Behold the party I will have redeemed, and the Lord takes him as his Charge, and provides for him, both to bring him to himself, and so to Life and Salvation, which he hath purchased, and possesseth, and can communicate. The Soul as yet consents not, nor hath the powerful impression of Gods Grace come home to the heart: God gives the Soul, the Soul doth not yet give up it self, but God giving to Christ, as his charge put, and passing under his care; He undertakes to get the good will of the Soul, and to bring it to himself, and through himself to Life and Glory.
