Christ inviting sinners to come to him for rest

Fifthly, The Corruption that remains in us it brings a burden of Labour and toil, for there is no such intensiveness in any labour in the world as a Christian hath against his corruptions, he doth not only say as many slight and vain spirited men and women do, Lord have mercy upon me, and we are all sinners, and I would do otherwise I have good desires: no, but a Christian knows that he must draw forth all the faculties of his soul and bend them against his corruption, and if ever he Toil, Labour, and spend his strength, it must be in this way against his corruption, now there is ease in Christ for this burden too, Why? because Christ gives power against corruption, the way of rest in him is by coming to him, so that we shall not need to toil and Labour in them as before; now if grief be a burden, shame a burden, Fear a burden, care a burden, and if Labouring and Toiling be a burden, then those that are Godly are under a great burden in regard of their Corruption, this five-fold burden.
