How often would I have gathered thy Children together, as a Hen gathereth her Chickens under her Wings, and ye would not? Matth. 23. 37. I say, he speaks it by way of Complaint. He saith also in another place; But thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob; but thou hast been weary of me, O Israel; Isa. 43. 22. Coming-Sinner, See here the Willingness of Christ to Save; See here, how Free he is to communicate Life, and all good Things, to such as thou art? He complains, if thou comes not; he is displeased, if thou callest not upon him.

Hark, Coming-Sinner, once again; When Jerusalem would not come to him for Safe-guard, He behold the City, and wept over it, saying; If thou hadst ⟨p. 292⟩known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the Things that belong to thy Peace; but now they are hid from thine Eyes, Luk. 19. 41.

Luk. 15.
