Christ inviting sinners to come to him for rest

ARG. VI.

Sixthly, For a further argument of drawing the Heart unto Jesus Christ when he calls to come to him, consider, what a poor wretch thou art in thy self, a vile, base, forlorn, Deformed, Miserable, Succourless, Helpless, Shiftless Creature, a Beggar. If a Prince as he goes along in the Streets, seeing a poor Beggar lying upon the ground in the dirt, should be pleased to call to such a creature, and say to him, come to me, would it not revive his Spirit? If one should tell him the King the Prince calls, how would he stir himself. Now thou art the poorest Creature in the world, never any poor creature that lay grovelling in the dirt full of Sores and wounds, was in a worse condition then thou art, when thou seest such a one, think that thy condition is far worse then his. If the King were going in his Robes to the Parliament a long the streets, and should see such a poor creature lying by the Walls, and should take special notice of him, and call him to him, and say, let that poor creature come to me, it would encourage him exceedingly; this invitation from Christ is just the very same, for the Lord Jesus Christ sees thee lying in thy gore blood, as it is described in Ezekiel. 16. where the miserable condition of them that are in their Natural estate is most elegantly set down, they lay in their blood, none Eye pitied them, then I came, saith God▪ and said unto thee live, and this time was the time of Love, so when thou liest in thy poor, wretched, miserable condition, in thy filth, in thy baseness, in the Gall of bitterness, and bond of iniquity, this blessed Redeemer this great Prince of all the world, he calls to thee and says, Oh! thou poor creature, Come to me.
