God hath done great things for your souls, he hath drawn you out of the miserable state of sin and wrath, and that when he let others go, by nature as good as you, he hath drawn you into Union with Christ, and Communion with his glorious privileges. O that you would henceforth employ all the power you have for ⟨p. 90⟩God in duties of obedience, and in drawing others to Christ as much as in you lies, and say continually with the Church, Draw me, we will run after thee.
