Christ inviting sinners to come to him for rest

But now for the promise it self. We read in the 16. of Isai. the first verse, that Christ says, The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord hath anointed me to Preach good tidings unto the meek, he hath sent me to bind up the broken Hearted, to proclaim liberty to the Captives, and the opening of the prison to those that are bound, to proclaim the acceptable Year of the Lord, and the day of Vengeance of our God, to comfort all that Mourn, &c. Here we have a prophecy of Christ, and in this my Text, this prophecy of Christ is fulfilled, Christ is come here in the Text, to Preach good tidings to the meek, to bind up the broken Hearted, to proclaim liberty to the Captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound, all this is ⟨p. 187⟩contained in this promise, I will give you Rest. Rest is that that all creatures in the world desire, the end of all motion is Rest, so the Philosophers say, the end of motion is quietness, it is the end of all motion whatsoever, if the creature were where it would be, and had what it would have, then it had Rest. But now in motion, what is the Reason that the fire ascends upwards? but because the proper place of the fire is above: and that the Earth, and all heavy things fall downward? But because their proper place is below; but let them be where they would be, and have what they would have, and then they are at Rest.
