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

Life is come into my body, and sin is come into my soul, and the Law is come into my conscience, and the Gospel is come unto my ear: and strivings are come into my Spirit, and honours are come upon my Name, and riches are come upon my Trade, and friends are come in to my society, but Christ, but Jesus Christ is not yet come into my house.
Nay, yet again, a sword is come to waste us, famine is like to come to pine us, death will surely come to remove us, and judgement, the judgement of God will come to condemn us, and if Christ be not come in to save us, what will become of our Christless ⟨p. 182⟩souls? Therefore try and examine your selves, prove your selves whether Christ be in you, 2 Cor. 13. 5.

He hath called upon you by his Word, but is he come in? He hath offered himself to you by his. Ministers, but is he come in? He hath knocked at your doors by the strivings of his Spirit, but is he come in? ye have been almost persuaded to open, but is he come in? you think that you have opened unto him, but is he come in? you think that he is come in and hath taken possession, but is he so indeed?
