I come to the Application
Whist I stand upon this Truth,1 me thinks I hear a solemn, and gracious Invitation to all poor tempted souls to come unto Jesus Christ, to come for succour. There's none of you all, but labour under some temptation or other. ⟨p. 230⟩Ye have read that the Lord Christ is a succouring Christ: shall I need to invite you to come unto him? Ye have read how able he is: and willing he is to succour. His heart is bent to succour you, his arms are open, his bosom is open, his heart is open to poor tempted souls that they may receive succour from him. Oh! therefore, you that are tempted, Come unto Jesus Christ that you may be succoured by him, Come unto Christ, Come unto Christ alone.
