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

2. Where Christ communicates a little, there he will communicate more, 'tis a gift, not a portion: There are showers which gush out of a cloud, but they quickly cease, they grow less and less: There are drops which distil out of a fountain, and they still increase: Thou hast no sooner received one degree of grace, but Christ is ready to add another. Methinks the child should suck quietly, when, although it takes not in the whole breast at once, yet the milk is spinning out to renew a further drought after the former is gone down.
