Christ inviting sinners to come to him for rest

Thirdly, In Christ now thy condition is such, that though there be never so many imperfections, never so many weaknesses, Yea, strong Corruptions, yet if there be but the least Spiritual good, the least work of Gods Grace in thee, the Lord hath a special Eye to that little good that there is in thee, and all thy Corruptions, all thy imperfections shall not hinder the acceptation of the little spark of good that is in thy Soul, this is our freedom by Christ: For in the opening of the Law, there I showed, that whatever good man doth do being under the Law, let it be what it will, yet except it be perfect, it is all rejected. All that are in their natural condition, and under the first Covenant, whatever they do, if there be any imperfection mingled with it, it is not at all accepted, but here is the Rest that believers have, that the case is altered with them. Now though there be much corruption remaining in them, if the Lord sees but one spark of grace, though never so weak, though it be but as the smoking flax, as the bruised Reed, yet they are accepted of God, having but the least spark of any good at all in them: this is a mighty ease to the Souls of those that labour under the bondage of the Law, That before seeing so much Corruption in their Hearts they had little Hopes of acceptation of any thing that was in them, now the Lord hath regard to any thing that is good, be it never so small, Yea, And he will find it out too. Perhaps thy Grace may be so small, that it may be buried in the he•• of Corruption, that thou shalt not be able to find it out. The condition of some Christians is, as a Maid that shall go in the morning to the hearth, and there raking up and down in the ashes, to see if she can find some spark of fire, and she finds none, and is ready to think there is none there, but perhaps there may some spark lie in a corner, though she finds it not:
