III.1 If Christ be put off and refused now, you may never taste of those invaluable mercies for ever, Luke 14. 24. For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper. They were bidden, invited to this feast, and so are you; they refused to come, God grant you may not; for methinks this sentence of Christ, Those men which were bidden shall not taste of my supper; is like the sentence upon a malefactor that is to be hanged in chains, and whom the Law permits none to relieve. O 'twill bed readful to see the Saints sitting at the Royal feast in Heaven, and your selves shut out; as a company of starving beggars standing in the Streets, and about the doors where the marriage supper is kept; they see the lights, they behold the rich dishes carried up, they hear the mirth and music of the guests, but not a bit comes to their share.
