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.

The communion w•th Christ, and his with us, as it is m•st high so it is most precious; and the most precious communion is that which is most holy and spiritual. It is a precious bl••d which Christ imparts ⟨p. 257⟩in communion, it is a precious love, &c. They are precious fruits of his spirit, &c. They are spiritual blessings in heavenly places, &c.
