1. Conviction of our sin and misery makes these terms of Religion acceptable; poor sinners stand huckling with Christ, excepting and objecting against his terms until the Lord have shaken them by Conviction over Hell, made them to see the dreadful danger they are in; and then the next cry is, Men and Brethren what shall we do, Acts 2. 37. q. d.

2ly, Nor will Souls ever comply with these terms of the Gospel until a discovery have been made to them of Jesus Christ in his glory and necessity; when a Man feels his wants, and sees a complete remedy, his Will then complies and bows, readily and freely; the convinced sinner sees a full and suitable supply in Christ for all his wants; a complete Saviour in whom there is nothing defective, but in all respects according to the wish of a sinners heart, 1 Cor. 1. 24.
