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.

In Luke 14. 21. The Master of the house said to servant, go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the City, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind; Here's not a man of quality, of any dignity, of any self-sufficiency, but a company of indigent, impotent, deformed, ⟨p. 116⟩wounded sinners; yet th•se are by Christ invited and welcome, Isa. 55. 1. Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money, come ye, buy and eat, yea come, buy milk and honey without money, and without price.
In Luke 14. 21. The Master of the house said to servant, go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the City, and bring in hither the poore, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blinde; Here's not a man of quality, of any dignity, of any self-sufficiency, but a company of indigent, impotent, deformed, ⟨p. 116⟩wounded sinners; yet th•se are by Christ envited and welcome, Isa. 55. 1. Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money, come ye, buy and eat, yea come, buy milk and honey without money, and without price.
There is in Christ, water to cleanse, milk to nourish, bread to strengthen, Honey to comfort, a full good for a sinner, all good for a sinner: And the sinner is called upon to come, yea, the second time to come; yea, the third time to come. And the sinner is every sinner; Ho, every one that thirsteth, every sinner who feels his want, and sees his need, and desire Christ.
