1. Refuse him not, and do not trifle away your precious souls, whiles you 1have a day of grace, and a Covenant of grace tendered unto you to come in; Beware you refuse not him that speaketh, neither neglect so great salvation. God neither will, nor possibly can fall lower or easier than he doth with you in his gracious Covenant.

- 1Refuse not Gods offer.
2. Fear not whether you shall be looked on, or received of God: he saith he will 1receive you graciously; If a company of poor men were invited by a rich man, Come and I will give you money, and receive and feed you freely, you shall have all your wants supplied freely, would they be afraid to accept the offer? Do not make another Covenant than God is willing to make with you; neither make any other Articles than God himself hath annexed unto this Covenant; he saith it is a gracious Covenant; say not you it is not so; he hath said he will receive you graciously a say not you but he will not; he saith that he will love you freely, and justify you freely, and save you freely; do not you say, But God will do none of these; O no! God is truth it self, and he will perform the truth to Jacob, and his mercy to Abraham, Micah 7. 20. Therefore fear not, but catch and take hold on this grace of God.
