2. Nay, these Persons finding Jesus Christ to be the true and great Saviour, they may taste the Word, or believe with some kind of Joy, though it be a false Joy; Who would not be saved, or have Christ as a Saviour? This they like, they would be ⟨p. 338⟩saved from Hell and Wrath, but do not consider that Christ came to save his People from their Sins; He will save none who abide in their Sins, who hold them fast, and resolve not to let them go: Many may taste some sweetness in hearing of the Power of Christ to save, who go on presumptuously in their ungodly Practices: It is expressly said, that the stony-ground Hearers received the Word with joy, they had a taste of it. A common Faith seems to give a 1taste, the Name of a Saviour relishes sweet.
