- 1Exhor•at. to come in to embrace godliness, to joy•e with the Saints.
All you wicked ones that hath forsaken the Lord hitherto, come in & join now, and submit unto Jesus Christ as your Head, for great shall be the day of Jezreel. There is a great day for the Church of God, a day of glory, a day of abundance of wonderful mercy of God to the Churches. They shall have their day; come you in and embrace Religion, that you may partake of their glory. Certainly the Saints of God shall have the better of it: shall have the day of all the world, let the world strive against them what they can. Every man desires to follow the stronger party and to cleave to that: would you cleave to the stronger part? Cleave to the Saints of God, to the Church, for certainly it is the stronger part; It is a going up, it is rising, and will rise more and more till it be risen unto the height. Though there be some opposition, yet it is such as shall make the glory of the day so much the more.
