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

Peter. There is for every one of you. Repent and be Baptized every one of you in the Name of Jesus Christ, for the Remission of Sins, and ye shall receive the Gift of the Holy Ghost. Oh! what a blessed Every one of you, i• here! How willing was Peter and the Lord Jesus, by his Ministry, to catch these Murderers with the Word of the Gospel, that they might be made Monuments of the Grace of God! How unwilling, I say, was he, that any of these should escape the hand of Mercy! Yea, what an amazing wonder is it, to think, that above all the World, and above every body in it, These should have the first offer of Mercy! Beginning at Jerusalem.

But was there not something of moment in this Clause of the Commission? Did not Peter, think you, see a great deal in it, that he should thus begin with ⟨p. 17⟩these men, and thus offer, so particularly, this Grace to each particular man of them?

But, as I told you, This is not all. These Jerusalem-sinners must have this offer again and again; Every one of them, must be offered it over and over. Christ would not take their first rejection for a denial; nor their second repulse for a denial: But he will have Grace offered once, and twice, and thrice, to these Jerusalem-sinners. Is not this amazing Grace! Christ will not be put off. These are the Sinners, that are sinners indeed. They are Sinners of the biggest sort, consequently such as Christ can, if they convert and be saved, best serve his ends and designs upon. Of which more anon.
