1 Let this be an invitation and encouragement 1to you to come in to Christ, and to embrace the Gospel. 1 Though your sins ⟨p. 64⟩be great, yet they are not so great as the mercies of God. The mercy of God is compared to a sea; the sea, you know, is a very great deep. A great Leviathan may be covered in the sea, as well as a little fish; a great rock as well as a little pebble. A remarkable place you have, Isa. 44. 22. 2I have blotted out as a thick cloud thy transgressions, and as a cloud thy sins; return unto me, for I have redeemed thee. The Sun can scatter both thick and thin clouds.
