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

3. The inexcusableness of thy soul, if yet thou wilt harden thy heart and not open. Why, what wilt thou? what canst thou plead for thy self at the day of judgment? Wilt thou say, the Gospel never offered me Christ? Why, thou hast heard this day that it saith, If any man will hear and open, &c.
