Christ inviting sinners to come to him for rest

Object. You will say, Others know this as well as believers.

It is true, they know it after a sort, but none can know this throughly, but those that through faith have the real sight of Christ, and so have the real sight of the evil of sin, in Christ.

Secondly, another strong argument of the evil of sin in Christ is this, the infinite hatred of sin in God, that God should so infinitely hate sin, that he would not spare his own son, this shows the evil of sin. We hear much of hell and of the terror of the Law, now when I come to consider the fruit of Gods hatred of Sin in his son, this shows me a great deal more the evil of sin, And therefore, though the terror of the law may restrain men from sin, I but when the soul comes to know the infinite wrath of God against sin, that he would give his son to satisfy for sin, this shows the evil of sin, and this shows the infinite holiness of God, that he would send his only son to purchase holiness. And in this we see the infinite love of Christ to die for sin, the infinite price of the soul to purchase it, and the infinite difficulty in the deliverance from sin, and nothing can prevail upon the heart more then the viewing of Christ. There is so many things that I cannot speak of them, that when the soul comes to Christ, makes the soul hate sin, and makes it in love with holiness. The knowledge of Christ in any common way, hath as much power to restrain sin as any thing, but now the knowledge of Christ in a spiritual way, in a saving way, it hath an infinite efficacy in it. And the truth is, the special way for a soul to help it self against its own corruptions, it is much to dive into the knowledge of the Gospel, look into the Gospel, pry into the mystery of the Gospel, be much conversant in the mystery of the Gospel, and there consider what argument thou mayest draw against thy
