Mistake not good people, The invitation is made to the weary, and heavy laden, but the promise is made to Coming. There are Two things in that speech: Come unto me all ye that are weary, and heavy laden. Here's an Invitation: and here's a Promise: The Invitation is made indeed to those that are weary, and heavy laden: Oh! but the Promise is made to Coming, the Promise is made to Coming.

But that is all one (you will say) for then it seems I am not invited, if the invitation be made to such.
God does not speak every thing, in every Scripture: But man or woman, art thou not invited by some other Scripture? Pray what think ye of that in the 9. of the Proverbs: Wisdom hath built her an house: (that is, Christ, compared with the former Chapter) she hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath furnished her table. She cries upon the high places of the City. What does she cry? read the 4. verse: Who so is simple, let him come in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, ye read it: 'tis, As for him that wanteth heart, Come eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled. The Invitation is made to simple ones: who so is simple, let him turn in hither.
