Much every way: I will instance in 4. or 5. particulars so many Duties that do flow from hence.
First,1 If there be such a Fullness in Jesus Christ, a Fullness of Grace in Jesus Christ; Then let all men come unto Him. There's none of us all here present, but labour under some wants or other: Oh! says one; I have a great Charge; family, Parish, or other ways; and I want grace to manage it. Oh! says another: I have great and strong Temptations; and I want strength to resist them. Oh! says another: There are many Errors abroad; I want knowledge to discern them, and avoid them; I want wisdom to know the Truth, and join with the Truth, and own the Truth, and manifest the Truth. Well, what ever your wants be, there is enough in Jesus Christ to supply it, there is a fullness in Him; why should we not come unto Him? Oh! you that never tasted of Christs sweetness, that never yet partook of His fullness; Come unto the Lord Jesus that you may be filled for ever.
