The orthodox evangelist. Or A treatise wherein many great evangelical truths (not a few whereof are much opposed and eclipsed in this perilous hour of the passion of the Gospel) are briefly discussed, cleared, and confirmed: as a further help, for the begetting, and establishing of the faith which is in Jesus. As also the state of the blessed, where; of the condition of their souls from the instant of their dissolution: and of their persons after their resurrection.

Obj. 7. Matth. 11.28. Come unto me all ye that are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest: Here rest seems to be promised to the qualifications; of being weary, and heavy laden, which precede faith.
Ans. Be it so, that weariness and being heavy laden (in this place spoken of) precede faith, (though all seem not so to understand it,) yet we must distinguish between the invitation of the weary, and heavy laden to come: and the promise made unto the weary, and heavy laden, if (being invited) they do come: The invitation is made to the qualifications, weary, 1and heavy laden: the promise to coming. In which words (saith Piscator) he promiseth not that he will ease all that are heavily laden with their sins, but all who feeling the burden of their sin, come unto him: but this none do but the Elect which are drawn of the Father.
