Sin and your souls must be two, or Christ and your souls can never be one. Christ is a most precious commodity, 1he is better then Rubies, or the most costly Pearls; and you must part with your old gold, with your shining gold, your old sins, your most shining sins, or you must perish for ever. Christ is to be sought and bought with any pains, at any price; we cannot buy this gold too dear. He ⟨p. 285⟩is a Jewel more worth then a thousand worlds, as all know that have him: Get him, and get all; miss him, and miss all.
