Only one thing more in this point, before we shall come unto the next, and that is, to show the insufficiency that there is in all things in the world to give Rest unto the Soul till we come to Christ: Al men out of Christ are in a Restless condition: There is an insufficiency in all things in the world to give Rest till we come to Christ.

And for that I shall give two or three Reasons.
I. First, Because the Rest of an immortal Soul must needs be in the reference it hath to God; Now all the ⟨p. 209⟩Transactions between God and us, are only in the hand of Christ, it is not committed unto any creature, to transact any thing between God and us for any good, but through Christ; now then, if all our Rest must needs be in our reference unto God, and all the Transactions between God and us must be in the hand of Christ the Mediator, then certainly, there is an insufficiency in all things in the world to give Rest unto our souls.
