The riches of grace displayed in the offer and tender of salvation to poor sinners. Wherein is set out, the gracious behaviour of Christ, standing at the door and knocking for entrance. The dutiful behaviour of sinners in hearing Christs voice and opening to him. And the comfortable event upon them both. / By Obadiah Sedgwick. B.D. and late minister of the Gospel in Covent-Garden.
London: printed by T.R. & E.M. for Adoniram Byfield, 1657

In respect of morals she was a common where, verse 18. In respect of present disposition she was an hard hearted wretch, she would not give Christ so much as a cup of cold water, verse 9. nay a mocking sinner; almost at every word that Christ spake, and yet Christ stood not upon any of these.
