Christ inviting sinners to come to him for rest

Seventhly, And then in the next place, the soul that is truly burdened with sin had rather ten thousand times have any burden upon it, then the burden of sin; there was a time that sin was delightful to me, but now I would rather have any burden upon me then this, I did before think, that those that wanted the comfort of the creature, and were outwardly poor, and mean, were miserable, but now had I all the outward miseries in the world upon my back, I had rather bear them all then this burden; I have felt much affliction in my days, but this burden and this weight, is most grievous and heaviest of all, Oh! if the lord would but take off this weight, and this burden from me, let him lay what weight and burden upon me he will. Thus the soul that is rightly burdened with sin is affected.
