2. A whole Christ is opened unto: O brethren, as Christ, so every thing in and about Christ, is precious: His salvation is precious, his doctrine is precious, his way is precious, his redemption is precious, his righteousness is precious, his holiness is precious, his blood is precious, his will is precious. His Priestly office is precious, and so is his Prophetical office, and so is his Kingly office: Reigning with Christ is precious, and so is suffering for Christ; Gaining by Christ is precious, and so is losing for Christ; Receiving from Christ is precious, and so is doing for Christ; The comforting virtue of Christ is precious, and so is his mortifying virtue, and so is his healing virtue, and so is his guiding or leading virtue. An half Christ was never ordained to be a Saviour, the whole Lamb was a sacrifice; and a whole Christ is a sinners salvation.

An heart, and an heart is ever a false heart: the young man in the Gospel was willing to have Christ, but then he must have his possessions too: Some of the Jews would have had Christ, but then they must have the praise of men too. O no, one heaven cannot hold too Sons; one heart can hold but one Christ only, or no Christ at all; Christ and grace it may hold (many pearls may be upon one string) but Christ and sin it cannot hold, (light and darkness have no communion.) The heart of man is just fit for Christ: There is so much in Christ as will take up a whole heart. There is not a room or corner to be spared for any lust.
