The second Remedy against this Device 1of Satan, is, solemnly to dwell upon these following Scriptures which do clearly evidence, that poor sinners which are not so and so prepared, and qualified to meet with Christ, to receive and embrace the Lord Jesus Christ, may notwithstanding that believe in Christ, and rest and lean upon him for happiness and blessedness, according to the Gospel. Read the first of the Proverbs, from vers. 20. to the end, and the 11. first verses of the 8. of the Proverbs, and the six first verses of the 9. of the Proverbs, and the 14. first ⟨p. 371⟩verses of Ezek. chap. 16. and the 3. of John 14, 15, 16, 17, 18. 36. verses, and the 3. of the Revelations, vers. 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20. Here the Lord Jesus Christ stands knocking at the Laodiceans door, he would fain have them to sup with him, and that he might sup with them; that is, that they might have intimate communion and fellowship one with another.
