If any man will open, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. The truth of this you have further evidenced, Prov. 1. 20. to 24. & Chap. 8. 1. to 6. & Ch. 9. 1. to 6. All these Scriptures with open mouth speak out the truth asserted, viz. That the want of preparations or qualifications, shall not hinder the souls interest in Christ, if the soul will adventure it self by faith upon Christ. I pray what qualifications and preparations had they in Ezek. 16. when God saw them in their blood, and yet that was a time of love, and God (even then) spread his skirt over them, and made a Covenant with them, and they became his. What qualifications or preparations had Paul, Mary Magdalen, Zacheus, and Lydia? &c. And yet these believed in Christ, these had a blessed and a glorious interest in Christ, &c.
