Sixthly, and lastly, If you would know whether you have an interest in Christ, Then be very much in observing what interest Christ ha's in you.
Observe whether he ha's the interest of a head, a husband, a father, or no; Christ ha's a general interest in all creatures, as he is the Creator and Preserver of them: And he ha's a heads interest, a husbands interest, a fathers interest, only in them that have a saving interest in him. The interest of the head, the husband, the father, is the greatest interest, 'tis the sweetest interest, 'tis a commanding interest, 'tis a growing interest, 'tis a peculiar interest, 'tis a lasting interest; and really, if the Lord Jesus hath such an interest in you, you may be as confident that you have a real and glorious interest in him' as you are confident that you live. And thus much for the means whereby you may come to know your interest in rich Jesus.

Before I close up this discourse, give me leave to speak a few words to poor sinners, who to this very day are afar off from this Jesus, who is so rich in all excellencies and glories.
