Is at hand] we read it; but according to the original rather thus, The Kingdom of Heaven hath approached, Appropinquavit: As if he should say thus, Do you turn to God, because God hath turned to you: do you draw near to God, because the kingdom of grace, and free-remission hath drawn near to you.
Is at hand] we reade it; but according to the original rather thus, The Kingdome of Heaven hath approch'd, Appropinquavit: As if he should say thus, Do you turn to God, because God hath turned to you: do you draw neer to God, because the kingdom of grace, and free-remission hath drawn neer to you.
There are Two Notes that lie here before us, that I shall commend unto your consideration.
The First is this, That the Kingdom of Heaven, of Grace, Mercy, and of free-remission does approach unto us before we do come unto it.
And Secondly, That the appropinquation, or drawing near of the Kingdom of Heaven, is the highest, and greatest argument, and motive in the world unto true repentance.
