Christ inviting sinners to come to him for rest

Nine means to draw Sinners to Christ, namely, That 1. He that ca•s us is the Son of God. ⟨image 10⟩2. He is our near Kinsman, (wherein three strong arguments are included. First, the terror of Gods glory is taken away. Secondly, He is infinitely inclined to do good unto the Sons of men. Thirdly, In uniting the divine nature with the humane, he hath done a greater work than to save a soul.) 3. He is the mediator. 4. He deserves that we should come to him. 5. The soul gets infinite good by coming to Christ, instanced in four particulars. 6. We are miserable in our selves. 7. Christ will certainly receive them that come to him, which is opened in three particulars. 8. We stand in great need of Christ. 9. The not coming to Christ will aggravate all other sins. With an answer unto some Objections. Page 156 Chap. 23. The Doctrine arising from the dependence of the promise upon the Invitation, That God will have us when we are coming to Christ, to have respect to our selves. Page 179 Chap. 24. Of the rest promised by Christ in general: And that there is no Rest for a Soul out of Jesus Christ. Page 186 Chap. 25. Six Reasons of the former Doctrine. 1.

In a m•n out of Christ there is every thing to disquiet him. 5. Every one out of Christ is condemned. 6. Such every moment may be plunged into a gulf of Wrath. Page 196 Chap. 26. Containeth, I.

All the ways of Gods providence are ⟨image 10⟩against them. 4. All their best services are rejected. 5. They have no refuge for comfort. III. Two conclusions from the premises. 1 Most men live and perish in blindness. 2 There is an insufficiency in all things out of Christ, to give rest; with the Reasons thereof.
