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.

Ver. 4. Yet for all this Christ did put in his hand by the hole of the door. How often hath Christ overcome a sinner in his Age, who would not hearken unto him in his youth.
