ARG. IX.
Ninthly: Yea, Further, Christ is such a one, as all the creatures one day will see a need of him, Yea, all that live under the sound of the Gospel, they shall see a need of him, and they shall curse themselves that when they lived under the sound of the Gospel, and were called to come to Jesus Christ, that yet notwithstanding they would satisfy themselves in the lusts of their spirits, Christ came from Heaven once to us in the days of his flesh, but know, that Jesus Christ shall come again in his Glory, with all his Angels, all his Saints about him, and then how happy will those appear, that in the time of their lives, when they were called by the Ministry of the Gospel did come to Jesus Christ. When Christ comes thus in his Glory, perhaps you would then all go to Jesus Christ, no friend, if you will stay till then, you will hea• another voice from Christ, he will not come to call sinners to come to him then, but he will come to bid them depart from him, for all that the father gives him do come to him before then.
