The three Tongues that were written upon the Cross in Greek, Latin, and Hebrew, to witness Christ to be1 the King of the Jews, do each of them in their several Idiom avouch this singular Axiom, that Christ is an all sufficient Saviour, and a three-fold cord is not easily broken. The Apostle puts this out of doubt in that Heb. 7. v. 25.2 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost, that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. Now he were not an Al-sufficient Saviour, if he were not as able to save the greatest, as the least of sinners. Ah sinners, tell Jesus Christ that he hath not excluded you from mercy, and therefore you are resolved that you will sit, ⟨p. 359⟩wait, weep, and knock at the door of mercy, till he shall say, souls be of good cheer, your sins are forgiven, your persons are justified, and your souls shall be saved.
