Use 2. Here is an Invitation to press us to come to Christ, or by Christ to God, Christ is worth a thousand of us. We are to seek a Match for our Master's Son. Our way to win you, is to tell you what he is; that those who have given up their Names to him may keep themselves as pure Virgins till his Coming. 2 Cor. 11.2. I am jealous over you with godly Jealousy: for I have espoused you to one Husband, that I may present you as a chaste Virgin unto Christ. Now that you may be wrought upon, I will tell you what he is; he is God-Man in one Person: he is Man, that you may not be afraid of him; and God, that he may do you good: He is the Lord of Lords, the King of Kings, the Heir of all things, the Saviour of the World, a proper Object for your Faith; 1 Pet. 1.21. Who by him do believe in God, who raised him up from the dead, and gave him Glory, that your Faith and Hope might be in God. He knows your Wants, and is able to supply them: yea, he is able to save them to the uttermost, that come unto God by him, Heb. 7.25. Tho we are unworthy, yet he needeth no Portion with us; we can bring nothing to him, but he hath enough in himself, I am God All-sufficient; as Esther had all things for her Purification given ⟨p. 153⟩her at the King's Cost. Nay, it is danger to neglect him; Heb. 12.25. See that ye refuse not him that speaketh: for if they escaped not who refused him that spake on Earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from Heaven. It is God wooeth you, he will take you with nothing; you bring him nothing but Necessity, but he will pay all your Debts. Nay, nothing can hurt you, as long as he is on your side, Rom. 8.31. If God be for us, who can be against us? Do not leave then, till you can say as Thomas, Joh. 20.28. My Lord, and my God. Take him, but give him the Honour of a God, Adoration, Invocation, Faith and Love.
