Thus the Sense of Unworthiness, creates and heightens Fears in the Hearts of them that are coming to Jesus Christ; But indeed, it should not: For, who needs the Physician, but the Sick? Or, who did Christ come into the World to Save, but the Chief of Sinners? (Mar. 1. 17. 1 Tim. 1. 15.) Wherefore, ⟨p. 210⟩the more thou feest thy Sins, the faster fly thou to Jesus Christ. And let the Sense of thy own Unworthiness, prevail with thee yet to go faster. As it is with the Man that carrieth his broken Arm in a Sling to the Bone-setter; still as he thinks of his broken Arm, and as he feels the Pain and Anguish, he hastens his Pace to the Man: And if Satan meets thee, and asketh, Whether goest thou? Tell him, Thou art Maimed, and art going to the Lord Jesus. If he objects thine own Unworthiness, Tell him; That even as the Sick seeketh the Physician, and as he that hath broken Bones, seeks him that can Set them: So thou art going to Jesus Christ for Cure and Healing, for thy Sin-sick-Soul.

Or, who did Christ come into the World to Save, but the Chief of Sinners? (Mar. 1. 17. 1 Tim. 1. 15.) Wherefore, ⟨p. 210⟩the more thou feest thy Sins, the faster fly thou to Jesus Christ.
