Christ the best husband

2. Christ doth invite all the children of men, and particularly the Daughters of men, to be his Spouse; this is that which they are invited unto in the Text. It is upon this account that Christ doth send his Ministers to be his Ambassadors, to whom he giveth Commission in his Name to call the children of men unto this most near and sweet relation, they do represent his person, and are to invite and woe in his Name, that people would come and join themselves unto him. The Apostle Paul tells the Corinthians, how successful his Embassage was amongst them, upon this account, 2 Cor. 11. 3. I have espoused you unto one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin unto Christ. And when any Ministers are instrumental in the conversion of any, they do espouse them to Christ; in conversion, sinners are divorced from sin, and are married unto the Lord Jesus. The Lord by his Word in the mouth of his Ministers, doth make a general invitation unto all the children of men, and particularly, all the Daughters of men are invited to be Christs Spouse; Hearken, O Daughter, and consider, incline thine ear, &c. Such as are elder are invited, but especially those that are younger; whether married or unmarried; of higher degree, or of the meanest quality; even the poorest servants are as welcome to be Christ's Spouse, as those that are rich; He regardeth not the rich more than the poor; He chose a mean Virgin, espoused to a Carpenter, to be his Mother; and he chooseth and calleth any such, and those which are lower than such to be his Spouse.

It is upon this account that Christ doth send his Ministers to be his Embassadours, to whom he giveth Commission in his Name to call the children of men unto this most near and sweet relation, they do represent his person, and are to invite and woe in his Name, that people would come and joyn themselves unto him.
