Christ inviting sinners to come to him for rest

Secondly, The Rest that the soul hath in Christ, it is that that the Apostle speaks of in Heb. 14, It comes upon the souls ceasing from its own work, as God ceased from his, verse the 10. For he that is entered into his Rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. As God did Rest the seventh day from all his works, he gives that note of the rest in Christ. There remains therefore a rest to the people of God, for he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God ceased from his. He compares the rest that the soul hath in Christ, to Gods rest upon the seventh day. Now saith he, as God seized from his work that he wrought upon the sixth day, & the seventh day he rested, so whatsoever enters upon this rest, he must cease from his ⟨p. 384⟩own works what is that? The work that a man works for himself, as in his natural estate, every man in his natural estate doth not Gods work at all, but works his own work. Now, saith he, look as God ceaseth from his own work, and then rests, they that enter into this rest must cease from their own works, those works of sin that they lived in, and wrought for themselves, for their own ends, while they were in their natural estates; so that then examine this, hast thou cea•ed from thy own works? dost not thou work for thy self in all thy ways? Art thou taken off from thy self and all the creatures? It may be thou dost some work, but materially it is nothing of Gods, thou prayest and makest profession of religion, I but it is thy own work still. But if thou beest entered into this rest, thou must cease from thine own works, not only from those works that are sinful in themselves, but thou must not work for thy self in the best things, thou must be taken off from thy self in the best things, thou must work the works of God, and be emptied of thy self, and then thy soul shall have rest, That is both an evidence that thy rest is true, and a means to bring rest unto thy soul.

Secondly, The Rest that the soul hath in Christ, it is that that the Apostle speakes of in Heb. 14, It comes upon the soules ceasing from its owne worke, as God ceased from his, verse the 10. For he that is entred into his Rest, he also hath ceased from his owne workes, as God did from his. As God did Rest the seventh day from al his workes, he gives that note of the rest in Christ. There remaines therefore a rest to the people of God, for he that is entred into his rest, he also hath ceased from his owne workes, as God ceased from his. He comepares the rest that the soul hath in Christ, to Gods rest upon the seventh day. Now saith he, as God seased from his work that he wrougt upon the sixth day, & the seventh day he rested, so whatsoever enters upon this rest, he must cease from his
