Love to Christ, necessary to escape the curse at his coming

4. Art thou not indebted? Owest thou not Millions to God? Hast thou a Mite to pay? If God demand satisfaction from thee, will it not prove thy Damnation? If Justice pursue thee, Death Arrest ⟨p. 153⟩thee, will not Devils seize thy Soul, and hale it to the Prison of Hell, from whence thou shalt not be delivered, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing, which will never be? This Christ, if thou wilt but love him, will be thy Bail, become thy Surety, and make payment of thy Debt, and give thee a Discharge.

5. Art thou not polluted and unclean? Hath not the Leprosy of Sin overspread thy Understanding, Will, Conscience, Memory, and all thine Affections? So that thou art defiled all over, liest wallowing in thy Blood, art cast out to the loathing of thy person; and canst thou, in this filthy case, enter into the holy Kingdom of God? If thou wilt give him thy Love, he will take away thy filthy Rags, and give thee change of Raiment, Zac. 3.1, 2, 3. If thou wilt come to him with Faith and Love, and say, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean, he in Love to thee will say, I will, be thou clean, Mat. 8.2, 3. He will make for thee a Bath of his own Blood, and his Blood shall cleanse thee from all thy Sins, 1 Joh. 1.7. Yea, though they be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool, Isa. 1.18.

If thou wilt give him thy Love, he will take away thy silthy Rags, and give thee change of Raiment,
