Christ inviting sinners to come to him for rest

First, From this deliverance we are taught, to entertain the hearing of the Threats of the Law, I speak to believers, though others may make an ill use in hearing the deliverance from the Law, yet they must not miss their Portion. I say believers are hereby taught how to receive the Threats of the Law, you hear dreadful threats of the Law out of Gods word against sin. Now how shouldest thou entertain these threats? The way is ⟨p. 252⟩this, when thou hearest such threats know, that God by this would have thee to consider, what his mercy is, in delivering of thee from what thou hast deserved. God would have thee to consider what the evil of sin is in it self, and to consider what Christ hath done, God would have thee to be driven to Christ by this means, to see thy need of Christ, to bless his name for Christ, and to prize Christ, who hath delivered thee from these threatenings. A believer, when he hears the threats of the Law, is like a man that stands upon the shore, when there is a grievous tempest and storm, he sees the waves rise high, hears the winds blow, and the waves roar but he stands safe upon the haven, indeed he was in the storm and tempest, but God hath brought him to the haven, and there he stands and blesseth God, It may be he sees other ships a great way off ready to be split upon the rocks, or swallowed up, but he is safe on the shore, so it should be with all believers, when they hear the threatenings of the law, they should entertain them with blessing of the name of God, there was a time that my soul was under these as well as any, but now the Lord hath delivered me, and brought me under another Covenant, brought me to his son, to Christ, and he hath undertaken to satisfy the Law for my soul, and so the believer stands upon the shore, and praises God, and this makes him love Christ so much the more, prize Christ so much the more, and bless the name of God that ever he heard the voice of the Gospel sounding in his ears: and therefore it is not tedious and grievous to him to hear the dreadful threatenings of the Law, he knows how to make a holy use of them, his heart is drawn nearer to God by it as well as by the promises of the Gospel.
