3 You must study •he condition upon which Christ is promised. 1It is certain Christ is not tendered absolutely without any condition. Christ is not offered to a proud sinner, resolving so to continue, or to a Drunkard, resolving to persevere in his drunkenness. Those Texts which declare the Freeness of the offer of Christ, do also mention a condition to be performed by those that will have him, Isa. 55. 1. Revelat. 22. 15. In both places the ⟨p. 181⟩condition of thirsting is expressed. Let him that is a thirst come. Ho every one that thirsteth.
