III. CONSIDERATION.
Consider who it is that makes these gracious tenders of pardon, peace, and Salvation, to you; even that God whom you have so deeply wronged, whose Laws you have violated, whose mercies you have spurned, and whose wrath you have justly incensed. His patience groans under the burden of your daily provocations; he loses nothing if you be damned, and receives no benefit if you be saved; yet the first motions of Mercy and Salvation to you, freely arise out of his Grace and good pleasure. God entreats you to be reconciled, 2 Cor. 5. 20. The blessed Lord Jesus, whose blood thy sins have shed, now freely offers that blood for thy Reconciliation, Justification, and Salvation, if thou wilt but sincerely accept him ere it be too late.
