Christ inviting sinners to come to him for rest

First, There are some that are so vile, as the chiefest Rest and comfort of their Souls is in the pleasure of sin, in the delight that they do take in satisfying of their sinful lusts, that is the comfort and Rest of their Souls, if they be troubled at home, Wife, Children, or Servants do but trouble them, what do they do to ease themselves, they go abroad among company, and there drink, and play, and swear, and perhaps be unclean. And others, when they are crossed, how do they ease themselves by venting their passion, and the truth is, it is a most holy truth I am speaking of, Oh! That ever it should enter into the Heart of a creature, to make it to be the greatest quiet, ease, and Rest of his Soul, to satisfy himself in sinning against the blessed God, and yet, I appeal unto you, do not your consciences tell you, some of you, that ⟨p. 211⟩this is your condition? And do you not know Men, that the greatest comfort, ease, quiet and Rest of heart that they have in this world, is in the satisfying of their sinful lusts? How far is this from seeking out Rest in Christ, in the Son of God, in the great Mediator of the Covenant; yet this is the condition of most people, take away the satisfaction of their Souls in their sinful lusts, and they have nothing to quiet their Hearts with, but when they are there, now they are safe, now they are quiet. Do but consider of this one thing that now I am speaking of, That to have Rest, and quiet, in any way of sin, it is no other, but just as if a man had a burning Fever, and he calls for a pot of Water, gets it to his mouth, and drinks it up every drop; now in the very time he is pouring this down his Throat, he hath some Rest, some ease, he finds some ease from the fit of the fever while he is drinking down the pot of Water; but do you think this will be Rest to him? Do but stay a quarter of an hour, or may be an hour or two, then you will find him in his scalding burning fit, then he burns ten times more than he did before, and it is like to cost him his life, but he finds trouble and disquiet, and that gives him ease, and therefore he drinks it down and this endangers his Life afterwards.
