Christ inviting sinners to come to him for rest

The way of God in conveyance of grace unto the soul, is not this, in giving you reason to understand that such and such things are naught, and therefore for your own ease and quiet in the world you must live civilly, but the way of God is to reveal his son to you, and reveal a necessity of union with Christ, to be made a member of him, and to draw virtue from him as from a head, and to see a fountain of life from him flowing into thy heart continually, so as to repair to Jesus Christ the second person in trinity, made man for thy soul. I say, to repair to him as the fountain of all grace to be conveyed from him unto the soul, here is the mystery of holiness ⟨p. 333⟩that is beyond all the civility and morality in the world. Oh that you did but by this point understand somewhat of the mystery of Godliness and that it might cause but some suspicious thoughts in the hearts of those that have lived but civilly and morally, that for many years together it may be have bin good neighbours, pay every one their own and no body can accuse them for wrong, but Oh that they would bethink themselves, well, I have lived thus and thus long, but hath my soul bin acquainted with the mystery of the Gospel, to fetch virtue from Christ as a mediator? And have I a stock of grace from him to trade by, that what I trade by I have from him? Have I found the burden of my inward corruption? And have I got ease and rest by virtue of the promises of the Gospel? And have I searched into the Covenant of Grace, and found there promises to convey comfort unto my soul? Hath my heart been exercised after this manner? Certainly, if thou hast not, thou knowest not what the way of the Gospel is, what an evangelical life is, what is a true evangelical life. When the soul is enabled to live upon Christ, that thou feelest thy heart live upon Christ, sucking and drawing virtue from Christ, for the mortifying of thy corruptions and quickening thy heart in the way of holiness, this is a true evangelical life, and that is another consequence drawn from this, That Godliness is a mystery, and beyond civility and morality.
