Christ inviting sinners to come to him for rest

No they have other things in their heads, their Farms, their Yoke of Oxen, their profits and pleasures, what will they reject such grace and favour, when I invite them to come to the marriage of my son, verily, saith God, they shall never have any good by Jesus Christ. Oh! it were a dreadful doom to be past upon any soul, God forbid it should be past upon any soul, and yet when we come to open the grace of God in Jesus Christ in the ministry of the Word, we cannot speak of it without trembling hearts, without fear, least some should be hardened, and so God provoked by their resisting of thi• grace of his, this man, and this woman that sits upon such a stool, that is not taken with this grace of God offered in Jesus Christ, they shall never taste of my supper.
