Christ inviting sinners to come to him for rest

The 8. Burden of Legal Performances.

8. Those that perform duties in a mere legal way, the the truth is, let them •oll never so much in that way, they can never attain to their end; let them •oil never so much, perform duties never so many, increase their duties a ⟨p. 60⟩thousand fold, yet they can never attain unto their end▪ Their end what is that? you will say, Their end is, that they might have peace with God, live and have eternal life; it is true, base hypocrites look at profit, many will make a show of religion, get into houses, and talk of good things, that they may get good cheer, meat and drink, and a little gain, being of a poor, and unworthy Spirit, but I speak of those that are grown higher then thu•, those that perform duties out of conscience, and yet never attain to their end, nor never will attain to their end in this way, till they come to know more of Christ; I speak of such as desire rest to their souls, yet in this way of legal performances never gain this rest to their souls, and and therefore it must needs be burdensome unto them.
