Christ inviting sinners to come to him for rest

Fourthly, The sinfulness of our Nature is a burden in this respect, to have not only matter to entertain temptation, but it hath in it a Root from whence, (if God doth not come in with his Grace) all kind of sin may spring up from it, though there should be no kind of temptation, many of us do cry out of the Devil and temptation when we are overcome by sin, but consider what I say, there is not only that evil in your hearts that you are ready to entertain all temptations, but there is that evil in your hearts that would breed all kind of evils whatsoever, though there should be no temptation, though there were no Devil in Hell; as thus now, you know there are the seeds of weeds in the ground, though it is true, they do not come up to flourish till the rain and the Sun draws them forth, yet still there are the seeds of those weeds, so as they would come up in time though not so soon, that except they be rooted up, they will come up in time; so it is here, there is not only injections of the Devil in us, but our corrupt heart riseth to it, it is one thing to have some filthy thing cast upon us, and another thing to have the Body so rotten that a stinking steam should come from the Body it self, one may have some unsavoury thing cast upon him and so be unsavoury, but when the Body is rotten and that cast upon one, that would be more unsavoury, so it is here, may be the Devil may bring some temptation ⟨p. 90⟩upon us and make some disturbance in our heart, I but there is that in our Hearts that will make as great a disturbance in our souls as the Devil can.
