Christ inviting sinners to come to him for rest

And the Lord thy God will circumcise thy heart, & the heart of thy seed, to love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul that thou mayest live· The Lord will do it, the Lord commands me to do it, and yet withal the Lord saith that he will do it. I might instance in a great many other particulars, that the Lord requires first what ⟨p. 273⟩we should do, and if we be left here, now it is hard indeed, but then if we can find a promise where God promises that he will do it for us, this will be easier to us. And indeed this is the difference between the Law and the Gospel, the Law commands us what to do, and gives no strength, but the Gospel never commands us to do any duty, but there is a promise that engageth the Lord to help the soul in the performance of that duty. And now, is not here rest for the soul? when the soul shall look upon the large extent of the duty that the Law of God requires of it: The Law requires of me to love the Lord with all my heart, and with all my soul, and with all my might, and to keep his commandments and statutes, and to circumcise my heart, Lord! what shall I do in this? Now then when the soul can look upon Christ, & the covenant of grace, & consider, that that runs thus that the Lord will circumcise my heart, that I may love the lord with all my heart, & with all my soul & that I may keep his commandments & his statutes, that God doth as well engage himself to enable me to do the duty, as he doth require me to do the duty, now here is rest unto the soul.

And the Lord thy God wil circumcise thy heart, & the heart of thy seed, to love the Lord thy God with al thy heart and with al thy soul that thou maist live· The Lord wil do it, the Lord commands me to do it, and yet withal the Lord saith that he wil do it. I might instance in a great many other particulars, that the Lord requires first what ⟨p. 273⟩we should do, and if we be left here, now it is hard indeed, but then if we can find a promise where God promises that he wil do it for us, this wil be easier to us. And indeed this is the diffierence between the Law and the Gospel, the Law commands us what to do, and gives no strength, but the Gospel never commands us to do any duty, but there is a promise that engageth the Lord to help the soul in the performance of that duty. And now, is not here rest for the soul? when the soul shal look upon the large extent of the duty that the Law of God requires of it: The Law requires of me to love the Lord with al my heart, and with al my soul, and with al my might, and to keep his commandements and statutes, and to circumcise my heart, Lord! what shal I do in this? Now then when the soul can look upon Christ, & the covenant of grace, & consider, that that runs thus that the Lord wil circumcise my heart, that I may love the lord with al my heart, & with al my soul & that I may keep his commandements & his statutes, that God doth as wel ingage himself to inable me to do the duty, as he doth require me to do the duty, now here is rest unto the soule.
