Christ inviting sinners to come to him for rest

Fourthly, You that labour under any outward trouble or Affliction in this world. All you that are in any sad condition, that have any burdens upon you outwardly; if you come to Christ he will ease you of them; though perhaps he will not take them from you, though you may be under the affliction as before, yet you shall have rest and ease in them. Have you any burden of poverty? Have you any Burden in your Children? Have you any burden in your Yoke fellows? Or burden by reason of weakness in Body? if you will have rest, you must go for it to Chirst. Many when they are under any outward affliction, they go no further then the creature for rest. Oh! if I had but good friends, I should be happy; or if I had but an Estate I should be well. But if thy poverty did work upon thy heart kindly, it would drive thee to Christ, and make thee to say, true I am poor in this world; but there is enough in Christ to make me Rich; there is mercy enough in Christ to make my life comfortable, to make me who am for the present in a miserable Condition, happy for ever. Those that are poor outwardly, they should go to Christ, if their poverty did drive them to Christ it were a good ⟨p. 14⟩sign that the Lord did Sanctify their poverty unto them.
