The Jerusalem-sinner saved, or, Good news for the vilest of men being a help…

Nor will Christ Jesus miss of his design in proffering of Mercy in the first place to the biggest Sinners. You know what work the Lord, by laying hold of the Woman of Samaria, made among the People there. They knew that she was a Town-Sinner, an Adultress. Yea, one that after the most audacious manner, lived in Uncleanness with a man that was not her Husband. But when she, from a turn upon her Heart, went into the City, and said to her Neighbours, Come: Oh how they came! how they flocked out of the City to Jesus Christ! Then they went out of the City, and came to him, and many of the Samaritans (People perhaps as bad as her self) believed on him, for the saying of the woman, which testified, saying, He told me all that ever I did (John 4.39.)

That word, He told me all that ever I did, was a great Argument with them; for by that they gathered, That tho he knew her to be vile, yet he did not despise her, nor refuse to show how willing he was to communicate his Grace unto ⟨p. 44⟩her: And this fetched over, fi•st, her, then them.
