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.

6 Immutando, which Austin calls, vocationem Altissimam, and Driedo calls suasionem exaltissimam; In this there is not only the Immission of a good thought, but also the Immutation of a bad and rebellious will; the Divine mercy in and by this, hath so touched and affected the will of a sinner, that he now comes to himself with compunction and displeasure, and flies unto that grace of God in Christ, which a little before he minded not, or contemned.
