law, Ordinance, Statute, or Judgement, to be partners with him in the salvation of the Sinner. Nay, he saith not, And him that cometh to my Word; but, And him that cometh to me. The words of Christ, even his most blessed and free Promises, such as this in the Text, are not the Saviour of the World;
